When you’re busy driving about town it’s easy to get swept up in the hustle and bustle of the daily grind. But you shouldn’t forget to enjoy the sweeter side of life every once in a while. Swing by one of the many fantastic spots throughout Rochester to find great ice cream and other tasty, cool treats that are sure to make your day a little sweeter.

Flapdoodles in Rochester

The environment inside this ice cream shop is not one you may expect. The owner describes it as “fun and nonsensical…where the only thing that makes sense is the ice cream!” The name of the business is rooted in happy, family memories of being on his dad’s sailboat, “Flapdoodle,” and their family’s love of ice cream has turned serving and eating this cool treat into an art form.

Many of their menu items have nautical themes, and they use waffle cones served upside to resemble the sail of a sailboat. Even a cone served right-side-up is called “The Capsizer” (because now the “boat” is upside down). But they don’t just limit themselves to ice cream cones. They have malts, shakes, cakes, pies, and pints of ice cream to take home available as well.

Carroll’s Cup

A self-serve frozen yogurt shop near the Mayo Clinic, Carroll’s Cup is a great place for families. The kids will enjoy serving themselves their own yogurt as well as selecting various toppings of their choosing including fruits, candy bars, and hot fudge.

Customer favorites include Georgia Peach for those who like refreshing flavors and Cake Batter for those who prefer sweeter tastes. And for all the chocolate lovers out there, the Zanzibar Chocolate is a must-try as it has been reviewed as one of the best chocolate flavors to ever exist.
