    Cotton candy single scoop ice cream
    Kheyla-Thiana J.

    I went here mid April when I was visiting back home after being living California since 2015. Not much has changed since my last visit here and I was 100% okay with that. The nostalgia from the smell of walking in brought me happiness. It was a very busy evening but the service was still great. Everyone working behind the counter was polite, greeted us when we walked in, and was ready to help. The ice cream was amazing as always, and even for being a busy night everything was clean.

    It's the cutest little small town ice cream shop. They have a piano that plays music. You can feel the history. They serve blue bunny and Tillamook ice cream. I love the salted caramel ice cream.

    Adorable local ice cream shop. Super cute, great customer service. Could maybe use a little spring cleaning but was fun to stop in.

    Ice cream during the alien festival

    I Love this place!! I come here every time we visit my friend's grandma in McMinnville, and usually for the alien festival (they have cute alien cookies then too) They also have this AWESOME player piano inside, it's super cool to look at

    Splendid!

    Must visit if you come to McMinnville! Ice cream is rich, creamy, with perfect sweetness, and they offer a variety of different flavors, options for sorbet, non-sugar added flavors, and vegan ones. Staff is always friendly and welcoming, everything is reasonably priced. Love love this place!

    player piano

    This cute little ice cream shop is located in a historic building in the "old downtown" area. A player piano is constantly playing tunes, both old time classics and more current songs. There are a limited number of tables but we found some counter seating at the front window to enjoy our treats while people watching. I ordered a 2 scoop sundae with espresso chip and moose track ice cream topped with both hot fudge and caramel sauce. YUM! Staff were exceptionally friendly and projected a positive vibe. Kudos to this place for employing those with special needs.

    a cup of ice cream with a spoon

    One of the greatest delights during Covid is walking thru the outdoor closed street area in McMinnville. We enjoy a nice dinner and also top it off after a nice walk thru town with a Serendipity Ice Cream! I endulged in Moose Tracks, which is as close to heaven as you can get! if you are rolling by coming back from the coast it is worth the stop!

    This spot doesn't look like much from the outside looking in but that quickly changes once you step inside. This spot is the definition of homey. It almost looks like an old cozy room full of ice cream. They have a self playing piano which will play festive music on the holidays. Ice cream is amazing and you can have a seat next to the window and people watch. We came in here on a whim in december which I know sounds weird to have ice cream in winter but is was so cozy and definently set the holiday vibe.

    Cascade Glacier ice cream sundae
    Jen K.

    An absolutely adorable old fashioned ice cream parlour that became a little less charming inside. I guess the vintage setting really had me hoping for homemade ice cream. Unfortunately they serve Cascade Glacier ice cream, which I put a tier below Tillamook and Umpqua. There is a lot about this business to love. The setting is vintage in the heart of downtown McMinneville and they even have a player piano in the main room. This business was also set up to support and employ those with disabilities. So great concept and atmosphere and pretty good ice cream.

    Just the name itself.

    This is by far the worst Dairy Queen. I have ever been to, in my entire life and I've been on this…read moreplanet for 43 years! The owner. I don't know who they are. But the manager is a total b****. She seems to be put out by doing any sort of work at all. And if you have any sort of problems or if they make your order wrong, oh my Lord, she acts like you are the worst piece of s*** in the whole wide world, not to mention they don't know how to make a blizzard to save their life. They give you this runny piece of s***. Who doesn't? It's not even green, it's a mint oreo blizzard with no mint in it. And it's not even green. How is that a mint oreo blizzard? Aren't they supposed to be served upside down? If I were you, I would avoid this restaurant at all. F****** costs and PS the bathrooms are freaking disgusting.

    its so sad, DQ used to be such a family favorite. I realize it's not real "ice cream" but their…read moresoft serve was so yummy. Now, I wonder how often things get cleaned "properly" (like the soft serve machine) as I just don't think any of the employees care or maybe not even trained properly. I worked at a DQ in AZ decades ago as a kid and wow, things are different these days! Employees would be fired for so many reasons decades ago but now, Employers just need bodies to help and not get sued by the employee for saying something inappropriate or not PC. sad times we live in. service sucks, food sucks, it's so hard to find somewhere clean, fairly priced and actually really delicious food anymore. I'll keep hope alive as I want DQ to survive nationwide as it can be a nice cool sweet treat on a hot day. I hope restaurants everywhere improve as I hate to waste money I've worked hard to earn. I wish we lived in the olden days where everyone actually gave a crap about the job they did and about each other. Best wishes everyone, stay safe out there and root for DQ to improve!
