Milkjam Creamery sets the standard for what great ice cream should be. The flavors are inventive,…read morethe texture is consistently creamy, and everything tastes carefully crafted rather than gimmicky. My go-to flavors are Uncle Grandpa, Uma Thurman, and Pineapple Lychee. Uncle Grandpa is comforting and rich, Uma Thurman is smooth and indulgent without being heavy, and Pineapple Lychee is bright, tropical, and incredibly refreshing. Even if you're not usually a sorbet person, this one converts people. What really says it all is this: Milkjam is the one ice cream shop I make a point to visit every single month. I don't do that with any other ice cream place. The quality is that consistent. The shop has a fun, welcoming vibe, the staff is great with samples and recommendations, and the rotating menu keeps things exciting. If you love ice cream and live in (or are visiting) the Twin Cities, Milkjam is non-negotiable.

We got a cup of ice cream. He got Cappuccino Break, and I got strawberry. Strawberry is my favorite ice cream flavor. If you like coffee and chocolate, then you'd enjoy the CB. My friend really enjoyed it. It was too chocolatey for me. I do not like chocolate, so it stands to reason why I'd not love it. The strawberry ice cream made me think of when we'd make ice cream at home when we were children. It was hard work, yet always worth it. There was a great balance of strawberries to creaminess. The service was quick and friendly, and I'm glad that we stopped by. Will probably go again on Saturday, as we'll be back in the area. My son loved their Superman ice cream, so we'll see if he still wants to eat is all these years later. If you're in the area, stop by. You, your taste buds, and your tummy, will be glad that you did.

Tucked into a Minneapolis…read moreneighborhood, this cozy little shop serves some of the richest, most flavorful ice cream we've had anywhere. We drove all the way from Victoria, MN, through rush-hour traffic--and would gladly do it again. What truly sets Pumphouse apart is its commitment to fresh, local ingredients and incredibly creative flavors. The seasonal rhubarb ice cream was unforgettable: perfectly balanced, fresh, and unlike anything you'll find at a typical ice cream shop. The experience went beyond the ice cream itself. The staff was welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely fun, making us feel less like customers and more like neighborhood regulars. We're already planning another trip back to stock up on pints before the seasonal flavors disappear.

They make truly amazing ice cream using local milk and high-quality ingredients, and you can taste the richness in every flavor. The rotating menu keeps things exciting, but they always keep a few fan favorites. The flights are one of my favorite things to get. They're mini scoops, which makes it so fun to try different flavors without committing to just one. My top picks are the caramelized white chocolate, the sea salt caramel pecan, and the salted honey. All three are incredible. You can also grab pints to go, and the prices are super reasonable. A five-scoop flight for $6 is such a steal. Pump House is always worth the stop, and easily one of the best ice cream shops in the Twin Cities.

This is such a cute ice cream shop! Never heard of it until my sister took me here (she probably…read moreseen it on TikTok or something lol). They have menus to checkout before you approach the counter. They have a few tables inside, some picnic tables along the outside of the restaurant and a super cute Euro themed patio. I really want to go back later in the evening to check it out & get more ice cream or a drink! This time I got a butter toffee scoop which had dark chocolate chunks in it. Very good. They have a one way flow of traffic through the shop, so if you need to reenter or use the bathroom you have to go back around to the front door. Staff were pretty chill. Street parking only, pretty easy to find a spot as it's in a less congested area.

I still come to Minneapolis a few times a year and Sebastian joes is at the top of my list for places I must go to when I'm in town. Nothing is better than getting a cup of Pavarotti after a warm day on the lake. But I still come in the winter time because it's that good! Such unique flavors and a really cute interior. The cups they put the ice cream in are even cute. You must try the Pavarotti. It's a banana and caramel flavor which normally I'm not a fan of either of those but there's something about this that's absolutely delicious. Please never get rid of this flavor Sebastian joes!!

If you walk from the parking ramp, down to Bellecour Cafe and look straight across the street, you will see this place! The vibes in here are honestly lacking and the only reason I dropped a star. There is very little seating, so expect to take your ice cream to go. In the summer, that's not a problem as there is ample seating outside! But during the cooler months, there is only one table and a couple of small benches. Everything here is also white and with a name like "sweet science" I was expecting more "science stuff" The staff here was absolutely lovely!! Very polite and super friendly! You are allowed to try samples and these gals seemed to be having fun with their job! Down to business: The ice cream was DELICIOUS! I am lactose intolerant, so having some vegan (dairy free) options was great! It looks like they use cashew milk for most of those bases. I hate cashews but this didn't taste like cashews at all! I got the vanilla chocolate chip and it was creamy, perfect vanilla and the chocolate chips added a very nice texture! Would highly recommend!! My boyfriend got a mint ice cream with cookie dough pieces and a marshmallow fluff that they torched! Very good! He was extremely impressed! I would absolutely recommend this place!

A quick walk over to this small shop. The space isn't necessarily for hanging out, but it's clean and modern. Perfect to grab and go for a stroll around the 50th and France shoppes. The staff was incredibly friendly and positive, when when we showed up right before closing. The ice cream was perfect! Creamy and dreamy, not icy at all! I had their Coffee and Cookie flavor, which had a strong, pleasantly bitter coffee taste, balanced perfectly with cream and cookie bits. A lovely scoop for sure!

Came here for brunch and loved it…read more It's tucked into the bottom of an apartment building, so it's a bit unexpected, but once you're inside it has such a luxe, chic vibe. The space feels elevated and really well designed. Parking is a little limited in the lot, but there are additional options across the street which helps. Our server Baye took amazing care of us and gave great recommendations. Service overall was really strong and made the experience even better. The menu is impressive with a wide variety of flavorful options, and I really appreciated that they clearly label gluten free items. Such a great touch. They have classic brunch options but also some great savory, sweet, and worldly flavored options.

Wasn't too busy when we arrived but by time we left it was packed. The food is asian fusion, very unique dishes and flavor profiles. I went with Wings and Fries, my friend got wings (a different flavor) and chips and salsa. I honestly didn't care for the wings. the texture of the batter/skin was off putting for me (looks like it would be crispy but pretty soggy). They had a lot of flavor though spice wise. The staff were pretty attentive. They kind of all worked together to do whatever needed to be done to help. Super nice ambiance! They even have a photography policy but you can't see it unless you use the restroom. The bathrooms were even a vibe- cute decor, birds chirping (lofi sounds), and warm hand towels. To the right of the bar is a super cute dining room filled with plants. The seating and all is just impressive here.

I'm ok with this, but it does move the Malt Shop to a lower level right off the bat. So we ordered, paid, sat and waited. The place didn't have any background music. Long gone is the piano and some local playing for you. But not even speakers with music? Because of this it was overly quiet and you could hear every conversation in the room. The couple that were sitting next to us left. Their plates were still there when we left 20 minutes later. Food arrived. Fries were cold. Cheese burger was cold and mostly tasteless. My daughter's grilled cheese was the only thing not cold. And the waiter didn't take the plates from the next table. Malts arrived about half way through the meal. Good malts this time. Waiter again didn't take the dirty trays next to us. I doubt we will go again. But, who knows?

Then the ice cream display/coolers looked a bit dirty as well and had a bit of condensation leaking inside over the ice cream. These things turned my mom off from trying anything. I decided to still give it a try. I got the Strawberry cheesecake ice cream in a sugar cone. It was a miss. Was expecting more of a strawberry flavor to be present and it wasn't. Honestly can't explain what it tasted like but wasn't my favorite. They do give a decent amount of ice cream for the price. They have parking around the back shared with caribou. No seating inside but a table outside and a few over at caribou outside. They also told us about the time President Obama visited and what her ordered so that was cool. Staff were pretty nice but immediately disappeared to the back after handing over our order.
