Tone’s Cones

I’ve been coming here for two decades. It’s a great little ice cream stand! Use the drive thru or park on the side.

This is a tremendous little seasonal ice cream stand. It is soft served ice cream with a variety of different options: sundaes, cones, splits, malts, shakes, Boston shakes, and speciality mixes. They have slushies and ice cream within the slushies as well. Cookie ice cream sandwiches, belt busters, and the kitchen sink challenge will leave you hurting!
The prices are great and the services is fast. The ice cream servers are usually high school students but they are having a blast making the experience that much more enjoyable for everyone.
BEST OF THE BEST: the S’mores Sundae. This is best I’ve ever had. It is now they layer it and the use of melted marshmallow. Definitely the thing to get for your first visit!
HONORABLE MENTION: the funnel cake sundae
ADVENTURES: Belt Buster challenge | Big Kahuna Split
Tips
1. Cash only
2. Seasonal hours
3. Big portion sizes so try a couple of things via smalls

Very nice staff. Very accommodating. Co worker got the big kahuna banana split and I got the mudslide.
It was great ice cream. However, they scrimped on the hot fudge:
The portions are very big so you could split the split and mudslide.
Very clean. They were cleaning when we walked in and stopped which was nice.
I’m for going back.0
Pricing was reasonable. Worth the trip.

I had the s’more flurry and it is now my favorite flurry/​concrete/​blizzard. Staff was very friendly. If you want some tasty ice cream based treats, you can’t go wrong here.

Very friendly staff! Fast if your going through the drive– thru or if you decide to go inside. I’ve had the cotton candy flurry and the cotton candy dipped cone. SO amazing and unique. They have tons of flavors and fun ways to customize your ice cream! Cute little summer spot for Ottawa. Cash only at this joint!

We took an Ice Cream Tour and stopped by last Sunday. The High school kid behind the counter didn’t seem interested in us, not helpful at all. I tried a fancy dipped cone of chocolate ice cream and my husband had a regular cone. Nothing special, not worth going out your way to get this. Perhaps stop in if it’s open. But it’s pretty standard soft service ice cream you can find anywhere.
We were very disappointed, I even threw away some of my cone.

STOP! This IS the place for ice cream in Ottowa! We stopped last night with kids — each of us got a unique ice cream dish and we all marveled at how yummy it was! They offer traditional and unique items — go for the funnel cake strawberry dish! Came decorated with a streamer! All four of us had dessert for under $ 15. I could ramble all day… Long drive thru line that was as speedy as McDonalds so worth two minute wait for ice cream perfection! Don’t miss it!

This place is a gem! Love stopping by after hiking at the nearby parks! The ice cream cones are the best! They are under $ 2 bucks. Hike all day and stop by for an ice cream treat! Can’t beat that! Wish they were open year round!

Cute Little ice cream shop in downtown Ottawa that is only open during the summer.
Recently I strolled in for a elective banana split memorial «dinner» it was a the request of a family who’s little boy passed as a result of CHD. I after a day at the pool I took my daughter and her friend in to partake in this memorial.
WE walked in and the girls took their seat I ordered the banana split and it was whipped up pretty fast and while I had never had a banana split before it seemed to be put together well, there where 3 high school kids working summer jobs and they where busting there butts at the drive through & waiting on the customers inside.
If you are looking for exciting ice cream flavors look somewhere else, this place is small on does soft serve but they do very well with what they have.

Nice little ice cream place. Cones are in the 1 – 2 $ price range, which is awesome. Nice range of slushies, shakes, the like.
I was impressed that when their drive-​thru line was backed up a few cars, one of the workers came out of the back and walked up to people’s cars and took their orders. I like that.
A very nice small-​town soft-​serve shop. Great for summer.

Best Ice Cream in the Midwest!!!
