Custom Cakes near Issaquah, WA

“Very overpriced, but also great staff and product. Support these guys instead of getting Hagan Diaz from Safeway across the street! Manager told me prices will come down now that inflation has come down. Love the Milskyshakes!“

“Ah, Cold Stone Creamery! I don’t know what kind of wizardry they’re doing back there, but Cold Stone ice cream is so creamy. Like, suspiciously creamy. I don’t know how they do it. I assume there’s a guy in the back with a PhD in dairy science just whispering affirmations to the cream. Whatever it is, they’ve earned the “Creamery” in their name. That’s not just branding. That’s a diploma.

Now, the mix-ins get all the press. People love the mix-ins. But I’m here for the base. The foundation. The creamy core. It’s like building a house on a cloud.

This Issaquah location? It’s run entirely by Skyline High School students. I don’t think any of them need to work. They’re just doing it for the love of the game. Like, “Hey, I could be at home playing Fortnite, but I’d rather be here, folding gummy bears into mint chip for a guy who looks like he just woke up from a nap in 1997.” That’s me. I’m that guy.

It’s a teen hangout, but they serve old people like me too. We walked in at 9:50 on a Friday night, ten minutes before closing, and they didn’t even flinch. Just smiled, scooped, and let us loiter like we were paying rent. That’s hospitality. That’s Cold Stone.

There’s a fine line between laziness and genius, and these teens are skating it like pros. Instead of lugging heavy trash bags to the dumpster, one of them just casually rolled over to Fred Meyer, commandeered a shopping cart, and turned it into a mobile waste unit. Is it creative? Absolutely. Is it lazy? Maybe. But it’s also efficient, ergonomic, and kind of brilliant. That’s teenage ingenuity: solving problems with the least amount of effort and the maximum amount of swagger.

I always order something off the menu and then change it so much it becomes a new invention. Like, “I’ll have the Chocolate Devotion, but can you take out the brownies, add marshmallows, swap half the chocolate ice cream for mint, and also make it taste like regret and childhood?” And they just nod. No judgment. No questions. Just vibes.

My wife noticed I had more ice cream than she did, even though we ordered the same size. The server, Ayush, overheard and immediately offered to top hers off. That’s five-star service. That’s Cold Stone diplomacy.

They’ve got the classics like chocolate, vanilla, and mint, but then they hit you with flavors like “Honey Cornbread with Blackberry Jam.” It tasted like a scone that got tenure. And churro flavor? Sure. Why not. It’s November, so of course there’s pumpkin spice. It’s the law.

Anyway, five stars. I’ll be back. Probably tonight. Probably at 9:50.“

“Best “Cake in a Jar” options ever!! Her buttercream frosting is to die for, highly recommend!“

“I ordered my 50th birthday cake from this shop, and was so impressed. When they brought out my cake, it was so much more beautiful than the gorgeous photos on their website that I teared up. My party guests were blown away by how beautiful it was. Then we cut the cake and it was DELICIOUS. It was moist and flavorful. The frosting was not too sweet, and the raspberry filling was tart and perfect. I would absolutely order another cake from this shop again, and recommend it.“

“Most amazing artistry and delicious product. Michael was a joy to work with, and really made my daughters birthday.“

“Great Baskin-Robbins location. We have gone several times and it does not disappoint. They have a lot of different ice cream flavors, and they even added mangonadas. Staff is always friendly, welcoming and helpful. There is plenty of parking near the store, but it is also shared with other local stores.“

“I wanted something small and savory after a chiro appointment and this place was great! There's a lot of good options in this lot, but for quick, tasty and a great value the bakery is wonderful! You really cannot beat the price. I got the new king mushroom bao which was savory and had crunchy, chewy bits (really good texture). The pork and chives was very classic and had plenty of big chopped chives. I look forward to trying their pickled sides as well.“

“Amazing service! There was such a long time and only one employee. There gentleman working was super fast but also had conversations with everyone so no one felt rushed. He deserves to be employee of the year with how he managed to be the only employee serving so many people and still managed to smile and make every customer smile!“

“Redecorated, reopened, new focus for business.

Food is fresh, made to order. Quality is impeccable. Flavors are great.

I ordered an Italian sandwich. Comes on bagel. Bagel is soft and simply wonderful. Everything has a well balanced flavor together.

My double tall capp was great too. Very well executed cappuccino with just the right amount of foam. Beans have nice flavor. Not overpowering, not weak, not pruney aftertaste of cheap Arabica. Good quality medium roast.

Seating is quite comfortable. Handicap and wheel chair accessible. Kid friendly. Nice place to relax and unwind, get a nibble or light lunch or breakfast, and some caffeine.

Staff is prompt and professional. They make it nice here.

The breakfast sandwiches look amazing. Will try that next!“

“The server Justin was the best. He was extremely polite and made sure the food was given on time.“

“Great experience! The workers there are so friendly and welcoming, they work very efficiently while keeping quality work. Special shout out to one of the workers, Rebecca, she is so kind and was working great even in the chaos of a busy day. The ice cream was great too with a great selection of dairy free ice creams, 100% worth it!“
