Stella’s Ice Cream was born from a passion for dessert. Our founders, Chad and Brittney Hartley had a dream to own their own store where friends and family could come and eat premium homemade ice cream and baked goods, enjoy local entertainment, and where local dessert artists could share their talents. Today, we’re proud to be the major dessert provider in the Treasure Valley with 4 corporate locations, all proudly named after the loyal family bulldog Stella.

At Stella’s, we strive to serve joy with every scoop. We believe that ice cream has the power to make the world a little sweeter. At our stores, we are committed to celebrating differences, crafting new creations, and making ice cream that is simply better. From our stores to custom cakes, event carts to ice cream pies, ice cream trucks to restaurant outreach, custom recipes to party boxes, Stella’s has many clear avenues for growth and profit.
