Sebastian Joe's

Raspberry Chocolate Chip was out of this world!Best hand-packed ice cream in Minneapolis!Lexi from Lowry's recommended it !

While on vacation in Minneapolis, we first tried Sebastian Joe's ice cream at Sea Salt in Minnehaha Park. Oh my goodness, it was some of the best and creamiest ice-cream we'd had in a long time. Therefore, we decided to seek out one of their ice cream shops, to try some more. The shop on Franklin Ave offers a large ice cream bar when you walk in, along with a seating area and restrooms. The staff were friendly and offered us samples before we committed to buying a flavor. Besides ice-cream cones/cups, they also sell ice cream cakes.We tried the amaretto chocolate and the salted caramel. Delicious! There seemed to be a shortage of ice-cream shops in Minneapolis (Probably because it's so cold for much of the year!) I really think this brand could expand in M'polis or nation wide. It was that good.I took one star off because their restrooms were not very clean. Helpful?

We stopped in around 9:30 on a Thursday night and waited about 10 minutes in line. Pretty standard wait time for a scoop shop!I ordered the raspberry chip and blackberry almond. The raspberry chip is a classic, can't go wrong and it tasted very fresh. My favorite though was the blackberry almond. Nutty, creamy, berry delight. Both scoops tasted like they were made with real fruit which I loved. The shop itself is small and not built to seat very many people. We opted to walk around the corner and post up on some raised ledges.

YUM!! This is a go-to with friends for ice cream in the twin cities. I've always been happy with service and ice cream at any Sebastian Joe's location, but something about this one really hits home.They have rotating flavors, and always have more than a few dairy free options. I'd love to see the dairy free options expand, but even if they don't I will keep comin back!! Sprinkle cones are a must here. They're crunchy and the sprinkles still have a little crunch to them too! I've never had an ice cream here that I disliked. They're all flavorful and many of them have 'stuff' in them: Carmel, nuts, fruit, etc. if you're in uptown, make a stop here! There's cute seating around the corner, as well as a nice indoor seating area as well. A summer staple!

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!

Sebastian Joe's is, in my opinion, the best hard ice cream in Minneapolis. I have been to a lot of the famous ones, but this one takes the cake for me. I have been here a number of times over the years and this place is always packed and the ice cream is always delicious.They are open through the winter which is different than most places where I grew up, but is awesome because there's never a bad time for ice cream.I have had a number of their flavors including Oreo, Danish Nut Roll, and Pavarotti and while they have all been delicious - Pavarotti is by far my favorite. I love the flavor of banana ice cream and all of the other add-ins make it even better.The space is pretty large inside, but expect a typical ice cream store environment inside with high sound volumes and many families having a great ice cream outing.In the summer, they do have some patio seating in an alley way sort of thing, but it's pretty limited so I wouldn't bank on it.The parking situation is street only, but there's plenty of small streets around which generally have plenty of parking, but may require a little walk.

I'm guessing they are very wealthy since their ice cream is sold all over the cities. Yet, their double scoop is everyone else's single. The single seems to be a kid's serving. I was impressed with the guy doing the coffee beans.

Very good ice cream.It was creamy and tasty. We all loved it. Definitely recommend trying it.

Sebastian Joe's serves up delicious hard scoop ice cream. The flavors come in well known classics and some unique remixes. This time I got their vanilla cookie sandwich because I haven't g he ad one in so long. The cookies were great and paired well with the ice cream, reminded me of summers as a child. The staff here were welcoming and helpful. There is plenty of seating both indoors and outside. The location is pretty convenient and has street parking available.

There were a lot of unique flavors at Sebastian Joe's! I tried the Peach Rosewater Chocolate Chip Ice Cream and it was delicious. They also had holiday season based flavors including Candy Cane and Pumpkin which was pretty cool. In addition to Ice Cream, they also have sundaes, coffee, matcha, cakes and variety of pastries.
