The Original Rainbow Cone ®

Sip With Me

This week, we’re getting the scoop- literally - on one of the nation’s favorite, most recognizable ice cream brands- The Original Rainbow Cone! Rainbow Cone is a Chicago-founded ice cream shop serving up ice cream, cakes, donuts, and more. Best known for their original cone, the famous and insta-worthy product is a stack of five flavors: Orange Sherbet, Pistachio, Palmer House, Strawberry, and Chocolate. They “slice (not scoop) these flavors into a cone or a cup” creating a literal rainbow of ice cream magic! There may not be a pot of gold at the end, but your stomach and smile will surely feel like it! Lynn Sapp, Third Generation Owner of Rainbow Cone, joined us to discuss what a rainbow cone is, what has made it a beloved treat over multiple generations, and what it means to be a Chicago business. Founded over 95 years ago by Grandpa Joe Sapp, they’ve kept things pretty much the same and are expanding across the nation! Lynn talks about what it has meant to spread ice cream cheer to new communities and what’s in store for the family business in the coming year. Plus, she shares what new flavors they’ve introduced and what magical holiday treats are available! We scoop five layers of rapid fire at the end, discovering Lynn’s favorite flavor, a cherished memory from the store, what she loves about Chicago, and her favorite cocktail (which does involve ice cream)!
