Gnome Cones — Restaurant in Denton

Loved the decor and theme the first couple of times, but my wife realized the reality of how much we were getting charged for ice and syrup, or in the sugar free cone's case, ice & juice so we stopped. My wife went back recently for the first time in months with our three young daughters and was greeted with a decal on the door and another on the window next to it, expressing the company's pride. We're from Seattle and became frustrated with how aggressive this small group in our country with a large presence in Seattle and San Francisco obsesses over forcing children and adults alike to share their pride about their lifestyle choices. My wife was shocked gnome cone chose to place the decals on the front door and window since so many children love gnome cone due to its theme, decor, and sweet treats being so attractive to their little innocent eyes. We're very disappointed this business is reminding us of one of our many frustrations we had raising our children in the extreme culture of Seattle for their first few years of their precious lives. I hope gnome cones will consider when and where the appropriate places are for them to communicate their personal views, preferences, and pride. There's a time and place for everything especially when little innocent children are involved who are simply wanting a treat rather than a bold proclamation about a subject already being shoved in their face from so many angles and one obvious and recently exposed agenda.

UPDATE: I happened to drive by and noticed gnome cone has now added two more decals that, unlike the first two, my wife saw, say, "All are welcome". The first two decals she saw before they added the new ones had no words. For the record, we believe everyone should be welcomed into any business, yet we wonder how many from this small group has been refused business in Denton before and when was the last time that happened? Are the decals really needed on a children focused desert shop serving snowcones and ice cream after Disney, books in schools, and most recently, Target were found to be intentionally targeting children? Again, I'm asking this small business to consider whether children or even adults looking to enjoy a treat on a hot day truly need these decals greeting them at...

I have had been very curious about this place for quite some time. The giant gnome outside is rather eye catching. My boyfriend and I decided to stop in last week after a late breakfast and I'm so happy we did.

The inside is so cute and charming! It's like a little gnome garden/ forest inside. What's super cool is that there is a little hand washing station in the seating area outside of the bathrooms for everyone who gets sticky hands after eating a snow cone. The employees also speak into a microphone to make their voices higher when calling out orders which is really cool!

We got the sweaty yeti, which is a coconut flavor, and the cotton candy, both with cream on top but you can also get coconut cream or ice cream. The snow came in cups with a gnome face and it was packed in a point to resemble the classic hat they wear. They were very yummy! What is super cool is that they also have popsicles and drinks!

I am super excited to go back...

We finally caved to the local craze that is Gnome Cone, and are happy to report the rave reactions are totally legit. We love this place! Whoever designed this gnome confection house considered every detail, inside and out. The whole experience is quite charming. We split a large Goblinberry cone and we both agreed it was delicious and the perfect refreshment for a hard-heat Texas summer day. Wonderful bright flavor and the texture was perfect. Superior in every way to the snow cones of our youth. I especially appreciate the non-dairy options. For the plant-based crowd, Gnome Cones is a very cool alternative to perennially-loved Beth Marie's where the only option for us is tea. Gnome Cones makes for a brilliant new addition to the square and Denton culture in general. Looking forward to going...
