Ice Cream Shops near White Bear Lake

“Just discovered this little gem in White Bear Lake! Amazing gelato and locally owned by an incredible family! The kids and I have already gone several times and plan to head back soon.“

“Not an inexpensive fast food restaurant but their burgers are very good! They have prepacked pints of ice cream in many, many flavors. The ice cream is so rich and creamy....a must if you go!
The location is very clean and staff are friendly.“

“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)“

“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.“

“Great place to stop by for an ice cream! Tons of soft serve choices which is my favorite and somewhat hard to find a dedicated place for it. I've had a couple varieties but honestly I'm a sucker for pistachio soft serve and this is one of the few places around that has it!

The staff is friendly and works through the line quick enough. It's not really a place you can come and sit down to eat although there's a couple picnic tables nearby that you can eat at if you want.

I haven't tried anything but their ice cream yet, but based on their ice cream I'm sure it's delicious! I'll make sure to update my review if I ever do!“

“We visited this charming (looked like family owned) ice cream shop for the first time, and it was well worth the 25-minute drive! We came across it on fb and just had to try them out. They have so many flavors to choose from. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making us feel right at home. The outdoor play area for kids and comfortable outdoor seating were perfect for a relaxed family outing. We'll definitely be coming back and recommending this delightful spot to our friends and family. Highly recommend!“

“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“

“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.“

“Luv Ice Cream is a fantastic shop to visit. Their ice cream is delicious! The owners are very welcoming and knowledgeable. We could have talked for hours! There are so many choices for vegan and keto conscious patrons. If you want wonderful sugar free options this is your store!“

“Absolutely loved our first trip here! Amazing flavors, perfect sizes, and great prices. Thrilled we found this amazing shop.“

“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!!“

“The coffee and treats were fantastic recommended to everybody“

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

“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“

“The cookies are amazing and delicious! They are a little pricey, but totally worth it! We love to get different cookies and split them so we can all get a taste. The service is quick and easy, and the restaurant is clean. I highly recommend“

“Love the wide variety of cookies they offer. Everything is fresh and tastes delicious. Staff is always friendly. I appreciate that you can order ahead or just walk in. I also think it's helpful that they're open later into the evening to offer a fun evening dessert or goodies for a last minute get together. Really good things come in a pink box!“

“Love this place!!! The ice cream is amazing with so many flavors and the staff is incredible! So happy to have them in our neighborhood!“

“Service was great and the beef boat noodles is very savory. My new fav spot for boat noodles. Their cucumber salad was on point too! I finished the cucumber and took the sauce home because it was that delicious! What a hidden gem! Will be returning for sure and will be trying their other dishes. First time in a long time finding a restaurant where I was “Wow’d”. Must try!!“

“Food was great. Ordered 10 pizzas do grandsons birthday party and was all good.“

“Culver’s has the best Butter Burger’s - North Atlantic Cod & famous Custard of the day! I have been going to the Vadnais Heights Culver’s for several years! The friendly staff is “Impeccable “ I always buy the Calendars & Gift Cards! Thank You Culver’s for supporting our Farmers! 5 Golden Stars! 😊“

“It’s 85 degrees out, the ice cream and vibes here are immaculate. Best ice cream I’ve ever had, the portions are insaaaane. One of the workers in the back is singing to the music they’re playing and everything is 10/10. It’s my first time here and I will always be a fan!“

“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!“

“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!“

“I'm pretty obsessed with everything I've tried. And now I've turned on family members as well.“

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

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

“Great night for
Culver’s. Speedy service and not much of a line. Food was great as usual no issues with my order. The dogs approved of their pup cups. Somehow only one onion ring was in the bag when I made it home so that’s a mystery for next time“

“Great Customer Service! Friendly and professional. Food is always fresh! Love the assistant manager! I eat/order at Culver twice a week!“

“I love the cookies but I enjoyed the service even more! I believe that Jayvion (might've spelled that wrong) was training Josh on the evening that I went in and I am so glad that I witnessed this. Both guys were patient, calm, and super respectful (I'm in my early 30s btw) which was refreshing. Not only was I greeted promptly, they made sure that I was taken care of in a timely fashion, and gave me well wishes on my way out. Thanks Jayvion and Josh :)“

“Nothing better than going to Dairy Queen for some soft serve ice cream. It's the best!!

However, the DQ in Plymouth off Rockford Road needs their employees better trained for customer service. They were very rude to me when I asked them if I could buy a bunch (4 boxes) of dilly bars and buster bars for my crew. They said I could only buy one box, as they just opened and need to leave the rest of the dilly and busterbars for other customers. Just thought that was a bit strange to restrict my purchase of buying more. One particular young man at the counter represented poor customer service by his attitude. Maybe they were afraid they'd have to make more or reload the freezer? Not sure what his issue was but I even tried to give him the benefit of a doubt and make him smile, but no luck.“

“I ordered on the app, for some reason it didnt come over. I had to show the worker my order. The burgers were more dry than the last time and my bacon was missing. Going with 4 stars because the last burger i had was good and the employee was friendly.“

“CherryBerry is one of my favorite spots to stop by. I love how many different flavors they have, it’s always fun to try something new or mix a few together. The seating arrangements make it easy to relax and enjoy. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. Plus, the location is super convenient.“

“Had to try the spicy chicken strips dipped in soft serve. It’s been all over tv and we were curious.

I’m guessing it hasn’t gone over well because the server immediately asked if we wanted a different sauce in case we didn’t like the ice cream. It was ok. Not great but ok.

My bigger issue was the spicy chicken was a bit of a lie. Not spicy at all. And I suspect they needed to change their fryer oil, it wasn’t the freshest. The fries though were delicious!

All that said…in concept this is a great idea. I’m wondering if they could mix a savory version of soft serve…very little sugar, maybe some ranch seasoning? The ice cream idea was really good—-I mean we’ve all been dipping fries in malts for decades so this is a sound proposition. Just tweak it a bit and change your fryer oil and you’ve really got something!“
