    2 scoops and a cone

    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!!

    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.

    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.

    A lovely ice cream shop that has fun small batch flavors. With pints that are only 8 bucks, it's a pretty great deal you can't pass up if you have a favorite flavor. Sea salt caramel praline pecan: Gettt A wonderfully balanced sea salt caramel, the cralines and pecans add the perfect amount of nuttiness, texture, and sweetness to the mix Food: 9/10 Service: 8/10 Atmosphere: 7/10 Value: 10/10

    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

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    The ice cream was made from local source. I can see the quality in this to be amazing. The service was quick. The space is somewhat small but there are benches outside.

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.

Street parking available on hip and trendy Washington Ave! They also have a decently priced valet for diners not looking to search nearby for parking! The interior is moody and hip with dim lighting, exposed brick, and a social energy. It's always busy without feeling stuffy or crowded. The service is top notch...fresh silverware and plates with every course, consistently filled water, servers that are around but not overbearing, and courses that come out with exquisite timing! We enjoyed an appetizer, a few bruschettas, and a few pastas on our most recent visit. Arancini were the perfect start: crispy, creamy, and a little spice from the sauce! Chicken Liver Mousse Bruschetta was the weak point in the meal as it just seemed to be lacking a component that balanced the richness of the mousse. The Crispy Pork Shoulder and Carrot Bruschetta was VERY salty, but I kinda enjoyed how it would make my mouth water, quenched by the creamy carrot puree. The Gnocchi are little pillows of heaven, and the orange sauce is such a pleasant surprise. The real star for me was the Mushroom Agnolotti: little pillows of creamy, mushroomy goodness topped with a plethora of additional mushrooms. Chef's kiss. Can't wait to come back again and again!
