All were great but my favorite one was coffee because it was so creamy, flavorful, and reminds me of how my favorite ice cream should taste! As a foodie from LA, I can certify that this local establishment in Rochester is still around for a very good reason. Give them a visit next time you're over there!

For the chocolate lovers this is a great place to check out. So many flavors of chocolate candy to…read morechoose from, it was like chocolate heaven. I tried the dark chocolate pecan bark which was amazing. They also have several flavors of gelato that you can sample. I sampled the Almond Joy, Fudgsicle, Apple Cider, Pecan, and Mango. I loved the Fudgesicle and shared a scoop with my sister. The service was excellent. One of the team members helped me make a decision for chocolate Bon Bon's to get. This is my list of places to visit whenever I return to Rochester.

Still great after all these years. Great place to pick up cute chocolate to bring home as giftsread more

I have been in Rochester for four days and I have had ice cream here three times. I would've been…read morehere four times except I only discovered it on my second day. Here are eight reasons you should visit Flapdoodles for ice cream: 1. Their prices are too low. (Please don't tell them.) 2. Best cookie dough ice cream I've ever had. 3. Super courteous and friendly staff who are happy to give you two samples. 4. Once you have eaten at Flapdoodles, you will have something to talk about with every Rochester local that you meet. Seriously, they've all been there and love talking about it. 5. You haven't really visited Rochester until you've eaten some ice cream at Flapdoodles. 6. Dozens of flavors to choose from. Something for everyone. 7. The perfect amount of waffle cone to accompany your ice cream. You'll see what I mean when you get there. No sense debating any longer, if you're looking for a dessert or just a fun experience with the family, I highly recommend Flapdoodles with five stars.

Prices here are a bit lower than some others in the area, plus they put a heaping scoop of topping on your blizzard. Stop by and check this gem out. It's a popular summer hang out spot, but it's totally worth the wait.

There are picnic tables and a grassy area where you and your friends can sit and enjoy a Blizzard or some other ice cream delight. It's also the first DQ in Minnesota??!! How cool that the same family still manages the place. Got a blizzard for my first time and loved it! The twix and butterfinger combination was really yummy. The butterfingers do get stuck to your teeth a bit since it's colder but that part of that option, right? The only aspect that I would change is to make it melt slower lol. I like to enjoy my desserts slowly but it melted so fast that I ended up putting it in the freezer when I got home so that it could harden up again. Note to self: Still really good post-freezer. Service is really friendly here even when you bring in the deals from the DQ application. Yesterday happened to be National Ice Cream Day and there were free small blizzard vouchers. Needless to say, I was there at DQ. The gentleman helping me kindly redeemed the coupon and pressed used after helping us pick some of the flavor/toppings. Will definitely be back.

At first I was confused because it seemed to be a plant store, but they are located inside the store to the far left when you walk in! The staff here was really wonderful! I had questions and they were happy to answer! I decided to try their spring fling latte which had rhubarb and a thyme cold foam. Yes you read that right. It was an almost savory cold foam. While I give them props for stepping out of the box with this coffee, this just wasn't my favorite. My friend got a chai drink and that was very tasty!! This place has SO many cute items inside and around as well! I would definitely come back and just try something different! The vibes here are bright and so cute! This is definitely worth a stop if you are in the area!
