Excellent ambience and a wide variety of any flavour ice cream you could ever want! Prices are very reasonable compared with other places.

Delicious Pralines and Cream!!!

Great ice cream, tons of flavors and not just your normal/typical flavors. The 2 teenage boys working could use a bit of an attitude adjustment, as they seemed pretty annoyed to serve us, and we were the only ones there.

This is the best ice cream place in the Charlotte region! It’s so much fun coming here in the summer.

Such a Great local place- 40 years and counting!! It's just down the road from my grandparents so I always take time to eat here when back home. Have started taking my little niece and nephew up there now too. The peppermint milk shake is my current favorite but can't go wrong with any of the options.

5 stars for the place being absolutely spotless. You can tell they go to great lengths to keep this place tip-top. My kids love the train here, hopefully the owners will fix that soon. The ice cream os alwa6a good ans the prices are fair. Side note: we usually spend 5 bucks on the toy machines. They are in desperate need of servicing. They are super chill about giving you a refund but about 90 percent of the machines are broke.

Great staff and fast service. Try to go whenever I'm in town. Got the Reese's sundae and almost could not finish it.
Step back in time at this Main Street Cornelius icon. Carolina Cones has been here for decades and for good reason: it's everyone's favorite locally owned scoop shop! Two counters with red soda shop stools, colorful vintage booths, and outdoor umbrella tables provide plenty of seating. Your favorites are here: cookie dough, mint chocolate chip, and butter pecan just to name a few. But they also serve up hot mini doughnuts, shakes, sundaes, soft serve, boats, and even Starbucks coffee. The prices are so reasonable. About $4 for a generous double scoop in a sugar cone. They even have an adjacent garden center with seasonal plants that are different than Lowes or Home Depot. I always come here for spring flowers. Lots of cute vintage toy vending machines give the kids somewhere fun to spend their allowance quarters on fake tattoos and mood rings. An old train track runs on the ceiling here - IYKYK - and I hope it never comes down. Pro tip: don't miss the playground on the side of the building for after that sugar rush hits. Thanks, Carolina Cones, for staying true to your roots and giving us the perfect scoop shop to bring our out of town visitors looking to meet the real NC. The nostalgia is real.

First time here and i already cant wait to go back. The guys that were working were very nice, helpful, and funny! The ice cream was delicious. I had Lemon Bar flavor, which ive never seen before. I am glad i tried it - it was very good and refreshing on this 91° day. Good amount of parking and easy to get to. Inside and outside seating. Definitely recommend this place

If you come to NC and you don’t eat ice cream here, your trip is not complete! This is a ‘50’s feel family owned ice cream parlor with indoor and outdoor sitting. They have a vast swlection of amazing flavors and games for kids to play. I stop every single time I pass through Cornelius.
