Superior Creamery

Lake Superior Creamery is exactly the kind of small-town ice cream shop I love — full of charm and that homemade feel that just makes you smile. The ice cream is absolutely delicious, rich, and clearly made with care. It’s the kind of place that screams small-town goodness in the best possible way. I’ll definitely be coming back the next time I find myself across the Atlantic! 🍦🇺🇸✨

So this shop makes all of their ice cream daily from scratch. They get all of their cream from Forest Lake, MN. They are a local shop and a hot spot. Expect a line most of the day. Their prices are incredibly fair and they have a clean lobby to eat your ice cream in. We came right as they opened with a large group and they were extremely friendly. We ended up having a conversation as each person ordered, all of us with something different. Like their name, they really are a superior creamery. You will absolutely love the flavors here. We travel often and eat from a creamery or ice cream shop everywhere we go. It’s a family tradition we have and this place easily ranks in our top two. Try them out and you will not be disappointed. We loved their ice cream so much that we came back again before they closed to buy another scoop! We tried each other’s flavors and I highly recommend all of them!

Amazing ice cream! The salted honeycomb and the vanilla with homemade hot fudge with walnuts was an experience! Nice people great food! Must stop for anyone!

The ice cream is truly superior. The line is worth it! The home made waffle cone is delicious and stays crispy. We sat on the cute patio lined with flowers and wondered how is their ice cream THIS GOOD… 😋

This local ice cream store is amazing. It has a small but good selection of flavours. I tried the slated honeycomb, lemon sorbet, biscoff cookie butter, Dutch chocolate and ended up with the salted honeycomb as my choice. Overall I recommend to try this cute and tasty ice cream store.

This spot had delicious ice cream and sorbet, a super clean and inviting space, and friendly staff. We were super pleased with the entire experience. Their patio is spacious and shaded with plenty of seating. Indoor seating was also spacious, clean, and well styled.

Me and my daughter are big fans - a visit here makes for a pefect mama and daughter treat! My toddler likes the chocolate with sprinkles or strawberry sorbet. She is also looking forward to trying the mango sorbet and the birthday cake. I enjoy the sorbets and am obsessed with the Salted Honey in a sugar cone! The vanilla is a great classic too! I am looking forward to picking up a pint of the Salted Honey in the near future. The steak sandwich with their flavored lemonade (rosemary or strawberry etc depending on the day) is so happy making! The staff and owners have all been welcoming and helpful! Glad for the addition of this sweet business!

The ice cream is good. Really good. The venue offers a variety of nice seating options, both indoors and outdoors. Staff is welcoming and friendly. It is a great place to gather and hang out with friends or family. It isn’t cheap ($5 for a single scoop and $10 for a Sunday - but it is really really good). It’s easy to find on Broadway in Grand Marais. Parking is free on the street or in a near by lot. It’s near the Worlds Best Donuts, so I encourage you to make a plan to grab a donut in the morning and a sundae in the evening. Enjoy.

This place was so cute and had some of the best ice cream we've had! They also serve coffee and had variety of other drinks. They had some apparel for sale and cute novelty items. Service was quick despite the long line. Cute decor and plenty of seating indoors. When you're in Grand Marais, it's a must stop! You won't be disappointed!

Went yesterday and was not closed. My husband got the lavender honeycomb ice cream and said it was the best ice cream he's ever tasted. Will be back tomorrow! I got the blueberry mint sorbet and didn't love it so much, probably because blueberry isn't a very strong flavor, going to try something else tomorrow!

Cute & spacious space with really kind staff. My partner got the affogato with vanilla ice cream and he loved it. I tried the golden milk and wasn't a fan and got the mint cookie crumble and it's sooooo good! Very minty and creamy. Highly recommend to stop by if you're in Grand Marais.

Wow, is this ice cream good. I've tried several different ice creams here and my favorite is the honeycomb is out of this world. It's creamy and crunch with the fresh honeycomb. My relatives love the sorbet's and I've also tried the chocolate varieties. All very good. The service has always been friendly and efficient. The small location has indoor and outdoor seating and it warm and welcoming. Highly recommend.

Not only is their icecream superior, but their customer service is too! We had a biscoff cookie scoop, sweet honeycomb scoop and Dutch chocolate with HOMEMADE chocolate sauce! I have celiac and was asking about the chocolate sauce. The owner wasn't working, so the employee called the owner to make sure there was no gluten in the sauce!! Thank you for understanding the seriousness of celiac and being so kind! The chocolate sauce is beyond amazing...thick, rich and silky.

Hands-down, the best ice cream I have ever had in my entire life. I cannot recommend highly enough the honey comb ice cream. It is to die for.

Supreme indeed. Tried lavender honeycomb and pistachio. The former is a little seeeter for my taste but goes great with affogato. Also they sell local Fika coffee. I love how this town brings influences from around the country and delivers on quality food.

Great service. While they have nut allergens present, so certainly a "may contain", they do an excellent job accommodating (fresh scoops from the back) needs. And the ice cream is soooo good!

Adorable ice cream shop with beautiful decor/wallpaper serving super rich and creamy ice cream! There was a pretty long line out the door but it moved pretty quickly. Didn't realize they gave out samples but I'm not a huge sorbet or chocolate ice cream person so I went with the superior vanilla. It tasted like condensed milk and wasn't the greatest but my husband got the chocolate with nuts on top which he really really liked!

This is around the corner from where I stay. They make it here, which I love. Hard ice cream on waffle cones or cups. I always get chocolate but this is a fudge type, which I don't prefer and they don't offer shakes. I wish they would. I'll get vanilla from now on. I was surprised that there is so much room to sit inside. Even a table for a large party. A good size bathroom for customers too. They sell some gifts that looked cool in the front that are from local vendors if I recall. The AC was perfect on a blistering day. Ice cream was definitely needed here.

Ice cream was scrumptious Service was scrumptious Ambience was scrumptious Overall scrumptious

Amazing Icecream! This is a new shop that just opened this summer. The owners are locals to the area and the ice cream is made fresh in the shop daily. I had the honey ice cream and it was a flavor experience. The owners work in the shop and are super nice and helpful with any questions you have. All of the flavors are amazing. I got to try 4 since my kids all got cones. This is my new must-stop shop for sweet treats in GM.. I will be back and I need to try the fresh-cut fries!

If I owned an ice cream shop, this is what I would want it to be. Superior Creamery in Grand Marais, MN, delivers delicious dairy flavors and sorbets that are simply unforgettable. The golden milk ice cream was perfection, and the watermelon sorbet, while not quite at perfection, was still very good. The atmosphere is enhanced by cool music playing in the background. While the interior is somewhat plain and could be better adapted to fit the charming location, it's clear that the stars here are the ice cream and coffee, not the decor. A special shoutout for the great kombucha on tap - a refreshing bright addition. I tried the blueberry, and it was so delicious. The cherry on top was their affogato, my favorite Italian coffee treat, expertly crafted. Well done, Superior Creamery. I loved the moment!

Delightful shop for food and ice cream! Great place for a treat! Yum! Cute setting and lovely team makes it fun!

I came here during a summer weekend with my 8 year old daughter and I must say they have phenomenal ice cream. Lots of different flavors and options. I ordered a drip coffee with my ice cream and after one pump of cold coffee it was out so I informed the young man working. Another young man said he would get a new one out right away. My daughter and I both finished our ice cream and new coffee was ever brought out. After we finished I went up to a guy older than the other 2 and he seemed like the manager or owner and I simply wanted a refund for my coffee. He offered an espresso drink which I declined because I wanted a coffee with my ice cream. He then apologized and refunded my coffee as well as one of our ice creams which I thought was very generous - I would have been happy with just a coffee refund. Amazing ice cream and fantastic management even when things don't go as planned! Highly recommend!

Excellent ice cream and friendly service! The selection and uniqueness of flavors was great. We visited twice during our stay.

AMAZING! Outstanding variety of eclectic flavors. Always more than 1 I want to try. The owner and staff really care about their customers.

10/10 WONDERFUL ice cream. Their flavors are phenomenal. The lavender honeycomb is something I will think about for a long time. A must do on your trip to Grand Marais!

Excellent fresh ice cream spot in Grand Marais. Recommended to us by our hotel front desk person and we were so glad we tried it.

Amazing ice cream! We tried the Salted Honey Bee and Strawberry Sorbet. So so so so so good! A must visit in Grand Marais

Their salted honey bee ice cream is TO DIE FOR! Tastes like the ice cream I used to make as a kid (like ziploc bag, ice, salt vibes) but in the best way possible. Super fresh and light. Really friendly staff! Also maple walnut and seasonal pumpkin spice flavors are worth a try.

Delicious handcrafted ice cream by wonderful people. We had the maple walnut, cranberry orange sorbet, peanut butter chocolate chip, strawberry sorbet, mint cookie, and the coffee chocolate chip. They were all so good, none of us could pick our favorite. We went both days we were in GM and it will be a must when we return. Also loved that they had dairy-free options. Highly recommend.

The ice cream is all homemade so it tastes amazing! Have fun unique flavors and add little garnishes to make your ice cream more aesthetic

sweet people, better ice cream - or sorbet. came back twice in one day to try both. even with a line they moved fast and had a nice space for people to get in and get out.

Finally something that rivals Izzy's, my old favorite. The salted honey bee was just excellent.

A great ice cream stop in Grand Marais! Ice cream was flavorful and waffle cone was crispy. There were two high schoolers being trained in--I was impressed by the trainer's commitment to quality for the customers coupled with kind instruction for the new employees. I took my cone to go, but the space was friendly.

Great service ("with a smile") and while the flavors are limited, they are awesome. If you have a chance to try "Salted Honey Bee" just do it. Delicious vanilla with salty honey notes. Amazing. Went back for more the next day awesome.

Excellent hand made ice cream with creative flavors. Dogs are welcome on their patio. We had the Dutch Chocolate, Snickerdoodle, and Praline Pecan and each one was great. Check them out!

Great stop in Grand marais!! Fantastic homemade ice cream. Highly recommend. Not too many flavors to choose from which made it easier to decide!

Wow, homemade ice cream on a cold winter day! This place is great! Spotless inside, super friendly staff, the owners I believe, and great ice cream!! Give these guys credit for being opened on the weekends during the winter months, but enjoy the short line as I am sure this summer, the line will be out the door! We'll be back.

A nice place! They have so many mixtures of homemade ice cream. They're very nice people. The service is friendly and kind. Root beer float was amazing. Koen age 9

This place is amazing the ice cream is so good and the fries are the boom! If you want fries or ice cream come hear now!

New shop that opened about a month ago. Had the Dutch chocolate with Reese's pieces in a waffle cone. Absolutely yum! Nice selection and the ice cream is made on site. Check it out on your North Shore run.

Superior was truly superior. Actually, it was so good we came back the next day to enjoy the ice cream. We tried a number of flavors, including maple walnut, coffee chip, and orange cranberry. All amazing. We plan on stopping in again next time we are up from the twin cities. Thank and keep it up guys!
