I personally would like to thank the young man working today at around 6 pm. As he not only provided excellent service but coached me into picking the right ice cream recipe for my aunt and I. We may not speak English but we could understand the help that he wanted to provide at his store. Keep up the hard work. Cold Stone ROCKS!

I really enjoy this creamy ice cream, but miss the BOGO coupons we used to get in the Sunday newspaper. There was a line when we came in, so I kept changing my mind. I ended up with butter pecan and mint for my Love It, and I loved it.

I love Cold Stone ice cream. My favorite is strawberry blonde (in the picture). There are two parking lots available. One in Target and the other one next to Chipotle. If it's too busy inside, you have to wait outside for safety covid restrictions. Employees wear masks. Safe and clean.

I like the ice cream from here, but it is so disappointing that they do not have any indoor seating. Not a single chair in sight. It can be difficult to sit outside, especially when it is cold and raining, and I'm sure that can affect the sales a bit. However, the service here is pretty good, and helped address my concerns about coupons. I always get the founder's favorite and really enjoy my experience every time I come to this location.

I’ve been coming to this Cold Stone for about a year now, and I always notice the Indian lady who works here. She is professional and handles the store really well, even when it’s busy….I’ve seen her manage everything alone quickly and smoothly. Just yesterday, a young boy came in struggling to order in Spanish, and she instantly picked up on it and tried speaking to him in Spanish to make him comfortable. I really liked how she handled that. The store is good, and having people like her makes you want to keep coming back.
