The Story
The sweet scent of vanilla and cherry filled the air inside Sarsaparilla Ice Cream Parlor, a genuine slice of yesteryear right on Montgomery Street. Each scoop of creamy delight tasted like a cherished summer afternoon, served up with a smile that felt as old-fashioned and comforting as the parlor itself. From the cheerful, striped awnings to the delightful array of old-timey candies and gifts, it's a perfect Idaho City stop for a joyful treat and a step back in time.

Was visiting our Idaho family from California and went up to Idaho City for some hiking. This ice cream shop is adorable and delicious. Loved their Salted Caramel! Super fun vibe, very friendly staff. The whole town is great. I highly recommend stopping here.

I mean really, just try to act like you’re trying. Great place if you’re on a diet and like spending top dollar for less scoops.

Cute little place to stop for ice cream on a warm day. I ordered the single chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream, my husband the huckleberry in a waffle cone, and our daughter the strawberry shortcake in a bowl. All of it was yummy. I know cause I tried them all.

We’ve been coming to this ice cream spot over the years but visited recently and it was not the same experience. We ordered a double scoop that used to be a full cup and more but got a couple of tablespoons of ice cream that didn’t even fill the cup. The staff claimed they had no more huckleberry ice cream and had a whole brand new canister in the freezer. We are saddened about the poor quality of proportions and staffing.
