It's not everyday I would be able to convince my friends to go on a 3+ hour drive north to Duluth for this stuff. Visited at the end of May 2025. Ordered the honey lavender and goatcheese honeycomb flavors. Again... I'm heartbroken that this place only has locations in Duluth. We asked if they are planning to open up locations in the Twin Cities and it seems to be unlikely in the near future. Their flavors also differ from each location. The staff are friendly and lets you try out as much flavors as you want before deciding which one you would like to get.

I confess, I almost always order the Gnocchi with Gorgonzola cream sauce. I add shrimp and mushrooms. Little pillows of heaven. Awesome. Next time I am going to order another dish as my husband's choices have been stellar too. And don't skip dessert. The cannelloni is delicious and the gelato amazing too. You can even pick 2 flavors. Service is friendly and fun.

I loved the prosciutto topped with Gorgonzola and fig - it's the best combination. Ian was our server he was awesome, thankfully we were able to get a table today, the last time we went on a whim they were slammed so I highly recommend you make reservations. Our reservation was at 4:30 around 5 they dimmed the lights - setting the vibes, I love that. Great experience!

With February being the month of love and all, what better time to review Love Creamery in Duluth…read more Located right in the heart of Canal Park, this ice cream shop makes a perfect stop while visiting the area, no matter what season it is. Their honeycomb ice cream is simply amazing and one of my favorites (although the cookie monster ice cream is close). Honestly, every flavor though offers a unique spin. Even their vanilla is upgraded into a gourmet treat (it is my daughters favorite). I would highly suggest getting the flavor sampler so that you can try more flavors while enjoying a fun way of eating ice cream. One sampler easily fed my family of 5. Price point for their scoops of ice cream is great for the quality and experience. If you want to take your ice cream to go, a pint of pre packed goodness will run you $10. Love Creamery is probably one of the best ice cream places that I have experienced, high quality ice cream, unique flavors, and decent prices. No matter how cold it is outside, this ice cream joint brings on a warm, fuzzy feeling of pure delight.

This is very popular with visitors and locals alike. We came after dinner on a Saturday night and it was packed, line out the door. The line moved pretty quickly, so it wasn't too bad of a wait. We got a few different things. We liked the ice cream, very good overall, but I am not sure it is worth all the hype. For example, I got a salted caramel something and it was way too salty. The ice cream is very good quality, and the people working there are really nice, too. Just not my vibe.

While the treats here aren't mind blowing they're well made and worth the few mins wait, especially if your sweet tooth is calling. With an overlook to Lake Superior right next to the order line, it's a great spot to snack and view. Make sure not to stand to the side of the order windows or you'll never hear them call your name when your order is ready.

The place is clean and tidy, there was a line, but it went quickly. The team behind the counter seemed like they were working well together. The person who scooped my ice cream was friendly and offered me a cup and spoon in addition to my waffle cone. I really appreciate this since it was a hot day. The only other thing that could be better about this place is if they had one or two non-dairy ice cream options. Otherwise, great spot!

Beautiful setting with ambient lighting and a fire pit outside at night. Cozy outdoor seating. High quality unique ice cream flavors. A bit pricey but worth it for for ingredients.

First and foremost, I'd like to say what an amazing establishment. There is nothing like this that…read moreI know of in the Duluth area. Moreover, I hope the denizens of the Duluth area support this establishment because, as much as I enjoy OMC, Grandma's Canal Park Brewing, this kind of restaurant is needed here. The impetus for the above statement revolves around the absence of chef-driven and curated menus that capitalize on locality, creativity, and seasonality. This restaurant is located just on the other side of I-35. Smack-dab on Superior Street, next to North Shore Tattoo. Entering the establishment, you will see a simple and modestly adorned restaurant that is warm, inviting, and adequately lit. The menu is seasonal and robust with wonderful creations. Think of this as a Mediterranean tapas restaurant with a couple of larger entree-sized sharables. Everything we had was an incredible experience of contrasting flavours and textures. Here is what we had 1. Trio of Dips: You should get this so you don't miss out on the experience of each of these. It is hard to pick a favorite, but the Red Pepper Walnut was incredible. The citrus compote livened up this. The Labneh was quite lovely. More moisture should have been removed, but the selection of herbs atop of the labneh made this pop. The hummus was enjoyable, and had a thicker consistency than I usually have, but it was pretty good. 2. Seared Halloumi - Who doesn't like fried cheese?? The ouzo onions were a terrific addition. Get this one for sure. The hummus was enjoyable, and had a thicker consistency than I usually have, but it was pretty good. 3. Pickled and Stuffed Chard - This was a fun twist on dolmades, and I enjoyed this one. I considered this my salad/vegetable intake for the day :) 4. Braised Rabbit - This was the only disappointment of the whole evening. The leg was flavorful, but it was sooo dry, and I regret not getting the pork. The table next to us got the port, and I was jealous. 5. (Desert )Olive Oil Cake - I was full at this point, but ordered it anyway. It was awesome. You've come this far, order it and thank me later. I really hope the folks of Duluth appreciate this gem in your city, and please support this restaurant.
