Check Out The Creative Cones We've Seen This Summer

Remember how, way back when, if you wanted ice cream in a cone, you used to have a choice of only cake, sugar, or waffle cones? Then came waffle cones dipped in chocolate, and maybe with sprinkles on the rim. We’re way past those days now.

The past few years have been ramping up to a creative-cone explosion, and we’re going to declare that it’s finally here. Check out a few of the different types of ice cream cones we’ve seen this summer.

Some brightly colored cones

You’ve got to match your ice cream to your cone to your nails. We recommend choosing your flavors from The Konery in advance so that you can plan your manicure accordingly.

And some “goth” cones

Several places are doing charcoal-colored cones; the ones from Little Damage may just be our favorite.

It’s…both a fish and a…unicorn?

These cones from Taiyaki NYC are a little confusing, but we’d still eat ’em.
We couldn’t think of a corny pun… unicorny pun? Available this Friday (5/26) ~~ #unicorn #taiyakinyc

And if these aren’t enough ice cream options, you could always try a churro ice cream sandwich, or ice cream in a doughnut. Really, these days, the sky’s the limit.
