Nice little ice cream shop. The Brownie Batter flavor was delicious!

It is very confusing because the sign with the name is no longer on the building....so is this the same owner or business or what??
Out of vanilla and chocolate soft serve they were out of chocolate. Out of about 8-10 flavors of Perry's hard ice cream they were out of 4-5 flavors. The young lady serving was very friendly and helpful. Also the single scoop is pretty small and cost almost $5. I would not bother going out of my way to get ice cream here.
Most of the reviews for this place are pretty old.

Ordering a strawberry sundae here will get you ice cream with ice cream dip no strawberries whatsoever you may as well keep it as a cone with dip

Love this place. The soft serve is really cold, creamy, and flavorful. We got twists (which were a great balance for 50/50 chocolate and vanilla) and straight vanilla. They also gave us two free pupcups for the dogs. If I do not drive past before they close for the fall/winter I will be sure to come back as soon as they open next season.

I did not go to the pine cone. I was at Adk street eats food truck next to the pine cone. BEST FOOD EVER at the food truck. I'm sure the ice cream at the pine cone is good too. You can't screw up ice cream

A doubt about the honesty of the young waitress and no public toilets!

We took a motorcycle break there on June 23, 2023 in the middle of the afternoon. The young waitress was friendly at first and was proud to tell us that she was learning French. My wife paid for both of our orders in cash. I thought this amount was exorbitant but I told myself I would see about it later because the cream was starting to melt quickly. It was like $15.00, which was impossible. My wife went back to see her to tell her about it and the young girl immediately gave her $4.85 without any hesitation and seemed to know exactly what she meant, strange......$15.00 for a medium cone of soft cream with a cup icy, there was something fishy going on. She did not apologize and gave as an argument, irritation since there were a few customers. We could hear the sound of change in the cash register afterwards while she was alone.....

Additionally, she said she couldn't give him the receipt since we didn't pay with a debit or credit card. Doubly weird...

So for all these reasons, a reasonable doubt persists about the integrity of the young waitress who was on duty at that time.

And to add another major downside, no public toilets available for customers as evidenced by one of our photos.

We still offer you some photos.

So, remember if you have a urinary or other emergency and count the change you will be given.

Stopped for a cone and a shake and both were good. The server was very friendly.

Good sized cone, friendly people and great place

Their hard serve wasn’t my favorite. More icy than creamy. They were out of waffle cones.

We love the Pine Cone. We go there more than anywhere else.??
