44 Best Ice Cream Shops near Little Canada

“Food was great. Ordered 10 pizzas do grandsons birthday party and was all good.“

“Great Customer Service! Friendly and professional. Food is always fresh! Love the assistant manager! I eat/order at Culver twice a week!“

“Freaking amazing classic hand scooped ice cream. Crazy flavors and highly recommend the "This $&@! Just Got Crazy"... yea, its that good.We also got to meet the owners too. This is truly the local small business experience you should be supporting. You just have to stop by and see for yourself.“

“Great place to stop by for an ice cream! Tons of soft serve choices which is my favorite and somewhat hard to find a dedicated place for it. I've had a couple varieties but honestly I'm a sucker for pistachio soft serve and this is one of the few places around that has it!

The staff is friendly and works through the line quick enough. It's not really a place you can come and sit down to eat although there's a couple picnic tables nearby that you can eat at if you want.

I haven't tried anything but their ice cream yet, but based on their ice cream I'm sure it's delicious! I'll make sure to update my review if I ever do!“

“Just discovered this little gem in White Bear Lake! Amazing gelato and locally owned by an incredible family! The kids and I have already gone several times and plan to head back soon.“

“We visited this charming (looked like family owned) ice cream shop for the first time, and it was well worth the 25-minute drive! We came across it on fb and just had to try them out. They have so many flavors to choose from. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making us feel right at home. The outdoor play area for kids and comfortable outdoor seating were perfect for a relaxed family outing. We'll definitely be coming back and recommending this delightful spot to our friends and family. Highly recommend!“

“got a old school vanilla cone they got 4 different cones variety of ice cream cool laid back place“

“It's a good-old-fasioned DQ with outdoor seating only. They do a nice job of hiring and training their young staff to be friendly and attentive. I stop by at least a couple times a month during their long season (March-October at least) and always look forward to a good experience. Nice co-customers, too!

Parking: Parking is like, RIGHT there.

Kid-friendliness: If anybody spills, no problem -- it's all outside!“

“All the ice cream things you would expect from a place shaped like an old dairy queen but add DELICIOUS MEXICAN FOOD and AMAZING espresso drinks. Tasty burgers, chicken strips and fries. Then tamales, in a few varieties including oaxaca! Icecream cakes, flurries, churros, tacos, espresso, friendly fast service. Great for kids!

Google asked me to update my review: don't sleep on the coffee. The owner owns an espresso farm
Love this place.“

“Love having this place in the community!“

“We tried for the first time tonight and I was/am pleasantly surprised at the portions of Ice Cream one gets. It's affordable and very good. I will definitely make referrals and return again and again.“

“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 :)“

“The ice cream is delicious but also wanted to shout-out the fantastic customer service. I'm sorry I didn't catch the names of the two young men working tonight, but they were great. The main person we interacted with had a baseball cap and a red shirt. My son wanted a GOCO taco which wasn't available tonight, but he made a recommendation to help him get something close to what he wanted. He was also very patient with my younger son who made a mess of the used spoon cup. I would have been irritated, but he handled it with a lot of patience and grace!

Thanks guys! We'll see you again soon.“

“We are frequent customers of Nelson’s storefront in St Paul (Highland Park) and we decided to have them cater dessert at our wedding. It was a big hit with our guests! We had two scoopers who kept the line for ice cream moving quickly. While we wanted to include waffle cones after we signed our contract and paid for them after the fact, they did not make it to the venue. Our contact Abby made it right and refunded that portion as well as some extra for the inconvenience. We will be back when they open back up in the summer!“

“Today 4-20-2025 I went to this location two young girls were working around 1:30 pm and I order a small Oreo Blizzard but was charged for a Medium size instead. I come here for weeks now and I know how much for the small and it’s 4.69. and not 5.15. Any ways update: 4-22-2025 around 2pm went to this location and told them about this small incident and younger lady cashier she apologized and So I bought a medium sized Oreo blizzard and got a upgraded to large to balanced it off. Thx ladies! That’s what I called taking care of your customers! I will be back again and again! Now it’s 5 stars not 1 star lols“

“Love this place. A true East Side gem. We have tried the Burgers, Shawarma wrap and bowls totally addicting. Chicken tenders are a hit and don't forget the Gyros they are awesome. Ice cream better than the DQ. Try to visit there one a week. The owners are lovely, very friendly.“

“Love this place !!! Amazing can’t wait to go back it was wonderful“

“Very welcoming workers, delicious foods, and good portions for the price! Brought my friends here after dinner for my birthday. The owner was sweet enough to pay for my dessert. We also tried the game that they have to get a free popsicle and one of friends won. They also gave us free samples afterward because they were doing content.“

“This icecream, everytime i go, I can taste the flavor itself, mixed with the sweetness or the ice cream itself. Unlike other ice cream shops, the same flavor never gets old, since everytime i take a bite, the flavor always feels brand new

Anyways my family and I love going to this icecream shop and it's amazing!“

“Luv Ice Cream is a fantastic shop to visit. Their ice cream is delicious! The owners are very welcoming and knowledgeable. We could have talked for hours! There are so many choices for vegan and keto conscious patrons. If you want wonderful sugar free options this is your store!“

It was wonderful working with Tim at Cold Stone Creamery Thank you!“

“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.“

“Amazing customer service!!! They gladly made me a custom BLIZZARD using two dairy-frre Dilly Bars and wine Reeses Peanut Butter Cups. YUMMY!“

“Culver’s has the best Butter Burger’s - North Atlantic Cod & famous Custard of the day! I have been going to the Vadnais Heights Culver’s for several years! The friendly staff is “Impeccable “ I always buy the Calendars & Gift Cards! Thank You Culver’s for supporting our Farmers! 5 Golden Stars! 😊“

“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.“

“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 love love loveeeee the Robert street store! The manager is amazing (I call her my cookie lady) she is always giving me her recommendations and once when I told her I didn’t like I flavor I bought from another store she said pick one out I’ll give it to you for free - she didn’t need to do that- and I didn’t accept but her customer service is above and beyond!!!!“
