Normally at food truck fairs I wouldn't try the ice cream. After sampling several trucks I just…read moredon't have room. But my brother wanted some ice cream so I brought him chocolate. It was excellent - he sent me back for another scoop. Then we all had to have our own dish and Rocky Road, Butter Pecan and Cookie Dough were just as good. It really is excellent ice cream that is loaded with all of the great ingredients you would expect in a premium ice cream.

Excellent premium ice cream & Italian Ice - highly recommended!…read more I caught up with the Minne-Scoop-Ta food trailer at the Fleet Farm in Brooklyn Park. My expectations were pretty low since it was being served up out of a small mobile unit. Wow - what a pleasant surprise! This isn't cheap grocery store ice cream from Blue Bunny, Cedar Crest, or Kemps (sorry, Kemps). They serve ultra-premium ice cream & Italian ice from the Chocolate Shoppe Ice Cream Company in Madison, WI. Great stuff! You can hop on the iternet and read all about their obsession with quality and flavor. Thumbs up! -Daddy Maxx Retro

Wonderful savory and sweet waffle creations - 5 stars!…read more Tonight I caught up with The Bougie Waffle at Alloy Brewing in Coon Rapids. Everything looked so good, I truly had a hard time picking what I wanted. So I ended up getting 4 different items. Okay...so I ordered 2 of the signature items. First, I tried "The Sweet Chick" with a sweet potato waffle, fried chicken, maple glaze, with spices, topped with a few sliced jalapenos. Wow - heavenly! I also ordered the signature "SMACKaroni" mac & cheese creation with several cheeses including Gouda. Again, a home run. Both of these dishes were a smaller size so they came together in one clamshell box. The mac & cheese functioned more as a yummy savory side. It was perfect. I was so delighted with the flavors, I went back and I ordered 2 more foods to take home. I got the savory "Chicken Dumplin" waffle, topped off with diced scallions. It came with a side of fried rice. And last but not least, I went with a super sweet selection, "Nana's Puddin" waffle with sliced bananas, nilla wafer cookies, caramel, and whipped cream - Ya' Man! Every bite was excellent. If you look closely at the waffles, they're more than just standard waffles. I noticed lots of detailed little ingredients and spices. They're definitely unique and the flavors are nice and balanced, not overpowering. I don't hand out many 5 star reviews but The Bougie Waffle definitely earns it! I love, love, love the food. And I really enjoyed chatting with the owner. She was very nice and cheery, despite the chilly temps and the windy fall night. Burrr!!! According to the owner, she recently moved up from a small vendor cart to a fully outfitted food trailer. I wish them many years of success. Thumbs up! -Maxx

Thanks for bringing your food truck to MN Pride!! We were trying to not splurge, but we couldn't…read moresay no to a huge donut!! It didn't let us down! We decided to all share a chocolate donut. It was only $9 and easily shareable with 2-4 people (if you all just want a piece) or scarf it down yourself! I don't judge... and I might be jealous. The whip cream was fresh and so was the donut. It was everything we wanted out of it!!! It felt quality with the good ingredients. One thing I would recommend is no styrofoam packaging... other than that... no complaints! Oh yeah... peanut butter chocolate would be great! Keep truckin on!

The interior is fairly basic, although it is clean and tidy. With plenty of natural light, wooden accents, and vaguely Scandanavian decor, it's a lovely spot to meet up with small groups. They also have a few patio tables. The staff were friendly and helpful during our visit. The offerings range from traditional swedish and Scandanavian desserts to more American donuts. If you're into something sweet, there's likely something for you here. I was missing a savory pastry option, which was what I was craving! I didn't indulge in any coffee during this visit! The Cinnamon Bun was delicious!

Well known as the town with the teapot water tower just north of Forest Lake. Along with a tasty lunch in Chisago. Places and things we checked out included lots of cute local shops and of course some sweet treats! @thelindstrombakery was worth the trip on its own We tried a variety of things and got some take home goodies. Swedish Almond Cookies (so. darn. good. Had to get some for later) ALL of their donuts were so fresh and light. Highly recommend getting yourself here for treats. Each item we tried was accompanied by slow chewing, serious glances and closed eyes of bliss. Uffdah what a fun day! Hoping everyone can find some Hygge in your days. Hygge (pronounced "hoo-gah") is a Danish cultural concept focusing on comfort, togetherness, and cozy contentment. Key principles include cultivating warmth, enjoying simple pleasures, equality, and mindfulness. It helps reduce stress, improves well-being, and fosters social connection by embracing a slower, more intentional, and cozy lifestyle.

The fries were hot and fresh and seasoned well. They tasted good. Quick service and was good to see that as an option at the orchard along with other offerings available for the MEA week. I will definitely eat here again if they are at other festivals or places that I visit.

Great gyros on wheels - thumbs up!…read more It was a nice sunny spring day, the perfect weather to hit-up a new food truck. I caught up with Kevin and his food trailer in the parking lot of the Coborn's grocery store, Elk River. I got the traditional lamb gyro with a side of fried jalapeno poppers for a little extra zip. And I washed it down with a can of Pepsi. The food was all great. And it was served up fast & hot with a smile. I wouldn't hesitate to go back again. Thanks, Kevin! -Daddy Maxx Retro
