Cold Stone Creamery

In 90 degree weather, this ice cream will certainly do. Got the mint mint chocolate chip which is always good at any Coldstone.

I know this place well. I’m a Tim Hortons fan, so I used to go for the coffee when I went to a discussion group across the street. I haven’t been there in awhile but decided to take the family there today for ice cream.
Problem 1: music was so loud I couldn’t hear the server, and she couldn’t hear me. I had to repeat everything to my daughter and then back to the server.
Problem 2: They advertise and push their mix-​ins, but don’t have everything in stock. Today they were out of chocolate chips and a couple of other things. Some of the ice cream slots were empty, too. I was disappointed that the dark chocolate was not available. It looks pretty sad to have the empty serving containers still in the service window.
Problem 3: I guess the server couldn’t hear me all that well. My daughter asked for M&Ms in her ice cream and received Kit Kats.
I wish they had regular cones. The waffle cones are too big for a kid and they didn’t have any regular wafer or sugar cones.
The ice cream itself is good. This location, however, doesn’t seem to stock many flavors.

This location was by far the worse Cold Stone I have ever been to. They was out of a lot of flavors, and the ice I ordered was good but the topping was sub par. The description was a Funnel Cake. something or other. The funnel cake was EXTREMELY hard to point it hurt my teeth no lie, They was out of the french Vanilla (that’s what it came with) but I settled on the red velvet ice cream which was pretty good. It also was suppose to have purée strawberries nope i got a reg strawberries added to the top of it… Overall it was decent not great like I would get from Other Cold Stones.

Went earlier today. Love the ice cream and mix ins. But the girl who served me this time and last time made me feel bad for even ordering. Just gave me a bland what are you after and didnt say anything at all after that. I told her (quite nicely) my order and got no response what so ever. She didnt want to be there.

Strawberry Banana Rendezvous. Need I say more? This concoction is my absolute favorite! I never order anything else. Strawberry ice cream mixed with graham cracker pie crust, white chocolate chips, a fresh banana and strawberries. The flavor is always awesome, no matter what Cold Stone I visit.
However, the service at this spot leaves a lot to be desired. One magical day I got to be in the middle of a teenage employee gabbing with her hoodlum friends while slowly making my ice cream and getting my change. At one point, she held my money while she continued a thought she had. Lame-​O.
I hardly ever eat in, but I am certainly not a fan of the seating area. It feels really cramped, but– it gets the job done.
And really, who else offers ice cream like this?

Wait, you just walked by this place. Yes this is a Cold Stone. It also happens to be a Tim Hortons. Don’t be afraid since you can barely tell the place is with establishment more or less it being open.
As more and more Cold Stones close in the city, take solace in knowing this one is the only one above 59^th street. I always get whatever combination allows me the most chocolate and peanut butter combination possible. I was jealous of the person with me because after he asked for a small, they apparently «made too much» and gave it to him in a medium cup. They charged me more for the same amount of ice cream. Next time, I’m going with the small.

I am the biggest fan of ColdStone! To me its one of my God’s lol.
I found this place when I was in HS, 7 ever since then I fell in love. Sure their kind of pricey but dude have you tasted the quality in it?! Its ORGASMIC! lmao
I love the people here in 72^nd. They alrdy know me, thts kind of sad because thts how much I go there.
I always get the Chocolate Devotion: Chocolate ice cream, Chocolate chips, brownie, chocolate syrup.
As for me I sub the chocolate chips for peacans & I also add caramel syrup. When I tell you I devour this «Got to have it» which is the largest cup, I seriously lick the cup its self. Yes I’m a beast haha. If you add your icecream to a waffle cup, even better. plus if you go to the one on 72^nd st. you might run into someone famous, you just can’t really bombard them cause it’s kind of against the rules. Doesn’t hurt to stare lol.
Anyways I’ll forever love this place, and i even got a card from them tht once you get to your tenth hole punched into the card you get a FREE icecreammmm :) Can’t wait!

Came in to get my free scoop of ice cream and mix in. The place was empty on a sunny and warm afternoon on Saturday. Plenty of tables and chairs to sit, just watch out for the stickiness and bits of dried ice cream and toppings on the tables.
Happy to redeem my birthday free «like it» size, since I moved to NYC! Y’all should join the Cold Stone Birthday Club! I got coffee ice cream with roasted almonds and it was creamy and tasty as ever! Better than my Baskin Robbins free scoop!

Exterior is so trashy, especially for a corporate spot like this, but the interior is no better, minus the flashy LCD displays of the menu, not a CS staple the last time I was there. Awful service, average CS fare, wouldn’t return; sad I wasted my $ in NYC at a chain but had to try a new flavor.

Ssssshhhhhh… in the culinary wasteland of West 72^nd St, this is my favorite oasis. Recently, they opened up a Tim Horton store inside so they also sell coffee and doughnuts in addition to the ice cream. Great for the winter months when it’s too cold for ice cream.
The place is spacious with enough café tables and chairs to allow you to relax. It’s a great place to go when you just need a break without having to fight the crowds at Starbucks or Aroma.
Cheers!

ive been to other cold stone stores and when i came to this one i just felt sad for these kids working. the line was huge and there were only about 3 of them working and the space is limited so i guess they cant get anyone else to work back there even if they wanted.
my boyfriend and i have come up with the best mixtures!
cheesecake ice cream
caramel
cookie dough
kit kat bar
ive had this made about 5 times before but this location was my first time and damn she only put one cookie dough! for a large portion! c’mon =(anyways it came out fantastic but i just felt like i was being rushed in the process and my ice cream wasnt given proper love!

I’m a big fan of the Cold Stone chain, but this location sorely disappointed. How?
1) The waffle bowl was so stale, I wondered if it’d been out on the shelf since last year.
2) We got there at 10:30, ½ hour before closing time — but the staff was cleaning up and putting the chairs on top of the tables so quickly, we had to grab a couple before they were overturned — not so inviting.
3) During said clean-​up process, a long line of ice cream was dripped all over the floor, up to and out of the door — and nothing was done about it.
Me thinks not.

This past Saturday, the temperature of NYC had reached an unbearable 96 degrees with a heat index of 110. I, being the cheap ass that I am, had already taken the damn air conditioner out of the window, and was suffering in my pizza oven of a studio apartment.
Water upon water was not cooling me down, and I had come to my wits end. It was time to take drastic measures and get something colder. Ice cream.
***looks down in shame***
I know… ice cream… one of the most calorie stuffed items that should never pass the lips of humans of any orientation. But for us gay men with unrealistic body images, well, just one spoon is going to mean 30 minutes on the treadmill! BUT IT WAS HOT, DAMNIT!
I had never been to a Cold Stone Creamery before, so I figured now was the time to try something new. The décor of this place is… well it looks like every other chain place. Change the uniforms of the employees and the logo and it could easily be a Dunkin Donuts, or a KFC, or any other place. Oddly enough, I passed several other ice cream shops and gelaterie on the way, and each of them had a line out the door. This place, however, had no line at all.
As you walk in, the ice cream ordering area is in the back of the establishment (which is good if you are a closet ice cream eater). Waiting in line, I surveyed the menu and picked the «Berry, Berry, Good» mix. You can choose to go it alone and pick a plain ice cream and choose the items you want mixed into it, but the menu does not tell you what the choices are, and frankly, I didn’t want to have to guess. My recipe was simple. Ice cream with strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries. A recipe any high school graduate should be able to comprehend it.
The woman who took my order obviously has not graduated high school. Upon my ordering of the most guilty of all pleasures, she gave me a blank stare, then turned to look at the menu. She turned back to me and said «Where is that on the menu?»
It was hot, I was miserable, about to eat 10 billion calories, and not in the mood, so I just told her how to make the damn dish. Now this is where I made my mistake. I ordered a large.
Who the hell eats that much ice cream in one sitting? My ass grew an inch just looking at it.
Watching her scoop the equivalent of 4 cups of ice cream, I looked down at my waistline and said goodbye to the shorts I was wearing. She plopped the ice cream down on the stone and mixed it with the fruit items from the recipe, and finished by putting the mushed mixture into a large cup for me.
I guess this is the «draw» of the place. Watching them mix your ice cream for you. For me, it seemed a little bit much, and I probably would have been just as happy with a pre-​mixed ice cream.
Cost…well that’s another story. This shit ain’t cheap! Just over $ 9 for a large ice cream. I’ve bought burritos for cheaper, and they are a healthier choice!
The taste? To be honest, I wasn’t too thrilled. But ice cream is ice cream. If I had to do it again, I’d be more likely to go to the Ben and Jerry’s and order a single scoop.
