Really enjoyed our visit here! The ice cream was delicious, and the woman working at the shop was super sweet—she offered us samples and took the time to explain their famous Fireweed flavor. It had a mild, unique taste and we could see why it’s a local favorite—we liked it too!
Definitely recommend trying both the Fireweed and Northern Lights flavors. Great spot with great vibes!

Do. Not. Miss. Shirley’s!! Like all Americans, we’ve had far more ice cream than is fair… Shirley’s home made is fantastic. Soft. Creamy. Unique flavors. To be locals, we had the Northern Lights and Fireweed, both were delicious (two scoops for $8.99).
You can also buy espresso, local honey, smoked salmon, cookies and other baked goods. But. Try the ice cream. If you are around, go back for seconds. Sadly we could not.

We stopped by Shirley’s for some ice cream while wandering through downtown Talkeetna. The blueberry & fireweed ice cream were delicious! We had to try the local flavor that Shirley is famous for and even got to meet her while we were there. The fireweed ice cream was bright pink and had a honey flavor. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in town.

This is our first time trying their homemade ice-cream unfortunately they used food coloring for my vanilla w/ rasberries flavor. It tasted good but it was not worth $10 for my ice-cream especially not with the real fruit flavor. They should mention to their customers that what they use in the ingredient.

Scoops are very generous, I had the fireweed ice cream and my husband had the cookies and cream. There is a nice area to sit and people watch while you enjoy a cold treat

Really enjoyed the iconic fireweed ice cream and I had the honor of being served it by Ms. Shirley herself! They offer classic and unique flavors, and are happy to let you try a sample before committing to a whole cone. The ice cream is very high quality and they do NOT skimp! When they say one scoop it is more like a large cone from the big ice cream chains, you will not be disappointed!

Stopped by for a quick dessert after this place caught my eye while walking down the main street in Talkeetna. There were quite a few people sitting down at the tables, but was able to walk up and place my order. There were a few unique flavors, so wanted to taste them instead of the usual flavors. They do let you sample them so be sure to ask if you’re unsure.
Ordered a scoop of the Fireweed in a cup and the Northern Lights in a cone. Both flavors had the same consistency and were very soft & creamy. They were sweet, but not overwhelmingly sweet. I personally preferred the single flavor of the Fireweed, but both were good. Tables were clearing quickly, so was able to grab and seat and enjoy the ice cream. Worth a stop to taste the local ice cream flavors and relax from shopping in Talkeetna.

It was a REALLY big portion of ice cream (pictured is the one scoop) but the flavors I’ve got (fire weed and huckleberry cheesecake) tasted very similar where we expected to taste a significant difference- that of course is subjective
Overall the portions are huge, service was friendly and (long) line was moving fairly fast

Had to try some ice cream since Alaska consumes so much and is known for it. I ended up getting the cookies and cream and it was outstanding and full of flavor. They had some unique flavors as well but I stuck with the one I know.

Great handmade ice cream! Just a hole in the wall on the only real street in Talkeetna. Shirley has some unusual flavors. She makes the ice cream herself.
It’s the only stop worth making on the street.
She’s as sweet as her ice cream too!
