    Lovejoy's provides a fun experience for anyone looking for a sweet treat. The staff was young, spunky and friendly with big smiles on their faces. They helped make recommendations for us since it was our first time here, and we are glad we took them up on them. Our milkshake was absolutely delicious. We also ordered the Californian Panini, which we later realized they forgot to add the avocado to. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Fortunately my toddler didn't seem to mind.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We appreciated that they had A toy cash register and ice cream cart in the corner to entertain her while we were visiting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Seems as though Lovejoy's is a local favorite, and as a non local, we would also recommend!

    Ice cream making experience

    I Hosted a little Galentines party for my daughters and their friends last weekend . I was able to reserve the party room with ease, all online. Lovejoys was so accommodating while I was setting up, they let me decorate and bring in an extra bench into the party room, they even helped throw out some extra boxes I had while setting up for my party. The whole experience was amazing, the employees were all super sweet and kind. A frame painting activity was set up by their team and an ice cream making and tasting experience was had by these little girlies. The ice cream was all incredibly delicious. Each girl was able to pick a scoop of their choice. Every friend remarked of how they had a great time. We loved it! Thanks for a great Galentines!

    So many yummy flavors!

    Kids and adults alike like the ice cream here! They have some unique flavors and the staff is nice. Portion sizes are generous, as my kids were able to share a double and still had plenty! They also have a room in the back you can rent out for parties, which is pretty cool.

    This is a whimsical little ice cream shop with lots of fun flavors, a family friendly environment (here's looking at you, baby wipes!) and a unique display of ice cream scoops. Unfortunately, our experience was not as pleasant as it could have been due to the service. The teens scooping up ice cream seemed inconvenienced that my kids and I wanted to try a few flavors (no one tried more than 2) but they were not very friendly or smiling, which made me feel like I had to rush to make a choice even though they were not busy. The ice cream was great, they had plenty of seating, and even baby wipes to clean up sticky messes, as well as a few small toys for kids. Maybe we just caught them on an off day but the service was lacking.

    Uh~maz~ing! I've never had ice cream this good. Like ever. Their website says they make small batch ice cream with locally sourced, fresh ingredients, and you can absolutely tell. I had the huckleberry cheesecake, and it was to die for. They have flavors for the adventurous and for those who like to play it safe, there's something for everyone. The shop is super cute and pretty spacious. The "1 scoop" was way more than I thought I'd eat by myself and at only $4.50 it was a steal!

    We have multiple favorites there... but the last time, we ordered a banana split! It did not disappoint! The flavors are rich and true... so when you pick a flavor, you can expect to actually taste it with high quality ingredients and smooth texture.

    I've come here a few times. I always get the cookies and Cream. It never disappoints. The cooke and ice cream ratio is great. The line does go out the door on weekends but the service is quick and they allow samples as well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside is nice and feels cozy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are many seats and a bigger table for big parties.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The wall of ice cream scoops is unique and so cute.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You can also take home tubs of ice cream and they have ice packs.

    Huckleberry Cheesecake Ice cream
    GlitterChick O.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Always such a great environment when you walk in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Always greeted with hello welcome to Lovejoy's would you like to try a sample. Tried three or four, until I chose mine to-go. Not sure on the sample limits if there is one. I would joke and say until they run out of metal sample spoons. Lol [[HIGHLIGHT]]Such a GREAT spot to go to after a long warm day![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They are best known for their waffle cones, settled down with the bowl tonight great choice! Tried the huckleberry cheesecake it was Very good! Great flavor & it was smooth! Y'all better go get it before it's gone! Stamp card got filled for two to-go container ice creams. Just ask for one of you don't have one started. I'll be back for sure!

    This place is SOOO good!! Don't miss out! We're from seattle, visiting family here and had to stop by for ice cream after a fun day at roaring springs water park. The ladies behind the counter were wonderful, the ambiance is adorable and the ice cream is delectable! Super creamy, outstanding flavors, reasonable prices. They also have a keto option, which I've never seen before at an ice cream shop. The waffle cones were great. We got the rocky road, dark matter and huckleberry cheesecake - they were all incredibly delicious! 10/10 we will definitely make this a regular stop when we're in Boise!

The display cases had a great variety so I know sticking to my plan was going to be challenging. Grabbing a couple things and go sure was hard! They had some specialty donuts on display and man did they look killer! I didn't know what they were specifically but they looked delicious! All of them nicely decorated and garnished. But, with much restraint, I got a big apple fritter for my husband and some donut holes for the grandmas. My mom didn't let me grandma have any donut holes so I had to take one for the team and enjoy them for her. They were so good! They were soft and tasty. Every donut hole was nicely glazed. It's amazing you can polish off 7 donut holes and not realize that you had that many. They are so dainty that you don't realize how fast you're eating them. Each one was great! The gal that worked today was really sweet. I did take a bite of my husband's apple fritter and it was tasty as well! My husband also enjoyed it. My other grandma enjoyed her donut holes. She too didn't have a beard time eating 7 of them. I'm happy I stopped in today. Looking forward to coming back and grabbing more treats real soon.

    My friend was at the Vault a few doors down. It's a pretty dope cigar bar. They sell liquor there…read morebut I'm not a drinker so it was cool that this chocolate shop was a few steps away. It was perfect timing to stop in for an afternoon caffeinated beverage and a treat. I have been to a lot of parts of Meridian but I didn't even know this shop even existed. Where have I been? This shop is my ideal hang out spot. They have coffee and chocolates, two of my favorite things. And the chocolates here didn't disappoint. They all looked so good. The chocolates were prettily lined up in the bright display case. There was also a variety of packaged goodies too. I'm a visual eater so I like to pick out my own chocolates. Making a decision to which one to get will be the hard part. I got a a couple americanos started for my friend and I. We got iced americanos with sugar free white chocolate and cream. While our drinks were being worked on, I ate my caramel marshmallow milk chocolate heart and checked out all the merch on the floor. I did a run through all the treats in the little paper bags. The chocolate dipped potato chips caught my eye. I love me a sweet and salty treat. I love the Valentines day packaged chocolates. A big red heart full of sweets. There is also cards, art work, stickers and homemade goods. This is a great place to grab a quick and easy gift. My chocolate was so good! The marshmallow, caramel and milk chocolate is such a winning combination. I could have eaten another 2 or 3 pieces but I had some chocolates earlier in the day so I really had to control myself. The americanos looked really good. The sweet gal that made them did a good job. The espresso was very present. The half and half did help with the bitterness of the espresso. The white chocolate was there but I could have used a hair more or a packet of sweetner to make it a tad sweeter. I didn't see any sweetener packets anywhere so I'll have to ask them next time if they have any. But the espresso was just what I needed to keep me going. This venue is very cute. They have all sorts of options here besides coffee and chocolates. There are also Italian sodas, gelato, milk shakes and espresso in a scoop of ice cream. The espresso and ice cream combo is definitely a must try the next time I'm in! There is also a happy hour between 4 to 6 so that will be a great time to come in for a sweet treat. Looking forward to coming back and trying other sweets that are offered here, especially that espresso and ice cream concoction.

He had us laughing the entire meal and gave us some of the best service we've had in a long time. The food was incredible. The sweet potato fries and onion rings were both delicious, and every sauce we tried was amazing. I ordered the PBB&J burger and the Fresca burger. The PBB&J sounds crazy but it was one of the best burgers I have ever had, and they serve it in a vintage Jaws lunchbox which was such a cool surprise. The Fresca was just as good. The decor is awesome and even the merchandise is funny and high quality. We loved the shirts that said "Feed Me Burgers and Call Me Pretty" and "Snitches Get Stitches." This is not just a burger place. It is an experience. We will definitely be back!

I was a little bit scared. Great flavor profile, pretty messy to eat, though I will say the bun holds up to the condiments, so it didn't get soggy. I was surprised and very pleased. Their milkshakes are ridiculously over the top, but three of us shared one and that was perfect. Best onion rings I've ever had.i mean everrrrr. The spicy green beans are also good. And the bacon candied, hanging from the rack is worth an appetizer share A bit spendy, but lots of things that you can share to make it a reasonable experience. It's loud in there, pretty cool 90s music, but you do kind of have to yell so I wouldn't take someone with limited hearing They also have a full bar with some pretty fun little drink and concoctions
