Cool Spoons is proudly owned by Don and Jill Johnson of Carbondale, Illinois. They had discussed opening an ice cream place on and off for a long time and, in August of 2011, decided to pull the trigger and start the process. They sat it out with two goals in mind. The first, to create a place for everyone to feel comfortable and to enjoy a good frozen treat. The second, to create a self-serve style parlor where customers could create exactly what they want. 

Today, that's exactly what Cool Spoons has become. Stepping inside, customers are greeted by 18 unique flavors of ice cream, frozen yogurt, sorbets, and non dairy soft serves. In addition customers will find over 235 different toppings ranging from fruit to chocolate candies to nuts and an awesome selection of sauces. At Cool Spoons, customers can truly create exactly the kind of treat they're looking for.
