Description

Izzy's Ice Cream Café is a place so idyllic in a kind of old-timey, small-towny way it makes you feel like all is right in the world. Real homemade vanilla-bean ice cream flecked so densely with vanilla-bean seeds it's mottled gray. Real homemade cherries-jubilee ice cream made with big juicy pieces of cherry and a kick of brandy. Real homemade buttery caramel sauce, real homemade velvety hot fudge sauce... Get the idea? Izzy's is the land where the real, the homemade, the nice, and the pleasant get topped with whipped cream while kids practice their piano on the old upright by the water cooler. It's true. Put a real cherry on it. Call it a night.

Izzy's Ice Cream Cafe is one of St. Paul's treasures. The retail store offers more than 30 flavors a day, all updated by the minute on its website. Izzy's does traditional flavors exceptionally well: The vanilla ice cream is made with Neilsen Massey's pure bourbon vanilla extract, the chocolate is dark and rich, and the mint chocolate chip boasts both peppermint oil and peppermint extract. Other tried-and-true selections include cookies and cream (made with real Oreos), strawberry, chocolate... More »

What has the tech-boom done but turn all of us into Facebooking fools and Tweeting twits Still, we have to admit we're fans of the new radio frequency identification (RFID) system being employed at Izzy's, which gives customers real-time access to the status of every flavor in the case. With 32 choices available each day, there's no reason that one can't just wander into the shop and find something to satisfy. But for fans of elusive flavors, RFID is an excellent way to track the comings... More »

Standing in line at Izzy's is an arduous endeavor. Not only is the scent of the sweet, creamy frozen confections almost overpowering, but the longer you stand there--and in summer the queue usually goes out the door--the more often you'll change your mind about which mouthwatering flavor to order. Cinnamon bun Pistachio Strawberry cheesecake Cotton candy Chocolate Vanilla The list seems endless. Fortunately, when your turn comes and you finally decide, the clerk will ask, "What kind... More »

Our Classic Flavors

Vanilla
when we first opened our ice cream shop in 2000, we were voted best vanilla ice cream in the twin cities by the pioneer press. nothing's changed since then. we still use nielsen massey's pure bourbon vanilla extract. this simple, but rich flavor is our pride and joy. all great ice cream shops are tested by their vanilla, and ours passes the test.

Chocolate
our chocolate ice cream is made with a dutch-processed cocoa from guittard chocolate company, a family owned business out of san francisco. it tastes slightly more rich and dark than most other chocolate brands of ice cream.

Strawberry
whether it's winter or summer, we put the summer right in our ice cream with these ripened, red strawberries. refreshing and fruity, all you get here is strawberries, sugar, and fresh cream.

Mint Chocolate Chip
a perennial favorite of our customers, this mint chocolate chip combination is made with two flavors of peppermint: a peppermint oil and a peppermint extract. we hand mix-in our own recipe of chocolate chips. we've left out the green coloring, so this ice cream is an au natural color.

Cookies N Cream
by far our best selling ice cream. when you can't make up your mind about what flavor to eat, go with what you know, cookies and cream. made with none other than america's favorite cookie, the oreo, this ice cream disappears fast.
