What People Are Saying About Sebastian Joe's Ice Cream Cafe
The Editor

Citysearch
In Short – This sparse and casual space has a few tables and a small performing area at one end of the room. Long a cool spot for people-watching; always a popular destination when the dew point climbs high. Both new spins and old favorites are on the ice cream list of more than 80 flavors. Traditionalists love the heady vanilla, which uses ground beans instead of extract. The daring try ginger-cream or spicy cayenne-laced chocolate coyote.

bad customer service
by welshie
I don't know why I expected warm fuzzies when I entered Sebastian Joe's for the first (and last) time in years today. Perhaps it was because I have such good memories of going there when I was little; I didn't expect the cold welcome and the rude comments by the cashier as she told me and my husband that we could not stay in the establishment because we had dunn bros coffee in our hands. Perhaps the owners of the two establishments are in a bitter blood feud, and cannot stand even the sight of the other store... regardless, I think it is bad policy to humiliate one's customers
- Pros: best ice cream, nostalgia
- Cons: crabby cashier lady

The best ice cream in twin cities.
by Pavel Ushakov
They have pretty much the best ice cream in twin cities. I especially like Oreo! Also Rum and Raising is very good.
I see they now have a fan site at sebastianjoe com
- Pros: taste, location
- Cons: price
The Details on Sebastian Joe's Ice Cream Cafe
Fun Fact:
The Franklin Avenue Sebastian Joe's was one of Minneapolis' very first coffeehouses.
Know Before You Go:
Sebastian Joe's also has another equally worthy location on Upton Avenue in Linden Hills.
The Extras:
Along with 24 unique ice cream flavors, Sebastian Joe's also serves a heaping helping of sorbets, malts, frozen yogurt, float and sundaes. Its rotation of homemade ice-cream flavors has made it an institution, but this place also knows a thing or two about classic spumoni and fruity sorbets.
