The Original Rainbow Cone

Great outdoor stand that features a limited menu of the company's best hits. Service was quick and efficient. Ice cream quality was great!!! As a tourist I recommend this ice cream. I will be.

Only grabbed a cone to say we tried it, but I would've been okay if we didn't grab one.I think a cone is $7 + tax, but at that price point, I would've been better off with a local ice cream shop. The ice cream quality was definitely low-end. It did make for a pretty picture, though.

While roaming around in Navy pier, I stopped by to try the iconic rainbow cone. It was a good ice cream. Palmer house and pistachio were my favorite flavors.

For the summer, this was a great relief to have to help cool down. I love the flavor mix of the rainbow cone and it was the perfect amount. I chose to get a cup since it was a pretty hot day and I was afraid it would melt quickly. However, if you do get a cone, they have you a sleeve to hold that would catch the drips if it starts to melt. There is a little bit of shade around the stand if you would like to eat your ice cream nearby too!

Tastes exactly how it looks - all 5 flavors together wasn't really a great combination but it wasn't bad; it was just fine. Quality of the ice cream and cone felt pretty on the low-end side, like the cheapest "great value" option you'd get at the grocery store, in a big plastic tub. That said, ice cream is ice cream - if you generally like these flavors/style of ice cream, you are unlikely to be disappointed.Definitely fun for taking pictures with and a solid option for beating the heat during the Chicago summer. If you're interested in the taste alone, probably not worth going out of your way for but if a big colorful ice cream cone sounds good to you in the moment, it'll get the job done.

The flavors were nothing to brag about. I got the strawberry and cookies and cream. My husband got the Palmer. We've had far better icecream other places. Only two size options.

This is a great find at this window serve stand at Navy Pier on the South side of the Pier probably about 3/4 quarters out on the pier, a little ways past the theatre. You'll want to get their famous rainbow cone that comes with 5 flavors and as of August 2023 it's 7 dollars. The flavors are Orange Sherbet, Pistachio, Palmer House (has cherry in it), Strawberry, and Chocolate. Whats cool is how they give you the ice cream, they don't scoop it they slice it, so it comes with one flavor on top of another. Not your usual way to get ice cream but oo so worth it. The cone comes with a little protector so your hand doesn't get melted ice cream all over it (smart move guys, SMART MOVE). You can also get wild berry sorbet ice cream or cookies and cream. I do believe you can just get an individual ice cream if you want, but wasn't sure, we went for the 5 flavor original rainbow cone. I for sure would love to try Palmer House on it's own, it was my favorite of the 5 flavors. Whatever you get, just realize that this place and it's growing expansion has been entertaining Chicago and it's guess since 1926, well done Rainbow Cone, you guys are making smiles everyday, both young and old.

Finally, I got a rainbow cone in Chicago. And it was enjoyable having the orange sherbet. The staff yesterday were great. I like that they had the drip guards on the cone as it was a hot one yesterday. Nice treat in the pier.

The Original Rainbow Cone was not a disappointment. We walked by at first and noticed that the line was bout 40 people long. There was no shade so we decided to wait it out. We gave it sometime for the line to die down and eventually it did. This time we only waited about 5 minutes until we got helped. The employee was friendly and our order was simple. We of course had the original cone.The cone was really good. Who could've thought that all the flavors mixed together would make a great combination. We loved it!!We stood by the pier and enjoyed our cones. It's a must try!

If it's a hot sunny day, this is the perfect little giant treat to cool you down next to Lake Michigan with great views. The ice cream was quite delicious and just little surprises throughout the ice cream feast because each layer is different and actually tastes like the flavor it says it would taste. My favorite was the pistachio and cherry layer. It's also such a pretty ice cream. If you want it for the social media, definitely order it with a cone. It's much nicer than in a cup. It also melts quickly so maybe get a cup on the side. It's a lot of ice cream so bet if shared
