Saud is very helpful ! Great ice cream Lemon cake batter is so good surprisingly and he custom made it and was so sweet! Thank you cold stones. read more

This is the best cold stone ever. They always give a fair portion and mix it perfectly. Some cold stones throw it in the cup askew, but this location puts a little TLC into your ice cream. Plus their late hours are nice. read more

I love Cold Stone. I don't come very often here for ice cream, but when I do, its always a good experience. Wonderful location to have ice cream. I went for the Oreo Cookie ice cream in a large cup. I enjoyed it. Service was good. Just fresh daily ice cream. read more

Really ?! I got a small and a medium for my wife & me and payed almost 24$ without tip for some melting strawberry ice which was like milk shake consistence with cookie crumbles and maybe some caramel. It looked horrible and has nothing to do with "cold stone creamery" ! I ordered this upper one and got that from the second picture ! Come on guys - for something like that ? Never ever again, sorry ! read more

COLDSTONE CREAMERY is a very popular ice cream and gelato parlor just steps from the beach AT Washington Square (36 Washington Blvd) and the number is (310) 823-2464. This was the first time in a long time I have been to the place and my friend's daughter wanted some ice cream and she had a medium cup, two big scoops of Coffee and Chocolate with Marshmallows. With Tax the price was $8.76 and the help while few are very nice. They do have a Rewards program online, but I like when you have a card to hand them. RECOMMEND! read more

The ice cream is amazing!!! I had the vanilla light with berries and it was delicious. Aiden was super nice and really helpful. He made sure everything was right even though they were really busy. Will definitely be coming back. read more

They don't honor coupons that say for "Southern California locations" even though they knew exactly which coupon was out at that moment for customers and they are higher priced than other cold stone locations. There's a reason this location is always empty. read more

Buyers beware I do not know why they call this cold stone ice cream when they should call it warm stone ice cream. This scoop of ice cream costed me $10 and it is half melted as soon as I walked out of the store. Think the idiots at the counter should actually use the stone to actually make the ice cream colder than some crap half melted scoops they throw together and put it in a cup for you. This thing has melting all over my clothes. Don't even bother going there. read more

Cold Stone Creamery - Half melted ice cream. This is what they serve you for $10 - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Marina del Rey, California

It's summer and time to go back to Cold Stone and have great ice cream. Cold Stone in Venice is my favorite one. It is right on Washington Blvd. near the beach. Just park and walk. The whole area is fun to walk and on the corner is Cold Stone to reward you for walking a block. They are open most nights until 10 pm which is great for after dinner. They are also open 7 days a week, so you won't miss out. They make your cone for you by taking your ice cream and, well, smashing it and adding whatever toppings you may want. I always have my grandson get his in a cup so I don't end up wearing part of the cone. They have so many toppings that it is hard to get it all in one cone. They have so many flavors of ice cream and you will just love it. The service is always friendly and fast. It is a great start or end to a day at the beach. read more

I'm not a fan of Cold Stone. The ice cream itself is OK ... not premium. And I'm not into "blend-ins" to create or enhance flavor. The ice cream cakes here are fine. read more

This place was a huge disappointment. I walked inside and it is completely empty except the worker and myself, yet for some reason it's a very silent and awkward 3 solid minutes before she acknowledged me to take my order. At first I thought it was strange there was no prices on the menu. I ordered a small Brookie mixed ice cream. The lady made it quick, not on the stone so it came out super melty and then charged me $9! For a small that was melty and the brownie and cookie dough weren't even mixed much at all. No wonder this place is always dead empty and covered in graffiti. Stay away, stay far away, you have so many other eateries by Venice pier you should not give this place any of your money. I highly recommend avoiding this place unless you are starving and there are no other options as there is no need for you to be ripped off and ignored by rude staff. read more

I've been here few times already. Ice cream is delicious. Highly recommend it! P.s. even if you order small size, it's huge! read more

F***k this place. $8.89 for 1 small scoop of vanilla that isn't even good. Only went bc it was the only place near by. They really should just close it down & put in a locally owned shop. read more

The ice cream is alright. The service was pretty good. The thing that made me give this a 3 star rating is the writing on the front window I could not tell if it was graffiti or not. Other then that is was alright. read more

My friend and I came here after having sushi down the road. I'm big on having something a little sweet after salty. I try to keep it healthy when I can but luckily they had some sorbet flavors and a berry yogurt flavor, which I got. I asked for the kids size and added berries and dark chocolate. It was the perfect size because - just a nice little taste of something sweet. The girl helping me was super nice and friendly. read more

Who doesn't love a cone or two from Cold Stone? Whether you like it, love it or gotta have it, you will definitely be satisfied here. My go to special is the Apple Pie a la Cold Stone with the apple pie filling replaced with Oreos. Mmmmmmm. You gotta keep the graham crackers though. Try it. Thank me later. read more

The Ice Cream was really good, and it was a good desert after a dinner I just had at Pier House across the street. There are only a few things that are not: 1) You can only sample two flavors, so you have to be wise like Yoda from Star Wars and pick the right ones. 2) They use plastic sample spoons, and we all know that I do not like plastic sample spoons. 3) They are not allowing their employees to wear sweatshirts, only short sleeves, and its freaking freezing inside ! read more

THEY STEAL YOUR MONEY HERE!!! I asked for a receipt from Diego because my ice cream came up to over $25 and I got the small with only 1 topping. He grabbed BOTH receipts with the items list and threw it away but gave me the receipt with the total amount on it. I couldn't see why it was so expensive?!?!? I paid it anyway but I won't be coming back. FRAUD!!! THEY OVERCHARGE YOU AND DONT GIVE YOU THE RECEIPT. read more

I've been to this location several times and the last 2 times had the pleasure of having Jorge, who is an artist, serve me. He's very creative and matches flavors well as well as seems like he really cares about his work. I know that may sound dumb but it's true. He took my ideas and with them, concocted a "love it" size which was just perfect. It was an Oreos and Creme base with a brownie, plus some other ingredients sprinkled in that all together made heaven. I mean I honestly never got into cold stone before despite having been several times. I guess I just never got what I needed. But I tell you, now I'm a fan. Thanks Jorge. read more

I ordered the banana crunch with waffle cone. $17.35. When i tipped 2.65 to make it $20 i checked my receipt i showed $22'56. Makes no sense to me and when I confronted the staff they were very happy to return my money. Seems like a scam to me. Just check you receipts when you go here!! read more

I posted review and removed since. But had to do with the fact that they use Non-dairy whipped cream. I took it down because manager made a valid argument regarding use of above. That some of their customers need nondairy option. Well I've been asking every person that's vegan or lactose intolerant, not one of them has ever ventured into a place called Creamery of Cold Stone Creamery seeking a non dairy option. Hell the whole joint revolves around cream. So it's back on. They charge for whipped cream. Must be huge margin on fake whipped cream , only explanation. I'm calling Booya on CSC. for excuse. Get real whipped cream. read more

The crew of young kids were very friendly and helpful. This location could definitely use more plant based options. The price for add it toppings is pretty expensive. read more

$84 for an ice cream cake. No way ! For common chain like cold stone that is very very expensive. And offputting as well.

Cold Stone Creamery was king of creams about 15 years ago, but now, much like Stone Cold Steve Austin, it's kind of forgotten. This is the era of Frozen Yogurt, exotic Ice Creams, and Shaved Snow, so, going into a Cold Stone Creamery has become a rare occurrence for me. God, how I used to love Cold Stone. Fat Free Sweet Cream with Raspberries and Almonds is my favorite Cold Stone Creamery creation. Walking from the beach and feeling nostalgic, I decided to stop in this small ice cream shop and relive some fond flavors with my favorite. Sadly, they were out of Raspberries and Blackberries. I ended up getting Butterfinger instead, but it wasn't what I had my heart set on. Anyhoo, the Sweet Cream was still sweet and the fun of having a guy mash up my own mix was as cool as ever. I was the only customer and he looked bored, but I got no complaints about the service. I think I'd feel the same way on slow night at Cold Stone Creamery. read more

What could epitomize the Southern California lifestyle more than a day at the beach? Sun, sand, surfing, beach volleyball, riding the roller coaster on the pier, or a stroll or ride down the bike path? And what could be a better way to cool down after a day at the beach that with an icy cold sweet treat? This Cold Stone Creamery, on the corner of Pacific Ave and W Washington Blvd, a mere block off the Ocean Front Walk where my boyfriend and I were riding our rented Pedego electric bikes, offered the perfect solution to our dilemma of how to beat the heat. This place is beyond tiny, but nobody seems to mind. There are five tables crammed onto the sidewalk out front that are meant to seat 2 people at each. That's it. And pretty much every seat is taken on this sizzling summer Saturday afternoon. Cold Stone Creamery approaches the sale of ice cream a little differently than many of their competitors. They start with only about 20 flavors, but then encourage you to add mix ins (nuts, fuit, candy, cakes & cookies) to create what they refer to as signature flavors. The base is a scoop of your favorite ice cream which is placed on a frozen granite stone, and sprinkled your favorite mix-ins and blended together as you watch. The flavor is freshly blended one portion at a time, and you can tell the difference in the taste. The stone keeps the ice cream from melting during the mixing process. You can choose your own combinations or choose one of their 20 signature flavors such as Strawberry Banana Rendezvous or Loaded Peanut Butter Batter. Mmmm... Their ice cream creations come in three sizes Like It (5 oz), Love It (8 oz), Gotta Have it (12 oz). You can get them in bowls, cones, waffle cones, and chocolate dipped waffle cones. And for the health conscious there are some lower calorie options, referred to as their 'sinless' options which dramatically reduce your calorie and fat content. Cold Stone also carries a variety of novelty items such as smoothies (sinless or lifestyle), ice cream cakes, and ice cream cupcakes. On this particular visit, the boyfriend chose the Cheesecake Fantasy which starts with the cheesecake ice cream and adds the mix-ins graham cracker pie crust, blueberries, and strawberries. It's sweet and fruity and perfectly fits that California fresh and fantastic feel, the perfect apres-beach treat. My choice was heavily influenced by the brightly colored promotional signage advertising a new flavor, the Berry Paradise Crunch, which starts with a hibiscus sortbet (who could resist that? not me!) and layers on a double dose of berry granola and sweet and juicy fresh raspberries. Seriously? How could I NOT try this sweet summary treat? Every bite was a little taste of heaven. Pure heaven. My mouth is watering just writing this review about it. Great... now I'm going to have to fit a trip to Cold Stone into my already busy schedule today. In any other location, the tiny size of the store and the lack of seating in which to enjoy your frozen delicacy would be a serious detriment to the whole experience but in this location it works. People want to get in and get out with their dessert and continue on their way. We have things to do and places to go. This is merely a temporary way station, a means to an end, a place to get our goodies and go. Gotta go! read more

Hard to get to, since it's right near the end of Washington.. but it's a nice treat to get after eating at C&O across the street. I can't complain since they have my favorite signature creation, "How do you Roll". read more

Dear Cold Stone, I know I come here once every couple of weeks since we live two blocks away. I know that your creations are very pricey. I know that some nights, like tonight, I will have to stand in a long line to get my ice cream. But here's the thing: I had been waiting all day long, looking forward to my standard creation. Only tonight, I noticed that it tasted odd. Kind of a sour taste almost. That's when I remembered that the girl whose treat was made right before mine, was made with raspberry sorbet. That's it, what I tasted in every bite. The raspberry didn't go well with mine. Yuck. I ended up tossing half of it. Please please please, clean the stone after each use! Sincerely, Cheryl N. read more

Friendly and quick service. Luckily I found metered parking, and I got my ice cream within like 5 minutes. The Like It size was filling for me. This isn't on the menu anymore but my go-to flavor is Rocky Road Trip (basically just Rocky Road). The tropical smoothies are good here too. read more

Horrible service, then they ask for a tip. SMH. Save you money and buy an ice cream from the liquor store next door.

On vacation in my favoritest state on earth me and my two friends were relaxing in front of Coldstone waiting for another friend of ours to meet up with us. We ran into Dr. Geek!! lol he rapped to us which was awesome. Pure hilarious! After he left and everyone was finished laughing we headed in side to get a lite snack lol Funny right? A light snack at Cold Stone!! We decided we'd get those little ice cream cookie sandwiches that come 4 in a pack. Oreo of course. It was pretty early and they were barely open but the guy that works there was totally okay with helping us. We took forever to decide what we wanted and he was patient and friendly. Definitely a sweetheart I just think everyone in Cali is wodnerful. After our day at the beach we stopped in and said hello again. He remembered us...or atleast did a damn good job of pretending he did. That's good enough for me. read more

HUGE shout out to THIS location of Cold Stone. I have a definite addiction to the Peanut Butter Perfection and customize it every time. Yes, I am high maintenance about my food and I pay an insane (truly) amount for my ice cream orders. Ashley and Alexis are the BOMB. They always make it just right and if it doesn't get done right (because, hello, they are SO BUSY), they always make sure the fix it. THANKS all. You are my new (and only) sugar drug dealer! Keep it coming!! read more

"Do you have mint chocolate chip ice cream?" "Well, we have mint ice cream and we can mix in the chocolate chips. It's kinda the whole point of what we do here." "Oh... right." "Don't worry, we get that question all the time." Too funny. The girl helping us was friendly and hilarious and mixed up a yummy nonfat Sweet Cream with bananas and Oreo crumbs for me. A great way to end a long, fun day of beach and geocaching in Venice! read more

Poor customer service... Nothing is wrong with the ice cream. You get all you'd like from a Cold Stone Creamery at this location. I was on the HUNT for Grape Nut ice cream, called more than a few ice cream shops and had no luck. I decided to ask if I brought a box of Grape Nut cereal would they mix it in some ice cream. I was told, by who I now know is a new employee that he'd check with his manager. I overheard him ask and the manager say "Yeah sure." He of course told me the same. A couple hours pass, excuse me for having other responsibilities, I head over with my family to create this ice cream dream. Side Note: Did you know Grape Nut cereal is $6 a box?! We get to the counter and started sampling flavors to make the perfect combo. The crew member, she didn't have a badge on, was annoyed. Sighing heavily, rolling her eyes, just -- Anyway, we decided on 3 flavors to be mixed together. They don't do that. We explained that we were willing to pay for the 3 flavors, she huffed off to ask someone if it was ok. I proceeded to tell her what I wanted and what I was told over the phone from a manager; she flat out said no. Ok, Fair enough; if it isn't the policy. Say so. I explained the whole call and the "okay" I was given. She seemed to get even MORE annoyed. So we asked to speak with a manager. She said there wasn't one. We asked to speak with whomever she asked and she told us he wasn't a manager just a regular crew member. "So can we talk to him?" She rolled her eyes again (!!) and went to get him. He (I think his name was Jorge) came out told us that they weren't allowed to mix in anything but what they provided. I then explained what I was told. So he made sure I got the employees names I may have spoke with, they're tenure and the so called managers willingness to bend the rules. We were also told that there are no managers at this location, no shift leads on duty, only "regular" crew members Suspicious. We decided to mix it ourselves but still wanted 3 flavors. Again with the "We can't." Then added "You'd have to pay for the third flavor" ‍ To close this out cause I'm getting long winded... 1. You may not bring your own mix-ins 2. You may not mix 3 ice cream flavors 3. There are NO managers. So don't ask. (Kinda reminds me of the PopCopy skit from the Chapelle show) 4. If you're interested in trying Grape Nut Ice Cream, we mixed Vanilla, Cheesecake and Sweet Cream. I painstakingly mixed the cereal into the ice cream for a nice cool, creamy, crunchy treat! Bon Appetit! read more

I was really disappointed tonight when I went out to get ice cream. I visited Cold Stone, one of my favorite places, but I arrived at 9:59pm. The door was already locked and I was informed that they close at 10:00. As I let the guys know I was there right at 10:00, it would be nice for them to serve myself and one other customer. The three employees all said that they close at 10:00 and were unwilling to serve myself or the other customer. I was astounded that out of three employees not one of them would have said, "hey this isn't right, we should serve these customers." The only reason I'm not giving this location a single star is because I have received decent service here before. I hope the management looks into this and reminds their employees that the only way a business is successful is to keep their customers happy. read more

Yum with an upper case Y. Obsessed with the Cold Stone creation "Coffee Lovers Only." Seriously, I had it 3x in 1 week! Get it in the waffle cone and it's perfection. Love this location, too - grab your ice cream to go and walk the strand at Venice Beach. read more

It's Coldstone, nothing remarkable. Service was friendly and fast. I am just not a fan of the actual ice cream but my kids are fans of the huge selection of "mix ins" I have two teenage boys who appreciate the ginormous servings. For normal peeps, it's too much ice cream, but for them it's perfect. read more

5 stars because this is where I get my neighborhood ice-cream fix. TIP: if you have to drive-go at night and bring a friend. Have one person wait in the "drop off zone" while the other gets the orders. You'll never struggle with finding parking in this bustling area again. If you never had the Birthday Cake remix, you must try it. read more

Coldstone creamery honestly tastes like the tub ice creams I can find at any major supermarket. It does the job, however, of satisfying your ice cream craving when you're out and about on a summer day and their flavors are sometimes fun! Should def try the banana flavor as it is both creamy and tasty! Was not the biggest fan of the cotton candy flavor which tastes like artificial flavors on crack but love their chocolate waffle cone bowls, which I would buy just to eat on its own! read more
