Flavors differ at both locations. Their social media is minimal and on Facebook. Portions are huge. I generally get a small which is two large scoops. If I'm only wanting a single flavor I get the kiddie cup and it's a large serving. Flavors vary throughout the season with a some flavor mainstays. Come hungry! Opened from March to October. Exact dates vary each year. Open seven days a week and generally open on holidays like Easter, Memorial Day, Labor Day. Location is a walk up with 3 outdoor tables with a table umbrella.

Parked in the lower lot which is not accessible at all for people with disabilities. Took me forever to figure out what I wanted, grabbed a banana split for the healthy option with a banana included lol. I had Mint, Smores and Dark Chocolate Raspberry Truffle for ice cream flavors with all the fixings. Mint was the best choice, could have done without the other two. I will be back for a normal ice cream sometime.

Big portions of the ice cream for a modest price. As for the ice cream itself, it was a little hit or miss with our family. We loved most of the flavors (particularly the salted caramel) but the mint chip was a little toothpastey taste. I'd skip that the next go around. But otherwise, friendly people and a nice way to spend a summer evening

Honeycone is a wonderful little ice cream shop that I stumbled upon while checking out some shops…read morein Cheshire. They offer a variety of seasonal flavors, and they've just swapped to their winter ones! I got a cup with gingerbread ice cream and chocolate orange ice cream. There were a bunch of other flavors though, like a peppermint one and eggnog! Since there's a good number of seasonal flavors, it was hard to figure out which one to try! While they unfortunately don't offer samples, they do offer an ice cream flight with 6 small scoops for $13.50. Tempting, but I unfortunately didn't need 6 scoops so I went with just the two! A cute option nonetheless. They do let you mix and match flavors of the scoops you get, so I got to try two. The flavors were phenomenal, I was so happy to get try them. What a pleasant little surprise in the middle of a cute shopping area!! I certainly recommend it here.

The shop is super inviting and nicely set up. All of the scoopers are beyond friendly and sweet, and terrific at what they do. I think sundae construction is an extremely underrated thing that I, admittedly, can be a bit of snob about. They are all masters. Nearly all toppings and elements are homemade, as well as all of their own creamy, while not excessively heavy, ice cream flavors! Even the dairy free options are excellent, and I couldn't even detect a difference. I have been 3 times recently, and most recently had one of the best ice cream experiences of my entire life (if not the best, and all 3 times have been among the top actually). I had a scoop of "Pride" (cake batter with funfetti cake chunks) & a scoop of dairy free blueberry lemon poppyseed in a waffle cone. The extra large homemade cone was crisp and perfection. The Pride flavor was a rare instance of cake batter ice cream not tasting artificial, having an aftertaste, or being overly sweet. The cake chunks were massive. The blueberry lemon poppyseed was utter brilliance. A bright base with all the flavor of the finest lemon poppyseed muffin you could imagine with thick ribbons blueberry , I'll call it a compote (pure fresh saucy blueberry). The other 2 stops I made I ordered sundaes. The first was their May mocha sundae including chocolate cake sandwiched between 2 scoops of espresso chip ice cream with mocha sauce, a biscotti, whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles. The second was their classic sundae with brownie between 2 scoops of your choice (tiramisu & blueberry), walnuts, hot fudge, whipped cream and a cherry. Both were phenomenal and I love the presentation. The assembly, ratio of toppings and honestly every aspect of the sundae is perfect. I go at off times so I love sitting on one of the 2 benches out front. So relaxing. They also sell pints to go. I can't say enough good things. Honeycone is a true gem, as good as an ice cream shop gets. Definitely check them out and support this incredible place!!

They are located center of town on Main Street and they also have a truck that you may spot at local events. I was able to experience both the shop and truck. The owners are absolutely the sweetest.
