“I am only writing this review for one employee

Alisha is truly a cake decorating magician! Despite my last minute calls… twice!! she was willing to take on my orders with a positive fun attitude and even accepts my theme requests. Her enthusiasm shines through every time she answers the phone, making the whole experience delightful. Beyond that, she does an absolutely fantastic job on the cakes, offering thoughtful suggestions and genuinely caring about the quality and final result. Unlike others who might just take the order, Alisha goes the extra mile to ensure perfection. Dairy Queen is lucky to have such a star on their team! Huge thanks to Alisha for making every cake special!!!!“

“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.“

“The caramel salted crack was amazing they make everything in house including the saltines covered and chocolate and caramel that were mixed into the delectable ice cream. I also tried the Pandan a unique flavor that is plant-based green and color and delicious and taste. I got 4 different flavors but want to go back to try them all! Was able to chat with the owner what a fantastic ice cream magician.“

“Absolutely loved our first trip here! Amazing flavors, perfect sizes, and great prices. Thrilled we found this amazing shop.“

“I’ve been on this earth for 45 years, and I like to think of myself as a bit of an ice cream connoisseur — and I can say with full confidence that Sprinkles has the best-tasting ice cream I’ve ever had! Every flavor is perfection, and it’s served up by some of the kindest teens in our community — seriously, they make every visit feel joyful.

This place has quickly become a neighborhood favorite, and I’m not sure how I’ll survive the winter without it! Maybe the owner could keep a few flavors scooping over at Mavericks until it’s warm enough for Sprinkles to open again?? Just saying — I’d be first in line! 🍦💛“

“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“

“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.“

“You will not find a more attentive and pleasant staff. And our ice cream was delicious, too!“

“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!!!!!“

“I love the owner, shes really the sweetest person ever, but her new employees give horrible service. I wont be spending my money here again, till the owner herself is behind the counter, they wont have my repeat business“

“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 :)“

“my girlfriend and i come here often. i’m obsessed with their watermelon flavor. they got rid of it one day. i emailed the company and they got it back within the day. 100% recommend they’re awesome.“

“I recommend the WHOLE MENUE !!!!! (But not all at once) : o)“

“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 😋

“The cookies are amazing and delicious! They are a little pricey, but totally worth it! We love to get different cookies and split them so we can all get a taste. The service is quick and easy, and the restaurant is clean. I highly recommend“

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

“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.“

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

“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!“
