The Original Rainbow Cone
About
The Original Rainbow Cone has sliced five flavors into one cone on Western Avenue since 1926, and the pink building at 92nd Street is the original shop of what is now a family-owned chain with locations and trucks across Chicagoland. The order is the Rainbow Cone: chocolate, strawberry, Palmer House (vanilla with cherries and walnuts), pistachio almond and orange sherbet, sliced rather than scooped. The Beverly shop also sells ice cream cakes, super sundaes with mini donuts, and hot mini donuts made to order, with a $5 happy hour on weekday afternoons.
