It's not super convenient on public transit. I had a Lyft credit that was expiring and wanted to try a Cold Stone ice cream cake since I'd never had one, dismissing the notion immediately as too expensive. An unexpected paying gig made me decide to finally try one so I went. Staff was friendly and they're right on top of online orders since my item was ready when they said it would be. The location itself was clean and not crowded but I didn't like a random woman with a child panhandling and assuming I was going to buy ice cream for her kid when I said I had no cash and never made that particular offer. Being accosted like that was not cool so if this woman has done this to others visiting this location the staff needs to be made aware of it. I realized the cake itself wasn't really for me but I'm glad this location exists and that I was able to have an ice cream cake to try one for myself. FYI, the large size cake is a lot for one person and will likely last a while if you have a smaller stomach. read more

Super disappointed with the service. We called about 30 minutes ahead to make sure that Coldstone was open and they said yes but only for delivery or pick up on Seamless. We ordered on seamless and about 25 minutes later we go to pick it up. There are 3 people working behind the counter. When my sister goes in and asked about the order the man behind the counter was rude, saying "We aren't Dunkin' Donuts" completely uncalled for and unprovoked. So after another 20 minute wait we go back inside and again are met with rudeness. they tell us we have to wait outside while another man was waiting in the lobby... wow okay. I stayed inside and waited another 10 minutes and finally my order was done. I understand that there is a pandemic going on and that it can be stressful, but there is no reason for the staff to be rude off the bat... And if they were that busy they could have let us know that when we called almost an hour before. Definitely won't be returning to this location and i don't recommend that anyone reading this goes here. Try Van Leeuwen's or OddFellows, fresh home made ice cream with no attitude. read more

Haven't been here in a long time and was really looking forward to it. I always get cheesecake with brownie bits in it ever since Ben and Jerry's stop making it. I got a medium waffle bowl with whipped cream. I'm not sure what you think whipped cream constitutes but whatever was laid on top of my $9.00 concoction was so artificial tasting it ruined the whole thing.

This is a new store filled with friendly staff. Came in on a rainy Saturday night after discovering the other Astoria location has been closed down. This location in the heart of Astoria, on Steinway, is a large store filled with ice cream,happy kids and their parents. After a quick wait, and using hand gestures ( I have no voice) I was able to get a quart size of the lobster bisque. For $21.00 I can say it's worth it. When I'm feeling better, I'll come back for the ice cream. Parking is a challenge so be patient. read more

I love cold stone but this location is always very VERY hot inside during summer. I dont know why they keep it hot there. Outside was already over 90 degree. They should keep the AC's temperature lower. The large ice cream is almost $10 so for the price I think they can keep the store cool for the customers, right? There ice cream is really good though. I like with chocolate dipped ice cream corn. Yummy! They open late so I can't stop getting my night snack. read more

Cold stone is a life saver So I just had a delicious mint oreo mix ice cream, which was amazing and a hot coffee with it. Mixed the coffee with the ice cream (mmmm) then I left and went to CVS. Like 30 minutes later I realized I didn't have my backpack with me and started freaking. So I called Cold Stone asap and asked if I left it there. Luckily the manager said he saw it and asked how the heck I didn't realize I had it because it's so incredibly heavy... And said he had it behind the counter. He is a life saver and I seriously owe him a lot. My laptop and hard drives and footage I shoot for my work was in there. I'd be totally screwed if I lost that. Cold stone is great and the manager is the best manager I've interacted with in service and niceness in Nyc! Thank you read more

I stopped by this Cold Stone Location for a Strawberry Passion ice cream cake for Mother's Day. The service was fine, but when I got home and cut into the cake it was stale, hard and there was an after taste that was unpleasant to the palate. I bought this for an event and all the guest were alarmed by the taste. I hope that none of my guest will become ill due to Cold Stone's lack of quality control. This is the first time I've ever experienced this and I hope that Cold Stone will make an effort to ensure that this doesn't happen to future patrons. Furthermore, the cold stone website doesn't allow me to make a complaint on the site, I'm not sure if it's servers are down, but the complaint page will not load. read more

This is my first time here, and I have to say it's a great place to go when the temperature is almost 90 degrees like yesterday afternoon. Sorry that this review is a day late. I had the French vanilla and it was very good. They have a nice selection of ice cream and sorbets and frozen yoghurt to choose from. The prices are not bad. I paid less than 6 dollars for a big single scoop on a big waffle cone. The scoop is about the size of a Haagen Daz pint. They also mix different flavors of ice cream with hard bits of candy on a cold granite slab. Definitely will visit as long as the weather is nice and hot. read more

The crepes and bubble waffles were great, prepared fresh from the same batter at time of ordering. Since everything is put together there, it took about 15-20 minutes for the order to be ready, which was fine since there are a few seats to wait while it was prepped. The space isn't large inside though they've made it fun with wooden slats in the ceiling and hanging faux greenery. My friends and their kids really enjoyed the desserts so I was glad!

This place is unfortunately not it. Yes there are lots of fruits, but the ice cream is not that…read moregood at all. The crepes are not bad, but the service is rough. We had someone walk in after us get served before us, without an apology. The service is extremely slow, for no good reason at all other than they're wildly understaffed if more than one person is there, but there is no real demand, so they can't really staff multiple people for the high times. It's nice to see family owned businesses operate in NYC and I want to root for this one, but it's not what I'm looking for tbh.

Ice creams are delicious. The service is great especially when I am served by great energy. It's great to sit there but the chairs aren't comfortable for a good ice cream day. Enjoy your ice cream read more

My friend who lives here took me and it did not disappoint. I can't remember exactly what the…read moreflavor I got was called but I know it had chunky crunchy cookie almost like pie crust pieces in it and it was sooooo good. The pieces were actually pretty big which I liked. It was a hot day so it definitely hit the spot too. I would definitely come back to get the same flavor or even try some new ones. When you get inside they have a rope line set up. You can try the different flavors before committing to one. Service was great. They have some booth seats inside you can sit on that are super bouncy sink in status. You have to sit to understand it. They did have AC going and a bathroom.

Delicious ice cream. So glad to have them back open…read more You can sample before you purchase, unless it was the temporary very spicy flavor that requires a waver to be signed due to the strength of the pepper used. The staff was patient and helpful explaining the different flavors when we asked questions. We were able to find seats inside to enjoy our treats. The prices are much higher than they used to be (I understand costs probably have gone way up over the years, especially rent and electricity!) so it's only an occasional treat.

Ever since I tried Cookies N Cream at their Greenpoint, Brooklyn location, I knew I had to check…read moreout the Forest Hills location too! Unfortunately, I didnt enjoy this location as much as Greenpoint. One thing I really liked about the Greenpoint location was that they served warm cookies, which paired nicely with the ice cream. I definitely missed that here because a warm cookies makes a difference. On the plus side, they do let you sample the ice cream flavors before deciding, which I always appreciate. I ended up going with the Cookies and ice cream combo. Another bonus is that they offer you a cash discount. So that's what I did.

Located on one fo the sleepiest corners along Ditmars, Layers Bakeshop has made a name for itself…read morefor being one of the only late night dessert options in Astoria. Folks who are looking to satisfy their sweet tooth can score a cupcake, pastries and all of the above until midnight every night. While they utilize the natural lighting during the daytime, the evening is drowned out by this florescent lighting that makes me less interested in dining in. There is plenty of seating but just as awkward as the lighting is also the lukewarm service. It was like a late trip to the office, where the lighting was still on and not-so-theolled colleagues there to greet us. Thankfully their dessert selection is always on point. Their endless variety of cupcakes range from red velvet to biscoff and their custom cakes are impressive as well. True to their name, the "layered" sundaes are a perfect "dessert in a cup" option. Nutella and lotus are popular ones but the galaxy is the one to get. I've been told the brownies and donuts are also good, but I will reserve that for my next (late night) visit.

The staff were lovely too! Very attentive. We got a chocolate chip, a pistachio passion fruit, and a fingertip cookie. They were all delicious with that doughy chewy quality to the middle. There could've been a bit more pistachio flavor to that cookie, but I was really in it for the passion fruit interior anyway. I also got a brown sugar iced latte that was sweet and delicious. I noticed two things that particularly impressed me. First, the staff accidentally made a hot bev instead of iced. They immediately made the iced version and allowed the family to keep the hot version as well. Second, someone saw that they had a particular cookie online and while it wasn't in the display case, they had the dough ready to go and baked it on the spot.

All their cookies look amazing Cute shop with gifts and cards from other businesses. Great idea…read more They have 1 gf cookie option here which is the oatmeal cookie called the G.O.A.T. The flavors were amazing, a little sweet, but hey it's a cookie. I loved the texture/softness too. I hope they expand to more gf flavors, so all you gf people please visit. A must visit while in Astoria-Ditmars.

Never quite thought I would be trying a boozy ice cream, but why not?…read more This spot is really vibing. Bright inside and plenty of choices depending in what liquor you prefer. As a peanut butter aficionado, I chose the ice cream infused with Chica~Chida. It;s bold fusion of peanut butter and agave. I made the perfect choice for me! The ice cream it self is tasty and a the scoop was just the right size portion. The ice cream is infused with 5% alcohol. Just enough for a small buzz. The employee was very great , I was offered a chance to try some flavors before I seen the peanut butter one. Yep, done deal then I did ! Parking is street parking and pretty decent around this area . There are also an outdoor table , great for groups.

The Good: - The space is cute and nicely air conditioned- offering both indoor and outdoor seating. - They offer both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options. - The employee was helpful and kind. - the flavor offering for the alcoholic ice cream was creative. The Not-So-Good - Very expensive for what it is. I paid $10 for ONE scoop of alcoholic ice cream in a cup (not even a cone). - Limited flavor options - The ice cream is just so-so Overall: Maybe I'm not the target customer for this establishment as I see the product as filling a non-existent void. I don't need alcohol in my ice cream so out of the gate I don't really see the point of paying for over priced ice cream that's not very good just because it contains alcohol. In my opinion, your money would be way better spent going into any of the other wonderful gelato or ice cream places in the area and having way better ice cream and a much larger variety of options, for cheaper.

Astoria feels like the right next step. Like the other shops, this location is spacious, with an abundance of pastries and sweet treats to satisfy your cravings. Though most of their desserts tend to be a tad too sugary for me, I do really like their various types of miniature cookies. My favorite is probably their double chocolate chip. Prices are slightly above average, but the quality is also unmistakable. For a sweet treat once in a while, not a big deal.

I remember not liking whatever pastry I got back then so never came back ..but was in the mood for something sweet and didn't want to go too out of the way. I ordered a choc donut & apple fritter. When I got home I heated up the fritter for 8 seconds. It was the best apple fritter I think I've ever had! Some don't even have apples in it but this one had some apple chunks in the middle. So good! A couple days later I remembered I got the donut lol so warmed it up and had half - omg this was amazing too! Will def go back more often now!

I'm really disappointed by my experience this morning…read more I've lived in the neighborhood for over a decade, and my fiancé and I have been loyal customers for years. We often bring visiting family and friends here for breakfast and pastries, and we even pick up pastries to bring out to the island for Sunday dinners and holidays. We were also planning to order our wedding pastries from here later this year, which makes this even more upsetting. This morning, I arrived at 0654 and I waited outside in cold, muggy weather until the 0700 opening. There were no signs posted about holiday hours, and nothing online indicated a different opening time. A few minutes after 0700, I asked the man at the counter whether they were opening at 0700 or 0800, and he told me it would be 0800. I understood and was willing to come back later. I quickly ran to another store and was walking back home around 0710. As I walked by, I saw a woman run in and be served right away. The same employee who had just told me they weren't open was now helping her, boxing up pastries and sending her on her way. I went inside and asked if I could place an order as well, but I didn't get a clear response. At that point, I was so upset that I just grabbed a 2lb pre-wrapped plate of cookies and left. I completely understand having holiday hours and I was happy to come back at 0800. But being turned away, only to see someone else immediately helped moments later, felt unfair and disrespectful. It's also hard to ignore the possibility that bias may have played a role. As a queer-presenting person, being turned away while a more traditionally feminine-presenting customer was immediately welcomed and helped did not sit right with me. I truly hope that wasn't the case, but the experience left me feeling uncomfortable and unwelcome.
