We are thrilled to officially announce Conefection by The Fountain, joining the upcoming Wash Ave Food Hall at 1122 Washington Ave as a founding vendor!

​As HuSTL Hospitality continues to pivot into projects that support our community-oriented vision, we couldn't be more excited about this investment in the heart of Downtown St. Louis. Located just blocks from the Convention Center, Conefection—along with our other concept, Steve's Smash - Burgers & Fries —will often serve as a visitor’s very first taste of St. Louis hospitality!

​Conefection takes the heart of what we do at The Fountain and translates it into a colorful, fast-casual, quicker service experience:

✨ The same rich, premium dairy brought in weekly from Wisconsin
✨ Our iconic scratch-made hot fudge, warm caramel, and real whipped cream
✨ A super fun focus on over-the-top scoops, flavor-infused cones, candied garnishes, and real edible gold dust!

​From our Main Squeeze (Orange Dreamsicle cone + candied orange peel) to Zanzibar in the Dark (Dark Chocolate ice cream + hot fudge + edible gold syrup), we’re bringing pure joy and serious indulgence to Washington Avenue.

​🎉 Opening Fall 2026 in partnership with WASH AVE Food Hall, , and Oliver Properties.
