Great service and even better Ice Cream. I have been here a couple of times. I have experienced helpful employees and the Ice Creams have tasted so good. I am a vegan so it is not always an option for me to join friends for Ice Cream. They have rotating vegan options to choose from. So the next visit it may not be the one you had on your last visit.

The ice cream was really good! The pistachio and black cherry were super yummy and had lot of actual nut/fruit in them. Gotta love a local business with handmade products, go give them some support! They have indoor/outdoor seating and a drive thru!

Love this place! I highly recommend the coffee flavored ice cream and the Lavender! I was a bit nervous about Lavender as it’s easy to get too much in a recipe and then it tastes like soap but this was spot on for me, nice and subtle. It has that ability to tease the taste buds while feeling like a nice light palette cleanser at the same time. It pairs very well with the coffee flavorStaff members are all friendly and greet you with smiles. And the jokes on the walls and tables are hilarious! And most of all the story behind this business is heartwarming!

Visiting town and was told by word of mouth to visit here. Got Pumpkin Salted Carmel. It was fantastic.

Local premium handmade, made on site ice cream shoppe offering a smooth, wide variety of ice cream, malts and shakes, cakes and pies. Even the waffle cones are made to order. Small shoppe reflect their popularity by the lines inside and outside drive thru and a number of flavors that had run out of. But we were not to be detoured, but pressed on coming away with yet another fav flavor we enjoyed. The young man running the window was friendly and promptly got us our sugar fix and we were soon enjoying our sweet treat. Two baseball size scoops of cookies and cream and rocky road in a waffle cone. Nothing beats the heat of summer than the cold taste of ice cream. #philoffoodreviews

Great ice cream with a variety of standard and unique flavors! Love the mini sugar cone sails. Portions are on the larger size and prices are fair. If you like cookies and cream definitely try the Cookie Monster!

Ill start with saying that Flapdoodles makes the best ice cream in MN, credit where credit is due on that aspect. And theyre always friendly and polite at both locations. The reason for my 3-star rating is the fact that every time I go there (been there 4 times the past 30 days), there are 4 people standing and chatting, with 2 people scooping ice cream and making shakes, while 4 or 5 customers stand there waiting for their carry out orders or to pick their flavor.. (no exaggeration, most recent visit to the North store, there were 5 employees standing with their arms crossed, chatting and laughing in the drive thru, while 2 others were handling the 8 customers and I was standing at the register ready to go with another customer next to me, commenting on how to get their attention)The South side location on the other hand,, is ALWAYS working hard. Every time I visit that location, everyone there is working on something and helping someone or asking if anyone has a question or is ready to order... not chatting and ignoring customers. They get a 5 star rating for sure.Ive worked as a manager in customer service and retail for 10 years, so its important that this kind of feedback is provided. I love you guys, but the worst thing you can do, is stand around chatting while customers are waiting, so I felt it necessary to leave this feedback. You need to be consciously aware of all your customers, and actively asking if anyone needs help or is ready to order/checkout, especially when you have a store full of them.

Unfortunately they do not give samples, so you cannot see ahead of your purchase if you will like the flavor you chose. There is a big selection though. They even have two dairy free options. The flavors that we selected were very good. Overall, we were very satisfied with our experience!

Review №34

Perhaps whats so appealing about Flapdoodles is the variety of flavors. And although their menu options change periodically, favorites like Cookie Monster and Cake Batter are faithfully stable.The aroma of waffle cones welcomes you as you enter the door and Im delighted they have now added gluten free as well.The menu still remains a bit overwhelming and the prices are quite high. But for a fun, special dessert date, this is a unique place to go.

It was really good! We were on a road trip and stopped in on the way out of town. The scoops eye huge! If I had known how big they were going to be I would have just gotten one. The blueberry cheesecake and strawberry were winners in my book for sure.#OmahaFattie

I went to the north Flapdoodles yesterday with my sister. We were wearing our face masks under our noses and as we were ordering, another worker interrupted very rudely, shouting at us that we must wear our face mask over our nose or we would have to leave. We slipped them back over our noses and tried to continue ordering while she continued hollering in a rage as though we hadnt complied. The whole place, people eating, and those in the line behind us watched in stunned silence. She finally went back to work and her mask slipped below her nose. (No, we didnt bring it to her attention). When I left, she rudely repeated her command, for next time. Sadly, there wont be a next time, for me, my sister, and two others in line who voiced their disgust once outside. In all her noise, my server got one of my ice cream flavors wrong. I didnt notice until I was out the door and had no desire to return and make it right. I have seen this girl be rude before. Another customer told us they saw her get angry at a customer for messing up their stack of tee shirts while looking for the correct size. She is forceful and aggressive and has very poor customer service, definitely not a good fit for a happy ice cream shop. My only regret is that I didnt walked out the door in the middle of my order. At least four people who witnessed this will not be back. I can find good ice cream at other places that know what good customer service is. It was a terrible experience.

Yum! The best ice cream flavors. Love the drive through and order ahead. A little confusing to order the special flavors at first and worth the effort. Birthday Cake is a personal favorite along with Rocky Road, Smores and Captain Jackds Delight. Be sure to check out seasonal flavors like pumpkin in Fall. Theres a reason theres always a line here

We are new in town and our first visit was such a fun time! We are glad that they even had dairy free options. They were very helpful; my only hold up is my confusion regarding the ordering process/menu. There are different size options and different serving options within those size options that confused us a bit.
