If you want a banana split for one... this is the wrong place. These things are big enough for 2-3 people, so unless your appetite is preparing for the Olympics, bring backup. I absolutely love this place and highly recommend it to anyone with a serious sweet tooth. Just don't come here expecting a cute little dessert for yourself. This banana split is basically a group project you're going to be emotionally attached to finishing. read more

This is definitely NOT our first time visiting the Original Rainbow Cone in Surprise, and there's a reason we keep coming back! The second you walk through the door, you're hit with the smell of those warm, fresh-made waffle cones, and honestly... it makes you want to eat the air! It smells SO good! The inside is always super clean, the staff is friendly, and most importantly--the ice cream is AMAZING! I know every ice cream shop has its own taste, but this place just hits my taste buds perfectly. Their ice cream actually tastes like ICE CREAM to me! Some places have ice cream that tastes a little artificial or just doesn't hit the same for me, but I never feel that way here. My niece absolutely loves getting the vanilla with sprinkles, and I'm all about the Superman and Pirate's Bounty. Those are my two favorites! We've been back more than once, and we'll definitely keep coming back. If you love good, old-fashioned-tasting ice cream, you have to give this place a try! read more

The Original Rainbow Cone - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Surprise, Arizona

Rainbow Cone is worth the wait! Pros: huge scoops! $5 specials. Rewards and loyalty program. Pretty and pink decor. Rainbow Cone is BEAUTIFUL! Rich and creamy ice cream. Friendly Service. Brooklyn was amazing!!! Cons: Most flavors have nuts in them. So, if you have a tree nut or peanut allergy. Speak up. They will accommodate. You cannot see the ice cream. I love the strawberry and mint chocolate chip! read more

Now this is a spot to try for some ice cream. I had a craving the other night and I've been seeing and hearing good things about this little joint. So I made it a task. To try it... Customer service was awesome. Fast ordering and quick making. I order the layer because I do love me some sherbet. But the ambiance of the store was relaxing. Table seating with a bar facing the parking lot. But if you need a change of flavor. The OR Cone is a must... Thank you OR Cone. I will be back.. read more

The Original Rainbow Cone is a nice little ice cream spot. They are consistently busy but it only took about 10min after ordering, which wasn't bad. The staff were all very kind and patient! Very family friendly environment, except for the seating. There is hardly any indoor seating. As far as the ice cream, it was good, but just that, good. The minty city shake had good flavor but the shake was surprisingly kind of warm? It wasn't as cold as I would have hoped for. I got the chocolate obsession waffle cone. I was excited for this but it just missed the mark for me. Unfortunately the only consistent flavor that came through was large chunks of peanut butter. The waffle cone tasted fresh, flaky, and was excellent. I do love the creativity and presentation of their food! I'm sure we will be back as it is good ice cream, they have a lot of other fun flavors to try, they've only been open for 2 weeks, and the service was great. 3*** = Good but no separation from similar shops 4**** = Set themselves a part with tastiness 5*****= You have to go out of your way and make a special trip to try the deliciousness that is there! read more

I was excited and surprised (pun intended) to learn that a Rainbow Cone location was coming to Surprise. I tried a rainbow cone years ago at Lollapalooza in Chicago, but didn't realize they had freestanding locations, especially outside of Illinois. My mom and I checked it out this afternoon--just two days after the soft opening. We both ordered the rainbow cone. Mine was in a cake cone and my mom opted for the waffle bowl. We were delighted by the flavors. The rainbow cone consists of chocolate, strawberry, palmer house (walnut + cherry), pistachio, and orange ice creams. Despite being a diverse array of flavors, they work really well together. The cashier who helped us was super sweet and knowledgeable about the menu. The inside of the shop was adorable and perfectly decorated. I will definitely return! read more

We'll definitely be back! read more

We decided to head over with my niece and daughter to try this place I've been hearing about. It was so cute inside even my kids loved it. Service was wonderful from the start and since we've never been in before, they explained how a lot of their process works. I really appreciate it that if we didn't like the ice cream we chose they would give us something else. We ended up with a banana split a vanilla milkshake and a strawberry sunrise cone. It was crazy to watch them stack this ice cream and it sounds like so much but the cone I bought was about 1 1/2 scoops. I believe they were pretty busy and getting busier by the moment however they had our items pretty quickly so that was impressive. Everything was a hit and now I'm being bombarded with. When do we get to go back questions lol it's a little expensive but for the size alone of the banana split I'd say it's worth it if you just once in a while to treat yourself or your family I know we'll be back. It was a great experience. read more

I ordered a custom cake for my husband's birthday and there was a mistake and the cake was not what I ordered. The employee was so sorry and called the owner to see what they could do . The owner gave options and one was that him and his wife came in made our cake and would personally deliver it no cost . I was truly amazed at this customer service . I have never experienced anything like this and this is the way a company should run. They did everything they needed to fix the mistake and please their customer. I definitely will keep spreading the word and definitely a valued customer. The cake was excellent and we will be getting our cakes there from now on . We loved their ice cream and the mini donuts. Now we can add the cake as well . read more

Such a cute ice cream shop & unique choices on the menu! Delicious old fashioned donuts made fresh and the original rainbow was oddly amazing haha, & friendly staff I wish there was more seating inside and/or outside, but thats what happens when everything is cramped in a small shopping center. Otherwise, highly recommend for a new sweet treat stop! read more

Had never heard of this place before but it looked cute and just opened so I stopped by today to give it a try. I had the cosmic birthday cone, it was great! Before 3pm is happy hour and they have many choices for 5$, it was a good sized ice cream and I liked how the flavors were layered in an alternating pattern. Can't wait to try some of their other offerings like the ice cream cakes & mini donuts. Smelled amazing inside & staff was friendly as well which is always a plus :) read more

Lines were out the door but service was quick and friendly. The smell when you open the door was heavenly and we already knew we would love this place a WAFFLE lot. We definitely liked getting layers of ice cream flavors especially when you want to try a little bit of everything. (like the sign when you walk in says "Life's too short for just one flavor!") The preset flavors were great and we can't wait to come back and make our own combinations. We definitely look forward to the next birthday in our family so we can order a cake...but they also sell cakes by the slice which means I might not have to wait till the next birthday. So many new things on the menu to try, we are already looking forward to our next visit! read more

Adorable atmosphere and decorations. Ice cream is pretty decent, nothing spectacular. The service was not good, the cashier couldn't understand anyones orders and got multiple of them wrong. Consider putting a different associate at the register. Likely wont be back. read more

Just Meh. Nothing to make a special trip for. The ice cream was basic. Strawberry milkshake was sour and seemed to have a weird chemical taste. We ended up throwing it away. Mini donut machine was broken. There are better places for the cost, portions and flavor/taste. This was our first time here and wouldn't necessarily go back. I had high hopes and was pretty disappointed. read more

Love. Love. Love. Very clean. Very friendly staff. Something different for the area. The original rainbow cone is the way to go. It's old school flavors and takes me back. I recommend this place. They also sell the ice cream by the pint. read more

Limited ice cream flavors found anywhere. Walked into an empty shop for the first time with two associates. Getting answers to questions was pulling teeth, we gave up. Not all prices for cone/bowl features offered were listed so we're having to guess our way through to be disappointed that we guessed wrong. Absolutely no engagement from associates. One and done for our household. read more

Absolutely yummy and Betzy was so helpful and kind! It was really quick and it smelt delicious in there. We got ice cream cones and donuts that were so good we took 2 quarts home! read more

One of the girls at the register was rude af. She had a face the whole time, she sounded annoyed the whole times and kept on pressuring costumers to hurry up and their donuts are so mid you can get them at Walmart read more

I grew up on the southside of Chicago and rainbow cone was a staple in our family. It's still amazing and I am over joyed to have a piece of home so close by! read more
