25 Best Ice Cream Shops near Long Lake

“Ever since trying the ice cream at the Chocolate Ox in Nisswa- I’ve been searching for a local place to find the deliciousness that only “the chocolate shoppe” out of Madison provides. Shiverz does not disappoint. They feature some of the best combos including “Superman” and “Zanzibar” and “this just got serious”. Do yourself a favor and try some flavors!! You will NOT regret it. Not even one letter.“

“Scoop shops are the place to get a hand packed pint of vanilla & this is the best vanilla. I can get pint size of the sorbet which I've not seen in store. I had a lemonade & berry smoothie that was just perfect.

I highly recommend hitting up this spot. Parking was mess and I would probably go back much later to avoid crowds.

Expensive but a very nice treat.“

“I love that we have a place like this in Victoria and it's great for the kids. I just wish they had better non dairy options like oat or coconut ice cream so I could enjoy it too! the sorbet is fine but it just makes me wish it eas.oce cream.“

“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! :)“

“Love love the trolley. I’ve Photograph it so many times. Lost track. The ice cream is always a must. Love the chairs. Hmmm. Can we have more there?? Hee hee“

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

“I’ve gone to this particular location countless times. It’s easily the most convenient one, especially if you order carryout from the app. You’ll only be waiting for a few minutes at the most before you get your cookies. Will always return to the 101/7 location.“

“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!“

“This crumbl is phenomenal compared to any other I’ve visited! They excel at doing the most for their customers, and one of the employees stand out the most! I think her name was Sadie?? I’m not 100% I’m pretty sure though! She had a smile on her face and greeted me so nicely when I walked in. She is an angel! This store was so clean and welcoming I drive over an hour to go to this location just because of the staff! Thank you guys for being awesome!!“

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

“This place was the best location for Häagen-Dazs I've discovered. Very quick for 1 person working for the amount of costumers who lined. I was very impressed by the knowledge of that individual. She has great attitude and works fast. Ice cream varieties were large and tasted fresh. Actually fresh. This place left a big impression on me and has definitely reminded me of my sweet childhood days.“

“It was very good. And enjoyed it. It is a nice treat. And I work hard and taking care of my family. And giving care with people who have disabilities. And I do house cleaning for a adult day care center. So the people I service. And that my co workers stay well. For the people we take care of them. To have a independent life and to live the best they can to live.and to enjoy other people. To have friends. And to have a good life. Thank you.“

“Romeo would like to thank this Culver’s for making him his very last gigantic vanilla Sunday this morning 02/10/2022 at 10:00 am! He had half now and will have the other half before it’s time to say goodbye! Only the best for the very best dog✨ 💖💟 Thank you Culver’s employees for making his morning tasty.“

“Culver's is fast food. Its not like McDonald's. Whats different is they do have different salads to choose from I think 3 kinds. They serve chili and other soups. Sometimes chicken noodle . They have chicken strips kids meals with a free scoop of ice cream. They have grilled cheese sandwiches. They have pretzel bites and onion rings They have custard icecream chocolate or vanilla. And different sundae dishes. My sons enjoys eating at Culver's. And my adult son with autism likes me to get his meals there. When he works at dollar tree as being a cashier thier. And works long hours on Sunday. I usually run there to get him and his boss lunch. And his co workers jump in with the boss and my son. So then I had a big food order to pick up for all the workers at dollar tree and they enjoyed having thier lunch break. Its Quick to get a meal if you order on line. Its reasonable price. It can cost alot if you order alot of food and getting drinks or shakes and custard Icecream. But if you feel like it's too much for your budget. The value meals cost more. But as a parent. I would order the kids meal for myself to save money. The food is good. But I wouldn't eat it everyday. Because then you would get tired of the same foods. But the service is good. Plenty of parking. And you can eat inside or take the order to go. Thank you. I hope this helps.“

“We purchased two dozen cookies online and had a gift card for a third dozen

For some reason their gift cards were not working online, so we went in the store to pick up and they were not working in store either.

We needed to pick up the cookies to deliver to our daughter for her birthday for her soccer team.

The manager on duty, let us take the cookies and trusted that I had the correct amount on the gift card.

FANTASTIC SERVICE!!

this was on October 2 Wednesday, So whoever the young lady was on duty gets the credit for going above and beyond.“

“Fresh Ice Cream with great Taste. Came across awesome and energetic crew.“

“The ordering to go was amazingly fast. No sitting in a one hour drive through backup! Who knew!!!“

“Thank you Culver’s of Maple Grove for the great fast lunch. Special thanks to Nan who was so patient taking our order with all the changes as we’re teaching the younger kids how to place their orders“

“I placed an online order but I forgot to switch it to the bloomington location. So it was placed here at EP Culvers.
So when I realized, I called them and rushed over. The manager was this Latino fella. When I explained my stupid mistake to him, he had his team re-make my order fresh!
Goddamn! That's great service! Thank you Latino dude and culvers team!“

“Found a heart in my Flavor of the Day (FOTD)!

How much better can it get?

This location had tissue in the bathrooms, as in nose or facial tissue.

The restrooms were clean.

The staff was friendly.

The parking was easy.

The dining area was clean and orderly.

The trash cans were clean and emptied.

5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!!“

“Amazing service, delicious ice cream and overall great people! My whole team and I stopped for a nice ice cream treat and we paid with our company card. Of course I lost my receipt, I called to see if they can help find my transaction (2weeks later) they were so sweet and found my receipt and emailed me. Love this place, come over and get yourself a fabulous treat and great vibes ✨️“

“A quick go to place for a fast and affordable dinner meal. I visited this location several times and I always find it to be clean, consistent, and fast. The dining area is definitely an upgrade when compared with McDonald's, Burger King, or even Wendy's. I've never had a service issue here where there was a problem with my order.“

“It very good“

“Drive through had about eight cars, and we all came just after one another. I was surprised to see the line move at a pretty good pace. Ended up getting a Reeses Peanut Butter Cup. The quick line, prompt reception of the order once at the window and great standard taste keeps me coming back!“
