50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Hopkins

“fantastic and imaginative ice cream flavors“

“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!“

“I was Happy to try the Flamethrower Burger w/Fries,along with a Medium drink/Flurry(Awesome service worthy of 10,000/10,000 of awesomeness)“

“My absolute favorite ice cream! We stop to get some every time we are in Minneapolis. We’ve enjoyed every flavor, but the lemon olive oil is so good that I dream about it! Definitely recommend!!!!“

“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 👌“

“Fresh seasonal flavors that are constantly becoming new favorites. I love that everything is a very hands on and not crazy processed like most foods. Try oatmeal cookie or grasshopper if you can.“

“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!!!“

“I've been looking forward to my first visit here and I wasn't disappointed. The overall beauty and Italian/European vibe this place, has me in love. The ice cream is also beautiful and delicious. I had (if I remember correctly): Blood Orange Gelato, Strawberry Lemonade Gelato and Asian Lemon Sherbet. The customer service is fast and friendly. This is now my go to place for a cool treat.“

“Fantastic flavors, great service!“

“20/10!!! The service was amazing! I did not get the name of the person who helped me but they made our night! So helpful as we had never been before. They went out of their way to let us try multiple flavors and make recommendations. I ended up with this and it was delicious! I wish we lived closer to go more often! They also offered to take a picture for our family, which was so kind! Go here and support a super cute business with great service and delicious treats!“

“The rule of thumb for an ice cream place:

it must be staffed by either high schoolers (or people who look like they should be kept in high school until they look their age),

or jovial Eastern/Southern European (or Turkish) males over the age of 55 that have emigrated to North America prior to the year 2010.

This store passes the rule of thumb. Therefore, the product is good and I can recommend it with a clean conscience.“

“Ben & Jerry’s is always a treat for ice cream lovers, and this location delivers on the brand’s reputation for bold flavors and creamy textures. The variety is impressive—whether you’re a fan of classics like Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough or adventurous picks like Cherry Garcia, there’s something for everyone. The ice cream is rich, indulgent, and consistently fresh, making every scoop worth savoring.
The shop has a fun, colorful vibe that matches the brand’s playful personality. Staff are generally friendly and quick to serve, even during busy hours. There are options for cones, cups, and pints to-go, which is great for those who want to stock up at home.
Why not five stars? Prices are on the higher side compared to other ice cream spots, and seating can be limited during peak times. Still, the quality and unique flavors justify the splurge for most customers.
Overall, Ben & Jerry’s is a solid choice for anyone craving premium ice cream with creative twists. If you love bold flavors and a fun atmosphere, this spot won’t disappoint.“

“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“

“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“

“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! :)“

“Loved the vibe and the decorations, the staff is amazing and you can't go wrong with some good ice cream! Great place to stop in and chill for a bit especially if you're in the neighborhood.“

“Great food. Great staff. Great people to have in the neighborhood.“

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

“The taste at Cold Stone Creamery is amazing! Every scoop is rich, creamy, and bursting with flavor. The mix-ins make each creation unique and delicious, and you can really tell the ingredients are fresh. Plus, the service is really good – the staff is friendly and quick, making the whole experience even better. If you’re looking for a flavour full ice cream treat with great service, Cold stone never disappoints!“

“Gabby who works here gave excellent customer service. She went above and beyond helping with an issue we had. She was very friendly, polite, and professional. It’s very difficult to find employees that give such great customer service and I hope her management knows what a valuable employee they have working here.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Well,..if you want a doughy, barely cooked sugar-bomb that’ll put any healthy person into diabetic shock, then this is the cookie for you. If your tastes buds have graduated past American grade school cafeteria fare, then you might want to avoid what this chain puts out. Bonus points for the self service menu screens cuz no one is going to help you and for the one employee declaring to another how they have the solution to end taxes.“

“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 :)“

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

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

“I have been to the Wayzata location many times and this time, went to the Uptown location. Staff is awesome 👍 and nice. Ice cream 🍦 is great. Super place for anyone to go for ice cream freshly made everyday! What ya waiting for? Go get your scoop!“

“We discovered Cardigan Donuts on our way to the Target Center for the Bruce Springsteen concert via the City Center skywalk, so we came back the next morning. Holy delish! We’re so glad we did! We tried the Old Fashioned, glazed blueberry cake and the strawberry rhubarb filled Bismarck. All three were wonderful - beautifully crafted, genuine tastes of powdered sugar, fruit…just real ingredients. The staff were super friendly and we even got a discount for being first timers! Thank you, Cardigan Donuts! - Fans from eastern Iowa“

“My daughter and I are here at 2:30 pm - the food is great actually. Just want to let the owner know I am witnessing the female manager yell at her male staff member loudly- it is unprofessional and I feel bad for him. She needs some coaching on kindness- she may be having a hard day but it isn’t okay to treat coworkers that way. I’m sure you wouldn’t want your employees treated this way. Update- Thanks to the owner for supporting his employees and for the yummy ice cream.“

“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!!!!!“

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

“I just want to give a shout out to the team that’s working there today! They went above and beyond to make sure an order that wasn’t delivered by DoorDash correctly was taken care of. It’s hard being away from family during holidays but they took care of our delivery issue so my daughter still could feel the love from her family.“

“fajita breakfast burrito is where it's at.“

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

“The food and atmosphere is always great! Even when they are short staffed, the employees do whatever they can to make us happy.“

“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“

“If you've never checked this place out before I highly recommended. it smells absolutely amazing in this place the staff are super amazing definitely check this place out if you're looking for cookies for a party! Two thumbs up the girl working gets 10 Stars“
