First time visit last night. My husband wanted a real chocolate malt. We headed to Cold Stone to see what they had. The server was super helpful, great customer service. When I wanted only a single dip in a small cup, she offered the kid size as an alternative. That was perfect for me! My husband ended up ordering a medium chocolate malt. They packed the ice cream in, it was so thick he had to spoon it out. He ate the whole thing! We talked to the servers while we waited. They were all friendly and so nice. Left happy - we will definitely be back. But not too often - I'm not sure my waistline can withstand it. :-)

I am definitely recommend cold stone creamery ice cream for their rich flavor and great premium ice cream. As we know Rocky Mountain Chocolate is a co brand with Cold stone creamery at this location ,if you love chocolate or Carmel apple it is the place to indulge yourself with chocolate and ice cream as the same time.

Great location and amazing ice cream. I haven't had a chance to try their rocky mountain products. The store and restrooms are always clean. They also have a student deal on Wednesday evenings which I use weekly!

Hope you like high fructose corn syrup! The treats taste great, but for these prices, it's disappointing they don't use better quality ingredients.

I love this Coldstone. They always have great seasonal flavors (I miss you Truffle fudge! Mojito! Salted caramel!) and the other delicious treats that they use to stay relevant year round like hot chocolate and fruit smoothies. This location in particular has a fantastic staff and super friendly owners. Sometimes it's hard to pick a chain store like this when you're in downtown Lawrence and surrounded by other cute interesting shops, but Coldstone Creamery is irrestible!

I've been to Cold Stone a few more times than usual lately, after we discovered that they have multiple sorbet offerings. One of my friends is lactose intolerant - Sylas & Maddy's sorbet presence is unpredictable, Three Spoons and Orange Leaf usually have one offering, but Cold Stone seems to have 3 or 4. For whatever reason Cold Stone usually leaves me feeling unsatisfied. The concept is great, but I feel like creating the perfect combination is hit or miss. A few times I've been wowed, other times, I know I made a mistake. They do have some interesting flavors such as blueberry muffin. There are some sundae-type treats that feature warm baked goods - don't get the funnel cake. I was so excited seeing this, having not had a funnel cake in forever. The microwave a small premade funnel cake, and it's just not delicious. Wait for the fair. Be careful with pricing - the prices listed are just for the ice cream, not the mix-ins. So if you order one of their signature combinations, don't forget to include the cost of mix-ins. The smallest size is fairly filling, I think I'd only go for a medium if I was really hungry, not as a dessert after a meal. The Rocky Mountain Chocolates at the store are an interesting additions. They have all kinds of chocolate goodies, from truffles to chocolate covered graham crackers. At $20-some a pound, it cost me $5+ for a Cashew Bear and a truffle. They were pretty good, but not amazing. They also have some crazy caramel apples.

Well Cold Stone, what can I say about you? You're predictable and comforting, like an old pair of jeans. Consistent and steady, you know exactly what you're getting. Cold Stone wants to be the hip cool place to go, but there's just no overcoming the chain ice-cream store vibe and bright lights. Gimmicks like tipping the servers so they'll sing a jingle written by an LA composer specifically to promote their evident overwhelming joy at being allowed the privilege to serve you ice cream come off exactly as most other corporate gimmicks do: forced, unenthused, and weak. What do you expect when you get paid $8/hour to schlep ice cream? Oh, and the sizes are referred to as Like it, Love it, and Gotta Have It. It was cute for about 5 seconds. Maybe it's just my pet peeve when chains try to re-name the sizes of things, but I just don't see anything wrong with calling it Small, Medium, and Large. Having not been in in over a year, I was surprised to see their menu has expanded. Branching out into smoothies and various frozen drinks, as well as ice cream cakes. Cakes I get, but smoothies and drinks...well....you're an ice cream shop. Do one thing and do it really, really well. They've closed for long periods of time recently, so I was honestly surprised to see them re-open this spring. I guess winter is a surprise, not a planned event. All that said, some of their flavors and mixes are wonderfully good. I'm a fan of their Chocolate Devotion mix, chocolate ice cream, brownies, chocolate chips, and melted fudge. Simply delicious. Their birthday cake flavor is also particularly good. Cheap, consumable, decent ice cream, just don't expect any atmosphere. Do what most do and absorb your ambiance from walking down Mass St. as you enjoy your cold treat.
