Yesterday was National Ice Cream Day, so I had to drop by somewhere. This place is walking distance from my house, so I dropped in. To try something. There were so many options, I changed my mind at least 5 times before getting to the front. The small business feel is very nice, and there's plenty of parking on the street, even though their lot is a bit small. It was really nice seeing all the people come out to enjoy the food and weather. In the end I got a s'mores medium mixer, and it was delicious. I told myself I'd only eat half and freeze the rest, but I couldn't stop until it was gone! read more

Conny's Creamy Cone - S'mores medium Mixer - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Saint Paul, Minnesota

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! read more

What an absolute gem! I've been swinging by Conny's for years, and it's a good marker of springtime when they open for the season. It's my favorite treat after a walk around Como Lake. They're known for their variety of soft serve flavors which I highly recommend trying (have a coin flip ready to break any indecisiveness). I also recommend paying in cash to avoid the credit card fee (it's a small business, y'all) and grabbing a bag of cheese curds to go with your ice cream! The service is always great though it can get busy which slows things down. Their parking lot surrounding the hut has about 8 spots so you might need to park on the street. There is no indoor space for customers but there are benches and a couple picnic tables. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu! Good luck choosing! read more

I had never had a Conny's experience until recently. Wanted some ice cream and hubs said we had to go to Conny's since I had never been. It was an experience for sure. The line likely looks long when you pull up, but it does move fairly quickly. There are so many options. There is a long list of flavors and you can get a dipped waffle cone! I ended up getting pina colada in a waffle cone. I would not recommend the waffle cone (they leak thru the bottom and get a little messy, but they are tasty). Also, the flavored soft serves (besides vanilla, chocolate, or twist) seem to melt FAST. Still, very tasty, but just be aware to maybe stick to a dish or something that is contained not by a cone. Will definitely return to Conny's! read more

Stop here when you need a sweet treat in the St. Paul area! Made to order everything! Lots of soft serve ice cream flavors in addition to so many other menu options. Beware it's very popular so it can be busy. The line can wrap around the building but ITS WORTH THE WAIT! read more

My sister and I were in the mood for ice cream and we decided to visit Conny's. The line was semi long but moved fairly fast and I was able to look over the menu. The have ice cream, floats, and some food like cheese curds and mini corn dogs. I decided to get the s'mores flurry this time, I wanted to try something new and enjoy anything s'mores flavored. I will be visiting again to try some more new items to me. They have a few nice tables outside and a few benches to sit on and enjoy your ice cream. read more

I love this place so much!!! I live pretty far away but whenever I'm in town I always make sure to find time to stop by Conny's even if it's out of the way it's a must!! Such a classic vintage vibe with great food and for ice cream there are SO MANY flavor options there is literally something for everyone. The staff have always been very nice and provide great service. They also have great prices! I've brought multiple friends and family members here and they've all loved it! Highly recommend stopping by during their open season I promise you won't regret it! read more

This spot should be on everyone's Saint Paul summer bucket list! Known for their wide ranging flavors of soft-serve, they also have summer classics like burgers and cheese curds. I went for the cherry-dipped chocolate waffle cone with crunch on this visit, and it was great. The soft-serve definitely errs on the side of "soft," so plan to eat it fairly immediately at one of their outdoor picnic tables. It's walk-up service, and it can be tough to order or hear your order being called, so know what you want ahead of time and stay close once you've ordered. It's also worth noting that prices have increased--a lot--since just a few years back, but that's true of everywhere. All-in-all though, this is a place to hit! read more

This ice cream was delicious! Totally worth waiting in line. We also got the cheese curds and Mac and Cheese bites, which were also fantastic! The shop is old and could use some love. However, prices were fair, and everything was so great. We will be back for sure to try all of the other flavors. They have their own parking lot, but it was full. Therefore, we parked up the street. But street parking was free and easy to find. It also was not too far away. There are not many places to sit. But they do have two tables and a bench. read more

You know, we passed by this shop many times and always wondered why there was a line around the building. When I want ice cream, I typically avoid soft serve...but Conny's cones is awesome. Every flavor we have ordered (except Carmel) blew us away. Now the kids request it. I would not recommend the cheese curds-tasty, but the serving was small. read more

I've lived near Connie's for nearly 30 years and it's the best around. You can get soft serve in one of about 25 different flavors. They also have good curds, burgers, hot dogs.. etc. New owner since Connie retired but the service and quality remain the same. read more

I've discovered a great ice cream destination that apparently was a hidden secret from me for 35+ years. Located near Como Lake in St. Paul is Conny's Creamy Cones! This is a historic place that apparently flew under my radar for far too long! Let's just say 24 flavors of soft serve! Yes, 24! Plus every iteration of how to enjoy said ice cream. Then add on burgers, fries and more. Don't forget the prices are from a bygone era. How do they do it?! I had a peanut butter cup flurry. It was tasty maybe not as jam packed as a DQ blizzard but I still enjoyed it and emptied the cup. I look forward to sampling their grill and fried items in the future and am glad to know I am just 15 mins away from this local gem. read more

Simply delicious soft serve at Connie's Creamy Cone! They have an insane amount of soft serve flavors so you can try something new every time you visit. There was a line but service is fast and efficient, making the line move way quicker than I thought it would be. We got a vanilla cone and a crunch cone which was the perfect end to a hot day in May! The crunch was a great topping to my vanilla cone- it's peanuts and sprinkles and ever since DQ got rid of it, Connie's is the only place I know of that still serves it. Reminds me of my childhood and it tastes so good! In addition to traditional ice cream fare such as sundaes, cones, and shakes, they also have a food menu with items like burgers and fries. They do have a few picnic tables but seating is limited so most people either stand to eat or take it to go. We will be back to try more delicious and affordable treats! read more

The ultimate epitome of a classic American corner store. They call themselves "the sweetest place in the neighborhood" and they are definitely right! Never have I been to a place with such tasty soft serve ice cream that is inexpensive and diverse! They have a huge selection of flavors (24 to be exact). From Apricot to Cotton Candy, fruity to nutty, dipped cones to topped cones, they have it all. Not only do they have soft serve, they have different desserts too! Such as, banana splits, milkshakes, rootbeer floats, flurrys, smoothies, you name it! And if you're looking for a cheap quick bite, they also have burgers, hot dogs, cheese curds, fried pickles, and mac & cheese wedges! Trust me when I say, you cannot beat the deals! All of their items range from $1-6, and they're tasty. The long lines can speak for themselves too!! If you're ever in St. Paul, definitely check out this spot! read more

This place is always my go to for ice cream when I want to take my family. I always get their banana split. Never fails! The only thing about this place is the long line. It literally be wrapped around the lil building. The employees are really nice and they move really fast to get the line down and not have people waiting for long periods of time. I will forever love this place. read more

Sundays are huge!!! Easily enough for 2 or 1 teenage boy. Fast, tasty and not expensive. The trifecta. We'll be back. I can see how there is a line around the block in summer. About 10 parking spots... so be prepared to walk. read more

So good! If you want a ton of different soft serve flavors to choose from this is for you. I love soft serve and this is the BEST around. It is VERY soft. If it's hot outside you'll have to eat quickly lol. I usually get the tuitti fruiti as it tasted like bubble gum and I love shunting bubble gum. Today I got twist as I've been on a twist kick and it's getting hard to find. Amazing soft serve and plenty of different options for all family members. I always get the soft serve as does my son but my husband gets shakes and flurries. Parking lot is very small and can get congested if it's busy FYI read more

Conny's creamy cone has been on my list. My husband grew up not far away and would walk over here for ice cream. Conny's didn't list anything as dairy free so this lactose intolerant individual had to make sure there were no other plans after. I went with a small soft serve pistachio cone and enjoyed it. My husband ALWAYS gets butterfinger and cookie dough flurry. He does not share. We both got smalls and it was plenty of ice cream! I can totally see why people love this place and hope it lasts for many more summers to come! I'll definitely visit again if there's more dairy friendly options! read more

I was an out-of-town visitor in Mayout-of-town, staying with family and checking out Como Park when I wanted to get my children a little treat (and myself a little snack). Conny's hit the spot, especially with the fried cheese curds! The parking lot is small, and we were able to get the last spot available when we arrived. The line took us maybe 10 minutes (standing outside), but that meant I had plenty of time to choose which ice cream flavor to get. My kids each got chocolate, and I chose cheesecake, which I wouldn't recommend if you have a choosy sense of cheesecake flavor. The artificiality of it came through, but thinking back, I should have known that cheesecake is a tricky flavor to get right in soft serve. The fried cheese curds, though, were perfect! I wish I had gotten more! Especially on the nippy day, they really hit the spot being all warm and salty and the perfect little bite size. The shop was great for a such a small, independent haunt. It's obvious the locals love it. Stop by for a quick treat, but maybe bring wet wipes if you plan to eat in your car. Those ice cream cones can get really messy! There are a few tables near the shop, but that's all for seating. No bathroom access, either, so plan accordingly! read more

This is our favorite ice cream shop in the twin cities, maybe ever! The soft serve is amazing and you can pretty much create whatever you want. We always get sundaes, highly recommended! The brownies taste fresh and the ice cream is so creamy read more

Soft serve ice cream for life! Many of the places in the Twin cities have ice cream but not specifically soft serve. Conny's is super affordable and a cute little spot near Como park. They have so many flavors... 30+ flavors. Also if you need savory, they have hot food too! I love the crunch topping, so much. The soft serve is so creamy and a refreshing treat in the summer. My favorite flavor is the chocolate pistachio with the crunch. Warning the parking lot is tiny but there is a lot street parking around. Great place to visit and get some ice cream. read more

Great selection of soft serve ice cream flavors. Dipped cone flavors were also terrific. Sadly small cheese curd servings..

I LOVE Conny's they have the best ice cream in the city. And also there is always a line supporting the small businesses. If you're there in the morning the owner is also there and super friendly. Just overall great service and amazing ice cream. I always leave a big TIP for the kids working there. So if you're looking for an amazing ice cream place to try go to Conny's you won't regret it! read more

While visiting the twin cities, we wanted to get something sweet for the afternoon. Upon looking at reviews, we decided to stop by Conny's. The variety of flavors they had for soft serve was surprising. We got the coffee and the vanilla cone with the coconut dip. I would recommend the flavored cones over the dip personally, but they are both very good. About average on price but this place had a steady flow of customers on one of the first nicer days of the year. read more

Conny's is full of cheeseburgers, hotdogs, and fries. Your all-American foods. But, this review is based solely on the soft serve. So. Good. Conny's has 24 flavors of soft serve to choose from along with a few "special of the week" flavors. They have various dips and a dip of the week as well. It was a hard decision, but I went with the amaretto. I was afraid the flavor would be too much, but it was mixed perfectly. This is so rich and creamy, not at all powdery tasting like a lot of soft serves can be. It's a hefty amount too! I'll be back to try the other menu items and definitely to try the other soft serve flavors. read more

Conny's specializes in soft-serve ice cream. If that's your thing, they'll have your flavor. There are 24 different flavors! I went here specifically because I love the taste of amaretto, and it was great! We also ordered the pistachio with crunch topping. However, the crunch didn't come as a topping. It was mixed throughout. Supposedly their specialty flavors are softer than vanilla/chocolate where they're able to dip the entire cone. Regardless, it didn't matter to me. It was evenly spread and I still equally enjoyed it. I maybe even liked the changeup better! My only complaint is there wasn't a lot of seating to hang out. Maybe it was COVID19 related, I'm not sure. Also, there are two windows. One to order, and one to pick up. The bottleneck was the second. It was crowded with people waiting for their cones after they ordered. read more

Great place to grab some excellent soft-serve. Lots of fresh flavors to try or you can go more advanced and get a banana split, sundae, or shake. Honestly though, with soft-serve and dipped cones available why would you choose anything else? If your a monster and would rather not eat ice cream at any time of the day, there is also a food menu that serves up diner classics like hot dogs and burgers. Great little neighborhood establishment close to Como Park. Trust me and take the detour! read more

Conny has something for every kind of ice cream lover, from dipped cones to sundaes, flurries and freezes. Who'd have thought soft serve could come in so many flavors? The pistachio is my favorite (so far). The soft serve is almost pillowy, beating DQ on texture for sure. And of course the price is awesome, you can treat the whole family to dessert for cheap! read more
