They've been operating in the same location since the '40s, most of that time as an ice-cream maker, but for the last decade as a beautiful cafe as well, with a flower-filled outdoor piazza. Read more

The ice cream is always delightful, the people personal and charming. And the best courtyard in all of the Twin Cities-- hands down.

A charming café serving serving everything from scrambles to oatmeal to pancakes for breakfast, soups, salads, paninis, and pizza for lunch. The kids will love their abundance of ice cream flavors.

Chocolate hazelnut French toast with caramelized bananas and any flavor ice cream you want, is amazing!! Everything is fantastic here. A little gem in S. Mpls.

They have awesome rotating ice cream flavors that change quite often. The sit down dining is meh, but the food is good.

Great caramel ice cream! Not too sweet, just perfect! The lemon cake was a little dry though

Cardamom, rosewater, pistachio & black pepper ice cream. Their patio is one of my favorite places in the city.

They have a lovely patio where you can eat your ice cream or sorbet on a not-too-hot night (or enjoy the A/C inside if it's sweltering).

So many flavors. Mostly organic with local ingredients; all delicious.

Not just ice cream - their food is also really good. Try the veggie burger.

You have to try the Organic Veggie Hash, it's the best.

Couldn't decide between cardamom black pepper and cinnamon and cucumber pinot grigio mint. So I had strawberry.

Ask the fine folk at Crema to make you a sorbet-based drink. Be prepared to be amazed.

If you're lucky and it's available, get an affogato with Guinness ice cream.

Try whatever the strange flavor of ice cream or sherbet is for the day
