The possibilities are endless, so how will you decide? Well, lucky for you, we are here to help! We compiled a list of our Top 5 favorite dessert shops to relieve that sweet tooth.
The STIL
The Sweetest Things in Life is the full name if you were wondering! The STIL is a fantastic ice cream parlor with various options, including non-dairy and vegan ones. But wait, it gets better – The STIL made this list because of their most popular option of booze-infused flavors! And they don’t stop their unique trend there; You can pair your favorite ice cream with a glass of wine or nice cold brewski to top it off – and so, you can’t go wrong if you stop by The STIL to get your sweet tooth on!
Mi Linda Michoacana
The sweet and salty treats are unique here and originate from Mexican culture. Do you like popsicles? Mi Linda Michoacana specializes in making a variety of unique flavors of paletas (popsicles) and ice cream. They offer milk-based paletas and ice cream, but if dairy upsets that tummy, don’t fret! They offer water-based flavors as well! This place landed a Top 5 spot for their famous, unmatched Mangonadas, Elote, Aguas Frescas (fresh fruit water), and other treats you can only find here! If you’re feeling adventurous and want to try something new, try Mi Linda Michoacana, you won’t be disappointed with anything you choose!

Donuts, ice cream, and coffee? THE TRIPLE THREAT. All three of my favorite things in one! What more can you ask?! Mojo’s Donuts is new to the Treasure Valley, and with an extravagant assortment of donuts and ice-cream flavors, I had to showcase them as one of our Top 5 favorites. If you can’t decide between a donut or ice cream, it’s A-OK because their specialty shakes include a donut garnish! Double the pleasure, double the fun. And since Coffee is clutch, they got you there too – whether you’re on the way to work or just finished a high-intensity cardio class and your energy meter is on empty, stop by Mojo’s to get your fix!
Sea Salt Creamery + Bakeshop
New to the Treasure Valley, Sea Salt Creamery and Bakeshop offers the best of both worlds with homemade creamy ice cream and freshly baked goods like cookies, cakes, and sweet treats. You will walk away satisfied, guaranteed! Did I mention their pies? YES, PIES! They have the best pies in town that you can pre-order to facilitate the Holiday season’s last-minute errand runs. But why did they really make it on this list? It was their unique ice cream flavors, for example, “Jammin’ Goat,” which is goat cheese with jam. Sounds interesting? You’ll have to check them out!
Goody’s Soda Fountain
Goody’s has been a local favorite in the Treasure Valley for decades. This is a place where people come to indulge in nostalgia. Another spot with many treats, from handmade candy, chocolates, and ice cream to the best caramel popcorn you’ll ever taste! You will not leave empty-handed when visiting Goody’s Soda Fountain!
