The shop was clean, service was quick, and the workers were friendly. I asked for a recommendation based on my flavor preferences and the workers gave me some awesome flavors. Location is great and parking is very easy to find. Rainbow cone is a great place to cool off this summer! read more

Yummy ice cream. Great service and ambiance. Friendly and welcoming staff. Would go again.

Absolutely worth the hype, I am so obsessed with the banana cream pie ice cream, and the apple pie ice cream, it's been so hot out the last few weeks I've made so many visits. It is always such a treat stopping by rainbow cone we are so lucky to live so close to one! Aurora seems to always be there when I stop by, she is so sweet and I just love how welcoming the team is here. The scoops are generous and the space is very inviting. Try the donuts they are tasty! Nutella banana is perfection. The mango sorbet is also up there for me, refreshing and not too sweet. Looking forward to my next visit! read more

Lots of dessert options: ice cream, donuts, ice cream cakes, milkshakes, and ice cream sandwiches. The staff was friendly. Tried a few flavors before choosing the winners. Ordered the 2-scoop stack: Pistachio almond / Chocolate Palmer House / Strawberry The flavors were really good, but I wasn't sure if the ice cream was supposed to be more icy or creamier. Mine tasted a bit on the icy side. Hope to try the mini donuts soon. read more

I love ice cream and my boyfriend suggested we try The Original Rainbow Cone. Baskin Robbins and Dairy Queen are my favorites so I was little iffy on trying a new spot. I didn't see flavors I usually order so I decided to play it safe and ordered a vanilla sundae. However, my boyfriend went all in and ordered their sliced creation with five different flavors. I ended up trying a few of his flavors, and to my surprise, it was really good. Still craving ice cream a week later, we returned. However this time, I ordered the sliced creation too. I have been addicted ever since. Long story short, we have returned several times, and my favorite flavor by far is the pistachio almond. I even went to diary queen and ordered their pistachio and it didn't even compare to The Original Rainbow Cone. The other flavors I have tried are Superman, butter pecan, mint chocolate chip, and huckleberry, and they are all good. I definitely recommend The Original Rainbow Cone and will continue coming back. My next thing to try are their donuts. read more

Saturday (8/22/26) was me and my families first visit to Rainbow Cone, it did not disappoint. Sarah truly made it an even better experience with her A+ customer service. Sarah answered all of our questions attentively and patiently. The Mrs was indecisive and Sarah offered samples to make a selection. The restaurant was clean. And overall it was a top notch experience. P.S Aurora was helpful and nice also. read more

Pretty good ice cream with interesting flavor combinations. Went for a post dinner dessert. Ended up getting the chocolate obsession, which had multiple chocolately variations of ice cream. That was pretty good and I do appreciate having multiple flavors to try. The gf had the original and while some of the flavors were good, others were just a bit too unique for our taste buds. I think overall it's pretty good and may be back for the chocolate obsession. read more

The ice cream here is honestly really good. The original rainbow cone is definitely the standout despite having five different flavors stacked together, everything blends really well. None of the flavors overpower each other, and it ends up tasting balanced and unique rather than overwhelming. The place itself has a really chill vibe. It's not loud, and the ambience is nice if you just want to relax and enjoy your dessert without the usual busy dessert shop chaos. Service-wise, it's surprisingly not that crowded. It feels like not a lot of people have discovered this spot yet, which is kind of a hidden gem situation. Because of that, the experience is smooth and easy, no long waits. Overall, definitely worth checking out especially for the original rainbow cone. read more

Stopped by after Adventure City and this hit the spot. Portions were generous for the price, definitely worth it if you're coming with kids or just hungry. Got the ice cream and it was creamy, flavorful, and not shy on scoops. Service was quick and easy, and it's a solid spot to cool down after a long day out. Nothing fancy, but it does what it's supposed to do. Would come back. read more

The server was patient with us being there for the first time and made a lot of great suggestions. I LOVE fresh donuts and the donuts did NOT disappoint...9/10 as they're fresh and delicious!! The ice cream is quite good but it's just good and not great. My wife had the cream circle version of the sliced ice cream and she liked it quite a bit. We are spoiled with really high end ice cream in Vegas so while it was good it was under what we are used to. I don't mean to take away from the ice cream, it's good but it's not great. read more

This location is the first and only location in California as of the date of this review. Very cute little spot. It used to be a boba shop at one point. The inside smells very sweet because they also make fresh mini donuts on site. The Original Rainbow Cone surprised me. Anyone that knows me knows how much I'm not a fan of orange flavored desserts. But in this mixture, it's works very well and I actually enjoyed it. The multiple flavors in one seems like a weird concept but for me the flavors really worked well together. We love this place. We even got our last birthday cake here. Order must be placed 48 hours in advanced. We got the cookies & cream cake and it was enjoyed by both adults and kids. read more

Taste the rainbow, The Original Rainbow Cone in Cypress that is! We came here on a Thursday summer evening (7/23/2026) and there were a good amount of people, but we didn't have to wait long. I ordered the chocolate obsession in a cup and it had great flavors combined to satisfy the chocolate cravings, however the texture was not as creamy as other ice creams. It almost had an icy texture, as if the milk content was a little less than say the traditional Baskin Robbins scoop of ice cream (one star off). There were 4 or 5 tables to sit outside and 1 peculiar table inside which seemed to be more in the way of people as they entered the line to order. The gimmick of the ice cream flavors being stacked versus scooped was a great way to enjoy all the flavors at once and was very Instagram worthy of a photo. I would come back to try another flavor profile or maybe even have it on a cone versus the cup to see how it literally stacks up to the other ice cream flavors. So if you are in the city of Cypress and want to try a different take on a scoop of ice cream, then get ready to enjoy layers of ice cream in one delicious bite after bite! read more

The original rainbow cone is a must! We were in the area for some dinner and noticed rainbow cones bright inviting decor and knew this would be a post dinner treat. When you walk in you're immediately greeted by friendly staff and bright colors, it's impossible to not be in awe by the original rainbow cones vibe. With custom creations like the cosmic birthday cake , chocolate obsession, Superman dream and freshly made mini donuts there's something for everyone. Since this was my first time I had to go with the original rainbow cone, organza cream, pistachio, strawberry, chocolate and palmer house. These flavors sound very as a combo and looks even more whimsical but once you get it and give it a try , it was almost perfect how the flavors compliment each other for layers of a unique mix. I thought it gave a very similar vibe of spumoni ice cream. I really enjoyed the uniqueness and the variety the original cone offers, we will def be back to try more menu items! read more

What a fun, lively place for some dessert. They are know for their rainbow colored layers of ice cream that are stacked onto a cone. I love that the cones have a drip collector so your hands don't get sticky - smart idea! You can also choose to enjoy your ice cream in a cup or waffle cone. They have some pretty cool flavors and you can even sample them before you commit. They also have an array of mini donuts with toppings too. You can grab an ice cream cake to take home. Service was amazing! Sarah was bright, cheerful and super helpful. She made the experience special. Yum - come get some ice cream and sit inside or outside under umbrellas. read more

I'm not usually a sweets or ice cream person but their rainbow (small size) ice cream was a good value for pricing and variety of taste. It had I think surprising nut and cherry pieces too . Good service and easy parking. If you want to try something novel or like ice cream, this is a must try. read more

Rainbow ice cream has become my go to ice cream spot ever since it open in Cypress! It's in a quaint little plaza next to Cypress HS, surrounded by other food businesses. The location is convenient to hit up after dinner (or any time of the day)! The workers are always so friendly and patient. They get the scoops out quick after ordering. You can also sample flavors so if you're unsure about what you want, definitely try the Superman - it's fruity and creamy at the same time, which has become my all time favorite! read more

I never got hit with such a rush of nostalgia as this place has given me. The interior design really makes me feel like I'm in a good ole ice cream parlor with the friendliest staff you can ask for. But the main star is truly the Rainbow cone. If you are allergic to ice cream or dairy this isn't for you. The amount of incredible flavors and the presentation even down to how careful the staff is when they are creating your masterpiece. It makes me want to crave it every day if I could! I highly recommend this place. read more

First time here but I've known about this place and since we came to Kura next door, it was a perfect time to try it. Nothing special about the ice cream flavors they offer. It reminds me a lot of Thrifty ice cream except the scoops are in slices. An interesting way to serve ice cream. Glad I tried it, but not sure when I'd come back. read more

Came in to try this spot on a Tuesday evening after being recommended by a friend (also it was BOGO, which is hard to beat -- def check their Instagram before you plan your visit to see what's up). It may have just been because of the special but this place was busy! The line went quickly and service was really sweet, but there was a wait for the scoops to be handed out. We tried their original rainbow cone and their cosmic birthday sliced cones, both in their junior size. If you order regular size, come prepared because they're enormous. Original Rainbow - 5 flavors stacked to create a precarious mountain of ice cream. From the bottom to the top, it was chocolate, strawberry, "palmer house" (which is like cherry + walnuts set in a vanilla-y base), pistachio, and orange sherbet on top. All the flavors play an important role in the composition of this stack, and kinda all balance each other out. It was kinda like spumoni but like if Scooby Doo was raiding the freezer trying to make it. Cosmic Birthday - Layers of their "superman" ice cream in-between birthday cake ice cream. The best way I can think to describe it was like having a slice of funfetti cake in one hand and a bomb pop in another, and you're alternating bites. It was mellow, super sweet, ambiguously fruity, and a hit with my 4 year old (also, way too big for my 4 year old). read more

A solid new ice cream spot in Cypress. Came here after dinner close by to see the ice cream scooping method in person. Their layers of ice cream of 5 different flavors is definitely unique. The price was great for what you get. Is the ice cream the best you can get? No, but its still tasty and worth a go once to see if you'll like it. Service was fantastic read more

I love rainbow cone! I didn't even know how much I missed it from Chicago until this place opened. Layers of rainbow flavors served by some of the most cheerful people, in one of the most cheerful environments! Indoor and outdoor seating offered.

Ok... I was very excited to try this place and so happy we finally did! We have actually been back a few times because we love it so much! The service is great. The ladies that have helped us are so helpful and nice. The place is clean with cute decorations. I'm very intrigued to try their cakes one day because the display case looks divine! My children love the restroom too btw haha it's fancy according to them. So the ice creams are great! My kids love the Superman, the mango, the chocolate obsession and I agree with them! Except I can't say that the ice cream is the best because of their donuts!!!!!! We loveeeee their donuts! We always get two ice cream Cones and a dozen cinnamon sugar donuts and that's about $20+ for us. The donuts are..... mmmmm soooo good!!! It's made to order and amazing. Please don't forget to have their donuts also! Love this place read more

Sometimes you just want or even NEED ice cream and that is just what happened while we were traveling from San Diego to Los Angeles. We had driven a bit of the coastal highway and my older daughter said "there's this place that looks really interesting and I've been wanting to try it". That is how we ended up at the Original Rainbow Cone. Now, I am not one for gimmicky ice creams. In fact, the more basic and old school the joint is when it comes to ice cream, the happier I am. Full cream, slow churned, made with love and real fresh ingredients. This is definitely something Rainbow cone does properly, and they do have well made ice cream. However, I opted for a chocolate milkshake, as I knew the legit ice cream would make a great treat, especially after my earlier burger from Jack in the Box. One thing I could agree on with my wife was that the actual original rainbow cone itself was delicious. The layering of different colorful flavors actually work together perfectly. The other layered choices didn't really seem all that enticing and are obviously geared at the theme they have going of the stacked slabs of different flavors of ice cream. This feeds into the gimmick, which really isn't for me, but again, the quality is there so it was still a tasty experience in my book. The welcoming staff was also a highlight as none of us had any experience in what the cones were or what we wanted to order or even where to start. They were helpful, fun, and even played along with my patented ridiculousness and even led us to the recommendation to try the original rainbow that I ended up enjoying thoroughly. I am under the impression that this is a small chain, but definitely not nationwide. If I remember correctly, it began in Chicago and has expanded to many locations, and the vibe is definitely a big part of that. If you see one nearby definitely give it a shot! Especially that chocolate milkshake! read more

I went to a food fest and saw their booth. They were giving out donuts and ice cream. My girlfriend tried the mini donuts and I had the ice cream. I've been HOOKED ever since They handed me a little menu giving their whole backstory and the list of things they offer. I had to go in and visit their ice cream shop because I saw they serve my FAVORITE childhood flavor, Superman ice cream. When I pulled up I noticed there was a lot of parking. It's in a private parking lot but they share it with a couple other places. The shop is cute. It has their story everywhere and old photos, Barbie pink stools to sit on (also have I think one or two tables. The tables were limited vs the stools lined up against the wall with a counter) they also have a big ice cream statue Caroline was absolutely so sweet. She did a great job at asking every customer that came in if it was their first time, if they had any questions, if they want a sample. I told her it was my first time here and she asked how I found out about the place. So Caroline was on point! 10/10 They don't just have scoops of ice cream, no no no, they offer slices of ice cream cake, floats, decked out sundaes and more (again, the mini donuts, too! Which, you can add to your ice cream) they even have custom ice cream cookie sandwiches. You could even get them in a pack to take home I ended up ordering my ice cream and then getting a slice of their orange vanilla cake. It was delicious I love the combo of orange and vanilla. Plus the cake part wasn't dry. With some ice cream cakes it can be very dry Also bonus points for The bathroom being clean The ambiance - it was very colorful They had cute merch for sale The place was extremely clean Good variety of flavors And for customer service Caroline was amazing! There was a guy working here as well getting the ice cream ready. I believe his name was Justin? (I am so sorry if I'm wrong) I will 10000000000000000 percent be back read more

The Original Rainbow Cone completely stole my heart! It was our first time trying it after having dinner, the place is very colorful & cute! We were kindly greeted by staff, Megan at the counter helped us navigate the options they offered for ice cream and even mini donuts! We were able to try a few flavors prior to making a final decision, they have small and large portions. You get to pick up to 5 flavors! I thought that was awesome, you get a little bit of everything. They also have outdoor seating to enjoy your desert. We look forward to coming back for more delicious ice cream. read more

Interesting to say the least. We got the original rainbow come and I learned that I'm not a fan of all the flavors. Especially the cherry almond one. I should've just got a regular scoop of a flavor. Love that it comes with a cone holder that also helps with the ice cream when it drips. The donuts were surprisingly good. Who would've thought?! They were soft, fluffy, and moist. IT was busy when we first walked in but it slowed down. Don't know why it took so long for one original rainbow cone. The girl also didn't give as much as our friends got from another worker. It gets crowded. Only 1 table as soon as you walk in. There are a couple seats outside. read more

This ice cream & donut shop is located in a strip mall known as Cypress Village. They have a variety of ice cream flavors which you can get in a cup or cone, as well as a variety of specialty sundaes. The young woman who helped me at the counter was delightfully friendly and helped me figure out what to get. I decided to get two flavors in a cup - Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and Big Muddy (dark chocolate with small blobs of caramel throughout). I asked for some gooey caramel topping too. There are outdoor tables to sit at as well as some indoor seating and a counter. I sat at the counter and enjoyed the large scoops. The chocolate chip cookie dough was okay. I've definitely had better. But the Big Muddy was excellent - I really liked the dark chocolate flavor and the sweet caramel surprises in every bite. They also sell mini donuts here. I probably wouldn't have gotten any but Les S. mentions in his review that he thought the donuts were better than the ice cream. I agree completely! They have several flavor options and make them to order. I decided to get "classic glazed" - little plain donuts with a slightly sweet glaze poured over them. They sell them in boxes of half a dozen (which to them means 7) and they were so fresh and delicous. I ate one donut while halfway through my ice cream and immediately pushed my ice cream aside to wolf down those donuts! For me to push ice cream aside for anything is unheard of...that's how good their donuts are. This is a fun and delectable dessert spot with some great ice cream and even yummier mini donuts. read more

This is a traditional ice cream place from Chicago. Its signature item is its Rainbow Cone which has five sliced ice cream flavors stacked on top of one another (chocolate, strawberry, Palmer House, pistachio, orange sherbet). Most of its ice cream flavors are pretty standard, but decent to good. What I mainly come here is for its freshly made mini donuts. When I say fresh, they are made to order, not made the same day or within the last hour. You will need to wait about 10 to 15 minutes for the staff to make donuts, but they are totally worth it. Just having them fresh makes such a big difference. I even ate some the day after and they still tasted pretty fresh. This location has switched hands several times. I hope this place can last because my family and I love its freshly made donuts. read more

You're welcomed with the sweet buttery smell of fresh waffle cone as you enter and a buffet of ice cream flavors to select. I was overjoyed with all the choices that I settled on my usual mint chocolate chip and huckleberry. They were creamy and delicious. I think next time I will get their infamous layers of ice cream next time which has so many different varieties that you'll just have to stop reading the reviews and just come and check it out for yourself. Can't go wrong with this place, seriously. Service is excellent and they helpful with all the different services they offer from fundraising opportunities to party ice cream cakes to catered services for your next event. Hot pink stools at the bar top counter or small seats inside available or outdoor seating available at the benches with umbrella overhead. Great for all size gatherings. The restroom is pretty fancy too. Won't ruin it. Come check it out yourself. read more

All together I paid like $11 for both the mini-donuts and the ice cream which is a really great price. They also sell slices of ice cream cake in many different flavor combinations! The drawback about ice cream cake is you have to buy an entire cake to try it, but here, you can try all the different types of ice cream cake since they sell it by the slice for like $5.99! On top of that, they sell ice cream sandwiches! It's not just ice cream scoops, it's mini-donuts, sundaes, ice cream cake slices, ice cream cake and ice cream sandwiches! Since it was my first time visiting I went with the 5 flavor cone. I was able to sample the flavors which was really awesome. I went with the huckleberry, Palmer house, Mango sorbet, peanut butter swirl and big muddy. The one flavor I didn't try ahead of time was huckleberry and I was indifferent to it, but my favorite flavor was definitely the peanut butter swirl. I like peanut butter but it's not my favorite in ice cream but their peanut butter swirl is delicious and smooth. Definitely would get that again next time and try more flavors. I love that the cone came with an ice cream cone sleeve so none of the ice cream melted onto your hand. I decided to also get a half dozen mini-donuts since it was my first time. I ate a few but saved them for later. Since they were made fresh, they tasted amazing and melt in your mouth. I'd say it's like those mini donuts you get in a pack at the gas station, but super fresh and literally melt in your mouth when it's freshly made and hot. I ate the rest of them the next day with coffee and it still tasted fresh and soft. The shop itself is a girly dream! I love the decor, the pink stools and counter, the large ice cream cone in the window and the color scheme. Once you walk in it's like you're in ice cream heaven. The service is great here and the lady that helped was very friendly, answered all of my questions and got me all the ice cream samples. To me, it's a great price point, they have a variety of ice cream and ice cream products to choose from and it's just a happy store to visit! read more

Recently opened near Kura! I normally get the ice cream from kura to end the meal but this time decided to give rainbow cone a try. The inside and branding feels really colorful and exciting (perfect for kids) but it also made me have no idea what to expect. I tried the banana split with my brothers and was blown away! It's not just a cute ice cream shop. The ice cream is ACTUALLY really good and creamy (no icey ice cream! Yay!). The banana split was really large! They scooped really big scoops so it's a great thing to share between 3-5 people. You can swap flavors for the banana split if you want. Plenty of outdoor seating. Limited indoor seating. I can't wait to come back and bring my niece! read more
