This is the final #Idahoicecreamsundaes post! Thanks so much for following along and hopefully eating a lot of ice cream with us. Our last post is about a fantastic shop in Stanley.

Stanley, ID is “Gateway to the Sawtooth Mountains” and home to Stanley Scoops, a cute little ice cream shop just off of Highway 21 on Wall St. Stanley Scoops has some charming locals running the shop, and they’ll be glad to scoop you up a classic Idahoan huckleberry cone as you head over to the majestic Sawtooth Mountains for a hike or some mountain biking!

But ice cream isn’t all they’re dishin’ out! Don’t miss out on their other yummy treats like cookies, cupcakes, and milkshakes.

I’ve been camping in the Swan Valley area ever since I was a kid. One of my favorite memories of this time was stopping by Rainey Creek to get square ice cream. It was the first SQUARE ice cream I’d ever had and there was definitely something special about it.

This is still a tradition for me, and I love to stop by and get a waffle cone when I am in the area.

They have many different flavors from Huckleberry Cheesecake, Caramel Caribou, Moose Tracks, and one of my favorites Lime Rickey. I fully recommend getting your choice in a waffle cone. They put whoppers in the bottom of the cones which is such a delicious surprise!

Week 2 of #IdahoIceCreamSundaes! I’m very excited to tell you about this wonderful ice cream shop.

Forty miles outside of Boise is the quaint little town of Idaho City (‘city’ being a misnomer). Idaho City is surround by national forest and beautiful mountain scenery and within the town is the cutest ice cream and gift shop called Sarsaparilla.

Sarsaparilla scoops up to five flavors on a cone, and they make their waffle cones in house! They’ll also mix you up a milkshake, or you can order a deliciously rich brownie sundae topped with hot fudge and peanut butter. There are around 16 different flavors of ice cream to choose from, including maple nut, butter pecan, cotton candy, and (my personal favorite) black licorice. You’re welcome to sample any of the flavors before you buy, but it’s going to be a tough choice! It’s the perfect treat to enjoy on their spacious front porch on a sunny summer day!

I got to mark “ice cream shop” off my Idaho Falls downtown wish list this last week.

We have a local ice cream shop now! I am so excited. Downtown is the perfect place for an ice cream shop, and I can’t wait to add Pop’s to all of my summer time routines.

Rating: (on a 0-5 scale, 0 not so great-5 Poppin’)

Over-all Tastiness: 5

Atmosphere: 5

Experience: 5

Taste

Pop’s offers a wide spectrum of flavors, so whether you want to play it safe with a classic flavor (rocky road/ bubblegum) or try something new you can find something that you’ll enjoy. They also have Italian ices that will satisfy your cravings and are dairy-free and vegan-friendly.

When I was there I tried the Lime Rickey (one of my favorites)! It was perfect.

Atmosphere

Pop’s has a really sweet retro vibe to it. The first thing you notice is the bright pink walls. It’s very fun, and the black and white photos are a great touch providing some nostalgia.

Experience

Absolutely wonderful. The owners, Jennifer and Steve, are very friendly and helpful. They also own Idaho Escape Rooms (check out my review) downtown. Which would be a perfect activity to pair with your ice cream.

Couple of new Pop’s fans

I’m very happy to have this great new addition to Idaho Falls. Be sure to check it out on your next bike ride or visit to downtown!
