Grand Ole Creamery Web Site
Our first trip was to the Grand Ole Creamery in Saint Paul, MN. The Grand Ole Creamery is located at 750 Grand Avenue. Grand Avenue in Saint Paul has a lot of fun restaurants and shops. It is like a mini small town in the middle of the city.
The line for the shop was out the door when we arrived. The service has fast and cheerful. A single scoop of ice cream is 4.25 on a cone, 4.75 on a waffle cone(which they make on-site) and 5.00 for a bowl with five different scoops. They have a list of all the flavors available that day on the wall behind the counter. There must of been 30 flavors available the day we were there. The serving sizes are big.
I had the bowl with the five different scoops. The Rum cherry was great. It has a strong flavor and a rich cream. The French Vanilla was a solid choice for a standard scoop. The Raspberry lemonade Sorbet is not an ice cream but the flavor explodes in your mouth. The Mac Daddy had a nice crunch. I am not sure about the Black Walnut. It was at the bottom of the bowl and mixed with all the other flavors.
L had Chocolate and Birthday Cake ice cream. The Chocolate was OK and the Birthday Cake was a little sweet.
M had Chocolate Fudge Brownies. The ice cream was really rich and she had a hard time finishing it. She found out that even though there are lots of flavors online not all of them are offered every day and was a bit disappointed.
S had German Chocolate and Strawberry Cheese cake on a waffle cone. She really enjoyed both. The waffle cone was worth the extra money.
All in all, our first outing was fun and the ice cream was great.
