Feeling adventurous? Go for their unusual flavors of the day, from egg nog to crème fraîche to mango and salted raspberry swirl to coffee stout . You won't be disappointed.

Matt Swiontek

Best ice cream in Minneapolis. Pro tip: if you're ok with sharing the pint is more ice cream and cheaper than two singles (and you can have multiple flavors).

Cori Williamson

It's just amazing. I will never get ice cream from anywhere else. If you get ice cream in Jan and Feb, you get a discount based on the temp that day!

NMarie

lol I hear the mayor requested they change the name "Nicollet Pothole " :-) A bit rich, but I actually like it. Even the aftertaste is good - 5 mins after it's gone your mouth is still on a food-gasm!

Christopher Popov

Great selection of about 9 ice creams and they are generous with the portions. Grab a cone and take a stroll down hennipen

I have never encountered better ice cream ... EVER and sadly SB has transformed me into that person you roll your eyes at for being a snob...an ice cream snob. Raspberry Chocolate Chip is GOLD!

Ebrahim Bandookwala

Outdoor seating , innovative flavors ! There the msp pothole was yum!

Amanda Pederson

Oreo and the flavor formerly known as Nicollet Ave pothole in a waffle cone ! Eat it outside and make sure to grab plenty of napkins.

Daisy Nguyen

I love mornings here. They have the BEST baked goods made FRESH at 3:00AM ever morning. Blueberry muffins were TDF. Good coffee & Tea too!

Cheapism

Cute classic ice cream shop with giant scoops! You definitely get your moneys worth here!

Looking for a ice cream cake ? Order ahead and they can do any two flavor combinations, designs, and a variety of fillings.

Praveen Ellur

One of the best ice creams I've had and Pavarotti is my favorite flavor. Big Thumbs up.

There’s nothing better than fresh, homemade ice cream . This family owned ice cream shop serves coffee and baked goodies in addition to making great ice cream .

Raspberry chocolate chip ice cream is the best ice cream I've ever had

Raspberry Chocolate Chip in a chocolate-dipped cone ! Then hop on over to Patina or take a walk around Lake of the Aisles.

Matt Clark

If they have the chocolate coyote flavor on hand, give it a shot.

Arun D'Souza

The best Ice Cream in the Twin Cities . Get Pavarotti or Nicollet Pothole .

Steph Sell

Long lines worth the wait, it moves fast! Try any flavor you like, they will let you!

JessC ⚓

Try a scoop of the Salty Caramel on one of their homemade waffle cones !

Simon Anderson

Fantastic ice cream , but be ready to wait in a long line

Anne ???? D

A scoop of Sebastiano's Favorite & a scoop of chocolate with caramel sauce on top is the BEST!

Abby Anderson Jones

Great variety of ice cream flavors

Kristine Fisher

Longer lines during the evening hours, but, still, take advantage of the free tasting spoons before making your choice.

Brooke Jorgensen

Oreo and salty caramel in a handmade cone . Too yummy!

Colin Thompson

Good god, the Oreo ice cream . There is no equal.

Tas Khan

Small little hole in the wall but amazing ice cream

Tori M

can't get enough sorbet ! best in town ~ peach , pear , orange , berry , they're all amazing!

Rachel Magario

This store always seems to have a greater selection of flavors than the other location

Pat Simasathien

Try the Apple Crisp - It was the today's special flavor. Soooo....tummy!

John Nguyen

If ordering a scoop for each person, then I recommend you order 3 scoops in a big cup then ask for some empty cups to divide to save money. This will cost less per scoop then ordering separately.

Sara

Fresh roasted coffee with salted caramel ice cream is a sure thing.

Brooke Jorgensen

The people that work here are really cool also. Which is a plus.

Angie Zuber

They have run raisin ice cream here. Just like Haagen Daaz had back in the day. WIN.

Cassi D.

Nicollet Pothole is A-mazing. If they don't have your fave flavor out, ask nicely and they'll check in back for you.

Tiffany Wong

a little disappointed by the nicollet pothole flavor—overly chocolatey , melts quickly

Blake Hanson

Best ice cream (and craziest combinations) in the Twin Cities ! Read more

Pavoratti is always great. Oreo is also amazing - try a split!

Darshy N

If you like beer (aka if you're Minnesotan) get the surly bender. You'll love it.

Richard

The ice cream , the ice cream ...

M.A. Slipka

Love the scones in morning & Nicollet Pot Hole ice cream at night!

Mariann Justmari Beard-Goss

Every thing!

Alisha Sedor

Salted caramel , best flavor hands down.

If they have watermelon sorbet - get it or at least taste it!
