If you want to know how fresh our ice cream is give our madagascar vanilla a try. We use both vanilla beans and vanilla extract grown in the madagascar region. We dont mess around with this robust and full-bodied flavor with notes that include bourbon, cigar box and caramel.
We use Askinosie chocolate from Springfield, MO. Its chocolate ice cream the best way we know how to make it. If you are a chocolate fanatic, we made this one for you.
A top selling flavor and quite a standout. Coconut ice cream is the base using pureed coconut. We then fold in our homemade chocolate chips along with roasted and salted almonds. You cant go wrong, its the owners favorite flavor at the shop.
Homemade chocolate chips meets powerful Seely Family Farm spearmint and peppermint. A great combination of farmer direct mint.
Our fresh banana ice cream is a secret gem here, we have a cult following behind this flavor. Equal exchange fresh fair trade organic bananas, cream, milk, cane sugar and organic egg yolks are all you need.
Strawberries are fresh in June, july here in minnesota and we take full advantage of that. We freeze enough berries to last the entire year.
Central wisconsin ruby roasters decaf coffee is steeped for 2 days, strained and churned into a robust, full-bodied, coffee ice cream.
California lemons infused with California olive oil. Its our best selling ice cream.
We use the all natural and organic version of Oreos here Newman Os. First we soak the cookies overnight in milk to get a cookie milk then churn it. Whats next? Adding even more cookies! Creamy, bold, and like all of our flavors, this is the best we know to make it.
Using Kings cupboards simple, all-natural caramel sauce makes this flavor a go-to for many fans. Jacobsen salt co. in netarts bay provides us the sea salt harvested from Oregons cold coastal waters. Food and wine magazine awarded us top 20 ice cream shop in America and this flavor was highlighted, yea - its that good.
Sweet tart local honeyberries from Dawson, Minn are blended with raspberries and swirled in a vanilla base. We make the crisp here using organic oats, butter, whole wheat heirloom pastry flour, and muscovado sugar and Hope Creamery butter.
We steep dried lavender for 2 days in milk and cream, strain this and churn into a beautiful floral ice cream.
Sweet dark cherries that bleed into the ice cream make this flavor a beautiful purple hue. The cherries are from the pacific NW and are delicious paired with chocolate.
Brother Justus in NE Mpls makes a fantastic whiskey that I could not help but create a flavor with it! I had been waiting for this debut for a while now, they recently started bottling their liquid gold and I'm all over this beaut. It's straight up whiskey ice cream with their notes of stone fruit shining through. It's a gem of an ice cream just like Brother Justus was. Growing up I heard my Dad and my uncle/godfather Lawrence Trettel talk about Brother Justus (Lawrence was Brother Justus's nephew). I don't remember the stories they shared but I do remember them reminiscing quite a bit about the hero Brother Justus. Note: this ice cream contains less alcohol then our vanilla ice cream.
Our seasonal signature flavor using fresh organic rhubarb and Madagascar vanilla extract. This flavor will be around until mid to late June.
A very nice spice lemon combination. If you were a fan of our winter flavor, Cardamom with Candied Orange Peel, this one is for you.
Our best selling non-dairy flavor uses locally-made peanut butter from Good Life along with our homemade chocolate chips. This vegan option uses coconut cream as the base.
Muscovado is a unrefined dark sugar. This coconut cream based ice cream has tasting notes of butterscotch pudding and gingerbread.
New non vegan ice cream using coconut cream. You really cant tell the difference between this flavor and our best selling dairy counterpart.
Coconut cream based and vegan. We use peppermint and spearmint from Seely Mint Family Farm in Oregon.
One of our best selling sorbets combines sweet mango with tart passion fruit. Low in sugar and high in fruit.
A big selling flavor made with locally made peanut butter from A Good Life along with Guittard cocoa powder. A salty kiss of Jacobsen sea salt from oregons coastal waters is the key to bringing out the peanut butter yumminess.
Dairy free using organic grapefruits
We put our heart and soul into this flavor and we hope it is worthy of its name. Serious chocolate people will love the super dense brownies(actually flourless chocolate cake) enrobed in a rich chocolate base.
Using Long Island Cheese squash from the St. Paul Farmers Market. We take our local ingredients serious here and this one puts an exclamation mark on our commitment.
Using fresh organic Colorado peaches in Madagascar vanilla ice cream. Seasonal!
This is the bomb of all milk chocolates! Just like our chocolate ice cream, referenced above, we use stellar meadowlands chocolate 100% peru origin chocolate. This is chock full of roasted and salted almonds and cocoa nibs roasted cocoa beans.
Coconut milk based makes this flavor taste like a pina colada. Creamy, beautiful and screams spring!
All the flavors that go into gingerbread but without the bread!
Using our house made lemon bars with organic lemons, Hope Creamery butter and heirloom organic flour. This is folded in buttermilk ice cream.
New flavor for 2023! Lucuma is a Peruvian super fruit, it looks like an avocado except it has a dense yellow flesh. In Peru, Lucuma is their best selling ice cream.
Super creamy butter ice cream with flecks of chocolate throughout. One of our top sellers.
A nice combination of fruity and heat.
New flavor for 2023! Butterscotch ice cream base with chunks of brickle(toffee). Our Brickle is made for us from Mayana Chocolate in Spooner, Wisconsin.

A lovely ice cream shop that has fun small batch flavors. With pints that are only 8 bucks, it's a pretty great deal you can't pass up if you have a favorite flavor.

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.

Best local creamery in the twin cities. Pump house has unreal flavors that are made the very best local soured ingredients and churned fresh. Typically there are 8-10 flavors at a time but I have never tried so many delicious flavors that are unique to many creameries. Reminds me of a gourmet brewer or barista but focused solely on unbelievable ice cream.I've been to 80 plus gourmet creameries and their min chip is the best I have ever had. It's a bit pricier and portions aren't huge but you get what you pay for!Nice job pumphouse team

Pump house creamy is so much fun. You can find a line waiting outside in the summer. The selection is unique and all very good. They have these ice cream flights with 5 small scoops of your choice. My favorite this rotation was the Burnt Butterscotch- this deliciousness reminds me of the sugar coating of crème brûlée. It might not be for everyone but it's definitely a must try. I think there's a flavor for everyone here. There are a couple of benches to sit outside otherwise the tables at the restaurant is free game after they close.

This is a fantastic ice cream shop! I tried the strawberry ice cream, and the use fresh, locally grown strawberries! Farmer's Market strawberries are lightyears better than grocery store options... and it makes a difference in the ice cream.Also, I like the portions. It's not too much. The price point is good too. Family of 5 for under $20.

I tend to try ice creams in every city I visit. I can say this is some of the best ice cream I have ever had, particularly the mango red/pink peppercorn flavor. I also tried a few flavors that all tasted yummy and fresh. The person working behind the counter was also kind and patient. The vibes were also good and the materials are compostable which is important. 10/10 will be going next time I'm in the cities as my favorite ice cream shop.

They have the most unique flavors, they are extremely affordable, and they are always packed but because the staff works so quickly you're never waiting in line too long. This is definitely a grab and go type of place with minimal outdoor seating. The parking situation is free street parking. A great area to walk around with friends.

I've come here a few times and have left satisfied each visit! The flavors use many local ingredients and are fun/unique. They have a mix of flavors available for anyone's preference. They even have non-dairy ice creams (cashew based) and sorbets available. The store is super cute and has an almost retro feel. The staff has been exceptional each time - always attentive and helpful. The biggest plus is that the prices are so affordable! The only downside is that I wish the store were closer to me!
