These are so so so good!! The best vegan ice cream I ever try. I hope they will be available in every TJ’s store for long long time.

Wish I could give more than 5 stars. And, that they also had vanilla.

Wow, these are way better than I even expected. So happy that Trader Joe’s has been doing more and more vegan stuff lately! I generally really like their plant-based desserts, but I wasn’t thrilled with those recent mint chocolate bon bons (despite how delicious they sounded in theory).
These really are 5 stars all the way, though. The ice cream at the top is so creamy, the crunch of the cone is perfect, and I like the small sizes.
My only complaint is about them being individually wrapped. A “serving size” is six mini cones (it sounds like a lot until you have them in front of you and taste one lol), so having to unwrap so many was annoying and seems wasteful of the extra packaging. Also, the wrapping sometimes gets a little stuck to the cone and takes longer to get off.
I think they couldn’t have used the typical “hold the cones” packaging because of the ice cream top to these (ie: the others are usually covered with a chocolate outer layer on the ice cream), but it would be nice if they figured out some other option.
Regardless, these taste amazing! So good, and they don’t have any sort of coconut taste at all (unlike some desserts made with coconut milk).

OK. Probably wouldn’t buy again. The pro is the mini size for cravings.

I’m sure they taste great thanks to 56% ADDED SUGAR to each one of these treats.
No thanks. There are better vegan dessert options.

5 star!!! These are perfect! Thank you TJ’s… and fianlly they are individually wrapped so they are protected from the packaging contamination. And the TASTE… WOW

Absolutely delicious!! I hope Trader Joe’s does not discontinue this product anytime soon. Perfect option for those who can’t eat dairy. Also they are not bad with sugar since it is is 56% sugar PER SERVING and each serving is 6 INDIVIDUAL CONES. Definitely recommend

Trader Joe’s HIT THE SPOT with this vegan ice cream treat! Would give it 10 Stars if I could. Please, never stop stocking the freezer with this item. PLEASE!!!

I love these! Vegan cones are still very rare, and these have a nice ice cream base (the coconut one) plus the cone is pleasant and they are just the right size, with a generous amount in the box.

It’s fine. When I had them I ate them, but I’m not going out of my way to get more when there are so many different sweet things to try (even as a vegan) and limited justification for eating them. Sometimes you want a little treat in a cone, but I think they should be like drumsticks or something else a little more interesting than just chocolate. A little difficult to unwrap without breaking.

Box says may contain hazelnuts, pistachios…this usually means made in the same facility, but they must actually contain them as my grandson, who is allergic to pistachios, had an allergic reaction to them. (He’s also allergic to dairy) Just a warning to others.
Crystal –
I love, love, love these! I make sure that I’m never without these in the house.

So freaking good, they’re practically addictive. I wish these were twice as large.
Make sure they never thaw, so as to keep the cones crisp.
