Five layered ice cream slices stacked on a single cone in a precise order: chocolate, strawberry, Palmer House, pistachio, orange sherbet. The Beverly neighbourhood institution sliced (not scooped) since 1926.
Joe and Katherine Sapp opened the Original Rainbow Cone at 9233 South Western Avenue in Chicago's Beverly neighbourhood in 1926. The signature five-flavour stack of chocolate, strawberry, Palmer House (vanilla with cherries and walnuts), pistachio almond and orange sherbet was sliced from bricks with a flat paddle, an early-20th-century method the shop still uses today. Now run by third-generation owner Lynn Sapp, Rainbow Cone celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2026 and has begun national expansion, but the Beverly flagship and a Navy Pier outpost are the canonical Chicago locations.
