Get ready to scoop up some autumn goodness, Royal Oak! Golden Cone, the charming ice cream shop in downtown Royal Oak, Michigan, is rolling out its Fall Special 2024, and it’s bound to make you fall head over heels for the season.
A Taste of Autumn
As the leaves change and the air gets crisp, Golden Cone serves up a double scoop of fall flavors that’ll make you reach for a sweater and crave more. This year’s stars of the show? Grandma’s Pumpkin Spice and Caramel Apple ice cream are both courtesy of the local favorite, Guernsey Dairy.
Grandma’s Pumpkin Spice: Forget those fancy coffee shop concoctions. This ice cream tastes like Grandma’s kitchen on Thanksgiving morning. It’s got all the warm, comforting spices you love mixed into a creamy pumpkin base that’ll make you want to curl up by the fireplace.
Caramel Apple: Remember bobbing for apples as a kid? Well, now you can bob for this flavor with a spoon. It’s got chunks of real apple swirled with ribbons of gooey caramel. It’s like biting into a caramel apple, minus the sticky face and potential dental work.
More Than Just Ice Cream
But wait, there’s more! Golden Cone isn’t just about scoops in a cone (though they do that pretty darn well). They’re pulling out all the stops for fall:
- Pumpkin Spice Sundae: Picture this – a scoop of Grandma’s Pumpkin Spice ice cream, topped with whipped cream, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and a cute little candy pumpkin on top. It’s Instagram-worthy and stomach-approved.
- Caramel Apple Shake: They blend that Caramel Apple ice cream with a splash of milk and a drizzle of extra caramel. It’s like autumn in a glass, and you don’t even have to chew.
- Fall Flavor Flight: Can’t decide? Try a mini scoop of each fall flavor, plus two of their year-round favorites. It’s like a wine tasting but with less regret and more sugar.
The Golden Cone Experience
Golden Cone is more than just an ice cream shop in downtown Royal Oak’s heart. It’s a trip back when ice cream parlors were the coolest hangout spots in town. Its vintage vibe and friendly staff make it the perfect place to enjoy your fall treats.
On a nice day, sit at one of their outdoor tables. You can people-watch on Main Street while you enjoy your ice cream. Just be prepared for some serious flavor envy from passersby.
Supporting Local
