A classic ice cream cone is one of my favorite treats, so I had to try this new spot. I stopped in one evening after a dinner with friends, and I was able to get in the door and order within 3 minutes. It can get busy, though. I returned another time and the line was long out the door so far that I decided not to try again. Keep that in mind when planning a visit. I love the simple yet inviting blue & white color scheme, giving contemporary ice cream shop vibes. There's free street parking. Love: service (kind & helpful); vanilla/ blueberry swirl (creamy, good flavor, great price options, fresh cone) read more

My friend told me about this really great ice cream shop in east Nashville, so I was eager to try. I sampled the blueberry flavor, which is what they are known for -- incredible-- and finalized on getting the vanilla/blueberry swirl soft serve cone. The cream was so fluffy and soft and tasted so fresh! The service was welcoming and the employees all presented as pleasant. Although the line can get long in this place, the service was not slow! The decor and ambiance of Cone Cept is well thought out and super duper cute! The theme of blueberry is woven into the color palate--soft blue + white + a raspberry motif throughout the entire establishment. The ice cream counter, artwork, employee wardrobe and smock, etc--all a touch of attention to detail! I can't wait to go back. read more

This place already gets so many points for ambiance. It was truly so cute inside with the checkered floors. The staff was so incredibly nice and helpful. They also allow you to sample any of their flavors which is nice. We got the vanilla and blueberry swirl with sprinkles and it was so good! read more

Cone Cept - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

It's a cute little speciality shop, with a kind person checking people out with free parking! There is not much indoor seating but it is possible to find a spot to sit, several tables outside. There was something so nice about the simplicity of not a ton of flavors, but some may see this as a con - we did not! They let you taste test which is great; and didn't rush us in decision making! Our party ordered the chocolate fudge sundae (solid chocolate fudge), their blueberry vanilla swirl and their chocolate custard. read more

Cone Cept - I love their small sizing options! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Cone Cept is tucked into what appears to be the basement of an old church building in the middle of a residential neighborhood. The location is unexpected enough that you wonder if Apple Maps has led you astray. But maybe it really was a church, because the ice cream is next level - possibly even holy. Ultra creamy, ridiculously good, and topped with rainbow sprinkles because apparently I'm still 9 years old when given the option. They're also lightning fast. I'm not sure I've ever seen a cone go from order to hand that quickly. Great ice cream. Weird location. Lightning-fast service. Holy ice cream. My kinda church! Amen. read more

Cone cept is the newest, kitschiest addition to the Eastwood Village mixed use development off Chapel Ave. A tiny but well designed spot next to the plant shop, it focuses on soft serve ice cream with fun toppings. Soft serve is my favorite style of ice cream, so I was really excited about this spot! Cone cept promises a limited selection of interesting, fresh flavors: the current menu offers vanilla, blueberry, a swirl of vanilla/blueberry, chocolate, strawberry, or a swirl of chocolate/strawberry, with a long list of traditional toppings and sauces. You can get your ice cream in a cup, sugar cone, or freshly made waffle cone, OR turn it into a sundae or shake. The ice cream really leans into soft here, and it feels quite melty as soon as you get your treat. I opted for the blueberry vanilla swirl on the rec of the associate, with crushed Oreos and hot fudge in a mini size. It was $4.39, which I thought was quite reasonable and was the perfect little sweet after lunch nearby. I wasn't particularly wowed by the flavor - the blueberry tasted a bit artificial, and as stated before, it melted incredibly quickly as I ate. The toppings were good but not particularly different than I'd get at any other ice cream shop. They have a little indoor bar-style seating, which was great as a solo visitor, or tables outside, which is better for groups. Free parking is easy on the street, and service was very helpful and quick. Overall I liked it, but it didn't wow me. Would certainly come here again when in the neighborhood, but wouldn't go out of my way for it. read more

Cute little ice cream shop in a key location where previously you'd only have Jenis to satiate your sweet tooth. They have a few places to sit outside as well as about a dozen seats around their counter. You could always sit on the walls around the building too. Greta fair weather spot to hang. Flavors are fairly limited but what I tried was good. Wife had the blueberry vanilla swirl & I had the chocolate strawberry swirl. Waffle cones looked yummy & I plan on trying one of those next time I'm around. Price was good. Staff worked quickly & were nice. read more

Adorable retro inspired soft serve cafe in East Nashville !! Super cute spot with incredibly kind staff. The soft serve is super customizable and they make some of the best waffle cones i've ever had. Love the cute lil story behind this place displayed in their bathroom. There's usually a line out of the door but it's worth the wait and the line moves quick! read more

I have been a few times now and this is my new favorite ice cream in Nashville!! This is probably the best soft serve ice cream I've ever had- it's so decadent. The blueberry flavor is actually heavenly --- I never thought I could enjoy a blueberry ice cream so much!! And the toppings they offer are premium, the cheesecake bites and cookie dough are 10/10. I am so excited for this place, the flavors they will have in the future, and to see how they continue to grow!! read more

Cone Cept is a lovely little shop serving soft serve ice cream. The ice cream was yummy and I appreciated the blueberry vanilla swirl and the chocolate strawberry swirl. I did find it a little silly that toppings are extra outside of sprinkles and sea salt...as a shop that prides itself on being whimsical and providing joy I would think a few more topping options would be free. Overall, a fun spot - I'm not totally sure I would make the trip back up to it but if we were local I might stop in again. read more

Cone Cept - Vanilla blueberry swirl, chocolate strawberry swirl, lemon creamy - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Cone-cept is a fun spot to experience at least once, especially late at night on a Friday in East. I love that they're open later than most dessert places. When my friends and I went, it was very busy--apparently the line got so long they had to call in extra staff. So we ended up waiting around 40 minutes. Even with the chaos, the staff stayed super upbeat and friendly, which honestly made a big difference! There's great outdoor seating (picnic-benches and tables), and the bathroom was clean. Parking is only street parking though, so we had to park in the nearby neighborhood. I ordered a Lil Standard with both twists (they said I was the first person to order that combo, which made me laugh), so I got to try the blueberry + vanilla twist and the chocolate + strawberry twist with sprinkles. It was alright, but I personally wasn't blown away. Might be on me for ordering all the flavors that melted together, lol My friends ordered the Mélange though and absolutely raved about it. I'd probably try that next time instead. read more

Don't be intimidated by the line as it moves fast! The blueberry ice cream is a must try. I ordered blueberry vanilla swirl in a cake cone with rainbow sprinkles and was not ready for how high they pile the ice cream on top. I also love the bookshop and plant shop nearby which makes it a great post shopping treat read more

Cone Cept - Blueberry vanilla swirl in a cake cone - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

What a gem! This was definitely one of the best soft serves I had because the blueberry flavor was fantastic. Must get!! It wasn't too sweet, tasted like a blueberry fro-yo which was what I was craving. Also I love that the blueberry flavor is blue but they don't use food coloring. In fact it's all natural as they use spirulina. I love that they have so many sizes including petite for a little taste. I got the petite but I regret it, I'll be back for a bigger size! The have a lot of toppings as well and sprinkles is free. I got the cookie dough and it was great. The staff there were also super nice, welcoming, and helpful. Can't wait to try other flavors and items in their menu. Love this addition to east Nashville. read more

We went on a Friday about 7pm and it wasn't too busy. We only waited in line a few minutes. Its location is sort of tucked in a neighborhood. We both got the petites & they were only $2 each!! They were so cute & such a good deal. It was just your traditional soft serve ice cream & basic flavors. You could add toppings for $1 each. They also had cones & waffle cones. We got chocolate & blueberry & strawberry. It was the perfect amount for after dinner. It was cute & clean inside & they had several people working. Fun new ice cream place for sure! read more

Cone Cept - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

A very disappointing addition to the neighborhood. We live within walking distance, and we were hoping this would be a high-quality, fun new addition to the area - especially since it's locally owned (at least as far as I can gather from the purposefully vague online information about the shop). The soft-serve (we had it in a milkshake) tastes like very average, commercial soft-serve base mix. And the lemonade "slushy" drinks are practically identical to something you might find at a gas station or mini mart, but more expensive, or course. The two-person staff clearly lacked adequate basic training as well. The interior design, lighting, and branding is amateur at best. Dark, under-lit, and uncomfortable is how I would describe it. For a company boasting to be founded by "three architects and designers trained to think about space" I can assure you that neither a talented architect or interior designer put their best work into this space. East Nashville needs and embraces new business - especially from local founders. But in a landscape of generic corporate restaurant concepts, we also need excellence and passion in these endeavors. read more

Love the vibe but when it comes to ice cream.... Not sure this is the right place. We did order a milkshake and I realize it is called cone-cept but it was so milky. Basically just milk with Oreo cookies. It was sad :( read more

First impressions are great! When we went they only had the blueberry/vanilla or swirl ice cream available. No problems for me there, as I wanted to give that a try! I got the mini one with sprinkles. It was perfect for just a taste, or a child. It was only $2. They have plenty of topping options to choose from. You order at the cashier and wait for them to build your masterpiece. Then, they have indoor and outdoor seating- though inside might be pretty busy. Its tucked away in east nashville which is a great spot to eat and walk! read more

Young woman coming out of the door says, it tastes like a Frosty. Um, not what you wanna hear. But epitomizes our experience. We waited 30 minutes in line on a Saturday night. Wont do that again for basic soft serve. The problem was totally at the point of sale. Plenty of folks to fill orders, but way way too long to take orders. Customer indecision also contributed. Another register would help. Product wasnt totally frozen. Perhaps related to a busy night. Im one and done. read more

There was a line out the door close to closing, but everyone was friendly and I'm sure it'll die down once time goes on. The blueberry vanilla swirl was delicious, the cheesecake topping was so good and seemed like real cheesecake (not processed or fake), and great prices! So happy to have them in the neighborhood! read more

Great spot with tasty soft serve and good variety of toppings. They make the waffle cones in the shop. The vibe is cool and old school.

Such a cute shop! The staff was super nice, and the ice cream was DELICIOUS. The blueberry is a must try, and I love that sprinkles are free! They are definitely generous with their other toppings, too. Will definitely be back many more times! read more

Ice cream was great, but the service was subpar. Was so excited to try this place, but it was a big disappointment. I asked for the standard cone size and when my order was ready, it was in a cup, then when I said I had ordered a cone, they did not take it back or offer to remake. Not the biggest deal in the world, but won't be back. read more

What a cute ice cream gem! I ordered a standard which was only 6 dollars, and it was definitely large enough to share. I suggest getting toppings for a dollar, which they have a lot of. The staff was also super friendly and helped us pick through their menu. The decor is amazing, this has become my number 1 ice cream place in east Nashville. read more
