I just really enjoyed the consistency of their ice cream and thought it was pretty affordable. Now that I know it's a specialty ice cream place--it's definitely affordable for what they offer and in comparison to other places. All the workers are really friendly as well and it's very colorful inside. The place is upbeat and fun. I've never bought anything else from here but I come back every time I want ice cream!!

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.

I watched these guys stay busy with a continuous line as we passed them multiple times over the 4 hours we were here. I have to say, I'm impressed! It was the end of that day and they still whipped that ice cream up with as much as energy as they probably would have at the beginning of their day (dang that has to be a work out to do that all day long!!) With only 2 ice plates (or whatever you call those things), the line moves a bit slow. But the entertainment makes it worth the wait. Was I impressed? Mmm...it was as stellar tasting tasting as Ben & Jerry's or some of the gourmet handcrafted ice cream shops around the cities but the cool flavors, the visual appeal and watching them make it - and good customer service- gets my 5 stars. And my little one? Ohh he freakin' loved it!!!

This ice cream shop is a hidden gem within a gas station on the corner of McKnight and Larpenteur…read more I ordered the number 1 and selected two flavors, coconut and Ube. I selected this option for the young coconut shell base. It was topped with nuts and red beans. The bottom had green sticky rice, clear treats (forgot what they were called), and coconut meat. Both flavors of ice cream tasted yummy. I never thought of a combination flavor of sticky rice and ice cream would go well and it kinda worked. If you don't want the coconut base, you can order it in a cup. It is cheaper and comes in the same way, minus the coconut. There are hot food items available for those who don't want ice cream. I didn't pay attention to the hot food this time; however, I did notice the sign that let customers know their egg rolls protein is turkey. Someone in my party did ordered it and said it was delicious. Service was fast and friendly. There are a few tables and chairs for those who want to enjoy the treat inside. I definitely would stop by again.

The waffle cones were being freshly made on site and service was prompt and polite. I had the superman which was vanilla ice cream with three magical colors mixed into it and each one tasty like a different fruit loop which I was into. The other scoop was strawberry and man oh man was it good. All in all the prices have gotten out of control for things in the twin cities but the ice cream was one of the better ice creams I've had in the twin cities.

I ordered the Biscoff flavor and the raspberry/dark chocolate/Graham cracker flavor. Honestly, you can't go wrong with Biscoff anything. I was happy to see plentiful crumbs of cookies! It wasn't the creamiest ice cream, but I could tell there was a TON of cookie butter and cookies in it which might have affected the texture. The flavor that really shone was the raspberry one. YUM. It tasted fresh, not at all heavy, the chocolate chunks were plentiful and thin which helped the texture, and the Graham crackers (which the menu said were special!) were delicious and blended together perfectly with the other flavors. I never thought of that combination, but now I just might have to make a raspberry s'more some day. I asked others with me how their various flavors were, and everyone raved about it - especially the blue raspberry dairy-free option. Well done, Hometown! I hope there's a brick-and-mortar open again soon!

She looked very annoyed at being called and that made us feel uncomfortable. I asked if they had sample cups to try flavors. She said no. She also said "I don't know what to tell ya" when I asked how do we know which flavor to buy if I've never had. For context, I'm accustom to being provided sample cups or tasters of the special flavors at ALL other ice cream and froyo palors I wanted to try something new but this place doesn't offer samples like other parlors. I decided not to try them. My friend did try it and said it wasn't good. The flavors are mild tasty like sugary water. The attendant was rude AND the froyo was terrible. Not for me.

Many flavoring options to pick from as well. It's a cute space that's bright and seating options on both sides. The gal helping me was friendly and upbeat.

I got mint chocolate chip while the kiddo got Superman (obviously). The ice cream was good, nothing to write home about and a little pricey for what you get.

Great space for a meeting or to change up your view on a remote job.
