This has been my go-to ice cream spot for years. Most of the time the staff is really friendly, though every now and then you run into someone who doesn't seem too happy to be there. One thing I've definitely noticed over the years is that the portion sizes have gotten smaller while the prices have continued to go up, which has been a little disappointing. read more

I've been here a couple of times now. Always had good service. They can be slow though, so depending on the time of day you could find yourself waiting longer than anticipated. The ice cream comes in your standard American flavors. You can't go wrong with their signature creations. I like to keep it simple sometimes with my own creation with a single topping. It's enough to satisfy my cravings. The prices are a bit on the higher side. Two cups of ice cream might set you back $20. I wouldn't make it a habit coming here, but it's nice to visit once in a while. Would be better if they had nice seating inside. read more

Cold Stone Creamery - Oreo Overload and Strawberry w/ M&M's - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - San Diego, California

This is the worst service cold stone I have to say in all of San Diego. I came here tonight and not only were the two cashiers unfriendly, unprofessional, and slow, they had a line out the door and they still continued to play around instead of helping the next customer to get us in and out. I'll never come back to this location again, get it together. Learn how to run a business. It's an ice cream shop there was no reason for the chaos in there tonight! If I can leave a ZERO star I would. read more

This ice cream brand used to be our go to store in the past. Fast forward to now the store has increased the prices at insane levels while reducing the quantity and quality of ingredients. A regular scoop at $11.50 is surely insane. I guess it is time for us to stop patronizing this store/ brand. BR and Handel's are maintaining their prices and brand quality much better. Give this store a skip for now. read more

Literally had ONE kid working??? On a Saturday afternoon. Like come on dude. There was a family of six in front of me ordering all sorts of different milkshakes and ice cream mixes and I legit had to wait like 15 minutes behind them. Not the kids fault who was working but come on don't be cheap and have one person working?? It's ridiculous. There's a bunch of people in here and he's trying his best but like how can one person make all these milkshakes and ice cream mixes and work the register and help out door dash drivers at once???? Insane. Took FOREVER. Go to a different location where they are actually willing to pay for two people to be working. read more

$53 for TWO Boo Batter Ice Cream Tacos. Are they insane? They charge $15 for the shell alone and you have to buy the ice cream separately. How does that even make sense? read more

It was good but, the lady working at the counter pointed me to the other menu right after I said I wanted Oreo. The Oreo descent. The place is small. read more

I wish I could rave about this place but unfortunate they don't carry the world favorite butter pecan anymore! Cold stone has to do better

The cotton candy ice cream was good, but I got gummy bears in it that were ROCK hard. Almost broke my teeth. Last time I went they were just as hard. read more

The ice cream is great don't get me wrong but this mira mesa location doesn't offer the full menu. Meaning, they always are missing ingredients to create their orders whether it be whipped cream, nilla wafers etc. Usually places like this carry a minimum amount of ingredients to be able to deliver like a PAR. If they are so short on supply, they should alter their menu. read more

This is a painful review, not because the ice cream or the service was bad, but seriously, $10.25 FOR A SMALL?!?!?!?!??!?!?! Jesus Christ, I wonder how much a large would cost?? This is ridiculous! I will not be coming back here. No wonder this ice cream shop is empty! read more

I've been here many times and I absolutely LOVE their ice cream! Some of my favorites include the Oreo overload in a cup, the mud pie mojo in a cone, and their mint chocolate chip flavor in a cup with some extra chocolate syrup. You can even create your own custom ice cream, so what's not to like? When I visited today, I decided to go for an ice cream flavor that I had never tried before: the cookie doughn't you want some in a cup. And, I can safely say that it was everything that I thought it'd be! This flavor contains a vanilla base that is topped with chocolate chips, cookie dough bites, fudge, and caramel. These ingredients all work so well together, and make for one incredible ice cream! It also has a perfectly creamy texture, just like most cold stone ice cream, and was extremely delicious! The staff here are also very nice, and the place is spotless. Overall, I always have a great experience when I come here, and would totally recommend going if you're in the area! read more

Because my boyfriend is allergic to dairy, we wanted to order the Silk chocolate milkshake. Unfortunately, the staff said they could only make it with regular milk since they don't have Silk almond milk (and haven't had it for a while), which defeats the whole purpose. Appreciated the staff for giving us a heads up, but whoever runs this location should take the Silk poster down or stock almond milk. They are literally right across from a Smart & Final grocery store. All the chairs were up as if they didn't want anyone to sit. Why not just remove all the chairs? read more

I have had an extremely sad and frightening experience in this establishment tonight. My brother and I journeyed to this Cold Stone, hoping for an evening of nostalgia and tasty treats. Unfortunately, neither of these goals were achieved. My brother ordered a banana ice cream, which I have a severe allergy to. Naively, I expected that the surfaces would be cleaned at least to some degree before my ice cream was made. Oh, how wrong I was. As I took the first bite of my ice cream, it tasted like Christmas- and not in a good way. I tried to push past the strangely holiday-adjacent flavors, only to be met with a bite that tasted strongly of banana. It was like a Christmas party with my sad estranged family that my psychotic aunt's pet monkey had crashed, but in my mouth. Pressure began to build in my ears, and my throat started to itch. Immediately, I knew that I had been banana-ed. I briskly walked to the CVS across the street for allergy medication while researching 24 hour urgent cares near me. My throat is still itching, and I can sense hives coming on. Overall, this was an extremely disappointing experience, and I will not be returning. The only reason that I will give 2 stars instead of 1 is for the convenient proximity to a pharmacy, clearly it is necessary due to their lack of allergy protocols. I hope that anyone with food allergies will steer clear of this establishment. read more

If I could give this Cold Stone 0 stars I would. I went before closing at 9:58pm and they said they were closed. My rabbit passed away and I wanted my comfort favorite ice cream but could not get it due to them being closed before operation hours. Now I am laying in my bed icecreamless and rabbitless. read more

The ice cream is great! But it was much better when it was made in front of me instead of the stuff they have in cartons stored in the freezer. Also, it took so long to check out... read more

Good ice cream. Good mix ins. A great end to a Saturday night date. Our ice cream artist, seemed a little new, but he was sweet and got the order spot on. The ice cream was fresh, yummy and so creative. I am a baker. So, I had them whip me up a cake batter ice cream with cookie dough, brownie and caramel. My girl got the banana bread one, it had bananas, cinnamon and pecans. Which is less like ice cream and tastes more like banana flambé. She described the ice cream as "creamy" (There is a reason I write about the places we visit ;)) The store was clean, has about three two-top tables, but don't fret there are some great seats outside, where there is some great people watching. read more

One of my favorite ice cream places to come to when I'm having that craving. I always go for their sweet cream ice cream with Oreo and reeses. Only reason they don't get a 5 star is because there prices have gotten super high over the years. read more

I walked in to order a customized birthday cake and was assisted by a friendly sales associate who helped me fill out the order form. The process was simple enough but the cake itself was disappointing because the lettering was messed up and shaky. Also, I asked for mint ice cream with chocolate chips and brownie mix-ins but it seemed like all chocolate chip and no brownie. For the price, I would have expected a better overall product. Still, Cold Stone in general is one of my favorite ice cream spots so I would still come back just for the ice cream. read more

I'm not one to leave bad reviews... but every time I come to this coldstone, the customer service is awful. Today, we came in with a coupon through the 24 Hour Fitness FitPerks program. I showed them the redemption code and everything they should've needed to redeem the coupon. They didn't accept the coupon, didn't bother to offer an alternative solution, didn't get a hold of a manager to help the situation and told us we should just "write a review" so here we are. I live right by this place and would gladly be a regular if they got their stuff together. read more

Great service every rime even when they are super slammed! And the ice cream is always mixed so well, sometimes given extra ;) read more

Man the price of ice cream has gone up so much! I came by for some coffee ice cream and this place hit the spot. I got the coffee ice cream with Heath and pretzels as my mixin. I love how creamy the ice cream at cold stone is. The workers were super friendly and the portion was huge. My medium ice cream was close to $9 but it was worth it! read more

Our server was kind but clearly not that excited to be there. FYI their new hours are they close at 9 30 pm on Sundays so I thought it was a little rude hey put up the chairs and started cleaning st around 9... because I personally would've liked to sit in the store a bit. On our way out another group walked in at 9 15 and I could tell the workers weren't happy. Hope they can update the hours here so people can go in without disrupting the workers closing schedule. On the bright side Iif you get the classics it's , 5.99 for like it, 6.99 for love it, and 7.99 for gotta have it... which is almost a dollar more per cup compared to colestones LA. My go to is he cookie doughnt you want some and I replace my chocolate chips out with a brownie. So it ends up being french vanilla, brownie, cookie dough, caramel, and fudge! One of my favorite places so I hope to have a better experience next time! read more

Giving two stars because the service there is horrible especially when the males servers are working. They judge clientele by how they look and apparently they don't like to serve African American. Don't get me wrong, when the young ladies work the service is great but the males need to improve the way they treat perspective customers. Diego E and your partner this is for you. I know you guys are young and this might be a part time job for you. Please show respect to ALL perspective customers because you represent the ownership. I've included a receipt to so that I actually did visits this business and made a purchase. read more

Worst service. Such rude employees like they hate serving people. And they don't even do a good job making the ice cream. We used to love going to Coldstone. But this location is the worst. Visited on 7/15/2024 at 850pm. Whoever was working was so rude. Will not be returning to this location. The price of the ice cream is way too expensive to receive this type of service. read more

First time at this location 18 Different flavors and about 20 toppings to chose from.

Sheridan took EXCELLENT care of us. We made a day before decision to get a Red Velvet w/Cake Batter Ice Cream cake for our son's birthday. Unfortunately, the cake maker wasn't taking orders and my only option was a ready to take cake in the freezer, so I took a gamble on that, and I was a tad bit nervous picking it up the day of the party (literally 20 minutes before the party as Cold Stone opened at 11am.) I pre-paid for the cake, and as promised, they had it all ready as soon as my hubby went to pick it up when their doors opened. The actual cake was perfect - not too sweet and the kids LOVED it! Some asked for seconds. I'm so very happy that we did the Large round ice cream cake ($35 including tax) they said it served 14 ppl, but we cut smaller slices and had leftovers for a party of 25 people. read more

Whatever flavor you're craving, they have it. I came this evening because I was craving a variety of desserts so why not go where they can put them all together in a cone. I had the chocolate truffle ice cream with caramel sauce, brownies and whip cream mixed in. Yum! This location is convenient (Mira Mesa) there's plenty of parking, it's not hidden, and you can go in and out pretty quickly. The place is clean, the staff were funny. The guy assisting us would throw the ice cream in the air and catch it in a cup. Pretty cool! The two staff working were very friendly and they had a line of people. Not because of slow service but because it was a busy night. read more

Absolutely rich, creamy and flavorful ice cream! Their rendition of the banana split threw me off, though. Used to getting the three separate scoops in a wider serving. Overall, enjoyable. The service was great. Wish I had been able to enjoy the flavors separately without having them melt into each other! read more

I come to this plaza all the time and have never been inside of Cold Stone. I usually don't treat myself to such confections, but when the invitation to join some of my housemates for dessert arose, I was eager to hang with the gang. There are tons of choices and I had a difficult time deciding. The girl behind the counter was very helpful and I decided to go sick with some of their "Mint Mint Chocolate Chocolate Chip" concoction. It's basically mint ice cream with chocolate chips, fudge, and brownies mixed in. I had decided to go sick and order their largest, "gotta have it" size, which weighed in at nearly $6. This was definitely not a cheap treat. It was very rich and tasty and was entirely too much of a good thing, forcing me to take the rest home with me. This is only the second time I'd ever gone to Cold Stone. I had a pretty bad taste in my mouth after the first visit since it cost nearly $10 for my dessert, including the tip that got the crew behind the counter singing. While totally novel, I can't really see myself coming that often, especially since I'm on somewhat of a diet and I can literally get 2 gallons of ice cream for the price of a single cup here. Food: 7/10 Service: 7/10 Price: $ Atmosphere: 6/10 read more

Maybe 2 stars for my no fair funnel cake? But the ice cream was good. Had a funnel cake for brunch at the Del Mar Fair for breakfast that day, yummy! Went to Cold Stone for some ice cream that night, surprised to see this "no fair funnel cake" on the menu so we gave it a shot. Bad idea... saw them putting the dough in the microwave for like 1 minute, and then topped with some ice cream, whipped cream, and strawberry jam. The dough was cold and hard, meh... ice cream was good though. The strawberry jam was very sour. Will never order it again. read more

I LOVE Cold Stone! They always have lots of amazing ice cream flavors to choose from and cool toppings! I like mixing in strawberries, graham crackers and chocolate chips into the ice cream! At this particular location the service is phenomenal! The guys behind the counter are very friendly and customer oriented. In this shop "the customer is always right!" The employees make sure that everyone who walks in the door has a pleasant experience. I definitely recommend this shop for anyone looking for a sweet treat! Also, their ice cream cakes are delish! Great for birthday parties! read more

Service was ok but $6.50 for 3/4 cup of cream? I won't be back unless the price comes down or they start giving more for the money.

Came here to get ice cream. Hours say till 11 pm however they were already closed at 10. Either the store needs to post the correct time or Yelp needs to update their app read more
