Haymarket · Lincoln, NE
The last scoop
you'll ever need
Hand-dipped, handcrafted, and served in a cone made fresh this morning. This is ice cream the way it was meant to be — simple, honest, and unforgettable.
Our Story
Born in the Haymarket
with nothing to prove
We started with a simple conviction: that the best ice cream doesn't need a long ingredient list or a complicated story. Just good milk, real cream, and a waffle cone you'd actually want to eat the bowl from.
Situated on 8th Street in the heart of Lincoln's Haymarket, The Waffle Cone is a neighborhood destination for people who care about what they eat. Every batch is churned in-house. Every cone is baked fresh. Every flavor is chosen because we'd serve it to our families.
