These swirly soft-serve cones from a pastry god

Trust Dominique Ansel to do soft-serve right.

Staying cool with a Burrata soft serve cone, with balsamic caramel, microbasil, and a confit strawberry hidden inside the cone. Our soft serve window is open every Wednesday-Sunday here at @DominiqueAnselKitchen all summer long. #HappySummer #softserve #DominiqueAnselKitchen #WestVillage

…and these cones’ gorgeous lack thereof

This cone from Frankie & Jo’s is for those who prefer a more subtle goth effect.

Black ice cream is definitely trending. Weekend goals: find black ice cream! Halloween goals: Serve black ice cream!

And this one from Little Damage is a little more over-the-top.

There’s a lot going on here

That’s soft serve and caramel popcorn and a toasted marshmallow emerging from a cloud of fairy floss at Aqua S.
