Minnehaha Scoop is located on a corner with (free) street parking available. Seating available is only outside, but dog friendly. On a Friday, around 6:20 pm, my husband, our little girl dog and I decided to try the ice cream here on our last night in Minneapolis since it was so close to our vacation rental. After trying a few samples of their ice cream flavors, I ended up ordering: 2 Scoops, $6: moose tracks & birthday cake- I am such a fan of birthday cake flavored desserts and thought Minnehaha Scoop's flavor was good. You can taste the sprinkles and vanilla, which complemented each other. I liked the chocolate in the moose tracks. The 2 scoops was more than enough for the 3 of us to share. But my husband thought it would be better to let our little girl get her own order of ice cream... Doggie Sundae, $2.50.- This comes with 1 scoop of plain ice cream and a handful of dog treats adoring that scoop. My husband tried our little girl's ice cream, which tasted like a plain milk flavor. Our little girl really liked it, along with the treats. But this is definitely a lot for a small dog and would be great to share between 2 small little pups or maybe good enough for a larger dog. ----------------------- (Total= $8.50, tax included) Please note that there is a minimum of $10 for credit card transactions and that this place cannot take bills larger than $20. Also there are no public restrooms available. Minnehaha Scoop is a great local neighborhood ice cream place with numerous of flavors offered each day. If only we lived around here, we would be a regular here, especially during the summer.

We got the coupon on the mail and it looks awesome so we have it a try for something different. Of course we didn't bring the coupon but oh well. The ice cream was good. Service was great. Love samples. They had some unusual flavors but hard to remember. I wanted to try their raspberry rhapsody but they were out and so I went with their coconut almond bliss. It didn't have a lot of coconut or almond so that was nice. The chocolate blends the ingredients tighter for a nice crunchy, salty tastes. The waffle cone was good. It was little pricey for a single scoop and you can get it in a cup or cone but on the menu board it only shows come.

This was my first time here, I live only blocks away but not a big ice cream person. That said, this place was awesome! They have a wide variety of flavors (see pic) and also have dairy free ice cream. My favorite item here however was the root beer float. The prices are fair (see pic) and the staff was really friendly. I'll definitely be coming back.

This place is solid. Super friendly and quick, excellent prices for real ice cream. No stunts necessary. There are no bits of smashed up cereal on top, no glitter cones, no artisanal brewery-collaboration gummy worms, and I mean all of that in the best way possible. It's really good, we didn't have to wait in line for an hour behind an Instagram group. They have a huge selection of interesting flavors, ample free parking. Can't really go wrong here. I had a sugar cone with a scoop of This $&@" Just Got Serious and my kid had Cookie Dough. It was awesome, we've got leftovers in the freezer.

You can tell a lot of thought and craftsmanship go into each dessert--these weren't just sweets, they felt like edible works of art. The chocolate flavors were rich without being overwhelming, and each item had its own unique twist that made the experience fun and memorable. Everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully balanced, which made it hard to pick a favorite. If you enjoy inventive desserts done well, Edward Dessert Kitchen is definitely worth the stop. I'd absolutely go back to try more of their creations.

Wish I would have visited more often. Staff were friendly. Sad they are closing the doors for good soon. Such a cute place! We got there in the evening so they were out of a lot things (very limited options for desserts) but they still have drink options. I got the hummingbird and mango oat milk matcha. My sister got the brookie (brownie cookie). Everything was really good. The place was packed and stayed consistently busy! They close 6/29/25.

I got the cookie dough and loved it, but I was also really impressed that they had several dairy-free sherbet options. The homemade waffle cone was insanely good and honestly one of the best parts. Definitely worth getting instead of a cup. It was pretty busy when we went, but the line moved quickly and the staff handled the rush really well. Everyone was friendly and the whole experience was easy despite how busy it was. Great ice cream, massive portions, and that waffle cone alone is worth coming back for.

First visit in a long time. This time I went for a single scoop in a regular size waffle cone…read more($1.50 upcharge). It was a lot! Had it been in a cup I could have definitely shared it with someone else. The flavor was Red Velvet. With a about 16 ice creams in the case, they let you try samples, and after trying that one (my second) I was sold! While it doesn't have the tang that red Velvet cake has (yes the cake, not just the frosting) I really enjoyed it. The texture was very pleasant. You get the creamy ice cream, with the mixed in cake, and bits of mini chocolate chips in each bite. Yum!!! Aside from the ice cream case, they also had a cooler with ice cream sandwiches, and several flavors of pint sized ice cream. Some of those flavors weren't even in the case (like a cinnamon toast crunch one). There were several tables indoors and outside so seating wasn't an issue. The only thing that could be is parking don't let that deter you. I look forward to returning for another flavor.

I wanted to eat every item on the menu and had to limit myself so now I have to return at least 3 to 4 more times to order everything I would love to try. See my comments about the photos because that'll let you know just how delicious everything is. I also had the crab ravioli, and that was out of this world and then the rabbit pasta dish was also quite tasty if you like that kind of game (not pictured). My mocktail was refreshing & the decaf coffee with dessert was the best decaf I remember having. The restaurant was packed even at early dinner and by the time we left, there was a line out the door. I don't see that very often anymore and I can see why they are going so strong right now. Great atmosphere, upbeat music pulsing in the background. People come here to celebrate and I got to sit beside people having an anniversary. It is so cheerful because everybody knows they're going to eat something delicious and they are right.

Good food in spots, but an underwhelming overall experience…read more It's hard to reconcile the experience with the restaurant's reputation. Service started out well but felt increasingly scripted and impersonal as the evening went on. Our server seemed knowledgeable about menu availability but offered little in the way of specials, recommendations, or genuine guidance, and rarely checked on us once the food arrived. The timing was surprisingly disjointed. Our bruschetta arrived before either of our drinks, my wine came well before his cocktail, and the sides arrived well after the main dishes. Menus were left on the table, too. The food runners were good and silverware changes were handled properly, but the overall service lacked the coordination and attentiveness you'd expect. The food had some highlights: the bruschetta was delicious, the gnocchi with cauliflower and orange was excellent and fresh, and the sweet potatoes were very good. Unfortunately, the cavatelli with rabbit sugo fell flat and lacked flavor. Even the atmosphere felt a little contrived. The prominent black-and-white photo of Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings seemed disconnected from the otherwise bare walls, rather than part of a thoughtfully curated space. Combined with the scripted service and lack of genuine engagement, the overall impression was almost "this is what we think a great restaurant should look and feel like," rather than an experience that felt natural, welcoming, or particularly memorable. We'd enjoyed a few cocktails before arriving, thinking dinner would be the highlight of the night, but it never quite delivered. For a restaurant with such a strong reputation and the wait times to match, I expected more polished timing, thoughtful recommendations, and genuine hospitality. At around $160, the experience felt overpriced for what we received. In retrospect, neighboring spots like Parlor and Butcher & the Boar lived up to the hype more.
