Cold Stone Creamery

Need a birthday cake today for my kid and they are permanently closed. Guess i will have to hit the daly city store… aw ~_~

Just have to say the birthday cake we got for our daughter’s birthday this last weekend was worth paying $ 10 more than at Dairy Queen. It was delicious, and the 8″ round cake served 16 of us just perfectly. We got the Peanut Butter Playground cake ready made, and it was rich and super yummy, including the cake part. I’d buy it again for a really special occasion; it was worth the price; everyone enjoyed it so much.

very delicious icecream. not very cheap, but still ok. service was a bit slow. location is good, near powell station.

This is my first time trying cold stone although it’s everywhere. I just got attracted by the people around me that a lot of people was holding a cup of cold stone ice cream, so I decided to buy one and try it out. It is very special. Picked my favorite type of fruit and favorite type of ice cream mix together. so delicious! Im an Ice cream lover:)

I was absolutely blown away by the helpfulness of the crew that was working tonight. Thank you for being so friendly and helpful. 01.28.15 around 8pm
Keep up the excellent customer service

It was very hot in there, and the ice cream was not very cold and was serve partly melted. It was dirty as well, they had not been cleaning there.

The cakes are awesome! My friends and I really like that. The taste is sooo good, and price is reasonable. Plus, the ice creams there are also good. For me, I prefer cakes.

It’s an ice cream store where you get to pick your own fillings & toppings… Realistically, how could you go wrong?!

First time buying something at coldstones. Tried the cheesecake ice cream with almond mix in. Staff was very friendly. The cheese cake ice cream wasn’t too good. I liked the almonds though. I remember I got the banana ice cream at the pier and it was really good.

I Love Coming To this Place For Dessert, Love Their Ice Cream Creations! However Today was Just a Bad Service Day.
We arrived at like 4pm and there was no one this lady walks out the back room, looking like she had just woke up her hair all up in her face. The gentleman was nice and attentive to what I asked. Going back to the lady my bf had ordered his ice cream and she was just with this straight face (I don’t wanna work here kinda face) she was just extremely rude. 2 stars for that

This Coldstone is located in Union Square. This one is a lot smaller than the suburban Coldstones that I am used to visiting, that’s for sure. There is not that much seating in here.
They put one fun size Twix in my ice cream which is quite small. I wished they put more!

It’s exactly like every other coldstone!
As is typical of the way that I interact with places: they remind me of stories and interactions and moments in life. To this point, coldstone is no different.
Coldstone is college trips with your parents.
It’s a hot night in July back in your home town in the east coast.
It’s a lunch trip to civic center and back on a hot day with some new coworkers.
It’s all those things and more.
The scream is sweet. Too sweet to eat often. Sweet enough for a day when you’re suffering from low blood sugar, that it will not only save you from low blood sugar but will thicken your blood almost to pure sugar. Sweet enough to kill a small animal. This scream, with two toppings smashed all inside it by the hands of a 20-​something whose arms have grown in size as a result of their job’s requirement that they smash and mix frozen cream, cookies, chips and syrup together, gives you a rush of enjoyment and profound pleasure that you are left in a state of pure euphoria.
This my friends is coldstone. It’s not ice cream, it’s cold stone.

How can you go wrong with ice cream blended to a shake? Very good and made me smile. because this is a treat I don’t usually get for myself. This is great location in Union Square.

Sweet Cream + Banana + Brownie + Pecans + Fudge + Caramel = HEAVEN
Minus a star because the service was a bit slow; there was just one guy manning the counter and the post lunch hour line was pretty long.

Coldstone creamery is ice cream that they hand blend for you. Awesome concept, but sadly it’s just not always about the flavours. it’s about the customer service.
The day we were there, three people behind the counter, the communication was iffy and the credit card machine was down. One person made my ice cream and another scooped my husbands, when it was time to ring us up, the machine was stuck and the girl who was doing the cash register was in tears because she was frustrated. The two who had us, bickered about who would do the ring out. It was just messy over all.
Still, the ice cream was good. Can’t fault them that.

Staff is wonderful and the sizes are pretty big … Great for sharing. mint ice cream cake is delicious !!! It looks small but it goes a really long way

This was the worse experience at Cold Stone ever! The shake I ordered was simple, and expensive for a shake ($ 6)
The shake wasn’t thick at all, very watery, hardly any bits of candy at all and I could hardly taste any caramel at all.
I’ve ordered this shake many many times in different locations state wide (Bay Area to San Diego) and it’s been perfection each time except now. I feel like this happened because of the location (expensive San Francisco touristy area) and won’t be visiting this location ever again.

I… come here a lot. Upon each visit, I usually get 1 – 2 ice cream cakes, but sometimes I get 3. Each time I get some kind of writing on the cakes. You see, I am charged with getting birthday treats for my office, so you can imagine that any establishment that is quick, convenient, has excellent service and excellent treats will be on my list of destinations. (Not to mention any establishment that is tolerant of my frequent demanding visits).
Coldstone has great stuff and great staff. Lots of flavors to choose from with helpful employees. They also have a point card system — get one of those going and you’re looking at eventual free sweets!
Thanks for tolerating my demanding ice cream cake hauls — you make me look good!

Hi. My name is Adena and I’m a bit of an ice cream snob.
All in somber unison now: «Hi, Adena.»
C’mon, gimme a break: San Francisco’s got Bi-​Rite, Mitchell’s, Xanath, Humphry Slocombe… and that’s just a sampling of the good stuff. So, really, places like Cold Stone don’t really do it for me anymore.
Sure, it was great in college, and that’s precisely why we went to this location recently. We wanted a little pick-​me-​up that came with a side of reminiscence. I like that you can mix-​and-​match random flavors, but I really don’t like how melty the ice cream gets when all the mixing and matching’s done. Also: what’s with the lack of fresh fruit? Everything was covered in syrup.
Anyway, if you’re a fan of mediocre, melty ice cream – which I KNOW some of you weirdos are – then, seriously, this place is perfect for you!

My husband likes to be an asshole and suggest we go to places like Cold Stone when he knows I’m on P90X and craving sweets like a mo-​fo. So it’s been a while since I’ve eaten here, but this location stands out for me simply because of the pure entertainment that this area offers, especially in the late night hours. First, there are the girls in sequin dresses and stiletto heels darting across the street in the rain to Infusion Lounge. Then there are the crazies, the street musicians, and the tweens who should probably be at home doing homework or something.
They close late, so they get their fair share of interesting clientele. So as a result, the store is rarely clean. There’s no point in reviewing the ice cream because it tastes the same at every Cold Stone.
