Unique flavor ice cream made the old fashioned way. Made right behind the shop in a true ice bath churn, the ice cream was going out as fast as people could order. Truly a local business worth stopping for.

This was a pretty disappointing ice cream. The texture was icy instead of creamy. The flavor was off, too. The service was good, though.

I'm an Idaho gal and love myself a good huckleberry ice cream 💜 the Huckleberry lavender honey ice cream, handmade in-house, is the BEST huckleberry ice cream I've ever had — and I grew up eating Reed's Dairy! It has real whole huckleberries in it, not just the flavor additive! I HIGHLY recommend stopping here to give it a try!
