The Chocolate Ox in Nisswa is such a fun little stop, especially if you have kids. The shop is…read morepacked with candy, toys, Jellycat animals, and so many colorful things to look at that it almost feels like stepping into a candy wonderland. The ice cream itself was good, though the flavor selection was a bit smaller than we expected. We also wish they offered a smaller child-sized scoop since the standard scoops are pretty large at around $5 each. Still, the atmosphere was cheerful and memorable, and it's definitely the kind of place we'd visit again on a future trip to Nisswa.

Consistently poor customer service when getting ice cream. I've never had good service here and we…read morefrequent it often. The one girl let out a very annoyed sigh tonight when we asked for a sample. Again, the ice cream is great, but that is the only reason we come back. The owner says it's because of teenagers being nervous about their first jobs, however I've had plenty of great service from teens at other establishments. It's also not just the teenagers who aren't friendly. Even a smile would go a long way.

You've probably driven by this restaurant a million times like me before you really noticed it. I…read morestopped in to check it out and now it's one of our favorite places to go for breakfast. It has always been a good culinary experience for me. However, I haven't tried their burgers or other sandwiches for lunch yet but I have heard from others that they are very good. It's a unique place to shops as well. "Up nort" kinda stuff. Hard to explain, so just check it out.

We stumbled in here about 9 am assuming there wouldn't be many options to pick from and we were…read moreright BUT the owner was so kind to make us literally whatever we wanted. Him and his mom are the only workers and were manning the front corner while also trying to fill a huge order they had to have ready yet they still made us to-order donuts. We got a maple raised donut, German chocolate cinnamon roll donut and an apple fritter. They were all a.m.a.z.i.n.g!!! The interior is decorated with an automotive theme in mind, lots of cool antiques decorate the space. When you turn the corner there are cute vintage tables, makes you feel like you're in someone's kitchen! Prices are also extremely reasonable. Go support this business!!!!

The handmade cups are just beautiful, I wish I grabbed one too. They have a coffee flight that seemed to be a hit among those sitting in the cafe! Drive thru is a great option for on the go - but overall they made our 10+ coffees quickly and all correct! It looks like they have homemade gluten free bakery items (which seem to be a hit).

I have had times where the person helping me is clearly over "City-ots" but this most recent trip was a delight. Generally good COVID procedures, though the (self described) privileged elite who stay at this resort don't feel the need for masks and I don't blame the staff for not wanting to get into it with the entitled. If you are in the area, worth checking out. Fun for a quick adventure for ice cream after lunch.
