Ok. Your mission is to get an ice cream cone. The best. Where do you go? If you like a simple scoop of vanilla or chocolate, this place isn't for you. If you desire premium products with creative flavors and mixtures of textures, you have found the primary source of your next heart attack. Cold Stone Creamery is a national chain, which usually deters me from getting too excited. But the organization has stayed on its tippy toes as it keeps it's standards of quality and creativity high. In short, they have roughly 20 premium combination flavors of ice cream that use chunky and syrupy ingredients to create the full flavor they aim to serve. Example, they have a "Birthday Cake" flavor with chunks of cake batter. They prepare the flavors on a nice cold stone counter top, mixing and mashing all these wild ingredients for a tip or two. In addition to these premium mixed flavors they have sundaes, smoothies, and frozen yogurt. Again, the quality of everything is as good as it gets from a national chain. So what's the catch? Well, your luxury cone could cost $10 depending on size. You won't find Cold Stone Creamery coupons hiding inside your monthly Valuepack. If you take a cluster if kids for CSC, you'll get tuned up for $30 in a heartbeat. This makes it more of "Special Occasion" kind of dessert place for anyone with a budget. Overall, a lot of fun and incredibly tasty. It can get super busy, but you'll put the time to good use deciding what to gorge yourself with. I give it 4 stars. For 5 stars they'd have to offer a rewards program or coupons for savings, and make a better effort to reward their better clients.

I love Cold Stone and it's ice cream - the ice cream to me is 5 stars. The service at this particular ice cream place was not good at all. There was a bunch of teenagers just standing around and no one seemed to want to wait on me. I waited for 5 minutes and there was no line. Then finally one of the teenagers waited on me and she did not seem that happy. That was annoying. I've been to other Cold Stone places and no matter what time of day or the age of the staff, I've always had a pleasurable experience. So if you don't mind mediocre service but phenomenal ice cream, go to Cold Stone on York Road.

(5/21/2015) We had dinner at the Thai place next door (Fuji San is in our regular rotation) and while I do enjoy mango with sticky rice, I just loooooove ice cream. For convenience, we went to Cold Stone. The ad hoc customized order was kind of a new thing when they first came out, but fairly jaded now. I had a hard time locating any fruit for mix-ins, this place does the candy better than most. I just got Sweet Cream with blueberries. The ice cream was the consistency of soft serve, rather sweet and sticky; the blueberries were actually unpleasant, completely flavorless, and still frozen, but chewable, a little bit like paper pulp. You'd expect a berry to have some juice or moisture of some kind, these had neither (almost thankfully, the portion was skimpy and there were very few blueberries in my actual cup of ice cream). Service was friendly, all kids. Prices are somewhat outrageous, $17 for 2 small scoops (free add-ins only) and 1 large shake (which ended up being not so large). After thinking about it, they strangely got just the right mix of retail into Yorktowne Plaza Shopping Center, a dinky strip mall that ends up being the perfect suburban date location for any stage of dating you happen to be in. Teenager? Get a shake with 2 straws at Cold Stone. Young adult with first job out of college? Hipster cred, yet cheap, Five Guys. Blind date? Starbucks. Recent divorcee? Universally acceptable, yet mildly spicy Thai at Fuji-san, and if all of those dates are going well, extend with a little ice cream at Cold Stone.

My girlfriend and I came with my mother earlier this evening to get a few ice creams. We were met with the kindest team member named Samuel, he was very patient until we were ready and when we were he took our orders one at a time. Taking special care for my mother's ice cream making her laugh at points creating a great experience.

What can I say? It's a CSC, just like any others... It is better than say, the one at Towson Town Center (they don't have Reese's Pieces there! What gives!?). It's just a pretty normal Cold Stone location... Decent service, decent prices, delicious ice cream treats.

I am not a huge ice cream person, but Cold Stone is definitely delicious! The store itself is small, and has a only a few tables, but that isn't a big deal. I have occasionally had to wait in a long line, but only once or twice, and it's worth it! The employees always sing when someone leaves a tip, which I know is the policy, but they really always go for it!
