Cone Brothers Ice Cream & Candy

Now that yogurt spots are a dime a dozen, ice cream spots like Cone Brothers are a diamond in the rough. And for the name alone, good job guys. This place opened about six years ago according to the scooper on duty, which means somebody was on the ball with the pun. I hope the Coen brothers stop by someday.
Located in a odd little strip mall in Richfield, this shop is my stop when I’m driving home from someplace like the zoo back to my home. It’s just a few miles south of 62.
Yippy Skippy. Fat Elvis. And for the kids, Super Man. Caramel Chaos. Hurrah!
Two people came in and ordered chicago style hot dogs while we were there. Huh.

This is the best place to get ice cream! My family loves coming here, great flavors, great service and a unique store!

Great ice cream! Easy to miss location and tight parking, but great service and nice variety of flavors.

Decent place a little off the beaten path. Born and raised on Chocolate Shoppe Ice Cream so that was a treat. No sundaes mainly cones and malts only $ 4 bucks for a single is a bit much. Would probably only stop again if in the neighborhood. Cool collectables and an old jukebox playing 45’s.

Had a great experience on my first visit. All of the flavors looked so tasty, I had a really hard time deciding! The gentleman who helped me was very patient while I deliberated. :) The ice cream was delicious, and the little table outside was a nice place to sit and enjoy a sunny summer day (my visit was on ⁷⁄₂₉).

This place has delicious ice cream! Around $ 4 for a single scoop.
However, service here wasn’t all too great. We brought two kids with school coupons for free cones. Myself and someone else bought a smoothie and got a scoop of ice cream. They didn’t seem too happy when we brought the coupons. Service wasn’t too friendly.
Don’t let that stop you. Try their different flavors! The kids really loved it! Coming back for sure! Such a small place. Everyone misses it.

Found this place via Unilocal when I was in the area. The shop is awesome, like walking into an old ice cream shop of the 50s. Ice cream is amazing. Very fresh and a great selection. The guys slinging cones was very cool. Such a great find.

Delicious ice cream, kind owner, and excellent atmosphere.

We didn’t even know this place existed, it is hidden so well in a small Richfield strip mall that we drive by ALL the timel. We found it by searching «ice cream» on Unilocal’s map and decided to try it. It is quaint and cute with tons of charm but the point of this review is to tell you the ice cream is sooooooooooooo good! The gentleman who helped us was above and beyond friendly and I’m craving the ice cream already. Don’t miss this place!!!

Heard they had a nice candy selection so I brought my son to check it out.
Off course kids take there time looking things over, especially candy. The owner dude kept an eye on us like we going to stuff our pockets with candy and split. I tried to make small talk with him but he wanted no part of it. Felt very uncomfortable so I rushed my son on picking some candy to get the heck out of there. Appears we offended him for not buying much.
Oh, by the way, who weighs ice cream before they serve it to the customer? We this guy does. You think he would no how much to scoop into a cup after doing it for several years.
Won’t be going back here.
Wish it was still Gary’s Ice Cream. His family was friendly and pleasent.

Located in a small strip mall in Richfield, Cone Brothers offers tasty ice cream topped with service marked by surly sass. The logistics of the shop itself could use some adjustments as the ice cream is displayed in the back of the narrow storefront and that creates some crowding issues on busy days. Otherwise the ice cream is quality. Cone Brothers is yet another place that serves Madison Chocolate Shoppe Ice, which is some of the creamiest, rich and inventive ice cream suppliers in the world. Cone Brothers, however, doesn’t offer as many flavors as Lyndens in St. Paul (I’ve been there three times and never had kitty kitty bang bang). The store owner often works the store front. He’s working-​class friendly, communicating with his customers using witty dry-​humor. Prices are comparable to other ice cream shops. The location and lack of outdoor seating are the biggest downsides to this ice cream shop.

This tiny ice cream store has tons of candy and Wisconsin creamery ice cream. My kid loves it, and it’s very close to home as well. I can see us stopping here many times over the summer!

Decent little neighborhood ice cream shop with 1950s-​style décor and lots of little car and vintage gas station models. Also sells old school candy and soda in glass bottles. Not very big inside, but the ice cream flavors rotate every pretty regularly. I can’t tell if the owner is just not terribly social or just doesn’t like that I pay with a credit card for $ 6 worth of ice cream all the time. Sorry, dude, I don’t really carry cash.

Cute little ice cream shop! These folks offer the same brand as Nelson’s in Stillwater, so I knew it’d be good.
You can’t go wrong with Zanzibar Chocolate in one of the best tasting sugar cones I’ve had in a while.

Located in the tiniest strip mall I’ve ever seen. i like that the name reflects that it sells ice cream. It’s actually the same brand that they sell at Lynden’s in St. Paul, out of Madison, WI. It reflects music retro and has great photos of singers on the wall. Since they both sell the same brand, my rating is besides it tasting good, it’s a nickel less than Lynden’s, and they give you more in one scoop. Grand Creamery charges $ 4 per scoop, it’s huge, but I think the ratio of price and amount equal out. I wish they opened a little earlier, 1:00 seems strange, since it goes great with the Phở two doors down.

Yum. Excellent and unique flavors! It looks like they order the ice cream from WI, who I hate to give props to, but, Go Wisconsin!
I can’t remember the name of mine, something skippy, what I can remember is that it was SO divine, I couldn’t get it out of my mind and had to go back the next day for a fix. It had peanut butter ice cream, brownie chunks (hell yes), pretzels and choco bits. Hallelujah, I have found a winning combination.
The prices were very reasonable at $ 3 and the location can’t be beat.
Tip-​they are modeled after an old fashioned soda shop and are full of retro candies, they might even have those awesome mini wax bottles that have juice in them. Please tell me you know what I’m talking about…

We’d been to whatever this was before it was Cone Brothers once or twice, so we were a little leary to enter this shop after it was recently revamped. HOWEVER, we are so glad we did! I like the ice cream flavors here a lot. Sure, they don’t make it, but you’ll find some wonderful flavors from Wisconsin you may not find anywhere else. The hot dogs weren’t outstanding, but I don’t really eat hot dogs anyway (only bought them when they were on some promotion).

This is such a cute little shop. It’s got a 1950s retro feel, and there are about 20 different types of ice cream to choose from. The prices are very reasonable, and the gentleman who was working behind the counter was very polite. It was so difficult to choose a flavour! I’ll definitely be back soon.

We stopped by for Penn Fest because these guys had the best deal around — hot dogs for $ 0.66, small ice cream cones for $ 0.66, and free soda. As you can imagine, they were packed! It’s a tiny place, but the two employees managed to keep up with the demand. There are only 3 – 4 tables available inside, but they had a couple tables outside, too.
I loved the turtle ice cream. I’ll definitely be back with the boys.

The thought of Ice Cream, brings to mind-«Ice Cream, Ice Cream, we all Scream for Ice Cream».Well I found a Sweet New Spot to get my Fix on. I was buzzing down Penn Ave. last week & noticed this new Ice Cream Parlor, I turned around to check it out. Cozy place, brand spanking new. So many choices, what to do? Then I saw Fat Elvis: Banana Ice Cream, Peanut Butter Ripple all up & thru, & Chocolate Shavings — OMG, & now I know what the King meant, cause I was nothing but a Hound Dog for this flavor!!! Oh Yea, it gets better yet, I topped it with an unhealthy & proud scoop of Licorice, & then SPRINKLE ME THIS, Baby!!! All on top of a Waffle Cone, there goes the Diet, WORTH IT!!! The combo sounds weird, but it was Decadent!! Got to chatting it up with one of the Bros, Jock, & he tells me they are adding Chicago Style Dogs & Brats (will they change the name to Cone & Pup Brothers?), not that Veg Head me salivates at the thought, but it brings out the WURST in the Brat & Hot Doggers in my life, which means more indulging in Fat Elvis for Moi. FYI, they also have other exotic flavors, Fro Yogurt, Italian Ice, & are planning to get Gelato (Yay).Since the Gelato Place in Calhoun Square disappeared, there has been no where to get Gelato, which once you’ve had it, you are a Connoisseur. Well the next time I find myself Screaming for Ice Cream, I know just where to shut me up, & fill my Ice Cream Hole with some of the best I’ve ever had outside of Italy. That’s the Scoop–
