Ben Neumann has been around for about 10 years. If you love a variety of pies this is your place…read more My favorites are the thaw and serve and many have a pretzel crust or a cookie crust. Most are seasonal and I'm glad it's fruit pie time. I recently got the Margarita pie. Two of us go through it in 3 days. Nothing better to do than eat pie all weekend, especially these. My other favorite is the tiger striped chocolate cream. He does savory and also hand pies if you want to sample or eat it on the spot. He started a variety of ice creams, too. All your ordering is on line then you arrange a pick up time. So get on the list. He has set up his garage for all the sales. If you ever want a pie in your face, better hope it's from here.

Amazing! I am so glad we found Ben the Baker ... although I'm afraid my husband will turn into a…read moreregular and I'll turn into a whale! We started with the Key Lime. And we need to try the savory pies too. (The ice cream is to die for too.)

Would I drive 30 minutes to get scoop ice cream somewhere? Absolutely not. Do I drive 35 minutes to…read moreget soft serve at Cup and Cone? On the regular. Call me a soft serve snob because well, I am. It just hits different. Cup and cone? It just hits different. Rich, creamy, milky, grade A soft serve. I'm a basic vanilla guy however I've tried other flavors and their dole whip. All fire. You can also dip your soft serve. On a different occasion when it was too hot outside I did a cherry dip. Melted like crazy under the dip but still fire and I'd do it again. Haven't tried their food but it always smells good. Should you give any and all the above a shot? Absolutely. Drive across town at rush hour hating your life in traffic? Worth it. The location? Small lot, street parking options, the cutest little stand you could ask for with a few benches to the side. I love it. Spring and summer will eventually be here, do yourself a favor and go treat yourself at cup and cone.

Decided to try this place out because of them being voted the best ice cream in the country…read more.. Sadly I was a little disappointed. It was a little on the bland side. I wasn't amazed by the taste. Definitely not worth waiting in line for.... However, on the plus side. The portion for a large cup of twist ice cream was impressive and the amount of cookie dough toppings for $0.73 was great. I will give them credit for that. Price for what I got was a total of $5.09. Which is good price for the amount of ice cream I received. Overall I don't think they lived up to their hype. But if you want a big portion of decent ice cream for good price, give it a try. They do have outdoor seating and a small parking lot.

This weekend I had an Oreo milkshake at the 7th street location. It was soooooo good. Went to the…read moremaplewood location this week to hopefully have the same experience. It was terrible. I ordered 2 Oreo milkshakes and nochos and cheese. My total easy $32!!!!!!! The milkshakes had NO Oreo in them, they were just vanilla shakes with chocolate in the cup. I'll never go back. And can't help but feel I was over charged.

Went to Vietnam Star Restaurant next door and discovered this hidden underrated gem. If you like…read morefrozen treats they have you covered. They have as many flavors as Izzy's had and many are unique to Mexico. This is the place to go when you want something new and different to try. There are so many things to try. Been here 3 times each very good and delicious. I only wish each flavor had explanation of what it was in English too. They are more than willing to answer questions and give sample tastes. Give this place a try we want to keep them around for ever. Kids love it too!!!

This strip mall might be the only corner of North Oaks where you won't be chased away by guard…read moredogs. With that in mind, it is a pleasant surprise that this is such a homey, welcoming-feeling ice cream joint. The ice cream I got was truly amazing; I got a double-dip with Peanut Butter Swirl and brownie-something. Super good combination, and I wound up getting a pint of the Peanut Butter swirl to take home. It had such strong peanut flavor and aroma, I'm really impressed! They also serve 1919 root beer on tap which is awesome. Apparently it's all homemade ice cream, and it certainly has that flavor to it in the most positive way. I am going to be sad when my pint of Peanut Butter Swirl is depleted. I will return for more, no question.

In-house creamery, on-site made ice cream - 5 stars!…read more If any of you have read my reviews of ice cream shops, you know that I love dairy and I love, love, love in-house craft ice cream! You really can't beat the quality. And you can definitely taste the difference. This isn't mass produced Kemps or Cedar Crest factory ice cream - it's the real deal. I checked out Big Dipper after grabbing some sushi nearby. I stumbled across them while driving out of the big mall area. I'm glad I was paying attention. What a find! I ordered a cup of chocolate peanut butter ice cream. Yum! I'm jealous that I don't have a creamery near my home in the Anoka area. Thumbs up! -Maxx

This is a perfect place to visit, have some cool treats, and a play a game or two with the family…read more Took my brother and granddaughter out for a treat. Both of them had huge portions and loved their treats. There were at least 10 flavors of soft serve plus numerous toppings from peanut butter to gummy frogs to boba to fresh raspberries. Absolutely something for every taste! Rather have hard ice cream? No problem! That is also a choice with a dozen flavors to choose from. Finally they have gourmet popcorn (or just regular too if fancy isn't your thing!). No scales to weigh your purchase on. You just pay by cup size! The cashier was the sweetest gal! I was trying to clean up the mess my party was making and she wouldn't have it! She told me to sit and enjoy while she took over where I had been cleaning. After our treats, we played a few games. So nice that they have a huge selection that are fun for all ages! We will definitely be back!

The employees are kind and efficient, the building was clean and pleasant to the eye, and the prices are amazing. I came in expecting intense prices like most froyo places, and then I found out the charge by size! It was only about 6 bucks for a medium cup, even with my generous serving of toppings on it. Overall definitely recommend this place.

My 4 year old and I just finished the funnest day I've ever had in a mall. He was so well behaved,…read moreI decided to give him an extra treat on the way out. That boy LOVES ice cream!! I watched these guys stay busy with a continuous line as we passed them multiple times over the 4 hours we were here. I have to say, I'm impressed! It was the end of that day and they still whipped that ice cream up with as much as energy as they probably would have at the beginning of their day (dang that has to be a work out to do that all day long!!) With only 2 ice plates (or whatever you call those things), the line moves a bit slow. But the entertainment makes it worth the wait. Was I impressed? Mmm...it was as stellar tasting tasting as Ben & Jerry's or some of the gourmet handcrafted ice cream shops around the cities but the cool flavors, the visual appeal and watching them make it - and good customer service- gets my 5 stars. And my little one? Ohh he freakin' loved it!!!

I just really enjoyed the consistency of their ice cream and thought it was pretty affordable. Now that I know it's a specialty ice cream place--it's definitely affordable for what they offer and in comparison to other places. All the workers are really friendly as well and it's very colorful inside. The place is upbeat and fun. I've never bought anything else from here but I come back every time I want ice cream!!

There are so many flavor choices that there is guaranteed to be something for everyone. Cons: the menu is slightly confusing. No sundaes (I don't believe?) and how to order and how many mix ins are not very clear unless you ask the question. They need a "how to" board for placing an order or a better description of what things are. Mix ins are charged by item after the first one (although not marked as such). Service is spotty and orders are not filled in the order they are received. Half our party was done before the other half of the group of 6 was served. Seating is limited and dirty. Price is ok....a little on the high side. Overall, I would return but not sure if it would be often. Just glad to have this as an option in the neighborhood.
