Ice cream is one of the few things that still works exactly as advertised.
No app. No subscription. No “optimized experience.” Just cold, sweet, slightly messy proof that summer still exists.
In Minnesota we don’t take it for granted. We wait all year for the stretch of days when the only decision that matters is soft-serve or scoop, and whether you’re eating it before it melts or racing the melt itself.
Some people treat ice cream like a reward. My go to reward is McDonald’s soft serve. I can find a small treat on a wafer cone as close as the next franchise drive-up.
Sometimes what you need is a destination ice cream, a shop located walking distance from the restaurant you just ate at. Not ready to let go of the company or conversation, off you go to a place like Bebe Zito ice cream. Located across from the Wedge Coop at 22nd an Lyndale, it offered a delicious treat and enabled an already enjoyable evening to be extended a bit longer.
