Homemade ice cream with unique, rotating flavors like Pavoratti
"A quintessential Twin Cities ice cream shop known for the 'Nicollet Avenue Pothole' flavor, a chocolate-and-caramel homage to the city's freeze-thaw cycles." - Stacy Brooks
"With two locations and nearly 200 flavors, Sebastian Joe’s has become a Minneapolis dessert icon. Get one of the signature scoops that are always, like raspberry chocolate chip, Pavorotti (vanilla ice cream with caramel, bananas, and chocolate chips), or Nicollet Avenue Pothole (chocolate ice cream loaded with caramel, Heath chunks, fudge, and sea salt). The homemade waffle cones dipped in chocolate and sprinkles are a genius way to enjoy both confections. Summertime is great for sitting on the patio and watching kids climb on the tortoise statue, but winter means ordering the affogato and warming up by their fireplace." - stacy brooks
"A 30-year stalwart of the local ice cream scene with enduring fan favorites (including the affectionately named Nicollet Avenue Pothole, a fudgy perennial favorite), representing long-running neighborhood institution status." - Julie Yu
"Sebastian Joe’s was the shop that introduced Minneapolis to premium ice cream in 1984 — nowadays, it’s one of the Twin Cities’ most beloved shops. The flavors here tread the line between classic and inventive: The tart raspberry chocolate chip and the Pavoratti, which melds flavors of banana and caramel, are favorites. Sebastian Joe’s has locations in both Lowry Hill and Linden Hills, with another coming soon to Nicollet Avenue." - Eater Staff
