Snook's Candies and Ice Cream sits right in the heart of Historic Folsom, and it’s one of those places where you can actually bring your dog along while you eat. The shop has outdoor benches where you can sit with your dog and work through whatever flavor you’ve chosen—their ice cream rotates with seasonal options, and they make their own chocolates in-house, which is worth knowing about if you’re the type to appreciate that kind of thing.

The outdoor seating area gets decent sun, which is nice on cooler days but something to consider if it’s hot out. The staff is genuinely friendly and will sometimes point you toward nearby walks or mention if they have dog treats available that day. It’s the kind of place where they notice you came in with a dog and actually seem glad about it, rather than just tolerating it.

Since you’re already in Historic Folsom, you’re positioned well to explore. The American River Parkway runs nearby and has several entry points where you can walk your dog after getting your sugar fix. The parkway has shade, water access, and actual space to move around, so it works well if your dog needs to burn off energy or you just want to walk off some of that ice cream.

One thing worth knowing: their inventory and what they’re serving on any given day can vary, so if you’re set on a specific flavor or treat, it might be worth calling first. Summer months might mean they run out of popular items earlier in the day, and they do close seasonally or for private events sometimes. The location itself is walkable from other parts of Folsom if you want to make an afternoon of exploring the downtown area with your dog, hitting up the various shops and parks scattered through the neighborhood.
