Chocolate Peppermint Cake
JP F.

We have tried the Original Rainbow in both cone and cake roll form before, and loved them. Saw the peppermint options, and HAD to get the chocolate peppermint cake for Christmas Eve Dinner. It did not disappoint; in fact, it EXCEEDED expectations. Now all I want Santa to bring me next year, is about 500 more of these AMAZING creations!!!

Love Rainbow Cone! Nearly every time we visit the Chicago area, we look for a Rainbow Cone. Love, love the stack of ice cream flavors on a cone! If you've never had a Rainbow Cone, it's a "must try" item.

Visited during a work trip to Chicago. The ice cream was delicious. Like the different flavors. Friendly staff. Highly recommend.

I've always loved the cone and I'm so glad they've opened up so many more stores. Today we had the cake for my birthday. OUTSTANDING! #iraeats #iraeats1

My son had a craving for a rainbow cone, so we headed to Buona Beef. He really liked it and I wish I got one, but it has a pistachio layer, which I can't have, since I have a tree nut allergy. Outdoor seating area was modestly sized, with about 5 tables. A great way to spend a nice warm summer day. BATHROOM REVIEW: Located right next to the kiosk, the bathroom was relatively clean. Urinals were in working order, and a decent experience. Sit or squat? Squat.

$12.89/quart, and yum yum.

We're delighted to have this Rainbow Cone franchise as close as it is to Park Ridge. When are you coming to Park Ridge, the bestest suburb in all of Chicagoland lol ?? It's ight, this is plenty close. We dropped in to buy a gift card for our grand-darlings. I'm 200% sure they will enjoy these delectable Rainbow Cones, as much as I do. Actually, I'm even more sure as I know they have already had and enjoyed before. Nicolle was the chipper attendant on duty helping us out. Thank you!

Me and my Rainbow come!

I was so excited to find a Rainbow Cone in Mr Prospect. Stopped in for an original and I was sooo happy.

Beyond disappointing - Rainbow Cone is one of my favorites, but tonight, when I ordered a quart of ice cream, my family and I found a large hair in the container - mixed in with the orange sherbet. Totally disgusting and unacceptable. I guess the employees don't contain their hair when dealing with food. I'm glad we looked at the tub before scooping; unfortunately we threw it all away. What a waste! To add insult to injury, I called Door Dash and they refused to issue a refund - instead saying they're escalating it to their "health department", which means I'll never hear from them again.

I drove by and happen to see a new "Original Rainbow Cone!" The fam and I stopped in and as always never fails.. We all loved it! Delicious and it hit the spot! This place opened inside the Buona Beef 2 weeks ago. Perfect combo. Right after your dinner, what can be better than ice cream! Not just any ice cream! A Rainbow Cone! Need I say more?

Rainbow Cone is a Chicagoland staple! It's nice to see these pop up more and more throughout the suburbs.

I had the strawberry ice cream and it was a little more tart compared to other ice cream shops I've been to. I actually really liked it because I was able to taste more of the strawberries. The tartness may be due to the lower sugar content, but it just tasted "healthier" to me! Everyone there was so friendly and greeted us with a smile. The prices were reasonable and their single scoop was very generous! I also loved how kid-friendly the shop was. They had drawings and coloring pages that kids had made displayed all over the walls. They also had plenty of toys and coloring books to keep the little ones entertained. The store was clean and brightly lit with cute ice cream photos decorating the space. I loved the atmosphere and how I felt while I was there. Definitely will be coming back!

You could taste at the waffle cones are fresh. I love that if you order a scoop of ice cream you still get a little piece of waffle cone to get some flavor. The staff was very kind and welcoming. We're excited to come back here and try the other flavors. It's nice to know that they rotate certain flavors throughout the season.

If you're parked along the drive-thru line, it can be hard to get out of the spot with all the cars lined up behind you. Most of the time people are decent letting me back out of my spot, but there's always a few cars who just won't leave an opening. Service is always super fast, no matter how many people are in line or waiting. There's a few benches so seating so you eat there. It's always brightly lit too. I've been there with a long drive thru line where cars are backed up on Rand Rd., but don't let that deter you from going- the car line moves super fast! Just pull up the menu while you wait so you know what you want when an employee walks up to your car to take your order. Speaking of the employees taking your order - they are all super friendly, they have a smile no matter how hot or cold it is outside, and they're so patient waiting for everyone to order. I think they must have a kindness, happy, friendly detector because this Andy's has all the nicest people working here. Even the people at the window and walk up! You see them working it together in harmony inside as they make each order. It is an impressive team, no matter what time of the day we go and how busy it gets! They work like really like their job AND each other (I'm kinda jealous!) The frozen custard is so smooth and creamy. It's perfectly flavored, we get the vanilla and have tried the chocolate which is decently chocolatey! They don't skimp on the toppings either. If anything, hubs says there's sometimes not enough ice cream to balance the amount of toppings. Service is excellent. Frozen custard is excellent. Wait time is great. Definitely a must go for dessert!

The Dead Kennedys had a song about this place:…read more "Too young! Too young to f***" I walked into Daisy's, looked behind the counter, and immediately felt like Chris Hansen was going to rappel through the ceiling. The P.O.A. Index wasn't merely unavailable, it had been confiscated by the State of Illinois, sealed in an evidence bag, and transported somewhere my lawyer strongly advised me not to follow. Everyone working there looked so young that instead of wondering whether anyone was attractive, I started wondering when everyone's mother was coming to pick them up. One girl asked what flavor I wanted and I nearly replied, "Whatever people ate before you were born." This wasn't an ice cream run anymore. This was a mortality check. I entered Daisy's as a reasonably youthful man looking for dessert and walked out mentally pricing burial plots and wondering whether Costco sells Metamucil by the pallet. Fortunately, the ice cream was excellent... except for the non-sensical names. Besides the one labeled "smores" it was like trying to decide the enigma machine from WWII. If one can decipher the flavors... the ice cream is rich, creamy, enormous portions, exactly the kind of old-school neighborhood ice cream that makes you temporarily forget you've apparently become old enough to have employees serving you who don't remember a world before smartphones. Five stars... begrudgingly. I went in wanting a cone. I came out eligible for a reverse mortgage.

They serve Chocolate Shoppe ice cream (a premium brand) and they have great prices. We shared a four scoop cup for $7.99!!! It's a good thing they haven't heard about inflation. They also have unique flavors like pb&j. The decorations are super fun. I highly recommend Daisy's Ice Cream!
