We popped in on a hot day to get some ice cream. This was exactly the type of place I was looking…read morefor. We entered through the backdoor, however, and I didn't realize they had another whole case at the front so I missed a bunch of the flavors. I had the Mint Explosion (?) which was tasty and creamy - no ice particles here! No one really greeted us or asked if we had any questions, which was a little frustrating. My husband seemed in a rush so I just ordered but would have preferred to have known if I could do more than 1 flavor in a cup or if they had cones? (Everyone was getting cups which makes me think no?) The menu wasn't super clear, though I suppose for regulars its fine. We sat inside, but the outdoor patio/garden was nice and they had plenty of seating in the SHADE!

Ice cream was tasty, so that's the main thing. It was a mid-90s day, so they were very very busy…read more Service was pretty quick for how many people were in line when we got there. I am the last person to tell someone to smile. SO annoying! But, the 3 people working looked so unhappy to be there. No friendliness whatsoever. Now, I am obviously not aware of placement of individuals on the neurodivergency scale, but if one is in customer service and especially serving ice cream, some level of joyfulness might be expected. Perhaps even, dare I say, a smile when a customer makes a funny mistake. I know I said they were busy, but they didn't seem frantic or overrun in any way. It just felt a bit uncomfortable, like when you walk in on an argument and they stop because you came in. BUT, back to the ice cream. It was good. Would have loved a peanut butter chocolate flavor (not available that day), but was okay with cookie dough and Macha as a surpringly good combo. We also had the cafe latte da, which was amazing! Will likely go back again with hopes of a more comfortable, maybe even joyful, experience. I'll be sure to time it when PB Loves Chocolate is being served!

The guy at the counter was super helpful on informing us on the specials and the other locations in MN. This location had a little counter to stand and eat your cookies if you wanted, but no seating.

Oh yes.. the classic chocolate chunk is also hit. I enjoyed the Limoncello as it reminded me of the Lemonades Girl Scout cookie but better. I'm sure we will venture back here.

Another recommendation for the customer is to remove the tomato (unless tomatoes are your thing) as it tends to 'water' down the creaminess of the cheese.

Yet I settled on chai tea, butter chicken and garlic naan. Perfectly cooked rice with chicken simmered in a creamy tomato-based sauce flavored with butter, garlic, ginger, and warm spices. I asked for medium heat but it was very mild. Garlic naan was soft, fluffy flatbread traditionally brushed with butter and topped with fresh garlic and herbs. It was super good when dipped in the butter chicken sauce. This makes me crave lentil soup and lemon rice.
