The Original Rainbow Cone

I'm so grateful they finally put a location closer to the downtown touristy area! This is my absolute favorite ice cream, and I live in California. Whenever I visit, this is one of my must-haves, but it was so hard to get as their original location is further south of Chicago. It's basically a small food court like space and they have their own set up inside. I got their ice cream in 40 degree weather and I had no regrets. Thank you for making it easier for us out-of-towners to enjoy this delicious treat.

Had to get the unofficial ice cream of Chicago. I was excited to see a Michigan Ave location, located next to Ginos East. My boyfriend got the original rainbow cone and now wants to go back again today. I've had that before so tried this chocolate obsession and was not disappointed. We have a few more days in Chicago, I'm guessing with a few more trips here.

Unique taste treats in the heart of Chicago. This little counter is right inside the entrance to Gino's East. Counter service was slow but friendly. The treats themselves are fun and especially good for kids or the young at heart.

Hands down the most interesting icecream I have ever tried. Original rainbow cone has been a Chicago staple for a long time and it never disappoints. All the flavors on the cone are so creamy and delicious. The orange sherbet and the pistachio flavors are my favorite. The Palmer House is such an interesting flavor. It's fun to try all of these flavors together, and strangely they work together well too. One interesting thing to note is that the icecream is cut and then stacked on to the cone, they don't scoop! The service has always been great! The staff is friendly and are patient when you keep trying all the flavors before ordering. A must visit!

Taste the Rainbow Come! for our first time trying this it was outstanding!! On a nice hot sunny day in Chicago this ice cream is needed and it's so delicious! Every layer to it is yummy yummy in our tummies and just look at it! The colors themselves make you want to eat it all up! The people who worked there were very sweet and such a cute bright place!

First dessert, then ice cream. I learned about The Original Rainbow Cone two weeks ago but I didn't realize it was available at Navy Pier and the stand at the White Sox game had run out of cones and I knew I wanted the real experience, not just in a bowl. So this week I trekked around the city and found the nearest location on my walk. I enjoyed the flavor combos-including those I'd never tried like pistachio and Palmer House. I made it through the strawberry although it is still my least favorite flavor. Overall it was a great treat. Definitely worth trying! Staff were nice and quick. Waited a max of five minutes in line and less than that to get my ice cream.

Ordered the Palmer house and rainbow cone. Super friendly staff and quick service but the ice cream tasted pretty basic and just like any other generic brand but the layers were cool.

The idea of diff flavors is aesthetically pleasing but tasting them all together wasn't the best which is why I knocked one star. Service was quick and got my ice cream fix.

Wow, what a delicious way to end a wonderful trip to Chicago with the Original Rainbow Cone! I am so glad we did not miss out of this culinary experience before departing because each layer of flavor was yummy. They include slices of orange sherbet, Palmer house, chocolate, and strawberry. Palmer house was my favorite as I liked the variety of mix-ins. The staff here is very friendly and service is great. I do wish there was some seating available specifically for the store. It is part of a cozy indoor area that also includes a pizza place and a bar. Nevertheless, it is great opportunity to grab a scoop or stack of scoops and take a stroll around the city.

Was told by a native a must try treat and I'd agree. Made our walk along the riverfront all the more enjoyable. Layers of refreshingly sweet Orange Sherbet, Pistachio, Palmer House, Strawberry, and Chocolate. In a cake cone served with a considerate ice cream buddy so if it melts, it doesn't get all over your hands. Highly recommend!
