Bringing the Scoop to Your Party

Bringing the Scoop to Your Party: Meet Spokane Swirl, the Local Sister-Owned Soft Serve Rental

If you’ve ever hosted a summer party, graduation bash, or backyard wedding, you know the struggle: keeping guests entertained and fed while trying to actually enjoy your own event. Enter Spokane Swirl—a locally owned soft serve ice cream machine rental service that’s bringing full-service, nostalgic ice cream shop vibes straight to Spokane backyards and venues.

From Baskin-Robbins to Business Owners

Spokane Swirl was founded by two local sisters whose love for ice cream started back in high school while working at Baskin-Robbins. They quickly realized that a scoop of ice cream didn’t just satisfy a sweet tooth—it put an instant smile on people’s faces.

Driven by a passion for hosting memorable gatherings, the duo launched Spokane Swirl to give party hosts in the Inland Northwest an easy, high-impact way to level up their event catering.

“We fell in love with ice cream and the smiles a single cup could induce. Hosting amazing parties for friends and family is our passion, and we want to help you do the exact same thing.”

How It Works: Turnkey Soft Serve Catering

Instead of dealing with melting ice cream tubs or complicated dessert tables, Spokane Swirl delivers commercial-grade, dual-spout “twist” soft serve machines directly to your venue.

Here is what you need to know about the service:

  • Dual-Flavor Twist Machines: Serve classic chocolate, smooth vanilla, or the crowd-favorite chocolate-vanilla swirl.

  • Creative Customization: Hosting a high school or college graduation? Spokane Swirl suggests putting vanilla in both sides of the hopper and adding custom food coloring so your guests can swirl their school colors.

  • Real Dairy Quality: Rentals come with real dairy soft serve mix supplied in half-gallon cartons ($10 each, providing roughly 15 medium cups or cones).

  • Hands-Off Delivery & Setup: The team handles delivery, setup, and teardown. Every machine arrives 45 minutes prior to your event on a skirted, heavy-duty mobile cart with extension cords included—all you need to provide is a flat surface and a power outlet.

Simple, Transparent Pricing

Planning event budgets can be tricky, but Spokane Swirl keeps their package costs straightforward:

Perfect For Any Inland Northwest Gathering

Whether you are organizing a neighborhood block party, an employee appreciation lunch, a birthday party, or a summer wedding, soft serve is an instant crowd-pleaser for guests of all ages. Pair the machine with a self-serve topping bar—think sprinkles, hot fudge, crushed cookies, and cherries—and you’ve got an interactive dessert station that runs itself.
