The staff was friendly and quick, and everything tasted fresh. Only reason it’s not a full 5 stars is the price a bit steep for the size. Still, it hit the spot and I’d come back for sure to try other flavors!
I choose to sit inside, they do have outdoor seating.
On August 7, my husband and I went in because we were craving the ice cream tacos we had seen circulating on TikTok. Unfortunately, we were told they were no longer available since they had been a limited-time item. We decided to order something else instead. I got one of their menu options and my husband chose a caramel apple. He reasonably expected that it would be made fresh, as caramel apples do not require much preparation. Instead, it was pulled directly from a fridge.
We paid and went outside to enjoy our desserts. My husband’s apple was pre-sliced, so he ate the slices first and then lifted the portion still on the stick. That is when he noticed a quarter-sized spot of mold on the bottom. We immediately brought it back inside. Shockingly, the two employees on duty were completely unconcerned. They treated the situation as though it were no big deal, showed no genuine customer service skills, and acted as if we were inconveniencing them. They processed a refund and said they would contact their owner/manager, Devon.
Later that evening, around 6:00 p.m., we received a call from one of the employees, who said she had spoken with Devon. His solution was to offer another caramel apple free of charge. Nothing more, not even a sincere apology or a commitment to ensure this does not happen again.
On August 9, I filed a complaint directly with Cold Stone customer service. On August 10, I received a notification that they had received my complaint and would reach out accordingly. However, no one from corporate contacted us. Instead, it was the owner/manager reaching out, which should have been done from the start and not just having an employee relay information. When Devon eventually called us, he did apologize, but it felt rushed and insincere. He continually interrupted while we were explaining what happened and was clearly more interested in getting his own response out than actually listening to us.
We left this experience not only disgusted by the moldy product, but also by the lack of care, accountability, and basic customer service from both the staff and the owner. Not to mention, my husband was unwell for a couple of days after eating this molded apple. This situation should never have happened in the first place if proper precautions were being taken. We now have zero confidence in this location and are sure we should not return.
I am currently in need of an ice cream cake for my son, but I will do everything in my power to avoid this location, including making it myself if I have to.
My recommendation is to avoid Cold Stone altogether or, at the very least, steer clear of this location. There are plenty of ice cream shops that take pride in both their products and their customers, and this one is not among them.
However, the ice cream did not taste as rich or flavorful as it once did. The quality feels different from what I remember. Customer service was mediocre, and the atmosphere was not particularly welcoming.
With improved product consistency and stronger customer engagement, this location could better reflect the brand’s reputation.
NOTE: where ever we visit the customers should greeted with a welcoming and inviting but here totally disappointed . The staffs here are not even have smile on their face and seems like they don’t like us to come here. It’s really hard for me to complaint but it’s an important note the Cold stone company should consider for the company good reputation .
Also kindly keep the place neat and clean. All the tables are unclean with lots of dirt , ice cream wastes, and etc . Even they don’t have napkin instead of that they had toilet paper on the cashier counter for customers general napkin needs .
Except these two things we actually enjoyed our ice cream crave . Would like to visit often .
