Your reminder that the cone is part of the experience 🍦

Cone of the Month: Em & Em Torino 😍

We don’t think these get enough hype!

A good cone should be more than something that holds the ice cream… it should be good enough to eat on its own. Only then is it good enough to eat with your ice cream.

That’s what Cones for the Connoisseur is all about🍦
