Northern Expressions in Ely

Best ice cream around. We bring our kids up here every year and have it several times each visit. Definitely a 5/5 rating!

Best homemade waffle cones & ice cream

This is, BY FAR, our MOST favorite gift store and ice cream shop and Liquor Store in Ely. If you do not go here you are missing the entire ELY experience. We got annoyed by the obvious political leanings and shaming of other stores in Ely and we really appreciated the welcoming of the owner who was so kind, lovely, generous, and truly excited to serve her customers. We just LOVED IT! They have the BEST Blueberry Malts! Yum yum yum. Thank you for the fun and awesome time! 😁👍🏻

Best place to get ice cream in northern MN! Homemade waffle cone are tops. With a large variety of ice cream. Bonus they offer pup cups!!!! An the shop is so rustic! This is my favorite place

Love the Blueberry Shake. All the Ice cream is great.

Great service and tasty ice cream!!!

The best ice cream ever. So many flavors to choose from. Went to days in a row.

Their homemade waffle cones were amazing!!!

The icecream was delicious. I was not happy to find they do not have a restroom. When serving food one should be able to wash your hands. As a patron to your store I shouldn't have to use your neighbor's restrooms.

Love the ice cream and shakes

Best place for ice cream after the lake!

Great ice cream and neat little gift shop, very friendly staff! We will be back!

Good ice cream, better waffle cones

Nicest people you'll ever meet. Helpful, friendly, and genuine. Great selection. Don't forget to get a Java Chunk waffle cone!

Good service and 34 flavors of ice cream to choose from... Yum.

Great Ice Cream and waffle cones! Awesome shop to visit during the summer.

Ice cream was great and the lady that owns the place gave me the best fishing advise tried her suggestions and caught all kinds of walleye😉

Lots of neat stuff to buy!

Wow! Tons of flavors of ice cream, homemade waffle cones & the nicest owner you'll ever meet! I called to see if they were open upon arriving since I didn't want to unload kids in the rain if it was closed. Which it was but she happily offered to open back up for us!! Not only did she do that but she invited us to stay & eat our ice cream in the store. She visited with us the whole time and my girls simply ADORE her (& her sweet pup, we met later on). Be sure and check this Ely treasure out. Flavors galore, HUGE servings & pie shakes...yum!!!!

Friendly staff, lots of flavors, fast service and the store has so many great things.

Best ice cream in Ely with lots of different flavors to choose from!

Its not all that its cracked up to be.First, we are definately aware of the owner political stance. Thanks owner.I give this place a weak 6 on the amazing ice cream shop scale. A strong 10 on commercializing a ice cream shop scale. Good ole kemps quality here and Deans ice dream. The sweetest, cheapest ice cream you can purchase.Store claim Best in Town. Hahahaha

Awesome service at the coolest little ice cream shop there is.

Yummy ice cream and cones. The place smells heaven of fresh made cones! Many flavors to chooses from, many are unique!

Great little store with friendly staff. Make sure to get the homemade waffle cones. My kids may be ruined forever now comparing them to any other waffle cones. 😊

The bestest ice cream

Very nice.

Great place to stop for some delicious icecream! The possibilities are endless with so many flavors to choose from. The waffle cones are for sure the best route to go! Yum

Best waffle cone ever!!

AMAZING ice cream and homemade waffle cones! 5 stars if they were open more hours during summer! Definitely a treat!

Awesomeness

Great place. Super cool atmosphere and ledgendary Ice Cream

Suuuuuch good ice cream here! It's all homemade and there are many flavors to choose from. The owner is so kind and anyone will strike up a friendly conversation with you!

Really good ice cream. The coffee was good too.

Very very tasty treats for young & old alike!

Fantastic creamy Blueberry Ice Cream and superb top notch coffee. I will visit again next summer for my caffeine and Blueberry fix.

Great service, large selection of flavors and the serving size is abundant. I ordered a double scoop in a dish and had to stop the gal because there was so much ice cream. $5 well spent!

Great waffle cone, the single dip is big!

Great tasting icecream and shakes!

Was looking for a light lunch at the restaurant across the street, but they were grossly under staffed so we crossed the street when we saw "Malts, Shakes, & Cones". Little did we know we would have to walk through a great gift shop to get there. I think the girl serving us was going for a Guinness world record for burying a cone in ice cream. My Raspberry Chocolate Chunk was awesome as well as my wife's fresh raspberry sundae. After the ice cream we slowly browsed the shop and took home a tangible memory. Wonderful people!

Great Ice cream. Waffle Cones were very good. Hot day and had to eat it fast. Kinda wish I could have taken my time. Yep we will go here again.

Delicious ice cream and such a sweet shop owner

Amazing ice cream! Gotta stop here!

Best ice cream in Ely!
