And just like that, we're swimming closer to the hot summer months. That means we get to enjoy some food and dessert that we'd otherwise skip when our toes and fingers are freezing in the cold.

Everybody loves ice cream. Whether you buy a pint for yourself or you share it with a friend—one can never go wrong with it as a dessert choice. While you may enjoy a scoop or two of your own in a bowl, there's no denying that having it in a cone is a classic and nostalgic way to have your ice cream. But did you know that there's a bunch of cones to choose from?

In this article, we'll share with you a list of ice cream cones you should know. Trust us—knowing this, you'll be able to pair your cones with the right flavor the next time your favorite ice cream truck drives by!

Cake Cones

Also known as wafer cones, cake cones are quite flaky, light, and pretty sweet. When you have a bite of this, you'll instantly think of cake, which makes it best for kid's servings or full-sized scoops.

Waffle Cones

Waffle cones are a bit crisper than cake cones and have that classic waffle texture. It's a great choice for you if you want a firmer and crispier cone. These cones go well with different flavored ice cream, so it's a staple in every ice cream truck.

Sugar Cones

Sugar cones have sugar strands that have been incorporated into the cone's surface. It's similar to a sugar cone in a donut, but the sugar strands are shorter and stick out less than in a sugar cone. Sugar cones make for a sweet treat; that’s why they can go well with a creamy flavor like chocolate or fruity.

Pretzel Cones

For a salty-sweet treat, try pretzel cones. Shaped like a classic cone, these cones are just as crunchy and should be eaten while they're still warm. Pairing these with creamy chocolate or vanilla ice cream is what you should do. Note that these cones are a bit salty, so it's best if you aren't eating these right after dinner.

Chocolate-Dipped Cones

Here's a cone that's perfect for chocolate lovers. Best paired if you have a sweet ice cream like vanilla or strawberry, this cone is topped off with a drizzle of chocolate. No need to share these cones—these are perfect for you to enjoy on your own.

The Bottom Line: Whatever Cone You Choose, Make Sure You're Enjoying it with the Best Ice Cream in Town

Ice cream is a treat that everyone deserves. Whether you're in the mood for a sweet and creamy indulgence, you can always go for the classic ice cream cone. For a different twist, you can try one of the types of cones we've shared in this article.
