What People Are Saying About Pumphouse Creamery

In Short
This locally owned shop has 20 handcrafted ice cream flavors made on-site. This diminutive decor offers one table and just enough room for the ice cream case. Maybe it's the organic cream from central Minnesota farms. Maybe it's the Madagascar bourbon vanilla, considered the finest in the world. Whatever the reason, the result is creamy, velvety ice cream. Flavors change often, and include chocolate bread from the Turtle Bakery.

The Pumphouse has the best ice cream in the twin cities - natural and organic, great flavors and wonderful sorbets. Must try the seasonal pumpkin with oatmeal cookies and cream

This ice cream is the best I have had in years! But it's not just ice cream... they have shakes, malts, sundaes, 5 scoop samplers and hand packed pints and I believe quarts also. The owner and employees were very helpful, friendly and informative. You must try the sea salt pralin or chipotle chocolate. All of the ice cream is made with organic milk and all of the ingredidents are local. And a nice new treat is the dog ice cream made with half the sugar. I got a 6 pack for my puppy. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Pumphouse Creamery.

Now that I've been to Pumphouse Creamery, all other ice cream just doesn't match up. I would go to Pumphouse even just for its mission - high quality, natural, local ingredients, neighborhood employees, handmade batch by batch. But even more, I go even more for the ice cream! You can't imagine the difference in taste - rich, creamy, not overdone with sugar and never any dyes. The sea-salt praline pecan is phenomenal, and all the el ray chocolate combinations are a true chocolate lover's dream. I still don't understand how the one woman who owns it handmakes every batch herself, but you sure can taste the difference. With Thanksgiving coming up, I'm going in to get my pints of pumpkin, oatmeal raisin cookie, and probably a five-scoop sampler (trust me, you'll have a hard time even limiting it to five!). I'm happy to see such a responsible, fabulous business in south Minneapolis.
