Love the Blast, we drive 20 miles to have it! Last night super busy and we waited for 40 minutes and staff is very kind. But disappointed in our Flurries. Was mostly ice cream! Bummer, early in the season just starting they'll get better! read more

The Blast has been consistent once stop for years. I was happy to see it still busy! Our family favorites are the flavor bursts and the frosties (mainly blue raspberry). The staff has always been friendly! Make a point to stop here and check it out! read more

We were camping at the near by state park and were really lucky to find this place on a hot weekend!! Tons of options (mostly soft serve and DOLE WHIP!), HUGE servings, great prices. Blows DQ out of the water. Even if you're just driving through Owatonna on 35, this is worth a quick stop! read more

Blast Softserve - Medium twist - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Owatonna, Minnesota

The food is always amazing and such large portions too. After trying the cookie dough flurry, I knew I'd be back. My family and I now frequent it. Definitely worth the drive. The blugoo cone, strawberry shakes, the hot fudge sundae and of course the pup cups for the dogs were especially delicious today. The pumpkin spice was amazing too. The service is always great and the location next to the River and bridge is very relaxing. They do have some seating too which is nice while you wait. Wait isn't too bad even when there's a line. I will return! I can't wait to try the next ice cream treat when we come that way. read more

First time there. The service was lightning fast. My bride doesn't handle soft-serve well, so it was a huge plus to see they also served hard-serve ice-cream. She got a cone with coconut/chocolate chip ice-cream and loved it! I got a chocolate malt, and it was the best I've had in a very long time! Highly recommend! read more

Great local place. Tons of options and great prices. Always a line; Apparently the locals know what's up!

There were many different options for cool treat during summer . The food served was great

This place is a real deal, if you like Ice Cream and want your money's worth, this is the place to go. Dairy Queen is way too expensive.

Incredible prices and delicious soft serve. We got 2 small twist cones and 2 small sundaes for under $10. Both the cones and sundaes were huge servings. read more

Very convenient but wish they had more parking. Sometimes u have to wait but totally worth it

Great ice cream in a pleasant setting - right in the banks of the Straight River. If you're lucky the line won't be too long, but it moves quickly. Their flurries are wonderful - try to e strawberry rhubarb if it's in season! read more

WOW! Don't order a Small unless you are ready to eat a lot of ice cream. The Large is plenty for two people. If you have a dog or a toddler you can ask for a free pup cup of ice cream, which comes in a little sample cup. Cheap prices, amazing quality and crazy serving sizes! read more

Amazing selection and so delicious!!! They are so big and worth every sent of your money. Can't wait to come back for more next time.

Amazing ice cream amazing price huge serving sizes' always a staple and can't wait until they open all year!

I wish they had something this good in the TC. They'd make DQ want to slit their throats. Just a small stand with some large cones. The small is most others medium. It's nice and solid, not real drippy. If you're in Fairbault go the extra miles and check out this place. read more

Watch out DQ I hope you don't want to make any money in this city! I've been here three times now and it is seriously so delicious it's almost sinful. Smooth, creamy, cold, and so delicious you with you could get more when it is gone. I have tried the blizzard things, a smoothie, and have also had a cone with flavor swirls in it. The line is pretty long usually, but it's worth it! read more

I visit Sheboygan every summer with my grandparents and THIS is the place to go for delicious ice cream, especially if you like soft serve. They have generous portions for the prices, and their soft serve is amazing. Way better than the ice cream parlor across the river and half the price. read more

Huge servings!! The lines are often long, and parking is difficult at times, but it's worth it if you're looking for good ice cream!

Love the flavors available. Love the portion sizes and the prices. Love the atmosphere especially when the sun is setting. Love that this place brings the community together. Hate, hate, hate the long line. Have never waited for over 20 min for ice cream before.. timing from when we got there, waited in line about 4 people ahead of us, take our order, and then receiving the product.. total time was 20 to 25 min. read more

Blast is a hidden gem in Owatonna! I highly recommend trying the cookie dough or monster cookie flurries- served with real scoops of cookie dough! Yum! If that isn't enough to entice you, just know that the serving sizes are large. My boyfriend and I generally split a small flurry and we still end up with leftover ice cream in our freezer! read more

Great soft serve, at a great location. Tons of choices for a great summer treat. It is below the rose street pizzeria and is simply two windows I the side of the building. Great local spot. read more

Excellent softserve and you get alot for cheap. A med. is just right, try the large if you haven't eaten all day.

Geeze..The ice cream is delicious! Very generous servings for the amount paid for. Located right next to a pizza place so head down after for some dessert! Ice cream came out promptly, workers are nice, it's cheap, and a wide range of toppings. What more can you ask for? I shall definately come back again! read more

Greatest thing in town that's a legend and more with great prices. A must to have during summer in Owatonna.

This place is fucking awesome. The best softserve I have had in my entire life. Every bite was like having a orgasm in my mouth.

Excellent place to visit love the many choices that are given . Staff is friendly and upbeat service is fast

I'm not a big fan of sweets and I'm lactose intolerant BUT the lactose-free vanilla cone was delicious!! Had it on a rainy day and finished the whole thing. It is THAT good!! Worth coming back to Minnesota from California for (; read more

went to rose street pizzeria which was very good and found this gem.. $1.00 cones for kids. place was hoppin but still efficient service.

First trip this year, things have gone from the best to the worst. Chocolate malt like thick soup, absolutely no malt taste. Can only assume they skipped the malt powder and used too much milk. Ordered a flurry ( DQ lingo Blizzard) with "just" M&M's and Banana, they added chocolate syrup and Imitation M&Ms. Overfilled cup melting before even they handed it to me. Extra large servings of melting ice cream overflowing the cup just makes a big mess. Lots of staff visible, but it seemed like they were seeing who could wait on the fewest customers. Too bad this was a great place with reasonable prices. read more

This is the best softserve that you will find. Excellent prices and large portions. I really can't say anything negative about Blast. They are always friendly. read more
