Summer is here, and one of the best treats to enjoy during the hottest time of the year is, of course, ice cream. There are many ways to eat it. You can buy a carton at the store, get something from the ice cream man, get popsicles, or get some from one of the many ice cream shops in the Gem State. There are national chains and local stores to choose from and no place is equal. Some places have different flavors, have different creations, and some ice cream is smooth, some stretchy, and some a little harder. One popular ice cream shop in Idaho has recently changed its hours and you may not be aware if you haven't stopped by recently.

Cloverleaf Creamery in Buhl is a hidden gem that most locals are aware of but tourists may not know about. While many locals say it is the best ice cream around, even those who have lived elsewhere would agree that it is tough to find better ice cream anywhere in the country. It is smooth and stretchy, with a variety to choose from and large portions to satisfy your ice cream needs. It is freshly made just outside of Buhl, with the main store in town and another location on Main Street in Twin Falls. If you can't get enough, make sure to take a carton home. The only complaint I have ever heard about Cloverleaf is that they close too early, which typically is at 6 PM. They have decided to change their hours recently and guests will be excited about this change.

Cloverleaf has decided to alter its hours, but before you get too excited, it will only be for the summer season, but it still has customers excited. For the remainder of June, they have extended their hours until 8 PM on Friday and Saturday, and once the calendar flips to July they will be open until 8 PM every night. This will last until around the time school starts back up, in which case they will return to their normal 6 PM closing time. This is great news though as many like to be out on the water in the day, have baseball games to attend with their children, or have yard work to do and often can't make it to the store before 6 PM. This will allow residents and customers to go after dinner or a busy day, to enjoy a cold cup or cone to end the day.

The Ice Cream Potato

If you're also new to the Treasure Valley, let me introduce you to the Ice Cream Potato. They do an amazing job of making it look like an actual potato but it's actually vanilla ice cream covers in cocoa, which gives it that potato look!
