Ice cream season is upon us!!! My family and I visited Cullens and will definitely be back. Easy parking out front in the parking lot. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating. My daughter has a nut allergy and the accommodated us by making sure our ice cream was from the unopened case. My husband had 2 scoops of ice and I had shake. It has a family atmosphere with chill music. The candy wall was my daughter favorite part. read more

This store offers ice cream and candy. The walls are covered in different types of candy which was fun to look at. The staff were done nice high school age folk who were helpful in deciding which flavors to get - there were plenty of options! The portions were generous and the ice cream was super creamy. Perfect for going off on a hot day. The prices weren't bad either - around $8 for my two large scoops! read more

Best ice cream around champlin MN very friendly staff good prices for what you get an decent amount of ice cream my kids Love it..

I really like Cullens - 4 stars. I've been to the Coon Rapids location but this was my first stop at the Champlin location. It's a great place. They have lots of ice cream (of course) including a freezer full of packaged ice cream to-go. But Cullens has a lot more than ice cream...they have hundreds of varieties of candy, they have a big cooler full of craft style sodas, and they have popcorn! The customer service is great, the variety of sweets is impressive, and the prices are reasonable. I'd go back again any time. Thumbs up! -Maxx read more

Service was good, so many flavors to choose from, and the price was fair. Unfortunately I forgot what flavor I got, Oreo cheesecake I think? I came around closing at 7:40 and sat at a table for a little while, but didn't feel pressure to leave which I think speaks well of the staff. 5/5, would return and try more flavors! I got a size up from the kids scoop, the second option he offered and paid 5.74. read more

fantastic service but its just overpriced cedar crest ice cream :( there was an interesting candy and soda selection though!

Just what my sweet tooth was looking for! They offer a variety of yummy flavors. I tried two which were both delicious and full of fillings (cookie dough, brownies, caramel, etc.), but I had to go with a classic - chocolate peanut butter swirl. It was the perfect sweet and salty with plenty of PB. The size of the scoops are so big, I exclaimed, "What?! Is that just one scoop?!" She offered a kid scoop, I gladly accepted and was still amazed at the size. Lol Such a fantastic, perfectly made, icy cold treat on one of the first summery days we've had here in Minneapolis. My new favorite dessert stop. Fantastic! read more

Best local ice cream shop I have been to! The portion sizes are HUGE and come at a great price. So many different and fun flavors to choose from. & the service was great! I tried a few samples before making my final decision. Better than cold stone, but did have a similar layout. Plenty of parking too, but also a quick walk if you're in the neighborhood. Would recommend! read more

super cute! huge array of flavors and the owner is super nice and friendly! would definitely come back and to try more flavors and the waffle cone read more

I live 10 minutes from Champlin and have missed Cullens for 16 months letting this small town gem go unnoticed. It has the feel of a 1950's candy/ ice cream shop and has colorful but limited seating. You are treated to two once cream counters with home made ice cream, unique flavors and a lot of homemade specialties. We tried the ice cream, my kids wore a lot of it as evidenced by the photos and we even picked up some classic candy on the way out. The kids scoop is a good size for those not wanting a ton of ice cream and the family found its new ice cream home In the NW Metro! read more

Cullens Ice Cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Champlin, Minnesota

Awesome ice cream, amazing flavors. great staff. I had the key lime and it was delicious! Highly recommend!!

This place has never let me down! So many ice cream flavors along with unique candies and sodas. What always sticks out to me though is how cautious they are with allergies. I have a severe peanut allergy and they do have a sign up front that says they cannot guarantee anything to be allergen free, so love the honesty, but when I tell them about my allergy, they take out a whole new container just to guarantee the smallest risk of cross contamination! I've gone here multiple times as a Champlin Park student, and they take this action EVERY TIME!! Love everything about this shop! read more

This is one of our fav place to hit up after a school activity or even our sports games! Our kids LOVE being able to pick whatever they want and even a SF option which I greatly appreciate! Please try the scotcharoo it's 3 out of the 5 in our family's pick! read more

Cullens Ice Cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Champlin, Minnesota

One of my best friends swore that this was the best ice cream of the northern suburbs. He did not lie. Special props to Lillian for guiding to one of the hidden gems in the Key Lime Pie. I wouldn't have asked for that as one of my first picks but she was right on. What a great attitude about the whole thing. What a fun team. Next time I'm up there, this I'll definitely be one of my stop offs. Props to the team and the owners. You've got a great thing going! read more

Cullens is a ADORABLE little shop that has a HUGE selection of ice creams, old fashion candy/beverages and great customer service. Staff keeps the place clean and in great shape. They are great at helping you navigate all their flavors and helping you decide. (They helped me pick out a flavor I'd happily go back for over and over again). They also help you get in and out in a timely matter. (We all know we've waited in lines for tooo long waiting for some delicious ice cream at a DQ atleast once growing up...) They don't have a huge seating area in the shop but there is a large parking lot with grass out there to sit on. Some additional benches might be nice but not required. The staff is generous with their scoops, and they have a huge selection of candy and I'm not sure if there is anything better then a candy shop that doubles as a ice cream shop! I definitely plan to return for a delicious homemade waffle cone with their ice cream again! read more

Great place for getting ice cream. Owners are local and provide a small town feel. Service is very good and they will give your dog a dish if you ask. Fun to sit outside on a warm day. read more

This is the perfect place to go on a hot day if you're looking for some sweet relief. I stopped in with my mom and brother after seeing their sign on the sidewalk driving by and thinking, "Oh man, ice cream would be perfect right now!" AND IT WAS. As soon as we entered, the two staff members greeted us cheerily. Service was super friendly and it's clear that employees enjoy what they do. There are dozens of ice cream varieties that are out of the ordinary, fun combos of fruit and chocolate and crunchy candies. I don't want mint chip if I'm going out for ice cream, I want something extravagant, and Cullens has plenty! That said, it's hard to pick a flavor! But the employees were super helpful. Tell them one flavor you like (like say dark chocolate) and they will gush about all their favorite ice creams that feature dark chocolate. I ended up picking a Mackinac fudge flavor that was so so decadent, and my mom got a tasty dark chocolate and, I believe, raspberry flavor that she loved. There's some seating inside and it wasn't too busy but I imagine if it gets crowded there would be people standing around with ice cream. That said, it's a great outing and great ice cream and I'd recommend it to everyone! read more

Great local joint! Just opened up. This is just as good as any ice cream place I've been. Sabastian, grand ol, Sonny's. They don't have booze, but they do have old school candy and sodas. The servings are huge and the staff is very friendly. Easy 5 stars in my book! Everyone come get some! read more

The real thing! Great ice cream served by a family-owned business that does not scrimp on high-quality ingredients for their homemade ice creams and cones. Flavors to satisfy all tastes. Generous scoops and friendly service. Stop by and enjoy a local treat rather than the big franchise chains. read more

Great people and a absolute blessing to our community. The ice cream is always great and the selection of pop and candy are amazing. The only down side is we don't get them all year, but we all need a vacation sometimes. read more

So many choices and really really yummy ice cream. Lots of flavors and mix-ins and they even have bagged popcorn and other candies too! The customer service is outstanding....really really nice people! read more

This is one of my favorite ice cream shops! I reduced it by one star due to the very limited seating options. There's suffice parking and area for kids to park bikes. The staff is not stingy with the scooping and prices are fair. Another pro about this place is that it doubles as a candy store! read more

I am SO EXCITED about this place!! Honestly, 3 days before I found this place, a coworker and I were discussing our love for Cedar Crest ice cream, and how we didn't know of any local shops scooping it up, only grocery stores selling containers. It was fate! I didn't spend much time perusing the candy or sodas, but it seemed like there was quite a bit. Didn't evaluate seating or decor- took my cone to go, and honestly am not going to knock a new place back for paint jobs. What counts is 1) they had great , friendly service, 2) had excellent ice cream and 3) the portions were ridiculous! I've had Cedar Crest via grocery store and hand-scooped from ice cream shoppes, and my personal favorite is the Coconut Explosion! Which I highly recommend. Tonight I decided to go with All American Cherry, a feature flavor of the summer. I glanced at the menu board, and thanks to the drawings on the white board, I knew a "single" was more like a "double". In fact, the "single" scoop was so large that I made it all the way home to Coon Rapids and still wasn't down to my cone yet. GO HERE! I know I'm excited for my next trip, soon! read more

Great new ice cream palace, tons of flavors and good quality ice cream. Also have a good selection of craft sodas and candy if you want to get your sugar on. I will come back and suggest anyone check it out. Only thing I would note is it is not ice cream made in house, I think it is Cedar Crest which is still great ice cream. read more

Took the family to Cullen's for the first time for some ice cream. They have many delicious flavors. I had the homemade waffle cone with a coffee and Carmel flavor. Super good. They also have unique soda and candy. It's a great little place. read more

Went to the new shop in Coon rapids, wayyyyy to expensive for a very sub par malt and ice cream cone. The malt had a good amount of malt in it but the cookie dough was hardly represented. There were also ice chunks in my malt. Go to Culver's for a much better and cheaper malt then what you would get here. Very disappointed. read more

Went to the Coon Rapids location. Not impressed and they serve cedar crest ice cream that you can buy in the grocery store.

This place has a great atmosphere and the owner and his wife are very personable and make you feel like family. This business is a real Blessing to the community. Take the family over not matter ho far you live and you will not be disappointed. This place is great the ice cream is wonderful. read more

Just tried this place for the first time. Ok selection of ice cream; I had the pistachio and it was delicious. I ordered one scoop and expected that; they gave me about 5...so great large portions! I love the selection of old school sodas they have in the back along with the candy. The only thing I would've liked to see would be more tables both inside and out and more decor as it was lacking but that may be because they just opened up recently. read more

Our families favorite ice-cream/ candy store!!! I love the ma and pop atmosphere. The owners are amazing and super friendly. The ice cream is fantastic I love the old school soda & candy! It's always clean! Just wish they were open in the winter! Ice Cream is fantastic ALL YEAR ROUND! read more
