    Such a great little ice cream spot! The kids absolutely loved it and there were so many delicious flavors to choose from. Everything was very clean and welcoming, and we loved sitting by the window and enjoying the view of downtown. Such a fun place to stop for a treat. Definitely recommend!

    The hype is real. Their ice cream caters to everybody if you are dairy free and all of the above. Their flavors are great and a good variety and just depends on your taste buds. Their portions are real big we got 3 scoops and boy oh boy were they huge. The service was ok. For it being my first time they weren't as friendly as to tasting a few samples (2 of them) before making decision. She looked a bit annoyed but that didn't stop me from enjoying my ice cream honestly. They have a few spots to sit but not that big. Just grab and go kinda situation. They do have some flavors Pints to go if you wish to grab some of those along with other goodies. The strawberry flavor I got was amazing along with cookies and crème.

    Stopped in to get my son a tasty treat after dinner. Many different flavors to choose from. The names didn't have descriptions so we had to ask what a few of them were. It would have been nice to be offered samples but there was only one guy working and there were a few other groups of people in line so I didn't ask. I settled on Circus Circus which was delicious. The young gentleman couldn't tell me what was in it because they just got it that morning. It had sprinkles and crushed animal crackers for sure. My son settled on a double scoop of bubblegum and chocolate. He enjoyed his as well. What could be better than house made ice cream?

    Was wandering around downtown during our recent long weekend in Boise and ran across Stella's. Excellent selection of vegan ice cream -- my wife and I were blown away with the variety. Not crowded -- fast friendly service. We loved our choices -- SUPER tasty. Please open a Stella's in San Diego!

    Stopped here driving through Boise. The ice cream was very good. Their Single scoop is giant! The place was packed and we saw it had great reviews online and knew we had to try it! Service was great and atmosphere was good.

    Cute little ice cream parlor in downtown Boise Idaho. It is really homemade rich ice cream so one scoop would be more than enough. You can buy dipped cone sprinkle cones waffle cones or in the cup. There are dozens and dozens of choices plus baked goods like brownies and cookies. The servers are very friendly and helpful and the weight is generally not too long.

    Double Scoop on a waffle cone

    I really wanted to love Stella's. Their ice cream is handmade in small batches, and they have more vegan flavors than I've seen at any other ice cream shop in the world. In fact, they have more flavors than Baskin Robbin's. While this level of variety is impressive, I feel it may be contributing to an overall low quality product. On a Saturday night, there was a line out the door, but it moved quickly. I love ice cream, and did not hesitate to get a double scoop on a cone. I do not remember the flavors I chose, because they did not have much flavor. The scoops were icy and bland. At this price point, I expected full fat, creamy ice cream (I got non-vegan flavors). It tasted watered down, like Breyers-level quality. The waffle cone was passable.

    Ice Cream at 9:00 pm on a Friday night with the outside temperature at 30 degrees? Yes, please but only at Stella's. I've been to the Eagle location multiple times but this was my first time at the very crowded and busy downtown location. There's not a lot of space and with a line deep with about ten to twelve customers, it can get claustrophobic. I was expecting that there were only be a couple of vegan flavors like the Eagle location but the downtown location has about fifteen vegan flavors including Rocky Road. Geesh. I haven't had Rocky Road since the 1980s at the Payless Drug Store. Stella's Rocky Road vegan version is absolute heaven. Creamy - Check Crunchy - Check Marshmallows - Check Chocolatey - Check 10 out of 10 The staff moves the line along very quickly and if you're fortunate to grab a seat by the window, you get a ringside seat to the craziness that walks along the street. I totally recommend Stella's Ice Cream. Grab a scoop or two and enjoy.

    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!

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.

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.

    Delicious treats!…read more I've been here several times now and the service and quality of ingredients are consistently great! I've tried several of their Italian ice flavors and all of them pair perfectly with the vanilla soft serve. Their dirty sodas are delicious as well!

There is even a quaint little back room away from the main counter with a few tables and chairs. Will definitely be back, and will definitely bring my kids here next time!

I have checked their menu online before so I had a general idea of what kind of goodies they had. I was excited that I finally get to check out the place I drive by all week. I came in late afternoon so it was pretty chill. The gal behind the counter was helping someone in the drive thru window which gave me a minute to look over the menu. I also got to check out the venue while I was waiting. The little shop is so cute! I adore all the Valentines decor everywhere. After scoping out the joint, I headed back to check out the menu again. Everything on the menu looked tasty. Some of the soda combinations looked really good but I didn't know if some of the syrups they had were sugar free. So after the gal was done, I was able to get a couple questions answered. The only sugar free syrup they had was vanilla. Such a bummer since they have so many other flavors to accommodate their drink list. Doesn't give sugar free drinkers many drink options. So, I ordered a custom dirty soda of diet Dr. Pepper with sugar free vanilla and cream. I also ordered a kid's size of chocolate and vanilla swirl custard too. I am in awww at how much custard you get in a kid's size! You are truly getting your money's worth. My drink was wrapped up and I grabbed my goodies and made my way into the side room to enjoy my goodies. I had to sit in the side room to eat my treat. It was fun sitting next to the colorful wall. Whoever painted it did such a great job! My custard swirl was so good! It was creamy. Chocolate and vanilla will always be a winning combination. I ate about half and really wanted to take the rest home but I wasn't going home anytime soon. Sucked I was getting rid of it. I did take a sip of my dirty soda on my way out of the door. I didn't really taste any flavoring in it. I thought maybe the sweetness of the custard was still present on my taste buds so I waited to take another drink. My drink was disappointing. You can taste the cream in it. I don't know if the soda syrup was out but the Dr. Pepper taste was very light. I didn't really taste any of the sugar free vanilla. I did finish the soda cause I didn't want to waste it but I'll just stick to the frozen treats the next time I'm in. Happy I got to stop in today. The custard was so good! I can't wait till it gets hotter and can come here with my husband. Their shakes sound great and my husband is a sucker for a good milkshake. I have a feeling he's going to love this place. I am looking forward having the churro dessert with the custard on top time. That combination just sounds fantastic and it will be a must have the next time I'm in.

This ice cream is both lighter but to richer, and seems less oily in your mouth. That allows the flavor to shine which is great because Negranti has fun flavors like strawberry basil and espresso. They also have basics like vanilla which are full of flavor and are anything but boring. You can get a basic cup or cone or get a cookie ice cream sandwich. I just stuck with a basic cup because I wanted to highlight the ice cream. I stuck with the vanilla, because I'm a simple girl, and it was truly so flavorful and silky that I could have eaten a pint. I encourage you to try something you're familiar with so you can compare the difference. I'd you're not in love with the idea of sheep's milk they do have a few cow's milk options so you can have something familiar. The prices feel high, but isn't that true for everything everywhere right now? I think it's reasonable to pay a premium for quality and, I hope, to compensate workers fairly. Give Negranti a try. I heard they're trying to source their own sheep's milk locally and I support trying to keep their money local so I'd love to keep funding this business.

    I love this place, but last night night was a big disappointment and even some anger…read more My parents, wife, daughter and I decided to drive from Meridian so I could introduce the ice cream to my visiting parents. We first tied on the 26th of December but the sign said it was closed for the day. Last night, the 28th, we tried again since store hours said it would close at 8. We arrived 15 minutes before closing, after spending 15 minutes looking for parking. When we got to the door it was closed, even though the sign clearly said closing was at 8pm. My wife pulled on the door to see if it was open and that maybe thr place was just preparing to close to get out as soon as they could after 8. Door was locked, and the employee ran to the back (trying to hide I guess). A closing early sign was have been dissapointing and frustrating but having a worker being there and running away is insulting. Makes one wonder how seriously they take their job in other areas of preparation/handling of the ice cream.
