My boyfriend and I have made it a mission to try out all the unique and rather "hidden" ice cream gems in Minnesota and this was next on our list. I was a little doubtful after trying some parlors that we'd never heard about before only to be disappointed, but this was not the case!
This place doubles up as a restaurant and ice cream shop so upon entrance, you'll be asked which you're looking for. The staff are really friendly and accommodating, ESPECIALLY to someone so incredibly indecisive like me. I literally think I sampled more than half the flavors, I'd be annoyed myself if I was the worker, but she just kept smiling and giving me recommendations. If you're a sorbet type of person, THIS is the place to go. I actually didn't try any of their sorbets this time around, but they had SO many different sorbet flavors, the most I've ever seen at an ice cream parlor and they're quite unique flavors!
Now, on to the ice cream. They have such a large variety of flavors, you can't go wrong coming here. They have the typical flavors that everyone enjoys like cookies and cream, and then the very unique ones like olive oil, matcha, etc. After probably taking much too long to decide, I got a double scoop of maple syrup walnut and strawberry with angel food cake. What I really enjoyed about the maple syrup walnut was the walnut was grounded up and thoroughly mixed within the ice cream instead of having just regular ice cream with a few actual walnuts here and there. It was so delicious and not overwhelmingly sweet, but just the right amount. The angel food cake mixed in the strawberry ice cream was very light and was such a good touch. The ice cream was creamy and just melted in my mouth. Ugh, drooling thinking about it now.
Double scoop came out to $8 something, so I would say it's quite pricey for what you're getting, especially because the portion is quite small. But overall, I really enjoyed it and this would definitely be a place I would try again.. maybe just not so often. My wallet would hate me otherwise.
