50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Brooklyn Center

“We came here to celebrate a friend's new car purchase, and it was a delightful place to have dinner. The employees were very attentive and Culver's always delivers quality. The portions are reasonable enough that you are comfortable instead of full, with room for dessert. The caramel cashew sundae has been a favorite since childhood. The manager checked on us and everything was great.“

“Always a unique selection, friendly service and great tasting ice cream! I need to make up excuses to treat myself. :) The apple crisp and oatmeal raison cookie flavors are 👌“

“FARRO SALAD & Falafel sandwich, this I my order! The combination of the perfectly dressed farrow salad, fresh whole herbs and that mysterious flake on the outside of the sandwich bread keeps me coming back! This is now my destination for a healthy quick lunch! In fact I go out of my way to get it! More than 5 stars if I could do it!!!“

“Best ice cream in the Northwest Metro. Lots of unusual flavors. Their coffee ice cream is soooo good. They let you sample any flavor.“

“Very good Iced cream the best of Minnesota“

“Fantastic flavors, great service!“

“It's a good-old-fasioned DQ with outdoor seating only. They do a nice job of hiring and training their young staff to be friendly and attentive. I stop by at least a couple times a month during their long season (March-October at least) and always look forward to a good experience. Nice co-customers, too!

Parking: Parking is like, RIGHT there.

Kid-friendliness: If anybody spills, no problem -- it's all outside!“

“We were on a quest to find a new ice cream place and stumbled upon Treats via Google. I am so happy we found it! Best ice cream ever! Who would have thought mixing cereal with ice cream could be so amazing!?? Definitely coming back again and again :)“

“A HUGE thanks to Chris for being kind enough to personally reply to my inquiry just one day prior to the #pullingtogether event with an ingredients listing of the scrumptious frozen treats offered during the event. We loved the ice lollies #GFCF options; all were absolutely delightful! #hashtug #friendsoffraser“

“Dream burger double smash. Great tasting skirt. Great smash sear. The dream sauce was delicious. I could dip anything in that sauce. Pickles were great and not overpowering. The bun was buttery and held up nice. Dreams fried chicken sandwich with hot honey was off the charts. great flakey crust and buttermilk chicken was juicy! Devoured in seconds.  strawberry 🍓 shake and a chocolate malt hit the spot on this 90 degree + day.“

“las nieves tienen un sabor muy rico y realmente saben a fruta y el precio esta muy bien. 100% recomendado que visiten y prueben“

“Classic diner comfort with a modern update on the menu. Lots of great cocktail and beer options, but not so many that it’s not kid friendly. Have been here twice now, and both times food and service has been excellent.“

“If you find yourself in Minneapolis/St. Paul and are even a little bit hungry- I highly recommend you try this cozy, friendly, delectable local restaurant. Every thing I ate and drank was amazing and the owner was a gracious and talented restaurateur. #tripadvisor and #lonelyplanet and #moontravel u should check this place out!“

“The $5 cookie isn't worth it? Well maybe as a gift I usually just bake my chocolate chip cookies from the store in my oven and they're just as good. But if you like fancy weird cookies they change their cookies all the time now that's kind of cool and for a gift people do appreciate getting them. But for a cookie you'll have to take out a mortgage I think a box of cookies is probably like 30 bucks or something like that I only got one cookie and it was like $4 or something. But like I said for a gift for your employees, for a friend, someone that's sick, it is a really nice gift to give and to receive. So I recommend it for this purpose not because you're craving a cookie cuz that'll be an expensive crave.

Parking: It's a little strip mall with like four other shops You park right out front and just walk right in.“

“Went for a quick little treat with my family! Delicious as always. They have a new mango and tropical flavor - SOO good!“

“Phish Food: This flavor was born in 1997 and is named after a Vermont improvisational rock group. A portion of the royalties from the flavor goes toward environmental efforts in Vermont’s Lake Champlain Watershed, which is great since our current government leadership doesn't seem to care about the environment. The pint’s description is chocolate ice cream with gooey marshmallow swirls, caramel swirls, and fudge fish. When I first began digging through my pint I did not see much of the marshmallow swirls. After mining my way through the frozen treat, I finally found a fair amount. The chocolate ice cream is rich and is complemented nicely by a school of fudgy fish that have a flavor edging closer to dark chocolate. Chocolate lovers should be happily satisfied with this one. It’s almost like a double chocolate fudge ice cream because there’s so much chocolate ice cream & fudge fish as compared to the marshmallow and caramel. Speaking of caramel, the caramel swirls do take the flavor up a notch, but they could be more abundant. Caramel is one of my favorite flavors and the combination with the chocolate and fudge reminds me of a frozen candy bar. The marshmallow swirl has a sweet/cream-like flavor. It is not simply marshmallow flavored ice cream, but texturally it is something resembling actual marshmallows, like fluff, and I love it! I wish there was more caramel & marshmallow, but overall I’m impressed. Doughboy approved 😋

“I stopped by after my workout craving some Häagen-Dazs and got there a few minutes after closing. One of the workers actually ran after me and still offered to make me something — seriously made my day! The ice cream was amazing as always, but their kindness and customer service were even better. Huge thank you to the team! 🍦💛“

“Omg I moved to Minneapolis over 2 years ago and thought there were no DQs for me...then while meandering in the Skyway I found this place!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!
I immediately got a smoothie and their pretzels with cheese, perfect post school snack! The dude behind the counter was incredibly friendly and in my hangry state I almost chose an Orange Julius over a smoothie but he kindly explained the difference.
I will be coming here regularly because DQ is the greatest and also the workers are nice. Yay!!!!!“

“Being a work from home mom, I LOVE this place. Great coffee and awesome play area in back to keep the kids busy“

“El mejor heladoooo muy cremosito!! Pedí una sandía Loka y wow la mejor muy bien preparada. 💯 recomendado“

“Super recomendado excelente servicio y todo bien rico!!!“

“We had such an amazing time and the gal working was the absolute sweetest. Thank you so much!! Definitely worth the stop!“

“Crumbl is honestly such a fun place to go if you love sweet treats. The cookies are huge, super soft, and the weekly rotating flavors keep things exciting. Personally, I think the cookies taste amazing, but they can be very sugary. They’re perfect as an occasional treat, but definitely not something to eat every single day—too much and you might feel sick. Overall, Crumbl is a great spot for anyone with a sweet tooth, just best enjoyed in moderation!“

“Absolutely delicious! You will not be disappointed with any of their unique desserts or refreshing drinks! 5 out of 5“

“I placed an order through the app last week to get to the store and find it closed due to illness. It was a bit frustrating that evening. I did finally speak to the store manager who promptly gave a credit to my account. Thank you for making it right. Unexpected things happen, thank you for being pleasant and making the correction.“

“This place has really gone down hill use to love this place but this year and especially today shows me it’s time to find other whole sale vendors so I went to buy ice cream today and and was rushed to decide even though I was actually buying ice cream and not just wasting time I had a total of over 200 but wanted to spend 350 usually im in and out cause i know what sells and what doesn’t but lately it’s hard because every time i come to big bells they are always out of the ice cream I get so today like this whole year he was out of what I needed so I thought let me try new stuff but was unable to because I was being rushed by the manager of all people the worst part is his drivers always have everything he says he’s out of so that lets me know out means my drivers get that witch mess up money for those who don’t work for him just rude and Ridiculous hope they really get their stuff together (((( it’s a new year updated review)))) this place is back to being what we love great ice cream great price great service no rushing and I love the t shirts we get for free this will always be my ice cream guy“

“We tried a survey of their food and were especially impressed by the Quesatacos and Quesabirria!

The Quesatacos were incredibly tasty. A lovely combination of savor and texture.

The Quesatacos included a light spread of mayo. That’s really set the dish off in a way that was impressive.

The chips that came with the guacamole were very crisp and lovely as well. Although the guacamole serving was somewhat small.

All in all, exceeded our expectations and we will be back!“

“Ice creams... what makes it different from similar ones is that one can choose the extra ingredients and they mix and integrate them as part of the ice cream, that is, it does not remain as a topping or topping.

For me, if they were a little less sweet they would be excellent and if there was a smaller size option it would be great.

Excellent service ??“

“We purchased two dozen cookies online and had a gift card for a third dozen

For some reason their gift cards were not working online, so we went in the store to pick up and they were not working in store either.

We needed to pick up the cookies to deliver to our daughter for her birthday for her soccer team.

The manager on duty, let us take the cookies and trusted that I had the correct amount on the gift card.

FANTASTIC SERVICE!!

this was on October 2 Wednesday, So whoever the young lady was on duty gets the credit for going above and beyond.“

“Came after receiving a giftcard for my birthday. Extremely limited room to dine in here, but there are a number of tables outside for when the weather is fair. My ice cream shake was tasty - I'd forgotten they use real strawberries - and the staff member was polite.“
