If you’re heading out toward Boulder City, Lake Mead, or Hoover Dam and want a casual local place to grab something good, Chilly Jilly’z Bakery & Café is one of those spots worth knowing about. Located at 1680 Boulder City Pkwy in Boulder City, NV 89005, Chilly Jilly’z has become a local favorite for comfort food, frozen treats, friendly service, and easygoing patio dining.
What I like about Chilly Jilly’z is that it feels like the kind of place that works for almost everyone. You can stop in for a burger, sandwich, salad, breakfast sandwich, smoothie, coffee, milkshake, frozen custard, or a Dole soft serve treat. It has that casual Boulder City feel where locals can grab lunch, travelers can take a break, and families can find something for everyone without overthinking it.
The menu is bigger than you might expect from a café, and that is part of the charm. Some popular items include the Spicy Homemade Hot Pastrami Burger, Angus Burger, Fish Sandwich, Spicy Hot Pastrami Reuben, Broaster Crispy Chicken Sandwich, Fire & Ice Salad, chicken tenders, and soft serve frozen desserts. They also offer homemade bakery items, real fruit smoothies, shakes, malts, coffee, tea, and frozen treats.
A few reasons Chilly Jilly’z stands out:

One of the fun things about Chilly Jilly’z is the frozen treat lineup. Their Dole soft serve, frozen custard, Blue Bell ice cream, shakes, malts, and floats make it an easy stop after a walk around Boulder City, a family day at Lake Mead, or a visit to Hoover Dam. In the summer, that alone is reason enough to pull in.
I also like how convenient they make ordering. Chilly Jilly’z offers pickup, delivery, walk-up windows, drive-thru service, and even curbside service if you call when you arrive. For busy families, road-trippers, workers grabbing lunch, or locals who just want something quick and reliable, that flexibility makes a big difference.
My take is this: Chilly Jilly’z is a true Boulder City local favorite for casual food, sweet treats, and friendly neighborhood service. Whether you’re coming from Henderson, visiting Lake Mead, passing through on the way to Hoover Dam, or just looking for a relaxed café with burgers, sandwiches, smoothies, and Dole Whip, this is an easy spot to support and enjoy…
