Tastes great, especially the pomegranate cheesecake. Place seems to have interesting flavours that you may not get elsewhere. Big servings! Well worth a try.

One of the best icecreams I have ever had in my life! Everything is expensive in Australia and this place is no exception. However the taste is so good that I felt it was worth every penny!
I tried the blueberry flavour in a waffle cone an it was lovely!
We used to come to Cones in Hawthorn all the time, until the heavenly Piccolina Gelateria opened. Piccolina is now our go to for ice cream in Hawthorn. Cones is great if your looking for simple ice cream. The prices are really cheap, and the ice cream is fresh, creamy, simple, aussie ice cream.
TIP: Do try the Peanut Butter Snickers- our favourite!
I like here. I usually eat ice cream every Tuesday in here. All workers in here are really nice. And I like to collect stamp when I buy an ice cream. Tasty of chocolate or other sweets is too sweet to eat more so I always chose espresso tasty.
Ice cream here is best in Glenferrie Rd, always fresh, creamy and natural flavour. Not over sweet and service is sincere and knowledgeable. Well worth the visit!
Details: The chocolate fat free sorbet was so yummy. They served my ice cream in a cup with a wafer stick for only $4.50. Fantastic post Japanese desert. I also tried my friends Tim Tam which was like you were biting into a real tim tam! I'll be back!
Decor: Pretty average. Nothing special! It's the quality of the ice cream that counts tbh. Same goes for service.
Reviews here are making me a bit suspicious. While it is decent ice cream, its certainly not 5 stars. There is indeed a large range of flavours however they don't have a particular strong taste. I struggle to see how they are all natural flavours given the neon colors of some ice creams.
Despite it being the coldest night of the year (or so it seemed), we decided that it is never too cold for ice-cream, and so we walked into the warmth of Cones on Glenferrie Road, drawn in also by the lure of crepes! The staff were very friendly and very patient as we contemplated which of the delicious-looking ice-cream flavours to select. We watched our crepes being made - such skill! They certainly looked excellent, and I'm told they tasted the same. For the slightly health-conscious, I'd highly recommend the passionfruit frozen yoghurt - delicate flavours and very creamy too. More seating would be welcome, especially for larger groups - but that's about the only criticism I'd have for this sweet place!
Yummy Icecream! The nutella banana crepe with choice of icecream is my favorite thing to get☺ My favorite place to take my friends to when in hawthorn.
Amazing ice cream, yoghurt & sorbets, always been our family favorite ice cream shop. Serving sizes are very generous. I love the pistachio it reminds me of Italy.
Cones is the best ice cream shop in Hawthorn.
Simply ignore the comment below from Deli Pickles. Without doubt the best icecream place in the area. Delicious and homemade with great service to add...This place will be my choice from here on in.
Our family have been going to Cones Ice Cream for so many years! This is by far the best ice cream shop on Glenferrie Road! Mouth-watering Gelato, sorbets, smoothies and crepes. Flavours are delicious and the servings generous. There are too many favourite flavours to mention but chocolate, tim tam, mango sorbet and blood orange sorbet are just a few. Great, friendly service too!
All made with that special ingredient, love!
Clearly the reason you're still in our neighbourhood, 12 years on, when others have come & gone, is that your delicious handmade gelato is the best. Thank you Cones, Hawthorn for delivering the best handmade gelato using the purest & freshest ingredients with no compromise.
What a gorgeous little store
Fresh and delicious
I loved the waffle cone with creamy vanilla bean gelato and the scrumptious Tim tam flavour
Thanks for the lovely service
Will be back
More than a little ice-cream shop. The crepes are fantastic and should be bought with one of their ice-creams. Might not have huge lines outside but the ice-cream is special.
A cute little ice cream store on Glenferrie Road; I received wonderful service, the staff were friendly and happy to give samples.
The Tim Tam flavour was great, and the servings were very reasonable for the price. Though the store can get noisy at times, we were able to sit around for quite a while to chat and finish our desserts!
We've lived locally to cones for many years now and have always loved having our late afternoon beautiful homemade icecreams or to kick off our weekend with stunning crepes and coffees for a morning, either way one of our most favourite places to regularly visit, more than just great product provided but great to visit a place which has familiar smiling faces and family run for as many years as Iv been eating there, we highly recommend!!! Great people! Great service! And absolutely great ice cream!!
Best gelato in Melbourne! Wonderful serious and a great range of flavours for the hole family. Their crepes are AMAZING and cost wise nothing is unreasonable. Definitely will be back for more and next time ill get a take home pack so i can enjoy it every night of the week!
The ice cream at Cones has never let me down - been going here for years and it's the only place I return to for good quality hand made ice cream. The selection could be slightly larger, but other than that, no complaints. Delicious!
My experience at cones was lovely i walk in and straight away I'm greeted. i order salted caramel for the first time and i was amazed by how smooth the techture is and how much the flavour popped in my mouth my husband order fruits and the forest and the staff told us that it was all natural and it tasted all natural i especially love that real berry taste it was nice to see they had a type of ice-cream for everyone there were natural flavours un natural flavours and sorbets i wanted them all so i ordered a take home pack and it was gone straight away all i i can is 10/10
Such a friendly atmosphere & the icecream is superb! My friends and I went out for dinner down the road then decided to go for icecream and I was so glad! I'm super picky when it comes to ice cream flavours but the lovely staff let me taste test a couple before I finally chose their honeycomb crunch - soo good!!! Will definitely be going back there!
It might not get the coverage like other ice-cream stores. However, they have something most don't...crepes. Glorious crepes. Nice and fluffy and perfect with some ice-cream.
Love the ice cream, the crepes and the smoothies. All so yummy. The best pistachio ice cream in town for me. If you around Glenferrie area and thinking about dessert, this could be the place. They have coffee as well.
Chocolate Ice Cream. Delicious
Great gelato. Warm night and what could be better than a great gelato cone? Six of us went along to enjoy a refreshing treat and we were not disappointed, great cones and great gelato in an abundance of flavours. The only issue we had ed to do with the staff; not friendly, no smiles...why? simply can't understand why unhappy people work in retail. Apart from that not a bad experience.
Great tasting ice-cream and generous serves. Friendly staff who were patient with us as its always hard to pick what ice cream you want.
Super smooth gelato. Can't go past the mango gelato here. Super smooth and creamy. Love this place on a hot Summer's afternoon.
Skip cacao green or cold rock. A good traditional gelati parlour on a strip of otherwise uniform franchises, the standout for me has been the crostata siciliana made with ricotta. Also on offer are crepes and ice realm cakes that I suspect are actually semifreddo given the rest of the traditional fare.
Fresh, light ice cream/ crepe at reasonable prices🍨 Also the cookies sandwich is too good to avoid 😋
Delicious flavours, excellent value for money. Not too sweet and generous helpings.
Absolutely amazing staff and delicious range of ice creams. My son loves the bubblegum flavour and is always greeted with compassion
Heaps of flavors, at least you should try once. The presentation of verities is amazing and attractive. Though, prices are bit high, especially smoothies (small $7) 🤔
Absolutely the best ice cream/gelato in Melbourne. The bubblegum flavour is packed full of mini marshmallows and has my husband and I still insisting that get it every time we visit Hawthorn. Year after year we drive 50minutes to buy birthday cakes and enjoy special treats with our children here. Family owned business who make their product from scratch using quality ingredients...and you can taste the difference. Even Augustus can't compete with these peeps! They were closed once over the Christmas period and we tried another place on Glenferrie road...so disappointed.
If you want delicious high quality icecream and friendly service, Cones is worth a drive!
My favourite Gelato place, honestly I've tried so many but nothing beats cones. The lemon and strawberry are perfect together and the salted caramel goes brilliantly with the chocolate ripple.
The best ice-cream place in the city, not only the portions are humongous, they are rich, creamy and heavenly. There was some problem with my debit transaction, it was generous of the owner to solve it right at moment. Love the friendly staff and the retro ambience, it's creates a nostalgia :)
Ask for the best seller, you ll be surprised by the magical taste.
We stumbled across this place for a quick late night dessert pick me up and we’re so glad we did.
The person serving us was so polite from when we arrived and all the way through to when when we left. I didn’t catch your name, but hands down best customer service i’ve had in a while.
We ordered crepes and had the choice to pair it with any of their ice creams. It’s well priced and tasted great.
Would definitely be coming back in the future!
