Our Story

Crispy Cones originated from an idea, which grew into a vision, finally taking root in a small-town kitchen. As a freshman in college, Jeremy Carlson spent his afternoons in class and his evenings in his aunt’s St. Anthony, ID kitchen. He was determined to “Americanize” a beloved pastry from the Czech Republic called Trdelník. Thus, the crispy cone was born.

With hard work, dedication, and lots of tears, Crispy Cones launched its first location out of an inexpensive tent.
