There was a good variety of several sizes and designs to choose from. Once I chose one, they offered to customize it by adding the recipient's name to it. They did a great job of matching the colors and fonts so it looked like the name was created at the same time as the rest of the cake. Although the workers were busy, they were courteous to me and waited on me right away. The person that waited on me did a great job. The only negative thing I can say about my experience was that the price of the cakes are higher than I would have expected.

They come off as a family friendly business and how nice they seem occasionally at the window, but the reality is that they are terrible people. They called the police on their employees for a problem that started with one of the owner's football team. The owner's yelled/scared the employees for trying to solve a problem and they were no help. Afterwards, approximately 50% of their staff quit. They do not take responsibility for any problems they cause, and overall treat their employees like crap. They take the employees' tips and yell at them to the extreme for no reason. This place appears as a good, small town attraction, but in reality is run by monsters and no one should support them or their business. The truth may not be known by many, but this came straight from the mouth of a previous employee. It is accurate and everyone should know what is really going on behind the scenes. Also, since COVID has become an issue, while they may have made attempts to make their business COVID friendly, they themselves as the owners do not follow the rules. I have personally witnessed them coming into stores on various occasions without masks or cares for the well-being of others. They are selfish and cruel and more people need to know the truth. read more

I have been walking driving and biking down the hill to KK for many years now and only once have I not been satisfied and that's because they were closed. Unlike DQ, you don't have to ask them to make a blizzard without chocolate syrup, and you get real portions for your money! I love what they've done in recent years with the whole classic look thing. King Kone is a staple in the city of Chardon just as much so as the Maple Festival. read more

Delicious Hershey's ice cream and giant sundaes, great low prices and helpful, entertaining staff-- this small-town ice cream shop packs BIG flavor. No visit home would be complete without a trip to King Kone; it beats the local DQ any day! And, the outdoor deck makes it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy warm summer evenings. I'm already dreaming of the cookies 'n cream and cappuccino crunch!! read more

I wasn't sure I would like the ice cream...I have my store-bought favorites. But I love the Hershey's, especially the cappuccino crunch. The soft serve is delicious as well. I especially enjoy the facelift which the new owners have given this Chardon classic.

One star is too many…read more The customer service here was extremely poor, and unfortunately that included the owner, who identified himself as Reese. This happened on a hot Friday afternoon after school was out--exactly the kind of time when you would expect an ice cream shop to be prepared for customers. There were about seven people waiting in line, all separate parties, and only one employee working the front counter. After waiting approximately 15 minutes, I asked whether any additional help was available. The employee went to the back to ask for assistance. Reese came to the front, but instead of helping serve customers, apologizing for the wait, or even putting a scoop of ice cream in a cup, he explained that he couldn't help because he was making ice cream in the back. What I found frustrating is that he had enough time to walk up front and have a conversation, but apparently not enough time to help reduce the line. On a slow Tuesday, maybe that's one thing. On a hot Friday afternoon with customers waiting and school out, it seems like exactly the wrong time to prioritize making more ice cream over serving the people who are already there trying to buy it. Waiting can be understandable. Being made to feel like your time doesn't matter is not. I ended up leaving without ordering. There are too many places that appreciate their customers for me to spend my money somewhere that doesn't. As for the ice cream, I never got the chance to try it. Based on the service alone, I'll be getting my desserts elsewhere.
