    Ok WOW! I've had good ice cream before, but never this delicious!!! We stopped on a rainy day after dinner. We've noticed the high rating and wanted to check it out ourselves. We did not get a picture of the ice cream because we were so excited to try and it did not disappoint! Absolutely delicious We ordered a scoop of the Ultimate Oreo, Heaps Of Love, This $&@! Just Got Serious and Mucnhie Madness. All four were incredibly delicious and flavorful. The inside is nice, not too much seating but it's a perfect little hang out spot. They sell candy, shirts as well as pints to go. As for the service, the gentleman who helped us was so, so nice! He gave us time to look at the different options and made some recommendations. We will definitely be back for more! Highly recommend.

    We love Selma's! From the variety of ice cream flavors, to the old fashioned candy, to the fresh baked cookies, everything is delicious! A must stop when you're in the area!

    One of the iconic ice cream shops on the St. Croix. It's changed a little from years past, they don't really have any indoor seating, only serve ice cream, but there is also a walk-up window now and LOTS of flavors. It was a nice day out the last time we drove by, so enjoyed a spot under a tree and a couple dishes of ice cream. I tried the black licorice, and thought it was fantastic. There were so many flavors to choose from though, you couldn't possibly go wrong. Enjoy a nice drive down to the river and a dish of something sweet!

    Very nice ice cream spot in downtown Afton. They have a variety of ice creams including some vegan options. It is reasonably priced and the portions are generous. I had a scoop of the cookie dough and birthday cake ice cream and would recommend both. There is plenty of parking available on the street.

    Lovely little place. Nice outside area with a little landscaped pond and big rocks to sit on, which the kids enjoy. Large selection of ice cream, not made in house, but that is ok, it is high quality stuff made in Wisconsin from The Chocolate Shoppe. Also have a nice selection of candy for purchase. Good prices and super friendly people. My kids absolutely love This place after swimming at Lake St Croix Beach. A true gem

    Haven't seen these in years

    Once again I was convinced to try a place based off of WCCO reporting that Selma's was their viewers choice for best ice cream in Minnesota. I have to admit that I am usually a traditionalist or old fashioned when it comes to a lot of aspects. What I mean by that is places that cook from scratch or make their own product. Selma's services ice cream from the Chocolate Shoppe in Madison which if you have even been there or had their ice cream, you know it is pretty darn good! We stopped at Selma's on a Saturday evening for dessert after enjoying a nice dinner out in Bayport. Selma's is easy to find in Afton. Just look for all the happy people with ice cream. When we arrived there was already a little line out the door and it was packed on the inside. Almost always a good sign. We didn't mind a little wait that actually moved pretty quickly as it allowed us to look at their current flavors as well as to see what others were ordering. We decided on a 3 scoop bowl as it was actually a better deal than getting 2 single scoops. I mean c'mon, more ice cream and less money. Sold! We ordered the Zanzibar which is one of the best chocolate ice creams I have ever had. The Yippee Skippee which had brownies, pretzels and salted caramel. Yes my mouth is watering thinking about these ice creams again. The 3rd flavor was your standard vanilla. Again sometimes I like the natural flavor of good ice cream but sometimes I like all the goodies in ice cream. "Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't". After we each had our first bite, the games were on. Who could finish their bite and go back for another scoop. For the record my wife cheats as she would take a bite (she was holding our cup of ice cream) and then she would turn her back to "shield" the ice cream. That stopped after my spoon "accidently" brushed her cheek while I was attempting to get myself another scoop. :) Needless to say we certainly enjoyed the ice cream. Afton is a small town, head south just a few minutes and you will probably see deer and other animals. Since Afton is close to us, we certainly will be returning soon to have more ice cream from Selma's.

It did not disappoint! You can either go inside the house or order from the outside window, we stayed outside and loved it. There are plenty of places to sit and relax, and the whole setup feels like you're hanging out in someone's backyard. Super cute and laid-back, with extras like cornhole and photo areas that make it even more fun. There were so many options to choose from, but we landed on: 2 root beer floats, Ice cream nachos with cookie dough and caramel collision (so good!), 1 scoop of playdough ice cream. Everything was tasty, and the staff was friendly and patient while we made our picks. It was the perfect treat after a sunny day. The only downside and the reason for 4 stars instead of 5 was that we had a coupon but weren't allowed to use it or even apply the value toward our purchase. A little disappointing, especially since it was our first visit. That said, Mabel's has so much charm, and I'd love to come back to try the coffee next time. Definitely a spot worth visiting!

The ice cream is Bridgemans which we love and ironically we were at their shop in Woodbury yesterday. Great quality ice cream. They have a huge patio area to enjoy your cool treats. They are also super close to the waterfront. One of the cool features is their color changing spoons they provide with their ice cream. The prices are very good compared to other ice cream shops! Welcome to the neighborhood!

    I like Dipsy Ice Cream Shoppe - 4 stars!…read more Two of us checked out the new Dipsy after grabbing some food at San Pedro. It was the perfect way to top off a spicy meal on a hot summer day. Dipsy has multiple ice cream flavors and a plethora of shaved ice flavors. We ordered ice cream and it was great. It was nice to enjoy the flavors in the outdoor seating area, multiple picnic style tables in between Dipsy and the coffee shop. The two young women running the show were awesome! They were very friendly, funny, personable, and bubbling over with energy. This is a nice change. I've had many sketchy experiences at ice cream shops that were manned by grumpy, sour faced kids that want to be somewhere else. NOT at Dipsy though. The women were great representatives of the brand. I really like the design of the shop too. The bright color schemes are very cheery and they work great for this type of venue. I gave them 4 stars because I'm kinda skimpy with the places that I rate a top tier 5. For ice cream shops, I usually reserve the highest rating for the places that take it to another level and operate their own creamery in-house, making their own ice cream on-site. No disrespect to Dipsy though. They do a great job. Dipsy is a wonderful addition to the Hudson food scene. I wish them many years of success. Thumbs up! -Maxx
