Let’s be honest… there are few things better than a great scoop of ice cream on a hot Idaho summer day.

Since July is National Ice Cream Month, I thought it’d be fun to spend the month highlighting some of my favorite local ice cream shops around the Treasure Valley. There are so many great places to choose from, but there was one that immediately came to mind for my first stop.

If you haven’t been to Spoonful Ice Cream yet… you are missing out.

Rich, Creamy… And Not Too Sweet

I’ve always believed great ice cream shouldn’t just be sweet... it should be packed with flavor.  That’s exactly what I love about Spoonful.

Their ice cream is incredibly rich and creamy, made with fresh ingredients, and somehow they strike that perfect balance where it’s flavorful without being overly sweet. You can actually taste the quality in every bite.

Whether you’re a fan of classic flavors or something a little more adventurous, it’s one of those places where it’s hard to make a bad choice.  Personally, I am obsessed with the Cherry Chip, Pistachio Cream and the Blackout Brownie!!

One Of The Best Happy Hours In The Treasure Valley

Here’s a little insider tip… Every day from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m., Spoonful offers half-off scoops during Happy Hour.  Seriously!  It’s one of the best deals you’ll find this summer, and it’s a perfect excuse to stop by after work, after dinner, or while you’re out running errands.

Great ice cream… for half the price? Count me in.

Why I Love Highlighting Local Businesses

One of my favorite parts about living in the Treasure Valley is discovering locally owned businesses that put so much care into what they do.

Places like Spoonful aren’t just serving dessert—they’re creating places where families gather after baseball games, friends catch up, and kids make memories that last a lifetime.

Those are the kinds of businesses I love supporting.
