Amazing hospitality! The gentleman who served me was very accommodating of my order which really made my night.

What a disappointment! I ordered A Cheesecake Named Desire and wanted happy Father's Day on it and it looks like a kid made this cake! The cake I received is terrible. I will never order from here again. Smh! The worst cake I ever bought. I should have order a cake from Ralph's, would have came out cheaper and better quality. read more

If I can give this establishment 0 stars I would. I have never received such poor customer service. I do not recommend this Coldstone location to anyone. I ordered a $50 custom cake a few days ago and this is what I received. Firstly, the worked handed me the bag closed and I just knew something was wrong. I opened it up in the store and I was appalled. The cake was absolutely atrocious. I have never seen something so poorly made in my life. The cake was falling apart in front of me. One piece of Oreo fell down. I have no words for the writing and the ganache and chocolate shavings had missing spots throughout the cake. I have no idea how this is even considered ok. Secondly, aside from the looks the cake I just want to point out that the worker never apologize nor seem any bit empathetic towards my frustration. Can you imagine that you order a cake and now you have to show up to a birthday without one due the fact that you'd be embarrassed to show up with it? We were offered a large cake however the price difference between this and our customer cake was $5. At this point, I was beyond frustrated and simply wanted a refund. The worker said she was UNABLE to provide me a refund without her managers approval. Fine, we waited. The manager did not answer after three tries and at this point we were very late to our event. The worker did not try to resolve this situation whatsoever, we had to ask for the manager to contact us regarding this. About an hour later, we received a call from the worker and not the manager. The solution they wanted to provide was to give us just a 20% refund and their reasoning was that this was a custom cake. Although I understand this is a custom cake, do you see the cake? In what world would anyone want this? And let alone pay $50 for this cake? What a joke. read more

Been getting their Triple size make your own ice-cream version. When you get ice cream at Coldstone go big, you won't regret it. Lately been coming here for weekly supplies and getting same flavor; chocolate, walnut, and brownies. Service is fast, I felt bad for they only have 1 worker and there's always people line up when we stop by. But always efficient and friendly. Sometimes they may have Group on deals or redeemable reward/coupons. Thanks for being in Monrovia. read more

Nice workers, good service, ice cream never disappoints. We took a church group here after an activity. They got through the 10 of us quickly and all the kids enjoyed what they got. I like that they have standard flavors and odd thinks like Lucky Charms or Cotton Candy. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. First off my pick up time was at 11am. They don't open until 12. They did not tell me that when I placed my order. I waited outside for an hour while worker was inside and wouldn't give me my cake. Aside from that I paid 130$ for a cake that looked like a 10 year old decorated it. I asked for my money back they gave me 30$ back. Once we cut the cake the layer of ice cream was almost none. Mostly frosting and yellow cake. I paid for pie crust, cheesecake ice cream, strawberry ice cream, and caramel. NONE was included. It was all strawberry. Would NOT recommend this location. You're better off going to baskin robins. Also the manager refused to talk to me. read more

Nice and welcoming staff. This location does not have any indoor seating and is fulfilling a lot of delivery orders. The ice cream was okay as it was pretty melted after the mix-ins. Not sure if the stone needs to be colder but we were there only guests when I visited. The top of my ice cream was very soft but everything in the cup was soupy. read more

The workers are great but the owners/ managers are very rude they have no hospitality and are very rude i seen fruit flys and ants crawling on the cold stone and in the ice cream, i also seen the manager and her husband with there kids who are very young behind the counter yelling at an employee to the point where the husband had to hold the owner back from hurting or continuing to yell at the employee. Very rude and a disgusting establishment do not go here read more

Operating a business with only one employee on duty while customers are lined out the door demonstrates a serious disregard for both staff well being and basic operational standards. Expecting a single worker to manage overwhelming demand alone is unacceptable and reflects poor management and inadequate staffing practices. Plus the AC was off making it so hot inside which was definitely managements idea. Feel bad for the worker he was doing the best he could! read more

I ordered a cookies and cream online (46$) and it was the 6inch small cake. When we arrived it was really hot outside but super cool inside the store (they had the doors open but still managed to be cool inside). When I arrived I told the staff my name and waited for the cake. It was for Father's Day and the person who usually writes on the cake didn't come in so the staff had to write it for us. Since I didn't realize the cake was sooooo small (because the cookies decorations took up so much space!) they could only write "HFD!" Since the space was too small. They also ran out of red frosting so I got. Lie frosting instead. I was greatly appreciated they were able to help me out despite the cake decorator not being there! We got a free sample while we waited so all in all a good day! The cake was delicious, I had to make sure my cool packs and insulated bag kept it from melting because it was very hot outside! Funny story, my sister thought it said HELP on the cake at first! Haha read more

We don't mind paying for the cake, but if you can't write properly or neat it's best to just say you're not qualified/ able to write it. $45 for a small cake and we asked the worker to put Happy birthday Victoria and the girl was like "I can put 'happy bday Victoria '" and we said okay, she put it in the bag and tied it before she showed us, we opened it to check and it came out so ugly, we asked if she can just remove it and put "15 with a heart" and she said sure. It came out so bad, but knowing we'd ask her to do it again would be pointless, i ended up rewriting it myself had to do it myself. It's better not put anything than have bad writing :c. Didn't take a photo of the "happy Bday Victoria" but we took a of the 15. read more

Cold stone ice cream is always good but I think this specific location only has okay service. Every time I've gone the add ins aren't mixed correctly or somehow the ice cream is more melted than usual when I receive it. read more

I feel like this was my first time at Cold Stone. I had came another day but their ice cream maker (I think that's what it was) broke. Yet they were still open surprisingly. I came here because of a Groupon deal my husband bought because he was craving this place. The prices are outrageous, but it feels you up like crazy. I feel like the ice cream is mid and the reason why people come here are for the large amount of toppings they can include. read more

god the lady with the heavy accent is super rude!! came in with my sister to redeem a coupon and at first she was super friendly but as soon as she heard we were going to use a coupon, she became stone cold (no pun intended lol) anyways, i ordered my usual which is founders favorite and asked for substitution since i don't eat fudge and caramel, and she said those were two syrups and i could only substitute it for one topping. i immediately knew she was lying bc all other coldstones have allowed me to substitute those two to other two toppings. and her logic makes no sense either bc any one syrup would be considered one topping. i wouldn't recommend this location!! go to the one in rosemead, it's cheaper and staff are friendlier! read more

This location needs to update their hours or something. Their website, Google, and Yelp list 10:30pm for the weekend closing time. When we walked in at 10pm, their "open" sign was still flashing brightly and the door was unlocked. The employee working didn't even look up and rudely said we're closed. The hours listed outside on the door do say 10pm, but from the look of other reviews, they even try to close earlier than that. read more

I had a horrible experience and complete waste of time! We went inside the shop the lady behind the counter completely ignored two 5.9 feet tall women and a kid for almost 10 min (Mentioning the height because we were VERY MUCH visible). After 10 min she looked at us and says I'm busy with an order, I asked her how long, she said another 10 min. Seriously! if you were busy you could have told us earlier so we could leave sooner rather than later. In my opinion, the owner of the franchise does not want business nor care about customers and their employees, at least have two employees to cater the walk in customers if one is busy. Very disappointed! I would recommend ppl read the reviews first and think twice to go to this store. Never going to this place EVER again! read more

Cold stone is always a go to for me. I love their brownies as a mix in. For the price you can get a lot of ice cream. The one thing about this location is it seems a bit more dated than other cold stones I have been to. Also there is very limited seating. read more

I went to Cold Stone today and the young man infront helped me out. He was super nice and actually went through all the allergy stuff with me so I felt safe eating my ice cream. Not everyone takes the time to do that, so I really appreciated it. He was chill and made the whole experience better. Ice cream was yummy too. read more

Walked in on Saturday at like 3, and the worker was there, I said a friendly "hello!" And the young girl with dark hair just stood there and looked at me, no smile no hi nothing, after I looked at the menu and was ready I said hi again, and she just waited for me to say what I want, like damn this is the last time I'm coming here, there's another cold stone I've been to with the friendliest guy ever, ima be going to the other one instead. read more

Came here for the choco taco on cinco de mayo. I wish I took a photo of what I got vs. what it was supposed to look like but I was too disappointed. It was such a sad choco taco I wish I said something but the guy who made it seemed like he wouldn't care. This $10 choco taco wasn't worth the price. It was supposed to be covered with the chocolate that hardens and peanuts on top but the guy just put a thin layer of chocolate and a few peanuts. So disappointing! No wonder no one was there read more

Impressively slow service. I watched an employee take 10 minutes to make a milkshake. She keep needing to add milk because it was too thick. Not sure if she ultimately figured it out or if the ice cream has melted by then. Either way, walked out. read more

This Cold Stone Creamery is located right next door to Studio Movie Grill with (free) parking available right out front and other (free) parking lots nearby in case you aren't able to get a parking spot this close. I came by this location with my husband last Friday, around 3:45 pm. There was only one family of 4 ahead of us. We were greeted when we came in by the 2 employees working. When it was our turn to order, we ended up getting: Love It Size, $6.49 prior to tax- For this, you can get up to 2 different ice cream scoops and comes with 1 topping. We ended up getting banana on top and peanut butter on the bottom. We picked the graham cracker pie crust as the topping. I thought the banana ice cream was good, which really made me think that it was just ripe bananas that was pureed and placed into an ice cream maker with minimal sugar. But I didn't like the peanut butter. I felt that it was just too over powering and would not order that again (my husband picked the flavors and the topping). I didn't really like the topping and probably would have preferred something with more texture and flavor. ----------------------------- (Total= $7.11 after tax) Service was friendly for the most part. When reaching for a spoon, I just asked myself out loud if the metal container by the register was for clean spoons (I talk out loud more often then I should sometimes). The employee probably thought I was asking him since he told me that they were. Overall, we had a good experience, although I wouldn't recommend ordering the peanut butter or graham crackers. Would come back again. read more

The ice cream was strange and gelatinous. There were hardly any chocolate shavings mix ins like I had requested. It seems like this Cold Stone had really gone down hill. I recently had Cold Stone from another location and it had been perfect. read more

Ordered from Cold stone thru Uber Eats at 9pm on 1/20/24 , it showed they closed at 10:30pm. They had around 3 drivers "pick up" the order and it was canceled back to back. Looks like they don't want to take late night orders. Ordered the next day again 1/21/24 via Uber Eats again at around 5pm, we received the order. Requested to get the "Strawberry Blonde" let me tell you looks nothing or taste like the picture. Definitely avoid this place. read more

What happened? I'm a big fan of Cold Stone. I've never had a bad experience. My other reviews are based on different locations. And I give 5 stars. They are my go-to for birthday cakes. I came in to try two new flavors. The pictures looked good. But I didn't get what saw. I understand things look better on photos. But this was not so good because the taste didn't match the description either. And also, I asked for a medium size cup with both flavors. They ended up giving me two medium sized portions of two flavors. I told the gentleman that I wanted both flavors in a medium cup. He said to specify by asking for half portions. I understand. But it would have saved us both the hassle if he would have mentioned that BEFORE he made them. Service was good. I give the young guys here two thumbs up. They were busy and they managed to help people at a good speed and friendly. I'll still come back if I'm in the area. But not for those flavors. Keep up the good work guys. If management reads this, I need a do-over lol jk jk *wink read more

Came here tonight after craving Cold Stone for a few days and left a bit disgusted. After circling the block to park, I walk into an empty Cold Stone's without customers or employees. After a minute or so, two employees come from the back of the store. I ask to sample a flavor and much to my shock, he reaches in the freezer with bare hands with something black on his knuckles. He proceeded to make me ice cream which I was fine with at long as he wasn't touching it but when I asked for cone, he literally digs through container with his bare hands to dig through the cones to find the kind that I requested. That's nasty as hell! He just raw dogged like 12 cones. I don't want to be that type of person to ask someone to wear gloves or grab a tong or something before going bareback on my waffle cone so I just watched in disgust. I threw that crap in the trash when I walked out. We obviously don't know what's happening with our food when we go out, but to see someone with something already on their knuckles probably tells me you haven't washed your hands. Then not to even wear at least one single glove in the name of Michael Jackson was was just more than I could bare. That's nasty work, dude. read more

Oh man I haven't been to a cold stone in so long! We were on our way to London when we passed by - I knew I had some time before the rest of my crew was gonna get there so I ran into cold stones & the smell just brought back so many memories lol. I usually got one that was like all chocolate & brownies - like chocolate devotion or something but for some reason, I really wanted something strawberry so I (I'm really bad with names) got one that had strawberry ice cream + actual strawberries + cake -- it was delicious. Just thinking about it now is making me drool lol read more

Kinda disappointed with this cold stone! I've been to others in the area, from Rosemead to Covina and this one is really dirty... and the workers don't mix the ingredients well enough. The workers seemed like they didn't want to be there....We went to try the Nintendo flavors and my daughter got the Kirby one. We ordered her the "Like it" size, and they 1. Didn't have marshmallows which was part of the Kirby flavor... and 2. Gave it to her in a normal cup and not in a Kirby one as advertised. Not only that, but almost didn't give us a Kirby cup to trade it (daughter was really sad she wasn't getting the cool cup) and gave a bunch of attitude, which wasn't called for. I always order the same thing, so that's why I really noticed the lack of mixing. The guy who made mine didn't even hand it to me and left it sitting on the mixing area. I had to ask another girl for my ice cream. I really hope this was just an off night.... read more

Purchased Father's Day cake online for pickup at 3pm on the following day arrived at 3:10 to discover the location was closed although the sign said open and the lights were, I assumed maybe they stepped out or would be right back so I left came back 15 minutes later and waited for 20 minutes now it's 345pm I've called multiple times and knocked, so I left extremely frustrated. Only way to cancel was to speak someone over the phone which was not happening.. Next day I decide to go pick it up and share my frustrations. Show up at 11:35 am once again the business is closed this times the open sign isn't on and the lights are off.. this time I see a person they wave to tell me there closed so through the door if I can't pickup my cake I need to cancel it.. a gentlemen comes to the door letting me know there closed and open at 12 now a few inches from his face are the business hours which clearly state 11 am and on their website, Yelp google etc all say 11 am he just says sorry they open at 12.. I say then just cancel my cake he offers to grab it for me. I then proceed to let him know I was here yesterday for my 3pm pickup and waited over 30 minutes between 3-345 and again the business was closed, he replied that's when he usually takes he lunch. Obviously putting a sign in the door and not allowing people to pickup an item when they know won't be open is to much to ask. The gentlemen did provide me the cake even though they were "closed" .. extremely frustrating if I could have cancelled the previous day I would have just gone across the street to merengue. avoid placing orders here if you need anything at a certain time.. I won't be coming back read more
