MN Nice Cream

Vegan French Silk and Banana ice cream, this place has fabulous luxury ice cream and lots of vegan toppings- the pb cookie dough was the best between the two cookie doughs in my opinion. The sprinkles and chocolate sauce do get messy but it is part of the fun, one of the few places for vegan soft serve!

Haven’t been to this place in years and it’s just the same as it was the first time I tried it! Ice cream is always flavorful and delicious. Variety of menu selection items could be better, still a bit of a small menu. Overall presentation of the items was very beautiful.

Fantastic addition to our celebration. Pleasant, clean and stress free. Great topping choices. There were many happy ice cream smudged smiles.

Good ice cream place for those looking for vegan or dairy-free options. The ice cream is soft-serve, more on the icy side rather than creamy. They've partnered with memorial blood donation centers.

I hired MN Nice Cream for a corporate work event, and they were so fabulous! Brett was responsive and professional in his communication providing all the details needed. His team day of was so kind and made our event really fun! Plus, lactose-free soft serve, can it get any better? Thank you!

I got a pint of ice cream. I was a bit disappointed that it tasted and had the consistency of the froyo machine in the college campus dining hall. It wasn't creamy and thick. It didn't have much flavor with the toppings right away. Once you mix in the toppings and let it sit overnight, the flavor of the toppings soaked I to the ice cream which made for an enjoyable pint. I really liked the PB monster dough topping and bourbon caramel. Also, the staff were very friendly, patient, and nice to talk to.

Glencoe Regional Health recently partnered with MN Nice Cream for our community's Dairy Day event. As a healthcare campus, we needed a large quantity of treats and a separate freezer for the event. They worked with us on a variety of fun treats within our budget, and their customer service that day was 10/10. We had a couple of pivots, and their team went along with a smile. They were kind and fun with our clientele. The treats themselves were excellent and made with love. We served over 600 people, and we'd definitely consider working with them again next year.

Great ice cream shop. The staff was very helpful and patient and quick making the ice cream options. Soft serve shop that makes them into creative sundaes or plain in cones or cups. Had the smores Sundae that had all kinds of treats including the biggest marshmallow I've ever tried to eat. Limited seating inside with more outside.

Caught the food truck this particular outing and kept it straightforward. Vanilla soft serve in a waffle cone. If you've never been they offer a ton of different toppings you can get and usually have featured flavors. I'm basic so the classic vanilla is always my go to. They also don't do milk based ice cream which is unique and honestly, you really don't notice other than it will melt quicker. If you like soft serve and have never checked them out, hard to pass up. Oh btw my attached picture - $5.50. You can't beat that.

Important note: this is a soft serve + fun toppings ice cream shop. It's not traditional ice cream. $: it's expensive. My husband and I paid $15-16 for 2. Could we have shared 1? Yes. Did we? No. Parking: a pain. It's near breweries and other businesses and there's no lot. So you'll likely drive around for a few minutes to street park if it's a busy summer night. Set up: Once you get into the building, you need to wait in line that wraps into the hallway of the building itself because the ice cream shop it's self is narrow. So after you wait to park you wait to get in, haha. Staff was nice! Shop was fun and colorful! If you don't prefer soft serve through, it's not worth the money. I've never hated it, just never loved it and don't feel the need to come back!

Tasted this nice treat while attending Jeremiah Program community event in the city. It was a refreshing treat and different. Ambiance 4/5 Food truck with great décor, colors, and chalked signage. Service 5/5 fun, personable servers who had good recommendations. Price Free.99 - you can't beat that. Ice Cream 5/5 Vanilla ice cream with coconut chips and gummy bears. Overall 4/5 Great treat on a nice summer's day and great service. I'm, not sure where their located however I enjoyed my waffle cone. Thanks MN Nice Cream- great play on words as well!

As someone who is lactose intolerant, it is so nice to have an ice cream shop that is lactose free!!! I got a waffle cone with "Gone Bananas." It was AMAZING! The workers there seem just as excited as you to get you exactly what you want. There isn't much seating inside, but there is plenty outside. That way you can enjoy the weather and some great ice cream! There is minimal street parking in the area, however, there are pay lots right across the street!

My family got ice cream from the MN Nice Cream food truck at Train Days today, and everyone was so jazzed by the experience. It was *huge* for this lactose intolerant family that the default option was lactose free, and it wasn't crummy lactose free ice cream -- it was very, very good. My mother was jazzed at the option to top with coffee, and my 3 year old was jazzed at the option to top with edible glitter. We're big fans!

Stopped in on a Friday night about 30 min before they closed. We quickly selected our choices from the specialty sundaes, waffle cones and soft serve ice cream flavors. A medium specialty Sunday's is about $7 + tax/tip. The ice cream only took a few minutes and when you see the specialty you know why! The camper sundae had hand placed crackers, peanut butter and perfectly fired marshmallows. Such a great attention to detail! Inside is small with only a few seat tables (4-5) that seat 2-4 so large led groups would struggle to find seats. In warmer weather though there is plenty of seating outside to enjoy your treats. Although the ice cream itself isn't my favorite. The space, people and detail they put into what they do make it a fun spot to try out for a treat.

I visited Mn ice cream during the summer and it hit the spot! They had plenty of flavors to select from, portions were huge, and they made your order on the spot. Service was pleasant and rapid. They had tons of outdoor seating with and without shade and the whole environment was lively and fun with tons of people around and even some lawn games to play.

This cute shop is located on ice cream row in downtown Stillwater off the pedestrian plaza. This shop sells soft serve ice cream with loads of cone and toppings galore! On this particular day, our first time in - my son got the twist (chocolate and vanilla) soft serve in an XS cup with rainbow sprinkles. He engulfed it. Side note - there weren't many people working so it did take a while to get our cup of ice cream which was surprising given they knew the fall festival was this particular weekend. Also...I guess the edible glitter is free if you get that topping. Fall hours - they are only open 1-6 on Saturday and Sunday's.

Ice cream was very yummy! Service was great, pricing was comparable to other local places and fair for what you get. There is very limited indoor seating, but plenty of outdoor seating. Parking was free street parking. Bathrooms are located down the hall

Lots of ice cream choices, including vegan! Quick and friendly service, they do have free samples, too! It's a friendly atmosphere, not a lot of indoor seating - there is much more seating outside for warmer months. Really enjoyed my chocolate soft serve - the cookie dough topping is super tasty!

What a fun little spot! The aesthetics of this ice cream shop are amazing! Very photo worthy to get your pictures taken by the "ice cream is everything" wall. I appreciated that they had dairy free and vegan options. I also love that they offer various specialty cones that come with a variety of toppings. This was pretty easy to get to and parking wasn't too bad. The service was good!

In 2017 you were my neighbor across the alley. What you didn't know was that we had brought my mother into hospice. My dad approached you at the end of your day as you were parking your truck to ask if had any soft serve left as that was my mom's favorite. You didn't but promised you would save a portion for him the next day. You did! You gave my mom something she loved and a happy memory , but you also gave my dad the ability to gift my mother a memory from her past. Even though we've all moved on we remember this moment fondly with gratitude. This is Mn Nice at its very best. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making a very hard time less difficult!

heyy... yeah....cool oohh yeahsoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo gooooooooooooooooddddd

This is the cutest little ice cream shop in a perfect location. The staff were very friendly and explained the menu and offered samples of the soft serve. They had lots of options for vegan and special dietary restrictions. I had one of the rotating flavors, birthday cake, And it was Rich in flavor but not too sweet. I love the ability to customize with all of the toppings and I like that the toppings list any dietary restrictions. The shop inside is pretty small with just two tables, But outside there's plenty of seating and it borders a kombucha brewery that has outdoor seating. I would definitely recommend this place for a date night or to take your family out for a little treat. The pricing was very reasonable and I felt like the value was great for the product.

No matter whether it's cold or hot outside, I felt like I could always have room for fancy ice cream, especially if it's well-decorated, Instagram-worthy ice cream MN nice cream has classic flavored basic soft serve but the toppings are extremely fun, you can defiantly get creative and the staff will make it happen.

This ice cream is delicious. It's so smooth and creamy. They don't have a ton of soft serve flavors but you can customize with the large variety of toppings. Otherwise, I personally like to order the specialties so I don't have to pick toppings. I just go too crazy if it's left up to me to pick. I thought about taking a picture but I just dove in instead. I stopped in during the middle of a week day so no issues with lines.

Instagram ice cream. Looks good, but is just meh overall. We had the Camper which is ice cream with peanut butter bark, pretzels, graham cracker, toasted marshmallows, and peanut butter sauce. There were a few bites that were really good but many that were just ok. It's worth coming here once to see the creations, but if you are looking for really tasty ice cream, I'd go else where.

The vibes of this place are so cute, definitely worthy of an Instagram story post! The topping options were great and plentiful! Lots of variety. I tried the cookie butter ice cream and loved it! Parking on the street was very easy but could fill up quick on a summer day. Benches outside were great to have a group of people. Price was standard for specialty ice cream. It came out super quick, which helped move the line!

Holy DELICIOUS! MN Nice Cream is a northern miracle! #Vegan ice cream & toppings. #glutenfree RAINBOW waffle cone & toppings. It was SO special and delicious to order a crazy cone like this. As an allergy-friendly eater, I hardly ever get a chance to order the grammable food. Lots of vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options! Thank you, MN Nice Cream, for inventing the Gone Bananas Bananas, peanuts, Reese's PB syrup, puppy chow, sprinkles and GLITTER on a vegan, GF rainbow waffle cone and vegan cake batter soft serve. This location has very cool outdoor seating shared with the brewery. It also has a great Instagram wall!! A definite must EAT in Minneapolis!

MN Nice Cream never disappoints! The shop itself is pretty small, but there is usually plenty of seating outside. The staff is also very friendly and fast at making the ice cream surprises. There is parking on the side streets and lot behind the old brewery building, but it is a little hard to find. Don't let the parking deter you though. On a warm MN spring/summer day it's a perfect treat!

I have frequented this spot a few times . This time it wasn't busy whatsoever. I did go for their special they posted on Instagram , but they didn't have it posted anywhere in the store . Luckily I asked . The staff is kind , but not very informative about items. Like I said I came for the Northeast locations august "workers choice". This is key lime and cake batter both vegan and gluten free. The cake batter was quite bland, but the key lime was a perfect summer flavor. This had a nice green color and just enough tartness. The "special cone" had the two ice creams twisted, graham crackers , cheesecake, Carmel, and coconut, in a waffle cone. I loved this special the best part was that they put Carmel at the bottom of the cone, reminiscent to a "drumstick" I really enjoy this ice cream spot , and love they have different ice cream options. Their oat milk options are soooo yummy . I will say their ice cream seems to melt faster than others , so get to licking . The store is also a great place for Instagram photos and they support local artist with selling their merchandise.

MN Nice Cream gives very ice cream shop vibes! I loved the decor and aesthetic, but the ice cream itself was more of a let down. Their space is super cute and color, all decked out with ice cream stuff but is very small. Luckily there is some great outdoor seating during the hotter months. For ice cream, they have a few speciality ice cream combos and regular ice cream with toppings you can choose if you would like. I decided to get the cookie monster ($8) with panna cotta ice cream (seasonal). The ice cream itself was just okay plus the toppings made it overwhelming sweet. I also think it is very pricey for what you get. It's a smaller portion size than some ice cream shops. And my friends that went with me completely agree. It is not worth the price, but it is worth the picture! If you are looking for a good Instagramable spot, this is it! But if you are looking for equally tasty ice cream, I would go somewhere else.

Super delicious soft serve place with vegan options! They truly have all the toppings you can imagine with 6 different ice cream flavors. My favorite thing to get is the Cookie Monster- it has cookie dough, Oreos, sprinkles, and caramel sauce! They load it up with the toppings and always present it beautifully. The service was great and the ambiance was very cute with colorful murals and the slogan "Ice cream solves everything" which I have to agree with!

Ice cream does solve everything @mnicecream We got the Bourbon caramel brownie and it is definitely a shareable serving!

LOVE this place!!! There is always something for everyone. Love their rotating flavors, vegan soft serve options, cute ambiance, and decor. My favorite part is being able to put glitter on your ice cream! As a cookie dough lover too, I love that this place makes their own and doesn't use the mainstream cookie dough ball toppings. Such a great place!! Highly recommend!! The service is fast and friendly even when their line is out the door!!

I went here super long ago, uploaded my picture, and totally forgot to review! So here is my very late review: MN Nice Cream is awesome! I ordered an Extra Small Twist in a Cone, but asked for it in a cup as I hate when it drips on my hands but love how cones taste. They gave me a huge portion considering I ordered the extra small, their prices were fair, and their ice cream was awesome as can be ascertained from the mile long line of people waiting to get outside and try. They offer a wide selection of some really awesome looking ice creams with decadent toppings that I will have to come back and get on a day where I am much much hungrier. Looking forward to coming back. So far, here and Sebastian Joes are my favorites in the cities.

Such a fun place! I loved the soft serve and the huge list of toppings. I've been there twice since my first time and I always love it. It turns out to be around $7 for the cone and one topping which may seem like a lot, but the ice cream is big so I think its worth it. They have cute merch too!

An incredibly hot Saturday afternoon called for some ice cream. Long line outside this small outpost, but was able to get to the front after 12 minutes. Flavors here are limited and the ice cream itself is actually soft serve. Nonetheless, there are plenty of options for toppings to make it custom. Decided on the Chocolate/Vanilla Swirl with peanut butter sauce, PB cookie dough bits, and Butterfinger crumble ($6ish). Not bad flavors, though hard to eat within the confines of the cup (cone may have been better). Most of the specialty cones are pretty hefty, so if wanting something more than there's the option. This spot is more about location than anything else as there is a brewery nearby. Take over there and enjoy.

As a soft serve lover, I've been a fan of having MN Nice Cream around since it opened! The Twin Cities has a huge ice cream scene, but it was missing a delicious soft serve place that wasn't just Dairy Queen - and I think this fills that spot. Located in NE by Able Brewery, it's the perfect spot to stop by on a hot summer day or hop to after hitting all the breweries and restaurants in the area. The shop is small, but they keep it efficient since they often have a long line out the door. They keep the line moving with their cashless system, and had 3 people making ice cream on this busy Friday night. The ambiance here is very whimsical and childlike, while still being super trendy & instagrammable! The indoor seating is very limited and gets crowded on a busy night - but we were sitting on the Able patio so we didn't mind. One thing I love about this place is they have plenty of vegan options available. I have friends who are dairy-free/vegan, so it's an easy spot to grab a treat. It's even more fun that they consistently rotate their two vegan flavors! Today's were cake batter and key lime. When you order, you can choose from one of their pre-made sundaes - loaded with toppings, or make your own! Heads up that their pre-made sundaes are extremely loaded, so you have to get a medium or larger. I personally love their extra small size, since all the toppings are piled on and rich I always had trouble finishing anything bigger. This time around, I got the chocolate vanilla twist with vegan cookie dough, sprinkles & coconut whipped cream (note: they forgot my sprinkles, but quickly added them when I let them know!). The ice cream itself wasn't anything special, but I was just in the mood for some classic soft serve. Their cookie dough was the star of the show, with it being salty & sweet - and they really piled it on there! The coconut whipped cream was also a unique twist and added a nice flavor. My roommate got the key lime-cake batter twist, and it was amazing! I personally didn't love the cake batter twisted with the lime, but the key lime was so citrusy and tropical. Also, one thing that Nice Cream does best is getting toppings throughout your cone! My friends that had cones got halfway through and we're delightfully surprised at some more toppings inside. Even on a busy night, I'd recommend grabbing some soft-serve here! Also, just a general note: I wouldn't recommend getting the glitter. Most "edible" glitter is just non-toxic, not ~really~ edible.

Cute space! The line was very long when we arrived at 9:15ish, which was a clear sign it's popularity. Thankfully things moved at a good pace! That said, it did make maneuvering through the small space and entry tight. There's a variety of merchandise in the small retail section up front. They've got earrings, tees... all really cute. The star of the business is of course the ice cream. I always thought it was a pricey place, but turns out it doesn't have to be. You can chose from various types of ice cream sizes, cones and a la carte toppings. My XS vanilla/ chocolate, cake cone, with 2 toppings was just over $5 and more than filling. It's a nice place to bring someone when you're going for an out of the norm, novelty, cutesy ice cream experience.

Absolutely delicious, gorgeous interior, and so many amazing vegan and gluten free options. Service was wonderful, everyone was super kind and ice cream came out fast!

Quick service even for a long line! Friendly workers and great ice cream! Cool atmosphere with outdoor seating.

Gluten free waffle cones, delicious soft serve, edible glitter - what more could you want? MN Nice Cream is yummy and perfect as a dessert for Animales BBQ right outside. All of their ice cream is gluten free, egg free, and nut free, and they have vegan options made with oat milk. Their vegan/gf waffle cone is tie dye and delicious. We tried the swirled vanilla and chocolate soft serve as well as the "Gone Bananas" cones - both were fantastic.

Omg! The size and sheer variety of things they incorporate into one of these cones is amazing. For $7 something it's a deal! Other places charge around the same but this place stuffs the cone with all the toppings down to the bottom. They give you a convenient cone holder because there is a real chance of you losing some if you don't eat it fast. It's a child's dream and maybe an adults too.

The ice cream here is pretty good. I like how you can create your own ice cream and have the option to have it in a cup or cone. The inside it's cute and you can take cute pictures there with the neon signs as the background. The young lady that took our orders was friendly and very helpful.

Last minute date night brought my boyfriend and I here on this beautiful late summer night. Fun, colorful inside but not a ton of inside seating which is totally because there is tons outside. Less ice cream options than I was expecting but still good variety. Vegan cake batter was tasty and couldn't even tell it was made with oat milk. One thing I LOVED was they truly gave you plenty of toppings - did not slack on the toppings! Fair prices and nice staff. Check it out with the family or on a date night!

This is one of those fun and unique ice cream spots you would bring your friends to. I love the creativity and how decked out these specialty cones are! It really makes me feel like a kid and makes eating ice cream even more fun. I appreciate all the different toppings and the option to choose your ice cream with the speciality items. Though it's not the best ice cream compared to other iconic spots here, but I love all the toppings and goodies that come with it. The outdoor seating is perfect for a hot summer day to enjoy your nice cream!

I love this place! Super creamy soft serve (lactose free) plus vegan options - so it's not a traditional ice cream place but maybe it's better? They are known for their toppings and elegant and fun and beautiful creations! Worth a visit for sure. Indoor space is limited but there is plenty of outdoor space for summer ice cream enjoyment!

Hello diabetes, I welcome you with open arms. When it comes to the pure aesthetic of an Instagrammable cone, look no further than MN Nice Cream. I tried the Camper specialty cone: peanut butter, pretzels, graham crackers, toasted marshmallow, peanut butter sauce and sprinkles. They definitely didn't skimp on the toppings or even the ice cream, as I had a hard time finishing it. Deliciously peanut-y, the Camper tasted like a s'more on 'roids and I couldn't be happier. I wouldn't say the actual soft serve is out of this world (it was vanilla soft serve, come on.) but you should definitely go here if you're a toppings fanatic. On a busy Saturday night, the service moved faster than I expected for how many people were waiting, although I would recommend eating outside near Able's brewery as inside is pretty cramped. But there is a very cute neon sign and wall perfect for Insta pictures (yes, I am that basic). Location is a little difficult to find parking as is anything in NE Minneapolis, but worth going here if you're around in the area. Prices were fair, eat up, and ice cream DOES solve everything.

I loved this place!! You can park on the side of the street and you walk up to the building and swing a right and up the stairs so took a second to figure out where it was. It's an alley way set up and so you order in the beginning and get your ice cream at the end. They have an amazing wall - perfect for your IG photos. I order the Gone Bananas and my friend got the Camper. They also have the option to build your own but these sounded so amazing. And the price is so reasonable!! I got the "twist" of vanilla and chocolate as my base and they had other options too. The employees are so friendly and it does take a few minutes to get your ice cream because the employee is taking the time to make it look beautiful and we loved their passion in what they were doing! My ice cream was bananas, peanuts, puppy chow, sprinkles, and peanut butter sauce. Yummmm. We went outside at sat on tables they had set up. Really enjoyed this place!

The quality of ice cream MN ice cream serves is wonderful! You can pick one of their signature ice creams or make your own! They had many choices that it makes it hard to pick what you want but it tasted amazing! I had the twist with the blue moon and vanilla with fruity pebble topping!

If you're vegan and happen to be in this area and want ice cream, give them a try. While the cookies and cream soft serve I had was very good, MN has other, better vegan ice cream options. I wouldn't go out of my way to come back.

Cute and colorful spot for lactose free or vegan soft-serve ice cream. There are not many flavor options- vanilla and chocolate stay consistent and the other two tend to rotate, but what they lack in flavor they make up for in toppings. You can order one of the recommended presets, or build your own. Pick a cake cone, rainbow or regular waffle cone, or a bowl, and pick your flavor and toppings. Add some free edible glitter for some pizzaz.

I guess if you're an influencer, this might be a great spot for you. Otherwise, it's not worth the hype. It's got some neon sign about ice cream that people love to take pictures with and I guess is cute? We waited in line that wrapped around the building for a very long time and all three of our orders were incorrect, including a dairy free order. I'll give them props for having maybe two dairy free options on their menu, however it's a moot point when the orders are incorrect anyway. The one star is for for the edible glitter. Would not recommend.

I'm from out of town and heard this was a good place to get ice cream. First of all the place smelled like fertilizer/manure very unpleasant. The ice cream was ok The other situation that would cause me to never go back even if I lived here...was the 18 percent service charge they charged without warning. There was no info telling you that you would be charged an 18 percent service fee. When I called I was told it was to supplement the workers wages. Maybe that's something that goes on here but not where I'm from. I doubt I would have walked out if I was told this was going to happen but I will never go back. I'll look for a good ice cream place that pays their employees a fair wage.

Okay I have always LOVED this place. When I went to the UMN, I truly would go here on a weekly basis. I didn't go here for a few months since I was away and was looking forward to going back since I missed their ice cream. However, I came by here today and was disappointed to see that they had made their sizes smaller and kept their prices the same (or maybe it just felt smaller...but a friend of mine also thought the sizes shrunk). Their small used to be a lot larger, and for the price...it felt a bit expensive. But their ice cream truly is fantastic, and their cookie dough is my favorite of all time. So it's a bit more expensive in terms of ice cream, but for the most part, it's worth it.

I love that MN nice cream has dairy free options! It's pretty tasty but some options seem strictly aesthetic (my rainbow-colored waffle cone was pretty "meh").

An ice cream spot across from Able Brewery? Perfect for us! My spouse can enjoy an ale & I will enjoy my ice cream concoction! I picked out an unusual pairing, topping it with edible glitter.

Wonderful ice cream on a hot day, they let's us try a couple before we to choosing a flavor. They have great outdoor seating

If you want a fun and lively place to get ice cream - MN nice is the place to go! Colorful inside, friendly staff, and nicely next to able brewing with outdoor seating. Would recommend the Cookie Monster!
