  Would give 4.5 if half stars were a thing. Really only subtracting a star because one of the people behind the counter seemed like they did not want to be dealing with customers. The other person there was great though! I was drawn in by the array of unique flavors and vegan options. I had really wanted to get something boozy and vegan, but they only had one flavor on at the moment that fit the bill and I wasn’t particularly interested, so I sampled a few of the dairy boozy flavors and went with a vegan non-boozy ice cream for my actual order because a full scoop of dairy ice cream does not sit right in my stomach. I liked the boozy flavors more but that was only because of the flavors offered - the vegan ice cream itself was great, very smooth and creamy, not overly sugary. I got the float season vegan ice cream: blackberry ice cream with salted dark chocolate. I did still enjoy this flavor a lot. I really liked the crunchy bittersweet dark chocolate bits. I didn’t get anything to drink but I was kind of tempted. The ice cream + beer or wine flights looked interesting. I don’t know wine well enough to comment, but it looked like they had a good selection of beer with quality brewers and a good variety of beer types. This is technically a Warehouse Food Hall vendor but it’s only accessible from the street outside the food hall. I wasted a few minutes wandering around the food hall trying to find it before I looked outside. They have a fair amount of seating inside and outside.

  This place is amazing! I visited once a year or two ago and recommended it to anyone visiting since. When I came back today I remembered exactly why it was so great! I tried three different ice-creams and they were all spectacular! They have so many different flavors for different tastes. The customer service was fantastic, the atmosphere is cozy and fun, and the prices are reasonable too! 10/10 Would come here again :)

  If you compile data on the highest-rated ice cream stores across the United States, the STIL (Sweetest Things In Life) in Boise is ranked an impressive 11th overall! Now, theoretically it should be unforgettable ice cream with those ratings! But locals in Boise seem to overrate their eateries, and unfortunately STIL is no exception. Despite an average customer rating of 4.77 on all platforms, the ice cream is shockingly mediocre. It doesn't even compare to decent store-bought brands, much less the life-changing creameries throughout America's top 20. Some of the flavors are creative, and of course ice cream is always good. But the ratings for STIL are way overblown!

  I was guided to this ice cream shop by a local, and I just wanted to say "Thank you" random local person. I went solo the first trip. When my wife found out I went on my own, she informed me that it was already on her well-researched pre-trip list (so, we went again together). ANYWAY, this place was great. For my first trip, I had the Marky Mark and the Funky Crunch, the Bake Sale, and the Fresh Powder...all in one cup. Awesomeness. I forgot to note what I got the second time and what is pictured below, but just know that it is ALL good. Even if I said the ice cream was subpar, which I wouldn't, and it wasn't, they had two things that would make them a five regardless. One, their clever flavor combinations. You don't have to worry about going in and choosing between vanilla and chocolate. They live off the beaten path in their creations. Actually, the toughest and most fun part of the process was picking the flavors that would merge well together. Two, I am not sure if they selectively hired energetic kids behind the counter, or if working at the place just made normal kids more awesome, but we were greeted with curiosity, energy, and efficiency each of my times there. They could just go through the motions with their part-time job, but they actually elevated the whole experience. We loved our two visits here, I highly recommend this place, and see you there (the next time we are in Boise)...
