Come because you're stuck in Excelsior; stay because it's impossible to find a better club sandwich and call-your-own shake for $7.50. Anywhere.

Ill take two (maybe three) scoops of Adele's Chocolate Raspberry Truffle frozen custard, anyday.
Adele's, you are rather perfect, especially in the summertime, when I'm craving your delicious ice cream! Located in Excelsior, Adele's is just walking distance from Lake Minnetonka. They have over 80 flavors of custard, yet they only make a few flavors a day, to keep everything fresh.
I've spent many nights on their patio, and have even gone the drive through route as well. Ice cream, drive through style.. seriously, how cool is that?
Note: You can custom order flavors (1 gallon or more), if you're craving something not on their daily menu. Strawberry Shortcake, German Chocolate Cake, and French Silk Pie, are ones I need to try (& possibly order) next. -

You'll find Adele's Frozen Custard nestled within the serene lakeside city of of Excelsior, Minnesota. I really like Adele's because it's off of the beaten path here. You actually have to walk a little ways to get to it from the heart of the tiny town. It's an actual destination and not something you just walk past.
Adele's is the perfect first stop on your weekend day trip to Excelsior. One of the great little secrets of Minneapolis. Pull into the drive-through and order a frozen custard and then drive to the little downtown and enjoy the little shops as the fresh summer breeze comes in off the lake as the sun hits your shoulders. One taste of Adele's frozen custard and you'll know that life is good. I recommend the Turtle Sundae although you honestly can't go wrong with anything here.
The really great thing about Adele's is not only can you order through the drive-through but you can also order inside from one of the friendly employees then sit on the lovely patio and just take a deep breath and enjoy the day as it passes by.
The vibe is great, you'll love this place, thank me later.Listed in: Best Ice Cream Joints in the…

We really enjoyed both the atmosphere and the ice cream here. The patio was very nice, and that bungalow building gave this place kind of like a small town hang out feeling.
I tried the chocolate raspberry truffle and coconut frozen custard. Between the two, I like the former better. It had very nice flavor combination but not too overly sweet. The coconut was also nice, smooth, and not too sweet but i didnt think the coconut flavor was totally there. I guess what I liked the most about the ice cream here was that it was not too sweet so it was very enjoyable. My bf got the turtle sundae and he absolutely loved it.
If we lived closer to the place, we would have come here more often. -

It had been a year--at least--since we were last here. Driving on the opposite side of the lake, we fixed our path directly to Adele's in Excelsior. Remembering and reciting our past favorite flavors of the day, we wondered what flavors awaited us.
Surprisingly there was only one car ahead of us. (You can go inside for tables, eat in your car, or take it to go.) We did the drive through.
Eagerly we read the day's flavor postings: French Toast; Dirt and Worms, Gooey Cluster, and one not so memorable. We enjoyed one of each and weren't disappointed. The Worms & Dirt were crushed Oreo's with gummy worms and quite tasty. French Toast was a french vanilla base with Swirls of cinnamon and pieces of cinnamon bread. The favorite was Gooey Cluster which was a chocolate malt base with chocolate swirl and peanuts--in reverence to the "Nut-Gooey Cluster" candy.
My all-time favorite was Concord Grape Custard, but I only found it one time! Flavors change quite often and they clearly haven't lost their culinary playfulness!
Go-on. You owe it to yourself..... -

Even with my lactose intolerant digestive system, I can never avoid a good ice cream place. To me, it's worth the flatulence, upset stomach and other undesirable side effects. My wife, well she's never too happy when she's in the car after a run to an ice cream vendor or malt shop. She tolerates it...because she loves me or because she loves ice cream just as much as I do.
I'm glad to say that Adele's Frozen Custard is a great place to feel the pain of a lactose intolerant tummy. Their soft serve frozen custard is creamy and cools you down on a hot summer afternoon. My wife had a simple scoop cradled by a crunchy waffle cone. I had caramel drizzled over my scoop of dreaminess.
Outdoor seating. Away from the Excelsior crowd. Good place to top off the a day of shopping, boating and eating on Excelsior.
The car ride back was no fun for my wife. -

I would walk a few miles to obtain even a single scoop of Adele's creamy frozen treats. And since I only live a few miles from Adele's that makes this easy. It also helps me burn some of calories I just consumed.
Daily flavor specials makes this place perfect for people like me, who are constantly wanting to try something new. They have a flavor calender on their website so you can premeditate your custard consumption.
Best Flavors: Peach, Butter Pecan, Pistachio, Rum Cherry, Honey Almond, Chocolate Amaretto, Blue Moon, Banana Royale, and Lemon Chiffon. -

Chancing upon one of the rare opportunities to snag a "first to review" honor, I had to seize the moment!
As my coworker and I hunted around for some post-dinner ice cream offerings, this place came up in the search result. Located about 20 minutes away from Eden Prairie, Adele's Frozen Custard Old Fashion Ice cream is housed in a wooden house with outdoor seats aplenty and a drive thru! When we first arrived at 8:15pm or so, the place was already busy taking orders. By the time 8:30pm struck, the parking lot was full and the drive thru had a line. All this for the Frozen Custards.
For those wondering what Frozen Custards are, here's a link to the wiki http://en.wikipedia.or.... Without insulting this dessert, it's basically ice cream that's richer and sweeter. The concretes came in a pretty large serving and I really couldn't finish it. It's fairly impressive because there's a machine that's churning out the frozen custard right in the store. They also offer frozen yogurts too.
Next thing to note is that they have a full schedule of the different special flavors of the day. You'd need a calendar to keep up with all those flavors. I think the ice cream may have been a bit too heavy for me, so I'm going to go for the frozen yogurt next time... -

Adele's is soooooooo delicious. MMM! The custard is just so incredibly amazing I crave it and run straight there when I get back in town. I always order too much and feel super full after eating there, but it is worth it!

I tell everyone I know about Adele's! Such a great place to come and sit outside in the summer while enjoying some custard. I love that the menu changes daily! Great frozen custard pies too! Always a hit at parties.
