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.

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.

We went here after an early dinner in the area. We had seen something in the news that morning…read morethat it was one of three Minnesota ice cream shops that were competing in some national best ice cream competition. We were planning to to have dinner in the area anyway, we may as well try it out. It's basically a stand in a parking lot with like a strip mall next-door. There's plenty of outside seats and parking. There was no line when we got there at 5:30 on a 90° day. They only do soft serve ice cream so we got vanilla dip, vanilla sprinkle, and an orange dip cone. The chocolate dip did not taste very chocolatey, so I took it off as it was not worth the calories. The ice cream was melting fast, but the chocolate shell did not melt at all and kept its form to the end. Not sure what is in it that made it not melt. The soft serve itself was just OK. It wasn't very creamy or tasty, but it was cold and served its purpose on a hot day.

Both of them had huge portions and loved their treats. There were at least 10 flavors of soft serve plus numerous toppings from peanut butter to gummy frogs to boba to fresh raspberries. Absolutely something for every taste! Rather have hard ice cream? No problem! That is also a choice with a dozen flavors to choose from. Finally they have gourmet popcorn (or just regular too if fancy isn't your thing!). No scales to weigh your purchase on. You just pay by cup size! The cashier was the sweetest gal! I was trying to clean up the mess my party was making and she wouldn't have it! She told me to sit and enjoy while she took over where I had been cleaning. After our treats, we played a few games.

The place was quiet, even though there were about a dozen other people in the shop. The tables were clean. There's even some board games out that you can play with. Seemed to be a popular little spot as about half a dozen other people went in as we were leaving, as we made sure to leave before closing time - unless the online hours are off.

Many flavoring options to pick from as well. It's a cute space that's bright and seating options on both sides. The gal helping me was friendly and upbeat.

The ONLY reason I put it at 4 stars was due to the excessive garlic chunks on the wings. This was, personally, a lot of garlic for me. If you love garlic, these wings are absolutely perfect! The wings and the other flavors were still really good and I'd love to try their wontons and dumplings. A couple of folks from our group ordered those and they went quickly!!
