I asked for a banana split and rainbow cone, how if you guys cut the banana in half, don’t see that is black and rotten?!? I go back inside to ask them to please exchange it because stuff is not cheap or free and I get an even more rotten banana, how do you serve that to your customers, I go back to ask for a refund, only to realize after I left that I was refunded for the freaking ice cream cone when I paid for a banana split, no more The Original Rainbow Cone for us, just freaking pathetic!!! Forgot to add the person that made the banana split AND refunded me the wrong item was the MANAGER….

So disappointed. Been coming here for years. Went today for a 6′ ice cream cake roll and I felt it was a little short, didn’t expect it to not even be 5′.

How can you not stop and try an original rainbow cone while venturing through Chicago!?!
5 flavors tall the original 1920’s way.
A fun and different way to eat it on a cone. Check out the Palmer House flavor; vanilla studded with cherries and walnuts.

I use to come here last year all the time just to grab their donuts because they were hot and fresh. But the recent two times I went I was very disappointed. I went there over the summer and back in November and I was very disappointed to find out that they no longer make the donuts fresh. They pre make them earlier that day and just reheat them. When I first saw them do this over the summer I thought well maybe it’ll still taste like how it use to, but I was very wrong it was dry and just didn’t taste right. I tried returning hoping things had changed and I was wrong. Once I saw that they were taking the premade donuts and just putting them in to reheat I stopped the young lady and asked her “Are they not fresh?” And she replied “sorry they aren’t”, so with that being I said I didn’t want them and she gave me an ice cream instead. I feel that they should take down the sign that they have in the window saying that their donuts are fresh because they definitely aren’t.

Never thought I’d see the day that rainbow cone will deliver to you, I love their ice cream I eat it and check my blood sugar and it’s lower than if I was to have a bottle of Gatorade much much lower rainbow cone is the best ice cream I’ve ever eaten I love it

Nice place. When we came we were the only ones there. The staff were very nice and very quick with our order. The amount we got was definitely worth the amount we paid. The ice cream was absolutely delicious and I will definitely be coming back with my family again.

Cool place, unique tastes, yet it didn’t seem unique enough to go a second time. The place seems a little dusty and run down. The windows need cleaned, not all of the lights seemed to be on and I didn’t even know it was open at the time. Walked in because of the appearance. Later that day, I felt a bit sick but not sure if it was the ice cream.

My girlfriend and I decided to give the original rainbow cone a try! I will say I enjoyed every bit of the cone. The flavors were amazing and the bench’s outside and the music playing out of the speakers really made me think of the past. Music was definitely great with the cones we had!

This place is something else. Officially the best ice cream I’ve ever had hands down. We have only gone to cold stone as our go to ice cream place and my daughter has officially stated that she doesn’t want ice cream from anywhere else but here ever again. We went yesterday and came back today. The service is also next level and so is the swiftness of getting through drive thru even if it looks like a long line. Very fast and efficient. We are permanent customers! Don’t walk, run here!

First time trying and I can’t wait until I visit again. I got a small cone with the 5 blends they are known for. I’m very happy I got to try it!
