Rainbow cone icecream sandwich - Rainbow cone flavors 9/10 - Even though the flavors seem random they all really work well together! - Sweet and savory icecream all in one - Good scoop size - Cookies 4/10 - The cookies were very hard - Lacked flavor Walking down Laguna this icecream shop caught my attention with the sign of multiple random icecream flavors all in one cone! The rainbow flavors were all really random and I would have never thought to get that mix but it ended up working very well. It was really yummy, both sweet and savory. I would get this flavor again. Their icecream is creamy as well. For the cookies, I would not recommend them. They are very hard and not enjoyable. I ended up throwing away some of the cookie. The inside is full of vibrant colors and is really aesthetic inside for photos of your icecream. It wasn't packed when I went there so you get your icecream fast. The workers are very friendly and kind. They provide samples if you ask them so you can make the right choice for you! read more

The Original Rainbow Cone - original Classic Rainbow Cake Slice - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Laguna Beach, California

Cute Ice cream shop! Located in Laguna shops right across from Laguna main beach. Many different choices from shakes to sandwiches to ice cream scoops to Sundaes. They even offer doughnuts. Variety of toppings to choose from on cones and ice cream as well. I highly recommend. We sampled a few and decided on from left to right picture huckleberry scoop with peanut toppings, Carmel Apple pie super sundae, Superman ice cream scoop with butter pecan in original waffle cone. All were 10/10. Definitely enough for you to share on the 2 cups and sundae options. Service was exceptional she helped us narrow down our choices. Also dog friendly with the dog water bowls and treats being offered. read more

I had been seeing this place all over my Instagram, so decided to visit one day. The store is cute and I liked all the history bits highlighted around. We tried the classic Rainbow cone, and though I really like the concept of all the flavors in one go (I love mixing 2-3 flavors of ice cream too), the ice creams didn't really blow me away. The flavors were okay but not very memorable. read more

Parking here is hard. There are no indoor seating inside or outside. I ordered the Banana Cream Pie (new on their menu) and it was good. It was a bit sweet, but tasty! Recommendation(s): - Banana Cream Pie Service: 5/5 Tip(s): - No indoor and outdoor seating - Parking is hard - Accept Apple Pay - No restrooms available read more

I was so excited to see that one of these opened up in Laguna, so I had to go check it out. They are in a great location right across from main beach...iconic!!! The interior is really cute as well, making the experience really fun. I had to try their original cone flavor, which was a great balance of fruity and chocolate/nutty flavors. I also tried one of their seasonal flavors which was layers of orange and strawberry. I would recommend bringing a cup with you, however, as this did get a little messy. You get A LOT of ice cream here. Overall I was really happy with my sweet treat. It was a little bit busy, and the scooping seems labor intensive, so be prepared to wait if there's a line. Definitely worth it though, and I can't wait to come back. read more

I was so excited to try this out. The service is bad. The staff is unfriendly and they are not helpful in any way. I got a slice cone of the chocolate and my friend got the rainbow one. The only good flavor was the chocolate brownie everything else was disgusting. The texture and flavor were bad. I ended up throwing it away. My friend didn't like rainbow one either. read more

This new ice cream shop originally from Chicago just opened up right across the street from the main beach in Laguna and it's the perfect stop for beach day treat. The shop is really cute with a pink theme and everyone working here is friendly and welcoming. You can order at the register or at a kiosk. They're known for their rainbow ice cream cone which consists of 5 ice cream flavors (chocolate, strawberry, palmer house, pistachio almond and orange sherbet) layered in a really cool way. The ice cream was creamy and delicious. I really liked the palmer house flavor because I love cherry ice cream. A small ($6.49) was plenty and could even be shared. If a rainbow cone isn't your thing, you can make your own flavor combination or get normal scoops too. They also have milkshakes, sundaes and mini donuts. The company is celebrating their 100th anniversary so you know they've been doing something right. read more

The Original Rainbow Cone just opened in Laguna Beach and the store interior is absolutely beautiful and cute! All the employees were extremely welcoming and answered all my questions. However, I will say the ice cream itself did not surprise me. 1.) The size of the small scoop is $6 and it was small for the price. 2.) The flavor was not rich at all and the texture was a bit off and icy. My parents got the pistachio walnut flavor and did not taste the pistachio flavor at all. It tasted artificial and said it kind of tasted like a watered down mint flavor. I got the chocolate peanut flavor and it was okay. Maybe we got a bad batch this day but this does not stand out in terms of flavor for other gelato/ ice cream places around here. read more

We came about 30 min before closing on a Sunday night and it was still bustling with families coming in wanting to see what this Chicago based ice cream is all about. The service was superb, the manager was still there. Incredibly friendly and telling us that the Chicago location was her hometown ice cream shop growing up. Their ice cream is sliced not scooped and they are here to stay because of the prime location in front of the beach. Love the bright colored designs inside and just bubbling with excitement as they serve you your ice cream. They have ice cream cake, mini donuts, cake slices on top of the original one we bought which has pistachio, strawberry, chocolate, orange sherbet, palmer house on a waffle cone. So excited they are here and this will become a staple must stop when visiting Laguna beach. read more

Our group of friends came on a Friday evening as a few of us were having a sweet tooth craving. It was pretty busy partially due to their great location across from the beach. We were greeted and helped by Ivan, one of three workers tending to the crowd. There were many yummy options to choose from, but I decided to go with a classic root beer float (vs their orange sherbert - which will be saved for next time!), that ended up tasting very good. It was exactly how I would expect one to be with a good soda to ice cream ratio. Great overall experience. Thanks Ivan! read more

This is a great new place. It's nice to have a new ice cream shop that does it a little different. Great flavor selection. It was good ice cream but definitely let it sit for a few minutes before enjoying. It will make it creamier and enhance the taste. I love that they sell ice cream cake by the slice and the layered creations are so cool. The staff was very friendly and did not make us feel rushed. read more

I was walking by and actually heading to another ice cream shop but then I saw the sign for the rainbow ice cream cone and my eyes naturally lit up.....I had to stop in and try it. And it did not disappoint! I was skeptical on if I should include the orange sherbet and I'm glad I didn't modify it because it was great as it was and all the flavors come together so well. It was also so well priced, each cone was $6 and their small came with plenty of ice cream. The texture of the ice cream could not be more on point and it was not overly sweet either which I liked. You can tell it's a high quality home made ice cream and again, for the price this is truly unbeatable. Can't wait to go again! read more

It was a really cute photo op and the flavors were delicious. My friends got the rainbow cone and I got the chocolate version. Both were really good but I preferred the chocolate a tad bit more. The only downside is that it's very messy because it melts right away, so grab a ton of napkins and eat it outside. The staff were friendly and nicely explained the menu. read more

I spent way too long trying to decide which flavor to get before realizing the whole point is you don't have to. Somehow five completely different flavors end up working together better than they have any business doing. The orange sherbet quietly carries the whole operation. Creamy, fresh, and worth the drive. This is one of those places you'll accidentally end up craving a week later. read more

Went for our first time today and loved the ice cream and the service. Shot out to Coda for amazing service! I literally accidentally dumped my cone on the ground and they were so gracious and replaced it for me. We will absolutely be back! Also love the mural in the store. I have a feeling this location will do well. read more

The ice cream was pretty good and I really liked how you could get multiple flavors but the worker at the register was not helpful at all and seemed like he would rather be anywhere else, but honestly I'd feel the same way if I was working a closing shift somewhere, I definitely wouldn't make it clear to the customers though. read more

First time going to The Original Rainbow Cone ice cream store in Laguna Beach and it did not disappoint! The store was really clean and we were helped by Ivan, who was very helpful and sweet. He gave good suggestions on flavors of ice cream to get as well as good descriptions of the flavors of not so well known names (Big Muddy). He scooped our ice cream with care. We had a really great experience and I enjoyed the Huckleberry flavor immensely. We will definitely be back! read more

Ice cream quality is very poor. Once you get beyond the novelty of squared scoops there isn't anything redeeming about this place but the friendly service. If it weren't for this i would prefer to give zero stars if I could. I will continue to visit the gelato places in Laguna instead. read more

My family and I went here for dessert. The moment you walk in, you smell sugar cone, an absolutely divine aroma. My family did not order anything with gummy worms, however...I noticed this one employee, Max, taking their time to meticulously place each gummy worm on the cone, and it was a work of art. Anyone who takes their time Max did to create this masterpiece deserves some praise, some admiration, some adoration, some appreciation for what they do. I highly recommend this spot. It's delicious. read more

If you're in Laguna beach especially main beach take a break and walk across the street and get a snack. We were just walking around and saw this new place opened. We went to dinner and came back for dessert. Our cone artist Ivan scooped me a small Original Rainbow Cone with care. I wanted to try different flavors so this was the best way according to Ivan. It includes Chocolate, Strawberry, Palmer House (New York Vanilla & cherries), Pistachio Almond, and Orange Sherbet. He was spot on and it was hard to pick a favorite. Probably orange sherbet and palmer house. I'll be back for those and maybe some of those mini donuts. read more

And the ice cream was probably the best ice cream we had! Huckleberry was my favorite!
