I do ice cream dates with my kiddos towards the end of summer. Getting some quality time in with all of them now that we are heading into the tail end of summer. 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. read more

We saw this place on our way to dinner and planned to come afterwards. We both just wanted a small simple soft serve. I wanted vanilla which their version of vanilla is sweet cream. It didn't have the vanilla flavor I was craving. My husband got the chocolate which I tried and that it tasted much better. The mini size is plenty big by the way. My biggest issue is 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 wherever. 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 waking distance. read more

Best soft serve in Boise! And in the running for overall best ice cream! Staff is great and ice cream is delish!

Outstanding product and service. Some of the highest quality ice cream that I've ever tasted. Both indoor and outdoor seating. The building is a fun and modern take on a 50s soda shop. read more

Cute little ice cream shop! Love the colors and the vibe inside. The soft serve was super tasty. I had half lavender and half vegan lemon. That combo in general is one of my favorites and it was perfect and we topped it with toasted coconut. I'll definitely be back! read more

Soft Landing Soft Serve - Lavender and vegan lemon with toasted coconut - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Boise, Idaho

This place is very small and cute, but I'd honestly rate it a 3.5. I drove around three times trying to figure out where to park. The signs on the side streets were super confusing and I couldn't understand them. The parking lot was closed off coming in from 12th, I guess it was only able to get into it from the side road, but it was single lane and very narrow. I had no idea if that was the entry to the parking lot or not so I didn't even try. It literally had two spots so I didn't try. One spot was taken and there was a handicap I could have parked in. An older entitled man came and parked in the spot between the handicap spot and the normal spot. The marked off area. The ice cream itself is ok. Nothing that I would want to bother myself with trying to try to find parking with again. The service was good. As soon as I walked in I was asked if I needed any help or wanted to sample anything. I didn't get a chance to look at the menu yet, but it is awesome that they allow you to sample things. I had a twist of sweet cream and chocolate. Small. Fudge and peanut brittle chips. She definitely loaded the small cup up. I had three chips in the cup. The total was under $7, but over $6. I probably wouldn't come back here just because I hate trying to figure out where will I park. I had to park near the fanci freeze. I'm not against walking, I just hate trying to figure out where I'm supposed to park. read more

You had me at no artificial flavors! We came on a Saturday and parked right out front on the street. The place is cute and the smell when you walk in is amazing. They make their own waffle cones, natural sprinkles, and cookies. They offered us samples right away. We had the blueberry, sweet cream and a sundae. The waffle cones were delicious. I would definitely come again and try their other flavors. read more

Definitely some of the best soft serve around, would highly recommend to anyone in the area. We went during their soft open and the staff were friendly and the service was excellent. Overall can't wait to go back. read more

What amazing toppings. I tried the potato chip brittle, the sweet nuts, and the waffle chocolate crisp on my soft serve. I am truly impressed and the peach and chocolate soft serves were outstanding. As I'm visiting from Seattle, I wish we had more soft serve like this. I am transported to summer, being a 10 year old kid, riding bikes, reading a pile of books, and waiting for the 4th. Soft landing gives me this vibe. Also, great service and really good prices. Seattle is super expensive and I enjoy trying to blend in as a local. read more

Soft serve ice cream shop that uses quality ingredients. They always have chocolate and vanilla but then cycle through weekly special flavors. Every flavor I've tried has been really good! They have tons of toppings options which you can add for $1. The sprinkles are dye free. This place is good both in the summer and the winter! No true parking lot but parking on the street on the side of the building. read more

First time I came in, I had the girl just staring at me as I had never been in so felt awkward to me and felt rushed didn't know what I wanted. But the ice cream is really great. The unique flavors are okay not very strong but subtle. The atmosphere has a good vibe, bathrooms are about a good 7/10 as well. read more

Best soft serve in Boise! Went an hour before closing and there was a good amount of people out. The staff were helpful in answering any questions I had. The place itself had mix of pastel colors and checkered tiles, with seating inside - very clean! The prices are reasonably too - a mini was $4 and the staff let me choose 2 flavors. The ice cream was smooth and creamy! Heard they change out the flavors each week so would def come back to try new flavors. read more

Cute trendy vibe ice cream shop. I will say parking is not the best but it's worth the walk. Service was friendly and helpful. Variety of choices to pick from but not overwhelming. Bonus: it's across the street from our favorite donut shop (DKDonuts). Plenty of space to sit inside or outside. Come give them a try. Worth it. read more

Best ice cream in the valley! I feel like Boise is chock full of traditional hard-pack ice cream shops but soft serve and frozen yogurt is hard to find. No longer! Soft Landing just opened on State Street across from DK donuts and it's the best ice cream I've ever tasted (and I've tasted a lot.) Today was opening day and I found my way in. They have five flavors: four dairy and one vegan. The dairy were sweet cream, chocolate, cereal milk, and blueberry, along with a sorbet blood orange. Each one was bursting with flavors with a velvety, creamy texture. It wasn't icy at all or super rich which allowed the flavor to shine. They have a bunch of fun toppings including potato chips and other non traditional things. Portions were reasonable for the price and they can do a cone or cup. Along with ice cream they have a full espresso bar with great coffee so you can get an affogato or a latte along with your cereal milk ice cream. That's breakfast, right? Service was fast and incredibly friendly. The space is bright and clean and would be perfect for a hang with friends or family. The parking lot is teeny tiny but you can park along State or 14th. Definitely give this place a try. It's amazing! read more

Stopped here for a sweet treat and it was pretty good! The inside was super cute with bright tile and a family friendly atmosphere. They had a limited selection of flavors and toppings making it a simple ice cream spot, which I appreciated. We got the sweet cream ice cream with brownie bites and sprinkles. Very creamy ice cream and the brownie bites were yummy! It didn't blowww me away but would come here again to satisfy a soft serve craving! read more

This soft serve was PERFECT. So so good. I love that the flavors change every week too. I think the location is perfect to serve downtown/Hyde Park as the weather warms up. We parked around the corner and walked over and it was really easy to enjoy our treats in the sunshine. Service was quick and friendly too. We love frozen yogurt in our family so it's nice to be able to hit pause on that and have some authentic soft serve instead. read more

In town for work and am happily doing an ice cream tour while I'm here. I was excited that Soft Landing had both vegan icecream as well as a vegan gluten free cone for me to try. Both were delicious, as well as the super yummy potato chip brittle I got on top. The huckleberry sorbet was delicious, I really appreciated that it wasn't too sweet. The cone was also great, having a bit more of a cinnamon sugar taste than the usual vanilla cone I'm used to. The service was great. Nice and fast and friendly. I didn't stay to eat but there were some nice seats both inside and outside and a decent ambiance minus the busy street it's connected to. read more

Amazing crunchy ice cream! Not only does it taste amazing but it is made without harmful ingredients so you can enjoy a sweet treat without the terrible dyes and artificial junk! The store is super aesthetic and clean. The menu is simple yet fun. And the wait staff are all super nice and welcoming. 10/10 recommend! I want to see more businesses like this! They are doing everything right! read more

If you've had a Wendy's soft serve, then you've had this--only this one is 70% smaller and more expensive. The staff was nice enough, but I just dropped $32 and still had to tip. I think the specialty ice cream, cookie, and dessert market is getting a little lofty. I guess I expected more for such a steep price, but I got less. No offense--just my observation read more

I took my daughter and Grandbabies for the first time and it's a cute spot. Parking isn't convenient as it's on the corner on State St but we managed. The flavors available were sweet cream, cotton candy, chocolate and ? (I forget) then also a lemon. The toppings were unique, niche I'd say. We ordered the cotton candy and it was not overly sweet and I'd highly recommend (they offer tiny spoons to taste) my daughter loved the sweet cream. They offer cones and bowls. I decided to be different and get the potato chip toffee and that was my mistake, it tasted burned and was almost too hard to bite into. We'll definitely return because the soft serve was just that good. read more

We've visited twice and the ice cream is fantastic... delicious, and smooth. Someone wanting a cheap/huge serving of bad ingredient ice cream won't like it here. Anyone that wants really good ice cream without all the guilt of being unhealthy, and willing to pay a few dollars more, then this is the right spot. The ice cream sandwiches are top notch as well. The customer service was also great, both times, lots of smiles. read more

I this new sweet spot!!! The soft serve is delicious! Some of the best I've had! Also so wonderful to see the owner, Katie, there behind the counter. I highly recommend you go NOW!!!! read more

Soft Landing Soft Serve - Fresh baked chocolate chip cookie sandwich & a sweet cream/chocolate soft serve w/ sprinkles of course!!! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Boise, Idaho

One of our favorite stops when visiting Boise. Excellent soft serve and great prices.

Me and my aunt just tried this place for the first time when she picked me up from the airport for my annual visit and we were really glad we did. The ice cream is really tasty and smooth, just as soft serve should be. There's so many options to choose from you could be there for hours if you can't make up your mind LOL. You can also take some of their ice cream home in small amounts, and they even have ice cream sandwiches in the "fancy" flavors. The servers are super friendly and don't rush you at all. The place is nice and clean and has plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors for lots of families. I've only been to two ice cream parlors in Boise so far (can't remember the other one) but nevertheless I would definitely recommend this place in a heartbeat!! Perfect for those hot summer days!! read more

Very cute place. The gals that took our order were pleasant and attentive. The soft serve is pillowy soft and just the right amount of sweet. read more

The staff was Super nice but the ice cream was pretty much flavorless. I got the peach and my wife got the chocolate, both had very little flavor and a funky aftertaste. We both dumped half our cups, not worth the calories. read more

Amazing soft serve ice cream! They have GF cones, ice cream, and toppings along with a very nice staff.

Cute place but parking is challenging and the recipes for the soft serve are surprisingly bland. Also skimpy with sprinkles. But we're still happy to support a local business that put so much thought and care into the overall vibe. read more

Unfortunately, we were disappointed. Happened to be downtown so decided to stop by- sooo happy we didn't make a special trip downtown for this! The ice cream was good, but nothing to write home about. They had 6 toppings only, and I wasn't that excited about any of them. My son ordered a regular and immediately commented, wow that's not very much ice cream. For the price, it would be nice if they were generous. Only two parking spaces, and not abundant street parking close by. Unfortunately we will not be coming back. However, for those who have specific dietary needs, I can see that this would be a spot worth making an effort to go to. read more

Wow! I was very impressed with soft landing's soft serve ice cream. This will be my go-to sweet treat place in the valley. I devoured a sweet cream sundae with caramel sauce and potato chip brittle served in a waffle bowl. I left no crumbs. read more

This place was adorable! Super fresh, clean tasting soft serve with simple toppings that were free of artificial food dyes and all the icky stuff us crunchy moms try to avoid. To my surprise they had GLUTEN FREE WAFFLE CONES!!! I was so excited!
