Sweet P's Ice Cream and Candies


Sweet P's Ice Cream and candies is located at 707 Main Street NW in Elk River, MN.  The store is in the old downtown area near Highway 10 and County Road 42.  It is an old time candy store and ice cream parlor.

The ice cream is made on-site.  They had sixteen different flavors the day we stopped.  There are free samples of ice cream to help you chose the right flavor.  The ice cream is served in cake cone, sugar cone, waffle cones or a bowl.  A single scoop is 2.49, a double 3.29 and the Sweet P's sampler is 5.29.  You will need to add 50 cents for a sugar cone and one dollar for a waffle cone.


I had the Black Cherry ice cream on a sugar cone.  The ice cream was creamy and had good flavor.  It had the right amount of cherries in the mix.  Having had a number of cherry ice creams this summer, I would rate the flavor in the middle of the pack.  It was nice but not great.

L had the Chocolate ice cream on a sugar cone.  She really enjoyed the flavor.  It was a 4.5 on a scale of 1-5.  She had a sample of the root beer ice cream and would recommend it to root beer lovers.  It had a strong root beer taste.

S had the Cake batter ice cream on a sugar cone.  She enjoyed the flavor and it was filled with lots of sprinkles in the ice cream.  She a little disappointed about the number of fun ice cream flavors that were available.

A had the Strawberry ice cream on a sugar cone.  He enjoyed the flavor.


Sweet P's Ice Cream and Candies is definitely worth the drive on a hot summer's afternoon.  The ice cream was good and the prices were reasonable.  The shop has plenty of seating with tables inside and outside.
