Nelson's ice cream in Stillwater is a must stop if you are in the area! They are a cash only spot…read moreserving up a TON of flavors! My husband loves that they offer Black Licorice flavor and I love the Peanut Butter Revel flavor! Do not be fooled by the cup size that is offered as they STACK those things full! A child size is be enough to feed an adult if not 2 adults! The place is small with no indoor seating but tons of seating outdoors! There is often a line but worth the wait! Pro tip- they are cash only but do have an atm on site. Also be sure to grab an extra cup on the way out to avoid spillage!

Nothing says summer like Nelson's! I've been coming to this spot since I was a kid with my family…read more Today, we brought a couple of friends so they could experience the magic of this little ice cream shop. As two adults, we split the kid's size cup of the 100th Celebration (peanut butter cookies and cream). We asked for an extra cup on top, and ended up splitting it into two cups. We sat outside on site and, although it was messy, it was delicious! We couldn't even finish our portion. The perfect treat on a hot summer day. Be warned - this establishment is cash only! The lines get long, but move relatively quickly.

I've passed by Mabel's Ice Cream & Coffee Shop a few times and always thought it looked like the…read morecutest little spot and on National Ice Cream Day, after an evening of swimming, we finally stopped in. It did not disappoint! You can either go inside the house or order from the outside window, we stayed outside and loved it. There are plenty of places to sit and relax, and the whole setup feels like you're hanging out in someone's backyard. Super cute and laid-back, with extras like cornhole and photo areas that make it even more fun. There were so many options to choose from, but we landed on: 2 root beer floats, Ice cream nachos with cookie dough and caramel collision (so good!), 1 scoop of playdough ice cream. Everything was tasty, and the staff was friendly and patient while we made our picks. It was the perfect treat after a sunny day. The only downside and the reason for 4 stars instead of 5 was that we had a coupon but weren't allowed to use it or even apply the value toward our purchase. A little disappointing, especially since it was our first visit. That said, Mabel's has so much charm, and I'd love to come back to try the coffee next time. Definitely a spot worth visiting!

Vegans be warned. They state vegan options on the menu, but they did not have any on the menu when…read morewe arrived. We were told that they rotate flavors, but that doesn't make sense because you should have at least one vegan flavor if you are going to advertise vegan options.

Stopped by to try their twist cone while we were strolling along the river front in Stillwater…read more There was a line, but it moved quite quickly. The soft serve twist cones was fluffy and really hit the spot on that hot day. My husband had the malt and it was equally as delicious! Will definitely come again when we are in the area!

This was my third or fourth visit to Leo's but felt the quality has gone down a bit since my first…read moretwo visits. The milkshake was overly sweet, there wasn't proper ventilation so the venue was brimming with oily greasy smells that just sat heavily in the air--it was even too hot inside. The service was ok. They also charge you extra if you say you want to split your milkshake all for bringing you an extra cup. Better tip: order one milkshake because they bring the extra in a tin cup anyway and you save money from having the extra served in a glass...totally unnecessary to choose the "share" option on their menu--it's the same amount.

Put the phone in your pocket and sprint to Gloria's!…read more I had the milkshake, and not to be outdone by Leo's, it was fantastic for on the go while watching the scenic and serene St Croix River.

I had come all the way from California and was looking forward to trying them and so disappointed they couldn't get me a little cone! We had hit a deer the day before and wrecked our rental car, so this trip to Minnesota had bad luck all the way around!

The ice cream is Bridgemans which we love and ironically we were at their shop in Woodbury yesterday. Great quality ice cream. They have a huge patio area to enjoy your cool treats. They are also super close to the waterfront. One of the cool features is their color changing spoons they provide with their ice cream. The prices are very good compared to other ice cream shops! Welcome to the neighborhood!

I like Dipsy Ice Cream Shoppe - 4 stars!…read more Two of us checked out the new Dipsy after grabbing some food at San Pedro. It was the perfect way to top off a spicy meal on a hot summer day. Dipsy has multiple ice cream flavors and a plethora of shaved ice flavors. We ordered ice cream and it was great. It was nice to enjoy the flavors in the outdoor seating area, multiple picnic style tables in between Dipsy and the coffee shop. The two young women running the show were awesome! They were very friendly, funny, personable, and bubbling over with energy. This is a nice change. I've had many sketchy experiences at ice cream shops that were manned by grumpy, sour faced kids that want to be somewhere else. NOT at Dipsy though. The women were great representatives of the brand. I really like the design of the shop too. The bright color schemes are very cheery and they work great for this type of venue. I gave them 4 stars because I'm kinda skimpy with the places that I rate a top tier 5. For ice cream shops, I usually reserve the highest rating for the places that take it to another level and operate their own creamery in-house, making their own ice cream on-site. No disrespect to Dipsy though. They do a great job. Dipsy is a wonderful addition to the Hudson food scene. I wish them many years of success. Thumbs up! -Maxx

The kid just kept pushing buttons and when I pointed it out he told me it was OK, well it was not.

Terrible service and food, hard pass next time.

The ice pops were delicious, and you could taste all of the wonderful, fresh flavors that were put into it. My son must have never eaten a popsicle made with real ingredients because he kept asking me what the little things were on our popsicles--they were strawberry seeds. The ice pops even have cute little inspirational quotes to read when you're all done and sad that it's gone. I love that there's no corn syrup in it. I really enjoyed being able to taste and recognize the ingredients in the ice pop. Will definitely be grabbing more the next time I'm at the market.
