There are lots of flavors of ice creams to choose from. Toppins and syrups are offered upon request if u are choosing your own combination. Great quality, flavor and service. At the entrance there are few games for the little ones. Inside there is a cute little train going around on the top of the store. My ice cream was great, smooth and rich, I even forgot to take photos. This photo is from my husbands Sunday π€© They sell balloons, I saw a lot of options, but I didnt buy any.
Ive been here twice. Most recent visit was last Friday, I enjoyed a nice soft serve cotton ice cream. Hit the spot. This is a cool unique shop. The inside of the ice cream shop has a toy train that hangs from the ceiling that continously goes around on the track which is pretty cool. The service is friendly and they a nice variety of flavors.
Our familys all time favorite! Weve been coming here for years. Family owned and run. Always clean, kind well trained staff, not to mention THE BEST ice cream!! They have great places to sit outside, small toys to play on for kids, and chess & checkers for tabletops to amuse adults plus a ring game. My teens still love coming here!
In Asheville for a conference. Needed quick take out and found excellent service here. Extremely polite and service oriented. Not only that the food was delicious.
They have a good selection of ice cream flavors and a nice seating area (which was closed when I went due to Covid). Ive never seen an ice cream shop with a plant nursery so this was a very interesting experience for me. Overall I would recommend this place for anyone looking for a classic ice cream shop experience.
Great family place! Great Ice cream with great prices. Staff was friendly and clean. We saw them use sanitizer multiple times. We love to come and watch the train⦠also, spring for the chocolate covered waffle cone.. totally worth it!
Iβve been coming here since I was a kid and the experience is great every time. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Thereβs a reason theyβve been in business this long and continue to thrive.
Its so good! Love going there. Such good ice cream. My dog loves the dog ice cream cup with milk bones.
Great ice cream with so many choices .. it was real hard to figure out do I try new stuff or stay with the tried and true .. we did both .. very creamy and full of favor had real fruit in it .. wish I could handle more samples but there were people waiting for their ice cream too . Had things for the kids to do and this place was so clean . Even the outside was clean . Loved the overhead train set ..they also had plenty of help that were available and friendly .. again a great place to spend after a lunch .Or dinner ..
It was great as alwaysI had not been in there in quite awhileI once got a large milk shake their from back in the late 80s ...it was more like a small pail with a hose...man that thing was huge
My childhood memories are still going whenever I go get ice cream here. Im now 30 and still have nostalgia!
A hidden gem! My first time at Carolina Cones de staff super friendly the ice cream delicious! My dogs were with me and also had a delicious treat. Absolutely recommend you to visit this sweet place!
This place is amazing. Great selection of ice cream and wonderful stuff .
The best local ice cream place around. Excellent selection and quality. Kitschy place that is scrupulously cleaned. Fun!
Love this place. Even has a little play area for kids. Love how i see the owner I believe cleaning the patio every morning :)
Best ice cream in Cornelius. Very friendly staff and good atmosphere!!
Lots of flavors to choose from and friendly staff. Also the garden center is well stocked and beautiful products available.
Very good banana splits. Parking is a bit crazy, but will definitely go again.
Was clean. Service was easy. Almost everyone who came in had a mask on. Our first experience here. Had a brownie boat with Brownie Smore with Pub Crawl. Great flavors. Wasnt as smooth as i would have liked. But we will return and try other flavors.
Friendly people, prompt service and, most importantly, delicious ice cream inots of flavors! We have been going here for years!
Really good icecream
We got a generous pup cup, small sundae and a waffle cone for around 14. Great atmosphere and we love being able to go to small town ice cream shops. Tasted like good quality ice cream.
Had a delicious butter pecan cone here.
Cute, yummy, hometown fun.
Always good stuff here
Awesome soft serve
Super good! Very nice and amazing ice cream. I recommend.
Nice stop for some ice cream
Great atmosphere to bring the kids and good assortment of ice cream. The staff are mostly high school kids and are typically good with the young kids.The play area is nice to help the kids burn off a little energy post-ice cream.Prices are decent and parking is pretty easy.Hat tip to the model train running along the ceiling!
Old school ice cream shop with candy dispensers and an old train running above your head. Ice cream was very good and large portion sizes.
Had everything I came for thank you dont have to look around
The lemon IS great! Tastes like the filling in lemon supreme cookies...milky, not icy. They have a lot of flavors to choose from & a soft serve machine, as well. We like to share a chocolate milkshake...it seems to be our go-to choice.Music has changed...no more cheesy oldies tunes.Theyve added more outdoor seating. Great spot for great ice cream!
The selection of ice cream is excellent. Love the outdoor seating and easy parking.
GRAHAM CRACKER CRUNCH. Neednβt say more, but the prices are quite reasonable. Unique stop for a delicious treat.- Mark VanValkenburgCity of Charlotte
Great ice cream!
Ive never had anything other than outstanding customer service, and their ice cream choices are broad and Ive had almost everything there. Ive been going here since I was younger (years now) and never had a bad batch or a bad experience.
Enjoyed their strawberry & vanilla swirl ice cream cone!!
Cute, local ice cream shop with a variety of tasty flavors and outdoor seating
Carolina Cones has been in business since 1983. Its Corneliuss (NC) summer tradition! The place closes down the middle of November and people eagerly waiting for the spring opening, mid-March. Carolina Cones offers, of course, ice cream-a boat load of flavors, sundaes, shakes, soft drinks, coffee and much more. You can sit inside and enjoy your treat or go outside where there is plenty of seating.
The best spot to take your kids on a summer evening hands down
Classic older ice cream shop. My favorite when i was a kid, still great now. Peppermint ice cream all year long!
Friendly staff and an amazing selection of ice cream!
Great place has a lot of flavors and shakes
Best ice cream around. No they dont have 101 flavors, but what they have is wonderful. Love the quirks too. Train running around a track placed above the seating area. Novelty balloons on the ceiling, a mini carousel, out door seating,
Always friendly and helpful. Family owned & operated.
Wow, I always wanted to try this place out. Customer svc sucks. Two young guys working. I had questions for them and the answer I get is yup and walked off. They acted as if I was bothering them by coming in.
A very homey place. Feels old fashioned in a good way, ice cream is delicious, fair prices. Thereβs also a plant nursery connected to it
Nothing much better than spending a hot summer day on the lake at the YMCA with your boy and getting some delicious ice cream, soft serve or slushie. They have a million little quarter machine toys, ballons and a running model train. I counted at least 24 flavors of ice cream and 8 flavors of soft serve. It was great, so was the staff. Thank you
LOVE this place!! It is a tradition for me and my boys, because weve been coming here together since they were babies! Neat atmosphere with a running train inside at the ceiling, a gazebo out front, and playground outside
DELICIOUS!! π¦
Nice place to get ice cream with the family in the summer.
Love their ice cream! Nice size servings and usually really nice and speedy. Kids love the toy train.
Place is simply outstanding. Just top notch!
Carolina Cones never fails to hit the spot. The kids in there are always so nice and they dont skimp out on the ice cream either, my cone is always LOADED. The train is also pretty sweet.
Great ice cream and a very friendly staff. There is a pretty cool train inside and fun activities for children out side
We love this place.
This is my daughter and myselfs favorite treat place at the lake. Delicious ice cream and great service from young people. In the spring you have the flower/plant nursery attached owned by same family. Great locally owned business!
Carolina Cones is one of the hidden jewels in Charlotte. Family oriented great atmosphere and the best ice cream on the lake. My daughter and i simply love it
This place is good but not as good as whits second best in Davidson area
I was in Carolina Cones the other day and I had one of the most pleasurable expiriences in recent memory. Conesmen Brody and Kyle were both incredibly helpful and did a fantastic job helping me find a flavor I like. I got Superhero Vanilla!!!! Thank you to Brody and Kyle for being helpful and making my experience a 5 Star time!
This place has great atmosphere and is very family oriented. Best ice cream in Charlotte
Ice cream is excellent. Sundae was horrible. 1/3 of cup was chocolate syrup,about 3 tablespoons of ice cream, rest is imitation whipped cream. Not worth $5
Vanilla soft icecream was gritty and had thick pieces of butter or greasy chunks throughout the ice cream. I let my husband try it and he said it was not good. The other cone was a waffle cone with hard scooped vanilla ice cream. He said the cone was stale but ice cream ok..
Tasty place to grab ice cream .
Great place. Ice cream is delicious. Play area for the kids
Good ice cream, plenty of flavors, and fair pricing. My only complaint is that the ice cream is not made by them. Not sure who manufactures the ice cream.
Ice cream is delicious with a wide variety to choose from. Great family atmosphere.
Great selection, friendly young staff and cool atmosphere. Try the Ring Swing game out front and see if you are up for the challenge!
One of the best places in the Carolinas for real ice cream! So good and the staff is exceptional
Very family friendly place with a great atmosphere and superb ice cream! Almost like going back in time.
Discovered this place, taking a detour. Fantastic selection! Delicious flavor!
Has best ice cream ever!
Great ice cream shopRetro experienceLots of childhood memories at this placeAlways gonna be a favorite for me
Loved it! Seems that I have to budget a piece of my paycheck every weekend now...
Great place for anything ice cream... takes you back to a good time
Good ice cream and fun outside activities for kids. Great value.
This place is AMAZING! Old school feel, playground for the kids, merry go round, outdoor and indoor tables, staff is beyond friendly, generous portions and delicious icecream!
I came in and ordered a one scoop ice cream cone in a sugar cone. Imagine my surprise when the guy behind the counter told me it was $4! When I asked him why it was so expensive he had no answer accept to say that Ben & Jerrys was more expensive than them. He was very nonchalant and could care less that I was upset about the price. They had already made the ice cream cone so I had to buy it but I would never do that again. I could buy a half gallon of ice cream for that price! The service was terrible and as I started eating my ice cream cone in my car I realized the sugar cone was all soft because it had been left out in the air on the counter and was not crunchy. So what a waste of $4! Wont go back again!
Wonderful place with just enough charm to make it an experience. Oh, the ice cream is great too!
What a great place. Ice cream and customer service at its best. Plus a train that runs around the ceiling and nice outdoor seating!
Great service, affordable prices, even a train that goes around (!) Would definitely recommend this place.
Who doesnβt love ice cream?!π
Great ice cream..my kids love to go here
Good ice cream with lots of outdoor space.
Not fancy, but good ice cream!
