UPTOWN. This family-owned ice cream shop has become a Twin Cities legend thanks to its huge assortment of homespun, traditional faves and more adventurous creations like Raspberry-Chocolate and Ginger-Cream. In fact, their ice cream is so revered by locals that many of the area's top restaurants serve it alongside their desserts. If it's too early for ice cream, don't let that keep you away – they also serve up specialty coffees and baked goods for the breakfast crowd.

UPTOWN. This old-style bakery serves gigantic cinnamon and caramel rolls that you can frost yourself! Take home one of their delicious pecan sticky buns, a coffee cake, a loaf of bread, or a dozen savory rolls for a warm welcome. A sunken floor, high ceilings and windows, and a counter lined with stools lend a light, airy feeling to the place.

UPTOWN. This friendly neighborhood coffee house features a café in the front room and a living room filled with mismatched furniture in the back. It's a fun place to kick back with friends, take on other patrons with one of the many board games, or sit outside when the weather's warm with a nice cuppa. Wooden floors, high ceilings, local artwork, and an aquarium set the scene; baked goods are among the munchies available.
