Coneflower Creamery - Blackstone District

I recently visited Coneflower Creamery and tried their roasted pistachio and hazelnut ice cream flavors. Unfortunately, both tasted pretty basic and didn’t stand out in any special way. Given the high Google Maps rating, I was expecting something more memorable—maybe the other flavors are better, but I’m not sure. The shop itself is quite small with no real space for sitting, so it’s more of a grab-and-go spot. On the positive side, the staff were friendly and welcoming, which I appreciated. Overall, I’d give the experience around 2.5 to 3 out of 5.

It’s my first time trying coneflower ice cream. I absolutely loved it. The ice cream was sooo rich in flavor unlike others. They definitely have better flavors. I got the coconut flavor ice cream and it was sooo creamy and so rich. The server was kind and she gave me samples of few ice cream I was interested in.

Greetings from Indiana! We were in Omaha for a robotics competition and had the pleasure of visiting Coneflower Creamery—thanks to a local artist at Hot Shops who highly recommended it. Having traveled far and wide—from Asia to California to New York and many places in between—I can confidently say Coneflower serves the best ice cream we’ve ever had. Their meticulous attention to flavor and quality truly sets them apart. During our visit, I had the pleasure of meeting Brian, who I later found out is the owner. With his signature handlebar mustache, he was humble, welcoming, and made our experience all the more memorable. He even graciously posed for a photo when I asked! The next day, we stopped by their Millwork location, where all the ice cream magic happens. The team went above and beyond to accommodate my son’s food allergies, even preparing fresh batches just for him. Their thoughtful care meant the world to us. We also loved the decor and the unique viewing area where you can see the “ice cream lab” in action. Everything about the experience was so delightful, we couldn’t leave without picking up a T-shirt (the yellow one with the cone and flowers—of course!). We’ll definitely be back!

They had a good variety of ice cream and cone choices. The wife and I both had different selections, and they were very flavorful. The staff was friendly and helpful. If I had anything negative to say, it would be the local root beer portion was very small compared to the price, but even that was even more delicious than I had imagined. It is one of the best local creamery options around, in my opinion. Keep up the good work!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 Stars – Deservedly #1 It’s no surprise Coneflower is ranked #1 by Yelp and highly praised by just about everyone else—it never disappoints. Today’s lineup was pure ice cream bliss: cinnamon-something deliciousness (still dreaming about it), banana Nutella something, birthday cake, and cherry crumble tart. One flavor was better than the next. Rich, creative, and always on point. Hats off to the team—thank you for consistently delivering scoop after scoop of joy.

Yummy! The butter brickel was invented by a chef associated with this ice cream shop in the early 1900’s. The tart cherry ice cream was excellent, too! Parking is tight.

Coneflower Creamery is such a gem! It’s a super cute little spot and you can tell why it’s a community staple. The staff were incredibly friendly and patient—letting us try multiple flavors and happily answering all our questions. You can tell they really care about the experience. I ended up going with the lemon bar ice cream in a sugar cone, and it was amazing! Tart, sweet, and so refreshing. You can taste how fresh everything is, and their flavors are really creative.

It’s the best ice cream in Omaha. The waffle cone enrich the ice cream. My personal favorite is pistachio. Please give a try during your visit in Omaha.

Coneflower Creamery is a must-visit for ice cream lovers! Their unique flavors, like honeycomb and garden mint chocolate chip, are not only creative but also delicious. Each scoop is rich, creamy, and bursting with flavor--you'll definitely want at least two! We split a two-scoop cup and wanted a bit more! The vibe is welcoming and fun, and you can tell they take pride in crafting their treats with care. Perfect for a sweet treat while exploring the Blackstone District.

Being that this place is touted as the "best ice cream in Nebraska", this is likely an unpopular opinion. However, the flavors we tried here fell flat. We settled on the bricklebutter to share, but I think it's just trying to be too many things at once. The inside is super small so be prepared to be packed in when you order. Also- be prepared to wait, as lines are long during hot summer days. However, the people working there are great and helpful with alerting for allergies.

You cannot come to Omaha and not go to Coneflower if you like ice cream! It is such a dream with their classic and more unique flavors - there is DEFINITELY something you have never tried before and something you will love. I recently went after dinner with family around 9pm. There was a line out the door, as there usually is especially on a nice evening. But the good thing is that the line moves pretty quickly, so you shouldn't be waiting long. Of note there isn't a ton of sitting space. - there are small tables both inside and outside and there are benches on the sidewalk nearby as well. I tried maybe four flavors before I settled on what I wanted and it was a very hard choice. I really liked everything I tried, but ultimately I ended up getting a waffle cone with a scoop of tart cherry crumble and a scoop of the basil white chocolate. I personally didn't find the basil to be super prominent, but someone else in my group thought it was very punchy and we both liked it! The tart cherry crumble delivered on the perfect level of tartness. It was such a nice way to finish off our evening and while the price is steep for ice cream, the quality is top notch. I'm looking forward to their holiday ice cream pies!

Wow! Incredible homemade ice cream, waffle cones, and the staff was dressed in old-time soda shop attire. The line out the door was well worth the wait for the best ice cream I have had in a while. I love that they use local farms for fruits in their special ice cream creations. We will be back the next time we are in Omaha!

Michael Jackson record spins while we enjoyed some panettone ice cream and milk chocolate candied orange ice cream - Christmas in a cup. Such creative flavors. Such quality ingredients. Wow.

Great date place! Come here to enjoy the Blackstone District, go down the road and sing some tunes at Reno's, then stop by for a sweet treat at the U.S.'s #1 ice cream spot! Service is always spectacular! My go-to is vanilla ice cream in a cone, with almond topping! Gf's is chocolate and tart cherry crumble in a cup!

If you haven't tried Coneflower yet, you NEED to. I've heard people rave about this place for years but only just got around to trying it last weekend and now I completely understand the hype. Coneflower serves up the creamiest ice cream with the freshest ingredients, and the flavor choices are endless. I had the Pumpkin Cheesecake and Espresso Caramel and the combo was the perfect blend of pumpkin and coffee, so delicious! The shop itself is a bit small, and when we went on a busy Friday, there wasn't room to sit inside. But if you're after a quick, sweet treat while walking around Blackstone, this is the perfect spot. There's a reason everyone talks about this place. Whether you're out for dinner or just passing through Omaha, make sure to stop by Coneflower, you won't regret it.

Coneflower made our Thanksgiving unforgettable with their incredible specialty ice cream pies! I ordered the pumpkin pie and cherry pie, and both were absolute showstoppers. The pumpkin pie was creamy and perfectly spiced, capturing all the flavors of fall, while the cherry pie was bursting with tart, vibrant cherries and a luscious ice cream base. These pies are only available twice a year, making them an extra-special treat worth planning for. The quality and craftsmanship are unmatched, and it's clear they pour their heart into every creation. I can't wait to place my next order!

Came here on a cold weekend with my family and the ice cream place was still busy! The quality is just as good and still friendly staff. Love the golden milk ice cream I am so glad they still have it, even if it's been a couple of years I have gone here. The waffle cones are still made so fresh, it's lovely!

Small must try ice cream shop located at the Blackston District. Ordered 3 scoops: peanut butter chocolate short bread, raspberry oatmeal cream pie and blackstone butterbrickle. $8.38. It's worth every penny. I get why this place is so popular and has a long line after us. I wonder if anyone has ever tried every one of the flavors on one visit. All of the 3 chosen ice creams were tasty and super flavorful.

The place is popular, as there was a line out the door. The inside is small and there isn't much seating. I got the small, which includes two scoops for $6. The scoops were indeed small. I enjoyed the Archetype Coffee and butterbrickle (most popular). I would have paid the shop multiple visits if time allowed.

Coneflower Creamery is an absolute gem! I had the peach crumble flavor, and it was honestly the best ice cream I've ever had. It tasted so fresh, and did not give me that sick full feeling aftwards. The staff here is friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. Parking can be a little tricky, but the quick moving line shows that it's worth it. The cozy ambiance adds to the charm, making it a great spot to enjoy a unique and delicious treat. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in Omaha!

Coneflower is by the the best icecream in Omaha - some(Yelp) say the country! The line in blackstone is almost always out the door but worth the wait. They have scoops you can get in dishes, waffle cones or cake cones. They also have cookies as a side or to make sandwiches with. They have seasonal and house flavors all of which are devine. My favorites are Archetype coffee and butter brickle. This time I got a waffle cone on the side to go with tart cherry crumble and butter brickle.

It's Omaha famous for a reason! Every flavor is amazing, so it's hard to pick which ones! The employees are nice and they welcome samples. The ice cream is creamy without being too rich or overbearing. Best ice cream spot in town!

Unique ice cream flavors and friendly staff. We waited in line a really long time but it was worth it. I was able to sample a few flavors before making my decision -- which I would recommend because the flavors are unusual and unique. It's a small shop with some outdoor seating.

We were passing through Omaha as part of an extended road trip from the West Coast to Mid West and my brother had been in town two months ago and said you should stop by here before leaving Omaha. Even though we still had an 9 hour drive to look forward to, we waited until Noon for Coneflower to open before leaving Omaha and boy do we not regret it even though we got in pretty late to our destination. There was three of us and we each got two flavors so we tried six flavors altogether and they were all good. I got Grandma Minnie's Lemon bar and it was delicious and was especially good paired with the other chocolatey flavor (sorry I forgot its name) since it balanced the richness of the chocolate. The ice cream was creamy goodness and my friend even commented they should try to stop by again next year when they make the trek back west. She especially liked the Bricklebutter flavor. The shop has a few tables and seats inside and outside and we were able to street park right outside the store.

We finally got the chance to stop Coneflower Creamery last weekend while out and about with friends. There was a decent line when we got there but it moves pretty quickly so don't let the line deter you! Once you get up to the counter you can ready the board of ever changing flavors. They will let you sample to your hearts content but be courteous of the people waiting in line behind you I got a scoop of the Archetype Coffee and Fresh Garden Mint Chocolate Chip. Both were amazing. My husband got the reliable Butterbrickle. He said it was the best butterbrickle he's ever had. The shop is pretty small and there are a few benches inside to sit at and three small tables on the cute, tiny patio. There are also benches along the street that you can sit at to enjoy your ice cream. The Blackstone neighborhood is super cute and is a place that we would like to come back and check out some more.

I visited Coneflower on a previous trip to Omaha because I really wanted to try the ice cream sandwich, but they didn't have any cookies on that occasion. We visited again this week and I was able to get an ice cream sandwich, and it was AMAZING. The cookie was so yummy, and the ice cream is too, of course. We got cookies and cream, and cookie dough as our flavors inside the sandwich. So good! The employee who helped us was so positive and had a great attitude, so much so that we talked about it after we left. The line was out the door when we got there, but it moved quickly and is so worth the wait!

I'm really not an ice cream gal, but they do offer some amazing flavors. This location appears less busy than the blackstone one - which I've encountered a line so long I've been deterred from trying multiple times. This is adorable upon entry, a colorful mural welcomes you with high ceilings and bright natural light throughout the establishment. After sampling a couple flavors, I ordered pistachio ice cream from the friendly employee and was delighted at its creaminess and vibrant nut flavor. Usually there are physical nuts in pistachio ice cream and I was so happy they chose to opt out - which kept it a smooth flawless consistency. I can see myself visiting here again with guests from out of town or going on a causal date here. Not only good ice cream but a darling environment.

Date of visit: November 25, 2023 I was pleased to see that there was a local ice cream shop just down the street while we were visiting Omaha, and later found that this place is quite famous! For my selection, I went with a small Butter Brickle as the scoops appeared to be generous and the holiday season had just started so I needed to pace myself. The flavor was excellent, definitely one of the better ice creams I've had. The place is quite small, so be prepared to sit outside if it's too busy or have a Plan B in case there's no space to linger inside. Staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, allowing you to try samples before deciding on your poison of choice. Really the only reason I can't go five stars is because there's no shake option. I cannot even imagine how fantastic the Butter Brickle would have been as a shake!

WOW! Those waffle cones are fresh, flavorful and oh so crunchy and YUMMY! I had a scoop of Grandma Minne's lemon bar...not to tart..just the right amount of lemon flavor..with chunks of something, something! ... thank you Grandma Minnie!! Dean had a triple scoop ..dark chocolate, vanilla and coffee flavors...on a waffle cone all scrumptious...the line was way outside the door! Wonderful stuff ..very small inside but but large enough for maybe 15-20 people...additional seating outside as well...best of both worlds...but with the Blackstone District and gorgeous weather who wants to be inside!!! We will be back!

Coneflower seriously never disappoints. Every flavor is so creative and delicious. Their homemade waffle cones are spectacular, perfectly crunchy with their soft ice cream! The smell in their shop because of the waffle cones is something I wish I could bottle up and take home! Everyone who works there is always so kind and patient! This review, I'm going to recommend the brown butter almond brittle and the black stone butter brickle, absolute best flavors! My other that is a close third is the Goldenmilk!

How have I not reviewed coneflower yet?! Absolutely love this ice cream parlor. Yes, it lives up to the hype. I've tried a variety of flavors and pretty much always get something different every time I go and there's never been a flavor I didn't enjoy. They have a vast menu full of unique flavors, including gluten free and vegan options, ensuring there's something for everyone to enjoy. The line is typically long and it can get cramped in the small space, but I do think it's worth it. I recommend taking a look at their Instagram or Facebook to see their flavors of the day

Pre-meal: Be prepared to wait in line when the weather is warm - the line moves slowly due to nature of the business. Room: Small, less than 10 seats inside and 2 benches outside. Picture-taking: pretty good lighting but crowded. Beverages: Yes but not why you come here. Food: Excellent ice cream with flavors that really taste like what they're supposed to taste like. For example the lemon bar ice cream tastes like a lemon bar instead of lemon ice cream with a few crusty bits mixed in. Service: Unhurried. Price: Inexpensive Value: High Summary: Great ice cream. What else is there to say?

All I can say is "Golden milk"!!! It's a non-dairy, turmeric, ginger, cinnamon and who knows what else... just try it. It was gone so fast, no picture taken. Oh and such friendly staff to offer samples.

Everything is great though expensive. I prefer their vegan dishes, esp. the golden milk. Often crowded. Can't go wrong with the quality

The ABSOLUTE best ice cream place in Omaha, Nebraska located in black stone! Amazing service & phenomenal ice cream! All of their flavors are so spot on & super creamy! The waffle cone is homemade and super crispy! Pairs perfectly with their ice cream. Their popular flavor is the blackstone butterbrickle! I personally love their birthday cake (not featured when I went) & the Grandma Minnie's lemon bar ! The small chunks of the lemon bar is absolutely fabulous! It was my first time trying the key lime pie, it was great, super tarty & creamy at the same time! I personally would say it is something that could get overwhelming with how tarty it is, but super subjective! I love how Coneflower supports local businesses such as Archetype Coffee (right across the street) and uses their coffee to make their ice cream version of it & it's one of my go to's!! If you're a coffee lover, do not skip on this! Coneflower is always so busy - long line but it won't take forever until it's your turn! Employees work quickly & always encourage you to try new flavors! The layout is very limited. Some seating on the inside with about 3 round tables to accommodate 2-5 individuals to one table. Outside there are 2 bench areas to fit 4 people per table! Snag a table while you can, otherwise you may be lucky to find a bend near the store front on your right when walking out!

Best ice cream I ever had in my life. The hype is real without a doubt. I tried the Blackstone Bricklebutter and it was sensational, the way the toffee crunches and the consistency/creaminess was just right. I did not know ice cream could get to this level. I felt there were about 5-6 things all going at once when I had my first bite. Definitely provides that wow factor. The line was about 20 people deep on a weekend evening, but the line moves very swiftly. When I got to the ordering counter there is an army of staff waiting to take your order and they are very encouraging when it comes to sampling. Truly deserving of the #1 ranking in the U.S. Parking is a bit of a challenge in the Blackstone District but if the cachet of their original location makes no difference to you, seems like the Millwork Commons location is a lot more parking friendly with less crowds.

Amazing Ice Cream, Fabulous Flavor Selection, Sorbets Offered For Lactose Intolerant Individuals, Vivacious & Knowledgeable Staff Members Full Of Good Suggestions! Sterling Waffle Cones! Everything Is Prepared Fresh Daily!

Coming from the dairy state, this did not disappoint. So many unique flavors and options, I am always in line debating over what flavor combo I should try next!!

I recently saw Coneflower on a pretty impressive ranking list, and was surprised. I know a lot of Omahans are obsessed with this place but I still just don't get it. I will admit, they've got some really great flavors. Not only just to be bold, but because some of the combinations truly are fantastic. But the texture of the ice cream is what really drags everything down for me. A high-quality ice cream should be smooth, not grainy or crystallized. I've been probably five or six times over the last few years for different reasons, friends in town, etc. But I've just never had that truly great texture from coneflower. Of course, it's great to see a local business getting national attention, and I wish them well, but at this point I'm just not a huge fan.

Coneflower!!!! This is the first time I've been able to make it down there since the announcement about them being the #1 ice cream in the nation. The line wasn't terrible especially with their new popularity. GREAT options and they let you sample! Got some for me and my family and it was only $20! They have a great seating area outside which was great because the weather was perfect! This place is a must visit!

If you like inventive flavors, friendly service and delicious ice cream-look no further! This is the place to come in Omaha. A small friendly place with flavors like Christmas in July, Grandma's lemon bar and that old standby-butter brickle. Line can get long but persevere! It is worth it! We had four smalls (two flavors for a small) and about $25 with tip. Well worth it!

When I moved to Omaha, Coneflower was clearly one of the spots that locals consistently recommended. I knew I needed to make the trip, but I was honestly a little intimidated by how popular people said it was; apparently there is ALWAYS a long line outside of the building. I wasn't looking forward to waiting a long time. Even though there was a line outside of the building, it was surprisingly efficient; the employees were on top of everything, even close to closing time! I had the Archetype Coffee flavor, and it was delicious! It was unique from most coffee ice cream I've had in that it had a bitter/almost black coffee aftertaste, which was really interesting and also prevented it from being overly sweet. They have a ton of classic and unique flavors (including vegan and GF options) so there's something for everyone! Don't let the line stop you!

Easily some of the best ice cream I've ever had. The malt flavor I had on the bottom was very good. The cherry crisp flavor was to die for. It quite literally tasted like a piece of cherry pie with a scoop of vanilla on the side. The cherries were tart and delicious!

Stopped in for an after dinner treat and very glad we did. We were skeptical of SUCH good reviews but the ice cream was really really good. We arrived around 9pm and there was a bit of a line out the door but we didn't mind. Once we arrived inside, we were greeted by the sweetest team. Tried the butterbrickle and fell in LOVE!! In addition to the ice cream, the waffle cone went perfectly. Wow it was good. Boyfriend also got the cookies and cream which was pretty standard. Great stop and we would highly recommend for anyone in town!

once again, another return to Coneflower with only outstanding reviews! I feel so spoiled to have this local shop in a small town like Omaha, one of the best in the nations and for good reason. Although some may not like to wait in a line, I feel like it always adds to the experience. A line out the door says some thing, that everybody wants to be there for a reason. Coneflower never fails, my husband and I got essentially the same thing - four scoops in a cup, cookies and cream, coffee, and almond cherry crumble. If I could have redone it, I would have just gotten the cookies and cream and cherry crumble because they were so freaking delicious, the coffee is always going to be my favorite but when it comes to having fun things to crunch on, being able to have a little pizzazz makes it all the more desirable. Everything always taste fresh, we don't leave feeling like junk, you can tell that there aren't crazy preservatives or low quality ingredients but that it is always top notch. Homemade ice cream... There's really just nothing like it. Coneflower will always be the best of Omaha!

Cute little ice cream shop with a line out the door even in the winter a few hours before closing. That's just how good it is. They have a variety of delectable flavors and there is vegan option too. Whenever I travel I always try local flavors so I got the butterbrickle. It was so good, and paired with a waffle cone made it out of this world. Highly recommended if you're looking for a spot to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Deserving of every single award, five-star review, recommendation, etc. Even on a cold day, the line was out the door. Coneflower is probably the best establishment in the entire state of Nebraska. From the friendly customer service, high quality ice cream, and creative/diverse flavor profiles, it literally cannot get better. I highly recommend sampling some flavors that even remotely spark your interest! The only downside to their popularity is the limited spacing indoors.

You know the ice cream is amazing when you show up on a 10° night and it's packed. This is the best ice cream our family has ever had. We are new in town and one night my family wanted something sweet. I looked up deserts thinking we would get cookies or donuts since there was snow outside and it was below freezing. I saw Coneflower and the 5 star reviews so I told my boys, they love ice cream and they said yes. I planned on picking up cookies since I was never a huge ice cream fan. But when we walked in the smell was all that was needed. I had a sample of the Archetype coffee and now I have to have this ice cream once a week. My family has tried speciality ice cream places in California and Las Vegas and we all agree this is by far the best I've cream we've ever had in our life.

Everytime we have friends in town, we order a few pints for them to sanple (in oart because we don't want to deal with the 30min-1hr wait in the summer months). The crowd favorite is always tart chery crumble but lemon bar is a close second. Over the holidays we tried the speculos flavor and I wish they had that featured more often

What a cute ice cream shop! The people working the counter were very nice to my kids. The cinnamon crunch cheesecake ice cream was rich and delicious! My kid kept saying wow this ice cream is so good, it's homemade! Fun little spot, I can see why there's a line out the door at times.

Delicious ice cream with ingredients that are all locally sourced. Quick service. Definitely worth the try if you're in the area. The blackstone butterbrickle flavor was spectacular.

Located in the Blackstone area, street parking available, nice hip little part of town with a good atmosphere. Made from scratch ice cream with local farm fresh dairy. Lots of delicious flavors with homemade toasty waffle cones. They do get very busy with lines sometimes extending down the street. Very limited seating. Definitely a must stop!!

I don't know if my taste buds were off that day or what but it was just 'meh' for me. After tasting 3 samples, I just selected something basic so it didn't look like I was just there for samples. The staff was kind and it was a nice place. Obviously others are more into it than I was as there was a line down the sidewalk. I would give it another try but I'm not feeling enthusiastic about it.

Coneflower Creamery is the best ice cream around, no question about it, and the cherry on top for Coneflower is the top notch customer service! They're so busy, but I've never seen them flustered or rude. If you go to Coneflower (and you really should) anticipate a line and having to wait a while; but I guarantee it's worth the wait!

Yummy ice cream! we were on a waiting list at the Mexican restaurant across the street so we decided to get ice cream while we waited.

Lived in Omaha fir three years and this stands as one of the must take spots for my visitors. The signature flavors are consistently awesome and the rotating ones keep me excited for what's to come. The flavors are never overpowering or too heavy. Line out the door always but moves fast and always helpful service that is more than willing to offer samples. Absolutely the best in the country

Our local hosts insisted we go here. Glad we did! Very hard working crew, inventive flavors!
