40 Best Ice Cream Shops in Minneapolis

“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!!!!“

“Always a unique selection, friendly service and great tasting ice cream! I need to make up excuses to treat myself. :) The apple crisp and oatmeal raison cookie flavors are 👌“

“Some of the best sandwiches in the twin cities! The bread is unbeatable and they have something for everyone on their menu. The staff is incredibly friendly and the deli, although small, is very cozy and welcoming.

Some standouts on the menu:
Arlo - super gooey and delicious take on a chopped cheese. A great pick when you want the warm hug of a hot sandwich.

Finn - This vegetarian sandwich is sure to please pretty much anyone with fresh falafel, creamy goat cheese, and just a little heat from the peppers

Roman - I typically don't like ham sandwiches, but the turkey/ham combo on this sandwich combined with the classic toppings make this a craveable classic.“

“Best ice cream in the Northwest Metro. Lots of unusual flavors. Their coffee ice cream is soooo good. They let you sample any flavor.“

“Love having this place in the community!“

“The decoration and greenery is something ive never seen in a ice cream shop. The courtyard garden wow....and the ice cream is great. It was my first time there and nice employees. They dont allow pictures inside due to others privacy. I can see how that can get outta hand cause its so unique likes someone's house and garden.“

“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.“

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

“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“

“Omg I moved to Minneapolis over 2 years ago and thought there were no DQs for me...then while meandering in the Skyway I found this place!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!
I immediately got a smoothie and their pretzels with cheese, perfect post school snack! The dude behind the counter was incredibly friendly and in my hangry state I almost chose an Orange Julius over a smoothie but he kindly explained the difference.
I will be coming here regularly because DQ is the greatest and also the workers are nice. Yay!!!!!“
