Welcome back to our today.
You know the sweetest things in life
or otherwise known as the still is
one of the most beloved ice cream
stores in the entire state of Idaho.
Even winning best in the state by
food in the by the Food magazine and
coming up, they'll actually be celebrating
their 5th anniversary in the Triage Valley.
So today we're actually joined by Casey
Allen from the still because we're
all excited about ice cream, right?
I mean, this is such a great deal.
You guys have been around for five
years in your downtown Boise location.
Very beloved. How excited are you?
Yeah, we're really.
Excited, it's hard to believe that
it's been five years already and in
some ways and and in other ways,
it seems like we've been around longer.
So I know this is like a weird dichotomy,
but we're so excited to be celebrating
five years downtown Boise and just
really excited to kind of bring the
community in and celebrate five years
and great time of year for ice cream.
Great weekend.
So Saturday the 16th is actually
our our anniversary.
Our five year anniversary and Sunday
right after it is national Ice Cream Day.
So kind of just works out.
Perfectly yeah
yeah. Love it, you know I,
I like how you mentioned you know
it's an interesting dichotomy
because you're like you're like,
oh man, time has flown what's
already been five years.
But also like wow,
it's just it's so comfortable and
the still is so familiar it feels
like you've been here forever, right?
And I think that that's just
a great reflection of what an
amazing fit this still is for
the culture of voicing of Idaho.
Let's talk about the downtown
location because over the past five
years there's been a little bit of
changes when it comes to that spot.
Yeah, a lot of changes, so you know.
The warehouse the Food Hall that's kind
of been in the process of construction
over the past year is actually
opening tomorrow on Tuesday the 12th.
So yeah, so it's all kind of coming together
for this right week and the right weekend.
So yeah, they have redone.
Kind of the entire exterior of our building.
We've got an upgraded patio
with a great trellis.
Just a lot of outdoor seating,
a lot of activity in the area,
so definitely something to come.
Check out and see.
Kind of the changes that have happened on
that 8th and broad part of downtown Boise.
A lot of new food options.
Options of course.
We'll be selling ice cream and then beer
and wine and all the things that we do.
Celebrating five years.
We actually are going to have a
5 for five menu this weekend,
so five menu items for $5 for five
years away. Some really good deal.
Yeah,
some really good deals and ways to
kind of get get your still fixed.
Help us celebrate five years and kind
of our way to say thanks to everyone
for kind of welcoming us with open arms.
And you know,
just the great five years
that it's been for
us. Well,
one of my favorite ways to cool off.
This summer is to eat ice cream.
It's one of my weaknesses.
There's multiple things I love about this.
Still, not only do you have an amazing
arrangement of different flavors,
but you also care though to
certain needs like myself.
Like I'm I'm, you know,
lactose intolerant,
which can make eating ice cream challenge.
As you can imagine,
but you have many options,
and then you have so many
unique flavors as well.
Tell us about some of
that. Yeah, absolutely.
So we we do, we use a coconut cream base
for our dairy free and vegan options,
which is is really.
You know, really amazing, right?
And and people who you know can't
have dairy tend to always find
great options with our dairy free
stuff and and depend on the flavor.
It's kind of indistinguishable
from those cream based flavors,
so we love kind of getting creative
and unique with our flavors and just
creating these different combinations.
We've got the dairy free stuff.
Most of our flavors are gluten free as well.
And then we also have our alcohol infused,
which is something that we're well known
for. And that's where I was gonna go next.
Because along with the ice cream
blocking a nice frosty beverage
helps you cool off as well.
And when you have both,
you got the best of both worlds,
so tell us about your infused
and you also do pairings too.
Yeah, infusing pairings,
so we have a section of our ice
cream case that's 21 plus only,
so we infuse the the alcohol
directly into the ice cream.
So kind of just a boozy treat
is not necessarily going to
find a way to celebrate this.
Absolutely so for example,
we have a tequila lime Margarita right now,
which is dairy free.
So right up your alley win win and you know,
great. Summary flavor as well
as you know the pairing side,
so we use beer and wine and we do these
unique creative pairings with ice cream.
So if you love beer,
you love ice cream, but you've never
thought to combine them together.
We, you know,
help you out with that and and kind
of figure out what you're what you
like and and and try to deliver
something that is exciting and
unique and a little bit different.
I love that. OK, I think we've given
everyone a little taste or an idea of
what they can enjoy with your fifth year
anniversary this weekend, but tell us
about that special deal one more time.
Yeah, so it's gonna be 5 items for
$5 for our five year anniversary.
So single scoop in a waffle cone
off of gados. All of our floats,
draft beers and ice cream cookie
sandwiches are all going to be $5 all
weekend long at all of our locations.
So great deal and great way to
celebrate five years of the still
Casey. You just put a wrench
in my summer diet because now
I'm like, well, it's a deal.
I gotta go and it's your anniversary
so I've gotta go celebrate.
The downside of the ice cream.
Countries people feel like they
can drink coffee every day and
they don't feel bad about it.
But if you eat ice cream
every day, you might feel
bad about it. You know what ice cream
cones have a really high protein counts.
That's right that that's a benefit.
Alright, thank you so
much, Casey. Congratulations we're
so glad to have you on this reality.
