EXCELLENT Based on 19 reviews Posted on Yelp Denise GAugust 16, 2024Verified We've booked the Cone Zone for our yearly employee appreciation week for more than 5 years! They never disappoint. We have over 95 employees and the Cone Zone staff is always friendly, helpful and efficient! Thank you, Beth and Bob, for being the best! See you next year!!!Posted on Yelp Richard RAugust 7, 2024Verified The Cone Zone truck rocks. This is a great idea for a party, event, or fund raiser. They are easy to work with and are very friendly. The staff is helpful and really does a great job. It's a super way to cool off in the desert heat.Posted on Yelp Comic AJune 10, 2024Verified We hired the Desert Cone Fun and their Fun Bus for our comic book store's grand re-opening. What a treat! First off, they were great to deal with; friendly, professional, flexible with our needs, clear and prompt communication. Secondly, the shaved ice was YUMMY. Had fun customizing the flavor combinations. Very finely shaved ice (not big, tooth-breaking chunks). The whimsical look of the vehicle, the fun colors and flavors of the frosty treat, and the overall friendliness of the staff make me recommend these folks highly. Thanks, Desert Cone Zone!Posted on Yelp Katy PMay 7, 2024Verified We booked Desert Cone Zone for a company event of about 100 people in April and it was great. We had the Cone Zone bus. Service was great and fast and we never had an issue with lines or waiting. Everyone really enjoyed it. Communication with Beth regarding pricing and booking the event was great!Posted on Yelp Amity BJuly 31, 2023Verified We had the mobile son-come truck for our son's 7th birthday and it was a hit! The kids loved it. The line moved quickly because the ice is handed out and the kids pick their flavors and serve themselves on the outside of the truck. Highly recommend and would use again!Posted on Yelp Sarah ROctober 31, 2022Verified Our organization booked with desert cone zone last minute and it was a hit. Bob and Beth are amazing at communicating & helping our time go smoothly. It was such a wonderful experience.Posted on Yelp Matt WApril 28, 2022Verified Desert Cone Zone came to College of the Desert for a campus event and it was a great choice. Ended up being over 90 degrees that day for a outdoor event, everyone who attended shared it was a fun concept and the product was excellent. Two different departments asked me for their contact information so they could try and have Desert Cone Zone provide shaved ices and food at their events. Thank you!Posted on Yelp Juliet BApril 27, 2022Verified First of all! I was in a pickle on a Friday at 5:30pm and without skipping a beat Beth was trying to accommodate me and my company! The planning process was easy with the simple menu options and Beth took time to hear what the event was for, and suggest what would be best for the experience! It's worth every penny! You don't have to lift a finger, just give them a call, pay the bill and they do the rest!! Will definitely be using them again!Posted on Yelp Phillip BApril 27, 2022Verified Ok when it comes to fun party ideas you can't beat an ice cream cart. Just had a big party in a swanky neighborhood with over a hundred swanky people in attendance. They went for the cool treats like a pack of summer kiddos waiting on the corner. Very fun. Many tried several varieties. Great flexibility and customer service.Posted on Yelp Michelle JApril 27, 2022Verified We've used the Cone Zone for 3 years at our company Spring event and it's always a big hit. They are on time and professional. We look forward to many more years of our members enjoying their fun bus full of ice cream treats an unlimited shave ice!
