Our next stop was at Grandpa's Ice Cream in Fridley, MN. Grandpa's Ice Cream is located at 1258 East Moore Lake Drive. It is in the strip mall next to L.A. Fitness.
We were greeted by the very friendly staff when we entered the door. They shared with us how the ice cream was made and offered us samples of any of the ice creams. Grandpa's Ice Cream makes their ice cream on-site. They use an Italian
ice cream maker called a Carpigiani. The server at the store told us
that they have experimented with a number different ingredients to make
some wonderful flavors. There were 32 different flavors the day we visited. A single scoop of ice cream is 3.35, a double is 4.55 and a bowl of three mini scoops is 3.99.
I had a mini bowl with three different ice creams. The Mango pineapple was creamy and had chunks of pineapple. The Rum Cherry had nice big chunks of cherry and I really enjoy the flavor. The Butter Pecan had lots of pecans and the flavor was great. The theme here is a lot of good sized ingredients added to the ice cream. I think the combination makes for a great ice cream experience.
L had the Chocolate and Mint Chocolate chip on a sugar cone. She rated the Chocolate ice cream a 4. The Mint Chocolate chip was a 3. I liked the Mint Chocolate chip.
S had a mini bowl with three flavors: Mango pineapple, Brownie and Coffee. She said that the Mango pineapple was good. It had good size pineapple chunks. The Brownie was full of many yummy flavors.
M had a bowl of Salty Caramel. She loved it. It was perfect. The others thought it was too salty.
We enjoyed the sitting area. It had a old ice cream parlor theme. I thought the following poster says it all.
