Lady working there was very rude

Always get custom birthday cakes for my kids here. I ask them if they want to try something different each year, but the answer is always no — Cold Stone Ice Cream Cake! The cake has been great every time. On the rare occasion there has been a mistake, the owner has immediately swooped in to fix any issue herself! You can tell customer service is her #1 priority without question.

Consistently wonderful!
Freshness in every bite, from the vibrant strawberries to the chocolate chips and that warm, crunchy waffle cone! I customized my order, and the staff executed it flawlessly, proving that great service is just as important as great ice cream. You can truly taste the quality in every bite. And the birthday cake ice cream—creamy, A total game-changer. Cold Stone is on my list of must-visit spots!

Me and my girlfriend came to Cold Stone for an after-dinner date — just looking to end the night on a sweet note. What we got instead was some of the nastiest, most miserable energy I’ve ever felt from a worker. First off, I get that people have bad days — we’re all human. But if your attitude is that disgusting, do everyone a favor and just call out. Nobody wants to be served by someone who clearly hates being there.

What made it worse is that there was a sweet Black girl working who was clearly doing her best to keep things running. She came out of the bathroom, noticed DoorDash drivers waiting, and jumped in to help — and the white girl behind the counter had the absolute worst attitude about it. Like, seriously? You’re mad because someone’s helping?

Then, when that same rude worker came to help us, the vibe was just off. Cold, dismissive, like we were bothering her just by existing. She made our ice cream but didn’t even bother to check us out. We were literally standing there for 10 minutes while my ice cream melted. The Black girl, again being the only professional one there, came over and finally rang us up — the only reason I even tipped.

I genuinely feel bad for her. She deserves better than to be paired with someone with such a nasty spirit. Cold Stone, do better. You’re lucky she was working, or this would’ve been a complete waste of time and money.

I’ve been to this location multiple times, and each time I’ve encountered the same rude girl working behind the counter. She’s a white girl with a nasty attitude—rolling her eyes, slamming things down, and treating both customers and her own coworkers with complete disrespect. It’s honestly embarrassing to watch. The way she acted toward her coworker today was disgusting—I genuinely felt bad for that employee. If I were in her shoes, I wouldn’t have tolerated that for a second.

This isn’t a one-time issue either. Every time she’s taken my order, it’s been the same energy: rude, dismissive, and just plain unprofessional. I don’t know how management hasn’t handled this yet, but they really need to fix it ASAP. It’s honestly shocking that they’re still in business with someone like that representing the front counter.

Do better. Smh

I have nothing but good things to say about Cold Stone Creamery. The atmosphere is always welcoming, and the music adds such a fun vibe to the place. The employees are incredibly helpful, friendly, and always ready to give great recommendations. You can tell they care about making your experience a good one.

The ice cream? Absolutely amazing—rich, creamy, and full of flavor. I would come here every time if I could! It’s one of those spots you just look forward to visiting. I highly recommend Cold Stone to all my friends and family. It’s always a treat in every way!

Cold Stone Creamery consistently delivers an outstanding ice cream experience that goes above and beyond expectations. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a welcoming smile and great customer service that makes you feel like more than just another customer. One of the standout features is how quickly and efficiently you’re served. Even during busy hours, the staff moves with purpose and keeps the line flowing without sacrificing the quality of your treat. Their positive energy creates a fun, upbeat environment that adds to the overall experience. The ice cream itself is rich, creamy, and packed with flavor — exactly what you’d hope for from a premium dessert. But what really sets Cold Stone apart are the mix-ins. Whether it’s brownies, cookie dough, fresh fruit, or candy, the combination possibilities are endless and always delicious. Everything is mixed right on the signature cold granite slab, ensuring a perfect blend in every bite. Portion sizes are just right — generous enough to satisfy, but never overwhelming. The team always seems to make the perfect recommendation or adjustment, so you leave happy and satisfied. Cold Stone isn’t just about great ice cream — it’s about creating a moment. And every visit feels like just that: a sweet, enjoyable, perfectly crafted moment. Highly recommended for anyone looking to treat themselves.

6pm today African American girl didn’t open her mouth the whole time she handed me my order like I was the enemy for no reason. If you can’t perform even minimally like a civilized human being then you shouldn’t work at these types of jobs.

Cold Stone never disappoints — the ice cream is super creamy, and you can mix in whatever you want, plus their cakes are amazing. The staff is always really friendly and fun. I came here with my friends on my birthday and all of us enjoyed thoroughly. Highly Recommend.

Cold Stone never disappoints!
The ice cream is incredibly creamy, and the mix-in options let you customize every scoop to perfection. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and super efficient, preparing my order quickly even with a long line. I tried the “Founder’s Favorite” with a waffle bowl absolute heaven. It’s a fantastic spot for a sweet treat after dinner, a fun outing with friends, or a cool escape on a hot afternoon!
