In Short – Crowds of couples, teenagers and parents with toddlers press up against the long refrigerated display case at this dessert chain, where a variety of ice creams, frozen yogurts and sorbets are made in-store daily. Customers choose flavors like sweet cream, cake batter or banana, add mix-ins--ranging from candy bar chunks and Gummi bears to hot fudge and peanut butter--then servers mash it all together on a frozen slab of granite.

great ice cream

by ihatenewjersey at Citysearch

Thought my expirence was great. Ice Cream is top notch. Kids love it. My overall expirence was cool. Not a big ice cream fan but they had so many flavors I found one I liked. Banana ice cream, with graham cracker pie crust and carmel. I loved it. What I like to see is that everytime a new employee came out to serve, they washed there hands. I'm a germaphobe. But I totally recommend this store to everyone.

  • Pros: Better then gelato, and a clean place.
  • Cons: none

This ice cream is better than gelato, especially in New Jersey.

This is the best place I have ever been. I've been to the guys store in New Jersey and his gelato makes me sick. This guy doesn't even know that Cold Stone makes its ice cream in the store. Not delivered by a truck like his ice cream is. I think it is just plain jealousy from this man. He can't deliver what Cold Stone does. The guy from New Jersey says that it is filled full of calories.....DUH it is Ice Cream. But gelatos have much more butter fat and calories than ice cream....DUH!!!

  • Pros: Best Ice Cream Ever
  • Cons: There are none

terrible

by ihatejunk at Citysearch

Their ice cream is terrible. ANYTHING would taste good, with candy mixed into it, duh. Go support your independent local restaurants and I'm sure you have LOCAL ice cream shops, or gelato shops in the area. Cold stone's ice cream is the same everywhere, because the mix with high fructose corn syrup and 17% FAT comes on a truck. There is no quality involved. Just mass production, and selling you a 1100 calorie cup full of junky fatty air-filled ice cream and candy for 7 bucks. I'm in NJ, and I own a independent gelato shop out here. SUPPORT your local guys, and forsake the chains, and who cares if they're franchised. Over half of the money you spend in those stores is deposited out of town.

  • Pros: good for a stomach ache
  • Cons: too bad you have to pay so much for a stomach ache

The Extras:

Can't decide what to get? Sample one of the menu's tried-and-true combinations like apple pie a la Cold Stone, with sweet-cream ice cream, cinnamon, graham-cracker pie crust, apple-pie filling and caramel.
