Grand Ole Creamery offers some of the best ice cream in the country according to the National City Search Best Places for Ice Cream in the Nation.  It was also voted Best Ice Cream in the Twin Cities by Mpls/ St. Paul Magazine.

Stop inside Grand Ole Creamery for a scoop of Black Hills Gold, Sweet Cream, Triple Berry Flake,  or any of their thirty-one ( and counting ) flavors of ice cream!  My favorite – Chocolate Malt Banana.  Their flavors range daily, so if you don’t see the specific flavor you’ve craved all day, they are sure to have a least one to please your aching taste buds!  Taste as many samples as you want, until you find the right one.

When you arrive, don’t be surprised if the line is out the door – and literally down the street!  People are willing to wait 30 minutes in line,  just to get a hand-rolled waffle cone and their favorite flavor of homemade ice cream.  Once you enter the doors, you immediately breath in the smell of freshly made waffle cones.  You can choose an original waffle cone or you can get it adorned with flavors such as Cinnabun or Birthday Cake.  A small cup or cone will cost you around $4.00, and if you want a large waffle cone (complete with a whopper on the bottom), it will put you back about $5.25.

Along with the scoops of ice cream, there are also sundaes and malts on the menu as well.  Celebrating a birthday party?  There are ice cream cakes too!  And a new item on their menu — ice cream pizza.  Cakes range from $21-40 and pies will cost you $16.

If ice cream is your thing, another great option is Izzy’s! Izzy’s has 32 flavors of  homemade artisan ice cream that rotates daily.  If you don’t want to be dissapointed by your favorite flavor not being there, no fear – Flavor Up is here!  Flavor Up allows you to see every 3 minutes, what flavors are available to you.  Who knew an ice cream shop could be so high tech!

Cupcake lover? Izzy’s makes ice cream cupcakes for $4.20 or $3 when you buy 4 or more – what a deal!  Izzy’s also offers different flavors of ice cream made with soy for the lactose intolerant ice cream fanatics.

Visit one or visit both – you won’t be disappointed!
