Sonny's Ice Cream

This was a lovely treat at the end of the day to stop for ice cream! The ambiance was so fun with both indoor and outdoor seating. The staff was friendly and kind offering suggestions on flavors. I loved the ice cream as well!

Charming spot. I had no idea it has been around for decades. I brought the family here for ice cream, umm, gelato a few nights ago. We got a variety of flavors - mint cookie, strawberry, and pistachio. They were all excellent. Definitely a fan. The person working there was very nice and was patient with all of our sampling. We took a seat in the dining area and ate our gelato. it is cozy and I think it wold make a great date spot. There is also an outdoor patio, too. If gelato and dessert are not your thing, they also have a good wine and beer selection as well as espresso and coffee drinks.

Love this place!! They have an amazing story being family owned and making authentic homemade gelato and sorbets!! I tried the ginger and blood orange flavors which are delicious!! They also offer homemade cake when I was there they had a chocolate cake that looked incredible and I hear they have an Amazing banana cake!! If only I could find out when they'll have this cake again (maybe a social media drop or announcement!!) I'd also love to know if and when they have grapefruit gelato!I love all the plants and the Italian vibes it's like youve been transported from Minneapolis into Italia! The menu looked amazing especially the option to add Prosecco to two flavors or sorbet and the espresso stout coffee drink The staff is awesome super friendly and knowledgeable they shared just how amazing and natural all the flavors are how the owners put so much love into their products and how they've continued staying true to the authentic

If your sweet tooth comes a knockin', hit up this hidden gem. I had some of the best gelato I've had. I tried lychee lime and it was very tasty - my favorite. My partner had cookies and cream. It sounds basic, and wouldn't be my first pick, but it was very tasty. Those bad boys were eaten in the car and gone before we got home. We will be back. They have lots of flavor. We did get two scoops, but one would be just fine too. I'd say it's a little expensive at $6/scoop, but I think that's the price these days. Next time I'm getting the affogato!

This gelato was better than some of the gelato I got this summer in Italy. Truly one of the best places to get a scoop in the state. Plus, they have an absolutely beautiful little patio that feels like a secret garden - very charming! Street parking.

The space, specifically outside, is beautiful. Not only is it serene, and feels like you've escaped the city,it's also a plant lover's dream! I recommend downloading a plant identifier app and learning about all the varieties there.That said, why only 3 stars... because my main reason for going was the ice cream. I got the coconut and the cookies and cream flavors. While both tasted good, they were pretty melted upon getting them. The cooler/freezer must not be cold enough. Needless to say, it didn't take long for my ice cream to turn into a milkshake. Aside from ice cream, they also have beers, sodas, affogato, and more. Street parking was pretty available on the Friday I went, as was indoor and outdoor seating. If you're not driving the 4bus goes right there.While the ice cream was just okay, I'd return for the patio.

I'm a bit torn on Sonny's- lots of like here but one important factor will probably keep me from returning versus going other places I love.Let's start with the good- easy free street parking in this neighborhood. The ambiance was very cute with a little alleyway patio that kinda felt like you were transported internationally. Service was friendly. Lots of amazing and delicious options and the gelato was scrumptious! Not many places to find classic gelato around the cities.However. Two scoops (a medium) was over $10 a piece. WOW. Haven't spent over $20 for two ice creams before. A little much for what you get in my opinion.

Absolutely love Sonny's! The outside terrace is one of the most beautiful spaces I've ever seen! The gelato is always so good and they do a great job at their flavors. Carrie and Ron are also so personable and nice! The best ice cream shop in the cities!

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!

This place is so cute, I can't believe it isn't more raved about! I think this is the best spot to go after a dinner date, or use alone as a more casual date spot to impress your guest. There are so many unique flavors to choose from, and they even offer wine and beer. My go-to is to get the sorbet cocktail, which is a scoop of whichever sorbet you like with Prosecco poured over. They are very genius with their serving size and pour, making this a great deal! The star of the show is truly the side courtyard area. They ply great music out there and it almost feels like you have your own slice of Europe right in Minnesota. It is so charming and even better once the sunsets and the lights turn on! If you haven't been yet, Sonny's is a must visit this summer.
