Delsa's
Ice Cream
Welcome to Delsa's
There was a time in Boise's history when farms and wide open spaces were as common as heavy traffic is today. And it was then, in 1961, that Owen and Delsa Walton opened a tiny ice cream parlor in front of their farmhouse on Ustick Road, serving nothing but Mrs. Walton's homemade ice cream. Delsa's still stands by tradition, serving up homemade ice cream using Delsa Walton's Original Recipe from 1961.
Today, Delsa's is still operating out of the original parlor (with some additions made as the years went by) bringing you an unforgettable experience. We believe ice cream should be full of flavor and free of unnecessary ingredients, so we use fresh high-quality dairy and fresh fruit and produce from local farms. We feel our ice cream could possibly be the world's best so come taste it yourself!

Delsa's Ice Cream Parlour was originally a farmhouse, built in 1922, owned by Owen & Delsa Walton. Mrs. Walton made ice cream for all the neighborhood kids, and in 1961, due to the popularity of her ice cream, the Walton's decided add another building and open an official ice cream parlour. Customers back then could enjoy an ice cream cone on the patio while watching the Walton's cows mosey around their pasture.
Delsa's is now an iconic ice cream parlour that was once an 80 acre dairy. We make more than 130 flavors of premium ice cream on-site at our creamery. Our ice cream has won numerous awards over the years, including Treasure Valley's Best Local Ice Cream and Best In Idaho for USA Today's Top 50 Ice Cream Parlors.
We believe ice cream should be full of flavor and free of unnecessary ingredients. When you come to Delsa's you'll surely enjoy the experience and build a family memory. We invite you to come to our old fashioned ice cream parlour and take a step back in time, where things were simple.
