The only reason that Two Scoops gets four stars instead of five is that they don't have cold water to drink. For some reason, I always like a glass of water after ice cream and they just have tap water. (Updated 8/24/2015 in case the owner is reading: I got a glass of water yesterday and it was at least 90 degrees F--I could almost have made tea in it!) A strange omission. However, the ice cream is very good (except for the black licorice flavor, which may be really good, but I am incapable of appreciating it). They have some kind of deal where for $38 you get to have a scoop of every flavor and some toppings, and if you finish it, it's free. They claim never to have had to refund anyone on it. This is good enough ice cream that my wife an I go occasionally even in the winter. In Minnesota. Also, their ice cream cakes? Amazing. And that's coming from someone that would rather skip dessert than have an ice cream cake from Dairy Queen. They'll make them to order from any of their flavors, with a variety of crust options (read: I forget what the crust options are). We had one once that was peanut butter cup with some kind of Oreo-like crust. Best I've ever had. read more

Go here... Often. The ice cream is LUDICROUSLY good, but it's the staff that makes the place. All are high school/college age kids who are in a perpetual good mood, and it just sets the atmosphere for a perfect neighborhood ice cream shop. Don't hesitate to talk with the other customers, as everyone in the place seems to be very friendly each time I'm there. Quick tip: they'll let you taste any flavor before buying it. TRY THE CARROT MANGO ITALIAN ICE. Sounded horrible to me until I tasted it. Sweet, tart, incredibly refreshing. Quick tip #2: they give you ALOT of ice cream. A single scoop is more like two and two scoops is more like three! read more

The ice cream is hard packed Chocolate Shoppe Ice Cream from Wisconsin (i.e., not made on site or locally) but don't let that deter you from having some tasty ice cream. It's really nice to see a small independent location in Anoka. read more

Love this place and everything they stand for. Quality tasty treats and all the kids behind the counter are very polite & helpful. We try to patron small businesses vs. chain stores. Two Scoops definitely beats all the chain stores (cough*Coldstone*cough) without trying. Get their ice cream cakes whenever you can. You won't regret it. read more

Always nice to see a new family owned/operated shop open. We've been served by the owner each time we go. He's friendly and appreciative that we came in. I think there are about 16 flavors to choose from and the flavors seem to change every couple of days. Some of our family favorites are Zanzibar (dark chocolate), Rocky Road (heavy on the marshmallow swirl just how I like it), and New York Cherry. The shop has a small seating area in the front with a couple of tables. They also have a freezer with ice cream in small containers if you'd rather pick some up to take home for later. Street parking is free. If you're in Anoka for a shopping day stop and check out Two Scoops! read more

Two Scoops - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Anoka, Minnesota

They used to be awesome. I went a while back and the employee didn't have gloves on and it seem a bit unsanitary. I also found a long hair in my ice cream and was really grossed out. The ice cream it's self is always good and I like the paintings. I would recommend going somewhere else though read more

After bbq at Q fanatics drive the short distance to this great ice cream shop. It is the same ice cream they served at U W Madison at the chocolate shoppe. The chocolate peanut butter was the best I have had in a long time. read more

The best ice cream in the area. The workers are kind and always willing to let me try a half dozen samples before I chose a flavor. The workers are quick and there is never a line. The ice cream is very rich and creamy. There are many choices of favors that can be chose from to make a shake or malt. I usually just opt for a scoop in a cone. They frequently change flavored which gets me to come back time and time again. I would suggest Two Scoops to everyone. read more

Such great ice cream, so many yummy different flavors and it's close to home. It is kinda expensive tho for ice cream:(

The ice cream they carry is found at many other places now, at half the price. I used to love this place till I found Amora in Elk River and found out how bad I was getting gouged on prices. Love the ice cream, hate the price. read more

Delightful little ice cream shop. Good ice cream. Nice staff. Really like going there and supporting local business

This is as good as it gets. The ice cream here is THE best ice cream I have ever had in my life. I started coming here last summer with my girlfriend after our dinners and have been a regular customer ever since. We just really love it. The owners (a husband & wife) make a great team. Every staff member is motivated to help you and the place is always clean and organized. I recommend the Chocolate Zanzibar on their homemade waffle cone. read more

after one failed attempt to visit this place we finally made it on our second try...they have a lot of fun flavors and i cant wait to try them all...i got the Green Tea Ice Cream...I've had a lot of green tea ice cream but havent been able to find one with the perfect creamy texture (they are usually a bit icy for some reason)...this place had the perfect texture...i think it could use a bit more of the green tea flavor because after a few spoons it almost tastes like a sweet cream ice cream...they can turn any ice cream they have into a malt or shake...we tried the cherry malt...if you're a fan of Maraschino cherries you'll love it because thats exactly what it tastes like...if you're expecting a more natural cherry flavor, this is not for you...the best flavor we tried was the salted caramel ice cream, with cashews...its either called This Just Got Serious or Things Just Got Serious...it was the perfect balance of sweet and salty with the faintest hint of bitter at the end (like from coffee/espresso) that was amazing...if i can remember the name i'll update the review...looking forward to trying other of their flavors read more

Two Scoops - Green Tea Ice Cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Anoka, Minnesota

See all

Two Scoops is definitely a favorite staple stop for anyone visiting the Downtown Anoka area! The ice cream is simply delicious, and the staff are so sweet... we stopped by there to get a treat for a toddler who was very excited to get to the bottom of her ice cream bowl. But about halfway through, she realized her ice cream didn't come in a cone. She LOVES the cone! And every 3-year old should have a cone, so I went back into the line. The sweetheart behind the counter brought a cone out, "on the house" and gave her the biggest smile ever! Sometimes it's the little things that are important and make a stop to an Ice Cream shop like this, not just delicious, but sweeter than ever! read more

I love that it's handmade ice cream! It's a super cute little shop. I got the green tea flavor with a small waffle cone. My friend got the coconut one, we were both happy with our choices. They let you sample the flavors if you are unsure which is really nice. The costumer service was on point, I would def go back and recommend them. read more

My husband and I tried two scoops today for the first time. Absolutely delicious ice cream!!!!! The best coconut ice cream and fresh made waffle cone I've ever had! Will definitely be returning! read more

Excellent ice cream....wonderful staff...friendly owners what could be better? We regularly make the trip into Anoka just to go to Two Scoops. read more

Two Scoops is a new Ice Cream shop in downtown Anoka and about as good as it gets. They specialize in quality hard ice cream and they know what they're doing. Owned by a husband and wife (and they have one of their kids working for them).... it's the best malt I've found close to home! Owners are super nice and friendly and go out of their way to make you feel welcomed and let you try each flavor of ice cream! Two Scoops is where it's at for ice cream in Anoka or within 30 minutes of Minneapolis! Unfortunately for my diet, it's within walking distance of my house... read more

Id say the ice cream was pretty good but the experience and place itself was a let down. The workers there had terrible customer service like when I came in with a friend they just stood there looking annoyed and stared till we had our ice cream picked out. When I payed for the cones, the worker throws the receipt at me and walks away... yea not cool. The place was nothing special. I think it's better to get the ice cream and walk around the block. read more

Yum! Any place with Madison Chocolate Shoppe ice cream earns high marks in my book. Two Scoops has an impressive selection of both traditional and inventive flavors. I chose the munchie madness and chocolate raspberry truffle. Munchie madness is one of the only ice creams I've eaten that effectively uses salted carmel. Delish! Portion size was ok for the price. The place itself was quaint but not particularly memorable and had no outdoor seating. But, the ice cream was great so I'll be back! read more

Absolutely the best ice cream I've had in the metro area.

Butter pecan is ridiculously good. Owner is very attentive and the high school kids that work there are great.

Wonderful ice cream place. Lots of original flavors and they rotate them. Nice selection of cones, sundaes and floats. Especially nice in the summer when you can get your ice cream and walk down by the river. read more

Delicious ice cream with some traditional as well as unique flavors! It's all made in the store and not mass produced. The waffle cones and bowls as well as the chocolate chip cookie dough bowls are awesome! To top it off they accept Apple Pay and android pay. read more

Their mint chocolate chip ice cream is perfection on a hot summer day!

This is a fabulous ice cream shop! It's tucked a little bit back off of Main St, so you have to look for it, but you'll be happy you did once you try the ice cream! The staff is so friendly and helpful.. We told them it was our first time and he kept handing us samples. Their flavors were outstanding and different. We liked them all, but picked Scotch Ale Caramel Crunch in a pretzel cone. Yes, it was slightly beer flavored and delicious! The man at the counter told us they have a 100+ flavor rotation of this delicious ice cream from Madison, WI. There are a few cute places to walk in Anoka and enjoy a cone on a hot summer night. Definitely try this place, it's delish! read more

Great ice cream but the service left a lot to be desired. I went there specifically to buy the "This Just Got Serious" flavor ice cream. We had tried it in a restaurant and it is fabulous and unique. They did not have it as they rotate their flavors. However when I asked when they would get it in they were very rude in their response. Acted like they were doing me a favor to wait on me and I was a bother by asking questions. The help looked like high school kids that would have rather been anywhere else but working. It is too bad as the product is great but the service experience took the fun out of a trip to the ice cream parlor. read more

This place really delivers (even if the product is made in Wisconsin). #skol

This is a great family business who truly cares about their customers. Bill is awesome! He has taken my requests and never complained. Always puts the customer first! You sell the BEST ice cream on this planet! It is by far the best there is hands down! Thanks for the great service! read more

The owners are amazing and everything is freshly made and I use to love going there for their ice cream. But sadly I moved and it's too far off a drive for me. read more

My family likes the ice cream. Mostly a lot of very sweet mixes which I am not a fan, but had the butter pecan and it was great.

I Love this place! It had the feeling of an "up north" ice cream shop! Homemade fudge, awesome taffy and other awesome goodies! My kids love this place and their Kids Scoop is perfect! Perfect size! Can't wait to sneak in there again on these hot days!! read more

After looking for a local ice cream parlor, 2 Scoops was prevalent in good reviews, so we decided to give it a go. When we arrived we were pleasantly surprised by the great selection, very generous portions (i.e. 1 scoop really equals 2), and friendly service. Additionally, as we were eating our ice cream outside, the presumed owner stopped by and mentioned how grateful he was for our patronage and would love to see us visit again. Overall great ice cream and experience...we will definitely be coming back! read more

The ice cream is so good. They have so many varieties you can't go wrong. And if there's room outside for seating, it's nice to sit outside too. Glad they stay open later so we can stop in after our busy evening events. read more

Admittedly, I was afraid to do so, but I went back here again as this is the closest place with real ice cream. I was pleased! The two employees there were very friendly and willing to assist, and ice cream tasted great. Waffle cone was not the best (didn't taste fresh so not sure if they make their own), but glad they have options. Maybe my previous review helped made their customer service better. Hope the good service continues. read more

The ice cream ranges from good to great. The service has always been phenomenal. The prices aren't bad. Some more seating would be nice but it is certainly worth the visit. read more

Best ice cream in town- they always seem to have new and different flavors. I've been here several times and I've always been impressed. Pretty sure the owners have helped me out several times, and they've always been so nice. They really do seem to care about their customers. and that's something that's a bit lacking in a lot of places these days. I'll keep going to Two Scoops as long as they have ice cream (especially the Zanzibar- never stop serving the Zanzibar!). :) read more

Nice little hideaway in Anoka to get some really good ice cream in a friendly atmosphere

Absolutely the best ice Cream in the entire world! Tons of choices, toppings and everything a family run business should be! The owners are friendly, the staff is great! When you and your family want a great fun treat this is the place to come! It's our new favorite of all time!!!! read more

Treat night for the family, and ice cream was awesome. Definitely the best in the North burbs. The Zanzibar chocolate is a must try. My dad will love this place. read more
