Best of
the Twin Cities
They’ve been in the biz since 1984, and yet, family-owned ice cream cafe Sebastian Joe’s offers more—five times more—flavors than years they’ve been around. Kicking it with present-day hipster requirements, this local, small-batch creamery not only serves up vegan sorbets and seasonal treats, but the classics done well. In particular, their chocolate chip ice cream cookie sandwich stands out as a crowd-pleaser. Whether filled with Minneapolis vanilla, chocolate, or raspberry chocolate chip, the outer cookies are house-baked and perfectly soft, with hefty chocolate chunks. They’re darn filling, too, so why not eat half now and save the rest for breakfast tomorrow?
