Sebastian Joe's Ice Cream Cafe

With two locations and nearly 200 flavors, scoop shop Sebastian Joe’s has become a Minneapolis dessert icon. Definitely get one of the signature flavors that are always available, like raspberry chocolate chip, Pavorotti (vanilla ice cream with caramel, bananas, and chocolate chips), or Nicollet Avenue Pothole (chocolate ice cream loaded with caramel, Heath chunks, fudge, and sea salt).

The homemade waffle cones dipped in chocolate and sprinkles are serotonin in edible form. In the summertime, grab a seat on the patio and watch kids climb on the tortoise statue—in the winter, warm up by the fireplace with an affogato.
