    The nostalgia runs deep here. Just do it. Stand in line, get the treat and eat it while surrounded by all the other folks with sticky melted soft serve on their hands and faces.

    I was visiting White Bear Lake and everyone told me I had to stop at Cup and Cone — and they were right! This place is such a fun, nostalgic ice cream stand with a classic hometown feel. The soft-serve was creamy, flavorful, and stacked high, and the prices were way better than what I’m used to back home. Even though there was a line, it moved quickly, and it honestly added to the experience. You can tell it’s a local favorite, but as a visitor I felt totally welcomed. If you’re anywhere near White Bear Lake in the summer, Cup and Cone is absolutely worth the stop!

    I recently moved to the area and pass every evening after my run with my dog. I always wondered why the line went so far down the street so we finally stopped. It had just finished raining so the queue was pretty short. I explained to the person at the window that it was my first time and they suggested I try the flavor of the week which was raspberry. I decided to have it dipped in chocolate. And, got my dog a pup cup! They ask if you want the cup smeared with peanut butter and topped with a treat. That was a definite yes for my boy! I tried to do the tap-to-pay but my card had just expired. The staff graciously allowed me to run to the car and grab another card! I completed the transaction at a side window. I am happy to report that the ice cream was FANTASTIC! Super creamy, great flavor--not artificial like most places. I now understand why the line wraps down the street every night!
