If we all screamed at once for ice cream, the resulting sonic boom would destroy the sun, turning the entire solar system into a freezer in which we could store more ice cream. Warm up your shoutin’ muscles with today's Groupon: for $5, you get $10 worth of ice cream and smoothies at Cone Brothers Ice Cream Cafe in Richfield. This Groupon expires on October 31.

The confectioners at Cone Brothers present a menu brimming with sweet ice creams and smoothies in a retro-style shop compete with vintage jukebox. These dairy devotees carry 24 flavors of Chocolate Shoppe ice cream, made from creamery farms in southwestern Wisconsin and northeastern Iowa ($2.95–$4.25 for cone or cup, $3.75–$4.95 for waffle cone). While the maple-nut ice cream mingles with real walnuts, a vanilla-based concoction dubbed Heaps of Love makes heartfelt connections between Oreos, brownies, cookie dough, pecans, caramel, and chocolate ripple. Mined directly from a powdered sugar-topped mountain, the mint avalanche mixes fresh green mint ice cream, Andes candies, and grasshopper cookies with a chocolate fudge swirl.

In the smoothie section, knowledgeable nectarists mix up Dr. Smoothie purees, made with 100% real fruit ($3.95–$4.95). The forbidden fruit smoothie blends white and pink guava with passion fruit and a hint of orange, and a Washington state red apple concoction evokes the smoothie Isaac Newton made after his fateful afternoon in the orchard.
