★★★★★ 5.0 Lisa Schultz · Feb 2026

GREAT service from Daniel S. It was our 1st time here! I loved the pirate bounty & waffle cone. The icecream & mini donuts were VERY good! The donuts were soft and so cute! My son loved his icecream! He had the birthday cake & superman! It is absolutely adorable inside.

Very fun whimsical ice cream spot that is very aesthetically pleasing with its decor and holiday setup. I chose their butter nut ice cream with 2 scoops in a cup and that was super tasty. I do regret not getting their specialty cone with multiple slices of different ice cream flavors but that's for next time for certain. Prices are reasonable and staff were helpful as well.as friendly. Would love to come back for more treats!

It is a shame that Rainbow Cone has lost this much quality. My family and I used to love this place but this time it was not meeting expectations. After asking, we found out that the donuts that were advertised as "hot and fresh" on the window were actually previously frozen and cold. To be clear, none of this was the employees fault. It makes me sad to know that this places quality has so rapidly deterioated.

We just left the Lombard location. Great service and great ice cream. We had a strawberry sundae and a turtle sundae. The Mrs. forgot to ask for vanilla ice cream in her strawberry sundae(they used strawberry ice cream). They both were good. This location has become our summer ice cream spot this year.
