It’s the first question at the counter: cone or cup? It sounds simple, but the right answer depends on the weather, your appetite, whether you want a topping and whether there’s a toddler involved.
Your options
At Alpacco, you can order soft serve as a cone, or a small, medium or large cup. Medium and large cups come with one free topping.
The case for a cone
- Classic experience: the iconic soft serve moment.
- Edible container: zero waste, extra crunch.
- Photo-friendly: cones look great on camera. See Soft Serve Photo Tips.
- Walk-and-eat: easy to hold on the go.
Downside: melts faster in the heat and drips. See How to Eat Soft Serve Before It Melts.
The case for a cup
- Toppings: cups are made for them, and medium and large include one free.
- Less mess: perfect for kids and car rides.
- Sharing: easier to split with a spoon.
- Hot days: a cup handles melting better.
