Ivanna cone checks a lot boxes for ice cream lovers. They have a good unique selection of flavors, many cones to choose from, gluten free options, fun interior design, welcoming space, and even merchandise for guests to purchase! It's located at the hay market in an old building along with other businesses. Not only can you indulge in yummy ice cream, you can explore different shops and restaurants after! The employees were friendly and probably annoyed at me for not knowing what I wanted lol. So I ordered the mini ice cream flight with six different flavors. My favorite was the peppermint brownie batter. They also offer samples which is a plus in my book. :) read more

Cute little hole in the wall type place, the location is nice being downtown. Ice cream was okay, nothing special was just ice cream but satisfy the sweet tooth. read more

Mint kit kat, yummy! Hubs loved the cinnamon & strawberry! Fun shop in Haymarket District! read more

This place never disappoints! Tried out a new flavor this time and it was really good. I got the piña colada and it was a good balance between pineapple and coconut without being overly sweet. The staff was super nice and there wasn't a line when we got there. read more

I am the worst ice cream critic as I basically like everything, but when it comes to homemade ice cream I am even worse. Bunch of unique flavors this evening including a juniper lime which was out of sight and my gingerbread cookie with sprinkles and chunks of cookie. Homemade ice cream can take on a cheese like texture which is stringy, chewy with all the cold deliciousness your used to... read more

This place does everything right. Not only is the ice cream fantastic, but they offer you a 4% discount for paying with cash, which is a breath of fresh air from the jamming a credit card fee down your throat after the fact. Tip culture is out of control - at this place, they went out of their way to point out that tipping is optional and how to skip the menu. I did tip, BTW. read more

Wow! Tried 6 in our group-- strawberry brie was superb, as was the cinnamon. Dutch chocolate shake was textbook-- and should be for $10+. Pricey but *fantastic*. read more

Grabbed some ice cream here while in Lincoln. The place is funky and fun and the service was kind. I got a scoop of caramel delight latte, which was coffee ice cream with pieces of Girl Scout cookie in it. It was very good and I would definitely order it again! Stop by for a sweet if in the haymarket. read more

Came here with the family after dinner. They are heavy on COVID protocols, require a mask but have masks at the door. They have plastic sheeting up as a barrier. They have unique flavors that seem to change daily. I opted for the woodland, which was a weird combo of raspberry, coffee grounds and cookies. The waffle cones were amazing. For 10 of us it was $67. Not bad. read more

I walked in for my birthday, was looking for something around the Butter Pecan realm of flavors. Was suggested I get the Cashew Butter. Knock your dick off good. No question about it. Cashew Butter 8.8/10 read more

THE best ice cream possibly ever! I usually prefer gelato but it's super hard to find a good one. I had the mint cherry chip which is a bit weird but I loved it. I also had the salted maple which is so deliciously magnificent that I may never forget it. read more

Excellent ice cream, nice folks behind the counter and a great view from the seating area.

Really cool location and nice staff. A friend and I went and I got some sort of green tea flavor with mandarin orange and golden Oreo bits, I was honestly expecting it to be... interesting... but it was just really good and the flavors went together really well which was surprising. read more

Delicious ice cream! One of the best ice cream that I have ever had. A surprise from the trip passing through Lincoln NE in a hot summer day of 100 degree! The ice cream store itself is an art too! Definitely worth visiting if you drive through this area. Green apple Sorbet is very tasty choice without Calorie guilt . People in the store are friendly too. Will definitely revisit if ever passing by again. read more

Probably doesn't need another 5-star review, but it absolutely deserves it. :) Ivanna Cone makes my heart sing. On a cold, blustery evening on Thanksgiving weekend, we were in Lincoln visiting extended family for the holiday. Despite the chilly weather, I am SO happy we came inside to this adorable ice cream shop! Pro-tip, try the waffle cone. It's made with cinnamon sugar, making it truly a delight! All their ice creams are made in-house. I also love that they use real, metal tasting spoons (hooray sustainability). Service is kind and so friendly! Be sure to take a look around the shop for all the fun art. :) read more

One of a kind ice cream shoppe. Best place in Lincoln for ice cream. Great location in the Hay Market. The best thing is they have free condums lol. It's so random. The cinnamon flavor is my favorite. Service is fast and quick. read more

Ivanna Cone - Cinnamon ice cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

Ice cream was good, the employees were not. I witnessed one of the employees publicly complain about a customer to another employee about him. The customer visibly had a cognitive disability and when looking to pay, he needed some extra time to sort his affairs. The employee immediately went to her counterpart retelling the story with the customer saying "it was the longest five minutes of my life". The story was recounted in front of customers with no discretion. For an establishment that claims to be inclusive and support diversity, it does not reflect in the employee-base it hires. The actions of this employee was highly unprofessional and really discouraging to see read more

It's a great place to get ice cream It has an old style ice cream machine that you can see Im severely lactose intolerant to dairy so they have choices for non dairy which is great cuz I can't have dairy read more

Some of the best handmade ice cream in Lincoln. Have not been disappointed any time I have been in the area and dropped by. If you are a coffee lover, get the coffee ice cream when they have it. Some of the best I have ever had, and I try it every place that has it. If you want to feel adventurous, try the Taro ice cream when they have it. It's a slightly nutty flavor but different in a hard way to describe, but amazing. I had two scoops and could have finished a gallon of it was in front of me. They are one of the only places that have that and other unique flavors in the area that I have found. The flavors do rotate and you do have to go in and take a gamble they don't have one your craving. It's a love/hate, you end up getting another flavor and finding yet another one you love. Prices are extremely reasonable for the work that goes into making handmade unique flavors. read more

Ivanna Cone - Taro Ice Cream - Double Scoop - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

The ice cream was good (taste wise) sort of but something was wrong with it. It was overly soft (softer than soft serve) and liquified almost instantly (it didn't even survive the way to my car which was just outside); I questioned if something was wrong with the freezer or the ice cream itself but they said no that's just how the ice cream was. I've gone on hotter days and it's never been this soft. So I feel sort of lied to about this. They even knew it was to soft because they said "sorry it's to soft right now to be in a cone so here's a cup". I think something was wrong with the freezer or the ice cream. read more

Bring cash. I can't stress that enough. You would think I would remember but I don't. An ATM is located just outside the door for people like ms. It's a cute little shop on the main floor. The ice cream is good. The atmosphere is good. Happy children go to Ivanna Cone. read more

This is a must do when I'm in Lincoln. It's the cutest little ice cream shop. It makes you feel like you are going back in time, but with a hip-vibe. Located in the happening Haymarket district there is ample public parking available. When you get there they will allow you sample pretty much anything on a teeny tiny spoon. One of my favorite things here is the rosewater flavored ice cream. I LOVE rosewater and it's usually really hard to find in anything, let alone an ice cream flavor! They d on't always have it, but when they do I highly recommend for a very unique experience. I've also sampled the waffle cones (yum!) and several of the sorbets for a little bit of a lighter dessert. Make sure if you are in the Haymarket that you stop here! It's truly a gem! read more

Great place to go for ice cream. The ice cream is so creamy, you can taste the care they put into crafting their ice creams. Flavors rotate periodically: they make a batch and it is in the menu until it sells out. The first time we went we absolutely loved all the flavors we had. The next time the flavors were not a great as the first time we went. The flavors are creative and not typical ones you can find anywhere else. They are in a fun area of Lincoln. read more

This is always one of the highlights of Lincoln when we come for our yearly Bible convention. It's so good and always packed! Can't wait to see what they have when we go this year! read more

I was so looking forward to having a great experience here. ND stuff is great the decorations are great, the ice cream OK it's average it was nothing to write home about. I was disappointed . I guess it depends on what your expectations are mine were higher. read more

The ice cream was great.... However, the service was the worst I've ever received. The employee yelled at us for coming when a group of 20. He accused us for being bad customers for not calling ahead and warning them that a group of 20 was coming in. Once again, ice cream was good but definitely will not be bringing customers back because of the attitude and shaming put on us read more

Our local friends brought us here for a little dessert after dinner. They served handmade ice cream. I would say that most of the ice cream that I've consumed in my lifetime were mass produced, Dreyer's, Ben and Jerry's, and other various brands. *Malted Vanilla Waffle Cone* I got a single scoops of malted vanilla in a waffle cone. I love vanilla and I think putting it in a waffle one made it taste many times better. I honestly couldn't tell the difference between handmade or mass produced ice cream, but it was definitely good. Since it wasn't outrageously priced, I thought it wasn't a bad deal. It wasn't crowded on a Sunday evening and the servers were pretty friendly. I would say that it was a great spot to get a little treat. Please note that they only accept cash. read more

Ivanna Cone - Single scoop of Malted Vanilla in a waffle cone - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

$6 for two scoops in a waffle cone?! Deal! The ice cream in churned in store (they have a couple barrels going in the front of the store). It's so thick and rich and has a nice almost gelato-y pull to it with each scoop. I got pecan pie, which had small bits of pecan in it and not overly sweet like pecan pie can be (they didn't have butter pecan which is my go to at any ice cream shop) and coffee flavor. Coffee was actually bitter and tasted like real coffee! Cute monster themed decor and little toys for the kids. Seems like they were over staffed as there were at least 5 ppl behind the counter but I'm sure they get busy at times. The building they are in is an old cute historic building. read more

We came in 1 day after walking the farmers market. It's quiet whimsical to say the least. I wasn't ecstatic about their flavors or the ice cream itself. I'm likely not making a point to go back unless in the area and with someone who wants to stop in. read more

CASH ONLY!! I always thought Ivanna Cone was the best homemade ice cream, but now that I've grown up a bit more and traveled/lived elsewhere, I have to say it's good, it's unique, and its dependable- but perhaps not the best thing ever (Although I would solidly agree with it being one of the best in Lincoln). A few critiques on the ice cream from my last visit: fresh strawberry. The taste was good, but subtle. I think I would have liked more of that strawberry flavor and chunks of fruit, I dont think my single scoop cone had any fruit in it. The texture was soft, as I know many homemade-with-real-cream can be, but I think it would have been better a bit more frozen and hard. As soon as I walked into the sunshine to enjoy it, it was running down my fingers. One shouldnt be limited to eating the icecream inside the AC. Despite my few recommendations, Ivanna Cone is in a prime location in the Haymarket for date nights, college and high school kids, and families out for a dinner or lunch. It fits the ambience of the Haymarket and I love that they make it from scratch. I would still come here over any chain ice cream because I value the homemade standard and the hard work of a small business. They do have some unique flavors too. read more

I've been in here a few times since moving to Lincoln and have yet to be disappointed. They have some amazing ice cream flavors that change frequently. Last weekend when we were in there my friend ordered this bright green lucky charms ice cream and loved it. They specify gluten free and vegan ice creams and there are usually several options. Naturally you have to order it in a dish and stay away from their amazing homemade waffle cones. You can also get tastings of any flavors you're pondering, and the people who work there have always been friendly and patient. Price is reasonable and the shop itself has cute decorations and places to sit. Only problem is they are cash only so don't forget to bring some! read more

The place may look too busy and less attractive, but Ivanna Cone I can bet is your absolute favorite ice cream place! They serve the best ice cream arguably around Lincoln. I say this because I have also visited a couple of other ice cream parlors, those probably have more beautiful spaces, but Ivanna Cones gets my taste buds anytime. I like the fact that they have so many fun flavors and a huge variety to choose from. Whenever I need a sweet pick-me-up, it's the perfect spot to go. Their ice cream is simply amazing. I highly recommend it for its delicious flavors and the awesome experience they provide. I can't wait to go back and try more flavors on their menu. I'll be telling all my friends and family about this place. Keep up the fantastic work! read more

This ice cream changed my view on food it made me want to live on the shop. The ice cream was very soft and creamy

The ice cream itself was solid but it was very overpriced and the service was weirdly standoffish.

I want Ivanna Cone for the rest of my life!! This ice cream shop was full of delicious homemade ice cream with creative flavors! Oh, and did I mention the homemade waffle cones?! This very eclectic, hipster ice cream shop was a hit! The smell of homemade waffle cones was amazing; I had to have one. I chose the Pralines and Cream flavor, one scoop, in a waffle cone. And I loved it! There is also a walk-up window to order ice cream from this cool alley with art and string lights (how cool is that?!). However, it was 100 degrees when we were there, and we opted to order and eat inside. The only ice cream that I've had that was better was Salt and Straw in Portland, OR. I would highly recommend a stop at Ivanna Cone! read more

Ivanna Cone doesn't have quite as many ice creams to choose from as some other shops. Also, they will not accept your credit or debit card as payment, so make sure you have some cash. I tried a flight of ice cream, which is a neat feature where you get a small portion of several flavors so you can try different things. The selection is pretty limited so I actually had trouble finding 6 that I would like. How was the ice cream? It was fine. Out of the 6 I tried, I liked 2 of them enough to finish them. The others I left more of than I ate. If I were to go here again I would definitely choose just one flavor that I'd sampled to be sure I'd like it. They do have some pretty weird ones to choose from too. This is usually a plus for me, but there was just something lacking in the execution of some flavor combinations. "A-OK" fits the bill for how I felt about this establishment. read more

Another great find in Lincoln -- top notch Dutch chocolate and rhubarb pans cotta ice creams. Too delicious to get a photo :)

Ice cream is gummy. Wish the quality is better. We are used to the Haagen Dazs, which is creamy, not gummy. Location is fantastic.
