Cone Crazy

Size does matter—at least when it comes to ice cream and the Cobleskill Diner swirls cones so big that your diet will need a support group. But nobody's complaining, certainly not me; go big or go home—that's the Cobleskill Diner's way!

The Cobleskill Diner, a family-run business for over 40 years, serves a full range of menu items for breakfast, lunch, and dinner year-round. Their towering soft ice creams are seasonal and available Tuesday through Sunday from 1:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

Come for the cow country charm, stay for the 12-pound ice cream cone!  From left to right, the Squirt is $1.25, the Newborn is $1.75, the Baby is $2.50, Small is $3.50, Medium is $4.99, and the Large is a very reasonable $5.99.

Last summer, the photo of the ice cream appeared on a Schoharie County Facebook page and quickly garnered hundreds of comments, shares, and likes (not licks); some even joked that it was the Cobleskill Diner's small.

It's not a "small" someone was kidding. It's a large cone, but their prices are so reasonable that customers say they pay a little more than $5 for the 20-swirl masterpiece.

Better Start Licking

The Facebook comments were priceless, and most would agree that a visit to the Cobleskill Diner is well worth the detour of I-88, and possibly the hernia!
