The Original Rainbow Cone, located in Mount Prospect, IL, has been a beloved destination for nearly a century, serving up smiles and delicious ice cream creations. As the countdown begins to their 100th birthday, they are gearing up for a year-long celebration, offering fans the chance to win free cones for a year through monthly contests.

With a legacy dating back to 1926, this Chicago tradition still delights customers with their signature five-flavor cones: Chocolate, Strawberry, Palmer House, Pistachio, & Orange Sherbet. Unlike traditional ice cream shops, they slice the flavors into cones or cups, providing a unique and delightful experience for ice cream enthusiasts.

In addition to their iconic cones, The Original Rainbow Cone offers a range of treats, including mini donuts made to order and ice cream cakes featuring their famous flavors layered on top of a delicious cake. With new locations opening up and options for nationwide delivery, customers can easily bring a taste of Rainbow Cone happiness to any event or celebration.
