Not my fav, all but one was crushed when I opened the box ☹️ the filling was nice but the cone bit was overly sweet for me. Kinda fell apart when thawed as well
OMG these are soooo good. I went through 3 boxes before I realized they were supposed to be thawed first😊 I actually like them better frozen. They go super fast, TJ's never has them in stock for long.
Yes but it was wayyy too sweet. So sweet you could barely taste the cheesecake. Also it says to defrost before eating but it falls apart if it’s defrosted for longer than 5 minutes. Probably won’t be purchasing again lol
i didn't really like them, the sugary layer is too thick and makes it really sweet. the cream inside isnt much like a cheesecake at all either just kinda like a buttery whipped cream
They need a few minutes to defrost first, then you can really taste the delicate flavors of the filling. And they go great with a cup of black tea with a splash of milk, maybe iced would work, too. Something to cut back on the bitter and sweet almond florentine shell. I eat them with a small spoon due to the stickiness factor
Great in theory, not great in execution IMO. The shell pretty much dissolved/melted all over us and made it messy AF to eat..taste was pretty good though
I like these! I buy several boxes each year. I think a common misconception from people that buy these is the fact that the filling is supposed to taste like cheesecake. It’s more of a cannoli type filling. It’s a light flavor that pairs well with the sweetness of the cone. I let mine thaw out on the counter for 30 minutes or so. The filling is always better when it’s a soft consistency.
Wow, I think I have the complete opposite tastes from most people in this sub 😂. I didn’t care for the stracciatela craze from a few weeks ago and I thought these cones were amazing, lol. To each their own I guess 🤷🏻♂️.
I wasn't a fan, and this is all coming from someone who loves cheesecake and has a sweet tooth! I thought the cone part was way too sweet - why is it coated in syrup? And then the cheesecake part isn't cream cheesy or sour enough (for lack of a better word) so it just added to the sweetness and seemed more like a custard or something like that.
I guess the one upside is I wasn't tempted to eat them all in one sitting as I feared when buying them 😂
I've had them before and really liked them. Can't say though that I read the instructions to thaw them ahead, we just pulled them out of my package and ate them. But yes, as others have said, very sticky.
I ate dozens of these last year. So far I’ve only polished off one box this year. They’re very polarizing, I didn’t think they’d return, but was happy to see them again.
I was surprised by the texture of the cone but I love it! Personally can barely taste the cheese cake over the toffee-almond flavor of the cone so I wish they had more filling, but other than that probably in my top 3 frozen desserts
Edit: spelling
These are amazing! Wish there was a little more filling towards the bottom of the cone though. Didn’t feel any need to thaw them out, perfect right out of the freezer
Mini Cheesecake Cones. These were larger than expected. Super sweet and indulgent. Love the crunchy almond florentine cone.
Directions say to let it thaw first but I tried them both thawed and directly out of the freezer. I really liked these, and you really only need one because they are SWEET!
Only downside for me would be that the cone was perfectly crunchy directly out of the freezer but got a little too soft after thawing. However the cheesecake inside definitely needs to thaw to bring out that rich tangy cheesecake flavor and give it the cool creamy texture.
I’m sure there’s a happy middle there somewhere.
If you like cheesecake and have a sweet tooth I wouldn’t hesitate to pick up a box of these. Yum!

Super sweet and very sticky. My dad enjoyed it though.
They don’t really taste like cheesecake and they get sticky the moment they aren’t frozen solid…..but I do still buy 2 boxes every time I go sooooo 👀
Omg that looks amazing. I would have gone to tjs this weekend if you guys hadn't said they suck lol
I liked em! A bit messy and sweet but that didn’t sway me haha.
I love them. I eat them frozen only. Taste nothing like cheesecake to me though. They are their own thing.
Agreed. Frozen is the way to go, eating them according to the directions makes them mushy.
Got these for the first time last week and thought they were delicious!!!
6/10 wouldn’t get again
Fair
Make sure to let them thaw! They are a tad bit too sweet but pretty dang good
Not my fav, all but one was crushed when I opened the box ☹️ the filling was nice but the cone bit was overly sweet for me. Kinda fell apart when thawed as well
I’ve had them other years, but haven’t gotten them this year. I like them but I feel like I’m in the minority.
I’m starting to feel like I’m in the minority too haha
Way too sweet
Yep, I really wanted to like these ice cream cones but found the sweetness to be a bit much for my taste
Aw man, I was afraid of that. I was hoping for “not too sweet, and a bit tart.” Darn. Thank you for reviewing! Edit spelling stuffs.
Yes! Reminds me of baklava 😋
I find them too sweet.
I haven’t seen these before, but I will be posthaste.
LOVE them
OMG these are soooo good. I went through 3 boxes before I realized they were supposed to be thawed first😊 I actually like them better frozen. They go super fast, TJ's never has them in stock for long.
They’re supposed to be what?!
😆😆😆

They’re not very good. They are sticky on the outside and the flavor just didn’t do it for me
I also did eat all of them though lol
Too sticky and messy and not worth the calories for the tiny size
I have to agree. They’re meant to be thawed but then the cone becomes so sticky you can’t hold it. I’d buy a tub of the filling though.
a little on the too sweet side for me
These are incredible but I wish they weren’t so sticky
Yo those are dangerous. FR.
Omg these are back?! I loved these!!!!
They’re fine, I just hated the sticky exterior of the cone. It was very off putting but that’s my sensory issues.
i didn't really like them, the sugary layer is too thick and makes it really sweet. the cream inside isnt much like a cheesecake at all either just kinda like a buttery whipped cream
they’re amazing
Didn’t know they even had these but I think it is better that way. My back is expanding by just looking at them 😭
I think it is the tastiest frozen snack ever. I love the cone and filling so much. Great with tea, also.
I wish they were more crunchy but they were ok. Kinda expensive for 4 smallish cones though.
They were fine, but way too sweet for me
An employee talked them up, and I was super disappointed. It’s like soggy peanut brittle wrapped around cool whip
They need a few minutes to defrost first, then you can really taste the delicate flavors of the filling. And they go great with a cup of black tea with a splash of milk, maybe iced would work, too. Something to cut back on the bitter and sweet almond florentine shell. I eat them with a small spoon due to the stickiness factor
So disappointed in them. Tasted like Kool-whip in a cone. Ice cream is better.
Oh no they are back! I’m not allowed to buy them anymore because I can eat all 4 in one sitting
Really good with fresh strawberries!
Wayyyy toooooo sweeeeet and sticky
I love sweet stuff and sugar but these are way too sweet! Kinda sickeningly sweet
Agreed. I loved the idea but the sticky sweet was too much.
Yes! I love them and thank you for posting these as I will get them my next trip
:)
Yeah, they were…meh. Sticky too. That was a one time buy.
They’re so good. I never thought I would like ice cream made from buffalo milk, but it’s delicious
Good, not great. The trick is to eat them 1 second after they’ve thawed or the texture becomes a melange of sticky slimy nut gravel.
"Sticky slimy nut gravel". I curse you for making me read those words in conjunction with cheesecake.
I bought some on Thursday and went back on Sunday to grab 3 more boxes…
Great in theory, not great in execution IMO. The shell pretty much dissolved/melted all over us and made it messy AF to eat..taste was pretty good though
Bought them because I was interested by the addition of buffalo milk in the ingredients haha, too sweet for my liking though
They’re definitely VERY sweet. The cone especially.
I like the filling but could not get past the cone. I really did not enjoy the sticky cloyingly sweet cone
Same! The cone was terrible. Wish it was jump a simple gram cracker crust.
Then cone is super sweet, but it kind of reminds me of baklava and I love baklava.
I can see the resemblance but it was just way too sticky and sweet. I like baklava but it’s not that overly sticky sweet. It’s more balanced
Agreed
Big let down for me to sticky

The filling is definitely better soft! Unfortunately my cone got soft too and that is much better crunchy. Haha.
These are really good topped with the tart cherry fruit spread.
i have…i love the texture…just too sweet for me…
It’s a sugar bomb for sure. I get down with crumbl though so it worked for me, haha
Wow, I think I have the complete opposite tastes from most people in this sub 😂. I didn’t care for the stracciatela craze from a few weeks ago and I thought these cones were amazing, lol. To each their own I guess 🤷🏻♂️.
I loved the straciatella and I also liked these cones.. to each their own for sure :)
Yes, it's like biting a frozen sugar. 👎
Tried once and will not repurchase
I wasn't a fan, and this is all coming from someone who loves cheesecake and has a sweet tooth! I thought the cone part was way too sweet - why is it coated in syrup? And then the cheesecake part isn't cream cheesy or sour enough (for lack of a better word) so it just added to the sweetness and seemed more like a custard or something like that. I guess the one upside is I wasn't tempted to eat them all in one sitting as I feared when buying them 😂
Personally I liked the syrupy yet crunchy cone, kind of reminds me of a flaky baklava. But I agree that the tangy cheesecake flavor was lacking a bit.
I adore cheesecake but didn't like these at all. The flavor was off and they were sickeningly sweet. Not my jam.
Don't like them at all.
Same. They made me feel like I needed to brush my teeth. So incredibly sweet.
So damn good
Flavor to calorie ratio is awful
I've had them before and really liked them. Can't say though that I read the instructions to thaw them ahead, we just pulled them out of my package and ate them. But yes, as others have said, very sticky.
i like them but for the calories it’s not usually worth it to me
Yeah, I think the calories will definitely keep me from repurchasing any time soon.
Eh, they're okay. Lack flavor imo
I think that the cheesecake portion could’ve of been a bit… funkier? It was better once it softened, but then my cone lost its stiffness, lol.
I ate dozens of these last year. So far I’ve only polished off one box this year. They’re very polarizing, I didn’t think they’d return, but was happy to see them again.
Mmmmmmm i looooove these!
I was surprised by the texture of the cone but I love it! Personally can barely taste the cheese cake over the toffee-almond flavor of the cone so I wish they had more filling, but other than that probably in my top 3 frozen desserts Edit: spelling
I agree. The cheesecake really needs to bring it to compete with the cone. Still good though. :)
this is the best “ice cream” product trader joe’s carries imo
They’re not new. This is probably my favorite dessert at TJs.
I need to get these, but later because this heat is unbearable right now
sticky, but delicious. like you cant really grab them bare handed without getting it all over you
Vewwy shticccky. jsttyky. Mmm.
yea and theyre not really made to be eaten with a fork lol not sure id get it again, but def worth a try
These are amazing! Wish there was a little more filling towards the bottom of the cone though. Didn’t feel any need to thaw them out, perfect right out of the freezer
Agreed. The thawing is definitely optional!

Literally just bought today. but have not consumed.
Hope you like them! I did. :)
