Always a great stop for many choices of excellent ice cream. Service is great. When up at the lake…read moreit is always one of our favorite stops.

We come up to this area every year, and this is a must-have spot! We make special trips into town…read morefor this ice cream! This year, there is a lemon bar ice cream... which is incredible, peanut butter and chocolate for lessy fruity flavors, and raspberry/lemon sorbet for people with dairy limitations. The staff are always super friendly and helpful. The lines move fast, and the prices are super affordable. They do take credit cards with a 4% fee, so cash or check is preferred - totally makes sense for a smaller town. I love this place!

The breakfast sandwich and their scones were amazing! And the coffee was great! And the people…read moreworking were so nice! Anytime I'm around the area I'll definitely come back it was a great experience! I will say the parking is a little tricky because everyone else seems to love it too so you have to try and find a parking spot but it's so worth it!!

Such a cute spot to get your caffeine fix when you find yourself in Longville!…read more ++ The menu offers up all your favorite coffee shop favorites! ++ I opted for a vanilla latte, and it was simply delicious. ++ There's outdoor seating both on a patio out front and at tables scattered throughout the garden in the back. Love it! ++ All the staff were super friendly and welcoming. What more do you need? I can def say that next time I venture to northern Minnesota, I will gladly make my way back to Common Grounds.

This store has it all for gifts or taking your cabin up north adventure up a level. Liquor store too and lots of mixing and did I say gifts and t shirts.

If you're a parent bringing a child here, be warned there is a heavy amount of inappropriately…read morethemed items for sale, such as cards with penis jokes and signs with swear words, all at the eye level of a little one. Ice cream stores are geared towards children so it's disturbing that this one thinks these types of items are ok to have on display. I will not bring my children here again. High wheel is down the road and super kid friendly.

Had a 16oz latte - was good - nice and smooth. My wife said the iced mocha was very good as well…read more Service was good too and it has an outdoor area to relax (indoor seating too with games and what not). The candy selection looked good too and they have sandwiches.

FANTASTIC! I am always searching for great ice cream, and it isn't easy to find, not to sweet,…read morecreamy, and flavors that I love! I have found it. Black raspberry is my most favorite ice cream flavor. I ordered the black raspberry chunk and was so very pleased with the flavor. I look forward to trying other flavors this summer. I was at farmer's market and gave it a try.

Ice cream. Ice cream. Ice cream!!!!!!!…read more There is nothing like being on vacation and finding a local ice cream shop in a small town. Love the small town feel. It is right on the main road through town, you cant miss it. We parked out front and there is outdoor seating under the overhang of the building. You step inside and there is tables and seating but the service counter is set in an "L" shape. Malt shoppe vibes as you start at the one end of the counter and start to drool over all the options. Multiple people behind the ice cream counter. We asked opions and were even able to try a couple flavors. Our group of 6 adults and 2 kids was quickly and happily addressed. Everyone got everything they wanted. Most got the waffle cones. They even split a single scoops worth of ice cream into 2 flavors for me. You round the counter and pay. There are hot meal options on the menu. There is take out or order in. There is a lot going on in this little place. We sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful weather. Worth the stop, worth the money, worth the smiles.

Stopped here while visiting family and was pleasantly surprised by the food and the vibes of the…read moreIron Waffle. The parking lot was packed and despite a rainy day, the wraparound porch was filled as well. The eclectic table and chairs outside made the place feel even more comforting than the surroundings the restaurant sat in. With some chicken and waffles, a monte sandwich, and the goat cheese and honey waffle. All of them were tasty, but if I had one issue the food is that the amount of syrup and honey was almost cloyingly sweet. Would I go back next time I'm in town? You betcha!

Went to just get coffees this time as we enjoyed it so much last time. Two other people were eating…read morealready and we ordered 3 coffees drinks to go. Took 15 minutes to get our drinks. The drinks were delicious but not sure if it was worth the wait. Did take a picture of the menu for others to see what is available.

A woman came up right after us and was shocked that they were closed as well. It was her birthday and she was coming to get a hot fudge sundae.

I don't have room for racists in my neighborhood.

The Chocolate Ox in Nisswa is such a fun little stop, especially if you have kids. The shop is…read morepacked with candy, toys, Jellycat animals, and so many colorful things to look at that it almost feels like stepping into a candy wonderland. The ice cream itself was good, though the flavor selection was a bit smaller than we expected. We also wish they offered a smaller child-sized scoop since the standard scoops are pretty large at around $5 each. Still, the atmosphere was cheerful and memorable, and it's definitely the kind of place we'd visit again on a future trip to Nisswa.
