10/10 will buy again and again! I tried cold stone years ago. I didn't like it! It was right next to Teriyaki Grill! So, I said why not dessert. I got a kiddy scoop and a red Valentines cone. The ice cream was very good. The cone delicious. I can't wait to return. I ordered online. When I walked in greeted right away. By two workers that were cleaning the store. It was very clean. I told them my name and both of term went to get my order! Such much love thank you all! read more

Stopped in on a summer night. I sign up for the rewards and I have an offer on my rewards account "BOGO" I was purchasing a "like it size" the reward states as written buy 1 like it or love it size and get one FREE of equal or lesser value. Clearly it states that I would receive a free "like it" should I want to use my reward. Buy ONE get ONE So why am I at the register with a clear reward on my app purchasing a "like it size" and everyone is confused. To make matters even more interesting now I have 3 staff members telling me I have to buy 2. ?!? Clearly the staff will need to review reward benefits. One gal, thought I was trying to argue and tried to tell me about "opinions" LOL if you READ you will see there is a clear reward and it applies to my purchase it's not a matter of opinion. But here is my opinion don't crowd me number 1. Number 2. READ the reward it made all the sense and didn't call for 3 people to crowd me for a simple bogo. I will leave on a positive the staff were moving the line until the hiccup. read more

The teenage women there are just rude, made my stay sad. I like the ice cream but not best expirence.

We have ordered several times from them and each time what we ordered and received was really good.

22503 Mission Blvd Hayward, CA 94541 (Mission Blvd x A Street) This is the Cold Stone Creamery in downtown Hayward, in the Lucky Shopping Center. I was in the area having my truck serviced, and had the unique opportunity to visit this place right when they opened at 11am. I don't go to Cold Stone Creamery locations too often. Their "super premium" ice cream is rich, decadent, and high in calories. But on a sunny Saturday, I decided to drop by and maybe try their coffee ice cream. It was 11:05 am and there was already a line! Only one young lady was working behind the counter. She told me she would serve me in a moment. Everything appeared fully stocked. Lots of cones and waffle cups. The place was clean and shiny. There's several small tables inside. When it was my turn, I asked the young lady what's good. She suggested all kinds of combinations depending on what I like. I decided to get: Regular Chocolate & Coffee, with coconut blended in. She offered me a free sample scoop of any flavor. I picked mint, and it was placed on top of the frosty blended ice cream (see photo). I gave her a $2 tip. While I was waiting, I asked to use the restroom. She came out to unlock it. It was clean and well stocked. The ice cream was super creamy and rich. The mint ice cream was easy to eat. But the blended coffee/ chocolate ice cream was almost frozen solid. It took awhile to finish eating it. It's okay, ice cream should be eaten slowly. It's a comfort food, it makes you feel good. Overall, I had a very nice experience here. Customer service and quality of ice cream get an A+ & 5-star score. I was told the ice cream is made on-site. Free parking in lot. read more

I had not been to this location in sometime. Upon arriving I was greeted. The store was clean and organized , good lighting. Both Rahul & Gaby were pleasant folks. Gaby ensured my ice creams stayed cold until she finished my order. Rahul also was attentive. Both of them made my son and I enjoy our time in the store. The ice creams were well mixed ! I would definitely come here again. Thank you Gaby & Rahul read more

This is my favorite icecream shop. They have lot of icceream flavors and they make icecream fresh in store. Very friendly service too their tall dark and delicious cake is so good. read more

Recently customized my own birthday cake and purchased it from here and while the taste was good, it wasn't what I was expecting. It's an ice cream shop so should my expectations be high? No, and they weren't. However, it should've been 2 layers of cake and 2 even layers of ice cream but instead I received 2 layers of cake, 1 layer of ice cream, and 1 SUPER THIN layer of ice cream at the top accompanied with whipped cream. The layer was almost non existent which is not what they advertise or how they have their in store available cakes done. I felt a bit cheated out and it also sucked because the ratio of cake to ice cream was not it. While I enjoy the idea of customizing your entire cake, it unfortunately isn't as great as it seems as they won't make it with love as they do the signature cakes available in their freezers. I'll stick to their options if I decide to return next time read more

I've been to the Cold Stone in Hayward a few times now, and it's been a good experience every time. The ice cream is fresh and creamy, and they don't go light on the mix-ins, which I appreciate. The staff is friendly and works pretty fast, even when it gets busy. Everyone I've interacted with has been polite and patient, and the store itself is usually clean and organized. It's a reliable spot when you're craving something sweet or need a quick dessert for friends or family. Nothing overhyped--just consistently good ice cream and service. Would definitely come back. read more

THEIR ICE CREAM HAS MOLD. If I could give 0 stars I would the girl that helped me should have noticed!! and she was rude! looked like she didn't even want to be there. read more

Today my autistic son went inside of this terrible business. He is high functioning can speak and tell you what he wants. He is 23 years old and likes to go inside the stores his self so I sit out in front and wait for him as I sat out there for over 20 minutes and he was the only one in there when he first went in. I started to wonder what was taking so long I went inside and saw that they made one milkshake for him 25 minutes later I asked him why did it take so long? They literally let everybody inside the store order ahead of him. He is special needs, and the guy that works. There was incredibly rude with him and when I tried to speak to him about it, he was incredibly rude and refused to give me his manager's information. I will never go back to the store again I'm sorry you hate your job so much. You have to treat people with disabilities. Terrible to make yourself feel better read more

Ice cream is very good customer service is not as good. Service can be better specially with actually hearing the customer.

Been many times to this location. I've found it to be a good interaction most of the time. Sometimes its very busy and a long wait. If you see a line - I would consider going elsewhere. This place is crazy popular. I've seen everybody and their dog here. Even the Hayward police. Workers here do what they can but for whatever reason lines can sometimes get really out of hand. I guess everbody drinks at all the bars downtown and then gets the munchies? Or is this a result of having Cookies so close? I don't know. I like the bakery smell when you walk in. It suggests that they bake or cook their own waffle cones. Its a special place. I'm not all that into the special cold stone mushing ice cream around - but their pre made cakes and ice cream cookie sandwiches interest me more. There is a freezer near the front door and you can quickly pick up something special. There is a new cake shop across from Cookies but I think you'd be better off grabbing something here. Cakes have special themes that will please little kids for a birthday party. I think this place is overkill for adults. Do you really need some teenagers to mush around your ice cream and mix in toppings? read more

I experienced such great customer service when I visited Cold Stone Creamery on Thanksgiving Day. I ordered two ice cream cakes for pick up, and before handing my cakes to me, a male worker asked if I wanted him to write anything on the cakes. I said no because I didn't pay extra for such and I didn't want him to do extra work on a holiday. He told me that he'd do it free of charge and that he would love to do so. How could I say no? I didn't take a picture because the cakes were cut into and devoured as soon as I placed them on our dinner table, but the writing was beautiful and the cakes were delicious. Thank you for your kindness!!! read more

Always loved me some cold stone ice cream. Last night I took the kids here, my daughter got the cookies and cream. They mixed Oreos in right in front of her I thought that was cool. Then my son tried the strawberry, and I got the banana pudding ice cream which was phenomenal !!! I highly recommend it if you like banana pudding, it has cool whip and cookies with chunks of fresh banana. Soo good, definitely a must try. They also had a lucky charms ice cream which looked delicious and might try next time read more

Yesterday it was so hot I just had to treat myself to a Gotta have it with cake, batter, chocolate and banana with marshmallows and toasted almonds. The service was excellent. The employee that helped me she was sweet, attentive, kind, and really packed a nice ice cream for me and my grandkids they enjoyed it the ambience was also great. It's pretty crowded in the air but the staff handled it and took care of everyone in a nice timely fashion. I'll definitely be going back soon probably in a few days but I love their flavors. Their cakes are also good. I had two years in a row ice cream cake that I created, I should've got one last year because I let someone else do it and I was disappointed I should've stuck with coldstone right while I'm out. Enjoy your day. Go get you some cold stone today tomorrow and the next day. read more

Pumpkin Bread batter ice cream, starting the ice cream base, milkshake consistency, Graham cracker crumbs like sand, cinnamon, Carmel syrup, Betty crocker vanilla frosting. Well, liquid shake created. Staff was OK. Obviously, these seasonal flavors suck. Fix is simple, but Coldstone creamery always falls short. Real Pumpkin Bread folded in with some candied pecans and whipped real cream with a cinnamon ginger ice cream. That will never happen looking at the Carmel Apple ice cream canned apple pie filling gross. The push to end false advertising by restaurant chains needs to change. Spending money on crafting food sinage needs to be put on making their products. Love it is really leave it. Will support other local ice cream shops. read more

Fast and friendly service. I literally want a Mud Pie Mojo as part of my last meal. I do wish they had a size smaller than enormous lol

Ice cream was good and the service was not too bad either. Huge crowd, but they served the line pretty quick. There were plenty of tables. Friendly crowd waiting in line. Plenty of convenient parking. Not too far off the freeway. I discovered this place driving from stoneridge Mall in Pleasanton back to oakland. Google found the place for me and got me there safely. The ambiance was noisy and a bit cluttered, but all in all it worked. read more

Everybody craves about Cold Stone's ice cream cakes, so I had to try them out. I ordered online a create your own mini ice cream cake with fudge and almond mixed in the coffee ice cream, and chocolate frosting. The closest Cold Stone location to me is in Hayward and the pick up location said "inside the Lucky's", which I thought was weird, but went with it. A few days later (when it was time for pick up), I went to Lucky's on Mission and asked the lady behind the bakery if they normally have Cold Stone cakes made here. She was confused and told me that must be wrong! Little did I know that there's a Cold Stone in the same lot as Lucky's! Pick up location was incorrect (hope they change that on their site)! Once I found the actual Cold Stone, pick up went rather quickly. When we had the cake later that evening, it was a bit decadent for my liking. I thought it was cool to be able to create a flavor of my choice, but if I ever go with another ice cream cake, I'll probably choose a different combination. read more

Location stays open late which is great! Too crowded for a pandemic, maybe they should limit it to 2 party's inside at a time. It's great that they have multiple workers but the location isn't too big. No hellos or singing upon tips like before, kind of takes away from the experience and fun. Quality is always great. read more

We have the community appreciation program pamphlet that offered BOGO's, free small sized ice cream, etc. ONLY for this Cold Stone location. The cashier was told to not accept them anymore because according to new management, the coupons were "too complicated." They should have honored the coupons until expiration. We are disappointed. We wasted the money we spent on the pamphlet and we had to pay full price for the two ice creams. read more

Ice cream cupcakes takes like cleaning product !! I am not sure if there was some overspray and cleaning product contaminated the cupcakes but the taste of the cleaner was deeply infused in the cupcakes . At first I thought it was a mint flavor from the bitter taste and slight burn in my mouth but it was actually the cleaning spray! The cupcakes do not come in mint flavor ! Be aware and stay away from here . Thank goodness I took my kids cupcakes away as soon as I realized this taste. My husband also confirmed from smelling the cupcakes it smelled like Lysol spray or something . Was this intentional... or accidental? What has this world come to that we actually have to ask that question? read more
