Twist Lil Standard
Micki P.

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.

Chocolate strawberry swirl

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.

Blueberry soft serve
Christine L.

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.

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!

Blueberry vanilla swirl in a cake cone
Caroline B.

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

As a sweet treat connoisseur, I can't recommend this place enough. Free sprinkles? Amazing cones? 10/10 I'll be back

The line stretched out the door and down the sidewalk.  Maybe 50 deep?

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.

Blueberry vanilla swirl with cheesecake topping. Lil standard size is big!
Shaina B.

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!

Vanilla soft serve with sea salt and cookie dough

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.

We unfortunately had a not-so-good experience here. We arrived around 10pm on a Thursday. The…read morehubs had gone upstairs for a grilled cheese but I wanted a burger... Should have eaten upstairs. The wait for ordering was not long which is a plus. However I feel their ordering system could be a little more streamlined, there are a lot of clicks for each item. I am used to SS in Chicago and it's the same there too. I ordered nothing crazy, a cheeseburger with added pickles and some fries, and an Arnold Palmer (50/50 lemonade and tea). We waited at our table and eventually got the text our food was ready but it took over 10 minutes after that to come out. At one point they tried to bring us someone else's food and they seemed very confused about it when we said that wasn't my order. I confirmed before we left that we didn't make a mistake while ordering so it wasn't something we did. When the food did come out it had clearly been sitting for some time. The bun had not been fully cut in half and this was not even visible inside the wrapping. It was crumpled up in a cold soggy mess at the bottom of the wrapping and was inedible. I essentially ate a naked burger. The cheese had solidified and was not at all melted showing how long the food was sitting. The fries were thankfully not cold but lukewarm at best. And to top it off my drink was incorrect, it tasted and looked like strawberry lemonade. I ended up throwing much of the meal in the trash. The person delivering the food should have noticed this was not up to par and sent it back. The cleanliness was also not up to the standard I expect at SS but considering their location and time of day I would give them a pass. Would not recommend coming here after hours.

Shake Shack is always a solid go to when you want a good burger and fries. The burger was juicy,…read morethe bun was soft, and everything tasted fresh. The fries were hot and crispy and the shake was thick and really good. Service was quick and the place was clean, which I always notice. The only reason I'd give it four stars instead of five is the price. It's a little higher than most fast food spots, but the quality is definitely better. Overall it's a good stop when you want something quick that still tastes like real food. I'd come back.
