40 Best Ice Cream Shops near North Oaks

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

“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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“Very good Iced cream the best of Minnesota“

“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!“

“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“

“Went for a quick little treat with my family! Delicious as always. They have a new mango and tropical flavor - SOO good!“

“The coffee and treats were fantastic recommended to everybody“

“We had such an amazing time and the gal working was the absolute sweetest. Thank you so much!! Definitely worth the stop!“

“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 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“

“Been going there for years. So good!“

“Love this place!!! The ice cream is amazing with so many flavors and the staff is incredible! So happy to have them in our neighborhood!“

“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!“

“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.

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Good service and food. We were there right before closing. Great job“

“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 ??“

“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!“

“Bennett took our order at the window and was absolutely wonderful! He had the most efficient service and greeted us with the brighter smile. he changed the trajectory of me and my friends nights. This man deserves the highest raise possible. 10/10 service from Bennett.“

“Okay not sure which one Google's trying to tell me to review but if this is the one on St Anthony then they have cherries not a lot of The dairy Queen's do anymore they also have orange Julius which was a big one for me I love that, it taste like nostalgia“

“I have visited here many times.
I appreciate the friendly customer service and their professionalism.
I have spoke on basic terms with the owner.
I just wanted to say thank you all for all you do keeping things as they were.
Great taste of my preferences and such kind employees.
Service with a smile.
All day everyday.
Thank you!“

“Absolutely incredible salads! I wish I could buy the salad dressing. Top notch.“

“So sad to see so many DQ closing 😢.

Stopped by here to grab ice cream with the kiddos as the one down the street on Larpenteur and Lexington closed down. They were busy but service was fast! They have a large parking spot and some picnic tables outside for eating. What's great? Playground and park right across the street!“

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

“Not an inexpensive fast food restaurant but their burgers are very good! They have prepacked pints of ice cream in many, many flavors. The ice cream is so rich and creamy....a must if you go!
The location is very clean and staff are friendly.“

“Great night for
Culver’s. Speedy service and not much of a line. Food was great as usual no issues with my order. The dogs approved of their pup cups. Somehow only one onion ring was in the bag when I made it home so that’s a mystery for next time“

“Nothing better than going to Dairy Queen for some soft serve ice cream. It's the best!!

However, the DQ in Plymouth off Rockford Road needs their employees better trained for customer service. They were very rude to me when I asked them if I could buy a bunch (4 boxes) of dilly bars and buster bars for my crew. They said I could only buy one box, as they just opened and need to leave the rest of the dilly and busterbars for other customers. Just thought that was a bit strange to restrict my purchase of buying more. One particular young man at the counter represented poor customer service by his attitude. Maybe they were afraid they'd have to make more or reload the freezer? Not sure what his issue was but I even tried to give him the benefit of a doubt and make him smile, but no luck.“

“Had a mushroom burger was dripping in grease that it went all over my lap. Came back to get the custard scoop for the kids . Waited a long time to get the one scoop for 2 kids. The giant group of over 8 that came in behind us got their full meal before we got out simple scoop of ice cream.
I still like culvers just a werid visit. The staff were chatting too much with customers as they walked by and you could tell they were a little bothered and wanted to be left to enjoy their meals.“
