Burgeoning Boise, the best-kept secret in the Pacific Northwest

In a city with a row of downtown restaurants that source locally and boast picture-perfect patios, plus three new taco eateries, two acclaimed hotel restaurants and a slew of specialty food shops, there is one place where you might have to wait in line. It serves two things: ice cream and alcohol.
"I don’t think we could’ve possibly imagined how popular of a destination we would be so quickly," says Kasey Allen, owner of The STIL, which opened in July 2017. "It started off with just ice cream. We wanted to make really good, high-quality – as many local ingredients as we could use – ice cream."
Then he and business partner Dan Sell, who learned to make ice cream after coming up with the concept while working in the tech industry, added beer and wine to help the business survive the winter.
