I appreciate the floors and decoration, they 100% lean into the Italian culture. The service is always great, everyone smiles and makes sure your selection is to your liking. I've gotten coffee, macaroons, gelato, everything from here and they never disappoint. It's always a great time, especially meeting friends or just grabbing some good sips on the go. I had a gelato with one scoop of this raspberry sorbet and another scoop mango, I loved the fruitiness and texture. It's a bit pricey which knocks down a star, but otherwise a lifelong favorite. P.S. I love the parking and that ITS FREE.

A great neighborhood coffee and gelato (and affogato) spot!…read more They have a cute outdoor seating area (on sidewalk out front) and a couple bar stools inside. Super friendly staff that seem to genuinely want to get to know you and your pup (if you have one). Love that they are dog friendly. Affogato here was top notch. They have their own soft serve gelato with rotating flavors. I've also had an iced latte which was good. Prices are a little on the steeper side, but the quality is there.

AMAZING THIS DRINK…read moreIS EVERYTHING! You need to try it out. The soft serve gelato paired with the chai?! They also have a matcha, coffee, and earl gray option! It's so heavenly, and the last few sips are so creamy. The interior itself is very tiny and cramped, so it's more of a grab and go drink. The baristas were all so sweet, and made for a great overall experience:)

Ben Neumann has been around for about 10 years. If you love a variety of pies this is your place…read more My favorites are the thaw and serve and many have a pretzel crust or a cookie crust. Most are seasonal and I'm glad it's fruit pie time. I recently got the Margarita pie. Two of us go through it in 3 days. Nothing better to do than eat pie all weekend, especially these. My other favorite is the tiger striped chocolate cream. He does savory and also hand pies if you want to sample or eat it on the spot. He started a variety of ice creams, too. All your ordering is on line then you arrange a pick up time. So get on the list. He has set up his garage for all the sales. If you ever want a pie in your face, better hope it's from here.

Sonny was always there, and always made everything better. I don't remember how we said "the vibes are good" in the 1900s, but the vibes were so very good at the turn of the last century. I moved out of the neighborhood, but still tried to get back as often as possible. I am so very glad Sonny's is up and running. The Ice Cream seems less ice cream like than it used to, and more gelato like. That's fine, but it's noticeable. The prices are a little higher than comparable places, but that's ok too. But the vibes are just off.

In-house creamery, on-site made ice cream - 5 stars!…read more If any of you have read my reviews of ice cream shops, you know that I love dairy and I love, love, love in-house craft ice cream! You really can't beat the quality. And you can definitely taste the difference. This isn't mass produced Kemps or Cedar Crest factory ice cream - it's the real deal. I checked out Big Dipper after grabbing some sushi nearby. I stumbled across them while driving out of the big mall area. I'm glad I was paying attention. What a find! I ordered a cup of chocolate peanut butter ice cream. Yum! I'm jealous that I don't have a creamery near my home in the Anoka area. Thumbs up! -Maxx

With that in mind, it is a pleasant surprise that this is such a homey, welcoming-feeling ice cream joint. The ice cream I got was truly amazing; I got a double-dip with Peanut Butter Swirl and brownie-something. Super good combination, and I wound up getting a pint of the Peanut Butter swirl to take home. It had such strong peanut flavor and aroma, I'm really impressed! They also serve 1919 root beer on tap which is awesome. Apparently it's all homemade ice cream, and it certainly has that flavor to it in the most positive way. I am going to be sad when my pint of Peanut Butter Swirl is depleted. I will return for more, no question.

I could see that since last time I was here this location has gotten a little busier. Since this restaurant is located, next to Sustainable safari, which is a tropical style animal petting zoo. Of course when I walked up, I knew exactly what to order, and that was the strawberry crepe. It seemed to have the perfect meld of dessert and lunch rolled into one. Of course it seemed to only take like 5 minutes for my order. Considering how busy they seemed was not a bad wait. I couldn't wait to devour my crepe. What more could I ask for with sliced strawberries, and some whipped cream, and chocolate drizzled all over my wrapped up crepe. It was almost like trying a rolled up burrito, but even better, especially since it was having breakfast for lunch. I did not leave any leftovers for later. When considering going out to eat, I felt that was a good thing. I so want to go back again, and maybe try a waffle, or two. To see what the other half of the menu tastes like. Maybe have a smoothie with my meal, since that was on the menu as well.
