Love this place. Scratch everything. They make the ice cream in 5 gallon batches. The devil's food cake was good. Moist and not too sugary. Had a glass of red wine as well. Fun to go to a place where you can have a nice glass of wine, cake, and ice cream, sit on the patio and feel like you're on vacation. Love the decor as well.

What an adorable ice cream shop! Love the little patio/garden area. The ice cream was actually so good! However, I got an iced latte and that did not taste good at all. I’m guessing that’s due to the paper straw because it literally tasted like dirty water. I’ll definitely be back for more ice cream tho!

The ice cream, gelato and sorbet are incredible, but it’s the ambiance that will bring you back to Sonny’s. Cardamom and black pepper or just the tastiest mint chip — from fave standbys to cool concoctions, I’m always glad to try something new here.

Such an enchanting escape with fare that lives up to the atmosphere. This quaint little replica of an Italian gelato shop feels like the real deal, right down to the narrow alleyway courtyard. The quality of the gelato is authentic too, but

I was craving ice cream and Sonnys had caught my attention. This was due to the many different unique flavors constantly being rotated and that it is all done from scratch. I sampled a few and was able to get an idea of what I was going to

This is a remarkable local shop that all residents in the Lake Harriet area love. Open since 1945; it was originally owned and operated by none other than Sonny Siron! Carrie Gustafson, is co-owner of Sonny’s Crema Café today, and we want

This is the most underrated place in Minneapolis! Their gelato and sorbetto is made in small, very creative batches (think cardamom and pepper, rose petal, cucumber melon, or even kim chi!) but you can also find the staples as well. They

Tons of options for ice cream and sorbet. Flavors from coconut to coffee to lemon to ginger! I was overwhelmed by the opportunities. Lots of seating both indoor and outdoor. The alleyway seating reminded me of a little escape in Italy. I

The best ice cream in the Twin Cities - been coming here for 13 years. Each batch is made from scratch with high quality ingredients. The flavors are unique (ex: saffron rosewater & pistachio gelato) and rotate on a regular basis. Note

Great atmosphere and really great gelato. Definitely a bit pricey but the atmosphere is enough to make this place worth it. Also open late! Will be coming back for their amazing sorbet.

  • Jessica Schindler

Delicious gelato, creative ideas for drinks and desserts, and excellent ambiance. Also fair priced. Love the 'secret garden' area. The whole place gives European vibes.

Easily one of the most special places I've been in my life. Beautiful legacy, *gorgeous* setting, phenomenal menu (GET THE MOCHA WITH CHOCOLATE GELATO IN IT).

  • Noah Barth

Outdoor space here is really picturesque and unique. It is a quiet refuge tucked away and with a scoop or two of their great flavors, you'll never want to leave.

  • Issa Baker

Such great flavors here. And they always offer lots of samples. It makes sense why they have been around for so long. It is seasonal so just remember that.
