Ben Neumann has been around for about 10 years. If you love a variety of pies this is your place…read more My favorites are the thaw and serve and many have a pretzel crust or a cookie crust. Most are seasonal and I'm glad it's fruit pie time. I recently got the Margarita pie. Two of us go through it in 3 days. Nothing better to do than eat pie all weekend, especially these. My other favorite is the tiger striped chocolate cream. He does savory and also hand pies if you want to sample or eat it on the spot. He started a variety of ice creams, too. All your ordering is on line then you arrange a pick up time. So get on the list. He has set up his garage for all the sales. If you ever want a pie in your face, better hope it's from here.

With that in mind, it is a pleasant surprise that this is such a homey, welcoming-feeling ice cream joint. The ice cream I got was truly amazing; I got a double-dip with Peanut Butter Swirl and brownie-something. Super good combination, and I wound up getting a pint of the Peanut Butter swirl to take home. It had such strong peanut flavor and aroma, I'm really impressed! They also serve 1919 root beer on tap which is awesome. Apparently it's all homemade ice cream, and it certainly has that flavor to it in the most positive way. I am going to be sad when my pint of Peanut Butter Swirl is depleted. I will return for more, no question.

In-house creamery, on-site made ice cream - 5 stars!…read more If any of you have read my reviews of ice cream shops, you know that I love dairy and I love, love, love in-house craft ice cream! You really can't beat the quality. And you can definitely taste the difference. This isn't mass produced Kemps or Cedar Crest factory ice cream - it's the real deal. I checked out Big Dipper after grabbing some sushi nearby. I stumbled across them while driving out of the big mall area. I'm glad I was paying attention. What a find! I ordered a cup of chocolate peanut butter ice cream. Yum! I'm jealous that I don't have a creamery near my home in the Anoka area. Thumbs up! -Maxx

She looked very annoyed at being called and that made us feel uncomfortable. I asked if they had sample cups to try flavors. She said no. She also said "I don't know what to tell ya" when I asked how do we know which flavor to buy if I've never had. For context, I'm accustom to being provided sample cups or tasters of the special flavors at ALL other ice cream and froyo palors I wanted to try something new but this place doesn't offer samples like other parlors. I decided not to try them. My friend did try it and said it wasn't good. The flavors are mild tasty like sugary water. The attendant was rude AND the froyo was terrible. Not for me.

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.

Great space for a meeting or to change up your view on a remote job.

All the workers are really friendly as well and it's very colorful inside. The place is upbeat and fun. I've never bought anything else from here but I come back every time I want ice cream!!

I paid 10$ for 4 decent size cream cheese wontons. I'm not upset about the price but what I was upset about was when I got my cream cheese wontons, the inside was cold. They were cooked and crispy on the outside but it was as if they had been sitting on a counter for 20 minutes. When I had been ordered I saw a heating lamp. So my guess was they had been sitting under the heating lamp for a while. I just wish I could have had fresh and hot cream cheese wontons. Next time this truck wouldn't be my first choice but I know everyone makes mistakes. So I would definitely consider coming back and giving them another chance.
