    Sampler $10 6 mini scoops
    Sumita B.

    Loved ordering the sampler. If you want to try several flavors, this is for you. Order at the counter and pay at register. There are several tables and bar tops along with sprinkle containers.

    This place had an AMAZING strawberry shortcake crunch ice cream. It was Sooo good. Best strawberry ice cream I've ever had. I'm literally calling them to see how I can have a custom order made for that flavor to have it delivered to me in Atlanta. It's That Good. The place was clean, & neighborhood feels. Great customer service.

    Such a fun place and great ice cream. We stopped in after a long day of softball. Line was out the door but it moved quickly and wait time was minimal. Staff helped us make great selections. We sat inside and ate. There are places outside as well. Great place for a sweet treat.

    This is amazing ice cream. Locally owned. Staff is very friendly. Even if the line is out the door, it moves fast. It's totally worth waiting in line. Just happened to get there at an off time. They will let you try the ice cream. Unfortunately, this just complicates matters. I usually "narrow down" my choices and then try a couple. Then I really can't decide. I always get a single scoop in a cup. They "cram" a lot of ice cream in that cup. So worht the money. On the tables are dispensers with sprinkles in them. My neice loved this. They also have prepackaged pints to go.

    Excellent service, great variety with plenty of flavor options & staff is friendly. Stays open later than other ice cream spots, so this is always a plus! Late night treat! The homemade waffle bowls are legit! Two locations Waukee and in West Des Moines by Jordan Creek Mall.

    Fun, lively ambiance inside, made me feel like I was on summer vacation in Florida a little bit. I have tried several flavors and all are so good!!in my opinion, I think gooey butter cake was my favorite but my friends really liked salted Oreo. You really can't go wrong though. Also some nice patio seating if it's nice out. Everyone inside was super happy and welcoming. Idk if it was a family all working together but there was definitely a nice home-y atmosphere

    Great ice cream spot! Always friendly service and plenty of options. The salted Oreo is my favorite!

    The workers here do not have any socializing skills, but the ice cream is pretty good. Thank you home sweet cone!!!!

    If you follow my posts you know that I have a real sweet tooth and I eat ice cream almost every night before bed. Therefore I had been waiting to try this place for quite some time and finally got a chance on Father's Day. It was surprisingly busy when we got inside but we were served quickly. The selection was good and the ice cream was oh so delicious! I will definitely be back here and recommend that you give the place a try!

    Well Home Sweet Cone, Iowa! Delicious homemade ice cream that brings back some great childhood memories. Visited in a Friday night and it was packed! So many flavors to choose from! I ordered the vegan strawberry in a waffle bowl and Mr W ordered a salted Oreo milkshake with Heath bar blended in. Total came to $14.xx before gratuity. Shake was a 12oz cup. And my ONE scoop was huge. Very satisfying. Everything tasted phenomenal. I appreciated the plant based/vegan options. There was vegan strawberry and vegan Oreo. And cones were vegan. Service was ok. There were several young workers and it was late. I could tell they wanted to go home and their hearts were not into serving customers anymore as it was getting to closing time. They still maintained composure and served everyone. Shop decor was clean, minimalistic and reflected a modern farmhouse feel. Seating was limited when it was packed. Shop felt small when every table was full and a line all the way to the door. I highly recommend a visit to Home Sweet Cone. One of a kind ice cream in the Waukee area.

    DF and GF ice cream options.

    Probably our favorite date night, family treat visit. Great ice cream options and especially nice that there is DF/GF options. There's usually a line and the store is normally pretty chilly. Lol. Service is great, rewards program is nice, and there's a bench to eat outside. Enjoy!

    Come here for your sweet treat!!! Great variety of flavors and dietary options. They even had seasonal flavors and good range of hours it is open. I tried the Brookie Single Scoop ($5) and it was good but nothing great. They have some indoor seating as well as some neighboring seating. Would be great during those hot summer months!

    The vanilla tasted off and had very little flavor. No need to come back here. Big disappointment.
