Old Trail Ice Cream Parlour — Restaurant in Choteau

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Sweet Stop I’ll Never Forget

While driving from Alberta, Canada to Idaho, I passed through a beautiful little town that completely surprised me in the best way. The town itself was peaceful and full of charm, but what really made it unforgettable was a small ice cream shop I stumbled into. From the moment we walked in, the two young ladies working there greeted us with such kindness and genuine smiles it felt like visiting old friends. They clearly take pride in what they do, and it shows. The ice cream? Absolutely delicious. You can tell it’s made with care. Rich, creamy, and full of real flavor not artificial or overly sweet. It reminded me of the kind of ice cream I had as a kid authentic and comforting. Although I’m Muslim and my wife and kids are wears a hijab, we were treated with nothing but respect and warmth. I’ve heard people say that Montana is racist or Islamophobic, but that was completely wrong in our experience. The people in this town were kind, welcoming, and made us feel at home. This was more than just a snack stop it was a moment of joy and connection on a long road trip. The combination of great people, excellent ice cream, and a welcoming town left a mark on me. This place is now officially on my bucket list, and I’ll definitely be coming back. If you’re ever passing through don’t miss this...

While on vacation, we mostly ate from the cooler we packed with one exception - Ice Cream. We found ourselves in Choteau at 3pm our self determined ice cream time and HAD to stop. I got my final serving of huckleberry ice cream before driving too far from the mountains with a side of rocky road. Was that subliminal from all the road construction we encountered during our 3,000 mile tour? One thing you should know before stopping is they only accept cash or local checks. Considering how high credit card fees can get, it's a smart move for a business that would have lots of small transactions. Not paying those fees also results in better value for the customer. You probably won't notice but 9 days in a row of ice cream and we were...

A cute little old style ice cream shop that is the perfect place to stop off at on a hot day! Located just next to the Visitor Center, there is plenty of parking.

Inside there are a number of delicious flavours for a good price. The waffle cones are my personal favourite.

The 2 ladies working here are proud to know that they are supplying the town with the "Best Ice-cream in town!"

Stop in and...
