Lots of fun things in the store. We shard a banana split and was delicious. Clean and friendly staff. read more

Sweet Stuff - Banana split - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Lava Hot Springs, Idaho

Stopped during advertised hours and locked with all of the lights on. . They would have had some good sales because several families stopped in addition to ours. read more

Cute, hometown little ice cream shop and candy store. Lava Hot Springs is a cute little tourist town with a small little Main Street and having a corner ice cream shop just makes it more of a cute hometown kind of feel! They have their signature square ice cream scoops and their mint chocolate chip and chocolate peanut butter ice cream tasted great! Their waffle bowl cone was a thin, crisp waffle and added a great texture to the smooth ice cream. read more

Cute sweet shop in downtown lava hot springs. Went out to eat at a Thai food place and then were walking around back to the car and stopped in this place to check out some ice cream. There wasn't anything dairy free, maybe a sorbet or something but I didn't end up getting anything from the ice cream area of it, I did get some kind of dessert that was a candy type thing. Would stop back in but hopefully they could get some dairy free and gluten free options! read more

Omg you know how when you're out with your friends and you decide to stop for ice cream once you get to Lava Hot Springs and then after dinner, you think ice cream is a great idea again so you get ice cream for the second time within two hours? Yeah...me neither...that would be crazy... Ok I lied, that's exactly what happened. Sweet Stuff...that's what's up. We pop into this ice cream shop. It is cute and there are all kinds of candies and whatnot to look through. In the left back area, lies some of the best ice cream in the whole wide world. I had to look up my ice cream flavor because I can't remember what it was called, and then here we are...I still can't find it. It was the chocolatey flavor and I believe it had brownies and marshmallow in it. I got it in a waffle cone and was shocked when it was handed to me as a square. I had never seen ice cream like this before! A little bit more about the square: it is freaking genius. It doesn't seem like much, but somehow, someway, it makes the ratio of waffle to ice cream PERFECT THE ENTIRE TIME. I am obsessed! The funniest part is that it wasn't any worse the second time we got ice cream. I would love to back very soon because it really was that good. Another funny little side note, I am pretty sure everyone in this town has beef with the ice cream shop. It became a running joke on the trip because every single store that is not the ice cream shop, has a sign prohibiting ice cream in their store. I mean, I get the ice cream can get sticky and whatnot...but this is true with all ice creams. However, it is the first time I have ever seen signs all over town prohibiting the ice cream. I have been to many towns with famous ice cream and this was a first for me. I am so excited for my next trip up to Idaho because I will definitely be stopping at Sweet Stuff again. Even though they use Farr Better Ice Cream, I still think theirs specifically is out of this world. read more

This place is a cute little sweet shop with square ice cream and fun candies, but it's nothing spectacular. We had to try the ice cream because who doesn't want to eat ice cream in the shape of a square?! We ordered a couple different flavors and tried bites of all of them. The ice cream was okay -- a little grainy and not as creamy or flavorful as I hoped. The cool thing about it was the shape, not the taste. They also have a deli here, but we didn't try anything from it. Even though the ice cream wasn't especially good, we had a good experience here. There was a long line, but it moved very quickly! We were only waiting for a few minutes. The employees were helpful and kind, too, and there were some unique flavors! Not the greatest ice cream in the world, but it's definitely a fun place to stop on a getaway to Lava Hot Springs. read more

We only ended up eating here after the first two places we tried were closed and the third place was out of everything we tried to order, so we were pretty desperate. The only "food" they offer is subway-style sandwiches, which are pretty much what you expect, but the ladies working the day we were there were super friendly and even made us a special sandwich not on the menu. We came back for dessert and, obviously, that is where this place really shines. I got a freeze, which I love and is not offered at enough places. We also got "The Ultimate," which was so huge, it easily filled the three of us with plenty to spare. read more

Novelty ice cream shop with a variety of candy. The ice cream is just Farrs ice cream. They also have some fun fudge, plenty of seating. A little pricey, but fun to get a square scoop of ice cream. read more

Our kids (ages 15, 14, 13, and 7) loved the candy selection. They each picked out some fun candy and then we had some delicious ice cream. The employees were very helpful and nice. We'll definitely stop by whenever we're in town. read more

The ice cream wasn't that bad, it's just the customer service that sucks. The past 2 times I went there, the teenagers working at the counter were rude and barely even acknowledged me until I started saying my order. I also bought a shake and a scoop of ice cream in a waffle cone and it was $17?! I should've questioned it before I paid because the menu has the prices. read more

The service was amazing! And the ice cream was awesome! I got a waffle cone with playdough. Really recommend coming here.

Cute little shop, ice cream and fudge was decent. Two stars though because a handful of flies all around the ice cream shop in the middle of December and the employees seemed to not care at all and they were okay with it. read more

Been here twice now and have enjoyed it both times. Reason for four stars? I don't eat ice cream so I don't know what it tastes like, just know my kids have loved it. They have like 5 employees at one time trying to help anyone that's ready and they try to get you in and out. Their square scoops are awesome and inventive. Not a lot of sitting room and air conditioning on full blast. Which is nice on a hot day but not good on a day of tubing the river. Lol. I will go here every time I go to the springs. read more

As I stood outside eating my square brick of chocolate chip cookie dough, a family came out of the pizzeria next door and as they were walking into Sweet Stuff, one member squealed, "They have the BEST ice cream." I may have been falsely misled into believing they really do have the best ice cream if I hadn't already been eating mine. Either that guy hasn't made it far from Lava Hot Springs in his approximate 30 years or his statement was a bit of a stretch. I'd rate the ice cream itself about a 5/10 but you really can't ask for a cheaper treat in a tourist town at just around $3 a pop. I'm not trying to be unfair. I went twice in less than 48 hours so it's good enough even for the most critical ice cream lovers. There's also an abundance of other sugary options and some sweet souvenirs - like flasks for the prude hot pools :) Now you know! Take a dip and discreetly get your drink on, you heathens! read more

This place offered some very great service and even better ice cream and fudge! The fancy old candy is fun and tasty too. read more

What can I say, lots of candy, delicious to die for fudge. Everyone was rollin out with big cones of ice cream. Oh and the fudge, big ole chunk. The kind that throws small children over to the dark side. read more

Square Ice Cream. I'm a firm believer that different shapes change the flavor! Kidding aside, I don't care what shape it's in, it's so delicious! Maybe it was all in my head but honestly, the ice cream velvety, smooth, and not overtly sweet. The staff were incredibly friendly and fast. Don't judge Lava Hot Spring's quaint town and be fooled into thinking that they'll have meager offerings. This place is a great stop before your hot soak or after, or really any time of day. read more

Great ice cream and smoothies. Loud and not a lot of room. It was worth the drop and loved our choices. I think the Hawaiian sunset was awesome. read more

Only giving this 2 stars because the ice cream itself wasn't bad. However they use a 'portion control' rectangular ice cream thing. It come onto a cone watery and literally makes no sense as it is a weird square/rectangular block on there. Would definitely not go again as they don't trust their employees to scoop ice cream with a classic scoop. -5 for poor management! Oh and if you don't like ice cream you can try some watermelon fudge; What the... read more

Sweet Stuff - The Front - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Lava Hot Springs, Idaho

Sweet Stuff was a great place to stop for ice cream and Idaho Spuds after a dip in the hot springs.

I've been coming here every summer and we have loved this place. This year we have came twice and the kids working the counter have the worse attitude. Literally tossed my change at me & charged me an additional 50 cents because my order was under $10. Never heard of such a thing. Last time I recall they charged a fee for credit cards not cash. We are working in Lava this summer and it's a shame that they have such bad customer service. Will not be returning until they have that resolved. read more

Yummm! Couldn't say no to some ice cream & candy! It was fun to see some old school candies too!

A cute little candy shop is the only perk. It had fudge that appeared to be lacking any luster. Ice cream was fine. This was an average experience. read more

Typical candy shop. Huckleberry flavored everything if you are into that. There was also huge slabs of fudge. I had a square ice cream cone and it was good. If this place made an Americano as good as their fudge i would have given it another star. I plan to come here again next time I am in Lava. read more

Cute little shop perfect for dessert after dinner in Lava Hot Springs. My boyfriend and I both got "square" ice cream, which I thought was interesting. It is the first time either of us have seen it. The ice cream was good and the young woman serving was polite and fast. It also looked like they sold house-made fudge and had a variety of other candies for sale. No complaints, except my boyfriend's ice cream had ice crystals in it- so either it was really cold or a little old. Either way, it still tasted good. read more

We passed this little shop earlier in the day and saw they had sandwiches and fudge. We went back for sandwiches at lunch and saw everything they had to offer. Walking in I wasn't sure if adults were allowed the chairs are bright pink and white, small and just plastic and fake so it was weird - not to mention there were half a dozen unsupervised children running around - it honestly looked like a kids party or day care.. Regardless, we came for a sandwich and proceeded to order. The sandwiches (subs..?) were great! Fresh vegetable toppings, tomato slice on the spot for both our meals. Really good! I won't lie they were a bit light on meat but it didn't ruin the sandwich. We didn't end up with fudge - I got play dough ice cream however, because it is the best ice cream in the world and not easy to find!! We are in the weird plastic little chairs and table that turned out to not be as bad as they looked. We enjoyed the unique candy selection but didn't end up buying - might stop back in before we leave town, for some fudge and some candy! I cannot forget that they do have an awesome coffee menu - I didn't try it but liked the options they do offer, and then an unbelievable amount of ice cream options (shakes, smoothies, cones, cups, sandwiches, sundaes, toppings like you wouldn't believe!) this place knows what they are doing on all fronts!! Go enjoy! read more

This place is awesome! We stopped here on a road trip and figured this would be a good place to get some ice cream. They scooped the ice cream in fun square shapes and it tasted great. The workers there were very nice and they even gave us a cup of whipped cream for our puppy! Would totally recommend to everyone :) read more

We ordered a three scoop sundae -the second most expensive item on the menu. It came in a one pint cup and with three scoops, toppings and whipped cream it didn't even come to the top of the rim of the cup. The ice cream was terrible with ice crystals. We asked the 14 year old girls-three of them, one hanging over the counter with her boyfriend) and were told they were "kid sized." I asked for the managers name and the heavier girl said she couldn't tell me and when I persisted she said "Sheila." Super rude girls. Don't believe the reviews here read more

They over froze the ice cream so there was clumps of ice in the ice cream! Not Great. The candy shop part looked decent though.

Ice cream is pricey, but pretty good. The staff is extremely unpleasant and short, seems like they'd have a better attitude towards paying costumers. I didn't see any hair nets or gloves being worn while they got my ice cream as well. Don't understand why only one of them was wearing a mask, I get it's optional for employees, just a little strange. read more

Great ice cream served in weird but wonderful little bricks. Try the local flavors-- can't go wrong with Huckleberry!

A charming local business for ice cream, smoothies, and coffee. The service was fast and the prices are reasonable. I had the chocolate peanut butter ice cream, one of my favorites. They serve Farr's ice cream, which is rich and creamy. Unfortunately, several members in my party ate ice cream that had freezer burn and ice crystals. I'm sure if I had said something, they would have kindly offered a scoop of a different flavor. If you're in Lava, stop by and enjoy a treat! read more

Fun and eclectic. Novelty to have square served ice cream. Felt like smaller portions than used to at most creamaries. Ice cream was ok.

Overall a pretty good ice cream shop. The male workers however are very rude and do nothing but hit on girls who come in. If you go in I recommend asking for one of the girls to help you if at all possible. read more

Ice cream and sweets shop with good flavors and standard flavor options. We got kids scoops of Huckleberry ice cream, we aren't really into fudge. The server was nice and swift. The place won't blow your socks off with flavor, but it's a good place for a cold treat. Lots of seating options too, which is nice. read more

We just arrived at Lava Hot Springs and my kids' face lit up when they saw so many pokestops here in this small town! Being a good mother, I don't let them roam around town alone, so I tagged along while they tried to catch pokemons, get the poke balls, and battle the gyms. After a while I got so thirsty and saw a cute little ice cream shop. I trotted in and was amazed at the ice cream selections! Oh, I felt so much better after having my ice cream that I can continue on with my sons quests to become a Pokemon expert, or whatever. read more

Good ice cream. Good coffee. Fair price. Staff is amazing! Nice and always intrested in and curtious with the customers. Aryana and Hally were the girls who got me my float and coffee and were super fun to talk to. read more

I love this place and the food/ice cream here but the girl that helped me was really rude and didn't have a good attitude or anything. She seems really impatient with the people. I think if she is working in a food place she needs to be good with customers and have a good attitude about working here. She has purple streaks in her hair. The other girl working with red hair, she didn't help me but just from watching her she had a way better attitude then the other girl. read more

Cute ice cream parlor on Main Street. The CUBE shaped ice cream scoop was the unique feature that drew me in at first glance, in addition to the various flavors. There was a long line and the service was slow, but the Huckleberry ice cream in a waffle cone was worth it. We also bought huckleberry jam because we love the local flavors so much! read more
