Call me a soft serve snob because well, I am. It just hits different. Cup and cone? It just hits different. Rich, creamy, milky, grade A soft serve. I'm a basic vanilla guy however I've tried other flavors and their dole whip. All fire. You can also dip your soft serve. On a different occasion when it was too hot outside I did a cherry dip. Melted like crazy under the dip but still fire and I'd do it again. Haven't tried their food but it always smells good. Should you give any and all the above a shot? Absolutely. Drive across town at rush hour hating your life in traffic? Worth it. The location? Small lot, street parking options, the cutest little stand you could ask for with a few benches to the side. I love it. Spring and summer will eventually be here, do yourself a favor and go treat yourself at cup and cone.

I wasn't amazed by the taste. Definitely not worth waiting in line for.... However, on the plus side. The portion for a large cup of twist ice cream was impressive and the amount of cookie dough toppings for $0.73 was great. I will give them credit for that. Price for what I got was a total of $5.09. Which is good price for the amount of ice cream I received. Overall I don't think they lived up to their hype. But if you want a big portion of decent ice cream for good price, give it a try. They do have outdoor seating and a small parking lot.

I sampled chocolate with peanut butter, pirates booty, strawberry and raspberry sorbet. I n didn't sample peppermint bon bon as I know what that tastes like. I got a 2 scoop cup of pirate booty which has mini m&ms in it. It was good. I then got a small raspberry sorbet with strawberry ice cream on top. The strawberry was really good. The raspberry sorbet was kinda too sweet. I rarely eat ice cream, but this was a nice treat. Plus my company gave me a gift card to SA. It is nice working for a for profit company. Never no profit again for me.

This is a historic site and their operations run extremely smoothly. Long lines? Yes on hot summer days. Contrary, the order window moves swiftly as employees are well seasoned. The pickup window separates the lines but due to the small area, it can often appear more congested then it really is. Offering more than 50 soft serve flavors, dipped cones, flurries and other cold treats, there are also hot eats like burgers, mini corn dogs, deep fried pickles, cheese curds and more. My favorite hot item is the mini corn dogs. My favorite cold item is an ores flurry or any of the soft serve flavors. If you love the fair, this is as close as you'll get to one offseason. Oh yeah, they also do pup cups and the funding goes to support the animals. Enjoy!!

I ordered a Grilled Cheese panini and added turkey. I ate one half and brought the other half home to my son. Fellow Yelper Garrett Z recommended this Scotcharoo ice cream and I bought a pint.

Very good panini, seemed expensive as no chips were included but portion was nice. Gooey cheese!

This has always been our favorite place to get ice cream, but after our most recent experience,…read morewe're reconsidering returning. We placed an order through the app for delivery, as we have many times before. The order arrived quickly, but it was completely different from what we paid for. I called the St. Paul location, expecting an easy resolution. Unfortunately, the experience was very disappointing. The employee who answered said he would look into it, then set the phone down and began speaking negatively about me to other staff members--even though I had been polite throughout the call. It was very unprofessional. He said a manager would follow up. A few days later, a manager contacted me and apologized, saying they would issue a refund and send a gift card, which I appreciated (though it wasn't necessary). It has now been a month, and I have not received anything. I've followed up twice with no resolution.

Can't go wrong with good ice cream!!!…read more The ice cream is so delicious and creamy! So many flavors to choose from-- quick and friendly service ! They will also give you samples to try if you're indecisive, like me ! Ultimately, I was in the mood for pistachio so I went with that and it came with a cute little chocolate ball on top! Great spot to go for a late night treat!!! Will definitely return !

A cute start up! Casa Maya has great social media which is how I found out about the bakery…read more Located in North Saint Paul, I recommend making a day out of the main drag strip and also supporting other local surrounding businesses. My first impression was mediocre because the space didn't feel super luxurious or inviting. Additionally, the donuts were pretty picked over. I arrived closer to the tail end of the shop hours and the selection was thin which was probably my error. Therefore, I recommend coming early to take advantage of all the products. Coffee to my knowledge is not currently served as the staff member informed me he didn't want to compete with a permanent coffee truck stand across the street which is fair. I do believe I noticed some sodas and iced drinks in the fridge. The donut I had was good. Nothing that blew me away and nothing bad. I'm rating 4 stars because the interior didn't make me feel cozy or welcomed. It almost felt unfinished. If the inside gets a boost and the pastry display is shining crystal clear with abundant products, I would bump this up to a 5.
