22 Best Ice Cream Shops near Lake Elmo

“Stopped in a few times with my kids over the summer, and always had a great experience. Happy staff and quick scoops! I do wish there was better seating available. Ice cream isn't really something you buy and then drive off with (it will melt before you get home!), but the outdoor seating left something to be desired. The last time i went, every chair outside had something spilled on it, and limited picnic table options. It was their first summer, and i think they are sharing this seating with the pizza place, so i'm sure they are still working out the kinks.

I also want to call out how impressed i am with the creamery's dedication to the Lake Elmo community. They have participated in a few of the local events that happen here annually, and it really helps the events be successful, and puts the LEC in a really positive light. Keep up the great work!!“

“My daughter and I went here because I was on the search for an amazing Affogato. They did not disappoint. The owner was super sweet to my daughter and pulled strawberry gelato out of the freezer even though it wasn’t on their menu that day. All of the gelato we had was amazing and the customer service was even more amazing. We give this place 5 out of 5 stars, and we will definitely be back. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Really good experience at the Culver’s in Woodbury Minnesota. Doing curbside and a shake tipped over in my car and the guy who brought it out was nice enough to go get towels and a new shake. Definitely did not have to do that. It was completely my fault, but he went above and beyond For customer that is a rare thing to find“

“Best Dairy Queen in all of Wisconsin! They are fast, fresh and service is amazing!! They made me the most majestic custom cake for my birthday!“

“I ordered a simple plain cheeseburger with extra cheese at the drive-thru. They were quick and the burger was almost too hot too eat, something that's unusual for a fast food restaurant. It was delicious and just what I was looking for.“

“12/27/25 Noon. Not very busy. This is the first time we ate inside as we usually just go and get a blizzard and take it with us. The food came quick and we barely sat down and there it was. The cashier was busy cleaning tables in between customers and sometimes talking to the staff in the kitchen. I took a picture of the meals we ordered and we'd already eaten a little bit at that point and it was good. Many drink choices and the condiments are behind the counter except for a ketchup dispenser buy the drinks. It was quiet so a good place to sit and talk since only four tables were occupied. Wear a coat. It's cold in the restaurant and the food cools off almost immediately. Two different stations running on the TVs without volume but you could read the captions. Pretty common and fast food that we've been to. The toilet was a little dirty and could have used some touch up in the restroom. There is parking by the front door but we noticed most people park adjacent to the drive through and then walk across to get in.“

“Good service and food. We were there right before closing. Great job“

“I’m enthusiastic to report that this Culvers was amazing! The food was absolutely divine! There were a decent amount of food options available! The staff was amicable and so delightful! The wait time was not terribly long. (Although past times I’ve been here, the wait has been long. The drive through typically takes a while😅) There was plenty of seating options available and the place was kept fairly clean! My dining experience at Culver’s was top notch! I will definitely be coming back to this Culver’s on a regular basis!I totally recommend coming here! There was also a lot of parking!“

“Not an inexpensive fast food restaurant but their burgers are very good! They have prepacked pints of ice cream in many, many flavors. The ice cream is so rich and creamy....a must if you go!
The location is very clean and staff are friendly.“

“I ordered on the app, for some reason it didnt come over. I had to show the worker my order. The burgers were more dry than the last time and my bacon was missing. Going with 4 stars because the last burger i had was good and the employee was friendly.“
