44 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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Great soft serve! The workers we interacted with were very friendly. A little more outside seating (a couple benches?) would be nice. One family was there and they took up all the picnic table seating.

Parking: There is a small free lot, but it was nearly full. I don't know if it's a shared lot with another business, because there definitely weren't that many customers at Conny's.

Kid-friendliness: It's ice cream! Very kid friendly!

Wheelchair accessibility: You order outside the building at a window and there are no stairs from the parking lot, so pretty easy maneuvering for a wheelchair.“

“They have great subs and the cones are wonderful. Keep up the great work.“

“It’s a great addition to Saint Paul! I had a Brownie ice cream cone which was delicious! I also purchased 3 different Helados and was very pleased to see the Pecan Helado! Thank you!“

“Super good and gorgeous to take pictures there!“

“Truly amazing, unique, one of a kind homemade ice cream flavors“

“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.“

“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 greeted right when we walked in and asked how we were doing when we arrived. We weren't pressed to pick quickly which I appreciated. She was so kind and patient with us. We tried superman, caramel collision, and zanzibar. So good! Price was great too! We liked looking in the store too.“

“This place has been in my list of places to try for some time now. Happened to find myself in the area, and decided to go and try it. Servers are amazing! They know their menu, and are glad to give any recommendations. They recommended their Tex-Mex Breakfast Burrito, and it was fantastic! I will definitely eat here again!“

“Stopped here to celebrate the start of the school year. We sat outside on the nice patio and the staff offered our kids some chalk and bubbles which was a great friendly & personal touch. We had mango, chocolate and salted caramel gelato and a chocolate shake. They were all really good. We also got a basket of fries and cheese curds, both were good. We will be back to try food.

It was a great neighborhood spot that we hope to frequent and I would recommend to friends and neighbors to check out.“

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

“We love going to Luv for ice cream and other goodies Great staff and owners make going here even better!“

“Best Dairy Queen in Saint Paul and surrounding cities. The banana splits are cheap and pretty big for what you pay. Workers are friendly, and this is owned by a nice couple. Only 4 stars because area is not great. They close early now at 8pm. Go when it's light out. Also, they accept tips. I tipped two bucks because these young workers deserve it. Grew up in the area and love that they're still open.“

“We would give the Pizza a 4.5 out of 5. Yum! Those we interacted with on the phone and at the Pizzeria were very pleasant, we'll be back. Thank you!“

“One of the best and most unique cafes to visit on long wintery days in Minnesota. It gives you that Dubai vibe, and a great place you should check out.“

“I am at Culver's in the building volunteering with the Red Cross. Culver's generously pairs with the Red Cross to help with the blood drives. They are even giving coupons to the donors for a free pint of Custard as a reward for donating!
I frequent this Culver's often but usually use the drive thru. The food and service I receive from the drive thru has always been excellent but I think from now on I will go inside! Why? Because their employees are so friendly and welcoming! They welcome you as you come in and remember so many of their customers! These employees can do what other fast food places can't seem to do. And that is to be very welcoming and friendly yet fast and accurate! The manager, John C doesn't just check on the customers, but also on his employees!! No wonder the employees are so happy - they're appreciated and cared for by John C! That's a trickle down theory I can get behind! Keep it up Vadnais Heights Culver's!“

“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 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.

“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!“

“We stopped by a couple of days ago. My wife has a dairy allergy, very bad one. I asked if the chicken strips had dairy in the breading. They were not sure but worked the problem till they got the answer. I want to thank them because it appeared to be new to them but they took their time and got it. I appreciate that, thank you.“

“My dad and I are celiac and have to eat gluten free so we weren’t going to be able to eat the DQ cake because of the crunch. I went in and the woman working said she could switch out the crunch for M&Ms. Not only was she able to make the cake the same day (6 hours notice) there was no additional fee for “gluten free”. I so appreciate the extra accommodations they make for their clients.“

“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!“

“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 ??“

“Culver's, classic frozen custard and burgers what more could you want? Only reason for 4 stars is this is one of the busiest Culver's I've seen and the drive thru lines can be lengthy. But they are remodeling to have dual drive thrus soon so this likely won't be an issue in the near future“

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

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

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

“I like the strawberry sundae at dairy queen. I like that they strawberry syrup is not very sweet and it doesn’t seem a factory-made syrup to me. Also I like this store specially since there is seats inside and outside also the staff are friendly.“

“Butter burgers all the way!! I also can not go to culvers without ordering a turtle sundae as they definitely don't skimp on the hot Fudge, caramel, OR pecans!! I love their cheese curds too... Love that they give back to local schools too. Culvers participated regularly at my sons elementary school for fundraising. Thank you so much!“

“We don't go to get ice cream much anymore due to the high prices of both the treats and the gas to get there so when we are able to go for ice cream it is a REAL treat!

Kid-friendliness: There were several people with children there and even one person feeding ice cream to her dog.“

“I’ve had a couple orders, not seem like the normal way I usually receive them. Had a blizzard I basically had to mix up myself so it would look like chocolate. Think they forgot an ingredient. I worked at a DQ when I was younger so I get it. ( I did the same thing one time) Just need more training. Otherwise service is usually decently fast even when busy!“

“This place is cute and vibrant, kid friendly, nice helpful staff, and a welcoming atmosphere. The frozen yogurts and sorbets are delicious, and there's a wide variety of topping options to choose from. The shop itself is tidy. You can tell they keep up good maintenance on the machine dispensers, and clean and rotate the toppings stations.My littles love going here for a special treat. ?

Kid-friendliness: It's bright, colorful, has a tele, and good dessert with lots of topping options.“
