A cute little ice cream shop with friendly staff and delicious flavors. The person behind the counter was so patient when we asked to sample multiple flavors and seemed genuinely excited to tell us about their seasonal flavor (stars and stripes; cheesecake base with strawberry and blueberry swirls). I got 2 full scoops in a freshly made waffle cone (cones are made on premises and the employee was making them as we were eating). Both the huckleberry cheesecake and cookie dough were delicious and high quality. My friend got a split scoop, which is 2 half scoops, so she could try two flavors in a smaller size. They also do ice cream flights of 6 smaller scoops so you can try even more flavors at once. This place was a delightful treat after a full day of hiking in Glacier National Park!

Cute little ice cream shop with homemade ice cream. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Let us sample as many flavors as we’d like. Homemade waffle cones were a hit too. My only opinion is that the flavors personally lacked. Cookie dough seemed bland, along with cake batter & salted caramel. It was a little icy too and not so smooth. But all was well and the community they had was beautiful

This place is a hidden gem. If you haven't stopped in yet, you're missing out. The young staff behind the counter are always friendly, engaging, and genuinely seem to enjoy what they're doing, which makes every visit even better. The ice cream is consistently delicious, and the huckleberry is my go-to—it never disappoints. This has been a fantastic addition to the Columbia Falls food scene, and it's one of those local places I'm always happy to recommend.

Nice ice cream shop in Columbia Falls. The staff is really friendly and welcome me to try. As an asian, I think it’s a bit too sweet. However, the chocolate tastes good. The price is really reasonable.
