Such a great place for a cold treat or a yummy snack. They have comfy tables, play great music and everyone is so kind. The popsicles (paletas) are so delicious and they have so many flavor options. I got the mangonada with the chamoy straw and it was perfect. Everything here looks so tasty I'll have to come back. read more

We swung in for ice cream post pizza dinner next door. The staff greeted us and we were one of a few groups on an early Friday evening. The space is really cute and has a lot of very instagrammable options with statement walls, ceiling mounted swings and a large suspended plastic globe chair. They had dozens and dozens of options for ice cream flavors and fresh fruit bars so truly something for everyone. read more

There is a large selection of the items you can purchase. We came here just for some ice cream which tasted great. The line moves pretty fast and the staff is always active making the orders for everyone. The establishment is pretty clean. The only issue we came across was telling the staff member what we wanted. There definitely was a language barrier so we ended up having just to point at the items we wanted. Other than that it was a pretty good place. If I'm in the area i would probably stop by again read more

We were refused service. We stood in line like everyone else and when we got up to the counter, none of the servers would make eye contact. All three servers waited on customers who were in line after us. I'm assuming we were refused service because we were white. We wanted to support a local shop, but we ended up walking out. We'll happily give our money elsewhere. read more

Every time I drive past this spot, the line is out the door and onto the sidewalk. I now know why. This is hands down the BEST ice cream I've had in Minneapolis--fight me! Homemade, all natural ingredients, and so many options. The obvious must-get is Mangonada. It is fresh frozen mango purée, swirled with Tajin and topped with fresh mango. Served with a straw wrapped with a fruit leather Tajin spiced goodness! You just have to get it to understand its powers. Next up: get Gansito ice cream! They put this delicious Mexican version of a Twinkie into ice cream form and it's unreal. I love the pistachio and m&m ice cream here too. Can't go wrong! And get some popsicles to go! All homemade and over 30 insanely delicious flavors. Seriously, options are endless! Still hungry? Get a Flaming Hot Cheetos walking taco. I didn't even know I needed this until I saw it. I can't say enough about this place. An absolute MIST VISIT! read more

So, my daughter who lived in Las Vegas for 15 years had a favorite Mexican ice cream place her friend (who is originally from Mexico) always raved about. Now that she moved back to the Twin Cities, I knew I had to bring her and check out this place together. She actually ended up taking pictures and sending them to her friend, raving that this place is WAY better than the one she frequented in Vegas. They had easily 20 different paletas (fruit and/or ice cream bars on a stick), with several dairy free options. Probably 30 + ice cream flavors also with dairy free options. My mouth did a happy dance for the mango & coconut 2-scoop cone I chose, and my wallet did one too, as I got ice cream for 7 people and an elote cup for $40! Perhaps best of all was how friendly and helpful the staff were. When I mentioned we were bringing the paletas home and asked for an extra bag, the gal who helped us asked if I would like some ice in the bag... above and beyond service! This place is FIRE! read more

Wow! I'm so glad I made time to come here on my visit. Mask up - everyone there was. We decided on fruit bars and I told the employee there that I love fresh mango and hot sauce. Turns into that have that in a bar! Sweet, sour and spicy - exactly what I love. read more

La Michoacana Purepecha - Mango/Hot Sauce frozen fruit bar - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

The food is fantastic. I love it, but the only drawback is that the medium price is 9 dollars. It's rather expensive for such a small cup, and the small McDonald's cup is the same size as La Michoacana's cup. I think I'm just being cheap tho ‍‍‍ Honestly idk read more

I was visiting Minneapolis earlier this month and took a walk down Lake Street to check out some local businesses. As it was a warm afternoon in July, the ice cream called to me when I passed by La Michoacana Purepecha, and so I decided to give it a try. The place was packed but the staff are super friendly and took the time to offer me samples of some of the various, unique flavors: queso, mango, chongos zamoranos to name a few. I decided on the Ferrero Rocher flavor and was not disappointed. The next day I biked back here with a friend and we got some flavors to go. I tried the guava and decided to go with that. Though I'm not usually partial to fruit flavors, the guava was loaded with pieces of fresh fruit and was very refreshing and not too sweet. I will definitely return here next time I'm visiting Minneapolis in the summer. read more

Great ice cream flavors! Inside and outside seating. Friendly staff. Yummy in the tummy right away or bring home.

Agua frescas - great idea to put real fruit in the water, very refreshing. Fun vibe, happy noisy all ages crowd when I stopped while biking across the city. People seem to love their ice cream cones, next time! read more

The secret is out. Walking tacos are huge in big bag of Takitas. So good Mangonauta is over the top good. Think mango with Mexican tajin seasoning in a cup OMG They also have really thick homemade ice creams and fruit homemade popcicles read more

La Michoacana Purepecha - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

LOCATION: The neighborhood is on the east side of Downtown Minneapolis, MN. PARKING: Street parking; if it's earlier in the day, it's not hard to find a lot of street parking. But at busier times, it can be challenging. FOOD: I had the cookies and creme ice cream scoop on a waffle cone. It was so so so good. I enjoyed how they had big chunks of oreo cookie in it. PRICE: My friend paid for me so I'm not sure how the prices were. But, for whatever price it was, they really stacked the ice cream high for 1 scoop. SERVICE: The workers were nice. OVERALL EXPERIENCE: I liked the place. They had delicious ice cream and they also offer other ice cream/snacks. My friends ordered some savory snacks and they looked good too. I would come back for more ice cream :) read more

What is there not to love about this place?! Delicious paletas/popsicles, giant agua frescas, and big of scoops of ice cream and all for a good price! Various selections of flavors! Plus, it's all natural and fresh!. I've been here before for the paletas and agua frescas. This time I finally tried their ice cream. From all the flavors, I decided on Ferrero Rocher... because where else are you going to find that flavor? The nice lady helping me, just kept stacking the scoops of ice cream. I'm like oh my! Just for $4. The ice cream--"que rico" just like the chocolate! Whenever I come here, there are always customers -- that's a good sign. Next time I'm coming back to other flavors and try the other treats, perhaps chocolate covered banana or mangonada. Hmm.... read more

Been disappointed twice the girls act very dumb and are racist as if a sport. That's ok your folks should know what your doing to their life savings. You sell me a pint for $13, hand pack it, don't weigh it, call me out for watching you droop your clothes in the almost empty bucket. I get home all air pockets. Folks stay away cause that's what these girls want. Folks say but it's good. Super premium at a gas station twice as good price/butterfat. This stuff is low-fat. The horchata is good but the price of gasoline. In new places in the hood I go 3 times. Once curious next support next nowhere else to go. Well they don't get another visit. It's a great dream ruined. read more

So fun!!! Great ice cream and popsicle selection, and everyone there seems they're having such a good time!

Ok, this spot has some super yummy frozen treats. I had the mango and strawberry fruit bar, and it was so good. You can tell it was made fresh, and with real fruit. I also had the pistachio ice cream on a waffle cone -- also really yummy. Lastly, I tried the frozen chocolate bananas, which were ok. In general I'm not a big fan of choco bananas, but they were made fresh and with good quality chocolate. This place had so much variety, I'll definitely have to go back more than once to try more flavors. My friends recommended the strawberry kiwi and Ferrero Rocher bar. read more

The ice cream is really good. Flavors shine through and the mouthfeel isn't fatty or custard-y. Their popsicles are really fantastic... interesting flavor combos that you would not expect to work in a cold desert item read more

One of my favorite Mexican ice cream place, they have all natural fruit and a lot of choices, not only ice cream but a lot of Mexican treats. yuuuum yuuum..!!! If you want to taste real ice cream come here with your family. It has nice location, inside is all colorful so you feel you are in the right place for ice cream. Good prices, good people, good flavors. The only problem is to find a good parking space. read more

This place is just so much better than other commercial ice cream. It tastes so fresh! I'm loving the pistachio I'm eating right now, but where they most conspicuously shine is fruit flavors. read more

My new addiction. WOW! This business is not only taking initiative to limit Covid-19 by having hungry customers wait outside and 6+ feet apart, but they are also providing good comfort treats with excellent customer service. Finding parking on Lake Street is worth it! I didn't even leave my parking spot after I got my food. I couldn't drive AND eat my food. I chose to eat it all right here outside the establishment. That's how good it is! The owner was working alongside his staff which shows that he not only cares about his business but he also values his employees. Walking inside will definitely remind you that you don't have Covid because your sense of smell is off the charts. Fresh fruit, cooked corn, and chocolate galore. I'll be commuting here as often as I can. It's worth it. No wonder there is always a long line. read more

Obsessed with their mangonada. It's a must. It's like tangy, and sweet, and salty and just all the finger lickin' good. I hear all their ice cream is good....but this. is. it. And probably the only thing I'll get a few times over. Be forewarned, it's not a typical ice cream. It's like mango sorbet with fresh lil pieces of mango, tajin, chamoy and tamarind. So if you're expecting creamy goodness that is traditional ice cream, this specific treat isn't it. read more

La Michoacana Purepecha - Mangonada! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Hands down the most underrated ice cream shop in the Twin Cities. Why do I not know the existence of this place? Authentic, affordable, big portion, and large selections. This has become one of favorite spots in Minneapolis. I'm in love with this place! The cappuccino and Ferrero Rocher ice cream = must. No, actually everything is a must. The rum raisin flavored ice cream is surprisingly good. You can really taste the rum. I'd describe their ice cream texture as Cold Stone, the stretchy, creamy kind. So so so good. Can't wait to come back to try other flavors! read more

Very good food but very bad customer service. My husband and I are very picky eaters but love coming here because they are always willing to do changes for us. Right after covid the store was full off Teenagers/ collage students who at least were respectful and nice. Today we walked in and saw that had changed, We were greeted by this older lady with an attitude. When I gave her my order she turned around and started making fun of me and my husband. Find it very rude to just say things behind our backs and having an attitude when you're doing your job & getting paid. La michoacana needs workers with a better attitude read more

Very fresh tasting and delicious ice cream flavors. I had a scoop of Ferrero Rocher and M&M. I will definitely be going back to try more flavors. read more

This place is AMAZING! They have unique treats that I can't find anywhere else in Minneapolis without having to search extensively. They have drinks, ice cream, popsicles, chicharrones, and other unique Mexican street treats. The cons are that the space is very small and gets super crowded with the line extending out the door. The seating is mediocre and they only have ONE bathroom. Also, unless you are already familiar with the treats from your childhood, you will have no idea what you are ordering as there are no descriptions of what each item is. The plus side is that the employees are super sweet and helpful. Also, parking sucks. You gotta find parking on the surrounding streets as they don't have their own parking spots. But don't let the negatives deter you. Everything tastes super fresh and takes me back to my Mexican childhood. read more

Amazing ice cream, aguas frescas and other snacks and desserts! So authentic Mexican Michoacana! Contrary to what others have said, this is NOT a chain. This is a one of a kind place unique in that it is Michoacana Purepecha. I know the owners and this is not a chain. Flavors are amazing and you MUST try it to believe it!!! Over 50 flavors at least!!! read more

They offer amazing dessert options. I've only been there once and I'm quite satisfied with their ice cream and fruit treats. Not to mention it's literally walking distance from my house so it's perfect for a sunny day! I will come back again but only when the line isn't long. read more

They have so many unique varieties of popsicles and ice cream! We had ice cream today and it was great! It's not overly sweet and has a great texture! Highly recommend and can't wait to go back soon. read more

The horchata and Ferro Rocher popsicles are divine! And the pricing on the popsicles is unbeatable! Kids ice cream cone is on the larger side, and pricier than most locations. I only wish they had their menu posted on the windows so we could browse while waiting to get in. Given the current social distancing norms it would be helpful to get a look at the menu before entering the store rather than waiting to look for options inside. read more

So very good! I was at the East 7th St location in St Paul. Can't seem to find it here on Yelp. The mangonada was delicious -- cold, tangy, spicy, a little sweet. Perfection! I also had a cappuccino paletas and it was excellent too. Wasn't very busy but it felt safe and masks were worn by everyone. Hope to get back there soon! read more

This place has a HUGE selection of ice cream and frozen fruit bars. I ordered a single-scoop waffle cone and you get a massive portion they will serve with the cone in a dish to help make it easier to handle. The frozen ice cream and fruit bars look really good as well. Be ready to wait a little because the place is always busy, especially when the weather is warm! However, they set you up fast. Will go back! read more
