We skipped dessert at the restaurant we were at to go to Cold Stone Creamery instead. It's been several years since I've had Cold Stone. There were only a few people ahead of us being served when we walked in. We had a party of 6, and the few people working worked us right through. Our service was good. I got the Dubai chocolate cup. As I ate my chocolate ice cream, I noticed a small amount of ice in the ice cream. I'd prefer a smooth Costco frozen yogurt over ice cream with ice in it. The place was clean, the tables were located outside where we could enjoy our desserts and the sights of Nob Hill. I left there almost wishing we had done dessert at the restaurant. read more

Do not work here. I had the worst experience ever. The owner did not like me & I did everything. I was promised to be a shift lead but they over worked me just to fire me when I did everything opened closed. Counting money. Plus there is mold inside the store. Highly recommend not to eat there. Worst emplyees as will who like to talk back. And the worst owner ever. Manager was just okay. read more

I placed an order through DoorDash for a boo batter ice cream taco and one love it smart brookie. My order literally came without any packing or boxing. The taco was just thrown in the brown paper bag, ice cream melted everywhere completely unsanitary. Why would it not come packaged or boxed?! And my other ice cream was flipped completely over as well. I'm at loss of words. Disappointing. read more

Ordered a birthday ice cream cake from here and am very disappointed. Attached is a picture from the website, which is what I was expecting. Instead, I got the other picture attached. Note that the dark blue outline was added by me to try and fix it (no luck there), but all the cake had was a very poorly written, off centered message. The rest of the icing was also very sloppy. I hope the taste makes up for it! read more

This review is purely to comment on the amazing service that we had from Inanna. She was so helpful, attentive, and made the entire experience wonderful. Packing for this location is a little bit weird, you can either park behind the building, or you can just park on the street across from it like we did. They did have both indoor and outdoor seating, and the location was pretty clean. read more

Coffee Lovers Only. Stopped in and ordered 2 Gotta Have It, very small amount. Maybe try a different location. Does not look like 12 ounces. Very pricey, $17.84 for 2 gotta have it. Worker said 12 ounces, hate to be petty, I will bring a scale next time. read more

Cold Stone Creamery - Coffee lovers only. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Came in on a friday night and it was empty. Two guys were working- one guy with curly hair was cool and helpful. Another guy wearing a hat was pretty rude. I dropped a $5 tip bc i know what that grind is like and at the end my son asked if he could get a few gummi bears on his bc ruse dude never asked if we wanted anything mixed in with it. Rude guy wanted to charge me for a few gummi bears and i regretted that tip bc he was a dick about it. Hope that goes to the cool guy with curly hair. read more

The young man who helped us was outgoing and helpful. The ice cream was very good and enjoyed by all. The restaurant was spotless. Even the food cases and windows were smudge free. Tables were wiped clean. The lady that rang up our order was a bit under the weather, though. She sneezed (and thank you for turning away from us while doing so). She also coughed. She repeatedly went from handling the register and money to serving food without hand washing. She touched her face and then put lids on beverages with her palm touching the whole lid top. The nice young man also bounced from register to ice cream scooping without the benefit of hand washing. We are big fans of Cold Stone, but agreed we likely wouldn't return. read more

Cold Stone Creamery - Oreo Cream Ice Cream with Brownies and Oreos in it - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

The service here is deplorable. I was the only person in the shop, & the woman acted like I was bothering her by being a customer. She was rude, spoke extra quietly with a scowl on her face, & even rolled her eyes when I asked what button to press on the CC machine. read more

Really excellent customer service at this Cold Stone Creamery location on Central. They had some issues with a custom cake order that I placed, and it wasn't ready when it should have been. The staff went out of their way to make it right with substitution cakes and made sure that I left satisfied. read more

Cold stone ice cream is always delicious and I love having it mixed however way I want my ice cream. The down sides to this location is that it isn't keep very clean. The tables were sticky, and the outside tables were dirty, with trash strewn around the patio. Service was okay. The woman serving us did a good job and was nice, but not necessarily cheerful like I'm used to from Cold Stone. There was another server that had his Airpods in, and didn't speak or showed any facial expression, probably because he was just zoned out and listening to his Airpods. I can't stand that customer service has come to this. read more

Cold stone is a good staple for ice cream. No matter where I eat it, New York, Colorado, South Carolina, Californian, it all taste the same. Consistent. I always get the strawberry Blondie ice cream and it's good. My husband got the area shake and it did taste like it's namesake. Didn't taste artificial. read more

We've been searching for a new nob hill hang out for ice cream ever since Ecco Gelato closed. And while the service and ice cream is pretty good, unfortunately the outdoor seating area in the summer needs serious attention. The patio at first glance looks inviting, lots of potential seating, but now I understand why Kelly's next door is packed and cold stone empty. Between the smelly dumpster on the west and the marginal chain smoking sales people set up on the sidewalk homesteading the non smelly part of the patio, the patio is totally uninviting and unpleasant. My wife and I went tonight with our ten year old son, and while I understand Albuquerque is casual and informal, do you really need to have the sales people set up in front of the sidewalk chain smoking with a banner saying"Jewelry and CRAP" C'mon Albuquerque business owners you do better than that. I imagine we were not the only family looking for ice cream in the summer and a pleasant place to sit. Not here! Too bad, I would love to give this place 4 stars but until the patio issues are addressed by corporate, two stars is all I can give. The manager and staff were nice and courteous when we mentioned the chain smoking men "salespeople" that hijacked the patio, but I don't think they will say anything to them. The manager and staff while very nice, are too young to be aware, or to intimidated to say anything to these felon looking squatters. read more

I love Coldstone Creamery. They have so many different ice cream flavors and mix concoctions. This location is in Nob Hill and always has customers. The prices are reasonable and will run you a little over 12 bucks for two cups. read more

It's Cold Stone! It was a Sunday afternoon and there was nobody here. It was fast service. I think the kid who was behind the counter was high school age. I wasn't sure. Maybe a college freshman. She looked young. I got the dark chocolate ice cream mixed with oreo cookies. So good! read more

My buddy hit me up and wanted to get me out since I had been a hermit for a few days. He suggested ice cream and away we went! This Cold Stone is located next all the mojo that Central has to offer. That's a good and bad thing I suppose because parking can be a little weird. We went down an alley that we thought would have parking but dumped us out on the other side of the block, no big deal. The two gents that were behind the counter were very nice and friendly. Helped us both quickly and efficiently. All around, this location stacks up quite well against other Cold Stones and if I get an ice cream craving, I'll most definitely head back to this location. read more

If you're trying to stay safe and away from crowds don't even bother ordering online. They will complete your order 25 mnts lair and ask you to sit while they allow 20 new customers to walk in. I'm not even exaggerating. And then I watched people who walked in while I was waiting receive their orders before me. Not just a few, almost the entire 20. Whats the damn point? This is the first time I've ever rated a business so poorly. read more

My niece, on her birthday, went with her dad to pick up her cake. Needed to use the bathroom very badly. Forgot her mask, she is a kid, and they wouldn't let her use the bathroom or pick up the paid for cake even with her shirt over her nose. Where is your freakin humanity??? In what world does a preteen girl have to pee at the side of a building because of a mandate for a 99% survival rate virus? NM. No compassion, no common sense. Never coming here again. read more

Love, love,and love people watching here! This is my favorite place in town to enjoy ice-cream for sure! The people working there are always super-friendly, and never fail to give my adorable English Bulldog Dotty a small scoop of sweet cream. Thanks so much to all of you that work there for always making ice-cream just that much better, here in ABQ! V/r, Casey Burnsed read more

If you decide to come here I recommend only paying cash. I was in Sunday and had a "like it" size ice cream. I paid with a card and signed my receipt which was $5 and change. I checked my online statement a couple days later and noticed the employee had chosen to give themselves an over 100% tip. I called to let them know about the situation and it has not been resolved. I'm very disappointed with the situation. As far as the ice cream was concerned, it was okay. The guy making my ice cream seemed to have zero interest in his job and barely mixed the ice creams and toppings together. When I've been here in the past it becomes one cohesive ice cream. This time is was poorly mixed. I do not recommend coming here, there are many better options in Albuquerque. read more

Horrible customer service.... we ordered a cake here for Father's Day and my sister was waiting inside for about an hour for the cake. We had ordered ahead and did not receive a call about the cake not being able to be ready. The lady said they didn't have the cake and they couldn't do a refund because the manager wasn't there.... No cake and no refund?! Then they said they only had a small one. So we wait. Then the girl comes out and says she doesn't want to make it poorly and to come back tomorrow (on Father's Day) to get it. Granted they refunded us and gave us a free cake, but the hassle we went through... I would've rather been refunded and ordered the full sized cake from somewhere else. So BEWARE call to confirm your cake orders so you don't waste time!! read more

Oh my god I am in love with their cake batter ice cream. That's it, no add ins, just a bowl of creamy goodness. The employee here was super sweet and friendly, a rarity these days! You can sit inside or sit outside and do some people watching. Definitely recommend. read more

I like cold stone, but I'm not a huge fan of this location. It's not typically the cleanest and the service is just okay. However, I do think their ice cream is delicious and I like that you can customize your toppings. read more

I went in to pick up an order. Just two people working and man oh man did they have a line of people. Myranda did a great job keep her cool and efficiently filled orders. Overall great experience thanks to the team on. Cold stone may want to consider adding a team member on Sunday evenings. read more

I will preface this by saying- I am from the land of artisan dairy. Ben and Jerry's Friendly's, Hood, Kimball farms, Herell's, Cabot(just cheese) to name a few. My aunt also from the land of dairy gave me a 10$ gift card. Now my aunt usually has good taste. She used to buy nothing but Hagen Daz, in the 80's. So we went and had a sundae. We got the waffle cone bowl with chocolate like product and nuts, which tasted stale. The Sundae was a peanut butter chocolate one, with supposed whipped cream. Everything tasted artificial, the whipped cream was more cool whip. Something I loathe-plasticy too sweet corn based fake dairy. This was just not good. It was expensive to boot. All I can say is glad I didn't pay for it. Friendly's an ice cream based restaurant in the northeast puts you to shame Coldstone. On a positive note, service was excellent. The stoner clerk- young adult was awesome. He was very excited about the product, and gave me hope that I would like it- alas! I work nearby and in summer their dumpster is one of the worst smelling in the city. Even when we went in May, the little garbage can stunk, avoid sitting near it at all costs. read more

Cold Stone Creamery - They are open till 10 why variety of ice cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Big bummer Nob Hill lost their gelato shop. Cold stone is fine in a pinch for good ice cream, there's nothing "wrong" with it and the service is really up to standard. It just isn't particularly original or outta sight, the same basic formula of cone, cream, choose your condiments--although there are definitely a lot of toppings to pick from. We walked about one block in relatively mellow summer air before the stuff turned to soup. So this is probably a personal preference thing, but I like ice cream that holds up for a little while, so I can enjoy it. read more

AVOID THIS STORE!!! I placed the order on doordash apprx 920pm, I was advised 20 mins and I could go pick it up when I got the notification. I was driving around the neighborhood, because parking is limited on central. At 10:05 I went to the store because I was still waiting for notification to change from "preparing order" to "ready for pickup". I called several times to see what was happening And then decided to get down and To my surprise the door was locked and I could see a lady mopping the floor. I knocked on the door and said "it shows you are still preparing my order". She pointed to the sign that said open and it was turned off. I then said loudly to the door "if you didn't prepare my order then can you please cancel it so I can get my refund." Again she's pointed to the sign. I tried to ask the lady if someone would answer the phone so I could explain that since they accepted my order and had marked it as being preparing that it prevents us from cancelling the order and being issued a refund. Guess what happened next, another finger pointing to the sign. instead of ice cream I got a 20 minute phone call to doordash explaining the situation and how I could not cancel and how the store would not cancel the order and now I have to wait 5-7 business days for a refund of something that was never made. There should be a process setup for this to prevent closing the store while active orders are "still being prepared" or if they are not going to make it they have the option to refuse the order. More training is needed for this staff on how to use their tools, proper closing procedures, and most of all compassion and customer service. On a side note the cold stone on Pan American stays open later and was kind enough to take my order over the phone. My advice is to avoid this store and go to a different one that does care about the customer. This would've been resolved with a simple tap of a button if they would've cared to look at the situation. VERY RUDE but I'm sure she got home on time. read more

I have been to several Cold Stone locations and have always loved their sorbet. It is dairy free and tastes great. I went to this location for the first time today and was very disappointed. I ordered two of their largest size containers, a strawberry and a lemon. I could tell that they don't keep their sorbet cold enough by the way they scooped it out. When I got it home and opened the lemon one it wasn't even close to being full. I paid about $15 for it and I expected a full container. The sorbet didn't taste right. Maybe it has to do with the temperature they kept it at. I do not recommend this location and I will not go there again. read more

My ice cream tasted like sour milk. Was inedible. The girl employee kept mentioning how they couldn't mix because of Covid yet kept touching her mask.. read more

The ice cream is miserably bad. Really, I didn't think it could be this completely tasteless. The consistency was off on every one I tried and the flavors are just not there. And the price!!! My god. A tiny little cup the size of an ice cream scoop (and I don't mean one that has been heaped up!) for $5.25. Where the heck do you think you are: Heathrow airport? YIKES. read more

I just now happened to eat the choco lava melt down which is supposed to be hot cake with hot fudge sauce and topped with vanilla ice cream. The dessert was totally messed up and very dry. The cake tasted old and not at all moist. This was the worst experience in this coldstone location. The store guys didnt even regret the mistake and did not even offer to make a new one. I would give no ratings at for customer service. I am very unhappy at the end of the day. Desserts are meant to be a good climax for the day. We spent a 11$ for a worth less piece of cake. read more

So much fun and oh so delicious! These people know how to make ice cream and know how to make you laugh. Tip them and you'll hear anything from an ice cream version of the Scooby Doo theme song to a Coldstone rendition of DMX or Lady Gaga. read more

Enthusiastic, friendly staff. Fantastic ice cream. Love their ice cream cakes -- Coffee House Crunch cake is amazing!

After eating too much fried food at Kelly's I wasn't sure I could handle ice cream with everyone else. I asked the server if I could have the kids size and she said that it wouldn't be a problem. She even fit two different flavors in the once scoop. I was pleased. read more

ice cream good, price ripoff!. a single plain regular sized scoop of vanilla ice cream at $5.50 is sure to loose costumers. in an area of the central that has experienced businesses closing in record number, behaving with these prices in an attempt to stay afloat in business, is going to prove lethal. read more

Meh, it's like really expensive manually made soft serve. Baskin Robbins is way better...and cheaper.

Absolutely discusting. Worst ice cream I have ever had. Sloppy mess of Simi frozen slim. If you like a mouth full of chemical flavor with a mystery taste you will love it. Had the chocolate which is the hardest flavor to screw up, but they did royaly. Have to stop this review now as I need to throw up. read more
