ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE WORKERS!!! My friends and I were trying to explore the town and decided to stop for some ice cream. Right as we opened the door, a worker immediately rolled their eyes at one of my friends. We decided to leave, but as I looked into the window, another worker, who was too busy eating ON THE JOB WITH GLOVES ON (so unsanitary), flipped us off. Overall the experience was awful! read more

This store desperately needs a manager that can actually manage. Employees lack a sense of urgency and have poor time management, communication, and retention skills. The store is consistently slow and always behind because of poor management. The reason I'm writing this review: I spent 35 minutes waiting, only to find out the order I came to pick up hadn't even been started. Multiple employees asked for the pickup name--more than once--and after I gave it, there was no response, no communication, not even a simple "we're working on it." This was a mobile order, which should have given the store extra time to prepare before I even arrived. During those 35 minutes, I watched multiple waves of customers and DoorDash drivers come and go while I still hadn't received anything. After that long, I wasn't going to stick around. When I first arrived, there was only one customer and a small group who had already been served. There's no reason a simple order--a small cup of vanilla ice cream--should take 35 minutes. This isn't a one-time issue. It's the worst it's been, but delays are common. The employees still get paid hourly, but delays like this directly affect drivers' earnings. Waiting 20-35 minutes is not okay. Also, the paper ticket system clearly isn't working--orders get lost, handwriting can be unclear, and there's no consistency. Don't apologize--just do better. read more

Thank you so much Khali for taking such wonderful care of my order and making sure everything was to perfection! You are AMAZING!!!!-Hollie

We picked a good day to visit when there was no one in line! The two guys were so friendly and patient, ice cream apple pie a la mode, and the other was mint! read more

If I could leave no stars, I would. This is my second time coming into this establishment; won't speak about the first experience but it was soo bad that one of the youth asked me not to report them--left with no ice cream!! But on today, I went in, no greeting--asked for my ice cream and was argued down about what I wanted, then my boyfriend ordered. The young girl rolled her eyes, slammed stuff around and when I said thank you for my ice cream, she didn't say anything. Okay, cool. When it was time to pay, the young guy leaned his hand over the machine and just waited--didn't say the total or anything. He eventually said, "cash or card". For almost 20.00, our money could've been spent elsewhere for a better experience with nice people. I told myself almost 2 weeks ago, I would not come back but I wanted to try it again. I am so upset and frustrated bc I have worked in customer service for years--there was nobody in there, not busy, poor attitude, poor customer service. The ambiance was quiet and dry, as if nobody was supposed to be in there. I will not be returning and will tell others as my boyfriend and I LOVE icecream. Please management, help this location!! read more

I din't get any pictures but I took my kids here for a splurge ice cream! They usually share one with their brother who is dairy free so they usually only have one option. While their brother was gone, I wanted to treat them. They were so excited and the staff here were patient, kind and friendly as it took them a bit to pick their perfect flavor. I wish I would have gotten the name of the girl who helped us, she was wonderful! read more

My go to ice cream spot! I love cold stone because of their variety of flavors and toppings. The store is a little small, especially when there are a lot of people waiting plus there's not a lot of seating. During the spring/summer, they do put a table and a couple chairs outside though. The employees are always kind and they have catchy tunes when making the magic happen! The manager is very kind to all and you can see that reflects onto the employees in the store. The pricing can seem a little on the expensive side, especially once you start adding all the goodies in, but it's better than regular ol' vanilla ice cream & sprinkles. Located right next to a free parking garage. read more

My daughter had a gift card to spend here and so we decided to come to the town center location so that we could walk around as well. From the moment we walked in I was thrilled. Such a clean and well-lit establishment. The gentlemen helping us seemed to be the owner possibly, I should have asked. However he was SO kind. From start to finish. I was so pleased with the customer service received here. Along with it being so clean, the variety of ice cream to choose from was large and the best part about it, they were all stocked and available. Most times we end up at an ice cream place only to find our favorites gone. That was not the case here! Thanks for a great visit! We WILL be back! read more

We normally order from the Lynnhaven location and will probably continue to do so. We get 2 create your owns from Uber eats at least once a week and they are usually full to the top with ice cream. This time the cups were not full at all. The mix-ins were not crushed up well at all. I will not order from this location again. Also I ordered the cooking dough't you want to have some and it says it's with French vanilla ice cream but I think it was made with cake batter because it was very sweet. ‍ read more

We visit this Cold Stone often. The two guys working today were very friendly and greeted us as soon as we walked in. The service was quick. There is no indoor seating, so we always opt to sit outside and enjoy the views of Town Center. The ice cream flavors are always delicious and our waffle cone bowls today were warm and fresh! read more

It's been a really long time since I ventured in a Cold Stone Creamery. This is the first time that I recall hitting up the area's only location in Town Center Virginia Beach. The store is directly across from Brook Bros. on the main drag. Parking is either by street, or parking garage beside the establishment. The good news is parking in the garage is FREE. A nice wide sidewalk leads up to the front entrance. A couple of small tables are positioned directly in front of the store for enjoying your ice cold treats. Upon entering my family was greeted by a couple of young high school age boys smiling. The place is much smaller than I expected with just a few tables inside. A few customers were in the process of ordering. The long counter that the employees work behind is where all the action is, so let the kids up front. The staff began singing little catchy tunes that were quite amusing. I don't recall this being a part of the chains schtick. I found the dining room to be tidy and also used the facilities and also found them to be in order. We looked over the menu and decided on waffle bowls which seemed somewhat pricey to me. But hey, this was a special treat for the kids and I did not mind the splurge. The boy that waited on us was very nice and patient with the kids as they decided on what ice cream and fixings.to order. Cold Stone is known for it's huge selection of toppings, so it could take the little ones some time to choose. It ended up being mint chocolate chip for both kids with several toppings. The fun has just begun. So with the ice cream and topping you choose it's moved over to the ice cold marble top to create a pocket that the toppings are mixed in. The kids will enjoy watching the action and there is a clear view for them to do so. Beware, more impromptu singing could take place at anytime as it did for us. We enjoyed our treats inside and the kids loved a different type of experience than say a DQ. I found the ice cream to be good, but not the best I have had in my life. With the options to choose from on toppings and the process of mixing them, it's about Cold Stone Creamery's experience. I think you will like it, I know our family did and will be back. read more

I go to this location quite often as it is the closest goldstone to where I live. Ive had a not so good experience with the manager as she was very slim on when I specified I wanted extra caramel, but I recently visited this past weekend. It was super busy I went around 5PM on a hot summer day. Even though it was busy that day, Kimon went above and beyond. He is an amazing employee and made my order perfectly. I got the Founders favorite but asked for him to put it in a larger cup so that my caramel would not spill over. My aunt also got a new order, she got the Brookie and she stated that it was alright. I think with that order you need to add either caramel or fudge to it. I noticed that they had new flavors/signature flavor. Next time I go I want to try the Mighty Pink Puff. I'm not sure how long these flavors will be here. They have flavors for Mario Party, Animal Crossing and Kirby right now. They even have different cups for them too. read more

Small, pricey but consistent. With the location and ice cream made right here, the prices aren't cheap and only increases with time. Cold Stone is consistently delicious though. This place is pretty small with few tables indoors, and if it's packed, you won't have much room anyways. Just take your ice cream to the plaza and enjoy it. If it's busy, it's also difficult for the employees to jump out the groove to wipe down tables. I'm boring, so I don't order off the signature board; however, if you love at least 3 or more toppings in your ice cream - order a signature and sub out some toppings and/or ice cream as it's cheaper than a create your own + 3 toppings (ok, official terminology is mix-ins). I personally try to find the shift lead or someone experienced to make my ice cream to ensure I don't get a pile of melted ice cream in a cup or a messy cup with ice cream dripping along the outside of it and on my hand. Don't hesitate to ask someone to remake your ice cream though. You pay too much for milk in a cup. The cakes are amazing, but the customer service with the cakes depends on the person. I have a particular cake I used to order that I can sometimes get away with. Pretty much 2 different signature cakes within one cake. The smoothies are interesting. It's a love it or hate it experience. The milkshakes are hard to nail because the consistency of ice cream varies. When the shake is thicc, it's delicious. The kids that work are normally quick with service and getting you out the door. If you leave a tip, please have a kind heart and say "don't sing" before you tip via card or cash. Sometimes they sound super dead, lol. Which is cool I mean singing for a $1 is so extra, -_- I would return. It's a chain but sufficiently consistent. read more

Yummy yummy expensive and customizable ice cream... Need I say more? Typical Cold Stone with typical prices, decor, and menu items.

I stopped in with my two sons to enjoy a treat while we were having fun around Town Center (ok, fine, it was actually a bribe to cooperate while I shopped the Loft sale across the street). The gentleman working behind the counter was so lively and animated that he made our experience extra enjoyable. He offered us as many samples as we wanted and seemed happy to help us. The ice cream shop and its bathrooms were very clean. My boys got blue cotton candy ice cream with marshmallows on top. It looked absolutely terrible to me, but they loved it. I chose coffee flavored ice cream with a Reece cup as the mix in. It was perfect. Indoor and outdoor seating was available, but we walked across the street to eat our ice cream on the square near the fountain. There are great tables with shade, and the kids can run around a bit. read more

Pretty good. Depending on which person makes your ice cream determines how much you get. The new guy is very stingy and charges you for everything. The African American girl with the glasses is really good and nice, she makes the better creations. read more

The customer service I received on 06/12/22 was piss poor and I frequent this store. The girl that was making my ice cream attitude was so bad and I requested cheesecake with strawberries only. She never cleaned the area which had chocolate ( I'm allergic) all on it. So as she's mixing the ingredients you see chocolate and chocolate chips and she was chipping away at my ice cream and never added back what she was taking out By the time I would have gotten my ice cream it was not going to be a gotta have it. Her attitude was so bad I just told her I didn't even want it anymore and I paid for my Grandson's ice cream and left... read more

I have always been a fan of cold stone. In fact, I much prefer ice cream over frozen yogurt. Cake batter is pretty much the only flavor I ever get because it tastes just like its name says. I love that you pick your mix in or a pre-decided "creation". Pros- everything always tastes fresh, they make beautiful cakes, plenty of options Cons- the only one I have is that when you choose your mix in, they barely put any in there; ex. I love Reeses and cookie dough in my creation and they literally only put one Reese cup and one chunk of cookie dough...I sort of feel like that's not enough read more

Ever feel that something is kinda cheesy and annoying and you just roll your eyes and wish it would stop - kinda like when your mom gushes about you in public. But then, when she doesn't do it anymore and you start to notice and say "Hey, why doesn't she do that anymore?" That's kinda how I used to feel about the singing at Cold Stone. Cheesy! Roll of eyes...... But I walked into Cold Stone yesterday and What?! No singing? Am I not as adorable anymore? However, their main product: the ice-cream is still excellent as ever which is why they get 4 stars. I got chocolate, cake batter and sweet cream all mixed together. Can't find that anywhere else. Cold Stone - you've lost that loving feeling. read more

The first time I ever stepped foot into a Cold Stone Creamery was at this location back in 2004. I thought to myself, "what a magical place." There are 6 people behind the counter making ice cream and singing every time someone gave a tip of over a dollar. My favorite was a parody of the Flintstone's theme song. Fast forward to 2011 and there are 3 people behind the line and the singing has stopped. The ice cream and shakes are still wonderfully delicious, but that extra level of service that was profiled on shows like 60 Minutes, is gone, at least at this location anyway. I came hoping to relive some of that magic but I was a bit disappointed. But I was prepared for it. Of all the Cold Stones I've been to in SoCal, not a single one had singing employees. No acknowledgment when you walk through that door either. I was prepared to not be greeted with magic but I did have a glimmer of hope. So I wasn't that disappointed when it didn't happen... read more

I am not a big ice cream person and yes, i know ...it's a travesty. Every once in a blue moon I will get a craving for ice cream but it is not something that happens very often. One night I was down in the Virginia Beach Town Center and this craving hit me like a ton of bricks. I had never been to a Cold Stone before but of course I'd always heard a lot of things about this ice cream shop. They had a special ice cream the night I was in - blueberry batter. The ice cream was so good, I can't remember what mixer I got (I think it was 'Nilla Wafers) but the ice cream itself was just about perfect. They have a ton of ice cream to choose from - there are things you can put together yourself or creations that have already been set up by Cold Stone. There are tons of topping to choose from as well, which is kind of the fun part in my opinion. The ice cream here isn't cheap but it's worth it for a once in a blue moon treat! read more

Only one person working the counter on a summer night...slow...slow...slow...heard voices in the back...doesn't the customer come first?...Get your butt up and take care of your paying customers! Not that the girl was slow...but mixing the peanut butter and stuff took time! Then...the prices are a bit high for what you get! Thank goodness I did not have a bunch of kids! I didn't even care for the sherbet...it was too creamy...more like ice cream...not even refreshing. I guess I don't get the charm of this place...way over rated! read more

Husband and I went on a Friday night, Town Center was busy as usual. There was a line when we walked in and one poor girl rushing around trying to do everything by herself. She was trying her hardest to make everyone happy but the managers should be smart enough to put more than 1 person on a weekend night shift. Oh and don't bother trying to be good and get the yogurt. It's incredibly icy and has no taste. read more

It was a hot and humid day all day, and I was craving something cold and sweet late at night! The place closes at 11pm in town center. Ordered a "like it" size with my favorite, "Founders Favorite" consisted of pecans, brownie, fudge syrup, caramel, and Sweet cream ice cream. That hit the spot, the texture from the pecans, and the 2 syrups mixed in withe the brownie, it reminds me if Rocky road, but way better!!! My go-to Ice cream place in Town center!!! read more
