Get directionsThe Ice Cream Cone
The Ice Cream Cone has been scooping in Coligny Plaza since 1971, which makes it one of the oldest businesses on the plaza, and in summer the line often reaches out the door. The plaza lists it as the Coligny Ice Cream Cone; on the island it is just the Cone. The walls are covered in movie posters redone with cows, which children love.
Flavors and Dietary Options
There are 78 hand-scooped flavors, plus sundaes, shakes, malts, floats and old-fashioned sodas, and the signature flavor is the Sea Turtle. For dairy-free guests there are pineapple and strawberry Dole Whip, sorbets and vegan cookies-and-cream and cookie-dough ice cream. Note that the chocolate and vanilla soft serve is sold as non-dairy but contains sodium caseinate, a milk derivative, so it is not safe for a milk allergy. There are also no-sugar-added flavors. Reviewers say the staff handle allergy questions carefully and keep the line moving.
Hours
Hours change with the season, from about 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. in summer to 1 to 7 p.m. in winter, so call ahead out of season. The shop is at 1 N Forest Beach Drive, an easy walk from Coligny Beach Park. For more on the plaza, see the Coligny Plaza restaurants, or compare shops across the island on ice cream on Hilton Head.
