Diana was so sweet and pretty quick given she was dealing with a line. Ice cream is yummy especially on a hot day :)

It was a hot day, so there was a line. everybody was patient, the line moved fairly quickly. We were served by Bre, she was very personable, kept up a lively conversation which i love, offered us sprinkles for free which we turned down but enjoyed hearing they were offered. Bre delivered an impressive experience for us!! read more

Came in on a 81degree day with my 2 boys. Long line as a result. Was impressed with a young lady by named Cynthia at the Lakewood Wa location. She was able to remember all are orders along with making each like it bowl quick. At the last minute I asked to add some peanut butter topping which wouldn't fit in my like bowl so she kindly got another bowl to place to replace the size difference. Good customer service overall' Sincerely, Anthony A. read more

Cold Stone Creamery - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Lakewood, Washington

Absolutely abysmal experience at this location. I came in with my fiancé on our anniversary to get a special treat. He happens to need things that are lower in sugar content and we tried to order a strawberry mango smoothie. The employee Jonah was absolutely unprofessional, he took our order and he asked if I wanted a lid for my ice cream and I said yes. When it came time for my fiancé to order he ordered a strawberry mango smoothie which we had just seen another customer have made by another employee. Jonah flat out refused to make the item saying that they could not and also did not give me a lid on my ice cream or a spoon when finished with payment. I had to ask for a lid and realized that I did not have a spoon at this point either and his attitude got even worse and more unprofessional. Both of us felt extremely uncomfortable with the way this employee was conducting himself and did not feel safe in this particular location at time of service. We will not be returning here anytime soon and corporate needs to take a real review of how this location is doing and do something about the customer service and quality control issues. Simply put our special anniversary date was ruined by the incompetence of an unhappy employee who did not want to serve customers. read more

This was the grossest ice cream shop ever,it all started out when we walked in and all the sudden I spotted a hair in the ice cream when we told them they said "ya we know. and then when we ordered the guys nose dripped in my ice cream!" he said I know .it was soo gross we left and didn't eat the ice cream read more

I came here during the summer on a nice, sunny day, so it was pretty busy. But staff was friendly, and they filled up my cup nicely, so it was a bit of a mess trying to put a lid on it. I got one of the Signature Creations, the Cookie Doughn't You Want It, which is what I usually get. Ice cream was tasty. read more

I truly do love cold stone ice cream. However, just not the day I visited. It was a hot day, so we were not surprised at the line or the wait. The team seemed a bit frazzled and disorganized. I had to repeat my order several times, and the waffle bowls seemed stale. It was super chewy and not crunchy at all. Very disappointing when you change extra for them. I'm not sure I'll rush back, but I hope that with more summer day, hot weather, and long lines, things are a little more organized, and the waffle bowls are fresh. read more

I love stopping by here every now and then for a sweet treat. I feel like compared to other ice cream shops in the area you get more for your buck here plus they offer coupons occasionally which is nice. I will say in the summer months it's very busy at times and sometimes during this time the ice cream is melting in the case slowly from the heat. After realizing this I just avoid coming here in the summer because it's more enjoyable and less crowded in the fall/winter/spring time. The employees are always nice here. There's a few tables inside and out if you want to enjoy your ice cream on site. read more

The food and service was terrible! I went all this way to get that birthday taco but they didn't have any! I am 1/16 Icelandic so I know how to Jude ice cream! And the whole store was horrible! It's too cold in here! I got mint ice cream though. That was good. read more

Cold Stone Creamery - Mint ice cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Lakewood, Washington

First of all, this is the first time I have ever tried cold stone (at the recommendation of my sister). It was a pretty awful experience. We went in to take it to go. We were in line for 36 minutes before our order was taken (obviously this place is under staffed). They were out of drinks (even water), they had no milk, so they couldn't do milkshakes. They were out of 8 of the flavors in the case (leaving only a few). Then, I went to order a strawberry with strawberries and they were out of strawberries. I'm super happy for the success of this place, but if this is the standard of experience, I will probably not give it a second chance for Me and my family. We saw probably 15 people come in and leave due to how long the lines were. read more

It's been years since I've stepped inside a cold stone creamery but I was with my cousin in the Lakewood Town Center who would not stop talking about how badly she wanted ice cream so here I am. There's positives to Cold Stone like fun and different flavors! Being a chocolate lover, I enjoy birthday cake remix (with gummy bears added obviously) and German chocolate cake. Yummy yummy! The ice cream is generally pretty good... smooth and rich in flavor and I am always fascinated watching them make it right in front of me like a little girl would be. There's definitely things they need to work on though, like their floors. I really am kicking myself now that I didn't take a picture of what it looks like under the tables cause their floors are DIRRTTTTAYYY AF and covered with trash. Ewww! Some of the employees are awesome, but others look at you like they'd rather be ANYWHERE else in the world. Not sure when they got rid of the singing when you tip cause I tipped and they certainly didn't sing for me. Which is whatever.. they definitely didn't look like a group that would put on a great show but I was still ready to listen and possibly join in cause I'm a karaoke queen! I guess they can't pay them enough to embarrass themselves anymore... what a pity! Even though I do enjoy certain flavor creations of ice cream they have, they haven't really updated their menu in many many years. It would be nice to put a new hip flavor on the menu that isn't something that's just going to be around for a very limited time before it leaves to possibly never be seen again. Like maybe a flavor that's like emulsified glazed donuts, forgotten wedding cake pieces, caramel and cinnamon laced with sarcasm drizzled a top breast milk flavored iced cream surrounded by a void of vanilla frosting crushed into a bed of lost feelings called "longing and regret" or better yet: one that's made with milk that's left to soak in fruit loops cereal for two weeks, covered with unethically sourced sour children gummies, that they then serve to you in a whimsical inedible cone made of deconstructed peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. They can call that one the "Child Cereal Killer" ...just a thought. I have so many ideas like that.. they'd be smart to hire me to revamp their menu, infuse some more life into this dreary ice cream parlor with the power of music to ensure the place doesn't become Cold Stone Cemetery (although that could work well with another flavor idea of mine involving blue velvet cake pieces, dark chocolate coffins, white chocolate tombstones and a blood-red raspberry swirl drizzled in tears of your grieving loved ones called "Death by Cold Stone" but more on that later cause my first order of business is to introduce them to my buddy Swiffer). Business will be booming then, mark my words ! Until then, this place is heading towards a Rocky Road :/ read more

I'm just such a big coldstone fan because I mean who doesn't love ice cream?! But their ice cream always tastes so fresh and is worth the prices they charge plus you always leave here feeling happier than when you came in. I love this location, they're fast, efficient and always provide good service here. We come here for all the kiddos birthday cakes as well and they always exceed our expectations and price is unbeatable for what you get with the cakes. read more

When we visited this location, we were highly disappointed. The employees were friendly, but they were out of vanilla ice cream, so we had to substitute other flavors. They were also out of gummy bears, marshmallows, and m&ms. Basically every topping that my son wanted, they were out of. If you can't properly stock your ingredients, you should probably just close your doors. read more

I was excited to try a new Ice cream spot close by. Unfortunately, it was terrible. The atmosphere was filthy, flies ruined it for me, that and the fact we went for the minion ice cream which the window advertisement screamed was inside was sold out. We decided on a waffle cone, which was chewy and inedible. It was so stale that we could not consume it & my son will eat anything!! We attempted to sit outside since the tables were sticky and dirty but the outdoor bench looked like it had been barfed on, the whole experience was gross. Did not finish and went to our normal spot. Waste of money. read more

Fucking love this place, it's the best, awesome, tubular ice cream, saucy beats, cool employees, bright environment.

A little pricey but very tasty! I don't eat a lot of sweets, but on a hot day, I gotta have Ice Cream! This place is clean, cool, spacious and we were greeted by two very friendly polite young lady's! Wonderful customer service and the Ice Cream was delicious! I tried the French Vanilla mixed with Chocolate brownie batter, topped with marshmallows and KitKat!!! Yum! read more

0 stars. Customer service was very awful. They said they weren't making shakes because it was too late to make shakes, but we arrived during business hours. The workers were also too lazy to mix the ice cream and toppings. We had Oreo toppings and they were barely chopped in half and mixed into the ice cream. The third worker was cleaning and spraying cleaning sprays around the ice cream while we were waiting for our ice cream and the store wasn't even closed yet, but I guess as a customer I should be happy they're finally cleaning up, there was a pile of dust and rubbish right in front of the check out. . Even though our worker seemed to be in a rush and less than enthusiastic to be serving us and the other gentleman was spraying cleaners while they were still serving ice cream, they weren't mean in any way, so I wouldn't even have wrote this review, but then another worker (a female), told us to leave because it was 10:30, when told by her co-workers that that was rude, she responded that she knew she was being rude. . Ambiance = poor. Consider hiring people that care about their work. read more

Rude ass ignorant people working behind the counters. They tried to short us an ice cream. Even tried to ARGUE with us over it. They said they made "too much" and then when we told them to go ahead and separate it and prove that's it's enough for two people, yeah....it WAS NOT. Fucking ignorant. It wasn't even busy in there I've had better milk shakes at Jack in the crack. read more

Will never come back here . As soon as I walked in the employee had a bad attitude. I ordered a Gotta Have it and once I got home, I realized she made me a Like It and put it in a Love it cup AND THEN put that in a Gotta Have it cup?? Don't understand what her issue was as I was super friendly with her. read more

I mean what a show of cross contamination and horrible service. I literally saw the employee scoop with one type of ice cream being scooped and a different kind being scooped at the same time with the same spoon. The place was busy but the employees did not seem to be able to handle it. They were flustered and constantly making mistakes. It's disappointing to see as this creamery has a great product to offer. Also the singing!! Please make it stop no one gets paid enough for that! read more

I'm a die hard coffee ice cream kind of gal! I love the flavor, add in a little bit of chocolate and peanut butter and I'm sold. I love an extra crunch in my ice cream as well so the Mud Pie Mojo is my go to. The atmosphere was very chill - vibes and temperature. Staff was quick and efficient as five of us came in and another family followed. A great location for all ages and when you tip you get to hear a special jingle. I didn't check out the bathrooms but the seating area inside was thoroughly cleaned and organized. FYI- this was pre COVID-19 lockdown so indoor seating was allowed!

We visited on a weekday afternoon and they had signs saying they were out of many things. Customer service was on point for all of our orders and the line moved very fast. No complaints. I wish they had a few things in stock including napkins, but I totally understand shipping delays. We will return and hope they have the things to make some of the combos we wanted originally! read more

I'm very disappointed in the failed attempt and an Oreo cookie birthday came. It was more like a vanilla cake with a few Oreo pieces. Paying $50 for this!!! Safeway has the exact same cake and taste exactly the same and actually has Oreo cookie Ice cream. WHat a rip off read more

This is the 2nd time, our family has visited and am really disappointed in the cleanliness and hygiene. The workers do not tie their hair and some have long finger nails that touched the waffle cone when they were scooping their ice cream. They touch their hair to move it out of the way and continue to serve customers. What is the point of a food handler's card!?! We went today, Memorial Day, and they had a container they grabbed the waffle cones out of. Both my nieces had stale waffle cones. For service and price, we are very disappointed. We will not be back! read more

Apparently I'm not the only one with this experience but the service here is horrible one of the worst places to go get attended if the girl employees there do not want to work then quit! They have horrible attitude and once I came in 30 minutes before the closing time and there was this girl closing a whole 30 minutes early! She was on her phone and did not care I drove 20 minutes to get there and get my family an ice cream I would never come back here as they have no customer service on many occasions choose a different cold stone location as this one will close up to 30 minutes before listed closing time. read more

Quite literally the worst Cold Stone I have ever seen. I have been there four times in the past few weeks as I am pregnant and have cravings. I have only wanted a milkshake. Nothing crazy. The first time they are out of milk. No problem. I go back a second time; they are out of all their cups. I go a third time; their blenders aren't working. And then again for the last time I tried, and again, their blenders were not working. The store is always a mess with waffle cone mix everywhere, and the staff is rude. I just want a milkshake. read more

Waited 5 minutes. 2 employees were finishing, one employee left, the other employee, was making a cake in back, another guy says help you in a minute. A minute means longer here. I'm not gonna wait another 5 minutes. Then one people is left to finish. This has to be a California company. Welcome to Washington! I should of went to Dairy Queen. read more

Normally I don't leave a bad review over a single screwed-up order, but this one very nearly sent me to the hospital, so here we are. I ordered a graham cracker crust vanilla bowl, and what I received was a dish with oreo cookies and peanut butter in it. I'm allergic to peanuts. Even though I threw the order out after the first bite, my throat and the inside of my mouth became inflamed. I have a MILD allergy and this happened. There was no way to tell the order had peanut products in it (we had it delivered), so this f*ckup could have LITERALLY KILLED SOMEONE. Not risking going back there again. read more

So me and bf parked right at 9:18pm and we saw one of the workers turn off the open sign and we walked up right after she did that. There's also just one couple waiting to order, and the same girl tells us "oh we're done taking orders" So my bf says "oh well we came here before you turned off the open sign" and she just says "Sorry". But they close at 9:30...... like you guys really couldn't just take us? To me that was just a little too early to really call it, and it was just the two of us like. This is the second time this is done to us and last time it was 9:15. But if that's how it is that they stop making orders then Coldstone should say they close at 9:15pm, honestly. read more

First time as this location. We had just had lunch next door at the L&L Hawaiian BBQ and was craving dessert and ice cream from Cold Stone sounded perfect! There were two employees behind the counter when we arrived. We were second in line behind a guy and his two kids. One of the employees was assisting them and the other employee was busy packing a large order for which I assumed was for a pick-up from a food-app such Door Dash or Postmates because she would not make eye contact with anyone over the counter. It took almost 10 minutes from the time we arrived for our turn and by then the line had grown by a few more people. Loved the ice cream, but slow service. read more

I always order an Oreo overload. Description and picture it shows and says they put whole Oreos in it. I've gone in 2 times and it's been extremely busy and I ordered and they end up just putting crumble in it no actual Oreos. So this time I called ahead and said that I would like whole Oreos in it. I ordered a pint and there was probably 2 Oreos in the whole thing. It's called OREO OVERLOAD so just put a good amount of Oreo in it it's that simple ur paying 12 bucks for ice cream put Oreos in it just annoying read more

Definitely a treat to visit Cold Stone! It was quite busy with only 3 employees. Despite the business, the employees were friendly & professional! And the Specialty Icecream that was prepared was delicious. Our only complaint was the patio furniture outside...they were filthy and needed to badly be hosed down! read more

Cold Stone Creamery - Berries & Cheesecake - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Lakewood, Washington

Not sure if I'm just being picky or not but, I ordered cookie dough ice cream with cookie dough mix-in and as soon as I got it - it was completely melting and spilling over the edges. I took a bite and it was almost not even cold.. I asked for a replacement and they were very nice and made me another one out of a different base (sweet cream) but this one was also melting and not very cold. My wife got the cheesecake ice cream which was actually still somewhat cold and stiff - but I gotta say, each of the 3 ice cream flavors were overly sweet and just not good in general. The cookie dough just tasted cheap and like it had no depth or quality of the flavor. Same with the cheesecake and sweet cream flavors. The customer service was very nice but either my taste has gone up or it's just not as good as when I was a kid. It's just some of the worst ice cream I've had in a while and I've tried every creamery in Tacoma. Not to mention them serving it at almost room temperature. read more

I've been here before but today was a different experience..... Staff not really friendly and it wasn't as if it was busy... Ran out of Mix I appreciate the thank you for the tip from the young lady (Ari) who didn't even service us.... (is it me or do they usually sing ) That might have helped the situation SOME.... I'll Be back but only because it's cold stone and I KNOW THIS IS NOT THE STANDARD!!!!!! read more

I've had one good experience at this location, in July for my birthday. However, our most recent experience here was BEYOND disappointing -- poor customer service, items being left out of our order, poorly made ice cream, and pieces of paper in food items. We ordered online and, 10 minutes after ordering, we receive a call stating that they are out of one of the ingredients my brother ordered. This isn't a big deal in and of itself, but in the grand scheme of things with this experience, it only adds to our frustration. They didn't offer an alternative or proactively try to fix the mix-up. We didn't order too late in the day, either, so I do have to wonder if the lack of peanut butter cups is an organization mishap. We showed up 5 minutes late to pick our order up. Upon walking in, my husband was told he showed up to the wrong Cold Stone location because they didn't have his order. My husband was like "No..? I placed my order for this location." I'm sitting in the car waiting, so he calls me confused. I tell him we definitely ordered from that location and have proof in the form of his email receipt, so the Cold Stone worker calls someone from the back and more staff come out to help find our order. Low and behold, after a fiasco, our order is found. My husband brings our order bag out to the car, and as we're driving away, I open the bag just to make sure everything is there. Shocker -- one of our three items is missing. My husband angrily drives back to the Cold Stone and heads back inside to figure out where his shake is. Apparently they "forgot to make it." We get home and I realize one of the main ingredients in my ice-cream is totally missing. Unfortunately, this made my dessert surprisingly lack-luster -- I typically love Cold Stone (and often find the smallest size too rich to finish, which is a good thing), but this time it was the equivalent of a poorly made McDonalds McFlurry. It seems to me it was made as lazily as humanly possible. I try my very best to have grace and patience for food service workers because you never know who is brand new to the job or having a bad day...but, as my husband pointed out, it cannot be that hard to make an ounce or two of ice cream with 3 simple mix-ins, especially when you can print out the order and refer to it as you're making the food..? To make matters worse, I ended up finding a piece of paper or cardboard in the bottom of my ice cream. It isn't coconut -- I literally can't break whatever it is with my fingers. It might as well be plastic...it literally reminds me of skin and I would NOT have eaten the ice cream if I had found it earlier. *insert puking emoji* *insert crying emoji* Usually I love Cold Stone, but this time I obviously turned to my husband and said "Next time, let's just go to Safeway and get ice cream from the frozen section." I truly don't know if I intend to ever order from this location again, and I will definitely tell friends to stay away. Most disappointing and nasty Cold Stone experience I've ever had, truly. read more
