For their prices, their soft serve is unbeatable and they have rotating flavors. Super creamy soft serve too! I love the texture. This cone was just $5 read more

King Kone - Coffee cake - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Merrimack, New Hampshire

Must try! I first heard of this place from Instagram and when I was in the area, I made it a point to stop in. Was it worth it? Absolutely! The serving sizes are huge, so be aware when you are ordering - especially for kids! I love that there are different soft serve flavors every week and they are posted online so you can check before you go. The service was fast and there was plenty of parking - we went during the middle of the day in the summer, there were no lines. I'm not sure how it gets in the evening after dinner. We ate at the tables outside, they were nice and clean. Will stop in again if I'm in the area! read more

Whenever I have to go to Merrimack, I plan my errands around stopping in at King Kone for their delicious soft serve. The flavors change weekly, so check their instagram for the latest ones. The peanut butter is my favorite! During my most recent visit, I had a delectable kiddie size lime/berry swirl cone. Yes-kiddie size because the portions are humongous! My husband got chocolate/mint which was also quite good. Prices are very modest, so make sure you tip the staff well! Note that King Kone is open seasonally. It has a tiny parking lot, which can get filled up quickly when the weather is lovely. Seating is sparse, so many opt to sit in their vehicles. read more

King Kone - Exterior - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Merrimack, New Hampshire

Soft serve only with limited flavors. Large portions so choose wisely. They take cards. A few tables out front. Looks like they serve food. The chocolate mocha frappe was just ok so I'll chock that up to soft serve vs hard ice cream for the lack of flavor. Eating more like a 3.5. Worth a stop if you are craving soft serve. read more

King Kone - Kiddie cup w cherry dip - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Merrimack, New Hampshire

For such a small ice cream stand, King Kone was packed! The line looked long at first, but it moved incredibly fast -- so fast that my daughter had her ice cream in hand before I even finished paying for the rest of the family. The service was impressively quick and friendly. They accept both cash and credit, which is convenient. I ordered a small hot fudge sundae, and it was so generously sized it felt more like a large! Great value for the price. The only minor downside is that they offer fewer than 10 softserve ice cream flavors, so choices are a bit limited -- but everything we tried was delicious. They also serve food, which is a nice bonus. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area! read more

King Kone - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Merrimack, New Hampshire

Never disappoints! Ice cream is delicious and LOVE that they now offer a "baby" size along with the kiddie! Their coffee ice cream is my favorite. Also love getting their tacos! They're simple but still so good! Staff is always friendly too! read more

Edible, but not terribly enjoyable. Had the pineapple as well as a chocolate vanilla swirl. Was expecting something a little more fruity for the pineapple, but was more creamy and had an artificial fruit taste. The chocolate and vanilla were pretty meh and not creamy enough. Would take Costco soft serve over this any day. Parking lot was overflowing and there was a constant stream of cars coming in at 8pm on a Wednesday. Service was quick and the staff was friendly. read more

No frills soft serve. I had javaberry which was coffee and black raspberry swirl soft serve. Holy crap it was perfect! My two most fave flavors in one cup!! Parking is tight on a warm day but it's worth it to park in the street and grab some soft serve. read more

You know I went back and forth in deciding to write this. I'm trying not to be so negative. I've passed by King Kone numerous times when I am here on business. With this awesome heat wave hitting i thought yesterday was the perfect time to check them out. Soft serve ice cream reminded me of the days when Mr. Softy would come around And holy cow the amount of ice cream they pile on is insane. I'm truly glad there were pictograms taped to the window because I would have had no idea that a small was so huge. And they have sprinkles! Yay! Long line, but the employees were so efficient. And friendly. So Mark, "Why only one star, then?" I'm sure you're thinking. Well let me tell you: Credit Card Surcharge. Processing fees for credit cards are just part of doing business. I'm not paying your fees. And I'm certainly not paying a $.40 surcharge on a $5.95 cone. That's a 6.7% fee. First of all companies are not allowed to charge more than their processing fees. If you're paying 7% you're getting robbed. But you're not going to rob me in return. Secondly, credit card surcharges aren't allowed in debit cards. Ever. I informed the girl I was using a debit card. She said it didn't matter. If you don't want to pay your fees then become a cash only business. It's that simple. There are a myriad of reasons businesses choose to accept credit cards. I'm sure you can Google them. But one fact is accepting credit cards increases business which brings in more revenue. This in of itself means more profits. And the extra sales far outweighs the cost of transaction fees. So sadly you get a 1 and a chargeback because I am that petty. I will contact my bank, let them know you charged me a credit card fee on my debit card, and dispute the charges. And the more chargebacks you have the higher your fee will be. Not 6.7% but still higher. But i will be back fir more ice cream. Maybe tonight as a matter of fact read more

Had ice cream every day of our east coast trip and some local friends recommended here. Fun road side stand that had patio tables glad we stopped! read more

One of my friends recommended this place when I mentioned we were visiting NH & ME. It wasn't exactly on the way to anything but we had fun incorporating it into our route. We both tried the orange mango flavor of the day. I added crunch which was great. The hot taco reminded me of something we might have for a weeknight dinner growing up. Definitely American style, not terrible.. wish I would have asked for sour cream. We both struggled to finish our small ice creams. I should have seen the smaller sizes! ‍ Loved how classic this ice cream spot is. read more

My wife and i drove to King Kone on Friday July 5th, 2024 after visiting the Outlet Mall in Dunham, NH. I ordered a sundae with chocolate Ice Cream, hot fudge and nuts and whipped cream and my wife had coffee ice cream .Let me tell you order the small or less and the amount of ice cream given is huge!! You order from a window off a 2 lane highway and the staff is very hospitable, pricing is very reasonable. Seating is limited and thee is parking. The staff is mostly college and HS aged students working the summer months. There are quite a few flavors to choose from and the location was very busy. I would definitely recommend if you are in the area and we will return if we are visiting family in the area in the future. read more

The food is amazing because their ice cream is so great. We got a dollar off ice cream and it is like so good. The service is amazing. The window is great. They have kids feeding pickle tables and amazing ambience. It's amazing. We can just go there and then there's tons of the table tons of stuff that we can just like do there and have a great time. read more

Huge portions and 2 new flavors each week, can't go wrong! Probably my favorite summer ice cream place, unless I'm craving hard ice cream.

King Kone has set the standard for soft serve ice cream! The flavor and texture is on point. Their special favors change weekly, and are always exciting and creative! NOOB TIP: the large should be renamed COLLOSAL. Also, even if the line appears long, you won't wait long, they are extremely quick. read more

This is my favorite soft serve place! The kiddie is huge (like a large most other places) and the flavors change weekly, with the staple vanilla, chocolate, and twist always available. I can't speak to anything other than the soft serve, but if that's what you're looking for, look no further! read more

Super cute little ice cream shack! The soft serve was so delicious. I got cotton candy, I ordered a medium and HOLY COW look how large this thing is!! Definitely worth the $7 lol. Ample seating if you want to sit outside. Friendly service. Love the different flavors every day. I will definitely be back! read more

King Kone - Medium cotton candy soft serve - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Merrimack, New Hampshire

Best ice cream around, hands down. Friendly employees and nice environment too (when the mosquitoes aren't out... lol). I'd give it 5 stars if they had hard ice cream too. Also, sometimes seating is tricky, but no biggie at the end of the day. read more

Good soft ice cream. Much better than I would have thought from such a small place. We like the various "Twists" they have throughout the season. Prices have gone up, but the value is still ok. read more

I like to take friends there and get them a large! LOL! It's the best soft serve o ever had! They have so many flavors it's hard to choose and they are all so good. read more

If you like soft serve ice cream then you can't go wrong with King Kone. They always have the standard vanilla, chocolate and twist available but every week they introduce a couple of temporary flavors and a fun twist. For instance they may have pumpkin, coffee and pumpkin latte (pumpkin/coffee twist) available. The portions are HUGE! I know people often say this about ice cream places but no joke...pay attention to the sign at the window that illustrates how much ice cream you will get depending on the size your order. They also sell tacos (I know, so random) and they're a pretty tasty snack or quick meal that won't break the bank. Keep in mind that they aren't really a taco restaurant so it's pretty basic fare. In the past they have been a cash only establishment but this year they began accepting credit cards. Hooray! Now it's even easier to stop and get a King Kone ice cream! read more

King Kone - Medium berries and cream "twist". The machine wouldn't twist so they did black raspberry and vanilla in a cup together - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Merrimack, New Hampshire

Legendary ice cream. Please never close. Great chocolate flavor! Huge portions! Just watch out in the parking lot. read more

Really good ice cream! A popular destination on warm Summer and early Autumn afternoons/evenings. Kones come in several sizes. The Black Raspberry ice cream is really good! read more

Great sign, fun building, delicious ice cream. Stopped here to satisfy a soft serve craving and this place came through. It's great to see a soft serve only shop that has more than just vanilla and chocolate to choose from. The black raspberry was flavorful and even better with PB dip. Mind the sign in the window that shows the sizes! A kiddie is enough for most people. The person behind us ordered a large and it was a comical amount of ice cream. No longer a cash only business, we paid with a card. read more

King Kone - Kitschy King Kone. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Merrimack, New Hampshire

Great people and family that owns it. I lived in Merrimack most of my life and always loved their ice cream and food. I love the many different flavors and the prices are not bad at all. It is very iconic to see it everyday and is always the first place I recommend to family and friends. read more

Order the Kiddie size By most ice cream shop standards, the King Kine Kiddie is a Large. The Small is XL, and the sizes go up progressively from there. The large is just an insult to cows. Not even being PC! It's a classic local Merrimack spot. It has nostalgia for locals and they keep the tradition of oversized cones, which I guess is cool. If you think it's fun to buy oversized and challenge yourself to finishing one, good for you! Otherwise, spare yourself the risk to cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and obesity (linked to Covid mortality fyi) and just get a kiddie cone. Oh, and JIMMIES is not racist. That was a weird PC urban myth, totally debunked. Impressionable future babies learned that JIMMIES is racist by word of mouth and accepted it as fact (I.e., ignorance). It's okay! Just ask for jimmies! You're in New Hampshire. That's what we say. Stop saying sprinkles because JIMMIES just isn't linked to racism. Some doo do head made that up and you bought it hook line and sinker read more

Make sure you get a kitty not a small unless you really are into a super large soft serve. I love bringing my niece is here. You have to make sure you speak clearly to the new staff I think they're still learning but that's OK. Love soft serve read more

If you get a chocolate dipped cone prepare for the ice cream to come out of the chocolate like it had pores. It comes out so quick out of the holes in the chocolate. It was more delicious than Dairy Queen. I got the coconut lime and it was like a swirl with tiny layers of the coconut with layers of lime. Very refreshing and not overly sweet. You are served quickly despite the appearance of so many people there. read more

King Kone - Today's flavors - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Merrimack, New Hampshire

Yum yum yum! Huge portions for a reasonable price, delicious ice cream in not-your-usual flavors and easy to find/get to. We'll be back!

The classic go-to spot for ice cream in Merrimack! Things to know before you go.... King Kone is seasonal; it usually opens in March and closes about October if I recall correctly. You go up to the window to order, and you can either eat at one of the tables outside or go to your car. There is no indoor seating or restrooms. I still would choose King Kone over Hayward's any day (although Hayward's is still great)! A "kiddie" size is a reasonable size for any person to enjoy....a "small" is a large.....a "medium" is huge....and a "large" is so ridiculously gigantic that it cannot fit through the window. People order large cones as a joke or a dare; no reasonable person would order a large cone regularly. They only serve soft serve ice cream, and it's absolutely delicious. They always have vanilla, chocolate, and twist; they have four or so other flavors that change week by week. Sometimes, they have really unique flavors! They serve limited food, including tacos, hot dogs, and corn dogs. The tacos are actually good, not what I would expect from an ice cream stand. If you want ice cream in Merrimack, this is the place where the locals go! read more

Fun place! A good selection for a soft serve joint and massive portions! Coffee with chocolate sprinkles was a hit. Pretty cheap compared to other places in the area. read more

Just wow ! I do prefer hard ice cream to soft serve but this place is amazing. I have never seen portions this big. And the taste was amazing! I had a Chocolate / Black Cherry combo......just wow! The lines are really long but move really quick. This place is highly recommended! read more

I went on a date here years ago. The cones are freekin HUGE. I do like big kones ;-) but this was unreal. Just get the small. The large ones are ungodly huge and I feared would touch the ground. GO KING KONE! read more

Good, big & cheap. - If you like soft-serve ice cream, this is a great stop. They have the usual vanilla and chocolate a of course, the swirl - but also others like mint and banana. - A small cone is enormous! For most people, this is going to be PLENTY. If you need more, you might want to talk to your doctor. You may have a problem! But I liked it - cheap - nice treat - good stop!!! read more

What can you say, King Kone is an institution in Merrimack. The flavor options change Tues/Wed each week & every one has at least one fave. Even if your fave isn't there, you will still end up going lol. Hands down PB & Chocolate Jimmies is the best in my book, don't bother getting the pb/chocolate twist as the chocolate will overpower the light pb ice cream flavor and get lost, which is utterly saddening to be honest. They only take cash, so hit the atm up or scrounge up that pocket change in the cupholders. Extremely cost effective, affordable and as another reviewer has said "Best soft serve in the wold" lol. They have a twitter & fb page now that they sometimes will monitor & update the flavors of the week so you don't have to drive by JUST to check the flavors :) read more

King Kone - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Merrimack, New Hampshire

This is an institution in Merrimack! Has been there since I was young, and my girls love it! They used to only accept cash, but with Covid that changed. Love the different flavors they come up with, and the combinations read more

Favorite soft serve since I was born in 1989. It's a great mom and pop ice cream stand, with exciting flavors and a generous tower of ice cream goodness! Beware - even small sizes are HUGE! A kiddie size is just slightly bigger than what you will get at McDonald's for their soft serve. First timers, go with a twist, and you can compare all the other twists you've ever had and confirm this is the best soft serve ever. read more

Yummy soft serve -- and they carry Krunch Kote! My only complaint is that prices are a bit high fir soft serve. Otherwise, a great family spot. . read more

Growing up in Merrimack, the taste of summer was the taste of King Kone. The taste is exceptional. The portions are gargantuan. The price is reasonable. There are very few complaints I can muster about King Kone. Although I've since moved away, I try to grab some King Kone every time I come back to Merrimack. This is quite possibly the greatest soft serve I have ever had, and I can't recommend it in glowing enough terms. read more

I remember coming here 30yrs ago as a kid and always come back when I'm visiting! Huge ice cream to satisfy any hunger. King Kone is a legend. Stop by! read more
