Very vibrant store with cute decorations. This ice cream shop reminds us of the ice cream shops in the twin cities. It is a nice find on a cloudy weekend. The mini size is still pretty big and you can get up to two flavors for the mini size. Recommend to stop by if you are visiting the area.

The ice cream here is some of the best I've ever had. Can't wait to come back and try some other flavors.

Second time visiting here and I absolutely love it! They have PLENTY of vegan/non dairy options which is AMAZING. Their root beer float brings back memories for me so it's a must when I stop here. The oatmeal chocolate chip cookie ice cream was good but too sweet for my liking. Prices are also reasonable + there's seating in/outside. Was a bit busy when we stopped but that's expected when it's a hot day. The workers were friendly and the inside was clean.

This is a great locally-owned ice cream shop that offers free samples of all of their flavors, as well as great customer service. Love the atmosphere in this place and it is dog friendly! The Superman flavor is blast from the past, taking back to my childhood! Highly recommend this place for a great old-fashioned scoop ice cream.

Being new to the area, I'm always in search for a sweet treat. Walking around the streets of Mankato, I stumbled upon this place and am very glad I did. Located down riverfront dr, this is the perfect place to bring your: family, friends, or a date for the perfect sweet concoction. There flavors are funky and different and delicious. They have a big selection of non-dairy as well as gluten free. They have multiple options as far as scoops in a cup or cone. Furthermore, if you cannot make up your mind, they also just rolled out the option of getting an ice cream flight!! The experience overall was great. Staff is friendly, ice cream is delicious, and this is just a great place to come and have an evening sweet treat. I look forward to many summer nights walking down and satisfying my sweet tooth.

Yummy! This was exactly what we were looking for on our last day in Mankato. A sweet treat with unique flavors and great service! I got a double of This Just Got Real (salted caramel pecan goodness--highly recommend) and Zanzibar chocolate (so rich so good). For $5 it's a huge portion--I recommend sharing! The selection was vast, and they had everything from soy based to sherbet to creamy decadence. I prefer the latter. Cute spaces to sit and enjoy inside and outside (flowers and greenery). They had games to play, free dog treats, and sink for kids to wash hands too!Workers were super friendly and had great recommendations for which flavors they liked best. Love this place--a small town treat!

Best local ice cream shop in Mankato! The staff are always super friendly and there is plenty of parking & sitting area (both outdoor and indoor). I had the cappuccino break flavor and it was delicious! Perfect if you love coffee and have a sweet tooth! There is also a great selection of dairy-free vegan flavors, great for those who are vegan or lactose intolerant. I always try to stop by here any time I get a chance to visit Mankato!
