I went here with some family members (one of whom is gluten-free) yesterday. We appreciate that the ice cream is gluten-free by default unless noted! The flavor selection ("periodic table") is always kind of limited but it's a small location with not that many spots for flavors. I got the basil ice cream, which had that flavor note that you only ever get with fresh-from-the-garden basil. The location is also really good as it's walking distance from my family's place and the 50th and France area is pleasant to take a stroll around with your ice cream. read more

Decided to come here on a date night after dinner and this place was delightful! There is a large free parking ramp next to this place! If you walk from the parking ramp, down to Bellecour Cafe and look straight across the street, you will see this place! The vibes in here are honestly lacking and the only reason I dropped a star. There is very little seating, so expect to take your ice cream to go. In the summer, that's not a problem as there is ample seating outside! But during the cooler months, there is only one table and a couple of small benches. Everything here is also white and with a name like "sweet science" I was expecting more "science stuff" The staff here was absolutely lovely!! Very polite and super friendly! You are allowed to try samples and these gals seemed to be having fun with their job! Down to business: The ice cream was DELICIOUS! I am lactose intolerant, so having some vegan (dairy free) options was great! It looks like they use cashew milk for most of those bases. I hate cashews but this didn't taste like cashews at all! I got the vanilla chocolate chip and it was creamy, perfect vanilla and the chocolate chips added a very nice texture! Would highly recommend!! My boyfriend got a mint ice cream with cookie dough pieces and a marshmallow fluff that they torched! Very good! He was extremely impressed! I would absolutely recommend this place! read more

We were having drinks nearby and when walking back to our car, decided we needed a little ice cream to finish off the night! The best part about this area is the free ramp parking. A quick walk over to this small shop. The space isn't necessarily for hanging out, but it's clean and modern. Perfect to grab and go for a stroll around the 50th and France shoppes. The staff was incredibly friendly and positive, when when we showed up right before closing. The ice cream was perfect! Creamy and dreamy, not icy at all! I had their Coffee and Cookie flavor, which had a strong, pleasantly bitter coffee taste, balanced perfectly with cream and cookie bits. A lovely scoop for sure! read more

Delicious ice cream with fun flavors! Ice cream is smooth and creamy. Service was fast and friendly, and it is clean inside. There are pints available to purchase to-go. There is very limited seating inside, but during warm months there are a ton of tables outside. There is free parking available in ramps nearby. I didn't love the base of the Rhubarb Cinnamon Almond, but I really enjoyed the Berry Crumble. The Basil is delicious but a large scoop can be too much. read more

Pretty good ice cream, and unique flavors! It was cool to hear the backstory of the owner being into food science themselves. The theming is cute, and had me curious on why they use periodic table elements! I got Strawberry Matcha, which was a limited flavor! It tasted very fresh, and it was a great little scoop! There isn't much seating, so take note of that before you stop by here! read more

Sweet Science Ice Cream - Strawberry Matcha! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Edina, Minnesota

Minneapolis has a ton of great ice cream emporiums. Maybe the arctic conditions encourage ideas about frozen treats. Who knows? Sweet Science's offerings are unique, though. The woman who created and runs Sweet Science comes from an academic background and used her skills to produce an all natural, creamy, ice cream that almost has the texture of custard. Yet, Sweet Science is pure ice cream and doesn't use the same methodology as custard. The Sweet Science flavors explode in your mouth, and we discovered cones only smother the taste explosion. The ice cream should be tasted in its purest form. The shop in Edina is close to everything else at 50th and France, and you can multi-task while enjoying Sweet Science. Service was helpful, but not particular warm. Laughter isn't contagious in Minneapolis. However, Sweet Science has fantastic ice cream. read more

I've always wanted to try the local Sweet Science ice cream and see it stocked in stores but have never had the chance to dig in so when we searched for a dessert to close out our date night I was pumped it was only a 4 min walk away! The server helping us was so patient as we tried samples and was so sweet in asking how we were doing, how the weather is, and if we were enjoying our day. I ended up getting the blood orange cream and it was absolutely incredible! Close second choice was vanilla mint fudge but I'm not a huge fudge girl so had to pass. The blood orange cream was the perfect mix of the two flavors that complimented each other well without being too tart or too sweet. I got it in a sugar cone and it was just the absolute best! read more

I love ice cream & recognized the scoops wall from Keg & Case. The flavors here are pretty unique which I love. We went on a Sunday afternoon & it wasn't too busy in this area. They had plenty of flavors to offer. I got the almond toffee ganache and sweet corn blueberry in a cup. Both flavors were really good. Love that they use all natural ingredients. They don't have much seating inside but there's a ton of seating outside & they had live music when we went which was nice. There's parking ramps nearby which makes it easy to visit. read more

After a day swimming we needed some ice cream and Sweet Science looked like a fun spot to test out with some fun flavor options. We sampled a few flavors and the whole family decided we all had to have our own scoop of the hazelnut brownie. My wife and I split flavors on a single scoop and got the rhubarb flavor and almond toffee ganache. Everything was great. The waffle cone was quite tasty as well. One thing that is especially nice about this location is the courtyard just outside which offers a nice place to enjoy the delicious ice cream. It also looked like occasionally there are some family themed events to take advantage of in the courtyard. We will be back for sure. read more

Sweet Science is the perfect post-dinner stop if you're in the 50th and France area. They have a ton of gluten free and dairy free options, plus lots of seasonal flavors with really fun, unexpected ingredients. My favorite is the black sesame. It's rich, nutty, slightly earthy, and just sweet enough. If you like flavors that are a little more grown-up and interesting, it's a must. Parking can be a bit tricky, but it's easy to park in the ramp and walk over, so it's not a huge deal. The staff are very friendly and welcoming, and the shop is really clean. There's some seating inside, but there are plenty of spots outside where you can sit and enjoy your ice cream. Such a great local ice cream shop with thoughtful flavors and a fun neighborhood vibe. read more

One of our favorite places in Edina! Very central since it's at 50th and France. Whether we eat at Paul's Supper Club or The Lynhall, this is our dessert place! Friendly staff and many flavors to try even ones you haven't dreamed would be delicious! Yea, they have the traditional flavors but why not be adventurous and try an unexpected flavor! Truly a very casual way to enjoy ice cream! They even have an IG wall! read more

Stopped in after dinner with my family and had a wonderful experience. The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable of all the different flavors. I love that their ice cream is made with all natural and locally sourced ingredients. They make all of their small batches by hand in their St.Paul kitchen. So cool! read more

Wonderful ice cream flavors! Was very conflicted but after tasting a couple ended up choosing hazelnut brownie and betty crumble, which didn't necessarily go together well but each on their own were the best flavors I tried. Brownie bits were delish and berry compote/crumble topping was fabulous read more

We've been fans of Sweet Science Ice Cream from their beginning. I remember when they were first getting started, they would hold these free tasting events at various locations around the cities. Essentially there would be 10-15 stations. People would line up and then walk through that line. You then had the option to taste the ice cream or move onto the next table. This was all free. Free ice cream! The only regret I have is I didn't think about the idea of getting back in line again until now. Currently they have way more than 10-15 flavors. They have seasonal flavors and new flavors monthly. From traditional flavors to flavors with goat cheese, beer and even corn, We love their peppermint bark however we really love their snickerdoodle. Visit their store or purchase at some local grocery stores. This is some really good ice cream. read more

We stopped here for ice cream and were very impressed! The guy behind the counter was really friendly, knowledgeable, and patient! He offered us samples and didn't make us feel rushed whatsoever. I got a scoop of sugar cookie which was pretty good, but the other scoop I got was banana caramel blondie. I don't even usually order banana, but this was easily some of the best ice cream I have ever had. HIGHLY recommend!! I didn't get a picture with the cup full since I dug in so fast lol read more

Been wanting to try this place forever, and it did not disappoint! We came on a Tuesday around 7, and there was a decent line but it was worth it. Most of the flavors are unique and different, but they do have the basics also. We had all of the seasonal flavors (smores, apple crisp, oatmeal cookie, chai tea) plus cookies and cream. They were amazing!! Some of the best ice cream I've ever had. The flavor is fresh, intense, and real - no artificial taste. The price reflects that, being it was a $18 ice cream flight, but I still think it is worth it for a fun treat :) Ps- get the Carmel apple crisp!!! We got a pint to take home it was so delicious. read more

Unmatched in terms of Ice cream in this area! The flavors are so unique. I never thought I'd try corn flavored ice cream but ended up getting a cone to go They cycle through their flavors every once in a while so things never get stale! read more

The ice cream itself was delicious! I tried two seasonal flavors, the strawberry mascarpone and pineapple passion fruit sorbet. I like the fruity flavors more than chocolatey, but my friend really enjoyed the coffee toffee. The people working behind the counter were also very friendly and sweet. If anything the ice cream scoop was a little pricey, but the pints would have been cheaper. read more

Kicking myself for not stopping here earlier! We came for a sweet treat after a birthday dinner, and we both agreed it's some of the best ice cream we've had in the Twin Cities. Things to know: - Almost ALL of their flavors are gluten-free! - A variety of signature staples, revolving flavors, and seasonal flavors - The shop is small, with a few benches and one table for seating - plan to take it out and walk - It's tucked away in a walking-only area of 50th and France - park in the parking ramp and enter near Mr. Paul's We had such a hard time choosing flavors - they were all so creative and sounded delicious! As a gluten-free girly, I was shocked and impressed to see flavors like cookies & cream and brownie offered GF. Prices are pretty typical - and honestly for the quality and flavor, it's worth it. The staff member onsite when we visited was so kind and helpful - she was clearly enthusiastic about the flavors and had tried them so she could give accurate recommendations. We opted for: cayenne caramel brownie almond toffee ganache peanut butter chocolate cookie milk and cookies and loved each one! Can't recommend this spot enough. read more

Very nice ice cream shop tucked in Nolan Mains at 50th and France. They use fresh and local ingredients all the ice cream is always good. They've got 4-5 flavors that rotate monthly to reflect any holidays or the season. Everyone has always been super friendly and willing to answer questions or give samples. The shop is tiny with only a few seats so plan to sit outside or take it to go. Their waffle cones are made fresh right behind the register and are some of the best I've ever had. Highly recommend trying them out. read more

I forgot to take pictures of our icecream. We came around 5 maybe and there were hardly any people in the vicinity, and it was on a Tuesday. It was kind of hidden, you have to park and walk. I got the rhubarb and the apple crisp in a waffle cone. The waffle cone was not good, hands down the worst waffle cone I've ever had and I absolutely love waffle cones. It was wayyyy to salty and kind of burnt? The apple crisp icecream was also kind of salty, and was more butter flavor in my opinion. The rhubarb was pretty good, but doesn't combine well with the salty apple crisp. The lady was sweet at first, I tried maybe 5 flavors total, only the ones I'd never seen before, and by the second one hee attitude was one of annoyance. You could see it all on her face. When I asked to taste the rhubarb I immediately said yea I'll have that one, and her response was "okay, which one?" With annoyance in her voice...maybe the one I literally just ate off the spoon? Lol she has the wrong temperament to be working in an ice cream shop. read more

Yum yum yum. Some of THE most flavorful ice cream, and their mission is deeply committed to good ingredients. And it shows in the quality of the food, the quality of their team, and the quality of the experience as a whole. They've got little to-go containers of ice cream, and have a rotating selection of flavors. Although they don't have indoor seating, this cute little spot is tucked right next to a public seating area with a nice water feature. Easily the best ice cream I've ever had. read more

The aesthetic of this ice cream shot was on point for how big their space was. Loved that they had seasonal, signature and revolving flavors. Makes it so they have people coming back. Also loved that they had a collaboration flavor with Five Watt Coffee. They had so many flavors that it was perfect that they sold flights of ice cream. Now for what people want to hear about. The review of the flavors I did get. Berry Crumble - loved the cookie pieces in the ice cream, the berries in it tasted fresh but they do get stuck in your teeth like when you eat blackberries and raspberries. The favor was pretty solid. 4/5 Hazelnut Brownie - the hazelnut flavored ice cream was very good. The brownie was nice with every other bite. If it had peanut pieces in it. I would've been even better but then it would've been a Ferrero Rocher 4/5 Five Watt Coffee - if you love coffee ice cream this one was nice and creamy and the coffee flavor was on point. But it go old real fast for me. 4/5 Cayenne Caramel Brownie - your typical caramel brownie ice cream but with a little kick from the cayenne which is a nice little twist in ice cream. 4/5 Stracciatella - I've always loved me a good Stracciatella, and this was it. The twist they had with it adding black raspberry in it was a chef's kiss. 4.5/5 read more

First time visiting here and they have quite the selection of ice creams. My husband and I decided to sample a few before selecting what ice creams we wanted to share together since we did a big bowl 2-scoop. We went with Rhubarb Cinnamon Almond and Caramel Apple Cider Crisp. The first was an 8/10 because there wasn't ribbons of flavor throughout it. I found that I was often eating just vanilla without any of the flavors mixed in so definitely could have been mixed better. The latter was a 10/10, so freaking good! I appreciated how it actually tasted like an apple crisp with lots of "crisp" chunks and ribbons of caramel throughout. This flavor I'd get again and again hands down. This business is in a prime location as well. Fun to visit here if you take a stroll in the area and then want a sweet treat after. I can imagine the line being long to order at times, when we came it was out the door and there was only 10 minutes until close. So limited space inside and long lines could make some folks not try this but I encourage you to give this yummy shop a try. They even have a spoon photo op wall which is quite fun! read more

Some of the best ice cream I think I've ever had. They have a rotating panel of flavors and it's beautiful and clean inside. You can also buy a flight (probably to share) and pints! The price is no joke, but frankly it's worth it and it's inline with other places nearby. Our favorite was the Salted Caramel. I also loved the Spicy Brownie Caramel flavor (I've probably got the name slightly wrong.) read more

Delicious Ice cream bar. All natural and you can seriously taste the ingredients in the flavors. Our kids are pretty much the vanilla and chocolate type of kiddos, however they loved all the flavors we chose them! Even the sherbet. We are going to have to return to try the Horchata and the cinnamon honey next! Awesome customer service as well! Thanks again! read more

We actually go to Sweet Science pretty regularly, as it has become our favorite Ice Cream stop in the Twin Cities. Located in the shopping complex around 50th street and France Avenue in Edina, this place has the best ice cream I've ever tasted!!! I know this is slightly sacrilegious, as I'm from Wisconsin, but the flavors are well thought out and really pop. The first flavor that I ever had was the Apple Cider Crumble and I was hooked. It's seasonal, but since it's fall come check it out! The best part is that almost all the flavors are Gluten Free, which is really awesome since one of my daughter's and I have Celiac's Disease. They list all the flavors in a periodic table format, which is clever and fun, and only a handful of flavors have gluten, nuts, etc., so this place is very friendly for people with food allergies. On this particular trip (with the pictures I posted), we got the Pineapple, Passion Fruit, Mango Sorbet, which had the most fresh and beautifully sharp taste I've ever experienced with Ice Cream. My other daughter (with Celiac's) loves the combination of Berry Crumble on the bottom and Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookie on top, both within their tasty Gluten-Free Waffle Cone. I love the sharpness of Rhubarb, so went with the Rhubarb-Cinnamon-Almond and was NOT disappointed. I was flying solo this trip, so was having some trouble wrangling all the cones and dishes, when one of the workers offered to help me carry the ice cream to my car. While I stubbornly carried on, as ridiculous dads do, they were super sweet to offer. The staff is always super friendly and patient, as one simply has to try the flavors first... :) Another Wisconsin fail that I have is that I don't even really like ice cream that much, but if the fam wants to head to Sweet Science I'm ALL IN!!! If you're in the mood for ice cream and / or need to refresh yourself from some intense Edina shopping, I HIGHLY recommend stopping by Sweet Science! read more

This place was great! A little hidden because it's off the street in an ally but a cute location. The ice cream is INSANE! I tried 2 flavors. The pineapple Passionfruit sorbet, and the sweet corn blueberry flavor. The sweet corn one was my favorite! It was amazing. I didn't know corn ice cream could be so refreshing. Not too sweet and the hint of blueberry added complex flavor, perfection. If you are going to this place you need to get this flavor. It's seasonal though so get it soon! The pineapple passion fruit one was tart and sweet! The perfect texture soft and icy. Great flavor also. The workers were very nice. As my friends know I'm a very indecisive person. The workers were very kind about me tasting lots of samples and letting me find what I like. The place is very wholesome has regulars who come and the workers love it! I would recommend this place for anyone in the area! read more

Yummy!! I have the biggest sweet tooth and found out that there is an actual storefront for this! I've never actually tasted a single flavor before, but I've heard the term "Sweet Science" for awhile now! The storefront is pretty small and really more of like a take-and-go type of place. They have their signature flavors and their seasonal flavors and are currently offering samples if you wanted to taste before you buy! My group all got different flavors to try out and I ended up picking sweet corn blueberry to try! I love anything corn so I thought why not! The flavor is different than what I had imagined but not a bad flavor. It tasted like blended up cream of corn with blueberry syrup mixed throughout. The texture was very nice and creamy. I enjoyed my Lil Guy scoop of it but would probably not try again. Other flavors that I tried were: passion fruit and almond toffee ganache. The passion fruit flavor was super delicious and different! I liked the tartness but also the creaminess of it all. Almond toffee ganache will be the reason for my return. It was soo good and had bits of toffee mixed throughout. I appreciate how smooth and creamy all of the ice cream picks were and definitely love the unique flavors here! Can't wait to come back! read more

Dear sweet science, you guys have changed my standards for what ice cream should taste like. The second I saw your periodic table like ice cream menu. I was amazed at the creative flavors I didn't even know could be made. my two favorite ice creams are caramel banana Blondie, which is only a winter season flavor and ashley's birthday cake which also has a hint of banana in it. these bad reviews are tripping. No ice cream has ever tasted good after having sweet science. read more

Spring sunshine finally popping out inspired us to visit today and we will definitely be back! Such a fun concept, the menu is set up like a periodic table with rotating seasonal flavors. We decided to try a flight of five because we couldn't choose just one. Of the five flavors, my favorite was definitely the Coffee Caramel Cookie - such strong coffee flavor! We lucked out and they had a flavor we wanted to try in their freezer for to go, the dragon fruit lemonade sorbet. It is one of their February flavors and it is so perfectly tart, bright pink, and studded with little seeds - Perfection! The space is a bit small for dine in, but very clean and the staff were friendly and patient while we chose our flavors. This spot is definitely going to be a popular stop in the warmer months! It is located in a really cute area with a ton of shops and other restaurants on 50th and France. Perfect for a summer stroll :) Free parking across the street was a nice bonus! read more

If you're in the Edina area then this place is a must try!!

We parked in the free parking ramp across the street from the ice cream shop. They had a sign on the sidewalk that was easy to spot directing us to the door. When we entered, the 2 women working behind the counter were very friendly and offered samples and explained each flavor in detail. I was able to request 2 different flavors in one dish (cookies & cream and salted caramel) and it was fabulous. In addition there was a wall with ice cream scoops that made for a fun photo op! They do not have seating in the store, but there is a nice patio area outside. They open at 4pm during the week and 11am on Saturdays. read more
