King Kone
Included In
This classic, roadside window service joint has been offering epic soft serve since the 1950s. The current owners took over more than 20 years ago, expanded the hard ice cream selection, and added things like burgers, lobster rolls, and fried clam strips to the menu. The full King Kone experience includes navigating the hectic parking lot, waiting in line to order, and remembering to bring cash (or getting bailed out by Venmo). There’s picnic table seating onsite, and we can’t think of a better way to enjoy the good weather once they open in April than by pulling up, grabbing a generous soft serve with sprinkles, and savoring every moment while you battle your melting reward.
