About The Original Rainbow Cone

The Original Rainbow Cone is praised as one of the best spots for ice cream, with one reviewer noting it has the best butter pecan ice cream they have ever had. The original location at 92nd and Western is described as a Chicago favorite and a tourist destination, especially busy on weekends. The signature menu item is the OG rainbow cone, which stacks multiple flavors including orange sherbet, pistachio with actual pistachios inside, strawberry with maraschino cherries mixed in, and chocolate. A junior size cone is available, offering the same flavor for a buck off on Tuesdays. The quality of the ice cream is noted as a spot on match to the south side location. Service is friendly and efficient; cashiers like R C are friendly with everyone, and Abigail was awesome, offering to help a family struggling with a photo. The location is a standalone store with a nice outdoor patio featuring a bougie fire pit and seating area. It is a great place to take kids, with a fenced in area, padded seats at picnic tables, and cone inserts to prevent messes. An Italian beef shop next door shares the same building, perfect for grabbing food and a rainbow cone for dessert.

Everyone in our group loved it. The outside area is great gor kids.

Ice cream is the best!

My family and I love the rainbow cone. Anytime I'm out in the area and heading home I always stop and grab a four pack of the rainbow cookies. We just can't get enough of them. Such a perfect combination of flavors with that outer sugar cookie crunch. If you've never tried the rainbow cone I highly recommend it.
