South Minneapolis has a lot of neighborhood business areas. One of my favorite is 48th and Chicago. There is the Parkway theater, Turtle bakery, a couple of restaurants and the Pumphouse Creamery. The Pumphouse Creamery is located at 4754 Chicago Avenue.
The shop itself is small. There is one table, a window bench and the ice cream counter. A single scoop of ice cream is 3.20, a double is 5.10 and a five scoop
sampler of 4.20. The ice cream is served in a bowl or a homemade waffle
cone. The ice cream counter had 20 different flavors of ice cream. The ice cream is made on-site using local ingredients and the recipes are posted on the wall.
I am sorry to say that I did not enjoy the Passion Fruit, Orange, Guava Sorbet. It did not have a strong flavor or a pop. The sorbet tasted flat. It seemed to be missing something that day. The waffle cone tasted bland and did not hold the sorbet well. I almost lost my sorbet to the floor twice.
L had the Chocolate ice cream. She thought it was creamy and loved the dark chocolate taste. She is a fan of very dark chocolate. She did not like the waffle cone either.
S had Coffee with Almond Toffee ice cream. She thought it was great. It was three votes against the waffle cone. She said that she would never have it again.
I was a little disappoint with the Pumphouse creamery. If we stop by again, I would definitely pick an ice cream in a bowl. They also make sundaes, malts, and shakes. It is worth the trip, if you are strolling down the Minnehaha parkway on a hot summer's day and need a treat.
