Kevin Barrett
North End Business Owner
Dar's Double Scoop has been located in Saint Paul on the corner of Rice and Cook across from Lawson park since it opened in July of 2005. Dar's is owned and operated by long time North End resident Kevin Barrett, who provides a family dining experience where birthday parties or group events with lots of kids are always welcome.
What people may not know is that Kevin Barrett is an extraordinarily generous and kind person, donating ice cream and food to community events throughout the neighborhood. If you ever stop by Dar’s Double Scoop you will also just how at home our local residents feel there. It is a “spot” where you will no doubt run into neighbors and friends, and perhaps represents the best representation of residents of any business in the neighborhood.
VOICES OF THE NORTH END is dedicated to raising the visibility of North End residents and community goers. Over the past few years In Progress interviewed and photographed individuals and families that consider the neighborhood their home. In Progress worked in partnership with the City of Saint Paul to identify residents willing to share their stories about what they appreciate most about the neighborhood.
VOICES OF THE NORTH END is sponsored by the Knight Foundation and Saint Paul Foundation
