"2 Scoops is a great spot for no-frills classics, like rich, delicately salty butter pecan or fudgy Zanzibar chocolate, or banana splits heaped with whipped cream and maraschino cherries. Pair a cone with homemade pizza, a chili dog, or a pulled pork sandwich. There’s a little patch of green space across from the shop for a sweet, impromptu picnic." - Eater Staff, Stacy Brooks

"This welcoming shop is new, but steeped in a welcome nostalgia. Banana splits are topped with swirls of whipped cream and a cherry. Flavors like salted caramel lure the adults, and a kids menu with Superman and Cotton Candy draw the kids who love a crazy color and sweet, cold treat." - Joy Summers

Hidden gem that is black and locally owned! Similar flavors to other ice shops but the service is top tier! They also have a food menu with options from pizza to chili dogs. Family friendly and huge supporters of the community!

The ice cream choices were awesome! The Smores ice cream was delicious. They had a few dairy free options. Which is appreciated. The owner was so nice and helpful. Can't wait to come back to try more flavors!

2 scoops has some of the kindest and most wonderful people! I wish I caught their names but the employees explained every single menu item to us and gave us the time to choose a flavor we wanted. They have so many food and ice cream options!! I wish we hadn't eaten before we came because they have plenty of savory items, too. The sundae was delicious, and I like the variety that 2 scoops carried. The place had a cute diner look and I'd definitely come back here again. We didn't eat in but will next time!

This place is great! I've only gone once but have only good things to say so far. When I walked in I was greeted and told to let them know when I was ready to order. The staff are kind, joking around and asking how my day was, not just doing the bare minimum. The ice cream is delicious and I am positive the rest of the food is too. Overall the place's feel is welcoming. Try it!

I wish I could give more! not only were the owners extremely welcoming and nice, but these ice cream flavors are so so good. Best ice cream i have ever had, will definitely be coming back!

These brave owners opened as others were closing for the pandemic. They hung in and it's a great neighborhood asset. I'm off the sugar so went in for a sandwich. I am always ready to try some brisket so that's what I chose. It came warm and in a generous serving. The sauce was flavorful too. I was grateful for the excellent and friendly service. I'll definitely be back.

Black owned business...just think time to provide equality for all; the true meaning of United States. Systemic racism is real and time we embrace equality for all, especially in a superior business that epitomizes intimacy with customer treatment and high quality service and food. What an amazing opportunity for all to welcome with one hand on an ice cream cone and another on a friend in the restaurant.

Great ice cream at a great price. Caramel chaos and heaps of love were tasty. Owner's are very welcoming. What's not to love.

I heard about this awesome spot on a neighborhood Facebook page. It came highly recommended so we wanted to check it out. We were not disappointed. They had very creative flavors and let us have ample samples as we narrowed down the difficult decision of what to get. Their banana cream pie ice cream was amazing! Prices were as expected from a quality ice cream shop. They had an awesome family feel and their staff was SO warm and friendly! Seriously would go here for the service and environment alone. Felt like we were old friends returning home kind of energy :) I also loved that they had a pay it forward program for neighborhood kids to get free ice cream. AND it's another awesome black owned business to support. Will definitely be back! Gotta try more flavors!

This is a new establishment that just celebrated it's first anniversary of opening in May. Congratulations on your first anniversary! The set up of the place is pretty cool. They offer food, drinks, desserts and ice cream. They have an #onlyinmn ice cream flavor of blue moon. This place was listed as participating in the MN Scoop summer treats. When we got there during dinner time, it was quite busy. They had about 4-5 staff working. It was our first time and we weren't sure on protocol of one staff member help a family or just any guest not being waited on at the time. It was chaotic at times. They had a little library section to the right of the entrance as you walk in for kids to have a free book and there were drawstring bags available for free I believe for the kids to carry their books. They have about 4-5 tables inside for dining. Otherwise, there's a four-person seating set up outside their shop with a little garden. Overall, ice cream was good, good portion and comparable pricing. Their homemade waffle cones and bowls are delectables! Crunchy, sweet and doesn't have any of the healthy texture when it's homemade.

This was my first visit to 2 Scoops but definitely not my last! I Googled ice cream shops and several came up, but most all were closed for the winter season. Not 2 Scoops! They're also way more than just an ice cream shop. Although their 18 ice cream options are prolific, don't get me started on the pies I saw in their display case (next trip will include pies!). Upon arrival. The shop was bright, clean and well organized. So many shops get a little messy behind the counter. Not 2 Scoops! This meshed well with my OCD and I didn't have to second guess the quality, since everything was on display and clean and organized. We were warmly greeted by the owner and her husband immediately upon walking through the door. She asked my friend and me if it was our first visit, to which we replied yes. She began to explain the 18 ice cream options and flavors, letting us know which ones were most popular and her personal favorites. She was rattling them all off in her best and most knowledgeable saleswoman speech, which is far more than most every other ice cream seller I've visited. She also explained their food options, which were plenty. Chili dogs, pizza and brisket, just to name a few. They also have non dairy ice cream options for those who don't want or can't have dairy. My friend and I settled on 2 scoops each. They have home made and on site waffle cones, but having just had dinner. There wasn't room for too many carbs on this visit. I opted for a 2 scoop in a sugar cone and my friend got a 2 scoop in a cup and another cup to go for our other friend we were meeting up with. We pulled up some stools and sat by the window enjoying our delicious ice creams and taking in the sights. After finishing our ice cream, we walked out and thanked the owners and they did the same in return, all while serving a new group of customers waiting in line. We'll definitely be back. Can't wait to try their pies and ice cream again! Oh, and... they support local atheletes and children in the community. They have a wall with pictures of the "cream of the crop". A nice gesture that most businesses wouldn't even consider.

Here's the deal. The ice cream is very similar to other ice cream shops. Classic flavors, classic cones, similar pricing. The staff is incredible. They were EXTREMELY friendly and helpful. It had a very family-oriented atmosphere, and they were engaging while I waited for my ice cream to be prepared. I'm also a fan of the displayed ice cream dishes (fake) that are on the perimeter windows as you walk by!

First stop at 2 Scoops Ice Cream Eatery. Well worth the visit!! Extremely welcoming staff and owner. The decor is wonderful and comfortable, if you'd like to sit in and social distance or there are benches outside. We took ours home to enjoy. I was in the mood for something fresh and tasty. The lemon raspberry sorbet hit the spot. My husband said vanilla is a good gauge of ice cream shop quality. He loved their vanilla! 2 Scoops is a Yummy addition to the St. Paul Food Scene. Don't miss this gem.

We absolutely love this place. The Ice Cream is fabulous and the family who owns it are just the kindest people. It's such a wonderful spot in our neighborhood! We're so glad to have such a great Ice Cream spot in our neighborhood! -Mandy

OVERALL: cute & classic ice cream shop that also offers hot food items as well! Also, a black-owned business that I'm happy to support. PRICE: average pricing for the high quality ice cream they have. Portion sizes are decent. One scoop in a cup is $4. The prices increase from there based on size and cone. FOOD: I got the espresso Oreo and salted caramel on a waffle cone, super sweet and tasty and they make their waffle cones fresh in the store! ATMOSPHERE: reminds me of a throwback diner- very cute! Outdoor area has very limited seating. SERVICE: everyone is very kind and helpful, also super speedy to get our orders. SAFETY: All employees are wearing masks, social distancing is required, everything is super clean. Felt very safe and they are abiding by every COVID-19 requirement. Had hand sanitizer out for guests as well. TIP: if you're a slow/messy eater like me, order a cup and then ask for the cone on top- they will not give you a cup after you order it in a cone which calls for a very sticky situation.

Delicious ice cream - so many options to consider. Also, you can order food for before or after your ice cream and make a meal of your visit. Cute shop, great service, super clean and inviting. Definitely check it out.

This is the best most welcoming place in Saint Paul if you haven't tried their ice cream it is a MUST HAVE!!! I've had a phenomenal experience Every time I've gone. Has such a cute and homey feel with an amazing staff, the ice cream is super tasty with lots of unique flavors to try! As well as various other food options. They have a great program to give back to the local kids and ensure that all the kids that come by there store receive an ice cream. Cant say enough good things about this place give them all your money because they deserve it.

After a long flight from Utah I had a hankering for ice cream. We stopped at 2 Scoops Ice Cream Eatery 15 minutes before closing. The ice cream is delicious! I got the banana cream pie, the husband got sticks and stones. Delicious, creamy, excellent flavors. The banana was amazing and not artificial. Excellent friendly service, excellent product, and great price and portions! Give 2 Scoops Ice Cream Eatery a stop!!!! So yummy.

Random pass by of this place and we were delighted. My Fat Elvis waffle cone was exactly what I wanted. Super friendly folks. My kiddo has a chocolate tooth and his pick had pretzels and cookie dough chunks in it. Two thumbs up! Love supporting neighborhood establishments like this!

Yelp
What a great little place! We stopped in on our way through town and had such a great experience. There were so many unique flavors and the waffle cones were delicious! We tried the rhubarb crumble and exhausted parent (espresso chocolate chunk) and both were superb. We also got BBQ brisket sandwiches and the flavor was great! The owners were so nice and the shop overall had a down to earth family friendly vibe. We'll be back!

We were just plain lucky to book an airbnb near this place. We were hoping to eat lunch there, but got there before they opened and were just looking in the window when the owner unlocked the door and invited us in. On a cold day we weren't even sure we wanted ice cream, but after we ate a wonderful bowl of hot chili we definitely did! Altogether a delicious experience. Don't hesitate to stop in sometime!!!

Kathy Z.

Yelp
Super cute ice cream shoppe! They were very respectful of COVID guidelines while providing very yummy ice cream. We got the cookies and cream as well as a pulled pork sandwich. The ice cream was very creamy & rich and definitely tasted as homemade ice cream from a local shoppe should be. It's tucked away on a cute street in St Paul too and they also have benches right outside where you can sit, enjoy your ice cream, and people watch. We will be back soon!

I'm a little biased as I live down the street from 2 Scoops. We've always had friendly service and great ice cream. We've also stopped in for dinner having hot dogs and pizza. The best surprise was getting a free scoop yesterday when I stoped in with he kids for Father's Day!

I was shocked to see this hidden gem opening its doors close to where I live. When you go inside because of covid there are plastic plates hanging from the ceiling keeping customers at a safe distance which I thought was pretty creative. We came when they were closing so we didn't get to try the pizza but I heard it's delicious. I had two scoops of rainbow sherbet, and my girlfriend had had chocolate ice cream on a waffle cone and they were both great. They make their own waffle cones and they are delicious. They also have the regular cake cones for those that don't like waffle cones. The line was long, but the staff were very efficient so we got out in a timely manner. The location is great especially since Dairy Queen closed a few miles down the road. Great pizza, great ice cream great service, a winning combination, thanks 2 Scoops ice cream eatery!

I become so enlightened every time I visit this place. They always got the best vibe going, and their ice cream is phenomenal Great business run by great people. This place a rarity!

The ice cream is very creamy with excellent flavor. Our oldest granddaughter had raspberry lemon Italian ice and the younger one had a Stix and stones milk shake. Nice and thick and cold. Hubby had hot dog and maple nut ice cream. Smooth and nutty. I had, once again, the burnt butterscotch. And as usual, outstanding. Best ice cream we've ever had. The owners are very nice and helpful. Oh, the scoops are very generous too. Don't drive by even if you're close...you MUST stop say hey and have some frozen deliciousness.

Yelp
We love this place. Found it over the summer while I was pregnant and it has been a must have place for ice cream ever since. The ice cream is so so good. We have gone back just for their raspberry lemon Italian ice, it is seriously the best. We stopped in on Valentine's Day and got to chat with Mr Brian (B) who happened to be the owner! Such a nice warm welcoming going in there like it's the neighborhood spot. We ended up having dinner there, the brisket Sandwich is yum, and brought some ice cream home with us. Banana cream pie flavor is mouth watering. Can't wait to come back and try more flavors. Thank you! Leo and B

Hands down one of my favorite ice cream shops in St. Paul. They have really good ice cream flavors and I always opt for getting a shake since you can make any of the ice creams a shake. All the staff are SOOOOO friendly and make you feel welcomed every time. Definitely recommend!!

My family LOVES this place. We took my mom from the East Coast when she was in town for Thanksgiving. 8 scoops of delicious ice cream later, and my 6- and 2-year olds, their grandma, my husband and me were happy campers. The ambiance is warm with red vintage diner-esque accents. The menu is incredible. Fresh pies and American fare. Fast, friendly service. To boot, we met the owners and they're gems. We learned a lot about the neighborhood. Can't wait to make this shop a regular stop.

My whole team came here after a lacrosse game. There were 20 of us and Brian and Coco were the best. They scooped super fast and we're so friendly. I 10/10 would recommend this place!!

Love this place! Brought my two year old for ice cream , we shared a banana split. The employees ( I think owners) were so friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be back!

Wow wow wow! This place is AMAZING! I LOVE ice cream, and this is my favorite shop! They have amazing ice cream, the waffle cones and bowls are freshly made and delicious, and there are countless add-on options! But here's what really sold me: I have a severe nut allergy, so I am always a bit scared to get ice cream from shops, but let me tell you that NEVER in my 37 years on this earth has an ice cream shop (or honestly, any restaurant) taken my allergy so seriously or had such good allergy protocols, and they didn't make me feel like I was a burden (which is incredibly rare) while they were making sure I didn't die. I honestly didn't even want to go because I hate that feeling, but my friend insisted, and boy am I glad! Thank you Two Scoops! I am a forever fan now!

Dawson S.

Yelp
This is my favorite ice cream shop possibly ever. The only thing better than the taste of the food is the friendly faces that greet you. Any time I come to St Paul this is the first place that comes to mind for any meal. Wonderful atmosphere with the music and decor. They remember the regulars too!

I didn't know "blue moon" flavored ice cream was a regional thing until I moved to Minnesota and found none of my friends knew of what I considered to be a quintessential childhood flavor. For the longest time, I joked about ordering blue moon ice cream online and paying $40 to ship it to MN so all my friends could try it. It turns out I don't need to do this because 2 SCOOPS HAS BLUE MOON ICE CREAM. This is a life-changing discovery and has automatically cemented 2 Scoops in my heart as the best ice cream in Minnesota.

Wonderful place! We tried the espresso Oreo, county cherry and cake batter ice cream. All were excellent and high quality. Also, the women who were working, were so lovely and welcoming and really made it a memorable experience!

This was my first time at 2 Scoops and I was very pleased with the cleanliness of the restaurant and the ice cream was really good! I got a double cup which is six small scoops and you have a choice of two flavors. I also got a chili dog meal and that was delicious as well! The staff is very pleasant and I will definitely be back again!

This was the best stop! Great ice cream and the entire place smells like homemade waffle cones. The single is a large and delicious serving. Plus they have a "pay it forward" for neighborhood kids to get free ice cream!
