50 Best Ice Cream Shops near St. Louis Park

“A HUGE thanks to Chris for being kind enough to personally reply to my inquiry just one day prior to the #pullingtogether event with an ingredients listing of the scrumptious frozen treats offered during the event. We loved the ice lollies #GFCF options; all were absolutely delightful! #hashtug #friendsoffraser“

“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!!!!“

“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.“

“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 👌“

“FARRO SALAD & Falafel sandwich, this I my order! The combination of the perfectly dressed farrow salad, fresh whole herbs and that mysterious flake on the outside of the sandwich bread keeps me coming back! This is now my destination for a healthy quick lunch! In fact I go out of my way to get it! More than 5 stars if I could do it!!!“

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

“Excellent! All fresh ingredients! Such an amenity to downtown Edina ! And walking distance from 🏠 home ! Ice Cream 🍨 😀👍 Very reasonably priced“

“I've been looking forward to my first visit here and I wasn't disappointed. The overall beauty and Italian/European vibe this place, has me in love. The ice cream is also beautiful and delicious. I had (if I remember correctly): Blood Orange Gelato, Strawberry Lemonade Gelato and Asian Lemon Sherbet. The customer service is fast and friendly. This is now my go to place for a cool treat.“

“Such a neat little ice cream shop“

“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!“

“20/10!!! The service was amazing! I did not get the name of the person who helped me but they made our night! So helpful as we had never been before. They went out of their way to let us try multiple flavors and make recommendations. I ended up with this and it was delicious! I wish we lived closer to go more often! They also offered to take a picture for our family, which was so kind! Go here and support a super cute business with great service and delicious treats!“

“Love having this place in the community!“

“The rule of thumb for an ice cream place:

it must be staffed by either high schoolers (or people who look like they should be kept in high school until they look their age),

or jovial Eastern/Southern European (or Turkish) males over the age of 55 that have emigrated to North America prior to the year 2010.

This store passes the rule of thumb. Therefore, the product is good and I can recommend it with a clean conscience.“

“I was Happy to try the Flamethrower Burger w/Fries,along with a Medium drink/Flurry(Awesome service worthy of 10,000/10,000 of awesomeness)“

“Thank you for standing strong! Freedom is FOR ALL“

“Long Live Waffle Cones!!!“

“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.“

“Very good Iced cream the best of Minnesota“

“I had tried posting this review 2/22/2023, but not sure what I did wrong for it to not be public.

Short review- The staff are always friendly. All 9 flavors I’ve had so far have been delicious and I can’t wait to keep bringing friends to try Snowbing for their first time!
FYI: If you get Snowbing and Cruncheese at the same time you’ll need to pay from two separate registers. They’re right next to each other, so it’s no hassle!

TLDR-
I was so excited for Minnesota’s one and only Korean bingsu place to open! For those who don’t know, bingsu (빙수) is a milk based shaved ice dessert. Many people might have ice shavers to make their own, but it hits different when it’s made with the milk base.
Even though I live about 30 minutes away I’ve been almost 10 times. Snowbing has 10 flavors: Traditional Red Bean, injeolmi, strawberry, green tea red bean, chocolate, oreo, mango, watermelon, yogurt berry, and strawberry cheesecake. Checkout the photos included!

Flavors: The last time I went I finally tried the chocolate one, which I had been holding out on because I was worried it’d be overpoweringly sweet. It wasn’t! I would order it again in a heartbeat. I’ve gone with friends who’ve been worried about trying the yogurt berry because they didn’t want more dairy with the yogurt, but the yogurt is (in my opinion) mainly just drizzled on top for looks. We didn’t think it was too yogurty and really loved this bingsu because of the 3 fruits in it. I have yet to try the strawberry cheesecake before I’ve had them all, but can’t wait to check it off my list.

Pro tip: Eat the bingsu first, theeen get your cruncheese. If you eat the cruncheese first, there won’t be enough space for you to enjoy the bingsu! When I went my first time I was with 3 other friends. We got our own cruncheese then shared 2 different bingsus. I can eat my own bingsu bowl by myself as long as I eat that before any other food.

Hope you enjoy as much as I have! :)“

“🍦 chilli dog was very good“

“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“

“I can't stop thinking about the dream burger. best tasting burger and fries Ive ever had.“

“Super recomendado excelente servicio y todo bien rico!!!“

“Loved the vibe and the decorations, the staff is amazing and you can't go wrong with some good ice cream! Great place to stop in and chill for a bit especially if you're in the neighborhood.“

“This place was good but at the same time not totally what I expected !

I got the lotus biscoff waffle. The waffle itself was tasty - crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. I didn't taste a whole lot of biscoff flavor though. There were mainly some crumbles and 2 cookies up top, but otherwise tasted like regular vanilla ice cream with some caramel drizzled.

The bubble waffle wasn't filled all the way and there were empty pockets where ice cream could have been.

The taiyaki looked to be advertised with ice cream inside but I ended up getting the custard one that tasted very egg-like instead of vanilla custard flavored. I love eggs but didn't like the flavor of this much. It may have been my mistake that I didn't read the description properly but there are pictures on the walls of taiyaki with ice cream so I guess I was expecting the flavors to be different.

Otherwise the service was pretty good - they made everything fresh so there is a slight wait but it's not too bad.“

“fantastic and imaginative ice cream flavors“

“If you find yourself in Minneapolis/St. Paul and are even a little bit hungry- I highly recommend you try this cozy, friendly, delectable local restaurant. Every thing I ate and drank was amazing and the owner was a gracious and talented restaurateur. #tripadvisor and #lonelyplanet and #moontravel u should check this place out!“

“The taste at Cold Stone Creamery is amazing! Every scoop is rich, creamy, and bursting with flavor. The mix-ins make each creation unique and delicious, and you can really tell the ingredients are fresh. Plus, the service is really good – the staff is friendly and quick, making the whole experience even better. If you’re looking for a flavour full ice cream treat with great service, Cold stone never disappoints!“

“had the peachy butter and the dulce de Leche so good. highly recommend“

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

“Kids and I had Freezix tonight for dessert and so yummy! Also Kelly (asked his name for this) gave us great service. When I left him a tip, the jar was so full - I must not be the only one impressed. He let me use both my coupons (which I wasn't expecting). Also we came about 1/2 hr before close, and he didn't make us feel rushed or anything (I know this is supposed to happen but doesn't at some places or with other people). Thanks Kelly!“

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

“las nieves tienen un sabor muy rico y realmente saben a fruta y el precio esta muy bien. 100% recomendado que visiten y prueben“

“To ever made my Granddaughters Graduation Ice Cream Cake, You Rock! Awesome Job! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Very Happy Grandma, Cheryl Condon“

“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 :)“

“Gabby who works here gave excellent customer service. She went above and beyond helping with an issue we had. She was very friendly, polite, and professional. It’s very difficult to find employees that give such great customer service and I hope her management knows what a valuable employee they have working here.“

“Cold Stone Ice Cream is not only the best ice cream but every time I go there, the wonderful server helps us with our order. She is patient, especially with small children, and always smiling. Yesterday, my grandchildren asked for water. She must have heard them because, all of a sudden, with a long line of customers, cups of water appeared. Thank you!“

“I just want to give a shout out to the team that’s working there today! They went above and beyond to make sure an order that wasn’t delivered by DoorDash correctly was taken care of. It’s hard being away from family during holidays but they took care of our delivery issue so my daughter still could feel the love from her family.“

“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“

“I visited Häagen-Dazs today at Mall of America and had a wonderful experience. The ice cream was absolutely delicious—rich, fresh, and full of flavor. The staff were very friendly, welcoming, and made the visit even more enjoyable with their warm and positive attitude. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for delicious ice cream and excellent customer service.“

“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“

“fajita breakfast burrito is where it's at.“

“My daughter and I are here at 2:30 pm - the food is great actually. Just want to let the owner know I am witnessing the female manager yell at her male staff member loudly- it is unprofessional and I feel bad for him. She needs some coaching on kindness- she may be having a hard day but it isn’t okay to treat coworkers that way. I’m sure you wouldn’t want your employees treated this way. Update- Thanks to the owner for supporting his employees and for the yummy ice cream.“

“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!!!!!“
