    Cookie Dough flavor with chocolate chip topping in a waffle cone
    Steph T.

    The few times I have been here I noticed the service keeps getting worse and worse. Last time I was here the music was on so loud I could barely hear what the employee was saying. Today I came back and they were out of cones. In the employees defense, they offered a waffle cup instead and didn't charge me extra, which was nice of them. But, it's strange to me to have an ice cream shop and not have cones. I took off two stars. The waffle cup was delicious and so was the ice cream. I ordered cookie dough ice cream with chocolate chip topping. One topping is free. I'm more of a frozen yogurt fan TBH.

    Late night Calorie Bomb My favorite flavor is Red Velvet Cheesecake one is a bit sour, very close to the original flavor. The service is good.

    We were here on a Saturday night around 9pm. Service was quick. Can't really complain or say much about it. The place looks clean. Wish we can sit inside. Their chocolate devation is delicious!

    Updated review. Bad customer service. There was one customer being rung up. I was the only one waiting. They saw me coming in. No acknowledgement. I was behind the guy social distancing too. Customer just walks in. They tell me to wait and they serve him. WTF??? Two staff behind the counter. The other staff was just putting stuff away. Totally ignored me. I save my money and go elsewhere. Not worth it coming here. Posting updated review. Take your money elsewhere.

    My favorite ice cream place nearby. I love strawberry and mint. They have different options of flavors and make it right in front of you.

    Coffee Ice Cream, Heath Bars, Caramel, and Almonds!

    My friend was craving cold stone ice cream so she decided to place an order via the GrubHub app. Unfortunately the GrubHub app did not allow us to add all the toppings that we wanted on our ice cream. We decided to call the Cold Stone Creamery to see if the items could be added over the phone since the order was already placed. The employee informed us that our additional toppings were not added and that she could not add any missing toppings over the phone. She also stated that she could only add the toppings that we paid for via GrubHub. My friend wanted to cancel the order over the phone but I'm not sure if the employee understood that the order should be canceled. She didn't cancel the order. I called back to cancel the order, I asked the young lady if she needed my name to cancel the order. Instead of saying yes or no she just hung up the phone. Two minutes later my friend received a text message on her phone saying that the order was canceled. Never again!

    Located right next to St johns University, this place is always busy. I love ice cream and this is one of the best place to get your ice cream craving satisfied :) The staff here are students from the university, maybe not all but some are. They make the icecream nicely and always end up giving you a size up version of the flavor you requested which I don't mind one bit. The parking can be a hassle but if your coming with someone else, you can have them wait on the car and get it without risking a ticket from traffic agent. They also have cakes which you can buy and shakes but I never really tried it so can't comment on that but this is a place to go to for all your ice cream needs/craving :)

    I like going to Cold Stones. The ice cream is good and its pretty consistent. Usually there is a line though and depending on the servers, how quick the lines move. Also depends on the customers too. You pretty much have enough time to decide before the server gets to you. There are shakes, smoothies, and of course the ice cream. There are a bunch of different options like Strawberry Blonde, Oreo Overload, a Peanut Butter one, Carmel one and a few more. You can also create your own flavors. You can also add extras like peanut butter cups, nestle crunch bars, sprinkles, etc. You have to pay for the extra toppings. The Gotta Have It size which is large, is pretty big though. The lines moved pretty quickly here when I was here and it was a big line. Parking is metered and can be tough depending on time of day.

    I came here a couple of times. The first time was good but the staff member forgot to add rainbow sprinkles when I asked for them. The second time, I received melted ice cream...it looked like a smoothie in my cone. They have a decent variety of ice cream flavors and the small size (although pretty huge to me) comes with one flavor of ice cream and one mix in. The staff seem to work well together. They're able to remember codes on the POS, take customers orders efficiently, and enforce the five person limit in the store. For $10 a cone and after receiving melted ice cream, I don't think I will revisit. The ice cream did not taste extraordinary for me to consider making another trip to this location.

    I ordered a custom cake. Upon picking it up, I was told "oh crap, I knew I forgot to do something today...give me 10 minutes!" She proceeded inside to decorate it. Which is fine, 10 minutes wait wasn't a big deal. When she handed me the cake she said "this cake is melting, make sure you put it in the freezer right away." I got nervous so I put it inside my car's insulated freezer pack even though the drive home was only 10 minutes on a cool day. When I got home, I took the cake out, and it was completely melted. There goes my daughter's second birthday cake.

    There was never a time I visited this cold stone and they met expectations. I purchased a birthday cake from here and it was OLD. How do I know? Because the cake was FROZEN HARD, the red velvet inside was dry and tasted like sand. The cake was so frozen that there was snow on it! There's nothing more upsetting than setting yourself up to eat something good and wind up being disappointed.

    The experience I had here this evening was beyond unacceptable. Just went there for a nice treat. I am pregnant and it's my birthday the young man served us. He wore clear glasses. Had an extreme attitude like he didnt want to be there me asking him for toppings was annoying him he was slamming everything when we arrived home which is 5 minutes away there was ice cream all over the bag from him not sealing the ice cream correctly.

    Say how much for a small cup of ice cream....$9.49

However, the staff were also super warm and accommodating, and the quality of the items we got (gluten free vanilla and chocolate cupcakes) was great. The actual cake bases of both types were moist and flavorful. I could've gone with a little less frosting and more cake, but it made for a very aesthetically pleasing topping with the vibrant colors, sprinkles, and glitter. I kept getting strong hints of rose flavor from the pink frosting on the chocolate cupcakes so I'm not sure if they infused it with that. Overall, a great little spot, and really a savior for procrastinators looking for sweet goodies to take to a gathering when other last-minute ideas fall through!

To start, they "brownies" are not actual brownies. They are individual slices of cake. I didn't notice this 2 years ago but having it again last night, the Cadbury brownie tastes like a layered sheet cake made from box mix. The frosting on top wasn't too sweet, but certainly doesn't carry the richness of Cadbury chocolate. In a slice this simple, there's really no place to hide and paying that much for something that taste like it was battered out a box is not worth it in my opinion. The Dubai chocolate slice tasted better, but tbh, the Dubai chocolate cake from Costco not only tastes better but has a better price point! I was really excited to try their ice cream - I loved their flavor choices, but that's where my fondness pretty much stopped. The pints were pricey and taste super home made (not in a good way). The ice cream was hard and while it tasted like sweet cream, it was definitely not churned enough to carry a smooth texture. They pints were Van Leeuwen prices but the taste and texture was far from quality ice cream. In this case, I much rather pick up a pint of Hagen Daz, again much better price point and better quantity. The store is pretty but I won't be returning.

    Located on one fo the sleepiest corners along Ditmars, Layers Bakeshop has made a name for itself…read morefor being one of the only late night dessert options in Astoria. Folks who are looking to satisfy their sweet tooth can score a cupcake, pastries and all of the above until midnight every night. While they utilize the natural lighting during the daytime, the evening is drowned out by this florescent lighting that makes me less interested in dining in. There is plenty of seating but just as awkward as the lighting is also the lukewarm service. It was like a late trip to the office, where the lighting was still on and not-so-theolled colleagues there to greet us. Thankfully their dessert selection is always on point. Their endless variety of cupcakes range from red velvet to biscoff and their custom cakes are impressive as well. True to their name, the "layered" sundaes are a perfect "dessert in a cup" option. Nutella and lotus are popular ones but the galaxy is the one to get. I've been told the brownies and donuts are also good, but I will reserve that for my next (late night) visit.

    A friend ordered assorted cupcakes for delivery for a holiday get together, and in the spirit of…read morethe season we cut up each cupcake and shared so we each got to try several different flavors. There were 12 different cupcakes, almost the entire cupcake assortment. Visually they are mostly similar though maybe not the most aesthetically appealing with a single swirl of frosting and some messy zigzags or cookie crumbs on top. They definitely tasted better than they looked. Inside the cake crumb was moist and the frosting on top was fluffy and super smooth. Even as someone who's not a huge fan of frosting, the texture was so creamy and light that I ate most of it! Added comments for the ones I tried: - salted caramel : could taste the salted caramel clearly in the frosting, less in the cake - key lime : lime/citrus flavor wasn't very strong on this - red velvet : heard this was pretty standard - ferrero rocher : super rich and tasty - milk chocolate : also good, not sure if I clearly tasted milk chocolate here as compared to the other chocolate flavors - oreo cookie : both frosting and cake together was a little too sweet for me overall, though chocolate cake was good - swiss dark chocolate - more of a dark cocoa flavor and not as sweet - belgian malt chocolate - carrot cake - chocolate cream cheese - lotus bischoff - rafaello These were a hit and everyone at the party enjoyed them. At $3.50 per cupcake this wasn't too bad for single serving desserts, compared to some other places today, for the overall quality I'd order these myself next time! No issues with delivery either, it took about 45 minutes for cupcakes to arrive (the delivery location was about 20 minutes away driving from the host's home).
