    Topping choices
    Sandy B.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    This place is small, but really cute, the bright colors attract the people and bring them in making them wanna look at what's going on inside. The ice cream cone flavors are unique and flavorful. The way they stacked the ice cream on the rainbow cone is wild. The flavors are bright, vivacious and delicious, Sarah was the one who helped us with the cash register. She was kind and had a good personality.

    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!

    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

    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.

    Wanted to take our kiddos out for some ice cream and stumbled across this cute ice cream shop. Love the interior and the ice cream was really good, kids had strawberry and Superman while my husband and I had their orange sherbet and vanilla. Had a great experience will be back!

    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.

    Jr sized Cosmic Birthday vs. 4 year old

    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).

    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. You can even watch the process as they scoop ice cream and flip mini donuts. Yeap, they also offer mini donuts and cakes (whole and slices)! If you love ice cream, there's no discussion needed to be had. You gotta try The Original Rainbow Cone.

    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

    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!

You can choose as many flavors as you'd like for the sorbet and I've even seen someone get literally all of the flavors (and I think there's at least 15+ flavors), and the soft serve is chocolate, vanilla, or swirl! The sorbet flavors are all so delicious and don't taste artificial, and the soft serve is super creamy. They pair perfectly together which is why I get it every time! My favorite part of frostbites is always the service. The workers are always so patient and let you sample as much as you'd like. They also mix unique together flavors for you to try! My favorite is the Flinstone's Push Pop and any of their Hi-Chew combinations. The caramel macchiato combination is also really good. There's definitely something for everyone and you just need to let them know if it's your first time! My friends and I always sit inside. There's usually seats available because people come and go, but it's definitely busy on most nights. A perfect way to end the night after dinner or an outing with friends!

It's light, refreshing, and so easy to eat haha. The outside is very simple and cute. You walk up and order at the window. Service was great. They were very kind and we got our ice creams fast.

The soft serve ice cream is decadent and there are plenty of toppings they offer. Although the fruit syrup flavors are popular, I shy away from them as some of them are two sweet and/or artificial tasting. There is lots of parking, the store is hidden in a little corner next to the gas station, and there are a few outdoor tables and chairs. This used to be my go-to location but, as you can see in other reviews, service is not the best. It's a gamble to see if they're still open after work, because the employees always choose to close up shop before the listed time. They also start serving only ice cream after a certain time that varies, which should be listed somewhere. You don't really know what time they'll decide to close up for the day or start only serving ice cream. The phone number shown online is not in service either, so you can't really call and check to see if they're still "open." When I'm just chilling in the plaza, I even see that they'll put up the 10 minute break sign sometime in the last hour before 10 p.m. (or whenever they actually are supposed to close) and then just stop serving desserts. Over time, I've seen so many people walk away and have to tell their friends no honeymee for today (rip). I get wanting to clean everything to go home earlier, but the listed times should be adjusted accordingly. Additionally, they should put up a consistent time somewhere informing that they start only serving ice cream after that time. Management clearly doesn't care based on the overall ratings. Although it is farther and a bit pricier, I primarily drive to the Irvine location now because they are much more consistent with service, have a wider menu selection, and even offer kiosk ordering.
