Hmm

Is it just me, or is this really overpriced Kemps ice cream with a few twists here and there? I really don't notice much of a discernible difference between the Kemps I've had at ice cream shops over the years and the ones I've had at Sebastian Joe's. This wouldn't be too big of a deal if I couldn't buy a half gallon carton of ice cream for the price of one of their cones. It'd be great if Adele's Custard expanded into Uptown, because people don't know what they're missing with that place. Rating: **

Perfect Uptown Point A

Sebastian Joe's is the perfect starting point for two of my favourite Uptown-area walks; the length of Hennepin from Franklin to 36th (sometimes then around Calhoun) or down Franklin and around Lake of the Isles. It's getting to be the time of year where that's no longer possible, but I'm hoping to get another walk in before November and cold man winter really come knockin'. Of course, Joe's also offers the most consistently delicious ice cream in town, too. While I often get myself one of their staples, the Pavarotti (chocolate, banana, something else I can't recall), I will just as often spring for the Dark Angel (raspberry compote, chocolate ice cream, whipped cream) or a deliciously rich americano.

Their unique take on ice cream has always taken my by surprise. They always have the old standbys of Oreo, raspberry chocolate chip, and vanilla on hand, but for the adventurous they might just have ginger or ice cream with a kid's cereal in it (I think they had Count Chocula once...). A definite must-do Minneapolis destination! Rating: *****

Decisions, decisions

Every time I've been here I am torn between getting espresso or ice cream. Ice cream generally wins out. Everything I've tasted there has been exceptionally good and the atmosphere is nice, too. There's interesting artwork and photographs. I also like that it is next to a Patina store. Score! Rating: *****

This is by far the best ice cream cafe in town! Not only is the selection of ice cream huge, but the flavors are creative and fun. Even for the health nut, they have a good selection (read: more than one) of low-fat and fat-free ice creams and yogurts. They also have some tasty espresso. I love coming here in the summer to read/write/daydream while enjoying a homemade mocha ice cream shake. Plus, the people watching is a guarenteed good time:) Oh, makes for a GREAT date night...
