“Lisa G., Janae was our waitress, too. We were the “3-J’s”: Joe, Junna, and Janae. Janae was swift, attentive, beautiful, and cheerful. She was always right there to refill my water glass. I wonder if she ran track in high school; she was fast!“

“We want to recognize Jonathan, the manager at Culver's, for the incredible kindness, patience, and compassion he has consistently shown our family over the years. We often visit with our special needs son, and Jonathan has always been friendly, welcoming, and genuinely helpful.
Today, our son arrived early with his PCA before the restaurant opened and experienced a severe meltdown in the parking lot. Jonathan went far beyond what anyone would expect. He came outside to help, stayed calm and compassionate, and supported the situation with kindness, understanding, and patience during a very difficult moment. He treated our son and his caregiver with dignity and care, and his actions made a huge difference.
People like Jonathan deserve to be recognized. Exceptional customer service is one thing, but genuine humanity and compassion are something much more meaningful. We are deeply grateful for the way he handled the situation and for the continued kindness he shows our family every time we visit. Culver’s is fortunate to have someone like him representing their business.“

“We stopped in and had the Santa’s Breath ice cream. It was amazing!! Such wonderfully made ice cream. The flavors were different than you typically see which was great. Highly Recommend it!!“

“Super cute place, I wish it was open year-round!

Lovely location too, and pretty reasonable prices considering the isolation!

The owners are all really sweet too. I live in Australia and when I come to MN I’m always excited to go to Surf Yoghurt Bar!“

“Stopped in a few times with my kids over the summer, and always had a great experience. Happy staff and quick scoops! I do wish there was better seating available. Ice cream isn't really something you buy and then drive off with (it will melt before you get home!), but the outdoor seating left something to be desired. The last time i went, every chair outside had something spilled on it, and limited picnic table options. It was their first summer, and i think they are sharing this seating with the pizza place, so i'm sure they are still working out the kinks.

I also want to call out how impressed i am with the creamery's dedication to the Lake Elmo community. They have participated in a few of the local events that happen here annually, and it really helps the events be successful, and puts the LEC in a really positive light. Keep up the great work!!“

“They have the best ice cream I have it shipped to me. I’ve bought it twice and I’ve been very happy with it. Wish the prices would come down some cause I’m low income but every few months I will buy it if I can afford it.“
