About this store
Right on Market Street in downtown Wilmington
We're on Market Street in historic downtown Wilmington, a block from the Riverwalk, a few blocks from Cape Fear Community College and a quick drive from Wrightsville Beach and Carolina Beach. 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. An evening on the Riverwalk, date night, a family treat or a beach-day finale, this is the dessert run worth making.
Visiting the coast? We're an easy stop for anyone exploring downtown, UNCW or the beaches.

Where it all started
From Rexburg to Wilmington
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 Wilmington, still grills each cone fresh to order, just like we did in that tent.
