Both ice cream and service are out of this world! Very unique hand made flavors And always seems to be something different. And did I mention the cones...5 star as well! read more

Pumphouse Creamery is a hidden gem and absolutely worth the trip. Tucked into a Minneapolis neighborhood, 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. read more

Ice cream is locally made by a lesbian couple. All flavors are delicious and queer friendly. Dont be discouraged by the long line, it goes by quick. Lots of tables available outside to enjoy the cool summer breeze. Highly recommend!! Haven't been here in years and it's still just as good as before. read more

Pumphouse Creamery - 5 scoops for $6, 1 kiddie & 1 small cup - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

See all

Pump House Creamery is such a cozy little ice cream shop. The inside seating is limited, but the service is quick and friendly. 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. read more

The place is cozy with not a ton of areas to sit inside, but outside they have tables. Unfortunately, it was raining. The staff was kind and let us try as many flavors as we wanted and was very quick about it! I got the Sea Salt Caramel Praline Pecan Kid Size, this was so good. I wish I'd gotten a larger size! read more

Pumphouse Creamery is great name with even greater ice cream. What fun and unique flavors they had to choose from and how delicious they all were. It's a very small place and the line was out the door when we went. Things moved quickly though and it was a nice day. Service was friendly and we all enjoyed our choices. I like to say, "if you like ice cream, you'll like this place" and this holds true here, while being a step above your average ice cream. Enjoy!! read more

Pumphouse Creamery - 2 scoops and a cone - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

My friend who is a local excitedly wanted to share this place with us, and after going, I get why! Their ice cream is super yummy and comes in a bunch of appealing flavors. I couldn't pick just one, so hubbie and I shared a double. Proprietors were friendly and efficient. Expect to pay around $4/scoop (cheaper than BR and Coldstone at this point!). It's a little hole in the wall, so not a lot of space to sit, but that's okay. No restroom I don't think... You can also get pints to-go. They had T-shirts and gift cards too. Not sure how often they change up their flavors, but I'll be back sometime to check, hehe. read more

So fantastic! The perfect treat on a hot summer day. I had the lemon infused olive oil & sea salt, it was absolutely magical. The waffle cone was fresh and delicious. Decadent and amazing. read more

I think pump house is a bit of a hidden gem as far as ice cream goes in the twin cities- because it very quickly takes the cake for me as my favorite ice cream place. The flavors are all so unique and interesting, but also still very delicate and simple. I also LOVE that you can get a flight of mini scoops, because I always want to try more flavors. We enjoyed all the flavors but our favorites were: Banana, Lavender, and malted vanilla. read more

The five scoops for 6 is such a good deal!!!!! The staff is really friendly and patient too.

This little shop makes some of the best ice creams in the cities. Don't skip the olive oil and sea salt, it's truly well balanced and delightful. The rotating selections are generally delightful, too. Most of the seating is outside, as it's a very small space. That said, don't be daunted if you see a line. They always move quickly.. read more

Best local creamery in the twin cities. Pump house has unreal flavors that are made the very best local soured ingredients and churned fresh. Typically there are 8-10 flavors at a time but I have never tried so many delicious flavors that are unique to many creameries. Reminds me of a gourmet brewer or barista but focused solely on unbelievable ice cream. I've been to 80 plus gourmet creameries and their min chip is the best I have ever had. It's a bit pricier and portions aren't huge but you get what you pay for! Nice job pumphouse team read more

This is a fantastic ice cream shop! I tried the strawberry ice cream, and the use fresh, locally grown strawberries! Farmer's Market strawberries are lightyears better than grocery store options... and it makes a difference in the ice cream. Also, I like the portions. It's not too much. The price point is good too. Family of 5 for under $20. read more

This. Is. The. Greatest. Ice. Cream. EVER!!!! I am shouting!!! Go here. Why? Because it is undeniably outstanding ice cream with the most quality ingredients. Because the kindest and most generous owner in the world works there. Because I am going to dream about this ice cream until I have it again. This is self care and kindness and joy. Bar none. read more

I've come here a few times and have left satisfied each visit! The flavors use many local ingredients and are fun/unique. They have a mix of flavors available for anyone's preference. They even have non-dairy ice creams (cashew based) and sorbets available. The store is super cute and has an almost retro feel. The staff has been exceptional each time - always attentive and helpful. The biggest plus is that the prices are so affordable! The only downside is that I wish the store were closer to me! read more

Such a cute little ice cream shop. I needed a sweet treat after voting and this was near my polling place. This small but mighty shop has some amazing and unique flavors. They allow you to sample. They site their sourcing on the menu which is nice. I had the mint chocolate chip and it was so good that I bought a pint to take home! Can't wait to go back and try other flavors. read more

Pump house creamy is so much fun. You can find a line waiting outside in the summer. The selection is unique and all very good. They have these ice cream flights with 5 small scoops of your choice. My favorite this rotation was the Burnt Butterscotch- this deliciousness reminds me of the sugar coating of crème brûlée. It might not be for everyone but it's definitely a must try. I think there's a flavor for everyone here. There are a couple of benches to sit outside otherwise the tables at the restaurant is free game after they close. read more

The quality of ingredients, friendly efficiency of service, and ultimately the flavor and creativity (without jumping the shark) makes this without a doubt, the best ice cream in the Twin Cities. Women-owned, local ingredients, great dog ice cream. Even the cones are handmade with excellent flour. This is on par or better than the best gelato shops in Italy. I recommend the five scoop sampler if you want a wide selection (or 10 scoops to sample with a friend). The dog ice creams are on sale for a six pack. I have had excellent homemade ice cream, have tried all the hyped places in town, across the country, in Mexico and Europe, go to the dairy/meat shop at UMN and other agricultural schools. This place is the very best. It is the ice cream version of Clancey's Meats or Coastal Seafoods. If you have a friend or dog or date you want to impress, take them here. read more

We've had this place on our to try list for what feels like forever and we finally were in the neighborhood and stopped on in, what a fun place! A cute little storefront on main street, it's exactly what I love about this part of town. Worker was friendly especially given we were being indecisive at the time and man - the flavor of this ice cream is impeccable! Next time I can't wait to try the ice cream flight as I love flights of literally any kind! As others have said, everything is locally sourced as much as possible and it shows in the quality of the ingredients. I cannot wait to get back here. We tried the mango with carolina reaper pepper (what a weird experience but my husband loved it!) and the salty peanut butter chocolate chip (to die for!) and both were excellent. read more

I tend to try ice creams in every city I visit. I can say this is some of the best ice cream I have ever had, particularly the mango red/pink peppercorn flavor. I also tried a few flavors that all tasted yummy and fresh. The person working behind the counter was also kind and patient. The vibes were also good and the materials are compostable which is important. 10/10 will be going next time I'm in the cities as my favorite ice cream shop. read more

Best ice cream I've ever had, amazing dairy free options, very well on the menu transparency (my partner has a nut allergy ) . Also amazing fast service the workers are so kind and friendly! My favorite flavors are : matcha, pumpkin, the lemon olive oil and the peanut butter chocolate!! read more

They have the most unique flavors, they are extremely affordable, and they are always packed but because the staff works so quickly you're never waiting in line too long. This is definitely a grab and go type of place with minimal outdoor seating. The parking situation is free street parking. A great area to walk around with friends. read more

Hands down the BEST ice cream shop I've ever had in Minnesota! The service was so friendly and kind. I love that you can sample as many flavors as you'd like. I tried 3 and landed on their popular flavor - lemon infused with olive oil and sea salt. I've never had ice cream that was so rich, thick and creamy as this. The homemade waffle cone was a delicious touch and had a great crunch to it. My new fav ice cream spot! read more

Cute neighborhood spot in south mpls! I can't do dairy so I always appreciate when an ice cream place has a few non dairy options that aren't just sorbet and pumphouse rose to the occasion. They had three non dairy options that looked great when I visited, but I went with the Muscovado which was REALLY good. Like better than milkjam or Sebastian Joe's. The flavor and texture were both spot on. They use local ingredients and have rotating flavors which is fun (more so for those that can have dairy!). And they also have little pup cups that are peanut butter flavored for Fido :) My only complaint is the lack of seating both inside and out. I can imagine on a really busy day people just end up standing around outside eating their ice cream. read more

From the second we read their website, we were hooked! They source all their ingredients either locally or from local farmers and their end product truly reflects that! The ice cream were delectable. We tried the "Fresh peach" and the "Askinosie Chocolate, Ruby Roasters decaf Coffee, Roasted Almonds, Cocoa Nibs" and LOVED them both! The chocolate was simply out of this world! We can't wait to go back to try the spiced ice cream which we tried a sample of and it was divine! read more

Excellent ice cream! Great variety of flavors. The two half scoop single scoop cone is the best idea ever. The vanilla malted milk ball and peanut butter chocolate chunk were really good. I also liked the huckleberry. Wish I had the chance to visit again so I could try different flavors. Service was friendly. It's a small store with a four seat table inside and a few tables outside. You can tell it is made in small batches- definitely high quality ice cream. read more

The place with the ice cream flights! I love this! We had been waiting to go and they weren't quite open until recently! We loved the amount of options, flavors and styles they had! They are local meaning all ingredients are locally sourced and locally made. Their ice cream was so good you can tell it's homemade. I love the flights as it lets you try all the yummy flavors without too much! And it's extremely affordable! Would definitely do this again. read more

This place is ahhh-mazing! We could not decide on 1 flavor so we opted for the $6 flight! Lucas was our server and he was awesome! Such a sweet, polite, patient, friendly young man!! ( he's a keeper for sure) Flavors such as lavender, honey berry and raspberry crisp, coconut almond chocolate chip, lemon infused olive oil and sea salt( fantastic) and Ruby roasters coffee. JUST when I thought it could not get any better, I discovered it is attached to a wonderful bakery!!! This will definitely be a stop for every trip to the area read more

When we were visiting the Twin Cities, we tried multiple ice cream shops, and I would say Pumphouse Creamery is the 2nd best behind Sebastian Joe's. The people were nice and the ice cream was good. I don't usually like strawberry ice cream, but I decided to try a sample of it. It was really good. But, I ended up getting a cookies and cream because I had gotten it at all the other ice cream places. That was good too. I would definitely recommend trying any of the flavors. read more

Amazing flavors, fresh taste, great spot, and excellent service! Go, you won't regret it.

pumphousecreamery has lots of unique flavors. Our favorite was Sea Salt, Caramel, Praline Pecans. They also have nondairy flavors which is always a win. If you do not know what you want you can sample a few flavors before making a decision. The flavors are rotated and I can't wait to go back and try something new. read more

You guys I have been here so much I'm frankly surprised I've never written a review for them! But yes it's fantastic locally made ice cream. My favorite thing to do here is get a "flight" of ice creams and try 5 flavors! They all seem to be locally sourced when possible and the flavors seem well thought out. I love it all. And the folks are friendly. The only real complaint is there's just one table so if it's taken, you gotta go outside to eat. Not a big deal honestly. read more
