Why locals love us

Why Locals Love Mrs. Cavanaugh's

Mrs. Cavanaugh's has operated in Bountiful since the 1970s, building on a family chocolate business that began in 1964. Today, the Bountiful store serves premium ice cream, handcrafted chocolates, and other sweet treats, giving visitors more variety than a typical ice cream shop.

The menu includes classic flavors like Cookie Dough alongside signature creations featuring Mrs. Cavanaugh's own chocolate. Every scoop reflects the same commitment to quality ingredients that has defined the company for more than 60 years, with recipes and traditions passed down through generations.

More than ice cream

More Than Just Ice Cream

The Bountiful location is part of Mrs. Cavanaugh's history as the first main retail location established after the company moved from South Dakota. The store originally operated out of the family home, with manufacturing and retail sales taking place in the buildings behind it.

Today, guests can visit this historic location to enjoy handcrafted chocolates, premium ice cream, and family recipes shared for generations. Beyond the ice cream counter, the store offers caramel apples, fudge, gift boxes, cookies, and seasonal treats.

Made in Utah

Premium Homemade Ice Cream Made in Utah

Mrs. Cavanaugh's homemade ice cream is made locally at the company's Utah factory and served at all retail locations. Unlike many commercial ice creams that use lower-fat milk and fast whipping methods, Mrs. Cavanaugh's uses a premium blend with rich, high-quality cream and a slower whipping process to create a thicker, smoother, and creamier texture.

Each batch starts with a premium ice cream base before adding Mrs. Cavanaugh's own flavorings and handcrafted chocolates. The result is a rich dessert experience that pairs perfectly with the company's famous chocolates. The ice cream is made by Jeni Wall, who works alongside the Cavanaugh family and helps maintain the same quality customers have enjoyed for generations.
