“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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Absolutely loved our first trip here! Amazing flavors, perfect sizes, and great prices. Thrilled we found this amazing shop.“

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

“I absolutely adore this Cold Stone. Specifically Eden & Cai. I have Celiac disease and I order with an allergy notice and I have never gotten sick at this location. Cai is always so diligent about making my ice cream from a new box and in a separate container with new spoons. Eden is so sweet, today she asked me “have you done anything fun today?” so then we had a great conversation about hockey. Great conversations with people really make me feel better about the world! Thank you, Eden. :)“

“Very good Iced cream the best of Minnesota“

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

“There is Just Something about the old School Neighborhood Dairy Queens that give You such a Great, wholesome feeling in the summer!“

“The cookies are amazing and delicious! They are a little pricey, but totally worth it! We love to get different cookies and split them so we can all get a taste. The service is quick and easy, and the restaurant is clean. I highly recommend“

“Delish! Fresh ice cream and agua frescas were awesome!“

“I had a small issue at the other Dairy Queen on white bear we came here hoping to have a better experience and we did just that ! I believe the man might have been a a manger and he was so polite and respectful! We re ordered the same stuff as we did at the previous DQ and are food here was good and sundae was made with love ❤️ that made my daughters day ! And we will continue coming back thank you for your hard work“

“Service was great and the beef boat noodles is very savory. My new fav spot for boat noodles. Their cucumber salad was on point too! I finished the cucumber and took the sauce home because it was that delicious! What a hidden gem! Will be returning for sure and will be trying their other dishes. First time in a long time finding a restaurant where I was “Wow’d”. Must try!!“

“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 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!!!!“

“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 placed an order through the app last week to get to the store and find it closed due to illness. It was a bit frustrating that evening. I did finally speak to the store manager who promptly gave a credit to my account. Thank you for making it right. Unexpected things happen, thank you for being pleasant and making the correction.“

“It’s 85 degrees out, the ice cream and vibes here are immaculate. Best ice cream I’ve ever had, the portions are insaaaane. One of the workers in the back is singing to the music they’re playing and everything is 10/10. It’s my first time here and I will always be a fan!“

“Super friendly staff, fast service even on busy days, and the best blizzards around! The employees always have a smile on their faces, and the one time a mistake was made on my order, not only did they fix it, they offered me a refund for having to wait a few minutes for them to correct it. Best ice cream in the neighborhood!“

“It's small, it's a decent place to stop by for a QUICK SNACK (not a whole ass dairy aisle.) The place is run by mostly youth so that the owner can save money, they're cool and understandable people now that the last ghetto ass staff was fired. (Creeps frequent this place too.) The place is pretty pricey to buy from and it's better to go if there are promotional events or you use the app.

“Ice creams... what makes it different from similar ones is that one can choose the extra ingredients and they mix and integrate them as part of the ice cream, that is, it does not remain as a topping or topping.

For me, if they were a little less sweet they would be excellent and if there was a smaller size option it would be great.

Excellent service ??“

“Came after receiving a giftcard for my birthday. Extremely limited room to dine in here, but there are a number of tables outside for when the weather is fair. My ice cream shake was tasty - I'd forgotten they use real strawberries - and the staff member was polite.“

“I'm pretty obsessed with everything I've tried. And now I've turned on family members as well.“

“We used The Cherry on Top this last weekend for our wedding and we could not be happier! From the beginning Jessica was very kind and easy to work with. All of our guests were raving about their ice cream! Thank you so much for being part of our big day!“

“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.“
