Love Sebastian Joe's- great ice cream, I've tried basically every flavor. So delicious, a sweet lover's dream! Sebastian Joe's is also large enough to relax with friends or come and do homework!

Last year we took a visiting friend around the city and this was one of our stops. My husband, who grew up in Minneapolis, had never been here either. I knew it was wonderful and they both loved it too. Now my husband is already talking about summer coming so we can go back for more ice cream :)

Best homemade icecream i've ever had! Highly recommend trying something new here - and go for one of their homemade and hand dipped cones - to die for!

Even during the dead of winter, Sebastian Joe's is always able to stir some magic into our desert experience. Love these guys!

It's 9 PM on a Wednesday, it's 9 degrees F out, and there's a line. That's all you pretty much need to know. The good: - The ice cream is excellent; stay away from "normal" flavors; Pavarotti and the Salted Caramel were outstanding. - Service was patient with us, recommending flavors and giving samples. The bad: - It's crowded. What... More

WeatherEven after 20 years... It was still as good as I remember it. Friendly staff. My daughter loved it. Loved the cold weather discount too.

Great place to grab a treat with the kids! Delicious ice cream, friendly staff and cozy atmosphere. Takes you back to the old fountain shop days.

This says it all, great scones and coffee. Good ice cream with a polar temp discount. The staff didn't mind that my wife tried all the flavors before she decided.

every trip to Minneapolis - we have to go to Sebastian Joe's - even in December! Last week I had the Salty Caramel - incredible, although I was tempted by the "Pothole on Nicollet Ave" - just for the name!
