Coneflower creamery is an Omaha institution! There is often a line out the door at this location but it's worth the wait and moves relatively fast. Workers are friendly and efficient. I got the chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream on a waffle cone. They must make their waffle cones fresh in house because it's the best waffle cone I've ever had!

Coneflower Creamery is such a gem! It's a super cute little spot and you can tell why it's a community staple. The staff were incredibly friendly and patient--letting us try multiple flavors and happily answering all our questions. You can tell they really care about the experience. I ended up going with the lemon bar ice cream in a sugar cone, and it was amazing! Tart, sweet, and so refreshing. You can taste how fresh everything is, and their flavors are really creative.

I've been in a few times, but never able to review this place until today. I went in with three friends and we all immensely enjoyed our ice cream!! The best way I can describe it, is that coneflower ice cream is the exact representation of its flavor, only an ice cream form. I got the butter brickle, although I was hesitant since this is gluten-free, and I don't typically like gluten-free ice cream, but this may be the best ice cream I've tasted!! I never would've guessed it was gluten-free. The chunks of butter brickle were plentiful, and absolutely delicious. I wish I had gotten all three scoops of this! I tried the mint, but this was not for me... I love, mint chip ice cream, but this was a true representation of mint, or maybe even a thin, mint cookies, then store-bought mint chip ice cream. It was too minty for me and my friends. The other flavor, my friends tried was the lemon bars, which they also raved about, mentioning chunks of lemon bar throughout the ice cream. I can't say enough good things about how delicious and high-quality this ice cream is, there was a line outside the door on a weeknight, despite walking through a pile of snow to get in! If anyone brings up getting ice cream from a local, high-quality shop, this will be my go to going forward!

This place has so many delicious and delightful flavors of ice cream, it was sincerely hard to choose! I ended up with a cherry pie that had the crust and flavor of cherry and was freaking amazing! It was some of the best dessert I have had in a long while! It is so rich and flavorful, and I know the fat content is really high, but it is worth it. They are famous for butter brickle flavor. The service was very friendly and they were patient as I tried at least 5 flavors. The inside is very small and cute but not many places to sit. I heard in the summer there is a line out the door! This place is stellar!

By far the best ice cream I have ever had! Even though I just devoured my banana split, writing this review is making me want to go back for another one. You know you're in for a treat when you walk in you are hit with the mouth-watering smell of fresh waffle cones and the sound of upbeat music playing on their old-school record player. Coneflower's focus is farm to table, which not only makes for the most delicious ice cream, but also creates a constantly rotating menu based on what's in season. I love their rotating menu, as they are perfectly able to capture the season in their ice-cream flavors. In the summer they have a lavender honey ice cream that is to DIE for. This past christmas they had a german nut ice cream that absolutley blew my mind. However, their butterbrickle never dissapoints and i can confidently say it is the best ice cream i have had, and will ever have. I love getting their banana split (which is a banana split on steroids). They carmilize their bananas with a torch, and sandwhich your icecream of choice between and top it with fresh whipped cream and a heafty drizzle of their homade fudge. Sprinkled with spanish peanuts and a luxardo cherry on top! The staff is very friendly and helpful and offer samples of the variety of ice cream- which sometimes makes it even harder to pick because the flavors are all that good! If that doesn't sell you into a visit, i don't know what will. Highly recommended adding coneflower to your frequently visited spots in Omaha!

If you're an ice cream lover, look no further - hands down the best ice cream in Omaha. There will be a line, especially on summer nights, but it is absolutely worth it. The ice cream is made from local ingredients and it absolutely shines through in the final product. You can try a few samples at the counter, but if you are stumped, give their signature Blackstone Butterbrickle a try.

I love coneflower! I tend to try to go at off times to beat the crowds as I don't love waiting in line but, it is typically worth the wait if you do end up in a line. My go to is the archetype coffee and then I try to mix it up with a special. I love that the coffee flavor is very strong and creamy. Yesterday I also had their vegan raspberry brownie flavor. This was so good! Very chocolatey and lots of raspberry sauce in it. I do wish the raspberry was more dispersed throughout the ice cream but, still good! They are so helpful here and ok with you trying to a few flavors to find what you like best!

Great date place! Come here to enjoy the Blackstone District, go down the road and sing some tunes at Reno's, then stop by for a sweet treat at the U.S.'s #1 ice cream spot! Service is always spectacular! My go-to is vanilla ice cream in a cone, with almond topping! Gf's is chocolate and tart cherry crumble in a cup!

Wow! Incredible homemade ice cream, waffle cones, and the staff was dressed in old-time soda shop attire. The line out the door was well worth the wait for the best ice cream I have had in a while. I love that they use local farms for fruits in their special ice cream creations. We will be back the next time we are in Omaha!
