If the kids have asked for ice cream before you’ve finished lunch, Boulder City gives you a choice: stay on Nevada Way for a candy-shop stop, or head to Chilly Jilly’z for frozen custard and Dole soft serve. Pick the stop that suits what everyone wants to eat, especially if you’re already walking downtown.
- Grandma Daisy’s is at 530 Nevada Way, with ice cream, old-fashioned malts and caramel apples.
- Chilly Jilly’z is at 1680 Boulder City Parkway, with chocolate and vanilla custard plus Blue Bell scoops.
- For a non-dairy frozen dessert, Chilly Jilly’z has Dole soft serve.
Where can you get ice cream downtown?
Grandma Daisy’s Candy & Ice Cream Parlor is the choice for a family already on Nevada Way. Its address is 530 Nevada Way, and the treats include old-fashioned malts and caramel apples. That gives the person who wants something other than ice cream a reason to come along.
A candy shop makes sense when dessert is one stop on a downtown walk. You can leave the car where it is and let everyone choose a treat before continuing along Nevada Way. The Boulder City visitor bureau’s Grandma Daisy’s listing has the location and shop details.
Where can you get frozen custard in Boulder City?
Chilly Jilly’z serves chocolate and vanilla frozen custard at 1680 Boulder City Parkway. You can order it in a cup or cone, or have it in a shake. Blue Bell hand-dipped ice cream is another choice, so a family can order scoops and custard at the same stop.
For lunch before dessert, Chilly Jilly’z also serves burgers and sandwiches. The frozen dessert menu has shakes and malts, too. A cup of custard suits someone who wants a spoon; a shake gives you something to sip.
Is there a non-dairy frozen treat?
Chilly Jilly’z serves non-dairy Dole soft serve as well as frozen custard. The pineapple Dole float combines pineapple soft serve with pineapple juice and comes topped with whipped cream and a cherry. Choose the soft serve on its own if you want the non-dairy dessert.
If you’re choosing lunch as well, our Boulder City restaurant guide has more places to eat. For dessert alone, stay downtown for Grandma Daisy’s if you’re enjoying a walk; choose Chilly Jilly’z when someone specifically wants custard or Dole soft serve.
