Reviews for Nelson's Ice Cream in Stillwater, MN
Staff was friendly and sweet. Gave me way more ice cream than I would ever need. Lots of gluten free options and some dairy free... as well. Cash only. Read more
Chocolate chip cookie flavor was average and really not the best I've tasted. We came in not realizing their child cup gets... stacked with the tallest ice cream scoop ever. Probably was a foot high, I was surprised when they gave me my order. Good thingfor ice cream lovers but I just couldn't eat all that much. Just be aware. And that's not the reason for the review. They alsoonly accept cash. Read more
I went in with my kids to grab a couple small bowls of ice cream. Well let me just tell you small does not exist in their world.... We all ordered kids size and probably could have shared 1 between the four of us. The selection could keep your there for hoursbut don't worry you can try as many as you want before making your selection. Good luck is all I can say because choosingbetween 70+ flavors and then trying to eat all of it will leave you in a ice cream coma. By far the best hands down nobody holdsa candle to this place. Thank you for being the ice cream capital of the world! Read more
Always a summer favorite. Many, many flavors to choose from. (Very) generous portion sizes. I always order a child size in a... waffle cone, and receive about a pint of ice cream. On weekends, the line extends out the door and across the front of thebuilding. Enjoy. Read more
We stopped after a baseball game. This place has been around for years! They are still in the original building. As with lots of... things in Stillwater, it has lots of history. It's a small shop with little parking, and the line was out the door but WELLWORTH IT! CASH ONLY, I'm lucky I had some on me. Very tasty. large portions. There's a nice little patio to sit and enjoy yourtreat. Definitely a stop you have to make while here. Read more
Huge portion of ice cream at an amazing price. I actually fumbled the ball and ordered two cups before I realized the size of... one! One cup actually fills two physical cups. Glad I only ordered two for my family because we couldn't even come close tofinishing it. Great selection of flavors and the kids working there are helpful and pleasant. I went on a 92° day soeverything was melting on me outside but it was still a great experience. The picture I attached is missing the huge cup mytoddler was eating out of. Read more
Not only are there a billion different ice cream flavors to choose from, the serving sizes are outrageous, the employees are... incredibly kind, and it is just a fun atmosphere all around. When two of us ordered a single, we were questioned about sharingbecause the sizes are so huge. I put a picture to show kid size, small, medium, and large. No one in this world could evercomplete a large on their own. I was there about 3:30 in the afternoon on a very hot day and there was no line. You will knowthat you aren't always going to be this lucky at other times in the day. The line can be very long, but moves fairly quickly.There was one vegan ice cream flavor and two vegan sorbets to choose from for those that are lactose free or are looking forvegan options.
