Cold Stone Creamery

Always delicious! Stop here for some amazing ice cream!

I love Coldstone! Props to Brandon who was apparently working by himself on a very busy Sunday afternoon. He still managed to provide friendly service and make my favorite flavor combo perfectly, which is the Mud Pie Mojo. Coffee ice cream with peanut butter, oreos, and almonds. It is oh so yummy.

Cold Stone Creamery works their softish ice cream with mix ins of your choosing. You can also select from more than a dozen signature creations and specialty items. I tend to go for Cake Batter or Sweet Cream based items though the chocolate based ones look delish but rich!
The family group I was with go out rarely and only do chains. With dread I logged my every few years trip to a Cold Stone this evening. My group’s selects were All Lovin’ No Oven, Founder’s Favorite, a chocolate with chocolate chips custom bowl, and a bowl of raspberry plain.
+ Enough staff that we didn’t have to wait to be served on a Friday night
+ 15 varieties of ice cream bases available including a seasonal offer, and all 4 of ours were fresh
— Staff gave me a sample on my request of the seasonal Dark Chocolate Peppermint, but had no suggestions for mix ins. There was a slight peppermint flavor that came through after the chocolate. To my surprise there was no peppermint candy in the base (think Edy’s) AND no crushed candy canes or anything minty for a mix in!
— Dirty tables and floor was so dirty with actual melted ice cream one in our group didn’t want to watch someone step in it and told the staff it was there.
— My Founder’s Favorite was mixed beyond recognition. No swirls of caramel or fudge, it was a hodge podge and looked a mess.
There are other options in the area and I suggest trying one of them before this location of Cold Stone.

Great ice cream and fantastic energy. Could use more seating but overall a cozy place. A great place for a sweet tooth.

They seemed energetic and really did a lot with the ice cream. Unfortunately my cotton candy tasted like sweet milk and my wife’s specialty ice cream tasted about the same albeit with more chocolate. $ 11 spent and we ended up tossing them both and having some ice cream at home instead.

I love it when they sing to me!
I have never had a bad experience here. In fact I think the young ice cream makers go out of their way to interact and some times entertain their customers. It’s pricy but it’s really really delicious so I don’t seem to mind.
So far I’ve had the Birthday Batter and the Mint Mint Chocolate Chip. Both are great. Well I’ve had the Mint Mint Chocolate Chip a lot so I guess that’ my favorite, bownies and mint ice cream… YES PLEASE!
