Off the beaten path, but worth a visit. Built in a restored 1800s general store. Has country charm. Staff is very friendly and everything is super clean. Ice cream is from Reed's Dairy, which is always delicious. The fried pies are sooo good. They have both sweet and savory. My favorite was the gyro for savory. For dessert, we lived both the coconut nut cream and the lemon pies. Close to Rexburg and definitely worth the side trip to this great little place. read more

Sweet little hand pies? Yes, please! The White Sparrow Country Store brings both country chic and delicious, old fashioned hand pies (and Reed's Dairy ice cream!) As soon as we walked in, I fell in love with the decor. The exposed wood and white interior made me want to remodel my kitchen. I ordered a peach pie and my fiancé ordered the banana cream pie (it was the Easter special). The peach pie was good but could use a little extra sweetness, in my opinion. Thankfully, there was powdered sugar on the table - though, I probably should've went for some ice cream. My fiancé's banana cream pie was the opposite. Super sweet but equally delicious. Pre-warning for anyone with a nut allergy...the pies are fried in good ol' fashioned peanut oil. We'll be back soon! I have my eye on a Nutella and strawberry pie next. read more

My sweet grandma has been gushing about White Sparrow for months now, and a few weeks back we were finally able to plan a girls trip to visit and check out this Mecca of pie glory. We arrived on a Saturday around 2pm, well past the time I would expect a lunch rush, yet all parking along the storefront was taken, and they were still a-hoppin' with a line out the door! No worries in respect to parking as this is out in the country and you've got plenty of space along the street, but do beware of a long wait if they are busy. Our large group got in line and waited about ten minutes to order. Afterward, we tried to get two tables together, but seating inside is so limited we ended up with one table and all the seats at the (gorgeous marble) bar. Just an FYI if you've got a similarly large group. It may be advantageous to just take your order to go. While we waited, we meandered along the pantry-style shelves lining the dining area wall, spying all manner of candies, chocolates, cookies, and cute merch including teas and baseball caps. Next, we stepped into the actual shop in the adjoining room. They are definitely channeling some Magnolia vibes, and there ain't no shame in that. WS has basically done the same thing at a much smaller scale, taking an 1800's building and renovating it into a restaurant and gift shop. My favorite finds included mugs, candles, local soaps, sweet dish towels, and beautiful blankets. Also, the bathroom is not to be missed, which might be weird, but I adored it from the penny tile to the gold fixtures and luxe wallpaper. Now back to our visit, we ended up waiting 45 minutes for our group's orders to be delivered. After 55 minutes, mine and one of my sister's orders had not arrived, and everyone else in our party had been served. Upon inquiry, turns out WS had run out of receipt paper and as a result, our orders were somehow lost. They apologized profusely and made them in about ten minutes, but at that point we'd waited over an hour, which is just too much. WS is still relatively new, definitely working out the kinks, and I can be understanding, but it was a pretty big bummer. We didn't get to eat there as everyone was ready to go by then, so I ended up lugging my order back to my grandmas, then home across state lines. Reheated in the oven the pies were pretty good, but of course would have been better fresh. I did try the gyro pie in-house, and it was great. I especially enjoyed the melty feta. The strawberries and cream pie was also yummy. They are fried, which might blow your mind. Prior to White Sparrow, I certainly didn't know this was a thing. The shell is not as thick and flaky as a traditional pie crust, rather softer and more moist. They remind me of Russian piroski, and less like a traditional pie shell, but it is not necessarily a bad thing, just different. While prices for food are quite low at $3-$4 pies, and various combination meals around $10, the gift-y items are much higher, though the quality cannot be argued. They also have macarons, fancy flavored sodas, and coolers full of a variety of bottled soft drinks. There are also more sundry snacks like granola bars, chips, etc (different from the specialty ones previously mentioned). Employees here were all so so sweet and pleasant, even in the face of the unrelenting pastry demanding public. Even with the long wait I would have enjoyed the experience, as we had a great time shopping and checking the darling building out. Losing our orders, however, deflated the fun a bit. I would absolutely return, only on a weekday to lessen the wait and potential for error. Also, the pies are so perfectly packed in little paper sacks that they are easily taken home. Maybe you could even call and order ahead! read more

We have stopped here the last two years. I have to ask "where is the owner"? We have spent 1 1/2 hours waiting for the pies and ice cream etc completely unprepared for business. Not understaffed but unprepared would be my warning for other visitors. read more

Awesome ambiance, really unexpected elegance to the decor with lots of interesting details. Also, the food was very unique and the fried green tomatoes and sauce were Delicious! Definitely worth a stop! read more

These pies were great! I got the gyro pie and it was deeeelicious!! We also got the Nutella and strawberry pie which wasn't great because the strawberries are from a jar w/syrup and not fresh. Other than that this place is really cute and it was fun! Will def be back. Also... for those who are saying that the staff weren't wearing masks... this is THEIR business and no one is forcing you to go eat here. And if you're that worried about Covid, stay home read more

I had the coconut ice cream tonight it was amazing the store is really cute the 2 young girls working were sweet. I loved the gift shop bought something but wished they had more to choose from just a suggestion maybe look to find some local artist to display and sell their art and make a profit and help support a local artist or neighbor. read more

We tried the Rooster's Crow and Pizza My Heart and they were both great. I liked the home town atmosphere. I can't argue with hot, homemade food. The wait was a bit long but I would love to go back. read more

This is such a cute store and it's great to have a small country store nearby. I love the selection of southern fried pie and the Magnolia style of home decor. I wish there were more tables and chairs to sit in since it's a fun place to hang out at. Also, the line could be better outlined since it can get messy if there's a lot of people. (Ignore the person ranting about the masks. Each restaurant has its own rule in regard to mask-wearing.) read more

Such a cute lil store! The pies were delicious (Nutella Strawberry & Pizza) the ambiance was amazing- very rustic! The only issues i had were that the staff wasnt wearing masks, and the pies broke open, making for a hard eating experience. We had to use forks and knives. read more

White Sparrow Country Store - The Nutella Strawberry pie and the Farmer pie - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Rexburg, Idaho

Such a cute store plus delicious food! We went for a simple girls night escape and we're not disappointed. While our food cooked we browsed the store. It's rare to find somewhere you can still get penny candy. Lots of home decor for sale. I love the towels and stickers. Candles smelled so good, I'll be back for those. The food was divine. The squealer (pulled pork) was full of flavor but not spicy. And who doesn't want desserts! read more

There are places I would like to go back again because the food is awesome, the atmosphere is great and the staff is always friendly. This is one of them. The pies are crispy on the outside and hot in the inside. I got the Don't Go Bacon My Heart, sister-in-law got the Gyro, everyone else got the A Pizza My Heart. My wife also tried the strawberries and cream pie and I the peach pie. All pies are so good that we ordered a second round-- every single one of us. And there are 10 in our party! Definitely 5 + stars and definitely coming back before we leave back for Hawaii. Also, items in the "Cottage" are reasonably priced. Daughter got a cap that says "local." I guess that can pass in Hawaii, too! Also great are the Idaho Moonshine made of root beer, butterscotch, vanilla and cream. We also tried the Goodness Gracious made out of coke, huckleberry, black cherry and cream. Son tried Y'All Come Back Now made out of coke, cherry, and French Vanilla. All tasted good! read more

Cute little country store with good fried pies and ice cream as well as other "country-ish" products. They have raised the prices multiple times though in the last couple years so now they're quite expensive which is the only reason for the 3 stars. read more

if i could i would give this store zero stars, and very overhyped. The one bathroom was out of order and none of the tables were wiped down in the 30 mins i was in there. im not a covid nazi but regardless not wiping down tables after a family of 5 dripped their pies all over the tables and counters isn't for me fam. A friend I was with ordered the farmer's pie, but there must have been a miscommunication because she got a barf bag filled with soup. My boyfriend got the nutella pie and there was more filling dripping out than there was making it into his stomach. I got the pizza pie and it was just an overpriced hot pocket. all in all, the white sparrow needs to get priorities straight. are you a restaurant, a grocery store, or a crappy ikea? i don't even think they know but they should not be all of them. i do not respect you, Kiyomi read more

Great sweet and savory fried pies. The apple pie was delicious! The Don't Go Bacon My Heart with salsa and onions was great! I've been here numerous times, and the food is always fresh and hot and the staff is super nice. read more

The pies are out of this world. Three of us tried two savory and one sweet each. No complaints from any of us! They were also incredibly filling! read more

You have to go for a little drive but it is so worth it, just for the quaintness of this place. And their menu is well worth the drive. Happy smiling hard working people take good care of you. read more

Cute country store. We took family from out of town to try the hand pies. We had both the savory and sweet. They were delicious. The kids ordered seconds. We also tried ice cream and a speciality drink. Yummy! The staff was great. We will definitely be back! read more

No staff was wearing masks, not even pretending to wear masks and have them around their chins. No social distancing was put in place. Felt like I walked into 2019. read more

A friend of mine brought me here a few months ago and I promptly forgot the name of the place. I was so upset that I couldn't remember, because it was such a great experience and I've been wanting to go back! I was able to find it again today and am so glad. I had their gyro pie (honestly life-changing) and huckleberry ice cream. Friendly staff, delicious food, cute environment with the decor and everything, and overall a great experience. I'm not usually a pie eater but I love this place. Highly, highly recommend. read more

It's ok. Everything seemed very expensive. I was hoping to find something worth the price. Very long wait. Very uncomfortable as we were the only ones wearing masks. It was a small space with a lot of people packed in at time when Rexburg was one of the highest per capita infection rates in the nation. You would hope at least the staff would set an the expectation for meeting Covid guidelines. Overall it wasn't enough to draw me back even though we live near. I followed the renovation of it and really wanted to love it and be a regular. read more

I love little out of the way unique places...and this is definitely that. Didn't have a chance to try the pies this time around but will definitely head back next time we are in town. The ice cream was great! Love to see that it was so crowded! read more

This place is amazing! Savory and sweet pies are both delicious and cheap. Staff are wearing masks. Can't recommend enough.

I've been wanting to go here for a while, and my wife and I came for a quick date. I was super impressed! Not only were the pies amazing, but the staff was friendly and it had surprisingly great prices! My wife couldn't stop taking pictures, she said it was so cute. We are definitely coming again in the near future. read more

Big family. Went in to celebrate my eldest birthday with a pie and icecream. She ordered a pie, the rest of us ordered icecream. They waited 30 min before even making the icecream cones. Then they served those that came in after us before us (and I just mean icecream, people who ordered icecream after we did) . And our ice cream was being made by 1 person, so it took another 15 min to serve our whole group (that is when they actually started serving us). The icecream was so melted by the time my son got his that it broke through the waffle cone and he had no choice but to throw it away. It took a total of 45 min to serve 6 people icecream. Ridiculous! read more

Such a gem in this lovely community! The food is delicious! (My favorite is Nutella and raspberry fried pie!) The decor beautifully done. Charming treasures to buy at great prices. read more

the ice cream was amazing and the workers were very respectful the store was very sanitary and was very homely
