Cold Stone Creamery

Long line and only 3 girls working. Not to mention the place was a disaster and totally unorganized. Also one of the girls didn’t have a hat on and found a hair in my ice cream later on. Love cold stone but I’ll think twice before going back

Birthday cake remix — need I say more?! Cake batter ice cream, sprinkles, a brownie, and fudge — it is the perfect combination! They are all mixed together on marble in front of you.
The only downfall is that cake batter appears to be so popular that the past two times I’ve been there they have been out or on the verge of running out (yes, I may have begged them to scrape the container the most recent time — I needed cake batter!) My only request is that they have more cake batter so they never run out, it is that good!
Tip: if they are out of cake batter or mostly out, get what you can and have them add some chocolate. That is really yummy too :)

You are greeted as you walk in the door with smiles and a clean shop! Lots of different choices to create a delicious masterpiece with! Awarded 3 stars from me due to the lack of ‘toppings’. Out of brownies, Reese’s and tried to substitute. Still tasted phenomenal but could have been WAY better! No take home lid for the waffle bowl so it was a awkward drive home!

So I’m clearly ok with spending $ 5 on ice cream if I walk through the door here, right? But I expect to get what I paid for. Instead, the ice cream was so soft that employee couldn’t really mix it for fear of it becoming total soup before she even got it in my bowl. This meant I had two hockey pucks of unbroken cookie dough floating in a bowl of oreo ice cream soup. Total disappointment.
I should have known when the employee didn’t struggle at all getting my ice cream out of the case. Instead of digging and pulling the ice cream to get enough, it pulled right up. The mess was so gross and drippy and seriously there isn’t a better word than disappointing. I ended up throwing most of it out.
They’ll likely get another shot at my business, because I’ve had good experiences at other locations and the bf’s was fine and sometimes you want a 5,000 calorie ice cream sundae of goodness. But on this occasion, not so much.

Okay, its a chain store that I actually like. The concept here is cool. Create your own sundae from the selection of mix-​ins, or choose one of their signature blends. On me recent visits we choose one of the signature blends Strawberry & Banana with Pie Crust. It was yummy and one was perfect for sharing with my husband. The other flavor combination that we had recently was the banana ice cream with chocolate and peanut butter mixed in. Delicious. There is something about the consistency of the ice cream wit the mix-​ins that is different and defiantly better here that getting ice cream from other establishments in the area. It is expensive, but share with a friend and it brings the cost down quite a bit.

Oh Cold Stone, how I love you.
Good ice cream, fun and tasty toppings, and employees you can extensively and repeatedly embarrass with a simple jingle of change into the tip jar.
We went to the Cold Stone on Hwy 100 in Greenfield last night for some after dinner indulgence. I was surprised to find that we were the only people in there for most of our visit. Every other time I’ve ever entered any Cold Stone, it’s been packed with customers. Maybe it’s a sign as to why so many Cold Stones in the area have closed. *Sad face* But I think it has to do with the fact that Milwaukee is getting a lot of great new ice cream (or ice cream-​esque) places and the shine of gimmicky Cold Stone is dulling.
Anyhow, no matter how passé Cold Stone gets, they still serve full-​flavor ice cream and tons of tasty mix-​ins and in my book, there isn’t a damn thing wrong with that. Bring on the Cold Stone!
I got the Chocolate Cake Batter ice cream with crushed graham cracker pie crust, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, and bananas. I wish I would have skipped the banana as it overwhelmed all of the other ingredients. (Though I don’t hold that against Cold Stone as it was my mistake, not theirs.) Otherwise, it was a very delicious treat.
