Let me preface, I love cold stone. However, I just walked in and they closed an hour early "for being short staffed," which is unacceptable for an hour early and there is ice cream to sell. 1. You're not making money for an hour if you close, so your employees are losing you revenue-- ON A FRIDAY NIGHT. 2. Extremely unprofessional behavior by I assume a stressed out employee, lack thereof; I blame this generation. I will continue to support this store; however, accountability is a thing and it needs to be addressed. This is unacceptable behavior. I have to add a star because it's forced, but this was a 0 star experience. read more

An ordinary ice cream. Not too good but not bad. A little pricey though. Love their coffee icecream btw.

Let me tell you. I always enjoy ice cream from cold stone creamery. This location though. Its so busy. Probably cause theres not many options for ice cream shops in the area. So everyone in Fairbanks usually end up here. And I ain't kidding when I say the lobby wasn't big enough for everyone in line. Lol. For my ice cream I got a "like it size" reeses peanut butter awesome sauce substituted with coffee ice cream. This combination was amazing. Lol. Usually I don't really care for coffee ice cream. But mix in the creamy peanut butter and reeses and you got yourself a winner. Would I get this again? Heck yes!!! read more

Cold Stone Creamery - Ice cream made me wanna cream in my pants, certified - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Fairbanks, Alaska

Cookie Dough Don't You Want Some !! Well yes, YES I do! This has been my all time favorite for years. It's the most decadent, creamy & cold treat. It's crave-able. After moving to Alaska, I laughed a little when I saw a Cold Stone. I thought to myself ice cream in the winter, how could they possibly stay open? I quickly retracted my statement realizing YES! Heck yes. Ice cream is a every season dessert. The ultimate dessert. Especially when filled with caramel, cookie and brownie chunk goodness. To top it all off, because why not, a waffle cone leaves the perfect crunch at the end you need. AND if dairy ice cream isn't your jam, I HIGHLY recommend a raspberry sorbet with added graham crackers & gummy bears because it is the ultimate combo! The soft crunch of the cracker with the now hard chewy chunks of gummy bears is absolutely delicious. read more

Cold Stone Creamery - a cup of ice cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Fairbanks, Alaska

As much as I love Cold Stone, this location just isn't up to par. You're likely to be greeted by a bunch of gossiping and complaining teenagers behind the counter, who aren't shy about dropping the F bomb. Which doesn't bother me, but man does it seem tacky and unprofessional. The building is much too small and they only have two tables, so definitely plan on taking it to go, or sitting outside. We had an incident last April where my husband ran in to get three "like it" ice creams for us, and came back out with an overfilled, melted mess like nothing I've ever seen. He handed them to us, and ice cream was pouring out the sides and dripping all over our car interior. Surprisingly, it wasn't even warm outside. I asked him to run back in and ask for some extra napkins and cups, while I wrapped a plastic grocery bag around them to help contain it. He came back empty handed. After explaining what was happening, all they said was, "Sorry, we can't do that. Cups are expensive and that's how we keep inventory." It blew my mind that they couldn't make a note of three extra 10¢ cups being used for ice cream that they overfilled. But we ate what we could, and tossed out the rest when we got home. It didn't even look appetizing at that point. After contacting management about the horrible customer service, they mailed us a few free small ice cream coupons and with a note saying they hope we give them another chance. We finally did yesterday. Same great ice cream, same busy location, same disappointing service. Ironically, my ice cream was held by two cups stuck together. So much for their inventory, I guess? read more

I love the Coffee Lovers Only Ice Cream. I can't get enough of it! :) So good. :) I love to get the Everyone size....SO BIG! read more

While writing this review I'm sitting outside eating my half ass made ice cream breathing in smoke. Such a wonderful time to be in the great state of alaska I must say. But on a real note highly don't recommend ordering anything from this cold stone that has a picture. Looks nothing like it and tastes horrid. Boyfriend ordered the Oreo Cookie Confetti Cream and it was literally soup as soon as his was given it. Not a fan, and I think next time we will save the money and buy ice cream from Fred's. read more

You cant go wrong with cold stone. Came here with the fam - one of our orders got messed up so they remade it and gave is the messed up order for free. Yum! read more

Cold Stone Creamery - Delicious ice cream!! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Fairbanks, Alaska

people standing around like zombies. No one talking or waiting on customers. one man finished with one customer and just disappeared in the back. i left after no service for 15 mins read more

The staff in there was very unfriendly. As well as the cleanliness. The guy scratched his head before serving ice cream.

I love ice cream so for me to give an ice cream place a bad review hurts me a little. The kid working the counter really didn't seem like he wanted to be at work today. Didn't say anything to me when I walked up to order, and the only thing he said to me the entire time was "do you want a lid?'' The girl that rang me me was nice though. The ice cream. Well that was already completely melted by the time they gave it to me so what I had was more like cold soup. I won't be back. read more

The ice cream is really good and we love our birthday cake remix! However, the place is far too small and the wait is ridiculously long! There are so many people just squished in there. No one respects social distancing. Every other Cold Stone I've been to always greets you as you come in but this is the one exception. The staff is not very welcoming and hardly ever have smiles one their faces. read more

Shuts down their blenders 45 minutes before closing for "cleaning" so you cannot even get a shake that is ridiculous

The ice cream is incredible, hence the one star. The employees were unfriendly, in no hurry whatsoever and acted as if they did not want to be there at all. read more

I had never been to a Coldstone Creamery before, and I loved it. I'm not really an ice cream kind of person but that was the best ice cream I've ever had. I wish we had one in Humboldt county. read more

Cold Stone Creamery - My mom's red velvet ice cream cake, she loved it (: - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Fairbanks, Alaska

Cold stone Ice cream is amazing, it satisfies every time. It is very rich, so don't get to much. The price is a bit much, but I don't think that deters enough to reduce the place down from 5 stars. It becomes more price effective if you can share your ice cream with a spouse or loved one. read more

Craving for some sweetness head to Cold Stone Creamery. The portion is huge, I couldn't finish and I just got the medium size. I got french vanilla with chocolate chips . read more

If you've never been to a Cold Stone, you should definitely check it out. You can choose your own mix ins, or order off the menu. Prices are high, but worth it for a treat. The creations are sweet, very, very sweet. When I was in Jr. High I could devour a "Gotta Have It" size all by myself, but now even the "like it" size is almost too sweet. You could always share with a friend. They do have a smaller size for kids, so if you're a parent, that's a plus. Cold Stone has ice cream cakes, a classic, and ice cream cupcakes, too. The one in Fairbanks is the farthest north, so if you're an ice cream fan, you should check it out just to say you've done it! read more

This place is always an absolute pleasure. The ice cream is always amazing and they are always willing to give you a sample to make sure you are satisfied with your choice. The staff here is always so friendly and quick. Never had a bad experience here. read more

I have been to many cold stones and I was not impressed with this one, the decor was nice and it seemed clean, what I didn't like where the young kids behind the counter who where talking to each other when trying to listen to what we wanted to order, as we where looking at our options we felt very rushed to place our order.. Kids enjoyed there ice cream so that's what matters :) I am sure we will go back not a lot ice cream places around. read more

Cold Stone Creamery - people walking in front of the store - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Fairbanks, Alaska

Terrible service. Always someone in there with a rude attitude. AND they ran out of French Vanilla.

Employees here need to be taught what customer service is. And don't expect them to always have the flavors you want or are used to or that are advertised. read more

Boy oh boy, was this place a wild adventure. Cold stone usually has great service and great flavors but man does this place not meet the flipping standard. Upon arrival the establishment is hot and humid very uncomfortable to stand there and wait in line for 15 minutes, but to top it off the staff is usually some younger folks who need some attitude adjustments. After finally ordering I was given a light vanilla ice cream with a shortage of whatever toppings I ordered. I'm not sure if you've ever had light vanilla ice cream but this stuff is the bane of my existence. Who was the idiot who invented an ice cream flavor with no sugar? I was practically eating a cold ball of the blandest flour flavored dough you could find. After receiving my ice cream (I ordered a large because I'm an adult and I can do what I want, quit judging and mind your own business) I look at the dude behind me and this dude was given dude gets twice the amount I got. I don't know if I forgot to say please and thank you or if I was supposed to suck the dude off but I for sure did something wrong. The dude was definitely a different race then me so I'm calling racism. Was it really racism? Probably not but I'm upset so now it is. Ultimately I did not enjoy my experience but whatever it's just ice cream and life sucked before getting there. Fun fact: watched a girl pass out shortly after being handed her ice cream. Not sure what flavor she got but I'm still trying to find it. Was it really that good? Was it because of how bad it was? Was the order so wrong she fainted? Is their staff full of witches? Short answer, maybe. Long answer? Re read the review. In the end I'm probably still eating there again because Fairbanks doesn't have too much else to offer in the cold dessert department. read more

Good ice cream but because the inside is so small you can not eat there. So as long as you are ready to get ice cream to go and then have it melt all over you in the car I would suggest just getting some at the grocery store. read more

This place is usually busy and it's hard to know how the staff will handle the rush. Sometimes they are very quick and other times they are very unorganized behind the counter. Was truly disappointed last time we were in; there was the usual line of about 12 people and two people behind the counter. The "manager on duty" decided to have the other staff wasting time stocking items that WERE NOT low and that forced us to wait almost AN HOUR for something they have knocked out in 15 minutes before as only ONE person was working the line. Waste of time management, horrible at prioritizing staff, and this cost them severely as SEVERAL costumers walked out because the wait was utterly ridiculous!!! read more

Cold Stone Creamery; I have to smile just thinking about the place. It is a dream come true for ice-cream lovers. Imagine you are in line to enter heaven, and this is where you stop to get a treat while you wait. It is bright and clean, the smell of waffle cones and sweetness in the air. The staff is happy and will sing to you if you leave them a tip. They will mix real bananas and peanut butter together for you and then fold it into chocolate or vanilla ice cream or both if you like! The combinations are endless with choices like candies and fresh fruit! There are usually eight or ten choices of ice cream flavors available and it can be served in a waffle cone or waffle cone in a cup if you like. They have high quality fresh ice cream cakes and other goodies too. The ice cream is so good it is likely to get brain freeze more than once while eating it. The texture is so creamy and flavorful, you don't just get a hint of cheesecake from the cheesecake ice cream, you often get chunks of real cheesecake! It is an experience every couple in love and each and every child should have before the Zombie Apocalypse. read more

Incompetent employees with horrible products, would not recommend going to this location. Not worth the money for the service and product.

Great place but needs better managed. Under staffed and losing money. There is usually a line of customers waiting almost out the door. Today I watched 2 people turn and leave when they saw the wait time. My suggestion , have two people making ice cream and one dedicated to the cash register. Other than that its just a cold stone creamery , same good ice cream. read more
