Ice cream chain with California roots closes Eagle shop. Boise brand scoops it up
Just before the weather truly warms up, an ice cream destination in Eagle has closed.
But not for long.
Negranti Creamery + Coffee, 101 E. Riverside Drive, recently shuttered. The Idaho presence for the chain, founded in California, has shrunk to a single location.
Good news, though. A Boise-based ice cream brand has scooped up the defunct Eagle shop.
The STIL has taken over Negranti’s former spot, co-owner Kasey Allen said, with the hope being to open in May. It will be a joint effort with local Bumble Coffee Co., he added.
Coffee and ice cream seemed to be a good strategy for Negranti, Allen said. So bringing in Bumble made sense. “We wanted to partner with someone who actually knows how to run a coffee spot.”
Beer will be on the menu, too, eventually. The STIL is known for pairing beer and wine with its ice cream. But that might take a few months to launch at the new shop because of permitting, Allen said.
Much of the former Negranti staff will be kept on at The STIL. “We don’t have a ton to do,” Allen said. “It’s already built out as an ice cream shop. A few brand updates, signage and training staff in kind of how we do things, then we’ll be ready to rock as soon as we can.”
This will be the seventh location for The STIL — an acronym for “The Sweetest Things in Life” — all in the Treasure Valley. (Or sixth location, if you don’t count a smaller Boise store branded as The STILetto.)
Negranti Creamery has one remaining Gem State scoop shop — in Garden City at The Boardwalk Apartments. There are four others in California and one in Arizona, according to its website.
Negranti is “the only creamery in America dedicated to sheep milk products,” it says, with a dairy “located in the beautiful hills of northeastern Oregon.”
