Flapdoodles Homemade Ice Cream

Brought kids here when it’s sooo hot over the weekend. Really hit the spot. They have some unusual flavors too. Place is pretty small though as far as seating.

A great place to get some ice cream. The staff is really nice and they are patient as you look through all the flavors. Imagine a cold stone without the annoying singing. Much more family friendly.

I always use the drive thru. It’s always fast and efficient even when they seem busy. However the employee who always ends up talking the orders at the window seems to dread it. At least that’s the impression I always get from them because they never look happy taking orders. The salty caramel always gets me to come back here but every time I get it there seems to be more caramel and less ice cream. I’ve noticed depending on who serves you too the scoops tend to get smaller unfortunately. I just wish the staff showed the same enthusiasm and excitement they use to when they first opened.

So good! Nothing like the flavors and atmosphere! You’ve got to try this ice cream!!!

Talk about homemade ice cream! Flapdoodles makes their ice cream and their waffle dishes/​cones at the store! They are conveniently located across from the big blue IBM building so when you’re done melting in the summer heat of Minnesota, you can grab a cone on your way back towards the highway!
Love this place! Too bad there aren’t many more places like this out in the West.

Have not been a fan of this place but I’ve converted! A little overpriced for an ice cream joint in Rochester (what I mean is, it ain’t LA), but for cravings here and there the price is right! They make their own ice cream, flavors change daily, while some staples are always around. I highly recommend the strawberry cheesecake, salted caramel and the honey lavender (my fav!!). You can get a loyalty card so more motive to eat more 600 calorie scoops!
I’ll be back.

Amazing ice cream and always worth the stop. They always have a variety of delicious flavors and quick, friendly service. You can sample flavors and they offer a punchcard system for a free ice cream.

Two stars because the ice cream was AWESOME but wow the service was effing awful. We walked in for the first time tonight and didn’t even know which side of the line was front and back. No direction. No one willing to help. Then when we got to the front of the line the server helped TWO people behind us before another worker had to come help. Won’t be back.

Loved it! Ice cream was great & atmosphere was fun. Awesome!

Very good home aid ice cream with many unique flavors. Try them all before you choose.

These guys make excellent ice cream, and this is coming from someone who makes it homemade using local dairy milk… when we’re discussing ice cream, my standards are high!
On my most recent visit I decided to try one of their fancier menu options — the affogato (vanilla ice cream with a double shot of espresso, house-​made whipped cream, chocolate shavings, and mini almond cookies). The freshly pulled hot espresso was excellent alongside their vanilla ice cream, but the ratio was a little off as I was left with half of my espresso and no ice cream to accompany it.
I don’t think you can go wrong with any of Flapdoodle’s ice cream flavors though, plus the riddles/​jokes covering their walls and tables are so dorky that they’re perfect.

Our favorite place to go as a family for ice cream. All homemade and the best around! You won’t be disappointed.

Ice cream: 5 stars. Every single dairy-​filled ice cream is (so Ive heard) out of this world.
Non-​dairy choices: 1 star. Out of the several dozen ice cream choices there is literally only one flavor that is dairy free. It is a freezer burnt berry sorbet. Ive gotten it twice, and both times it has had huge chunks of ice in it and tasted like it had been sitting in the freezer for weeks. If you are only going to have one dairy-​free flavor, at least do it well.
Average stars: 3

Love their ice cream. If you are too lazy to get out of the car, you can always go through the drive-​through!

I loooovveee flapdoodles. Oodles of doodles. I think they are so cute from their menu to their presentation. Some flavors are hit and miss for me, but the ones I enjoy– I truly enjoy it. It hits the price: quality ratio for me. You can certainly splurge for a fleet or flagship (large) but theirs is enough to satisfy my sweet tooth with a regular scoop flapdoodle or capsizer~

Fun little quaint shop that the locals often frequent. Small cute shop with homemade ice cream and good flavors. The raspberry cheesecake was great but I tried the infamous cookie monster and was a little bit disappointed by it, considering how it is everyone’s favorite. Overall a great ice cream shop though!

Favorite place in Rochester!
Great ice cream– you can tell its homemade, nice and creamy, rich and delicious novel flavors!
They rotate the featured flavors so it’s always fun!
Generous portion size! Great atmosphere and very nice service! They have drive through And loyalty card to make things better:)
Definitely keep coming back here!

This place is just not right. There favors and toppings are all written in chalk in small print. The menu is all messed up they have crazy names for everything. On a positive note they do have plenty of staff members on hand and the ice cream was very good. «The only thing that makes sense is the ice cream». Flapdoodles.

Pros:
1. Homemade ice cream!
2. Homemade waffle cones!
3. Variety of great flavors, including mint chip, coffee, caramel, and too many others to name.
4. Funky eclectic environment with charm.
5. They even will give you a bowl with your cone or have a special handle to hold the waffle cone to prevent drips.
Cons:
1. The plastic handle to hold the waffle cone may be a bit wasteful. It is a right of passage to have the ice cream drip out the bottom of the cone!
Oh boy do I love ice cream joints, especially small ones like this. Definitely will be returning next time I’m in town.

Who doesn’t love ice cream? This isn’t just your typical ice cream though, its super delicious homemade creations. Its no wonder all the reviews are 5 stars.
They have a very cute shop, with kitschy sayings all over the walls and tables; its always a plus when some form of entertainment is provided during your experience.
There are a lot of options for scoops, cones, sizes, etc. The junior sized two scoop is the option I went for on my recent visit. I had a very hard time choosing the right flavors and definitely couldn’t’ decide on one! I think i may have tasted almost every flavor, too — but it seems like the employees were expecting that, and it happens often.
Man, I wish I could remember the names of the two junior scoops I ordered though. Roughly, they were a mint chocolate chip and caramel nut crunch something or other. They were seriously delicious, the best ice cream I have had in ages.
One regular scoop or two junior scoops is about as much as I could handle though. It is pretty good stuff, but there is such a thing as too much sweetness, and any more probably would’ve given me a nasty bellyache (not to mention a food coma).
I should also mention the price is right, less than $ 4 for my two junior scoops — you would never see a price like that in the cities.
A nice added bonus for the folks that know what flavor they prefer — there is a drive-​thru, so you can take your deliciousness to-​go, fast.
PS. Best name of any store ever. Its fun to say, delicious, and makes you think happy thoughts. Nothing but happiness.
