Yum! As an ice cream addict, I so appreciate having good spots like this around! Although it appears to be pre-bought ice cream based on my recognization of a couple common flavors that my restaurant orders as well, they offer a good variety of good quality ice creams. A slight bit more expensive than I like to pay for a scoop, but hey, I'm from a small town originally. Service and menu is where they really shine! I stopped in this week and had great, friendly and fast service from the person behind the counter. The menu is so huge with hot drinks, cold drinks, ice cream creations, and more! You can order just about anything you'd like or build your own creation. The inside is decorated cute as well and features a great window view at the front so you can watch the world go by while you enjoy your scoop. We will be back!

Great location, open year-round, multi-functional serving coffee and ice cream, lovely service, unique - the list goes on. Sure, Saint Paul has an array of ice cream shops, but this one is special in the additional coffee component. My personal favorite is the bootstrap shake which comes with a shot of espresso blended in with a whip cream and cherry. There's a super cute bar to enjoy your dish, cone, shake, malt, sundae, coffee, etc. as well as a few smaller tables. Come try!

Dessert: Cake Batter Ice Cream After dinner I popped into @coldfrontmsp for a refreshing dessert. This little shop is nestled in the St. Paul area between a few good business. Small in size but seems to pack an explosive bite. I opted for the for the cake batter and to my surprise it wasn't super sweet. It was just enough to balance for ice cream. My only suggestion would be to not add so much cake batter pieces. Overall 9/10 and the young men working the shop are super nice. #TheTravoodieLife #agirlandfood #foodie #foodielife #goodeats #travelfood #foodblogger #prayeattravel #worldfoodie #blackfoods #travoodie #blackfoodie #travelingfoodie #blackgirlswhoblog #travoodieeats **Like, Share, & Follow Me @thetravoodie on IG, FB & TikTokDM or Email for Collab

Great little ice cream shop with both traditional and more creative flavors. High quality with creamy texture and rich flavors.And since I can never decide, I love the flight that is also served on the most adorable mini ice cream cones.

Best ice cream store in the entire St. Paul area. While there's a competing ice cream store less than a mile away, that one serves grocery store ice cream and obscene amounts. The ice cream that you get a Cold Front is from the University of Wisconsin Madison's dairy barn and amazing. They have incredible flavors and generous servings for a single cone. Definitely worth supporting this local small business. While I've never joined Cold Front's $40 a month coffee club, they seem to make amazing fancy espresso drinks too. You're missing out if you stop by the Nook and don't come here for dessert.

Found this spot while walking back to the car after breakfast. Felt a little sheepish after asking how long the store had been there (thinking it was fairly new) and the very nice man helping says "8 years or so". Well dang.The menu was very inviting. Another place where the menu might seem a little short, but of you want it, they can make it. I got a London Fog, hubs had his standard hazelnut latte. Both were great. Grabbed a (giant) banana chocolate chip muffin to go and can't wait to enjoy it. Definitely will come back for some ice cream! That Chai affogato sounds delicious!

So with the location and reviews Cold Front seemed promising, but it failed to live up to the hype.First, the ice cream is NOT made in house. It was okay ice cream, but it's not really worth my time if you don't make it yourself.Second, the place feels stale and lacks the personality of an ice cream shop. The presentation was very plain, selection was limited, and ultimately I just didn't feel like it was a place where you could hang out.Lastly, I also got an espresso, and I received it in a disposable cup to drink in house. When you don't compost inside city boundaries, I detested throwing the cup in the trash. Part of the reason I order an espresso is to drink it out of the small cup because the cup actually makes a difference.Overall, there were several misses here and I would not come back.

We had a horrible meal next door and wanted to get the taste out of our mouths. Cold Front was perfect. Excellent ice cream and service.We tried several flavors: Superman, Chocolate, Oreo and Turtle. They were all excellent and we couldn't pick a favorite.Try 2 flavors in a bowl - you won't be disappointed.

Can't say anything bad about this place, right next to a very awesome restaurant called Nook, decent prices, delicious flavors, local small business, very clean, friendly staff...I will go back again.

Their ice cream is excellent with some standards and a few rotating flavors which have all been great. They even have good lactose free options, some of which are ice cream, not sorbet or Italian ice, though those are usually good too. I'm curious to try their coffee and soda stuff but haven't yet!
