Our Story

Made local.
Served royal.

King Cones opened in McHenry Village to give Modesto an ice cream spot worth driving across town for, family-owned, community-first, and stacked with flavor.

We Love Ice Cream

A little daily celebration.

There's something timeless about a great scoop of ice cream. It's simple, joyful, and made to be shared. Real ingredients, real flavors, real smiles.

For us, ice cream isn't just dessert, it's a little daily celebration, a reason to gather, and a sweet moment that turns any day into something special. We love ice cream, and you can taste it in every scoop.

History

A dream between a husband and wife.

King Cones started as a dream between a husband and wife who always talked about opening a shop of their own. After years of sharing cones, favorites, and family traditions, that dream finally became reality. Today, we're proud to serve the Modesto community with premium Gunther's Ice Cream right here in McHenry Village.

Our Mission

Bringing people together, one cone at a time.

We're here to serve high-quality ice cream in a clean, welcoming space where everyone feels at home. From classic scoops and rotating flavors to shakes and fruit freezes, our goal is simple: bring people together and make life a little sweeter, one cone at a time.

The Ice Cream We Serve

Proudly serving
Gunther's Ice Cream.

Gunther's Ice Cream has been serving quality ice cream to the Sacramento area since 1940. Gunther's owes its reputation to its use of high-quality ingredients and a slow-churn process that produces the signature Gunther's Ice Cream experience.

Gunther's starts with its original 1940s recipe, a higher percentage of butterfat cream than commercial brands to produce the rich, smooth ice cream of yesteryear, then finishes with a hand-controlled method that creates their signature hand-crafted quality.

1940
Original recipe, Sacramento heritage.
40+
Flavors, freezes, and frozen treats on rotation.
Slow
Hand-churned. Higher butterfat. Never rushed.

That's why we serve Gunther's at King Cones, because Modesto deserves ice cream made the way ice cream is supposed to be made. One scoop, and you'll taste the difference 80+ years of craft can make.
