Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Food in Minneapolis

MN Nice Cream

★★★★☆ 4 (306) • $$

"The vibes, the staff and the ice cream for the lactose sensitive, were a hit when we visited MN Nice Cream. We ordered the Happy Camper Sundae and the Fancy Affogato. This soft serve is a tasty milk ice texture that brings you back to the old school soft serve days. I loved having a perfectly "burnt" marshmallow and the presentation was fun and light hearted. The affogato was to die for. I appreciated the strong pull of warm espresso with the creamy ice cream ( if it hadn't been 6p in the evening, I'd probably had 1 more). Great place for kiddos with good outdoor seating and space to play a little. Parking was a non issue."

"I really loved this place!! The workers are very polite, hardworking and fast paced with all of the orders coming in! Very busy in the summer!! Fills up fast inside the restaurant at busy lunch hours. I had to try the Blackberry Shake because I saw it on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives and YUM I'm not disappointed very unique shake flavor and tastes so light and refreshing and blended with fresh blackberries. Onion rings tasted great. The cheeseburger tasted great as well next time I will for sure get a double patty! Very retro looking and love the feel of it! Looking forward to the next time of coming here when we visit up North again!!"

Waffle Bar

"Photogenic Waffles [Minneapolis MN]While driving through Downtown Minneapolis we spotted this dessert place and pulled up in a small private parking lot. The interior is not very big with a few table seating. We ordered a Banana Cream Waffle, a Strawberry Whip Waffle (two separate because they didn't have a dessert that had both the strawberry and banana in one), we also got a PB Love Signature Bubble Waffle. We shared the desserts so we can have a little bit of everything. Delicious treats! I tried their specialty drink the Butterfly Lemonade (lemonade pea tea and lemon slice) simple yet refreshing! It came in a souvenir glass jar w/ twist top. The two gals behind the counter were quick and before we can say "waffles" our desserts were ready! Friendly and fast service! Satisfy that sweet tooth and head over to Waffle Bar! Instagram: @wafflebarmnReview #3183"

Waffles Bubble Tea

Sebastian Joe's

★★★★☆ 4.2 (199) • $$

"A local classic! This is THE spot in summer, especially with their new patio and lots of space to sit. I like to affectionally refer to them as Sebby J's - and if you haven't had a scoop of theirs yet, add it to your end of summer bucket list. Fresh, creamy ice cream with tons of toppings and flavors that often play off Twin Cuties spots and inside jokes (like the Nicollet Avenue Pothole).If you get the idea for a scoop on a perfect summer evening, be warned that others will have had this idea, too - this line gets pretty busy and can take a while to get through, and be sure to scope out a patio spot ahead of time. Prices are average if not slightly higher in comparison to other spots in the cuties, but the flavors are worth it! A Linden Hills favorite, perfect for after a dinner out."

Fletcher's Ice Cream & Cafe

★★★★★ 4.5 (173) • $

"I'm sitting at home with a serious case of "I Need Sweets! Now" I get my phone out and open the Yelp app...searching for delicious desserts near me. Fletchers pops up with RAVE reviews. Off with the pj's...and slip on my sweats...to Fletchers I go. Upon entering, the atmosphere is great. Clean. Bright. Fun art on the walls...and a display counter filled with the yummiest looking things to eat. But...I need to stay focused...cuz, I came specifically for the Fruitella Crunch. I ordered...The customer service is stellar awesome! I even got a chance to talk all things about delicious food with the owner, Jason. Now that I have found them, I'm bringing friends with me next time to share in the goodness."

"Such a cute little ice cream shop. I needed a sweet treat after voting and this was near my polling place. This small but mighty shop has some amazing and unique flavors. They allow you to sample. They site their sourcing on the menu which is nice. I had the mint chocolate chip and it was so good that I bought a pint to take home! Can't wait to go back and try other flavors."

Sonny's Ice Cream

★★★★☆ 4.2 (142) • $$

"Oh...such a cute ice cream shop...with so many flavors. Love the courtyard seating area outside! My friends and I enjoyed our visit and we loved sitting outside, listening to music. Most of us got a scoop of ice cream and one of us got iced coffee. Delicious, and a fun visit!"

Both times I've visited Minneapolis, I've been to Sebastian Joe's. It doesn't matter how cold it is outside, ice cream is life.Hubby and I have had the Nicollet Avenue Pothole and the Oreo. Both flavors were phenomenal! The Nicollet Avenue Pothole was rich and chocolatey with so many yummy mix ins. The Heath bar chunks, the fudge truffles and swirl - WOW. It's an unbelievable flavor! The Oreo isn't far behind. There are tons of Oreo cookies and cream throughout. One of the best Oreo ice creams I've had.I can't wait until next time!

Important note: this is a soft serve + fun toppings ice cream shop. It's not traditional ice cream.$: it's expensive. My husband and I paid $15-16 for 2. Could we have shared 1? Yes. Did we? No.Parking: a pain. It's near breweries and other businesses and there's no lot. So you'll likely drive around for a few minutes to street park if it's a busy summer night.Set up: Once you get into the building, you need to wait in line that wraps into the hallway of the building itself because the ice cream shop it's self is narrow. So after you wait to park you wait to get in, haha. Staff was nice! Shop was fun and colorful! If you don't prefer soft serve through, it's not worth the money. I've never hated it, just never loved it and don't feel the need to come back!

Have always heard such great things about this place, but don't find myself in Cloquet very often. Happened to be driving through and decided to stop. We also happened to stop on the last day of the season, so it was PACKED, but the line moved quickly and we didn't have to wait too long for our food.Lots to choose from. Got some onion rings and a butterscotch malt. Hubs tried a mushroom swiss burger and a raspberry shake. Everyting was excellent! Definitely would recommend a stop if you're in the area and it's in season.

*this is for the mall of america location* i ordered a medium jasmine milk tea with tapioca and it was $7.20. It tasted very average so i was kind of disappointed because the pictures online made it seem a lot more high quality in taste. I would recommend getting their ice cream over their boba. They've got a matcha series as well as smoothies and other specials! Overall rating: 8/10

The ice cream is good. The chocolate dipped cone is great. The poor kids working don't seem to have efficiency down. I think they need a better system for ordering and payment. The line backs up quickly. I had the salted caramel in a cone dipped in chocolate. The chocolate on the cone is excellent, the salted caramel flavor is so lite, it's hard to even taste.my husband had a Chocolate malt. It was delicious but the kid filled the cup to the VERY brim and handed it to me with malt dripping down the sides. I was dripping malt on the floor the whole way out. Messy but tasty. Will try other ice cream flavors next time because it seems maybe salted caramel isn't why people go there

Waffle Bar

★★★★☆ 4.4 (89)

"The Waffle Bar is not just your average waffle bar. The owner definitely takes care and prides himself in the flavors of his product. From the delicious creamy ice cream to the fresh baked cookies and freshly made waffles. The ingredients are nothing less than fresh. The flavors are definitely consistent. I have yet to taste any stale toppings so I congratulate the owner on doing that. It's hard to find somewhere that sells ice cream and it's toppings where it doesn't have either stale sprinkles or ice cream with freezer burn. Waffle Bar is definitely a fun family friendly place where there is something for everyone. Favs!#1 Cookieapolis with Vanilla ice cream! Highly recommended!Salty Unicorn S'mores MoreThai TeaNext trip we're definitely trying the Chick in a Cone! It looks delish!"

Two Scoops

★★★★★ 4.5 (75) • $

"We like this brand of ice cream. It's delicious and they have great flavor options. The ice cream was extremely soft. I get it sometimes happens to some flavors but it seemed as if the freezers needed to be turned up a bit or the heat down. The inside has very limited space to sit. It was a beautiful fall day and we enjoyed the outside tables available. Staff were not overly friendly or talkative to customers but more wanted to talk to each other but they did their jobs at the same time. It was $36 for 5 single cones/ dish."

Grand Ole Creamery

★★★★☆ 3.9 (98) • $$

"So happy to live so close to this gem of an ice creamery! I'd describe their ice cream as creamy, rich, and refreshing! It's not too heavy and I love how many great flavors they have to choose from. I also appreciate that you can get 2 big scoops for ~7 dollars and 5 mini scoops for 8 if you'd like to try a bunch of flavors! The place is tiny and doesn't have any tables that seat more than 4 on the patio, but it's such a close walk to the lake that you could absolutely sit by the water with a cone. Speaking of cones, they make theirs fresh and ofcourse the inside smells amazing because of it I understand why this place is a local staple"

Mavericks Pizza

★★★★☆ 4.1 (88) • $$

"4.499Best Za in St. Paul for meNo flop, not soggyMavericks is a must whenever I housesit in St. Paul. Not quite sure what their delivery radius is, but I would think if you are south of Grand, west of downtown, north of West Seventh and east of the River you are probably in the zone or close. I mention this because I have been in there once, and from what I recall, dining in is not an option.One bite, everybody knows the rules. 8.9. The crust is crisp throughout and not a soggy mess like some other places that are popular in town. The amount of cheese I am torn on. Some places in St. Paul are like all cheese on paper thin crust. The ratio at Mavericks is closer to right for my tastes, but could maybe use just a bit more cheese. The super cheesy pizzas are always super greasy, anyways. Minimal grease on Mavericks pie."

Big Dipper Creamery - Blaine

"Great local family owned ice cream shop that makes their ice cream and waffle cones in-house. They have 52 flavors to choose from, we tried the Pumpkin Cheesecake, Caramel Apple, & Chocolate Almond. They were all delicious, as were the cones. Staff is very friendly and helpful."

"The ice cream is fantastic!!! I had Yipee Skipee (peanut butter, caramel, chocolate covered pretzel bits). It was the best thing I have ever tasted!!! Several fun varieties. Single scoop "kids" cone is $4."

Dar's Double Scoop

★★★★★ 4.7 (41) • $

"Dar's Double Scoop is probably one of the best ice cream shops in my opinion. The price, quality, quantity, and the fact it's locally owned. All the things that makes it a wonderful ice cream shop! Lil yang and I went here yesterday to celebrate her birthday. Lil yang got a small sugar cone with cake and ice cream(flavor), and almond joy(flavor). I got a small cake cone with Zanzibar Chocolate. Our total was $5.50. The amount of ice cream we got was a lot! I was so full after my ice cream, I had to consider that my dinner. Probably not the smartest idea, but hey, it was Lil yang's birthday treat. I haven't tried their food there, but I was recently looking at their menu, and I enjoy a good brat or polish sausage. So I know I will have to try them soon and I will let yelp know. Overall I definitely would recommend this place to anyone. There aren't a huge variety like grand ole creamery, but what they do have is a great selection, and the price is amazing! Support this local shop, you won't regret it!"

Cullens Ice Cream

★★★★★ 4.6 (39) • $

"Just what my sweet tooth was looking for! They offer a variety of yummy flavors. I tried two which were both delicious and full of fillings (cookie dough, brownies, caramel, etc.), but I had to go with a classic - chocolate peanut butter swirl. It was the perfect sweet and salty with plenty of PB. The size of the scoops are so big, I exclaimed, "What?! Is that just one scoop?!" She offered a kid scoop, I gladly accepted and was still amazed at the size. Lol Such a fantastic, perfectly made, icy cold treat on one of the first summery days we've had here in Minneapolis. My new favorite dessert stop. Fantastic!"

Scoops Ice Cream

★★★★☆ 4 (40) • $$

"Such a fun place to visit on a hot summer day! Scoops is a small little ice cream shop that definitely stays busy. My mom and I decided to go get ice cream today for a little treat and I had never been to scoops. We waited in line for about 10 minutes. They have about 18-20 different flavor options to choose from, and multiple different ways for it to be severed. You can choose from a traditional cone, sugar cone, waffle cone, bowl, or waffle bowl. I chose to get a 2 scoop bowl with the flavors Banana Buttercup and S'more! Both were extremely delicious! They give you a lot of ice cream for your money here, I was stuffed by the time I got to the bottom of my bowl. My mom had a waffle cone with the Dragon Berry flavor, she didn't care for it too much, wished it had a bit more flavor. However I think she was less impressed because it was a sorbet. Either way we had a great time and will be coming back for some more treats!"
