The Original Rainbow Cone

The mint ice cream here is some of the best I’ve ever had…fresh, creamy, and full of flavor. The staff is extremely friendly, almost too friendly at times, which makes for a welcoming experience. The only downside is there’s no indoor seating, which makes it tough to enjoy on hot or rainy days. Still, worth the stop for the ice cream alone!

What can I say… 🤷‍♂️ Great ice cream !
I had the cosmic birthday cake and it was spot on. The pirates 🏴‍☠️ bounty was also delicious 😋

As always very good

Service was fast. There is accessible seating outside and it was clean and colorful. Just look at this ice cream sandwich!

Brody and Melaney went above and beyond and provided us with phenomenal customer service! They were both so very kind, friendly, caring, and helpful! Please make sure Brody and Melaney are recognized for their outstanding work!

Ice cream is very flavorful. There are two sizes, junior and original. I got the junior.

I stopped in today to get a scoop. It appeared closed but it was 3:45pm and the sign said it opened at 4pm. Just as we were about to leave, someone came up and said “I can help you!” I was very glad c:

Friendly staff and fun atmosphere. The ice cream is the best part!

My boyfriend and I went in for a cosmic birthday quart and a pistachio pint yesterday. We were greeted promptly by a nice young man, our order taken accurately and politely, and our ice cream was packaged up beautifully - no drips or spills or smears!!! This place was great and clean and the service was really excellent!

Good array of options in terms of cake slices, ice cream, sundaes, etc. There's a few different combo options/flavors to choose from. The pricing for a cup/cone is slightly higher, but the quantity is good.

5+5+5🌟
All I can say, it reminds me of the old days. This was very old-fashioned type flavor. Texture is fantastic, very intensely delicious. Would highly recommend. Since this is part of the Buona beef building, you got everything you need for your mental wellness, lol! Some days you just need that comfort food.

This past April marked the very 1st time trying a TORC location along with the very 1st visit to this Buona location.

I love the fact that after eating some scrumptious grub at Buona that you don't have to travel far for dessert.

The ice cream is really good here and it's a neat idea the way the ice cream on a cone is served depending on the flavor(s)

Good prices with a decent selection of flavors in a clean new facility with friendly customer service.

A great companion to Buona and I'm glad both places are a fair driving distance from my house in Beach Park just a few short miles south of the border in Lake County.

Before this venue opened, if we were in the mood for Buona/TORC it was either trek all the way out to Lakemoor or Kildeer, sheesh! Hope this place stays in business for decades to come.

A fun little treat. There is no real seating area for the rainbow cone side. They have a decent amount of outdoor seating. It's a little pricey, but you're paying for an experience, I guess. Staff was helpful, but I got the impression that our questions were not completely welcome. The ice cream itself did not taste that different from normal ice creameries. If you're going here, try a special creation to make the price worth it.

Delicious ice cream cones served inside nifty cups that contain any drips running down. I had the Palmer House flavor. It was loaded with walnuts and cherries.

This was our first time at any Original Rainbow Cone. The person working did not know what was all in some of the flavors that we asked about. They said they didn't eat ice cream so they didn't know??!?! We still ordered, but stayed away from those "unknown" flavors. We did get two waffle cones as the worker was saying how they were made fresh every day. They definitely were not made that day as they were very stale and tasted bad. We threw them away. On top of that it is very very expensive. Almost $10 for a waffle cone with two moderate size scoops. We will not be back.
