The line can gets long, fast! And since this is Cold Stone we're talking about, ya need to be a little patient as they put together the magic. That being said, this little shop in City Walk is very cute with excellent choices! Nice and cool, a breath of fresh air before or after a long day at the parks. Not to mention, it smells so yummy inside! I love the Founder's Favorite, subbing out brownies for Oreos. Their sweet cream ice cream is rich, and slightly sweet, but oh-so-decadent! Can never go wrong. read more

A great cold treat to get after a hot park day at Universal Studios or Islands of Adventure. I love Cold Stone and it's so convenient to have one at City Walk! read more

Great ice cream and fast. No overly friendly but did good (not mean, just quick and no talking-like service, which is fine). Very small on the inside but lots of seating on the outside. The chocolate devotion is my FAV! Highly recommend if you love rich, chocolate. Tbh a lot of their options are richer flavors though (which I love). read more

Nice dessert place with great ice cream and toppings selections. They prepare your order with the cold stone right in front of you. Noice. Expect some short lines to wait for 10-15min, which is fine for dessert. Recommended. read more

I am writing to express my deep disappointment with the service I received at the Cold Stone Creamery located at Universal City Walk on a recent visit. What was supposed to be a simple and enjoyable family treat turned into an experience I am not likely to forget -- and not for the right reasons. I ordered three cups of ice cream: two Strawberry Blondes and one Oreo Explosion. Unfortunately, the very first cup was made incorrectly, missing the graham cracker topping. When I pointed this out, the employee acknowledged the mistake and offered to sprinkle the graham crackers on top rather than remake the order. I agreed, simply to avoid creating more work, but this already set the tone for what became an increasingly disappointing visit. While the second employee was preparing the rest of our order, my 4-year-old son -- whom I am currently teaching the importance of kindness and good manners -- politely asked for a peanut butter cup. He was excited and respectful, and I lifted him up so he could make the request himself. Instead of being met with warmth or even a neutral response, the employee (Nessa) quickly informed both him and me that she would have to charge us for the peanut butter cup. Now, I fully understand the principles of business and that items have a cost, and I ultimately paid the $1.38. But the manner in which this was handled -- with no courtesy, no warmth, and no understanding of the situation -- was truly upsetting. Watching my son's face fall after being spoken to in such a cold, dismissive way was heartbreaking. And to be clear, this wasn't just about a peanut butter cup. It was about the complete lack of compassion and customer care shown by both Nessa and the store manager, Myrzabel, who simply reiterated "that's store policy" with no effort to resolve the situation with grace or empathy. A three-cent piece of candy was denied to a polite four-year-old child after the store had already made a mistake on our order -- and no effort was made to make it right. That is not just bad service; it is tone-deaf and frankly unacceptable for a brand of this stature. Because of this experience, I have no desire to return to that location -- or any Cold Stone Creamery -- in the future. I will also be sharing this experience with friends and family and the world so they are aware of how poorly a simple, reasonable customer interaction was handled. If this is truly how this company wishes to be represented, then I'm afraid they are sending the wrong message especially with these two employees. read more

This place is very nice. In universal city walk, I think there's no other place with good ice cream like here. And the best is it's fully customizable. You start by selecting the size. There is many there's even 2 bring it home container which is very nice. Once the size is selected, you choose which flavor of icecream you want. There's a lot of choice. Then, you add the toppings you want mixed in it. In short, think like if you were at the store buying ice cream. There's vanilla and chocolate, but also vanilla with m&m, chocolate with brownies. Well here, you create those mixes. The basic one come with 1 include topping. You pay about $1 for each topping. read more

A classic outpost of the ice cream shop tucked into the Universal City Walk -- the line here moves pretty quickly, especially on the way out of the park. My big qualm is that there is a lot of cross-contamination. They usually clean off the surface and scrape it down, but the ice cream clearly picked up traces of nuts that we couldn't have. read more

OMG one of the most delicious ice cream concoctions ever!! Very nice and helpful staff! Cake batter is the best flavor, which I got with brownie, Oreo, and PB cups. Heaven!! read more

As of November 2020, they don't have the "like it" cup BUT they have to-go "mine" and "ours" containers (not sure if this is a pre-covid thing but I was pretty surprised)!!! It was a pretty easy process to get our deliciousness and it was nice that they had 6ft distancing markers on the floor. Can't go wrong with your choice-- they're always delicious. I always prefer the signature creations that have cake batter or cookie dough in them. And I always think that I want a "gotta have it" but end up getting the "love it" with NO REGRETS. Man, these get you so full. read more

About a week before coming to Orlando I found out Coldstone Creamery was coming out with Nintendo inspired ice cream concoctions. My best friend and I committed to sharing the Animal Crossing ice cream when we got to Universal Studios. I had been waiting 7+ days to try this and I'm definitely glad we stopped in because it is glorious. The other 2 Nintendo inspired options also looked delicious, as well as their everyday options, however Animal Crossing New Horizons was the only game of the 3 I actually play so it was an obvious choice. I was surprised the fruit flavors they chose were strawberry and banana considering neither are in the New Horizons game as well as the fact there is no chocolate in game either. You could have done cherry, orange, coconut, apple, peach or even pear. I suppose banana is half ok because there were bananas in old games but that's it. The actual ice cream was really fantastic even if I feel it doesn't fit the theme correctly. I am looking forward to trying the other 2 Nintendo flavors sooner than later because I'm not sure when they leave stores. Thanks Cornerstone Creamery for some great ice cream. read more

So good! This is where we first tried cold stone ice cream and fell in love! Staff was super friendly and patient whilst we chose what we wanted and of course the ice cream tasted great. It would be great if there was additional seating as there are only 3 or 4 tables available, but that wasn't a big deal. read more

Another staple I was able to eat in a long time while I was in universal Orlando. Once att win I ate this a lot when I was in jersey years ago. Found this place while in universal Orlando. Had to get it. I ordered the birthday cake with waffle in a cup. It is such a good icecream. I wish they would open some in austin Tx. Hopefully soon. Icecream was great and service was outstanding as well. Love this place. read more

By far, my favorite dessert has always been ice cream. And Cold Stone Creamery delivers when it comes to flavor & quality. Not to mention that this location manages to be efficient with wait times, considering their proximity to the parks. Will be back! read more

Cold stone is a reliable brand to get your ice cream fix but beware if you want that mix in experience you pay extra for it. Staff didn't greet us and we couldn't tell where to order so that took a bit to decipher but after that we were granted a few samples to find our flavor choices. I would say there were about 20 options with 1 topping give for "free" per person. My lemon sorbet scoopbwas refreshing and good. My family all enjoyed waffle cones. Fairly expensive but you know what to expect here. read more

We love visiting Cold Stone for a creamy treat and for the last 2 years have purchased a birthday cake for our daughter's birthday. Last year it was a Barbie cake and it was phenomenal. When this birthday came, without hesitation I ordered a cheesecake named desire for our daughter's birthday celebration. I went on line and placed the order with a good experience but the cake we got was not the one we ordered and not at all worth the $40 we spent. The other disappointment was the disregard for what we asked to have written on the cake. I asked for the cake to say "Happy 20th Anna" . The cake was asymmetrical it looked like it had fallen. The cake did not look like the image online. I plan to post this on line as a caution to other consumers, inconsistent quality and poor customer service. The young man who gave me the cake was working alone and unable to attend to online orders that have a separate no waiting line that no one could attend to. This was a disappointment. read more

Mmmm Mmmm delicious! After spending the day at the parks enduring long lines and the scorching summer heat, ice cream is exactly what I wanted and needed. It was my first time visiting Stone Cold Creamery and was impressed as soon as I stepped in the door. I was instantly mesmerized watching staff whip, beat, and smash ingredients with any preferred ice cream. It was hard to decide what to order since there were so many delicious flavors and create your own options. I ordered a Gotta Have It/Large Mint Mint Chocolate Chocolate Chip. It was too much for me to indulge on my own and had to share but honestly it was enough for four people. We enjoyed it so much that we didn't mind that dreadful hike to the parking garage. It cured my sweet tooth for at least one week, seriously. ;-) Inquire within about any special dietary needs such as; gluten-free, vegan, and sugar free options. It is a small store with limited outdoor seating. All and all I left one happy customer. High quality ice cream with fresh ingredients/toppings, and top notch service. read more

I told the server that was my first my here. She didn't even try to help, when I finally decided for the cone, she said that they didn't have it. so I changed my choice and she did as she as doing me a favor. I asked if they have brownie to mix and she said yes but didn't started to mix. I had to ask her again and confirm that I wanted it. I asked for m&m on top and she did like 4 or 5 and charged me a dollar for it. At the end, she asked for tip. I didn't say anything the entire service. I left and won't come back again read more

So my girlfriend and I came out of a movie around 12:30PM, we pass by the Cold Stone, and our path in life became obvious. We come inside and it's empty, so we skip right up to the counter and start to ponder. There are a bunch of pre-made options, but there are way more flavors. With the advise of the employee, and with a sample of the new truffle fudge, we settle on a peanut butter cup combination with the truffle fudge replacing the standard chocolate. The man behind the counter handles those little ice cream handles so deftly; you could tell he has had a ton of experience. He mixed everything all up and I took a gratuitous Snapchat video of it. Then, he offered us the peanut butter spoon he used! That is customer service. We pay our bill and head home, enjoying this perfect little treat along the way. Solid location. read more

Ve cream was great but We had a disappointing customer service experience on our first visit. Nicole's attitude at the Universal store was rude, and the lack of assistance, guidance, and education made us feel uncomfortable. It's unfortunate that employees who don't know how to handle customers can impact the company's image. We hope they take steps to improve this situation. read more

Girls wanted ice cream on our way out of Universal Studios. They were not offering samples because of Covid measures. The granddaughters ordered cookies and cream and cotton candy. The ice cream really had no taste even with toppings and the waffle cone was stale. Not a highlight of our day but the girls didn't argue. read more

The ice cream is normally great here but the service and the ice cream was inadequate this time. Server over-scooped my ice cream and barely gave me toppings for my "everybody's tub" he over-scooped so much he wasted more than i got resulting in my tub having no toppings and basically just being cheesecake ice cream. I am very disappointed and will not be returning read more

Had chocolate devotion large on a waffle bowl. Tasted alright, ice cream kinda creamy which to me translates to quality. However the ice cream was a bit melty already since the beginning when it was all chopped up mashed up then put onto the waffle bowl. Would I recommend? Yes after a day of struggling and waiting in line with all the universal rides I would recommend you down some ice cream and save yourself from insanity and questioning your own life decision of visiting universals. read more

So i went to cold stone to get ice cream yesterday with my girlfriend and her sister and there was two workers. A guy named kevin and some other girl didn't see her name. We got helped and when the girl gave my girlfriend her ice cream we asked for a topping that wasn't added and when we told her about it she just gave us straight attitude and was mouthing things under her breathe. So we got it and left and then walking into universal we noticed a hair tangled into the ice cream i put a picture of it, We went back and kevin haloed is out and then the girl started to say things to us and it was rude and unprofessional and disgusting. Hopefully cold stone sees this and does something about it never going there again. what a shame read more

When we get back home we will make it a point to stop at a local cold stone. Thanks for the experience. read more

They ice cream was very fresh toppings were great. Customer service was very good. Very organized and clean. I would recommend getting the smaller serving because the smaller serving is much more than one person needs, and I love ice cream. I definitely will be back. One thing though at this location they do not honor gift cards for cold stone creamery from elsewhere. read more

I'm not really a sweet tooth person but I thought this location didn't really have much flavor choices.

I have never had a terrible experience at Cold Stone, but this particular one was awful. We waited in line for 15/20 minutes to be ignored by half the employees and then told that "we were welcome to go home" because they were about to close. There were 6 employees working, one of which was a manager. Of those 6, 2 were working. Derrick was the extremely rude employee. He and his friend were making jokes the entire time and they both made fun of the way my girlfriend pronounced the ice cream creation we got. He then told his friend to stop scooping our ice cream because we were sharing. He barely mixed the ingredients. I'll be surprised if j ever go back to this particular store. Terrible customer service. And to top it off, I've contacted cold stone and no one has touched base with me yet. Really dissatisfied with the entire situation. read more
