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

“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!!!!“

“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.“

“Conny's Creamy Cone is definitely worth the stop! It was very busy when we visited, so expect a bit of a wait—but that's usually a good sign. The menu has a huge selection of ice cream, shakes, sundaes, and treats, so there's something for everyone. If you're patient during the rush, you'll be rewarded with some really tasty ice cream. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“🔥🔥absolutely great service“

“We ordered a double scoop sugar cone with reeces pieces and Cookie Monster ice cream, & a single scoop of birthday cake. Incredible & unique selection of ice creams for a good value. Also, there’s a where’s Waldo in the ceiling :)“

“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 :)“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Love having this place in the community!“

“Such a neat little ice cream shop“

“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!“

“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.“

“The best DQ in the state. Something about the soft serve that stands out from the rest. I think it is the setting of the temperature and moisture control. They get it perfect. Also the service is quick and very friendly. He hires local kids and treats them well and they aer trained well.“

“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.“

“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 love this place! Cherry Pie sundae is the best! A menu of affogati!“

“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 wife and I have gone here twice in two weeks and plan to be regular customers. This place needs to be busier on these hot days. You're missing out if you aren't grabbing ice cream here. The menu can be intimidating, but the staff are super helpful and the ice cream is great.“

“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“

“Thank you for standing strong! Freedom is FOR ALL“

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

“Nice to have in the neighborhood. I believe all ice cream is Bridgeman’s, so you’re limited to the flavors that they make that are carried by Parkview - I’m not sure if they rotate much, if at all. Waffle cones were just average in taste and leaked everywhere, despite our best efforts. Some flavors looked much fresher than others, but we were fine with what we got!“

“Amazing shakes and teas! Great variety of flavors. Something to please everyone!“

“Bubble waffles are amazing!!! The rolled ice cream is delicious 💜“

“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“

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

“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!“

“Long Live Waffle Cones!!!“

“OMG!!!! This places is magnificent, delicious, perfection!!!! Best ice cream, desserts, and amazing customer service! I had a freshly made waffle in a cup with delicious ice cream and oreo toppings.
Please stop by and you won’t regret it.“

“🍦 chilli dog was very good“

“Very good Iced cream the best of Minnesota“

“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“

“Absolutely loved this place. The Thai boat noodles were rich, savory, and full of authentic flavor. You can tell a lot of care goes into the food here. Great service 10/10 overall“

“We would recommend the Eagan Crumbl location for a cookie fix. The location is clean and the cookies are baked thoroughly, which is appreciated. We do not recommend the Apple Valley Crumbl location as it is usually dirty and sometimes the cookies are not baked tbrough. Eagan Crumbl seems better managed.“

“Excellent ice cream and customer service!“

“Oh, gosh, Sprinkles is pretty darn tasty. There are so many flavors and toppings, it can be almost overwhelming. The huge variety of flavors means you can try something new every time you visit, whether you want to completely change up from cone to malt to shake, add some brownies or sprinkles or bananes, or maybe you just want to play it safe and stick with your tried and true favorite flavor. My partner and I love to stop by Sprinkles for a tasty frozen treat any time, especially in the hot summer evenings.

The cherry on top is the unique, historic building that Sprinkles is located in - once the original MN Dairy Queen and an icon from my childhood. You just can't beat the large glass windows and neon lights!“

“I can't stop thinking about the dream burger. best tasting burger and fries Ive ever had.“

“I did a custom photo cake for my son's birthday. Danielle was super responsive, helpful, and kind. her customer service is fantastic, and I'll go out of my way to purchase from this DQ in the future. thanks!“

“To ever made my Granddaughters Graduation Ice Cream Cake, You Rock! Awesome Job! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Very Happy Grandma, Cheryl Condon“

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

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

“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“

“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.“
