    Ice cream sandwich and their swirls!
    Elizabeth H.

    Love a good ice cream spot! Love an ice cream spot even more when it's 100 degrees in Nashville 10/10 would recommend the chocolate ice cream sandwich! The service was fast and they explained each sandwich is made by hand. The vibes inside are super cute with some seating and lots of outdoor seating. I'll definitely be back for the blueberry soft serve

    Cone Cept is tucked into what appears to be the basement of an old church building in the middle of a residential neighborhood. The location is unexpected enough that you wonder if Apple Maps has led you astray. But maybe it really was a church, because the ice cream is next level - possibly even holy. Ultra creamy, ridiculously good, and topped with rainbow sprinkles because apparently I'm still 9 years old when given the option. They're also lightning fast. I'm not sure I've ever seen a cone go from order to hand that quickly. Great ice cream. Weird location. Lightning-fast service. Holy ice cream. My kinda church! Amen.

    Mini blueberry vanilla swirl with Oreos and hot fudge

    Cone cept is the newest, kitschiest addition to the Eastwood Village mixed use development off Chapel Ave. A tiny but well designed spot next to the plant shop, it focuses on soft serve ice cream with fun toppings. Soft serve is my favorite style of ice cream, so I was really excited about this spot! Cone cept promises a limited selection of interesting, fresh flavors: the current menu offers vanilla, blueberry, a swirl of vanilla/blueberry, chocolate, strawberry, or a swirl of chocolate/strawberry, with a long list of traditional toppings and sauces. You can get your ice cream in a cup, sugar cone, or freshly made waffle cone, OR turn it into a sundae or shake. The ice cream really leans into soft here, and it feels quite melty as soon as you get your treat. I opted for the blueberry vanilla swirl on the rec of the associate, with crushed Oreos and hot fudge in a mini size. It was $4.39, which I thought was quite reasonable and was the perfect little sweet after lunch nearby. I wasn't particularly wowed by the flavor - the blueberry tasted a bit artificial, and as stated before, it melted incredibly quickly as I ate. The toppings were good but not particularly different than I'd get at any other ice cream shop. They have a little indoor bar-style seating, which was great as a solo visitor, or tables outside, which is better for groups. Free parking is easy on the street, and service was very helpful and quick. Overall I liked it, but it didn't wow me. Would certainly come here again when in the neighborhood, but wouldn't go out of my way for it.

    This place already gets so many points for ambiance. It was truly so cute inside with the checkered floors. The staff was so incredibly nice and helpful. They also allow you to sample any of their flavors which is nice. We got the vanilla and blueberry swirl with sprinkles and it was so good!

    I love their small sizing options!

    It's a cute little speciality shop, with a kind person checking people out with free parking! There is not much indoor seating but it is possible to find a spot to sit, several tables outside. There was something so nice about the simplicity of not a ton of flavors, but some may see this as a con - we did not! They let you taste test which is great; and didn't rush us in decision making! Our party ordered the chocolate fudge sundae (solid chocolate fudge), their blueberry vanilla swirl and their chocolate custard.

    Cute little ice cream shop in a key location where previously you'd only have Jenis to satiate your sweet tooth. They have a few places to sit outside as well as about a dozen seats around their counter. You could always sit on the walls around the building too. Greta fair weather spot to hang. Flavors are fairly limited but what I tried was good. Wife had the blueberry vanilla swirl & I had the chocolate strawberry swirl. Waffle cones looked yummy & I plan on trying one of those next time I'm around. Price was good. Staff worked quickly & were nice.

    Adorable retro inspired soft serve cafe in East Nashville !! Super cute spot with incredibly kind staff. The soft serve is super customizable and they make some of the best waffle cones i've ever had. Love the cute lil story behind this place displayed in their bathroom. There's usually a line out of the door but it's worth the wait and the line moves quick!

    Great spot!! The cutest ice cream parlor serving shakes, sundaes & soft serve ice cream. Limited indoor seating but plenty of outdoor seating. Street parking available.

    Vanilla blueberry swirl, chocolate strawberry swirl, lemon creamy
    Heather J.

    Cone Cept is a lovely little shop serving soft serve ice cream. The ice cream was yummy and I appreciated the blueberry vanilla swirl and the chocolate strawberry swirl. I did find it a little silly that toppings are extra outside of sprinkles and sea salt...as a shop that prides itself on being whimsical and providing joy I would think a few more topping options would be free. Overall, a fun spot - I'm not totally sure I would make the trip back up to it but if we were local I might stop in again.

    Twist Lil Standard
    Micki P.

    Cone-cept is a fun spot to experience at least once, especially late at night on a Friday in East. I love that they're open later than most dessert places. When my friends and I went, it was very busy--apparently the line got so long they had to call in extra staff. So we ended up waiting around 40 minutes. Even with the chaos, the staff stayed super upbeat and friendly, which honestly made a big difference! There's great outdoor seating (picnic-benches and tables), and the bathroom was clean. Parking is only street parking though, so we had to park in the nearby neighborhood. I ordered a Lil Standard with both twists (they said I was the first person to order that combo, which made me laugh), so I got to try the blueberry + vanilla twist and the chocolate + strawberry twist with sprinkles. It was alright, but I personally wasn't blown away. Might be on me for ordering all the flavors that melted together, lol My friends ordered the Mélange though and absolutely raved about it. I'd probably try that next time instead.

    Blueberry soft serve
    Christine L.

    What a gem! This was definitely one of the best soft serves I had because the blueberry flavor was fantastic. Must get!! It wasn't too sweet, tasted like a blueberry fro-yo which was what I was craving. Also I love that the blueberry flavor is blue but they don't use food coloring. In fact it's all natural as they use spirulina. I love that they have so many sizes including petite for a little taste. I got the petite but I regret it, I'll be back for a bigger size! The have a lot of toppings as well and sprinkles is free. I got the cookie dough and it was great. The staff there were also super nice, welcoming, and helpful. Can't wait to try other flavors and items in their menu. Love this addition to east Nashville.

    Blueberry vanilla swirl in a cake cone

    Don't be intimidated by the line as it moves fast! The blueberry ice cream is a must try. I ordered blueberry vanilla swirl in a cake cone with rainbow sprinkles and was not ready for how high they pile the ice cream on top. I also love the bookshop and plant shop nearby which makes it a great post shopping treat

    We went on a Friday about 7pm and it wasn't too busy. We only waited in line a few minutes. Its location is sort of tucked in a neighborhood. We both got the petites & they were only $2 each!! They were so cute & such a good deal. It was just your traditional soft serve ice cream & basic flavors. You could add toppings for $1 each. They also had cones & waffle cones. We got chocolate & blueberry & strawberry. It was the perfect amount for after dinner. It was cute & clean inside & they had several people working. Fun new ice cream place for sure!

After about a 5 minute wait, it was our turn to pick out our item. I went with the Nutella Chocolate Chunk and Cookies and Cream Cookies for the outside, and Mud Pie ice cream. I had it all toasted and they used a panini press looking thing that made it perfect! The cookies were the best part and it was a lot, easily sharable if you can find someone who likes the same combo. The staff was friendly, bathrooms clean, and would have been nice to have a self service water station.

But the Hibiscus Chili was the most underrated flavor. I think it deserves a lot more hype. The ice cream shop at this location can get very busy, but the service is extremely quick. The team at Jeni's is always patient with me, even when I am confused with all their range of flavors. I particularly love how the shop smells of baked waffle cones.

It's long, it's inevitable, and trying to fight it is a rookie mistake. Because when ice cream is this profoundly good, crowds happen. Step two: Don't panic. The crew behind the counter operates with the high-speed efficiency of a pit crew, yet somehow maintains the absolute patience of saints while you undergo an existential crisis deciding on flavors. My personal blueprint for success was all about contrast. I engineered a double-scoop masterpiece: a heavy, deeply decadent, unapologetic chocolate base, perfectly countered by a lighter, delicate second scoop to balance the universe. It was an elite flavor pivot. Delicious doesn't even cover it. Meanwhile, my wife absolutely devoured her fruit-forward flavors with a speed that felt slightly competitive. Total sensory overload in the best way possible. I'm giving this place a flawless five stars, mostly because I have to, but also because I am currently stalking the freezer aisle of my local Publix like a person possessed, trying to hunt down pints to replicate this high until I can get back to Nashville. Do your tastebuds a favor. Just get in line.

I did appreciate they gave me 2 extra cups so I was able to easily divide it for my 3 kids. The ice cream itself was fine, but nothing particularly memorable. Unfortunately, there was a noticeable rancid oil smell inside the shop, which detracted from the experience. There is plenty of indoor seating, but the space lacks much ambiance or character. On a nice day, the outdoor area is definitely the better option. One downside is parking. Much of the street parking in 12 South has recently been changed to permit-only, which is a huge bummer. There are a few spots directly in front of the shop, but your best bet is probably parking near Sevier Park and walking over. Overall, it was okay, but given the price and the experience, I wouldn't go out of my way to return.

However, as a place that does just fries and ice cream I expected the fries to be more than just good. Maybe getting a flavor would have improved them but I think the basic fry should stand out on its own. We had arrived shortly after opening the the grease from the fryer kinda filled the space as well, which wasn't the most appetizing smell but it's hard with a mostly open kitchen. The employees were really kind and the food came out quickly! I enjoyed my experience overall, but I think I had bigger expectations for the fries in my head than in reality.
