    Banana Split
    Jamie S.

    This location is a Boise classic, been here as long as I can remember! Simple drive thru and walk-up window with a few tables on the patio if you'd like to stay and eat. Classic American diner/fast food and pretty much a combination of soft serve you can imagine- dipped cones,milkshakes, banana split and many MANY toppings to choose from. Service is quick and friendly, ambience is "retro", and a really fun plan to grab some eats and treats!

    Oreo Coated Twist (Vanilla-Choco) cone
    Marc B.

    The Oreo Coated Twist Cone looked and tasted great! I got the small cone and it was still huge (see my night pic). I came expecting to get a Flavor Burst Cone, which are still advertised online. However, they're not on the in-person menu and the counter server said they no longer offer them (stopped a while ago). I was a little disappointed because the Cotton Candy Yelp pics looked unique, but I was still super pleased with what I got. Also, nice staff that took orders and delivered cones. ... And to Nick the Manager, i was at the State St Boise location.

    The service was a bit slow. The ambiance was great!!! The food was okay but the milkshakes were delicious!!! Overall 4/5

    S'mores shake

    Aiden & Byrne great customer service everything was on point amazing staff and equally the food is so good! Reasonably priced definitely coming back the s'more's shake wow don't believe the haters

    Swirl chocolate dip
    Ali B.

    Perfect way to end our trip to Boise! For some reason there are barely any soft serve spots in Phoenix, so I hop on any opportunity I can get to have some soft serve. My husband and I got extra small swirl cones dipped in chocolate. My husband wanted butterscotch but they were out. Was very reasonable price wise too and loved the retro feel. Very nostalgic!

    Advertised hot dog
    Pamela R.

    Ordered a basic hotdog that supposed to come with ketchup, mustard, and relish on the side. This is what their picture looks like on Door Dash. This is what I got!! Lesson learned! Trust me, when I work another flight here to Boise, I will NEVER order from this place again!!

    Boston shake
    Patricia C.

    A good ice cream to grab in a hot Summer although the parking is hard. They do have a drive-thru service. Friendly service. A bit disappointed the blast machine was down when we were there, but that gives us a good reason to come back again.

    My wife and I went to try this place after seeing it advertised on a local instagram page. Overall it was good and the food was fresh. Service was also great. I got the double cheeseburger with tots which they have labeled as "gems" on their menu. My wife got the bacon cheeseburger with the waffle fries and I should've gotten those instead cause they were good. Their buffalo ranch sauce is good. We also got the extra small cones with Oreos and they were big so I could imagine what the large looks like. Go check this place out when you're in the area.

    Only had a milkshake to go and it seemed like a solid choice. Thick and tasted great. Got a small which seemed plenty filling. I'll defer to other Yelpers to evaluate the food.

    Great place! Very nice food and drinks, great ambiance! Service was pretty good, no complaints.

    Dipped cones: peanut butter coating on the left and chocolate on the right.
    John S.

    I've never ordered regular food here, just ice cream cones. I grew up on Tastee-Freez, which invented soft-serve ice cream and may have dipped them first, too. That's my favorite at Fancy Freez: a twist cone dipped in chocolate. My only gripe is that they're not consistent in how they dip. A properly dipped cone has the ice cream sealed in the chocolate or other coating. That prevents the ice cream from dripping all over you. Sometimes, they get it right here and other times there are gaps which cause a mess as the ice cream melts.

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.

Today I stopped in for a gift card for a little client of mine. Might as well kill two birds with one stone and grab myself a little treat too. They had great options today. Wild berry, sweet cream, chocolate and another option that I can't seem to remember. Their dairy free option was caramel today. The wild better sounded devine. And you can't go wrong with chocolate! But, I'm trying to stay away from dairy so caramel was my choice today. I got myself a small caramel and a gift card. The gal that was helping me today wasn't rude but wasn't nice, she was just there. She asked me my basic questions. What size? What flavor? Any toppings? Anything else? It was such a different experience from the first time when I came in. The caramel flavor was good. It didn't really taste like caramel to me but it was still tasty. Considering there was no dairy in it, it was pretty impressive. I didn't add any fun toppings this time around but I'll have to add some next time! They have quite a few to pick from! Regardless of my interaction today with the gal working behind the counter today, I still adore this shop. I also appreciate that they push out such great frozen yogurt. I need to come more often before summer ends. I have let too many flavors slip through the cracks. And ice cream always adds happiness to my day. Looking forward to see that their next non dairy flavor will be!

I have checked their menu online before so I had a general idea of what kind of goodies they had. I was excited that I finally get to check out the place I drive by all week. I came in late afternoon so it was pretty chill. The gal behind the counter was helping someone in the drive thru window which gave me a minute to look over the menu. I also got to check out the venue while I was waiting. The little shop is so cute! I adore all the Valentines decor everywhere. After scoping out the joint, I headed back to check out the menu again. Everything on the menu looked tasty. Some of the soda combinations looked really good but I didn't know if some of the syrups they had were sugar free. So after the gal was done, I was able to get a couple questions answered. The only sugar free syrup they had was vanilla. Such a bummer since they have so many other flavors to accommodate their drink list. Doesn't give sugar free drinkers many drink options. So, I ordered a custom dirty soda of diet Dr. Pepper with sugar free vanilla and cream. I also ordered a kid's size of chocolate and vanilla swirl custard too. I am in awww at how much custard you get in a kid's size! You are truly getting your money's worth. My drink was wrapped up and I grabbed my goodies and made my way into the side room to enjoy my goodies. I had to sit in the side room to eat my treat. It was fun sitting next to the colorful wall. Whoever painted it did such a great job! My custard swirl was so good! It was creamy. Chocolate and vanilla will always be a winning combination. I ate about half and really wanted to take the rest home but I wasn't going home anytime soon. Sucked I was getting rid of it. I did take a sip of my dirty soda on my way out of the door. I didn't really taste any flavoring in it. I thought maybe the sweetness of the custard was still present on my taste buds so I waited to take another drink. My drink was disappointing. You can taste the cream in it. I don't know if the soda syrup was out but the Dr. Pepper taste was very light. I didn't really taste any of the sugar free vanilla. I did finish the soda cause I didn't want to waste it but I'll just stick to the frozen treats the next time I'm in. Happy I got to stop in today. The custard was so good! I can't wait till it gets hotter and can come here with my husband. Their shakes sound great and my husband is a sucker for a good milkshake. I have a feeling he's going to love this place. I am looking forward having the churro dessert with the custard on top time. That combination just sounds fantastic and it will be a must have the next time I'm in.
