Cup and Cone

I was visiting White Bear Lake and everyone told me I had to stop at Cup and Cone — and they were right! This place is such a fun, nostalgic ice cream stand with a classic hometown feel. The soft-serve was creamy, flavorful, and stacked high, and the prices were way better than what I’m used to back home.

I recently moved to the area and pass every evening after my run with my dog. I always wondered why the line went so far down the street so we finally stopped. It had just finished raining so the queue was pretty short. I explained to the person at the window that it was my first time and they suggested I try the flavor of the week which was raspberry. I decided to have it dipped in chocolate. And, got my dog a pup cup! They ask if you want the cup smeared with peanut butter and topped with a treat. That was a definite yes for my boy! I tried to do the tap-to-pay but my card had just expired. The staff graciously allowed me to run to the car and grab another card! I completed the transaction at a side window. I am happy to report that the ice cream was FANTASTIC! Super creamy, great flav
