Soft serve ice cream with creative and generous toppings. If you are looking for dairy free soft serve this is a place you should not skip. For the rest, the flavors are very good, and if you like an ice cream with lots of add ins this place is for you. I suggest sharing. If you prefer simple you should just order the soft serve, you won't be missing out the flavors are brilliant. Smoothness: this soft serve is not Dairy Queen, it is its own thing, it is a little "icy" while staying soft and smooth. That said they keep it simple and if you are worried about too many extras this place does not take short cuts and has real food. The minneapolis location is in a charming old building, parking can be a challenge but there is a lot to park in. read more

I Can't Believe It's Vegan! Sorry margarine for stealing your slogan. Omg the ube soft serve is amazing! Creamy and I can taste the ube flavor. You can pick 3 free toppings - I got strawberries, toasted marshmallow, and Oreos. Service was friendly and fast. I sat inside where it was air conditioned and appreciated being able to charge my phone as they have outlets. They also give you a discount if you pay in cash. Pup cups are available for $1. Would come back for sure! read more

MN Nice Cream - Ube soft serve with strawberries, Oreos, & toasted marshmallow. True words to live by! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Stumbled across this place when we were near by for dinner. We gave it a try because they had dairy free options which my husband needs. Staff was friendly even though they were super busy. It is a very small space inside (cute bright colors) but they did have a good size area for sitting outside. I am giving a 4 not 5 because the regular ice cream was fine but I didn't find it to be anything special. My husband however was happy with the non dairy option. read more

I heard good things about this spot and was finally able to make it in. We tried the Cookie Monster and Happy Camper Sunday. It was pretty tasty with all of the fixings in it. I really enjoyed my warm and toasted marshmallow. We both agreed that the vanilla soft serve was lacking vanilla flavor. I've had better tasting soft serve. Prices are fair and staff were friendly. I would go again and switch it up next time - maybe try the chocolate. read more

Really awesome hole in the wall the provided a plethora of flavors. Really enjoyed the small space, next to a hard kombucha brewery and also kind staff. I would stop by here again and try something new each time. read more

Good soft serve ice cream! Loved the toasted marshmallow and graham crackers on it. That being said, the ice cream itself tastes like standard soft serve. There are some interesting flavors occasionally it seems, there was one called Blue Moon that tasted like almonds. Quick service and they let you try samples of the flavors! Lots of seating outside, I will say that this was a little hard for me to find this location. It's on the second floor of another building near NBC. read more

This used to be my favorite ice cream, but it was not as good as I remember. The atmosphere is great, the employees friendly, the edible glitter is amazing, but the ice cream is less creamy and the whole cup was hollow so we didn't feel like this was worth the price at all. I'll still bring the kids here, but I'll get my soft serve fix at other spots now unfortunately! read more

MN Nice Cream always has something new with their rotating flavors, which makes every visit exciting. As someone with both gluten and dairy allergies, it's such a treat to be able to enjoy a safe ice cream cone--something that's hard to find! While the topping options are a bit limited due to my dietary restrictions, the overall experience is great. The vibe is fun, the staff is friendly, and I always leave happy. Definitely a go-to for a sweet treat! read more

MN Nice Cream - Dairy Free Soft serve with a gluten-free cone - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

As a lactose intolerant sufferer I really appreciate the non dairy soft serve options available here. What is also unique about this place is they often rotate out their specialty flavors so there's always something new to try! You have several ways to order your soft serve from just in a plain ole cup to one with a cone and all the works. Parking can be somewhat tough if there's an event going on but it's not impossible. read more

Cute ice cream shop that was a little confusing to get into (I'm directionally challenged and just didn't know where the entrance was). I truly only got the gluten free cone because it was rainbow. I would not get the gluten free cone again, but did liked the vanilla ice cream! The people working there were also nice and helped me decide whether I wanted glitter or not (they got me with "it's free"). The glitter didn't taste like anything, which was ideal. It just made it sparkle and look pretty. There is seating outside if you want to hang out. Overall, I'd come back to try other things! read more

MN Nice Cream - Vanilla in a gluten free cone with graham crackers and glitter - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Important note: this is a soft serve + fun toppings ice cream shop. It's not traditional ice cream. $: it's expensive. My husband and I paid $15-16 for 2. Could we have shared 1? Yes. Did we? No. Parking: a pain. It's near breweries and other businesses and there's no lot. So you'll likely drive around for a few minutes to street park if it's a busy summer night. Set up: Once you get into the building, you need to wait in line that wraps into the hallway of the building itself because the ice cream shop it's self is narrow. So after you wait to park you wait to get in, haha. Staff was nice! Shop was fun and colorful! If you don't prefer soft serve through, it's not worth the money. I've never hated it, just never loved it and don't feel the need to come back! read more

MN Nice Cream - Store is so cute - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Caught the food truck this particular outing and kept it straightforward. Vanilla soft serve in a waffle cone. If you've never been they offer a ton of different toppings you can get and usually have featured flavors. I'm basic so the classic vanilla is always my go to. They also don't do milk based ice cream which is unique and honestly, you really don't notice other than it will melt quicker. If you like soft serve and have never checked them out, hard to pass up. Oh btw my attached picture - $5.50. You can't beat that. read more

Adorable small ice cream shop. The girl helping me noticed it was my first time there and gave me a great breakdown of what my options were. Love that you can add edible glitter to your soft serve for free! Their vanilla + chocolate are both lactose free. They offer vegan option too. Their sundaes are fun and delicious. Highly recommend stopping in if you're in the area. read more

MN Nice Cream - Pebbles & Bam Bam - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Stopped in on a Friday night about 30 min before they closed. We quickly selected our choices from the specialty sundaes, waffle cones and soft serve ice cream flavors. A medium specialty Sunday's is about $7 + tax/tip. The ice cream only took a few minutes and when you see the specialty you know why! The camper sundae had hand placed crackers, peanut butter and perfectly fired marshmallows. Such a great attention to detail! Inside is small with only a few seat tables (4-5) that seat 2-4 so large led groups would struggle to find seats. In warmer weather though there is plenty of seating outside to enjoy your treats. Although the ice cream itself isn't my favorite. The space, people and detail they put into what they do make it a fun spot to try out for a treat. read more

This cute shop is located on ice cream row in downtown Stillwater off the pedestrian plaza. This shop sells soft serve ice cream with loads of cone and toppings galore! On this particular day, our first time in - my son got the twist (chocolate and vanilla) soft serve in an XS cup with rainbow sprinkles. He engulfed it. Side note - there weren't many people working so it did take a while to get our cup of ice cream which was surprising given they knew the fall festival was this particular weekend. Also...I guess the edible glitter is free if you get that topping. Fall hours - they are only open 1-6 on Saturday and Sunday's. read more

The vibes, the staff and the ice cream for the lactose sensitive, were a hit when we visited MN Nice Cream. We ordered the Happy Camper Sundae and the Fancy Affogato. This soft serve is a tasty milk ice texture that brings you back to the old school soft serve days. I loved having a perfectly "burnt" marshmallow and the presentation was fun and light hearted. The affogato was to die for. I appreciated the strong pull of warm espresso with the creamy ice cream ( if it hadn't been 6p in the evening, I'd probably had 1 more). Great place for kiddos with good outdoor seating and space to play a little. Parking was a non issue. read more

I was drawn to this tasty establishment initially due to the aesthetics of the ice cream and sundaes and I can attest the flavor matched (and exceeded) the picturesque treats. We opted for the brownie sundae (I think that's what it was called); equipped with mouth watering brownie crumps, rich vanilla ice cream, and topped off with whipped cream and caramel drizzle. A perfect summer -Or any season- treat. read more

service was good, very nice people and accommodating that we did not like what we got but my friends and i came to this spot to get some ice cream on such a nice day and we got the mint chocolate shake and st paddys day shake, both tasted like straight toothpaste or mouthwash and even mixed were still to strong to even enjoy, then after paying $7 for that we went up to the counter and asked to get it replaced with chocolate and vanilla, meaning shakes, which im still very grateful they even replaced it but we paid $7 for a small vanilla cup that we could've paid $1 for that would've been better at mcdonald's read more

Lots of ice cream choices, including vegan! Quick and friendly service, they do have free samples, too!

MN Nice Cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

As a dairy free girlie, I've almost given up that I can get something at an ice cream shop. Mostly, because there's never anything on the menu other than sorbet or maybe there's one option for me. This place I was like a kid in a candy store, there were so many options. The place was packed, but the line moved fast. She's a little spendy, but I did get the camper cone and it was delicious so I can't complain too much. It's bright and light, very instagram worthy. read more

MN Nice Cream gives very ice cream shop vibes! I loved the decor and aesthetic, but the ice cream itself was more of a let down. Their space is super cute and color, all decked out with ice cream stuff but is very small. Luckily there is some great outdoor seating during the hotter months. For ice cream, they have a few speciality ice cream combos and regular ice cream with toppings you can choose if you would like. I decided to get the cookie monster ($8) with panna cotta ice cream (seasonal). The ice cream itself was just okay plus the toppings made it overwhelming sweet. I also think it is very pricey for what you get. It's a smaller portion size than some ice cream shops. And my friends that went with me completely agree. It is not worth the price, but it is worth the picture! If you are looking for a good Instagramable spot, this is it! But if you are looking for equally tasty ice cream, I would go somewhere else. read more

This is the cutest little ice cream shop in a perfect location. The staff were very friendly and explained the menu and offered samples of the soft serve. They had lots of options for vegan and special dietary restrictions. I had one of the rotating flavors, birthday cake, And it was Rich in flavor but not too sweet. I love the ability to customize with all of the toppings and I like that the toppings list any dietary restrictions. The shop inside is pretty small with just two tables, But outside there's plenty of seating and it borders a kombucha brewery that has outdoor seating. I would definitely recommend this place for a date night or to take your family out for a little treat. The pricing was very reasonable and I felt like the value was great for the product. read more

I went here super long ago, uploaded my picture, and totally forgot to review! So here is my very late review: MN Nice Cream is awesome! I ordered an Extra Small Twist in a Cone, but asked for it in a cup as I hate when it drips on my hands but love how cones taste. They gave me a huge portion considering I ordered the extra small, their prices were fair, and their ice cream was awesome as can be ascertained from the mile long line of people waiting to get outside and try. They offer a wide selection of some really awesome looking ice creams with decadent toppings that I will have to come back and get on a day where I am much much hungrier. Looking forward to coming back. So far, here and Sebastian Joes are my favorites in the cities. read more

Such a fun place! I loved the soft serve and the huge list of toppings. I've been there twice since my first time and I always love it.

This ice cream is delicious. It's so smooth and creamy. They don't have a ton of soft serve flavors but you can customize with the large variety of toppings. Otherwise, I personally like to order the specialties so I don't have to pick toppings. I just go too crazy if it's left up to me to pick. I thought about taking a picture but I just dove in instead. I stopped in during the middle of a week day so no issues with lines. read more

As a soft serve lover, I've been a fan of having MN Nice Cream around since it opened! The Twin Cities has a huge ice cream scene, but it was missing a delicious soft serve place that wasn't just Dairy Queen - and I think this fills that spot. Located in NE by Able Brewery, it's the perfect spot to stop by on a hot summer day or hop to after hitting all the breweries and restaurants in the area. The shop is small, but they keep it efficient since they often have a long line out the door. They keep the line moving with their cashless system, and had 3 people making ice cream on this busy Friday night. The ambiance here is very whimsical and childlike, while still being super trendy & instagrammable! The indoor seating is very limited and gets crowded on a busy night - but we were sitting on the Able patio so we didn't mind. One thing I love about this place is they have plenty of vegan options available. I have friends who are dairy-free/vegan, so it's an easy spot to grab a treat. It's even more fun that they consistently rotate their two vegan flavors! Today's were cake batter and key lime. When you order, you can choose from one of their pre-made sundaes - loaded with toppings, or make your own! Heads up that their pre-made sundaes are extremely loaded, so you have to get a medium or larger. I personally love their extra small size, since all the toppings are piled on and rich I always had trouble finishing anything bigger. This time around, I got the chocolate vanilla twist with vegan cookie dough, sprinkles & coconut whipped cream (note: they forgot my sprinkles, but quickly added them when I let them know!). The ice cream itself wasn't anything special, but I was just in the mood for some classic soft serve. Their cookie dough was the star of the show, with it being salty & sweet - and they really piled it on there! The coconut whipped cream was also a unique twist and added a nice flavor. My roommate got the key lime-cake batter twist, and it was amazing! I personally didn't love the cake batter twisted with the lime, but the key lime was so citrusy and tropical. Also, one thing that Nice Cream does best is getting toppings throughout your cone! My friends that had cones got halfway through and we're delightfully surprised at some more toppings inside. Even on a busy night, I'd recommend grabbing some soft-serve here! Also, just a general note: I wouldn't recommend getting the glitter. Most "edible" glitter is just non-toxic, not ~really~ edible. read more

Cute space! The line was very long when we arrived at 9:15ish, which was a clear sign it's popularity. Thankfully things moved at a good pace! That said, it did make maneuvering through the small space and entry tight. There's a variety of merchandise in the small retail section up front. They've got earrings, tees... all really cute. The star of the business is of course the ice cream. I always thought it was a pricey place, but turns out it doesn't have to be. You can chose from various types of ice cream sizes, cones and a la carte toppings. My XS vanilla/ chocolate, cake cone, with 2 toppings was just over $5 and more than filling. It's a nice place to bring someone when you're going for an out of the norm, novelty, cutesy ice cream experience. read more

The workers there seem just as excited as you to get you exactly what you want. There isn't much seating inside, but there is plenty outside.
