great service and friendly staff. the ice cream is great here and it's at a convenient location

The usual fare from Cold Spoon, which is always good. That's why they're such a success. One comment: a hat tip to the young woman behind the counter who was by herself and kept her friendly demeanor and composure on a busy, hot (95 degree) weekend afternoon. She could have used some help. As for ambiance, it's red. read more

I stopped by quite often. The staff actually knows me by name. The coffee is first rate when I have a sweet tooth. The hot chocolate is great as well. There's plenty of parking. The customers are friendly neighborly. It's an all-around, quaint and cool spot to sit and have a nice cup of coffee. Shout out to James shout out to Blu read more

This is my favorite ice cream in the area. The service is usually good and it's pretty clean. The ice cream flavors and combos are the best.

My favorite ice cream shop around, and they do have my favorite ice cream however it may not always be clean. They do have a selection of flavors that are delicious though and the workers are for the most part friendly. read more

It was a hot Wednesday afternoon (5/17) and I was in search of ice cream. I stopped by the nearby Baskin Robbins in Sterling who was out of praline n cream and butter pecan. So, we drove a little further to Cold Stone. There was a line but we decided to wait. It was hotter INSIDE. Like i was clammy leaving the store. And so was my ice cream. I ordered the Cheesecake Fantasy but it didn't live up to the name unfortunately. The taste was right but the consistency was off. My guess is that their AC went out because my Like It waffle bowl was soupy. I know this isn't the norm, but I need CS to do better. I ate some of the solid parts then tossed the soup away. This makes me sad. $7 gone and my quest for good ice cream continues. read more

Cold Stone Creamery - Half empty!!! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Sterling, Virginia

I ordered THREE gotta have it and got three small ones. I even ordered two sprinkled bowl cone and got NOTHING. Worst place ever. This has happened in multiple occasions. I called the location and said they can't do anything about my situation and I need to contact DoorDash when I clearly ordered directly through cold stone and not door dash. Worst experience. read more

I ordered and paid for 2 "Love it" (medium size) creations. The one was made properly the second not so much. They prepared the food correctly, but in a small size bowl. To make you think the order was correct they put the small bow inside a medium size one. I didn't realize it was the incorrect size until hours later when I began to eat it. This isn't the first time we have ordered and paid for a larger size and received a smaller one. read more

Ordered a birthday cake remix I always get. I guess this kid was high or was on drugs making this. He used vanilla, pecans and fudge (realized this when I tasted it. And thank GOD I am not allergic to pecans although I HATE them)..... when I asked him where is the sprinkles, his response: "Oh. That's my bad" so he literally ruined my day with this trash Ice cream. read more

I really had a great experience thanks to Matthew. He was very polite and accommodating to our order. He really made my Father's Day a great experience. The next time i go back I will be asking for him to make my ice cream. Thanks again! read more

I've been to this location several times and since my first visit, I never left as a happy camper. I believe in second chances but they just keep giving me reasons not to come back. Every time I've been to this location, my signature ice cream is never made right with the correct amount of ingredient. I sometimes have to order extra of the same topping because they are greedy with it. I always get Our strawberry blonde, and each time, when they mix it, they don't chop up the ingredients properly, 2-3 mashup and they scoop it right up and put it in a cup. i end up having to bite through big chunks of frozen strawberries, uncrushed graham crackers, and other toppings. I specified for more chopping, but she didn't budge. In addition to my recent visit(today) the employee who attended to me just came out straight from the back, asked what i want and picked up the utensils, she didn't wear gloves. to make matters worse, when she made a mess or her fingers caught a food item, she wipes it on her apron. she did this at least 4 times. I got very irritated, and when she grab a cover to cover my order, she used her bare hands, touching the inside of the cover and all. i ended up throwing the ice cream away because of what i witnessed. $10.59 and 20min drive gone down the drain. Management, 1. PLEASE INFORM YOUR EMPLOYEES TO WEAR GLOVES AT ALL TIMES. 2. PLEASE INFORM YOUR EMPLOYEES TO HAVE A TOWEL HANDY FOR MESSYNESS IN THE PROCESS. 3. PLEASE INFORM YOUR EMPLOYEES TO NOT JUST DROP ORDERS ON THE COUNTER, HAND IT TO THE CUSTOMERS INSTEAD. 4. PLEASE INFORM YOUR EMPLOYEES TO THOROUGHLY DICE AND MIX TOPPINGS AS THIS MAY CAUSE A CHOKING HAZARDS TO CHILDREN WHO CAN'T TPROPERLY BITE. 5. PLEASE INFORM YOUR EMPLOYEES TO MAINTAIN CLEAN WORKING SPACE. I would like to keep patronizing your business but if you keep giving me reasons to not come back, I won't. read more

The ice cream was pretty good, but when my family and I walked in the store we saw the manager yelling at his staff. The poor girl looked like she was about to cry. The service was good besides that, but he should really work on creating a better workplace environment. I know if that was my daughter I'd be upset. read more

I went to Cold Stones tonight and when I was bringing my Ice cream home the top came off and my ice cream spilled in the bag. Also when me and my best friend were trying to explain about the Groupon they were rude about it. read more

Took my girl friends daughter out for her birthday. We arrived at 3ish on Wednesday and there was no customers but the girls were working. One girl made our ice cream while the other one had to answer the phone a couple times. I felt bad because she was trying to help the other girl but that phone kept ringing...lol. The girls were very polite and very quick. Everything was perfect. The entire place was very very clean too. We enjoyed our ice cream. Thank you read more

I usually do not post complaints or bad review, but this was the worst experience I have ever had. If I could give zero stars, I would. The staff was very rude. They didn't have everything to make the orders but didn't bother to tell us before starting the order. They also did not make the correct size for one of our orders, slammed it on the counterstop and walked away. Some other staff was standing around talking with their friends while a lone of payong customers were waiting. Staff really just did not give AF. Trash piled up EVERYWHERE, inside and outside, including several tabletops; stained napkins flying everywhere. It was disguisting. We should have just left when we saw all that. read more

They used old marshmallows which were crunchy. When I mentioned it to the girl at the register she brushed it off and went to serve the next customer. My brother in law had to get back in line to get assisted again since they were kinda avoiding helping us again. After a few minutes of waiting in line, they finally got around to replacing my ice cream. We will not be going to this location again since they have bad service and do not check the expiration of the items being served for consumption. read more

This is an amazing place for ice cream and cakes, their cakes are fantastic!, it is a little hidden but it's close to the theater and other restaurants. The environment it's pretty nice, not too many seat, but it doesn't feel small. They have many options for ice cream, doesn't matter the flavor, all their options are delicious. Their cakes are amazing, I recommed the red velvet one When it comes to service, it's ok, most of the employees there are in high school so yeah, but there is always someone with a big smile. read more

Good staff and of course good product. Parking is slim pickings which is the only complaint I have. Custom cakes have always been well done. read more

Our little family went to get ice cream even though we saw the bad reviews thinking, how bad could it be? The girl working there was super patient with our daughter who had never been to a cold stone before and wanted to try all the flavors. She was friendly and our ice cream was awesome! read more

Cold Stone Creamery had an advertisement online that today (July 16) was ice cream day and thus they had an offer of two creations for the price of one. The attendants at the location denied knowing anything about offers or discounts, and when we show them the online ad, the cashier said that it required membership. This is called DECEITFUL advertisement and someone should report them to consumer agencies. That said, the air conditioner did not seem to be working properly at this location. read more

I hated the service. I found nuts and I am allergic to nuts. So, I had to throw it away. I give this place a one star rating. Massa Ghannam.

This cold stone is a nice little hidden gem. Customer service isn't all that great but the portions are better and know how to serve. Much better than the Dulles branch! read more

Overpriced and average taste. Better off spending you Money at the grocery store and purchasing ice cream there.

Came to this location after watching a movie at the cinema. The staff in duty greeted me when I came in and allowed me to sample the flavor before I made my selection. The Coffee-lover's Only ice-cream is my top pick. They were also in the process of making waffle cones, and it smelled so good I HAD to have one! Will definitely be back!! read more

They shouldn't let teenagers run the store alone. We waited 20 minutes for the three girls running the place to serve the four people in front of us with one of them washing the tables outside or playing on her phone instead of helping with the line of more than 10 people waiting behind us. They moved as slow as they could and were unconcerned with the long line of customers growing more and more tired of waiting. We left. It isn't usually so bad. These particular employees didn't seem to have any sense of customer service at all. So sad as I usually enjoy the ice cream. read more

They had the WORST customer service ever! The person there took a while to be ready for me to order it took them quite some time. And when I finally pay for my ice cream, they said they won't take credit cards because their machine was broken! And there was NO sign that said that the credit card machine wasn't working! I didn't have cash, only a credit card because I never knew the credit card machine was 't working! I ask, why don't you have a sign? I was treated with disrespect and got a mean reply of "we don't have a sign!". What do you mean you don't have a sign? GO MAKE ONE. And then he INSISTED that he shares personal credit card number with another store to pay it. I NO LONGER TRUST COLD STONE ALL THEY WANT IS MONEY. It was a red flag and I really felt that they were going to steal credit card information. And I wanted to file a complaint to the manager and I asked for the name of the cashier and he said "Why! That is unneccesary" and was once again mean. If he was uncomfortable with sharing his name, then why doesn't he feel my discomfort of giving my credit card number to him so he can supposedly call "another store" to charge it. Cold Stone doesn't care sour my feelings or customer service, all they care about is money! Don't go here! read more

to get a icecream it took more than 45 minutes. Out of 3 only 1 person is serving customers and other two making cakes and other chores. Poor customer service. read more

Very inflexible. Not friendly. We are from Maryland. We bought coupons from Groupon without realizing that they are for this Sterling VA location. They did not say on Groupon that those were 3 separate coupons. Drove almost an hour to the store and they would not let us use more than one at a time. Manager came out and he was useless. Just told us we couldn't use more than 1 coupon even though we have 4 people. No wonder they have no business even on Father's Day Sunday. read more

I bought their voucher through groupon for $12 and this afternoon we went there. the voucher says 2 love size and 2 kids size with one mix for each. the cashier said no it is not like this. You can use it for $10 and after that u will pay for it. I insisted no it is not like this but as u know a teenager will win. zero customer service. at the end I asked her to give me back my printed coupon but she said I cant . I said what about the ones who use it with their phone. it was a win win situation, spending $12 and getting $10 ice cream. never go around the store. read more

One of the better coldstone stores. They don't short change you on your toppings. They are generous when filling your cups as well. I'll be going here for a while. read more

The ice cream is fantastic, but come on it's a franchise so it will always be great. The kids working there are all either really stupid, or they act like they are high. read more

Great ice team - and smoothie - loved mango and pineapple one. It's also conveniently located in the mall and right next to the playground so my kids enjoyed playing around while we were enjoying ice cream. Great customer service too, so highly recommend! read more

Ran out of whipped cream. How does an ice cream place run out of whipped cream. Ridiculous!

We were in this location tonight after work and before we went to the grocery store. The kids wanted ice cream and I had a gift card and gave in. The girl in there was young and I didn't get her name but I wish I had she was incredibly sweet with the kids and that was much appreciated. She was so patient with the kids and let them all "sample" the flavor they wanted. The two and a half year old picked pistachio, so that was a bug help. After having the sample he decided against it! Haha. What a patient and helpful young lady she was and it made all the difference in our little visit. I had a couple pricing questions and she answered them and was very helpful. I told her "thank you so much for being so helpful and good with the kids." She said she loved kids and worked around them too. This place is lucky to have a person like that! read more

Lots of ice cream flavors to choose from. On the other hand, it's not as flavorful as you would expect. They do tend to be generous. To me, you seem to be getting more than what you think you're getting, because they fill beyond the rim of the cup and build it to a "mountain" or a "mound". The price that you pay is a little bit ridiculous to me. Employees are all young people, high schoolers probably. They act as one team, always chat, etc. Most of them are nice and say "HI, welcome to coldstone" but you will occasionally get one or two that are either having a bad day or just are dissatisfied with their job, and will act ho-hum. read more
