“So my experience tonight was the picture of customer service excellence.Let me preface this with the fact that I, alongside two random passerbys, was the ahole customer that walks in 10 minutes before close.I entered behind the two passerbys and watch the conversing employees end their talk and get into work mode. Their promptness was wasted, though, as the two ghouls that shambled off the street ahead of me acted as though they were going to wait until closing time to order.If this bothered the cold stone employees, I could not tell. As a matter of fact, I felt that I was more visibly bothered by the duo's languor than either of the three associates.Two of the associates set to task indefinitely once the gents could figure out their order, all the while the third associate cleaned until it was my turn to order. She was a pleasure to work with; it was service with... well, the sound of a smile, as they still have to wear masks on the job.Nevertheless, they wished us all a good night and I regret not asking for their names so I could commend them all individually here.I have only had positive experiences here recently and I believe this spot will be hard pressed to replace these three when they're gone.“

“The best thing here is the gelato. It’s super high end. Smoothies >$7 latte >$7. Served in to go cups. Not a ton of natural lighting, but some seating decent for working. The gelato is really nice actually, esp spicy mango.

Some outdoor seating.

I have had their smoothies and one of their lattes, Rocky Mountain latte. I asked for less sweet and it was still too sweet to finish.“

“Daniel and Flynn were absolutely amazing! We ordered cookies for delivery through the website, and they were delivered to the wrong address. I called the store, Daniel picked up, and they kindly explained that the order had been assigned to a 3rd party delivery service. They immediately refunded our order, and after placing another order they assured it would be delivered by their driver. Flynn showed up soon after with our warm cookies and the two of them turned what would have been a 1-star review into a 5-star review!“

“As a Maryland native, I appreciate a good snowball. This place has such a great variety that we've been back many times and it never gets old. The friendly staff take great care in crafting each snowball - moreso than any Maryland snowball stand I've been to. And I love that they repurposed an old bank to sell snowballs!“

Loved the drinks we tried, and we even splurged with some ice cream at the end. Service was fast and friendly. Now we just wish we had gone sooner!!“

“After managing various locations in different states, I’m really a critic when I come to a store. I can’t help it, I’m always seeing if things are how they should be. They had it going on during a busy Sunday in the holiday season. The counters were clean, the tubs were scraped, they were offering samples and the ice cream was tempered just right. Def a vast improvement from this location years prior. Proud of the streets of southpoint.“
