25 Best Ice Cream Shops near North Oaks

“I like this place but I wish ice cream parlors offered organic ice cream!I like that they have the cup sizes and the cones displayed so it's easier to make a decision.I like that they have little coin holders so you can pay without holding your ice cream.I wish they'd open earlier on these hot days!I wish they had a clear open sign light up so that you can tell from highway 96.“

“Always a wonderful experience! Genuinely friendly from the moment you walk in the door! The staff doesn't rush you to make decisions, and is always ready with a sample spoon. Keep going back for their pistachio gelato, but tried the salted caramel passion fruit today and it is a close second! Ordering some of their personalized s'mores kits, great for stocking stuffers!“

“While visiting the twin cities, we wanted to get something sweet for the afternoon. Upon looking at reviews, we decided to stop by Conny's. The variety of flavors they had for soft serve was surprising. We got the coffee and the vanilla cone with the coconut dip. I would recommend the flavored cones over the dip personally, but they are both very good. About average on price but this place had a steady flow of customers on one of the first nicer days of the year.“

“Locally owned and a townie "must-do", don't miss cup & cone on your next trip to the WBL. The unassuming building is known to have a line throughout the open season. The soft serve is, of course, my go-to, but my dad loves to indulge in one of their freshly made sub sandwiches. Have your order ready because the line moves quicker than you expect!“

“Their BLT is one of my faves! Gender neutral, accessible restrooms with a ramp on the side of the buildingDietary restrictions: Gluten free optionsParking: Small parking lot, free street parking available on side streetsWheelchair accessibility: Ramp on side of building, single stall accessible restrooms“

“Love that they have coconut smoothie. Bobas are slightly hard and chewier than I like. So I usually get it without it now. I like a softer tapioca boba. They did make my order wrong one time but they corrected it and had me keep the wrong order. Great employees!“

“My wife and I decided to try something new. To our surprise, it exceeded our expectations. We ordered the family meal for 2. Tried 3 different flavors of wings including Caribbean Jerk, Southern BBQ, and Parmesan Garlic. Amazing! Texas Toast, Yummy! And the fries, so good. He puts a BBQ rub on the fries too. Then we went back for a scoop of ice cream each. Butter Pecan and Birthday Cake.“

“Wow wow wow! The manager Ellery has setup 3 catering orders for me! Two for an NFL Alumni event and one for an office event, and she is so easy to work with, on top of things and wonderful! She makes the whole process easy and makes sure she understands your event and what type of order to place. Joe has been our delivery person for two of the orders and he is so professional, on time and great. Definitely ordering from Arden Hills moving forward. The cookies have been fresh and amazing every time!“

“We just moved to the area and this neighborhood coffee shop is easily preferred for me over others in the area. Crisp, trendy space inside and the coffee is some of the best I’ve ever had! Well done Bean and Co! Satisfied new customer “

“The last couple of months we had ordered 2 ice cream cakes and they did it last min for us, usually you have to give them a couple days in advance but they seem to never turn us down, the first time we went we were told nobody knew had to print the image and put it on the cake the only person that knew how to do it was the owner, but the lady said she would call the owner to see if she could come in on her day off to do it, and we went back the next day to pick up the cake and the image was on there!. We just want to say how much we really appreciate your guys service, you guys are absolutely amazing!.“

“Love our neighborhood walk up Dairy Queen! Great place to sit outside with the kids and have a treat.The owner is very friendly and remembers us. I have never had a bad experience here.Lots of construction on Lake Street this summer (2023), but it's open for business and always delicious.“

“Patti's Ice Cream & Sweet Shoppe was a popular spot for a sweet treat on a Sunday evening. The folks scooping the ice cream were helpful and prompt. We tried the walleye size cups which offered four flavors of ice cream. I tried the flavors of the month - Rum Cherry, Blueberry Cheesecake, as well as White Chocolate Raspberry, and the Caribou Java. We also tried the Chocolate PB Swirl, Mackinac Island Fudge, Caramel Collision, and Deluxe Vanilla. The ice cream was delicious and a great value. Loved the Swedish Fish on top of each.“

“The maracuja was perfectly balanced and has a lovely creamy texture. The guava was a bit too sweet for my taste from the syrup, but was still a lovely combo and well-made ice cream. Cheese curds are definitely not standard and had a lot of paprika (?) on “

“Loved the smoothies. Ordered online and picked it up. They put it in a refrigerator while awaiting my pickup. You won't find this place without knowing it's there because it is in a market, but find it if your are looking for something healthy and tasty“

“We used The Cherry on Top this last weekend for our wedding and we could not be happier! From the beginning Jessica was very kind and easy to work with. All of our guests were raving about their ice cream! Thank you so much for being part of our big day!“

“Best Dairy Queen in Saint Paul and surrounding cities. The banana splits are cheap and pretty big for what you pay. Workers are friendly, and this is owned by a nice couple. Only 4 stars because area is not great. They close early now at 8pm. Go when it's light out. Also, they accept tips. I tipped two bucks because these young workers deserve it. Grew up in the area and love that they're still open.“

“My wife is vegan and has a sugar intolerance and was certain she would not be able to enjoy ice cream again, until we found this spot! Stacked with delicious ice cream, chocolates, and even ice cream cakes!!! This place is AMAZING. Geniuses. Everything is made in shop and definitely made with love. We will be back time and time again. Also, SUPER friendly!!!“

“We love this Culver's! They always get the texture right so it is nice and creamy and not over churned. And the workers are always so friendly. The manager, Sage, helped me out today and she was awesome - super kind! Highly recommend this location!“

“Literally the best service I've had at any restaurant in a long time. The guy who helped us was so friendly, smile on his face the whole time, interacted with my kids. The food was fresh and ready quickly. All that was missing when our food came to the table was one shake and when we asked about it the employee added extra strawberries to make up for the wait. So nice. Thanks for a great lunch!“

“My kid she was really loving it the place it's so nice and clean and also the people who are serving the ice cream they are so kind ? ? No rush for us yummy ice cream for sure ever Lo the ice cream don't think it was a lot but until the end I was finally can able to finish it up. So there it maybe seems small amount for you but until the end it's was a lot of the ice cream“

“My loyalty to the Silver Lake location is apparent whenever I pass by any other store. I don’t go to any other one. While I know Culver’s is synonymous with consistency, after eight years of perfect service I just know that that I’m going to get that special care at Silver Lake.“

“Pretty good salads with good texture. Music was bumping. Not sure of the hype. Lines can get long quickly. I ordered the buffalo chicken ceaser salad. It was a bit tangy for my liking. The place is cashless btw.Vegetarian options: It's salad broKid-friendliness: I saw kidsWheelchair accessibility: No stairs“

“Great prices great flavors and clean. Not 5 starts because of the idiotic and baffling tip they ask for while using your card. I have no idea why a place like this asks for tips. The employee have a very straightforward job that does not rely on tips.“

“Cherry Berry is our Fav spot after football games ! Sad the Brooklyn Park one closed down so we now travel to Blaine ! Love the different flavors 63 cents a oz isnt that bad either . Flavor's for all ages & also milk free options!!“
