Since I was craving something sweet, we decided to stop by Cold Stone. As soon as we got to the door, we noticed the "No Apple Pay or Tap to Pay" sign. With most people using their phones to pay, we thought that was definitely an inconvenience to their customers. For a Saturday evening, it was pretty busy so it was a bit of a wait but after a few minutes we were able to order. I decided on the "Love It" size and ordered the French Vanilla Ice Cream w/ Cookie Dough, Brownie and Oreo, which is my go-to. I love that they load the cup with an abundance of ice cream but I hate that you can't put the lid on without the ice cream spilling over. Either way, it was great and it hit the spot. Overall, the staff was great and the inside was pretty clean. If I'm ever in the area, I'd definitely return. read more

This place is fantastic, especially when I have my granddaughter with me for a visit. The staff is friendly and efficient, especially when there is a line of people waiting to place their orders. I would definitely say that it's kid friendly here and certainly a crowd pleaser with the little ones. read more

Cold Stone Creamery - Outside signage - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

I remember back in the day hahaha cold stone used to be friendly, welcoming and fun to visit. Not anymore. It doesn't seem to be only this location though, matter of fact is not a cold stone issue only. It is getting harder and harder to find good customer service. While there was a huge line this specific night we visited, the line was going out and around the door. Workers were working at a comfortable pace without a care in the world. No, I am not saying they should have been hustling and omg rushing and losing their minds, but at least care enough to acknowledge the people in front of you waiting for service while you go and put something away or pretend to mix the ice cream and even it out for the third time. No one was getting greeted or acknowledged, not even once they go to the counter. When one of the employees finally decided they had mixed the ice cream enough, or scrapped the cold stone enough times and refilled the half filled cookie container for the third time (2 cookies at the time) they would just ask "what can I get you" no hello, no thanks for waiting, what would you like? I don't know. The only person we had a good interaction with was the lady who jump on the register to check us out and at this point I felt like I needed to hurry up and go as to not hold up the line. I regret not getting her name to acknowledge her. Also, maybe someone could answer this but, they don't sing anymore when tipped... is that a company thing or just they don't do it anymore? The location in town center doesn't sign either so I was curious. Is kinda like when sonic stop with the servers in roller blades... sad :( I wish they would bring it back. read more

Cold Stone Creamery - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

Absolute rip off. Took my two year old for a birthday ice cream and one scoop was $7.45 coz they don't do a children's portion.

What better way to cool down then with Cold Stone Creamery? I went in with the anticipation of ordering the Reese's Peanut Butter Ice Cream Cup. Sadly, they were sold out. Only reason why I scored it 4/5. I ordered a smoothie this time around and I was not disappointed. Typically, I order one of their specialty ice creams but last minute changed my mind. Now, weekends are BUSY. Expect to wait. Not a lot of sitting area. Inside dinning is still not available. But they have outdoor tables....which are usually occupied. Parking is horrible. Plenty of places to eat and shop near by so parking can be scarce. I typically park near the main entrance for ease of entering and exiting. read more

Cold Stone Creamery - Strawberry/mango smoothie and strawberry ice cream! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

This was my very first time ever having cold stone. We waiting in line for 40 minutes I was shocked. But they also had a new employee that was still learning a lot. We ordered two small chocolate cups, Cookie Mintster, and a strawberry banana smoothie. $30 The kids really enjoyed their ice cream they gave it a thumbs up! The Cookie Minster was good lots of flavors in one. The large ice cream was melting waiting for the smoothie. The smoothie was the best I would get it there before any other smooth place! The flavors were sooo good! One of the tables was dirty with napkins all over it( which is understandable with a non stop line) Parking is a little hectic m. But also has lots of other shops in the area! read more

I didn't personally order anything last night (Summertime), but my family did. I used to frequent this location faithfully years ago when I worked nearby...I loved the apple pie like ice cream with all the fixings: vanilla ice cream, butter pecan ice cream, pecans, walnuts etc. Wuuuu, the memories! Well one thing that has remained the same, the steady flow of patrons. I last visited this past Summer and the line was almost out of the door. My family was pleased with their order. While it isn't the best (milkshake and ice cream) they have ever had, they said they would return if asked. The pricing isn't too bad and sometimes you can catch a deal/coupon or two in the local newspaper. The service is pretty decent, but keep in mind everything is crafted to order. Check it out... Parking can be a headache... tight lot and a lot of other shopping in the area and they all share the spaces. Have fun and enjoy life :) read more

I was so impressed. Obviously the ice cream is delicious but what blew me away the most was how great the customer service was. They worked quickly and made our order perfectly , even with the changes I asked for. Plus, when I asked for a lid to take it to-go they were helpful in giving me an extra large cup to store my ice cream in to prevent any leaking. Highly recommended visiting this Cold Stone! read more

Cold Stone Creamery - Cookie Doughn't You Want Some Love It - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

This place has gotten better and have other employees in the weekend that are not lazy like i've experienced on the previous occasions i've gone. The new ice cream this month is the yellow oreo cake and circus cookie flavors. It was quite crowded today but they had three people working to get the orders for our group of ten. I love ordering the cheesecake factory with half cheesecake/cake batter ice cream. It has a good balance of fruit and lightly sweetened. The seating here can be inconvenient for big groups but we still manage to grab extra chairs and come together. The taste is always good as far as consistency and flavors for their ice creams. You can redeem $5 off orders after accumulating 50points by inputting your number in their rewards systems. read more

Service was great! Very friendly staff. Fast service as well! The ice cream is always amazing, so I look for associates that seem happy. They did not disappoint. It is a tad bit pricy but everything is right now. Three cups were over $23 but I understand and the quality is worth it. The only reason I can't give 5 stars is the womens room. They need to take some time and make it look less like a gross gas station restroom. read more

Cold Stone Creamery - Yum! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

Well, that was strange. We just asked for a top for our "gotta have it" ice cream. The girl took like 4 scoops off the top, put it back on the counter and it was just there. Like cool, we paid for that though. Thanks, I think? It was just a weird move. Like she could have just handed us a lid. Maybe she thought it would all sploosh out if we did it. I don't know, I think she still should've given us the rest that we had literally just paid for and watched her put back on the counter in a small cup. What?? I'm sure this tastes good, but okay... read more

This is a neat place to get ice cream, but it is pricey. The ice cream is absolutely delicious though and made fresh. You can create your own mix ins or just get a signature ice cream. They mix up your ice cream in front of you. Depending on who works, they sing when they get a tip which is so fun. Sometimes the workers aren't really into the singing, but it is fun when they get into it. My favorites: Founders Favorite, Strawberry Cheesecake, and Strawberry Shortcake read more

I'll start with we absolutely love Cold Stone Creamery - we have our must order ( the apple pie a la mode and the chocolate devotion). This time we decided to drop in here, we currently stay out in Virginia Beach and were in Chesapeake doing shopping, movies, etc. This location was truly a disappointment. We knew the lady helping us was new when she asked if this flavor (the apple pie) was something they really had. Unfortunately, those that were working with her barely acknowledged her or wanted to help her. Eventually, she put it all together. Next I ordered my chocolate devotion creation with another lady and lets just say she added peanut butter (hint...its not in that creation). I mentioned to her that peanut butter wasn't part of the creation. She then scooped out some of the peanut butter and added chocolate to the top. Needless to say when we got home and I ate the Chocolate Devotion Creation it was more like a Reeces Cup creation. If offered the opportunity, I would recommend going to another location. Seems the people that were there were there to be there, not actually work. The employees that were working were unprofessional and honestly seemed like they didn't care. read more

Not anything amazing, but far from terrible. Just walked in ordered got my ice cream and ate it. I can't say it felt personable or memorable but nevertheless, the ice cream was great, place was clean, and I it was empty and quiet at the time so I give the place 3 for service and 4 for quality but a 5 for taste. I just love ice cream and this is never a bad place when you have a serious sweet tooth. read more

Stopped into cold stone to get my son ice cream. This was his first time so he was happy to pick and mix his choices. I just stuck with strawberry ice cream. Nothing to rave about I will bring him again if he wants to attend. read more

Cold Stone Creamery - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

Let me start off by saying the customer service was great. There were a lot of people working and it was busy, and all but one of the staff were professional and engaging with customers (the only male staff member working seemed like he would rather be anywhere else). Now for the not so good. The ice cream was practically melted and was running out of the scoop. I watched as my shake was being made and it wasnt much thicker than the milk already in the blender container. When I get the shake it wasnt a shake it was practically milk, it had little to no consistency to it. For $10 im not expecting the world but at least a milk shake thats not made with ice cream thats melted coming out of the tub. The customer service is really the only reason why there were two stars instead of one. read more

This Cold Stone location has never failed me in all the years I have been coming here. The person helping me usually is friendly if it's not busy. When it is busy, like a Friday night, they aren't in the most bubbly mood. I get working in food can be stressful, but I feel bad for the kids who are excited to get their ice cream and to those customers that had to wait a long time in line when the workers speak unenthusiastically. We should all try to be in a good mood when there's ice cream around! read more

Cold Stone Creamery - Like it size cake batter ice cream with Oreos and rainbow sprinkles - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

This location always has awesome customer service. I noticed though, that every time I, or anyone else, leaves them a tip, they bust out into song. I always feel bad, because they low key sound like they hate it, so when my bf and I go in, we pay them NOT to sing, hahaha. Just whisper "you don't have to" as you put your tip in the jar, I'm sure they'd appreciate it. ANYWAYS - their ice cream is pretty decent. On a scale of creamy, "real" tasting ice cream to that cheap, super market foamy stuff, it's kind of in the middle for me. Does anyone else know what I'm talking about?! Their signature creations make up for it though! They have so many awesome combinations. Today, I tried the Cheesecake Fantasy: Cheesecake Ice cream with graham cracker pie crust, blueberries, and strawberries. I don't think the fruit they used was fresh (the strawberries looked like a syrup), but I liked it regardless! The graham cracker part was my favorite though. My bf got the Oreo Overload: Sweet cream ice cream with chocolate chips, double the Oreo cookies, and chocolate fudge. ALSO awesome! Their sizes come in Like it (Small), Love it (Medium), and Gotta Have it (Large). They offer a bunch of different add ins if you want to make your own and stuff like waffle cones/chocolate dipped waffle cones. They've got a frozen yogurt section in the back too!! I think I remember seeing $0.49 per oz. read more

Cold Stone Creamery - Love it Cheesecake Fantasy (left) and Love it Oreo Overload (right) - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

This star rating is only based on the cleanliness and the unprofessional behavior of the employees. It was a busy Saturday night with the line out the door and the cashier wants to socialize with her boyfriend instead of serve customers. She went to the back to get her phone and show him a photo...wth! There was no manager there, it was all kids with dirty containers everywhere. They were so unorganized. However, the ice cream is always good. I won't be back to this cold stone though. read more

Cold Stone Creamery - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

I use to love coming here and bringing my kids to get ice cream. This time it was a bit sad. The kids working here seemed lifeless and almost unhappy behind the counter. I am sure COVID isn't helping, but no friendly greeting, no thank you, nothing. My kids weren't even impressed with their ice creations. It use to be fun for them to watch them mix their ice cream together etc, but there was so little interaction and it wasn't like the place was busy when we showed up. We will come back again next time and see if it is any better. Maybe we came on an off day. read more

Took my grandson's to Cold Stone last night. The place was so busy. I noticed all these young people working and smiling. It was absolute chaos, but they kept their smiles and kept working. I think only one was over the age of 18. I was so impressed by how they kept it together. I have worked retail for over 20 years, and it's sometimes hard to stay positive, when you don't have a minute to breathe. The manager should be proud of this team. Way to go! read more

Cold Stone Creamery - My own concoction. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

Not a fan of this location. Maybe they're cutting costs, but our entire family ordered ice cream (4 people) and our cups were only about half full ... or half empty, haha... when they were handed to us. We love Cold Stone... the ice cream tasted great, but will choose another location from now on if we are going to pay $20 for 4 ice creams. read more

It has very good customer service even though the line was long and it was getting close to closing time and they looked very tired the employees that took my other still was nice and helped me out even though I had told her the wrong other last minute I think her name was keevi because they kept calling her that. read more

Horrible experience I came in last night and was not greeted,then the young lady who took my order had an attitude on her face the entire time. I feel like if I'm paying this much for ice cream I should at least get decent service,in all my years I have never had an experience like this.looks like I will be taking my business elsewhere read more

Terrible on the website it says "yes we have rolled ice cream" did not have rolled ice cream a very dirty restaurant terrible service

Cold stone ice cream! Who doesn't love ice cream on a nice warm summer day. The smell of fresh baked cones is so inviting. As expected there's always a line and I finally figured out why! Well people have to sample EVERY ice cream before they decide which one they want! Jeeeezze... All flavors I had so far has been pretty good. I went for the mint chocolate chip ice cream today and they added plenty of chips. Side note to Yelpers: when you check in, you get free waffle cone. Well they wasn't trying to honor it because they didn't have no way to take off for that coupon in their system. Huh? With a little persistent I got it anyways so, FYI for those who might have a little trouble with it. read more

Cold Stone Creamery - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

I frequently visit this location so I would say I have a pretty good feel for their customer service and how they work. Staff is almost always friendly and I can always count on them to have my usual flavors of mint with Oreo mix-in and my boyfriend's cake batter with sprinkles mix-in. It can get pretty busy in there but they are usually well staffed and things run fairly smoothly. We usually get our ice cream To-go and they offer lids for the ice cream and a bag so that's good! The only time I was kind of upset with them was when they gave me a really burnt waffle bowl... I didn't notice it until I got home because they just put it in the bag but they should just throw out the extremely burnt ones. One tip I have for the business is that they should have one person making your order while another person stays on register and rings up the orders. That happened once when I went recently and it really made a difference in my experience! read more

I usually come here when I have my sweet tooth craves, you will never ever go wrong with their Signature Oreo Overload. Their Oreo Overload consist of Sweet Cream Ice Cream with Chocolate Chips, Fudge Syrup and of Course Oreos... Oh So Delicious!! I usually get my Ice Cream with their Waffle Bowl, which I definitely recommend to get if you like Waffle Cones it's less messy!! Service is Wonderful here, so Friendly and man they definitely hook it up here with them Oreos!! Don't forget to tip, they'll sing a cute Tip song for you!! I Scream for Ice Cream read more

Stopped by at this location for a quick sweet tooth fix. The line was so long but the staff moved everyone alone fairly quickly. The staff was not the friendliness but they were efficient. The most interesting part of this visit was that the staff signs a fun song when they are tipped. The ice-cream here is good and rich. I have experienced the bad service other people posted. They could use one person at the register only and others mixing. It is unsanitary to exchange money and then mix ice-cream without washing your hands. read more

Cold Stone Creamery - Just a small view of choices - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

Terrible Service - do they even have a manager there???? I ordered a Triple Gotta Have It for pickup and I waited extra time before picking up because I knew from past experience that they are slow. When I got there, the girl looked at my order, said nothing, and went to the back. Then she came out and started helping someone else. Then a young man started making my order BUT he only put enough "mixings" in for one serving instead of three. I asked him to put more in but I still ended up with Chocolate ice cream with a little coconut in it instead of the Germanchoclatcake that I was supposed to get. He just handed me the bag - no apology, nothing. VERY DISSAPOINTED! I'm going back to Dairy Queen - they are cheaper, and they'll actually talk to you. read more

This review is long overdue from my visit at the end of January. I came in at 4:30pm and ordered a milkshake. I had paid for my order and waited for the milkshake to get made. The person behind me in line also ordered a milkshake. They received their drink before me which I thought was very odd. Next thing I know one of the employees comes over and tells me they ran out of milk and couldn't make my milkshake. WHAT?! They offered me ice cream in a bowl but I declined and asked for a refund. The cashier proceeds to tell me she can't do a refund. I was told I had to wait until 5pm for a shift lead to come in to give me the refund. First of all, you should know your supply of milk is running low. Check before you take orders you can't fill. How hard is that? Second, you shouldn't have a customer wait half an hour for a refund. Third, two customers order the same thing.. the first person in line should be taken care of first. Inside the floors were sticky and the napkin holders were empty. In the end, I waited half an hour for one of the employees to run to the store to buy a gallon of milk to make my order. No apologies for my having to wait either. Not even a "have a nice day" when I left. Unprofessional. I will never return. read more

Cold Stone is THE place to go for an ice cream cake. We usually surprise the choco lovers in our family with Cold Stone's signature cake Midnight Delight. Last night though the birthday diva requested something different--Cookies & Creamery. Ahhh, yeah...soooo good! Note: when you get the cake to your destination, allow enough time before serving to let it stand at room temperature. Otherwise getting the knife through it may be a little challenging. I also need to mention the young gentleman who added the birthday message on our cake was very friendly. read more
