Cold Front
490 Hamline Ave S, Saint Paul, MN
Crema's Take
“Cold Front is a charming soda fountain-style coffee shop that brilliantly bridges the gap between serious espresso drinks and nostalgic ice cream indulgence, making it equally perfect for a quick affogato or a lingering date. Their signature creations like the Flannel showcase thoughtful beverage design, while their house-made ice cream—praised for its high quality and unique flavor combinations—elevates simple coffee pairings into memorable treats. The warm, family-friendly atmosphere and genuinely fast service create that rare sweet spot where you can grab and go or settle in for slow, quality time.”

Love a good affogato and Cold Front has many yummy ice cream options to pair with espresso. They also do sundaes, milkshakes, malts, lattes, other coffees & teas. Reasonably priced and friendly staff.
This ice cream is top notch, super nostalgic experience. Customer service was spot on and parking was easy. They were super fast and did i say the ice was delicious because it definitely hit the spot
By far the BEST ice cream shop in St. Paul. High quality cream, perfect sweetness level and unique flavors. Love the old fashioned soda fountain feel.
Wow, such a delicious and fun place! We came for a fun little date, seeking ice cream and coffee, a cute atmosphere, and quality time. The coffee drink I had, the Flannel, was probably up there as one of my favorite coffee drinks of all time. Each sip was just perfection. We also split a banana split, a classic treat done right here, with the option to choose your own ice cream flavors for each scoop (we went with espresso and vanilla). I hope we can stop by again soon this summer! 🩷🩵
Even during winter Cold Front is a must stop! We got the warm brownie sundae and it was fantastic. The vanilla ice cream was really good along with the nice chewy brownie in the bottom. Topped with Carmel sauce, waffle cone pieces and whipped cream, it was just the finishing touch to make it an amazing treat.
