A Sweet Legacy
Inspired by their Italian heritage and fond moments of sharing food with loved ones, the owners transformed the former Ashby’s Ice Cream shop into a sweetly modern space.
“Ice cream is very special to us for a lot of reasons,” Modern Cone states. “We have experienced a lifetime of memories with ice cream that we believe others can relate to as well. Whether it’s enjoying a good dessert after a meal, bonding with family and friends, or curling up on the couch after a long day, ice cream is enjoyed by so many.”
A Fresh, Inviting Atmosphere
After undergoing renovations, Modern Cone now showcases a chic interior with pink and gray hues, neon signs and whimsical double bowtie cone light fixtures.The cozy booths and decor make it the perfect spot to relax with the kiddos and enjoy your treats.
