It’s a hot summers day you’re ready to cool down have a treat. This place will help with that. They only take cash so be prepared with that but everything else is pretty decent. It’s a small town ice cream shop that does the trick. It can get busy but it all depends on your schedule. The milkshakes are great the soft serve ice cream are good as well. They have different options for waffle cones and toppings in general to make everybody who stops in happy enough. Go ahead give them a try and see what you think.

Enjoyed the Arctic Blast (same as a DQ Blizzard). Staff were friendly but parking lot was right up on top of seating so it wasn’t great for small kids.

Blue Cone is back open for the 2024 season. Now accepting cash Or cards.
Great little hot spot in town for a fun dessert. Ice cream treats done well.

If I could give zero I would. I usually love coming here but our family was gipped. I ordered a medium hot fudge Sunday with wet nuts, evidently the boy started making in a small plastic cup and instead of starting over dropped in a medium styrofoam cup. It barely had any wet nuts, the hot fudge was all over the inside cup rather than on the ice cream, which made a mess. Then my Husband’s medium artic swirl was not even filled to the top like everyone else’s after his. Our Daughter had 2 small round brownies for her brownie sunday, she remembers them being like homemade. I felt bad for the couple in front of us who did not get their order until 2 orders later and after the man asked about them. Sit there and watched and one lady had asked for a brownie on top of her daughter’s ice cream and had to ask them for it. I was so looking forward to ice cream from here after going walking. So disappointed. Whe it was time for us to order, instead of being attentive the young man was worried about his tips. So disappointed.

This legendary local dessert shop is actually named for the 11th century Icelandic monarch Ragnald Bluecone, the so called “Dairy King”, who is credited in the old Icelandic sagas with combining sheep’s milk and honey and then freezing it in the famous glacier Eyjafjallajokull, thus inventing ice cream. Go. Get a dipped soft serve and pay your respects to Ragnald Bluecone, Dairy King. Cash only.

We LOVE Dairy King! HOWEVER….the parking lot is a TRAGIC ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. I’m surprised their insurance provider hasn’t required them to install a safety barrier between the cars and the outside seating area. A steel railing or a series of steel posts (bollards) would prevent cars from accidentally hitting the people who are standing in line waiting to order or sitting at the tables enjoying their ice cream. With all the children running around it’s scary the way it is now. The expense of installing that protection would be little compared to the potential negligence law suits that might be filed if a tragedy happens.

I love dairy king!! The employees are so nice and kind, they are so patient and willing, and the ice cream is just as good! I love the rides in the back for kids and the seating is very comfortable! I love all of the signs and decor on the inside!

Caution you may be ripped off. We bought 2 regular ice cream soft serve cones, a large and medium (even though they were both on the small side) dipped (.75 cents for a dip) Cost was just under $18!
At the time we paid and took the cones but kept thinking can that be right? Looking online the guy definitely overcharged us.
Shame on him.
Ice cream is your average soft serve. The dip flavors were good
