My friend and I were looking for a place to have dessert in Christiansburg, Virginia, so we did a…read moreYelp search and what we found was an amazing place to enjoy some wonderful ice-cream, prepared by a team of friendly staff with excellent customer service. After being awarded the Triad Yelper of the Year 2024 Award at the Yelpies Award Ceremony last year, an event that honored the highest-performing Yelp Elites, I decided that this year, as an All-Star Yelp Elite, I not only wanted to be the first to discover new restaurants and bring them to the attention of the public, but also to uncover those found in hidden paths that for one reason or another have not reached the public in its totality. And this Cold Stone Creamery located in Christianberg, Virginia is the perfect example. When we arrived I was impressed by the cleanliness of the place and the well organized it was with lots of colorful informational posters with many photos of the ice-cream being sold there. Two friendly young ladies and a young man gave us a warm welcome and answered all the questions we had about the store and its ice-cream products. You could immediately tell they enjoyed working there. After reviewing all the ice-creams and posters of the different creations that could be made, I ended up ordering from their Signature Creations Menu, the Peanut Butter Cup Perfection served inside a Waffle Bowl. My friend ordered one of the same. It was interesting to watch the servers preparing the ice-cream creations on top of a frozen granite stone as they mixed customer-selected mix-ins (in our case, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, Peanut Butter, and Fudge in with Chocolate Ice Cream) crafting personalized works of art before being served. When we finally received the final product and sat down to enjoy their ice-cream creations, it was one of the creamiest ice-cream that I have ever tasted. Later I found out that Cold Stone's ice cream is made on the premises every day, and is categorized as "super premium" by industry standards--meaning it contains 12% to 14% butterfat, which gives it a uniquely creamy texture that sets it apart. We enjoyed eating our ice-creams at one of their round tables with comfortable chairs in their relaxing environment. In front of us was a large freezer display case featuring Cold Stone Ice Cream Cakes. I imagined how good they must be. Before we Left I downloaded the Cold Stone app and joined the My Cold Stone Club Rewards. At home I sent them a copy of my receipt and they were able to credit points to my account for this visit. So I was able to experience for myself that even their Corporate Office is very efficient and Customer Service oriented. I highly recommend this Ice Cream shop to all those reading my review and invite you to view my photographs accompanying this review. Cold Stone Creamery Ice Cream is in a class by itself and as a fan of Ice Cream, I can testify to this.

The hours are limited, but I suspect that after dark is not a great time to do business in such a location. For those not seeking dairy, the place does offer frozen lemonade. They are cash only. When I rolled up, I was gruffly told that you could only get one flavor with an order. I ordered a waffle cone and the cone itself was nothing special. The ice cream itself delivered the complex dairy flavor you would hope for, and my salted caramel was mouthwatering. It's a lot to pay for one flavor of ice cream in that amount, and if I came back I'd get a cup instead, but the quality was there.

I've been multiple times just to walk out disappointed with what they have. When they do have more flavors, you can tell they've been mixed together(cross contamination). The service was equally disappointing. The woman behind the counter was reading a book the entire time and barely looked up to welcome us. It felt more like we were intruding.

Their hours are not very late, and I imagine there aren't a ton of passersby after dark but it's a little puzzling to me that they're not open at least until the evening in summer. The ice cream flavor selection is considerable. Given the setting, this is not a place you'd go for non-dairy frozen desserts, it is definitely ice cream. Their peanut butter cup flavor hit the spot for me. A seasonal raspberry truffle didn't quite; the raspberry flavor was strong, but there were some ice crystals and overall textural unevenness and the chocolate truffles were not present in sufficient numbers for my liking. There is also a store which houses a small amount of produce and other fresh and preserved items, as well as a deli counter with some prepared food. I didn't find a ton of interest outside of the ice cream I came for.
