Nothing special, good ice cream, would not recommend over anywhere else. Parking is rough, you need to find street parking or a parking; great location if you're commuting or just walking by. Service was non-existent and poor. Cashiers looked like they did not want to be there; they were out of strawberries which is a staple in a bunch of their cones. Cashier didn't make any recommendations to other ice cream cones of modifications to make the cones work in place of missing strawberries. I had to ask a few times to figure out if I could get a certain cone without strawberries. I got the Cheesecake Cone, it was good but very messy. I'd recommend sitting down to eat. I wasn't give a napkin or spoons but you definitely need it especially if it get hotter. The price is up there for a singular cone it's about $11, they also have optional tipping that doesn't feel optional. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is clean, but lacking in keeping you around. They have tables you can stand around outside, but the objective inside seems like to get you ice cream and get out; I'm sure it makes sense during busier times.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] All in all it's good, just not great. I'd come in again and when I do I hope the customer service is better. read more

Beautiful presentation! the cone however was very stale, dry, and hard. The ice cream itself was yummy. Kinda expensive. Went in for the first time and the worker was not helpful. read more

If you like soft serve ice cream, then you may enjoy Crispy Cones. The cream was tasty and so was the caramel topping. The jury is still out about the cone. I'll have to try the original as the specialty one that I tried with vanilla Oreos wasn't all that great. I LOVE vanilla Oreos but that's not what the cone tasted like. It had a weird unexplainable taste to me. And...most of the toppings that I wanted were out. Vanilla Oreos. Butter cookie spread. Nutella topping. So I just ordered vanilla ice cream + Caramel topping and only ate the ice cream. Service was quick and friendly. No one else was in line. One person took my order and the other person made it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a small shop. No place to sit.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's worth another try...maybe. read more

If you love sweets this is the place for you!!!! As I walked in I was greeted with a smile and a friendly hello. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a cute little ice cream store.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The menu was a little confusing as to what you're actually ordering and how to order the ice cream treat. The ice cream was very tasty.. with all that comes on and in the cone it was a little sweet for me. I think if I go back again I'd ask more questions. one question I'd have is if I can pick the flavor and the options I want on and in my cone. Overall it was good, and you get a lot of ice cream. read more

First visit to Crispy Cones and the Brownie Royale was unreal! The crunchy Kit Kat pieces paired with the chewy brownie was perfection. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Loved watching the cone get made right in front of me[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and the portion was very generous. My cone wasn't as crispy as I had thought, but still good. Definitely a spot I'd go back to! read more

This was my second time trying Crispy Cones. I enjoyed the crispy cone itself, although I do feel it's overpriced at $10. We had to order at a kiosk rather than with a person, which was fine. The orders do take a few minutes to come out, so the line moved kinda slow. I like the dessert but feel kinda meh about the experience. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The store is small and there is no seating, but there are two standing tables outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Phenomenal flavor -- the Biscoff-flavored ice cream should have a permanent place on the menu (RIP when it phases off the rotating seasonal menu). I like that there were a variety of toppings, but wish you could get Biscoff as a drizzle as well as the coating inside the cone. The price seems a little steep, but the flavor made me visit twice on my short stint in the Phoenix area, and I would definitely recommend trying it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Note that you'll have to take your cone to-go, as there is no seating inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Crispy Cones - Biscoff flavored ice cream with strawberries and KitKat - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute shop, great location, but honestly won't pay a second visit[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]I ordered the "berry cheesecake," which turned out to be plain vanilla ice cream pretending to be fancy which tastes no different from Hagen Dazs, with a few strawberries and some tiny cheesecake crumbs on top. The cone, supposedly the highlight of the ice cream, was good but tasted like a plain donut doing a crossover episode at an ice cream shop. I would say overall an ordinary ice cream with extraordinary price. [[HIGHLIGHT]]And the seating situation? Two tall tables, zero chairs. There were four of us, so we ended up eating on a bench outside like homeless people while our cones slowly started melting and dripping.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

It was a unique ice cream place. The cones were different and tasty, and filling. More like a pretzel cone which was nommy. They were out of the mixed flavors so a little sade about that but it was okay. The location was clean amd staff was just one person that we saw. She seemed very tired. Overall good flavors and options, a little on the pricey side but it is in a touristy area. read more

When I get ice cream it's all about the cone! Wow these cones are so delicious, this is an absolute must try! They have basically taken a churro and made them into a cone, add ice cream, and almost any topping you can think of and you have a Crispy Cone! These are so delicious and I don't usually like Nutella but didn't mind it at all in the cone, but you can get it without also. read more

What a complete rip off! $12 for an ice cream cone. The gal working looked so miserable and unfriendly, and she didn't even prepare my order correctly. The vanilla ice cream is flavorless. Go to McDonald's. I wish I could take my tip back. Never again. read more

We visited Crispy Cones last Friday at the recommendation of my friend who saw them on social media. The menu was simple and straightforward. I went with the weekly ice cream flavor (Dulce de leche) in the March specialty cone, which was Oreo flavored. I also had cookie butter spread inside the cone and biscoff cookies jabbed into the ice cream. It was delicious. The cashier was super friendly and answered all of our questions, as it was our first time here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Though there is no seating inside of the shop, we were able to stand outside and eat at the high top tables. A little awkward but a good experience overall![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Crispy Cones - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Looks better than it tastes | The brand is centered around the cone and it left a lot to be desired. It's doughy and flavorless except for a powdered coating on the outside and dense. It wasn't light or crispy as I was expecting based on the name and photos. I was hoping croissant texture. It was more like a dry heavy cinnamon roll without the filling. I threw 90% of the cone away and I LOVE sweets so that's saying something. The soft serve was just okay. Only three flavor choices -- chocolate, vanilla and a specialty (coconut when we visited). You can customize the cone spread and toppings but one cone (with no size options) was $11+ and it asked for a tip. Plus, the people working acted like talking to you was a burden and we had to do all the ordering alone, no customer service either. It's just a gimmick that's good for IG photos but not much else. read more

Went here about 11 months ago. Really cool concept with no real complaints besides it being a little on the pricey side for ice cream, but still worth it. The idea is fun and different, and the workers were great and super nice even with how busy it was. read more

Ended up not even ordering anything fully because of the employee. We are from out of town, walked in to see the employee standing in the back not paying any attention to us. We called out for her multiple times just for her to ignore us. When we finally got her attention she gave us the most disgusting look and points at the iPad to order. We ended up just leaving and not ordering. Beyond rude. read more

I order an original crispy cone with vanilla soft serve, drizzled with cookie butter, topped with Oreo crumbles, and Nutella inside the crispy cone. It's a lot more filling than meets the eye so it's a good value but the crispy cone is very thick and not very soft. The cone was similar to chewing a pretzel that's been out for a many hours. The service is pretty slow as they assemble each cone very carefully but I appreciate the nice presentation.m of the food. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a really quick order on an iPad and there's no place to sit and enjoy the cone when you're done.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's not much inside the shop but has the typical ice cream vibe with the black and white checkered floor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I pass this place on the regular and wanted my own experience. The vanilla soft serve was delicious and the crispy cone was its own delight. The wait was minimal and spent watching the kind staff make the cones. The ambiance was chilled. Then again it's hard to be in a bad mood when ice cream is involved. The end result is the attached picture- yum! Give this place a try. read more

Stopped by today during the Tempe Festival of The Arts for a quick desert. I am Romanian so this reminded me of a Romanian-Hungarian snack called Kürtőskalács so I had to get this because it was making me nostalgic. I am used to eating the cooked dough on its own but the Nutella inside and the ice cream were a nice touch. They were so filling we actually skipped lunch due to not being hungry after eating them. If you don't like overly sweet desserts, don't get the works just get the cone on its own. The service was great, the girls were nice and quick during a busy time. No complaints! read more

I wish I could remember the young lady she was there only employee and she did a great job. She had the line moving and in good spirits and made sure everyone was happy with their purchase. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was very nice the process was smooth.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. I ordered the cookie butter with Oreos and cookie butter drizzle.. I was so mad I didn't pay attention and get the vanilla and chocolate swirl.. the chocolate was so good.. definitely something different I wasn't a fan of the cone.. good idea just not for me.. I'd go just to get the ice cream and toppings.. read more

Happened to walk by and run into this place. It was so hot outside so we stopped for ice cream. This place is different, it has sugared bread as the cone. I got my vanilla with Nutella and wife had vanilla with almonds. Ice cream was good. The bread was good until it got half way through to the bottom and just got mushy and messy everywhere. Good treat but I prefer a regular cone next time. Service was great. The man was very nice and sweet. read more

I'd give it ZERO STARS if possible. Absolutely disgusting, minimal amount of toppings (like literally 5 pieces individually hand stuck into the soft service basic ice cream), basic boring topping choices, all for $12!!!

Crispy Cones - Vanilla soft serve with biscoff syrup, drizzle and crumbles in a cinnamon sugar cone - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Crispy Cones was not on my list to try, but I went on the recommendation of a friend. Unfortunately, I'll have less trust in their future recommendations after this experience. The prices were high particularly considering the menu steers customers towards a cone with spread, ice cream, toppings, and sauce that costs $11. There's no interaction with staff during ordering, so don't expect to try different ice cream flavors like you may anywhere else. The cones are elaborate, and it takes a few minutes to craft each cone, so the first person in your group might be done before the last person gets their dessert if you come with a large party. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ice cream is best when it's hot out, but there's no indoor seating or standing room, so plan on standing outside in 100 degree summer weather.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's common for ice cream spots to offer water: Crispy Cones had none. The actual dessert is delicious. However, we have other ice cream spots in the Phoenix metro area that are on par with the best in the country, and Crispy Cones falls short on a number of levels. I won't be back. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is nice because it's open late, but beware.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Soft serve ice cream was good, but you get almost no toppings. The cone which they are known for is decent but altogether not worth $11. Very simple menu, alright if you're desperate for late night ice cream, but otherwise save your money. read more

This was my first time at crispy cones. I got the vanilla ice cream with biscoff cookies and biscoff cookie butter (biscoff snob if you couldn't tell). The cone itself tasted more like a donut and wasn't as crispy as I thought it would be. Cool concept. read more

I had seen nothing but great things about this concept on Instagram. Came here after dinner tonight and was disappointed in the experience. First of all, cones were not crispy at all. More like eating a donut. Employee making the orders could've been a bit more friendly to all walks of life. More flavors would be great instead of basic chocolate, vanilla and swirl. read more

I cut out an article about Crispy Cones over a year before we actually visited on a trip to Arizona. It was on my foodie bucket list. We ended up closest to the Tempe location, which is near ASU, in the shopping/restaurant district for the University. Parking is tricky. Besides the construction going on in front of Crispy Cones, making everything more difficult, it would be nearly impossible to find street parking. However, we drove around the block behind Crispy Cones and my husband waited in the car while I went to get my cone. The only troublesome issue I see with this particular location is the parking. There were 5 people huddled around the door when I went in, waiting for their cones. I didn't quite understand the "system" when I first arrived, and after wasting some time near the door, I realized I needed to go to the back of the location to order from a kiosk. It is probably easiest to just order one of their "prepared" cones, but I had done a little research and knew what I wanted. They did ask if I needed help with the kiosk ordering, but I found it quite simple. My cone ended up being $14.00. Yes, pricey for a cone. And as far as I can tell, the least expensive choice is probably around $11.00. Then I waited as the very nice gal made my cone in front of me. Once I figured out the ordering process, everything was quite fast, though it seemed like a lot for one employee. The cone lived up to my expectations. The crispy cone part of it was delicious! Much like a sugar doughnut. The ice cream and toppings were delicious and fun, and overall I was not disappointed. It is a LARGE cone. While it was expensive, for what I got it didn't seem crazy. It was very tasty and the experience was fun! I would recommend it, just don't be me and pay attention to the process when you walk in. I almost felt like the ordering kiosk should be at the front of the store and the people waiting should be in the back, just because everyone congregates at the door, more or less blocking everyone coming in. Minor problem! But worth the time, effort, and cost, I personally thought. If you are considering the Crispy Cone experience, I recommend doing it, and just be patient finding a place to park. read more

I was not impressed at all. I had high expectations as the photos looked delicious but when ordering a crispy cone with swirl ice cream, I was very underwhelmed.
