Sweet Science Ice Cream is now available for purchase by the scoop at the little stand on the lower level of the Como Pavilion, facing the lake at 1360 Lexington Pkwy North in St. Paul. It will be open 2 to 9 pm Monday through Friday and noon to 9 pm on the weekends.

Ashlee Olds’ inspired a feverishly devoted legion of ice cream fans when she first began hosting free samplings of her ultra-rich, smooth and fun-flavored Sweet Science ice cream. Because she didn’t have the licensing to sell her pear riesling sorbet, rhubarb almond crunch or roasted banana sherbert, she could only share the scoops at first. Eventually, Sweet Science found its way onto retailer shelves and now pints can be purchased at Kowalski’s. Fans thought they had to wait for the long-awaited opening of Keg & Case, the new food hall inside the old Schmidt Brewery to buy a proper scoop, but that changed over the holiday weekend.

The Keg & Case shop is still on track to open near the end of June or early July as the remake of the Schmidt Brewery continues. In addition to Sweet Science the project will hold a coffee shop from Five Watt and a restaurant from the Corner Table team called In Bloom.
