Wandering Cone Creamery in North Carolina

"They make their own ice cream from scratch, all natural amd ingredients. The flavors are delicious and really leaves an impression of quality and positivity with you. Definitely want to go back and try them multiple times!"

"Literally the best ice cream in Wilmington hands down, no questions asked, no one can compete. Not only is there ice cream DELICIOUS, it’s made with better ingredients and you get new ones every month! How cool is that?! They’re the original local ice cream flights and have the cutest pink egg crates that match their whole aesthetic. They provide vegan options which doesn’t even taste vegan and gluten free cones. I love the Cold Brew and Strawberry Fields, basically all of them but it’s hard to choose. The staff is super nice and the owner is FANTASTIC. I love coming here and couldn’t recommend it enough. I would come here everyday if my body and wallet let me."

"The Wandering Cone is a delightful stop for ice cream lovers, offering both charm and creativity in every scoop. One of the highlights of our visit was their ice cream flight, which allows you to sample six mini scoops of different flavors—a perfect way to try a little bit of everything. It’s a fun, shareable option that makes decision-making easier if you’re stuck between too many tempting choices. We also tried the waffle bowl, and it did not disappoint—freshly made, crisp, and slightly sweet, it paired perfectly with the rich, creamy ice cream. Every flavor we tried tasted fresh, thoughtfully crafted, and full of flavor. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, making it a great spot to unwind or enjoy a treat after a day out. Whether you’re a classic vanilla fan or more adventurous with your choices, The Wandering Cone delivers on quality and fun. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a sweet and satisfying stop in Wilmington!"

"Perfect place if you are gluten and dairy free. The waffle cones taste so fresh and you wouldn't know they are gluten free. The ice cream isn't too sweet and melts creamy in your mouth!"

"We are on vacation from Kansas City and stopped into Wandering Cone after a hot day of touring the battleship! This place is incredible with all homemade and local ice cream including gluten free options. The waffles bowls, ice cream and milkshakes were all so delicious! This ice cream shop is a gem and we will definitely be returning on our next visit to Wilmington!"

"This is the first time in years my husband has been able to enjoy ice cream out with the family due to gluten and dairy issues. I’ve not found a place yet that offered vegan ice cream as well as GF/vegan cones! Not only was the ice cream homemade and delicious, staff were kind and patient and attentive despite the long line. A perfect stop!"
