Sarsaparilla Ice Cream Parlor, Gift Shop & Suites

If you want what is easily the best ice cream in Idaho City, you better stop at Sarsaparilla! Between the classic and funky flavors, and the homemade waffle cones, you're bound to have a peak ice cream experience

The best ice cream shop in Boise County with the best family ownership team in town. Their love for our community is as awesome as the gourmet ice cream they offer.

Not sure how I’ve lived in Idaho my whole life and never stopped here while visiting Idaho City but we finally did yesterday and it was great! The place is adorable and very clean. The ice cream was delicious and the girl who was working yesterday with the awesome red nails (didn’t catch her name) was super nice! We will definitely be back!

A delicious find while exploring Idaho City. A smaller selection (~16 flavors/ incl sorbet, yogurt and regular ice cream). Only complaint was that two flavors our group wanted weren’t able to be scooped because they were too cold/hard and flavor cards weren’t always posted.

Great place! The workers are always friendly and the ice cream is always good. If you go, you'll have to try the huckleberry ice cream.

Oh my goodness, they really have the best ice cream. I had the huckleberry with waffle cone. Just delicious and at the right price

Very good service and generous portions.
The ice cream was awesome.

Really fun flavor options, good portions, quality ice cream. Lovely patio to sit out on as well! A nice respite on a road trip.

Small but wonderful ice cream shop in Idaho City, Idaho. Delicious ice cream choices and friendly staff

Awesome! Friendly people and great ice cream.

I always love to get anything chocolatey here. They always have a great selection and atmosphere

Good ice cream, try the malts you will be so happy u did. Fat boi status but life's short!

This place is fantastic! The sweetest people ever work here! Greatest, kindness experience ever. I haven't even met them, but I needed someone to come through on a gift delivered to my daughter from their business ordered from Arizona site unseen. They did such a great job, honest delivery, a sweet order of flowers, chocolates and balloons. They went above and beyond their scope and I couldn't be more appreciative! This place is hands down a class act and I can't wait to shop there in person when I come to visit. Thank you for being so amazing! You are a needed business!

A great place to take kids or to just go to get some quality ice cream. There is some fun mini golf in back and I enjoyed playing that with my family. Their ice cream is probably the best in town and they also make excellent sandwiches. I will definitely be going back again.

Always a go to when we come up. Absolutely loved it as a kid and still do.

Every time we go to Idaho City, we must come here. We love the ice cream in waffle cones made fresh here. The fudge is very good too. While eating the ice cream, check out the original gifts.

So good, even my dog enjoyed it! Good ice cream for a hot day 😄

We love going here when we visit Idaho City. The staff are very pleasant. The selection of ice creams, sweet treats, collectibles and quirky stuff really adds to the unique feel of the shop. They have great outdoor and indoor seating. We love visiting Idaho City and I highly recommend the sarsaparilla.

Great ice cream with a great selection of flavors. Also milkshakes (which I had - Huckleberry was the bomb), malts, floats, cones, cups and coffee options. Cool little spot.

This shop is a fun place to go. It's cozy and sells knick knacks, ice cream, and a variety of sodas. We come here every time we go to Idaho city because it exemplifies the ambiance of small town living. They also have screens up to protect the ice cream and food from any potential COVID infections. Overall, it's a fun shop with a a great feel.
