Great for Vegas locals to escape the city and for those traveling to Hoover Dam to get a taste of an old, small town!
We wanted some ice cream and an short escape from the hustle and bustle of Vegas. We put in ice cream and the typical chain spots popped up. But so did Grandma Daisy’s. We decided to drive the 30 minutes to Boulder City.
Boulder City has a nice small town vibe in the center. There are antique stores, pubs, pizza and ice cream!
We walked in and it has the old candy store/ice cream parlor vibe. They have hand scooped ice cream, old school candies, fudge, Candie apples, etc.
We only got the ice cream. They had about 10 flavors to choose from. You can get it in a cup, standard cone or waffle cone.
The price was amazing. We are a family of 5 and got 4 Double scoops and 1 single scoop. Our total was just over $20. Not many places you can get a treat for a family for $20.
The ice cream was fresh and flavorful. Seating in the store is small but they have outdoor seats as well. The girls at the register were nice and helpful.
We will definitely be back!
Delightful sweets, and lovely vibe.
I couldn't be happier with my peanut butter chocolate ice cream. Was please to see actual peanut butter inside, rather than just a flavored ice cream.
The selection of candies are amazing. Pleanty of candies that I thought were left in my childhood were available here.
Great place, and very pleased with my visit.
Cute little shop. Had a lot of good candy choices. Even older brands I had not seen in a while. Enjoyed some vanilla ice cream with caramel topping! Two scoops was more than enough!

We went on a Sunday evening. The young lady was alone, busy and the store was out of rootbeer, wafflecones, bananas, and a number of other items. I finally settled on pecan Carmel apple, which was stellar, btw. But I had gone in for ice-cream and they were "out" of a lot of items. This young lady could have also had at least 2 more folks on staff. We sat outside for an hour and she was slammed. Otherwise, great place to find nostalgic candies and trinkets.
