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.“

“My favorite place for a sandwich! Their menu slowly rotates which I really appreciate. They mainly have sandwiches, and also a couple of salads that are super yummy, too. Generous portions. I haven’t had a sandwich from here that I didn’t like! Their storefront is quaint with only a couple of bar seats for dining in, so best to take out. They also have a great selection of local beverages.“

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

“Tastes good and good ambience I wish I could take some pictures 🫠🫠 it’s okay though I loved it while watching the theme and good organic ice creams and that joy cone had glue while eating please make sure cones are good quality“

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

“Fantastic flavors, great service!“

“I came here later in the night and they were so very acomadating and kind, my friend is pregnant and the nice lady (didn’t ask for her name unfortunately) made us fresh horchata after they ran out, cause my friend was craving it. And it was definitely absolutely delicious I will be coming back here and you should too!“

“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.“

“Very good Iced cream the best of Minnesota“

“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!“

“I ordered a fudge Carmel drizzle ice cream cake for a grad party. Nothing in the middle or on the bottom. It came just plan white. I reached out and was contacted by the manager who was very nice and helped make the situation better.
The ice cream is phenomenal!“

“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“

“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.“

“Todo súper rico 😋 comida fresca y sus helados muy exquisitos“

“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“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

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

“Super friendly staff is always a pleasure to eat there“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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“

“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!“

“I debated leaving this review, but I think others might feel the same. I’m giving 4 stars because I don’t want to tank the overall rating but honestly, that doesn't reflect my personal experience or that of my friends.

Charging $5 for a single cookie just feels... off. Even accounting for overhead, the actual cost to make one cookie is way* less than $5. That kind of markup feels excessive- especially right now, when so many of us are being nickel-and-dimed from every direction.

I was genuinely excited to have a cookie shop nearby to satisfy those “I just want one good chocolate chip cookie” cravings. But at $5 each, the cookie would need to be exceptional. Instead, it tasted more like something factory-made than homemade, and my friends and I even wondered if they’re baked in-house at all.
Disappointing, to say the least. A more reasonable price could turn this place into a local gem. Right now, it just feels like a missed opportunity.“

“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!“

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

“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!!!!!“

“The restraunt space is BEAUTIFUL. I have not tried the food yet only the desserts, bionico is on point the ice creams and Popsicles are delicious and its in such a convenient place, they have indoor and outdoor seating so you can enjoy your food or treats or both, the vibes are really viking, if you have not gone you have to try it out. Everything is very fresh“

“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“
