“Great ice cream treat for all, always clean and friendly !“

“Just wanna say that to the employees that were working 12/31/22 you guys are excellent ! Even when you guys were busy and the angry Christian man came in sooo Christian like yelling and cussing at you guys for politely asking the homeless person to leave. You employees were very professional and handled it very well.Just wanna say to that “passionate God-like” man, how about instead of taking it out on the cold stone employees, you use that energy at the next riverbank council meeting? Or instead Of handing someone $20 to pay for overpriced ice cream TO MAKE YOURSELF FEEL GOOD, you should’ve bought that woman a hotel room since you were so worried about her being in the rain. Just a thought.“

“Cold Stone Creamery never fails to deliver when I’m in the mood for something indulgent. The moment you walk in, you're greeted by the sweet aroma of freshly mixed waffle cones and the cheerful hum of the staff behind the counter. It’s a fun, upbeat environment that always lifts your mood. Their display of ice cream mix-ins is colorful and inviting—everything from brownies and cookie dough to fruit and candy.
I ordered their “Birthday Cake Remix” and it was just as rich and delicious as I remembered. The ice cream was smooth and creamy, and the mix-ins were fresh and well-balanced. Watching the staff mix it all together on the cold granite slab is part of the fun—there’s a bit of a performance to it that makes the visit feel special. My kids love seeing their creations come to life.
Customer service was friendly and helpful. The young man behind the counter offered helpful suggestions when I was undecided and was patient as my kids debated their toppings. Everyone seemed to be enjoying their time there, both staff and customers. The vibe was welcoming, and the team was clearly trying to keep the energy positive and upbeat.
That said, there’s a reason I’m giving it four stars instead of five. The prices are definitely on the high side, especially for families. A couple of ice cream cups and cones with mix-ins can quickly run up the bill. I don’t mind paying more for quality, but it does make it more of a special-occasion treat than a regular stop.
Another small issue was the cleanliness of the seating area. While the counter and prep area were spotless, a few of the tables hadn’t been wiped down and the trash bin was starting to overflow. It wasn’t a major deal, but it stood out a bit given the otherwise polished presentation. A little more attention to detail here would have bumped the experience up a notch.
Despite those small drawbacks, the quality of the ice cream and the fun atmosphere make Cold Stone a winner. They offer so many customizable options, so there’s really something for everyone. Whether you're a fan of classic vanilla or want to go wild with mix-ins and flavors, Cold Stone gives you room to be creative.
Overall, I’d absolutely come back. Cold Stone Creamery is a great place to treat yourself or celebrate something small with the family. I may not give it a full five stars this time, but it’s still one of our favorite ice cream spots. Looking forward to our next visit—and maybe trying a new flavor combo!“

“If you’ve been to a cold stone, then you know what you’re getting. They actually have tons of choices and I like the combinations that they put together. The service at this cold stone was very good, it was very clean in there and the ice cream was delicious.“
