“Would’ve given them 5* but they keep running out of Oreo cheesecake! It’s the best flavour in the world and they keep such a small stock this is the 5th time I’ve gone and found out it’s sold out. Oreo cheesecake should be a flavour they keep all the time, if it keeps running out! demand == supply, it’s really maths. Anyway bury me with Oreo cheesecake that flavour is top 2 not 2“

“Flapdoodles was recommended by a local in the area and they did not disappoint. The ice cream is excellent and extremely creamy! Lots of different flavors as well. The only negative thing was the ice cream holders, that were shaped like a boat. Difficult to take with you, if your not eating the ice cream at the store. Otherwise excellent ice cream! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is in the area visiting Mayo Clinic or passing by. I highly recommend!!“

“The oldest Dairy Queen in Minnesota and it was delightful! Nice sized portions and love the retro-feel. No complaints here! Well, the almost-required gratuity ask was a bit cringey, but if that's what is needed to keep employees, so be it. they were organized!“

“We own Midwest LifeShots Photography and recently had a fundraiser event in which all of our proceeds go to a local family in need. We reached out to Stam after a few others had turned us down and asked if they would be willing to donate some of their products to the families who were attending our event. They IMMEDIATELY got back to us with an enthusiastic YES!! They went above and beyond and donated a pack of medallions to each and every family. As fellow local business owners, it speaks VOLUMES to us when a business not only helps another business but doesn’t even think twice about helping the community. They will consistently have our support. Thank you!!!“

“Love this DQ! I used to live near it many years ago and loved being able to walk to it. There's just something about standing outside ordering your treat that takes you back to a time when life was simpler. Everything taste like it should and the service is top notch. It can get busy at night as a lot of youth sports teams tend to stop there.“

Cold Stone Creamery Ice Cream Shop • $$
3780 Marketplace Dr NW Ste 111, Rochester

“From the moment we walked in and greeted with a happy smile hello to an accommodating substitute of a mix in to the FULL mixed bowl of ice cream...we knew THIS location cares!!!
We have visited numerous Cold Stone Creamery from around the country...and had begun to rethink CSC due to most having grumpy non-caring employees, rarely fill the bowl and do not ask for a substituted mix in.
Was so refreshing to have such a POSITIVE experience at this location. Thank You for bringing real customer service back!! Will see you again soon!“

“Crumbl Cookies is always fun with its rotating weekly menu and big, indulgent flavors. I love their super thick chocolate chip cookie, but I’m also a fan of their super thin version because the bottom caramelizes and gives it a perfect sweet crunch. I was also surprised by how much I enjoyed the Dubai Chocolate Cheesecake cookie even though I don’t normally like cheesecake. Great flavors, huge cookies and always something new to try.“
