Ice Cream Shops near Vadnais Heights

“I absolutely ALWAYS get the kindest, most friendly, (and of course efficient) service here at Culver's on Centerville Rd. in Vadnais Heights. This is where I bring my senior citizen Mom for our lunches because the food and service is great, the tables and booths are always clean, and we can visit as long as we want!. The acoustics are such that we can talk and hear each other, which is usually a problem for my Mom. Admittedly, I usually take home a kid's size burger to eat later so that I can eat a giant custard sundae, malt, concrete mixer, or something else irresistible as my "meal". Highly recommend!!“

“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.“

“Always a wonderful experience! Genuinely friendly from the moment you walk in the door! The staff doesn't rush you to make decisions, and is always ready with a sample spoon. Keep going back for their pistachio gelato, but tried the salted caramel passion fruit today and it is a close second! Ordering some of their personalized s'mores kits, great for stocking stuffers!“

“I stumbled on this AWESOME place after I got a flat tire. I looked over and there it was.... ICE CREAM & it makes everything better! This place is Top Notch! super clean, inviting, best ice cream & the Folks who run it are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! I'll be back often!!“

“While visiting the twin cities, we wanted to get something sweet for the afternoon. Upon looking at reviews, we decided to stop by Conny's. The variety of flavors they had for soft serve was surprising. We got the coffee and the vanilla cone with the coconut dip. I would recommend the flavored cones over the dip personally, but they are both very good. About average on price but this place had a steady flow of customers on one of the first nicer days of the year.“

“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!“

“Locally owned and a townie "must-do", don't miss cup & cone on your next trip to the WBL. The unassuming building is known to have a line throughout the open season. The soft serve is, of course, my go-to, but my dad loves to indulge in one of their freshly made sub sandwiches. Have your order ready because the line moves quicker than you expect!“

“My favorite neighborhood ice cream shop! They serve Chocolate Shoppe ice cream from Wisconsin and it is the perfect creamy-but-not-too-fatty tasting ice cream. The flavors switch out a lot so there is variety, but my favorite (The S#$t Just Got Serious) is always there. The owner and team are friendly and I always leave smiling!“

“Great new ice cream shop. Locally made, 36 flavors, with many dairy-free choices. Bright atmosphere, reasonable prices, friendly service. The owner, Lee Jr, (along with his wife Jarria) has restaurants in his blood as the son of longtime Selby mainstay Lee & Dee's. A great addition to Frogtown!“

“Me and my family went out to this amazing place for dinner my kids are in love, great atmosphere very friendly employees and all around a great experience, I can’t leave a review without mentioning my favorite part which is definitely the pistachio gelato it’s amazing and I definitely recommend BOGA!“

“My wife and I decided to try something new. To our surprise, it exceeded our expectations. We ordered the family meal for 2. Tried 3 different flavors of wings including Caribbean Jerk, Southern BBQ, and Parmesan Garlic. Amazing! Texas Toast, Yummy! And the fries, so good. He puts a BBQ rub on the fries too. Then we went back for a scoop of ice cream each. Butter Pecan and Birthday Cake.“

“We love coming here for a sweet treat. It's a simple cookie bakery. They have self-serve tablets to order or you can order with a staff. It's small, and depending when you go there may be a group inside waiting for their cookies. The cookies are good and switch out every week. We love their classic chocolate chip cookies! Soft in the inside and a slight crunch to the outside. Their lemon was good--surprised us actually. Their carrot cookie is like a small cake. I liked how I can taste the spices in it and the cream cheese frosting was perfect.“

“Love, love, love Nelson's Ice Cream! Massive sized servings (unless you have a huge appetite, I suggest getting the child sized cone.). There's plenty of options for flavors and the actual ice cream is really good. There's limited parking in the front but there's some in the back off the alley.“

“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 :)“

“The last couple of months we had ordered 2 ice cream cakes and they did it last min for us, usually you have to give them a couple days in advance but they seem to never turn us down, the first time we went we were told nobody knew had to print the image and put it on the cake the only person that knew how to do it was the owner, but the lady said she would call the owner to see if she could come in on her day off to do it, and we went back the next day to pick up the cake and the image was on there!. We just want to say how much we really appreciate your guys service, you guys are absolutely amazing!.“

“Love our neighborhood walk up Dairy Queen! Great place to sit outside with the kids and have a treat.The owner is very friendly and remembers us. I have never had a bad experience here.Lots of construction on Lake Street this summer (2023), but it's open for business and always delicious.“

“We just moved to the area and this neighborhood coffee shop is easily preferred for me over others in the area. Crisp, trendy space inside and the coffee is some of the best I’ve ever had! Well done Bean and Co! Satisfied new customer “

“Patti's Ice Cream & Sweet Shoppe was a popular spot for a sweet treat on a Sunday evening. The folks scooping the ice cream were helpful and prompt. We tried the walleye size cups which offered four flavors of ice cream. I tried the flavors of the month - Rum Cherry, Blueberry Cheesecake, as well as White Chocolate Raspberry, and the Caribou Java. We also tried the Chocolate PB Swirl, Mackinac Island Fudge, Caramel Collision, and Deluxe Vanilla. The ice cream was delicious and a great value. Loved the Swedish Fish on top of each.“

“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!“

“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.“

“My wife is vegan and has a sugar intolerance and was certain she would not be able to enjoy ice cream again, until we found this spot! Stacked with delicious ice cream, chocolates, and even ice cream cakes!!! This place is AMAZING. Geniuses. Everything is made in shop and definitely made with love. We will be back time and time again. Also, SUPER friendly!!!“

“The maracuja was perfectly balanced and has a lovely creamy texture. The guava was a bit too sweet for my taste from the syrup, but was still a lovely combo and well-made ice cream. Cheese curds are definitely not standard and had a lot of paprika (?) on “

“Loved the smoothies. Ordered online and picked it up. They put it in a refrigerator while awaiting my pickup. You won't find this place without knowing it's there because it is in a market, but find it if your are looking for something healthy and tasty“

“Simply the best. The workers always bear with my bizarre requests and desire to taste-test every flavor no matter how obscenely busy they are. Endlessly charming atmosphere. The cones have jelly beans at the bottom!!!Black Hills Gold and Pomegranate Sorbet are my favorites. Mom is a big fan of the malty flavor (forgot the name) and boyfriend loves the cookie monster and peppermint bonbon (he's crazy and likes to put them together. I don't get it either).“

“I like this place but I wish ice cream parlors offered organic ice cream!I like that they have the cup sizes and the cones displayed so it's easier to make a decision.I like that they have little coin holders so you can pay without holding your ice cream.I wish they'd open earlier on these hot days!I wish they had a clear open sign light up so that you can tell from highway 96.“

“I enjoy ordering these for family gatherings, going to a friends house for dinner. The best thing about these is that the flavors change weekly and when I bring them to a friends house, I order them online then have them delivered so they are fresh after supper!“

“5-stars isn’t a high enough rating..This place does not miss!! Absolutely love their pies especially well-done! We also love their Mac and Cheese! My wife and I drive from Burnsville to get Mavericks and the crisp on the crust holds up perfectly in the commute. This is our go-to spot for pizza!!“

“I absolutely love Rico’s Ice Cream Parlour. Conveniently located in downtown Saint Paul, I’m able to treat myself Multiple times a day. I start my days with a quick, simple and delicious breakfast (The breakfast croissant being my favorite) and double back later in the day for ice cream.Excellent customer service, reasonably priced, conveniently located, black owned, great product and I always feel welcomed and appreciated as a customer.10/10 I recommend.“

“Pretty good salads with good texture. Music was bumping. Not sure of the hype. Lines can get long quickly. I ordered the buffalo chicken ceaser salad. It was a bit tangy for my liking. The place is cashless btw.Vegetarian options: It's salad broKid-friendliness: I saw kidsWheelchair accessibility: No stairs“

“My kid she was really loving it the place it's so nice and clean and also the people who are serving the ice cream they are so kind ? ? No rush for us yummy ice cream for sure ever Lo the ice cream don't think it was a lot but until the end I was finally can able to finish it up. So there it maybe seems small amount for you but until the end it's was a lot of the ice cream“

“Literally the best service I've had at any restaurant in a long time. The guy who helped us was so friendly, smile on his face the whole time, interacted with my kids. The food was fresh and ready quickly. All that was missing when our food came to the table was one shake and when we asked about it the employee added extra strawberries to make up for the wait. So nice. Thanks for a great lunch!“
