Sarsaparilla Ice Cream Parlor, Gift Shop & Suites

Too darn expensive!

I visited Sasparilla today and found the ice cream to be excellent; however, the service was less than satisfactory. The staff member appeared to give me unwelcoming looks, which made the experience uncomfortable.

We took a scenic drive out to Idaho City as a break from our visit to St. Lukes in Boise for my wife's cancer treatment. This ice cream parlor was the icing on the cake for a great day of exploring local history. They have a nice covered patio where you can sit and enjoy your chosen flavors. We had huckleberry and pistachio almond. It's definitely worth the trip!

The huckleberry ice cream is amazing. Stop and try it if you never have had it. And even if you have! The staff was friendly. Cute place.

Great owners and great employees. Recently stopped here with the wife and kids when we went camping. We made a 15-mile drive into town just for some ice cream, and man, was it worth it.

Really delicious ice cream. Some of the best we've had! We loved the espresso milkshake with a double shot.

Best ice cream

I don’t leave 5 star reviews for coffee in general. Most places just don’t do the job. Chains have ruined most folks’ gauge for what truly great coffee is. I got an espresso milkshake because I avoid espresso based drinks, and after one sip I knew the latte my wife was waiting for was going to be great, and boy was I right.

This will be a must stop for us every time we come up. Nothing in the Treasure Valley, or even most of the country that I’ve travelled comes close. Simply put, it’s one of the best places I’ve been ever. We take coffee very seriously in my house, and clearly these folks do to. Wow….

Fun place to stop. I wish they had more adult flavors and less kid flavor choices for ice cream.
