Open seasonally from March to October. Dates vary. They tend to have less choices as Cromwell but usually have about 15 to 20 flavors of hard ice cream. They also serve frozen yogurt and soft serve. Some flavors are main stays with constant specials. My favorite may have been the Chunky. I did nearly have a midlife crisis when the teenager working didn't know there was a candy bar Chunky when I asked if the flavor was the candy. Location is a walk up with a couple of benches in their parking lot. Weekends you should expect lines as people are heading down 17 to 79 for the shoreline. Just like Cromwell, servings are generous.

The line is usually never ending with it wrapped around the building, we waited about 15 minutes or so and the line steadily moved within reason. I got the toasted coconut and HOLY COCONUT. This was probably the most packed with coconut I've ever had. Creamy coconut ice cream with chunks of lightly toasted coconut Chocolate topped with Twix and creamsicle were also a sweet treat. The candies tasted a little stale though. The creamsicle was their special that we had to try. Orange sherbet with vanilla ice cream soft serve swirl

They had 28 standard ice cream flavors, plus 8 flavors of the moment,one was a vegan flavor,and one was a sugar-free flavor. Not sure what you want. They offer free samples.

They have both indoor and outdoor seating, and there is plenty of parking in their large parking lot. The store was very clean, and they had plenty of friendly staff on hand to help you. I will definitely be returning to try more flavors.

About 40 flavors of hard ice cream, some of which rotate by season. They also have soft serve, but you go there for the hard stuff. I had two scoops. One each of pure Madagascar vanilla, and banana. Both divine. You could see and taste small chunks of banana. Naturally, I got a brain freeze after about 30 seconds. Am intrigued by "6 flights for $10.20". Next time. 5 smooth, creamy, dense stars!

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 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 pastries were super good very soft and moist. There were several options to choose from but I settled for a combo of fruity pebbles and cinnamon roll and it was a 10/10. The service was fairly quick considering there was only one person working at the time that we arrived and surprisingly even though it was a weekend there weren't many people around. The shop itself is extremely small and there are two entrances in order to get in however the second entrance to get into the shop is a bit smaller than the first it shouldn't be a problem for most but if you have a large mobility chair it may be difficult to get in. Overall it was an amazing desert bar and I will definitely be stopping by again when I am in town!
