About this store
Right on Main Street in downtown Columbia
We're on Main Street in downtown Columbia, a short walk from the State House and the University of South Carolina. Every pastry cone is our take on the Czech trdelník, also called a chimney cake, grilled fresh to order so it lands in your hand golden and crispy. Then we fill it with a creamy spread, cold soft serve, and the toppings and drizzle you pick. First time in? Start with a Cookie à la Mode, then come back for this week's specialty creation. Not in a cone mood? Grab a Belgian hot chocolate, a hot fruit cone, an ice cream cup, or pints and boxes to share. After class, after dinner downtown, date night or a midnight craving, this is the dessert run worth making.
Coming from out of town? We're an easy stop for anyone visiting the Vista, Five Points or a Gamecocks game.

Where it all started
From Rexburg to Columbia
Crispy Cones started in 2018 as a tent in Rexburg, Idaho, with a grill that never seemed to cool down. The tent became a trailer, the trailer became a storefront, and one Shark Tank deal later there are 30+ stores in 17 states.
Every one of them, including this one in Columbia, still grills each cone fresh to order, just like we did in that tent.
