23 Best Ice Cream Shops in Saint Paul

“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.“

“Fresh seasonal flavors that are constantly becoming new favorites. I love that everything is a very hands on and not crazy processed like most foods. Try oatmeal cookie or grasshopper if you can.“

“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!“

“🔥🔥absolutely great service“

“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 :)“

“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 :)“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“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“

“I debated leaving this review, but I think others might feel the same. I’m giving 4 stars because I don’t want to tank the overall rating but honestly, that doesn't reflect my personal experience or that of my friends.

Charging $5 for a single cookie just feels... off. Even accounting for overhead, the actual cost to make one cookie is way* less than $5. That kind of markup feels excessive- especially right now, when so many of us are being nickel-and-dimed from every direction.

I was genuinely excited to have a cookie shop nearby to satisfy those “I just want one good chocolate chip cookie” cravings. But at $5 each, the cookie would need to be exceptional. Instead, it tasted more like something factory-made than homemade, and my friends and I even wondered if they’re baked in-house at all.
Disappointing, to say the least. A more reasonable price could turn this place into a local gem. Right now, it just feels like a missed opportunity.“

“Great food. Great staff. Great people to have in the neighborhood.“

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

“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“

“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!“

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

“@Todd Goodwin. Insomnia didn't give you a cookie cake. You may have ordered a cookie cake and they gave you a deluxe cookie by mistake. The location messed up your order I'm thinking. Insomnia's cookie cakes are BIG! Just wanted to let you know.“
