“ This place is an excellent little spot to get some ice cream. It is in a refurbished DQ location but has a quirky and chill attitude. They have an outdoor seating pavilion. They serve ice cream, frappes, As well as grab and go sandwiches, tacos and tamales. I got a basic chocolate shake and it was good. This place is a cool little quiet neighborhood gem. ”
“ Everyone in the shop was so kind, prices are solid, and the ice cream was awesome! Icy Cup is a really lowkey ice cream shop, that also serves a pretty big list of classic grab and go foods. I just had the churro sunday, and it was great!! I watched them make the churro fresh after I ordered it!! ”
“ Still a great place that I am happy to see to have survived the pandemic. The staff are friendly and quick to serve. We got a cone with a cup and a chocolate dipped cone. Unfortunately, the ice cream was super soft, so we had to eat really quickly to stave off disaster. Not sure if it was the hot temp outside or they didn't make the soft serve less soft. Either way, it was delicious. I noticed that they have food, including tamales, on their menu. I will see about trying the tamales at another visit. This is a great neighborhood gem that gets you cool on a hot day. ”
“ My first time at this place and it was great! The smoothie I got definitely tasted like fresh fruit. I would recommend going here. ”
“ This place is so cute and they have a surprisingly large menu! In addition to ice cream (blizzards, sundaes, cones, slushees, etc), they have a tons of coffee drinks, and a full food menu (burgers, tacos, tamales, fries, etc!). We got a churro sundae, cookie dough blizzard, and brownie blizzard. They were all super delicious and were reasonably priced. The service was speedy and friendly. They have a pretty spacious covered patio to eat under. Will definitely be coming back! ”
“ I love walking over to the Icy Cup. Friendly staff. Good local icecream place. Cute farmer's Markey on Saturday mornings and a neighborhood jam session every Tuesday in July. ”
“ A family owned business doing it right. I'm drooling. Churro sundae with warm churros and caramel (basically dulce de leche bomb). My bf got the cookie dough blast - the classic chocolate chip cookie dough flavor we have been craving for ages. ”
“ Food: We stopped in once to get an ice cream and were surprised to find a favorite new spot. The food is shockingly delicious; we love the tamales and French fries. Their ice cream is also great! Their prices are also extremely low. Venue: This is the cutest little neighborhood nook ever. There is a small parking lot and a covered seating area. They also have a Farmer's Market on the weekend. COVID Friendliness: You walk inside one door and out the other and only one group is allowed inside at a time! ”
“ They're still open during the pandemic and serving up delicious ice cream. I got the strawberry cheesecake mix in. There's strawberry ice cream and real chunks of cheesecake in it. Plenty of outdoor seating and off street parking. I enjoyed my ice cream in my air conditioned car lol. ”
“ Walked down to Icy Cup for a treat on this hot Minnesota summer day. You walk inside to order, and right now the number of people allowed inside at once is limited. Inside one door and exit out the other. We got an order of beef tacos, fries, and 2 churro sundaes and took our goodies out to the patio to eat. The fries were so good and crisp, the tacos had big chunks of beef and were excellent, but the star of the show were the sundaes. Loads of caramel at the bottom, vanilla ice cream, and 2 cinnamon sugar covered warm churros stuck right in. I would get that sundae again and again. Can't wait to come back and try the Affogato. They also have burgers, chicken strips, tamales...so much to choose from. Not to mention all the coffee beverages. Such friendly service and awesome food. Icy Cup is a wonderful neighborhood gem. ”
