    Chocolate coconut with banana and peanut

    Cool little local ice cream shop. I wish they had more non dairy items. They do have a bunch of interesting dairy flavors though.

    Scoops are big. Service is friendly. More than enough flavors to select from. Perfect stop for a summertime treat!

    This is simply the best ice cream I have ever tried. I recommend the Wookie Cookie, give it a try.

    It's just about the best ice cream I've ever eaten. Congrats to the owners for adding such a great local gem to the Boise community!

    Some of the best ice cream I've ever had…read more A small little store front by the big food market. The entrance is on the street and not in the food court itself. The store features a rotating menu of flavors. They will let you try out the different flavors. A small gets you two flavors. The ice cream is all rich and creamy and high quality. We had the honeycomb and Carmel which had big chunks of honeycomb. It was our favorite. I paired it with the Déjà vu which had a strong almond flavor. We also had the Idaho bourbon flavor which was perfect! Give this place a try! It's amazing!

    Would give 4.5 if half stars were a thing. Really only subtracting a star because one of the people…read morebehind the counter seemed like they did not want to be dealing with customers. The other person there was great though! I was drawn in by the array of unique flavors and vegan options. I had really wanted to get something boozy and vegan, but they only had one flavor on at the moment that fit the bill and I wasn't particularly interested, so I sampled a few of the dairy boozy flavors and went with a vegan non-boozy ice cream for my actual order because a full scoop of dairy ice cream does not sit right in my stomach. I liked the boozy flavors more but that was only because of the flavors offered - the vegan ice cream itself was great, very smooth and creamy, not overly sugary. I got the float season vegan ice cream: blackberry ice cream with salted dark chocolate. I did still enjoy this flavor a lot. I really liked the crunchy bittersweet dark chocolate bits. I didn't get anything to drink but I was kind of tempted. The ice cream + beer or wine flights looked interesting. I don't know wine well enough to comment, but it looked like they had a good selection of beer with quality brewers and a good variety of beer types. This is technically a Warehouse Food Hall vendor but it's only accessible from the street outside the food hall. I wasted a few minutes wandering around the food hall trying to find it before I looked outside. They have a fair amount of seating inside and outside.

They only had one worker there and the line got busy on a sunny Sunday afternoon. The space is shared with another company that is no longer there. Lots of natural lighting and a patio to sit out on.

    For those who don't know the backstory, STIL (sweetest things in life) opened in July 2017 when two…read morefriends figured out there was no premium ice cream made from local Boise ingredients. In less than a year, STIL was voted as Boise's Best Dessert. Lots of gluten free and vegan options. The flavors change regularly but here are some favorites: Cookies with Grandma - Coconut ice cream with cookie dough. Made from a non dairy base which is very cream. I dare you to blind taste this and figure out it's dairy free. Cabin Time - peanut butter ice cream with small bits of Oreos. Very peanuty but not much Oreo. Good but not great. Bake Sale - Brownies ice cream with cookie dough with chocolate drizzled on it. Dairy but gf. One of the most popular and I can see why. Grandpa's Stories - Vanilla ice cream with Scotch Ale. Oreos, & Caramel mixed in. Alcohol is subtle and I could still drive. You can pair the ice cream with wine or beer (which seems odd to me). There's a few lunch items too. This is premium ice cream and rate high but it's not the best I've ever had

I was actually supposed to meet my nephew at the new location in Eagle. It's actually closer to us but my sweet nephew got confused and headed down to the downtown location. No problem, I made my way downtown to meet my baby for some aunty/nephew time. It's been a few months since I have been in. The shop is a cute as ever. Merch is now available. The pink t shirt they have available was calling my name! It's the perfect shade of pink and sooooo soft. I will have to come back and really check out the merch. My nephew had already been waiting for me to arrive. He's ready for his ice cream! I noticed that they had pistachio as a flavor at the Eagle location. Kinda bummed that it wasn't available here but sweet cream and chocolate will always be a winning combo here. So today I grabbed a kiddie swirl. My nephew grabbed the medium cup with sweet cream, cherry sauce and brownies. Our ice cream was fantastic. My nephew polished off his big cup. Not gonna lie, all the extras he added made his cup look sooooooo good! I as well polished off mine. Can't leave any behind. We got to hang out with the other customers that were enjoying their treats. It makes me heart so happy seeing all these folks come and support a small local business. It's the best! I am going on another ice cream date with my neice next week. Looking forward to checking out the new venue with her. Still happy that my nephew and I got to come here today to enjoy our sweet treat. You can never beat the original.

It didn't have the vanilla flavor I was craving. My husband got the chocolate which I tried and it tasted much better. The mini size is plenty big by the way. My biggest issue was the parking here. Their parking lot has two spots, that's it! The only parking is on the street...kinda, because there were signs all over that said you had to have a permit, so my husband circled around the block while I got our ice cream. I told the gal at the counter about the parking situation, not that she could do anything about it, but she did say you can ignore the signs in the evening and park anywhere . I guess it's more enforced during work hours. If I lived in the north end I would come back and try their other flavors but I don't so it's probably a one and done for me. Definitely a try for those that live walking distance.
