Kiddo size is rather generous though, which we all got. Glad this place is here.

Sitting outside with our crew, enjoying cones and good conversation, ended up being one of the unexpected highlights of our Fourth of July weekend. 1000% recommend making the stop--you'll thank yourself later.

We rolled in for hot chocolates with pumps of toasted marshmallow syrup dangerously good. My brother, dad, sister‑in‑law, and best friend all ran their own caffeine experiments with coffees and teas, and every single one of them walked away impressed. They've got shelves of games and reading material that make you want to stay awhile... and we did. And then there was the ice cream situation. We went up six times in ten days. Six. They close at seven, so every night turned into a post‑dinner sprint "GO, GO, GO!" which honestly helped us get the dishes done faster. Nothing motivates a family like the threat of missing ice cream. I can't say enough about the staff; from a nut allergy to ordering one scoop of ice cream they let you pick two flavors so you can try something you've never tried before. If you haven't been here before, create a new Up North tradition tell them KT sent you ;)

Everyone can get a flavor they like no matter how normal or weird the flavor might be. They have all the basics to fun kid flavors and even some a little strange flavors that some will love. The staff is always very helpful and generous with their scoops. It's a mandatory stop and I look forward to it every weekend we go up to the cabin. Not only do they have great ice cream! They also have cute trinkets of the area/lakes that make great gifts and cabin decorations along with sweatshirts and other clothes that help make anyone's closet complete.

We loved coming here multiple times during our stay, we still had to visit the one in nisswa too but this one had almost everything nisswa has except smaller. The happy hour was amazing!!! They really make a big deal out of it here, the lines were long but the staff were amazing at moving everyone along. $3 for any done is such an amazing deal!!! So fun when they turned the lights off and rang the bells. It was a whole experience. Great to find out breezy has theirs on Tuesday, the grand view lodge is Wednesday and nisswa Thursday. All 7-9 pm. So you really could go 3 days in a row if you wanted!
