20 Best Ice Cream Shops near Excelsior

“Best frozen custard I've ever had! It wasn't too sweet like others I've had before. They had quite a few options, I had the hot fudge sundae with banaa and my hubs had the banana split. The workers were all teens and they were super friendly and helpful. Parking spot is small because there is a drive thru (DRIVE THRU FOR FROZEN CUSTARD!! BRILLIANT!). Line went fast though. Wish we had this in the Bay Area. Wish we had better behaved teens with strong work ethic in the Bay Area. LOL! Cause these teens who work here would be a great example. You need to definitely head over to this spot. Great service and the best FROZEN CUSTARD!“

“Tried it for the first time today. The Cathy sandwich was delicious and I am not a cold sandwich person. The Superman ice cream is very good. I usually can only do a couple of bites and I am done, but I keep eating this one. Can't wait to try the banana bread tomorrow. Yum all around!“

“My new favorite authentic Mexican snack place, I live in Shakopee and when I found out about this place I was ecstatic to try it. Very tasty mangonada perfect for summer time treats. Love the esquites very flavorful. For delectable treats I highly suggest this place.“

“Drove from Richfield just to go to this location. John is such a nice guy and so friendly. The store was clean. He was inviting and very informative with the tester cookie information. I can tell he genuinely cares about this company and he’s one of the people Crumbl should be proud to have representing them.“

“What a lovely find! I was just spending time in the area while my daughter attended a birthday party.We tried the koolaide orange and coffe chocolate flavors. Both were very good. This ice cream is not sugar bombed and tastes delicious.I’m always on the lookout for chili dogs especially out of season for Minnesota.I tried the chili cheese dog and although I’m sort of a health nut I enjoy the “fake” cheese on some of my food splurges. The onions were fresh and added a bite to the hotdog.If I would give the service staff 10 stars I would. It’s nice to see youth being employed and also treating customers exceptionally well.I will stop back in when I’m in the area.Kid-friendliness: Lots of kids were in the establishment. A great family feel.“

“The Cookies are a little too big for me, and just a little too sweet. The store itself was super clean and the employees were super nice. I was almost an hour early to pick up my order, they accommodated me with no fuss! Was accidently given the wrong cookie - probably due to me arriving so much earlier than I was supposed to - again they corrected the mistake without any fuss.“

“I drive from Minneapolis to Shakopee when I crave Culvers. Their food tastes better.It's always packe when we go. I've been to Brooklyn Park and others and have gotten the same thing...still Shakopee take the win.My favorite is the 10 piece shrimp basket. My boyfriend gets the Butter Burger with bacon.“

“When we came in we were greeted by Princess, she was polite, friendly, and helpful and you can tell she cared about giving the customer a great experience. My fiance ordered the potato mozzo Korean Corndog, and I got the strawberry snowball. I won't lie it took a minute for her to make it but when I saw how beautiful it looked and I was floored. The strawberry snowbing looked like something that you would expect from an upscale restaurant. It was absolutely delicious, and it made me want another but I was so full I almost had to get rolled to the car. I'm so glad I was able to find this little honey pot and to enjoy some of the things they have to offer. I'll definitely be back, too bad they aren't closer because this is 35 minutes away from where I live, but worth the visit. Thank you Princess for making me a fan.“

“I came into the restaurant with my 2 children during busy lunch hour. We had a friendly staff experience and the quickest service I've ever gotten at Culver's. I think we got our food in less than a minute and a half. I was floored. They were so kind and friendly it spread to the patrons in the restaurant with me. Very good community feeling store. Love this location. Their A-team was on staff and I loved it. Food was delicious as always. A cone, a sundae, and a Culver's basket meal“

“I received exceptional customer service from Mary Kay. Even though I didn't give a 72 hour notice to order my daughter's birthday this Saturday, she told me it can be done which really made my day!! Thank you Mary Kay! We will be ordering all our cakes from this location for our kids!“

“It's always a delight to see which cookies are available each week. Just when I think I have my top 5 it changes. Some are over the top sweet and some are absolutely perfect!Typically the staff is pretty good, not overly interactive, though polite. Each time we go in the store is clean and we love the bright open environment.“

“Well, Cassie was a great food service worker. She apologized profusely about the ugliness of my concrete mini and was surprised that she could make something so ugly but promised that it tasted better than it looked. She was funny and attentive and asked if there was anything else that I needed.My 8 piece tenders with fries and a mixer were tasty. When did meals get so expensive though? Frfr, why is a Culver's meal $21? The world will never know. It was busy, but fine and the restaurant was clean. I only went because my friend wanted to go, and I thought that it would be super cheap.Parking: There was a bit of parking left.Kid-friendliness: Bring your kids here because even the pickiest eater can find something to nosh on. The tables are large.“

“Food hot and fresh. I enjoy going to Culver's to treat myself to their draft rootbeer. Went at 6pm when drive thru was backed up. Went in to order and all the employees were hustling and smiling and apologizing for the wait great atmosphere of the crew. I was impressed. This site in Plymouth was rockin it!“

“Love this cute little walk up Dairy Queen. Not sure why but feels a bit nostalgic to be able to order from the little window. My mom and I went to use the deal in the app for a blizzard!! Loved my Oreo hot chocolate blizzard!! Fast helpful service!!“

“It's self service top your own frozen yogurt. If you don't know how this works, you've been under a rock for a decade. Ask whomever unfroze you from hibernation. This is a perfectly normal execution of that concept. Bonus point because they have some cool toppings -- popping Boba, mint oreos, and multiple kinds of gummy. Points off because they need to hold the yogurt at lower temperature -- or comes out runny. Still, the kids liked it and I didn't mind! And it's local, which is great.“

“Culvers makes a great walleye fry up this season, and is our family's to go spot for "fast food" done fresh. The drive through staff are awesome.Parking: Shares parking with a strip mall but it's enough for getting quick food.Kid-friendliness: Free scoop or cone with kid's mealWheelchair accessibility: Parking right in front of main entrance“

“Compared to other fast food places, this place is good. Compared to other Culver's, it's just ok. Fries and curds tasted like they had been sitting on a warmer for a while, concrete mixer wasn't really mixed, but the burger was good.“

“I'm a frequent visitor to this restaurant and want to highlight a recent exceptional experience. The staff here has always been great, but this time they truly exceeded expectations. I faced a payment issue as my phone's tap-to-pay feature wasn't working, and I had no physical card or cash, only a card number to input manually. Unfortunately, the updated POS system seemed to lack this option. Instead of turning me away, the assistant manager, Elmo, went out of his way to find a solution, ultimately comping my meal after exhaustive efforts to process the payment. This gesture, along with the patience and problem-solving displayed by Elmo and his team, made me feel like part of the family. I'm so grateful for their service and believe they deserve recognition, perhaps with a company pizza party, as a token of appreciation for their outstanding work.“

“I am so glad I am back at this Dairy Queen! Remodeling looks great, so far is clean inside, and the new spoon styled gutter really brings up the older, fading restaurant that stood before. I was very satisfied with my experience and was only disappointed that the mint dilly bar has been removed from menus and not even here seasonally. However, that doesn't really go against a single location that didn't independently make the decision. It's very refreshing to have the extra option when I am out of options at home!Parking: Parking is usually no issue but sometimes on very busy nights it can be tough to navigate.Kid-friendliness: Definitely a family resturant! A great place to celebrate with some ice cream or a birthday too!“

“I have had great experiences most times I've stopped here (1-4 times a week for a shake). Sometimes the service is spotty, with a bunch of teenagers running it. Today was the first time in a while I was disappointed with my food. I mean, it's a pretty pathetic looking shake ?. Not full to the suggested top even. This is how it was handed to me, I haven't even drank it or let it melt.“
