36 Best Ice Cream Shops near Hopkins

“Yum kids sundae & boba tea“

“Cold Stone Ice Cream is not only the best ice cream but every time I go there, the wonderful server helps us with our order. She is patient, especially with small children, and always smiling. Yesterday, my grandchildren asked for water. She must have heard them because, all of a sudden, with a long line of customers, cups of water appeared. Thank you!“

“fantastic and imaginative ice cream flavors“

“Have myself a wonderful frozen hot chocolate.
The only criticism is the teenagers that are working there should not have their friends hanging out.
They should know if they're at work they're there to work.
But besides that this is a fairly good Dairy Queen Hopkins Minnesota.“

“I have enjoyed every bite of every pint I’ve bought since the day it opened. I no long live in Minneapolis but still will make the 25min drive for a couple pints 😋“

“Best ice cream available! Amazing experience for people with food allergies.“

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

“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 👌“

“Fantastic flavors, great service!“

“Very good Iced cream the best of Minnesota“

“I have went to this place twice and already a favorite. The service is great. You are able to try two flavors I tried the mango strawberry sorbet the first time I went and that was the one . Absolutely loved it . The second time I went which was yesterday I had the ube vanilla and it was also great. You have the choice between a waffle cone or three different size cups which was nice.
I always do a cone. The seating area instead and out is beautiful. The outside though looks like a fairy house lol . Very whimsical. Overall this is a great stop in south Minneapolis. I’m sure I’ll be back soon.“

“Excellent! All fresh ingredients! Such an amenity to downtown Edina ! And walking distance from 🏠 home ! Ice Cream 🍨 😀👍 Very reasonably priced“

“We were looking for an ice cream place that wasn't in the mall and where we could sit for a while. Staff was very friendly, flavors were great. I personally really enjoyed the passion fruit and the tres leches. Some cute photo ops. We also watched someone else order a snack which looked so yummy and fresh. There may have been some food envy. Anyhow would recommend and we will be back.“

“El servicio fue fabuloso el establecimiento muy limpio y los precios súper accesibles recomiendo al 100% la michoacana de Rochester Minnesota yo le doy 10 de 10“

“Scoop shops are the place to get a hand packed pint of vanilla & this is the best vanilla. I can get pint size of the sorbet which I've not seen in store. I had a lemonade & berry smoothie that was just perfect.

I highly recommend hitting up this spot. Parking was mess and I would probably go back much later to avoid crowds.

Expensive but a very nice treat.“

“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“

“I had tried posting this review 2/22/2023, but not sure what I did wrong for it to not be public.

Short review- The staff are always friendly. All 9 flavors I’ve had so far have been delicious and I can’t wait to keep bringing friends to try Snowbing for their first time!
FYI: If you get Snowbing and Cruncheese at the same time you’ll need to pay from two separate registers. They’re right next to each other, so it’s no hassle!

TLDR-
I was so excited for Minnesota’s one and only Korean bingsu place to open! For those who don’t know, bingsu (빙수) is a milk based shaved ice dessert. Many people might have ice shavers to make their own, but it hits different when it’s made with the milk base.
Even though I live about 30 minutes away I’ve been almost 10 times. Snowbing has 10 flavors: Traditional Red Bean, injeolmi, strawberry, green tea red bean, chocolate, oreo, mango, watermelon, yogurt berry, and strawberry cheesecake. Checkout the photos included!

Flavors: The last time I went I finally tried the chocolate one, which I had been holding out on because I was worried it’d be overpoweringly sweet. It wasn’t! I would order it again in a heartbeat. I’ve gone with friends who’ve been worried about trying the yogurt berry because they didn’t want more dairy with the yogurt, but the yogurt is (in my opinion) mainly just drizzled on top for looks. We didn’t think it was too yogurty and really loved this bingsu because of the 3 fruits in it. I have yet to try the strawberry cheesecake before I’ve had them all, but can’t wait to check it off my list.

Pro tip: Eat the bingsu first, theeen get your cruncheese. If you eat the cruncheese first, there won’t be enough space for you to enjoy the bingsu! When I went my first time I was with 3 other friends. We got our own cruncheese then shared 2 different bingsus. I can eat my own bingsu bowl by myself as long as I eat that before any other food.

Hope you enjoy as much as I have! :)“

“Always a great place to grab some ice cream 🍦“

“i enjoyed looking at the collectibles. The place is small, but packed with everything from the 50's!“

“Kids and I had Freezix tonight for dessert and so yummy! Also Kelly (asked his name for this) gave us great service. When I left him a tip, the jar was so full - I must not be the only one impressed. He let me use both my coupons (which I wasn't expecting). Also we came about 1/2 hr before close, and he didn't make us feel rushed or anything (I know this is supposed to happen but doesn't at some places or with other people). Thanks Kelly!“

“Love the drinks especially the Mango Slush :)“

“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“

“had the peachy butter and the dulce de Leche so good. highly recommend“

“I’ve gone to this particular location countless times. It’s easily the most convenient one, especially if you order carryout from the app. You’ll only be waiting for a few minutes at the most before you get your cookies. Will always return to the 101/7 location.“

“Very friendly staff and the ice cream is so creamy“

“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 😋

“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 :)“

“Lost my comment. Try again. On May 19th a group of family members went to the Bloomington Culvers. We were celebrating my grandsons grade school concert. I was unable to go up front to order and my son asked if someone could help me. Jose (spelling) I believe was the night manager. He came back to my table and took my order. He was so gracious and kind. I so appreciated his help. I didn't have the right walker and it would have been difficult without help to go up front. I can't thank him enough. It is so nice to go to a restaurant and know everyone is so friendly and willing to make your experience a good one. Thank you Don and Misty for such a wonderful crew. Now if you only had your fried chicken back on the menu, my favorite. See you soon“

“Wonderful customer service and the best carmel corn you can get anywhere!“

“Excellent everything! Ice cream, fries, hot dogs, & service!“
