It started with one simple idea…Why choose just one flavor? 🌈🍦

Since 1926, the Original Rainbow Cone has been stacking five flavors into one iconic bite: Chocolate, Strawberry, Palmer House, Pistachio Almond, and Orange Sherbet.

A Chicago classic then. Still the cone everyone comes back for a century later. The magic has always been in the stack.

We’re incredibly proud to celebrate Rainbow Cone Cypress for being named Small Business of the Year by the https://www.facebook.com/cypresschamber/

Seeing them honored in their local community is a reflection not only of the incredible team behind the location but also of the warmth, hospitality, and neighborhood spirit they bring to the Rainbow Cone experience every day.

Since 1926, Rainbow Cone has been built on one simple idea: life’s too short for just one flavor. What began in Chicago as a creative, joy-filled ice cream experience has grown into a brand rooted in family tradition, community connection, and creating smile-sparking moments one cone at a time.

Congratulations to the entire Cypress team on this well-earned recognition, and thank you to the Cypress community for supporting them along the way.

If you’re nearby, stop in and help us celebrate.

What people say

The Original Rainbow Cone is a true gem in the world of ice cream shops. Since 1926, they have been serving up their famous ice cream cones that are a work of art in themselves. The way they blend colors and flavors is reminiscent of great artists like Picasso and Frank Lloyd Wright. But it's not just about the aesthetics - the taste is what really sets them apart. Each slice is a testament to the time-honored craftsmanship that has made them a Chicago favorite for almost a century.

Their feature flavors are always worth trying, and they even offer late-night hours so you can satisfy your sweet tooth whenever the craving strikes. And if you're looking for something extra special, try pairing their Blue Sky ice cream with mini donuts on National Donut Day - it's a heavenly combo!

But what really makes The Original Rainbow Cone stand out is the sense of community they foster. They encourage customers to tag their friends and share in the joy of their delicious treats together. So whether you're visiting alone or with friends, The Original Rainbow Cone is sure to be an unforgettable experience that celebrates both tradition and innovation in every scoop.
