This place made me miss my kid's entire birthday party. It's ran by knuckle dragging adolescents. I pre ordered a birthday cake for pick up, when i arrived no one had a clue where it was. After being told they may "find it" I was told that someone forgot to make it. They offered to make it within the next 20 minutes, I let them know I needed to drive three girls to their birthday party and would come back for the cake. I got a call 30 minutes later saying that the cake could not be made because my order did not come in in time. After finally tracking down and speaking to the manager, she told me there was a "glitch in the system" and that my order actually never came in. None of this could possibly be true, being as my receipt was in the shop when I arrived. They all acknowledged that my order had arrived at the store, but no one bothered making it. Avoid this place at all cost. While I was waiting around a woman arrived asking for a dairy free option, the girl behind the counter said she did not know if they had one, and offered "sugar free". I walked over and pointed out the dairy free option to the woman who came in. I don't work there, but standing there for 10 minutes I was more versed in the produce than their paid employees. Absolute train wreck of a business. I ended up driving frantically to Hyvee to grab last minute cakes as opposed to having nothing. This was supposed to be a too tier dessert treat for a special occasion. What a profound disappointment. read more

I am very disappointed with this place, we thought we were getting a "high end cake" rather than a grocery store cake. my daughter picked out all the flavors for her birthday. The cake was 80$ we pre-paid and we're to pick it up after 4:30 we showed up to pick the cake up at 5:15 and the had not made it. We had tried to call multiple times prior, and the phone was never answered. Can't imagine this place makes money.. Tim Elliott read more

Ice cream was delicious and so was the waffle cone. We sat outside to enjoy the wonderful weather. Service was nice as well. I got the "love it" size and it was enough to feed a family of 3 lol read more

Cold Stone Creamery - Waffle bowl with apple pie ice cream with strawberries and Carmel drizzle on top. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Independence, Missouri

I stopped by this location last night to redeem my birthday offer and for some reason, my phone number suddenly wasn't in the system and the email pulled up without a barcode. I've been a member of the "club" for years now and never had an issue. The woman I believe is the manager said, "Maybe it'll load for your next visit" as if I wouldn't know that's the general Customer Service "kiss off" (not to mention that offer's only good for so many days past your birthday). I asked for a cup to put my overflow ice cream in from the waffle cone that was melting while having to stand there while she faked attempting to be doing something. She gave me the smallest cup and I had to ask for a lid. Some older gentleman came in and they went and sat in the dining area. I thought it was an interview of some sort, but then they started small talking and obviously knew each other outside of a professional setting. The younger "kid" who made my ice cream needs a raise though! He was friendly, enthusiastic, and professional. DEFINITELY the highlight of my night and the only reason I'm not giving this only 1 star! read more

They are pretty good getting our orders together!, food still frozen which is what matters most!!

My friend and I came in to grab some ice cream on our girls day out. Around 2p on 12/11. When we came in, the guy who was working immediately shouted to me "OMG you look just like my old highschool math teacher". We just kind of laughed and I said "I definitely wasn't". Then he accused me of lying to him. Then we asked for a sample of a flavor. As he got it, he said "just so you know I failed math". I said oh I'm sorry but I definitely wasn't your tutor". Then we went to order our "Love it" size ice cream with our 2 different flavors. He cut us off to tell us that we can only choose 1 flavor per order and if we wanted 2 different flavors, we would have to order them separately. I got confused as when we looked on ordering them online before hand, it gave us the option for multiple flavors. He told us it was because the owner wanted to charge the customers per flavor instead. So we ended up just leaving. And when we went to go walk out the door, he shouted again "I still failed math". So we got in the car, called the location on the plaza to see if it was a company wide decision, and he said no. So we went there instead. read more

Waited an hour (short line) to get ice cream. The red headed boy working was trying to move fast and help people but the mixed girl was horrible. She was on her phone, FaceTiming people while in front of the register (checking someone out and talking on her iphone)! Absolutely ridiculous. On top of that my ice cream had random stuff in it. They made people wait so long that they were turning customers down before they were even closed. Mainly because the girl wasn't working! I work in the food service and this kind of customer service would NEVER be allowed in the workplace. She needs to be fired immediately. read more

The manager refused a valid coupon that I had and showed to her. I'm glad I got it out of my system because $12 for the larger size is crazy. I was pretty upset that I was dismissed and my coupon was ignored, I should t have gotten the ice cream but the new hit that had made it for me was working her butt off. Never again. Do not go to this location. read more

Quick service. Amazing ice cream. We ordered four different ice creams and all were amazing. It was busy after the royals game, but the wait was not long! read more

I tried the new No Limit to the Reese's. It was really great, but next time I'd try substituting something for the brownies. When the brownies gets mixed in, they get very crumbly which makes for a bit of an odd texture. read more

If i could give this no stars i would. They served me my drink looking like this after asking me if i wanted whip cream. If i knew it would look like this i wouldn't have got any. It came out of the side of a busted bag. While the THREE workers were struggling, their manager was walking around on Facebook! This is unacceptable and a drink looking like this shouldn't be served. Wasn't worth my $8 and i won't be back! read more

Cold Stone Creamery - oreo Milk & OREO Cookies - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Independence, Missouri

This location has a new General Manager who really cares about the appearance and cleanliness of the store. She is very active with her staff and very friendly to her customers making them feel welcome. This is a location I would strongly recommend to anybody wanting to have some delicious Coldstone ice cream! As a whole it deserves a strong A ! read more

The service and the ice cream were not good. First they messed up my order, started scooping the wrong flavor. They didn't add my toppings into my order. Paid $20 for two waffle bowls. We told them what we wanted and kept asking because they would forget. I will not come back to this place. The workers were all over the place and did not stick to a single customer, they also had no idea what they were doing nor how to make the specials asked for. read more

I had the most weirdest experience I have ever had. I was the only one waiting in line when I arrived as the clerk was already helping someone else. Right before he finished, another customer walked up behind me. When he was done, he stated "I am helping the customer behind you, not you." He walked to the back and got someone else to help me. It was awkward enough to the point that when I stepped back for another family to look to order, that the customer behind me came up and apologized to me. It would be a stretch to go all "Kevin" and say that some sort of discrimination or something happened here, but it was way out of line and I will not be returning. I have uploaded my receipt from the experience too. read more

Cold Stone Creamery - a receipt for cold stone creamery - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Independence, Missouri

We had not been to a Cold Stone in a long time, and we were excited to have a creamy rich ice cream cone. The two of us were very disappointed in the ice cream (no flavor), the cost (crazy high, over $10 for two plain cones), and the service (they didn't even have change for a twenty when we got to the register). When did CORN SYRUP become an ingredient at CSC? They definitely aren't special anymore. I can buy corn syrup ice cream at the grocery store. We said next time, we will just go across the street to Quik Trip. Two tasty cones for about $3, and they always have change! read more

Ice cream was good. Service was not. There was more playing and screaming coming from the back room then a playground. Said serving water was a major health violation but not having hand towels in restrooms was apparently ok. read more

The best ice cream ever! Even better staff! I walked in with my family and I could not be happier, absolutely made my family and i day. We love coldstone, best experience ever ! Love it read more

Shout out to the girl who a. Didn't give me a receipt b. Was extremely rude for no reason and c. Got my order wrong. Wouldn't you think ordering a cookie dough ice cream with cookie dough in it is self explanatory? I guess not. Also who knew asking for chocolate ice cream in a cup was so hard too? Needless to say I did not receive a cup I received a cone. read more

The Manager Chris Was So Kind‼ I had a problem with my ice cream he was so kind to me and my family

We had an amazing experience at this cold stone. There were two very hard workers behind the counter that made sure a long line was satisfied and taken care of including all of the DoorDash orders they got as well. 10 out of 10 would recommend... Or I guess in yelp terms five out of five stars :-) read more

I don't know enough words to accurately describe the level of disappointment experienced tonight. It's hot right now. Like "I wish I owned an ice cream store" hot. So we went for ice cream right after dinner... obviously. Along with a bunch of other people. Obviously. Let's start with flavor options. Chocolate? No. Vanilla? Sorry, we're out. Ok Fine I'll have the founders favorite in a waffle bowl. Sorry, no waffle bowls. Ok, waffle cone? Luckily they had 3 waffle cones left. It gets better! They then go to make the ice cream... all the ice cream being used is sitting out on the counter instead of the ice cream cooler. So it's more like milkshake than ice cream. It gets better... Cold stone is (was) great because they give you a heaping serving. Well, today they also gave us heaping servings, which immediately melted down the sides of the cups, which they placed on the counter covered in melted ice cream. They weren't out of napkins so I used 15 or so napkins to wipe the milk sauce from the sides of the bowls while they watched me. I wrapped the bowls in several layers of napkins for the ride home, which didn't matter because they immediately soaked into the bowl of milk in my hands and I spent the car ride home letting it pour onto my shirt and lap so that it wasn't a total mess. By the time I got home, the bowls of pecans in milk were so covered in mess and milk soaked napkins that it ended up being a better use of time to throw them away. TLDR : you could go across the street to Menards to get ice cream and you'd have a better experience. read more

Came here on a Friday afternoon, 6/22/2012, with a BOGO coupon. Asked the girl for half Orange Dreamsicle and half Strawberry. She says "We don't have dreamsicle" Me: "Yes, you do, it's right here." Her: "Oh, I haven't worked here in a week. I don't know what's going on." WALKS AWAY without another word. So this guy comes over. Him: "What can I get for you?" (After he had already heard my order because he was standing right there) I tell him again. He takes my flavors to the mixing station and while I'm standing DIRECTLY in front of him watching him mix raspberries into my ice cream, he says to the girl mentioned above: "I feel like crap today." Girl: "Why's that?" Him: "I'm hung over from all the drinking I did last night." Cold Stone Manager: PLEASE talk to your employees about appropriate conversational skills and behaviors while in the presence of customers. Oh, and the raspberries in my ice cream? They were frozen: Crunchy, icy, frozen. read more

Disrespectful to doordash drivers. The workers working on New years completely ignored me and another doordash driver despite waiting there for around 10 minutes so we got in line to get the food and the food was already made. So we just got blatantly ignored and wasted a lot of time and money. read more

I like ice cream. I eat it about every day. I don't like plain boring, vanilla, but different flavors, to make it interesting. This is what Cold Stone Creamery does, makes life interesting. I can't be an ice cream enthusiast, I'm allergic to milk. But, I sneak it. I eat about nay flavor at Cold Stone Creamery, but the cotton candy flavor looks cool in the bowl. It's blue, and bright, and pretty. Shouldn't ice cream be pretty? Mixed with some roasted almonds...OMG... The staff are friendly at this establishment. They keep it clean. There's plenty of ice cream shop tables and chairs, with an outside area, as well. The menu is behind the counter, and huge. Cakes to choose from, as well. Choices....plenty of menu choices....what will I choose next visit? read more

THEY HAVE NO SPOONS TO EAT WHAT YOU'VE PAID FOR. We try to support businesses like these during the pandemic. We ordered three small ice creams for pick up. I asked if the spoons were in the bag and was told they had no spoons, at all. How do people eat what they buy here? If they didn't have spoons, I would imagine they would apologize and offer cones instead? But no. No sorry, just "no way to eat what you've paid for, bye" There were in fact about five containers of spoons in clear view behind her, which I inquired about and she said "oh yeah. I forgot about those" We live equally close to the Leawood location so will just plan on going there because this is absolutely ridiculous. If you do use this location, I guess bring your own spoon. read more

My favorite ice creamplace. Service is quick and rarely crowded. Sooo many flavors and combos to choose from. They offer sampling if you care to try something new. Highly recommend if you've yet to experience this mouth watering treat. read more

Delicious! Our family loves this Cold Stone Creamery!! We live nearby and visit occasionally.

Went in with my gf. Both got a love it and mine was half the size and wrong and they could've cared less. Normally love this place. Should've door dashed it so I didn't waste the gas. Guess I'll have to start going to Andy's from now on. Thanks cold stone! read more

I love Coldstone Creamery! They have great ice cream and fairly quick service. Prices are slightly expensive, but most good icecream places are. They have seating inside and seating outside as well. A nice little park to take the kids right next door, as well as a walking trail to burn off the calories afterwards. read more

Great Ice Cream just like The ColdStone we know and love. The service here is absolutely terrible every time we go. Wrong sizes, online order was not ready 30 minutes after pick up time for me to have a receipt and they claim there is no order. The teenagers behind the counter running the place can be very unprofessional at times and very frustrating. Good Ice cream. read more

First off they didn't bother to greet the only black couple in the store, but when a white couple walks in the whole teams peps up and gives them a warm welcome. They can't say they were busy because no one was in there besides one other couple. They also didn't speak to the Hispanic couple that walked in 5 mins after us. Secondly, they didn't even ask us if we wanted a cone or extra topping or anything. They acted as if they just wanted us to buy and get out. Honestly whoever owns this cold Stone Creamery needs to train their workers on diversity and customer service. I love Cold Stone but this location is GARBAGE!!!!!!!! I'd give no stars if I could read more

ice cream was good but berries were to cold and frozen, it was like biting into rocks.

Would you like to eat an entire stick of frozen butter that some prankster labeled "ice cream?" If so, this is the place for you! They offer several different flavors of ice cream, ranging from "brown, chocolately butter" to "green, minty butter." Then you can demand they shove random crap into your order, such as peanut butter cups, gummy bears, and additional butter-related objects. I would claim their ice cream is ridiculously overpriced, but when you think about it on a dollar-to-calorie value, you end up getting one hell of a deal. On butter. read more

LOVE this ice cream! Unfortunately, my waistline can't afford to eat here as often as my mouth would like! And it hits the ol' pocketbook pretty hard, too, so we don't come unless we have a coupon, or our treat is free (birthday, National Ice Cream Day, etc.). They have scads of great Signature Creations, but I have a hard time making it past the Peanut Butter Cup Perfection to even try anything else! I mean, chocolate ice cream, peanut butter, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, and fudge! M-m-m-m-m!!! I would love to try the Mint Mint Chocolate Chip, or the OREO Overload, or any of half a dozen others, but I get stuck on Peanut Butter Cup Perfection. It's like, there are only so many days left in life, and sometimes it's best to go with what you KNOW you love! If you aren't sure about whether or not you'll like a particular flavor, be sure to ask for a free little sample spoonful! There are numerous flavors of ice cream to choose from. And, if you are trying to watch your fat or calorie intake, or have issues with dairy, consider their Healthful Indulgences, including dairy-free sorbet, Tart and Tangy yogurt, Sinless Sans Fat Non-fat No Sugar Added ice cream. They also offer non-dairy smoothies. You can also trim calories, etc. by ordering the Like It size serving (approximately 5 oz.). If you have a bigger appetite than that, get the Love It size (approximately 8 oz.). Or, if you are in a totally devil-may-care, throw-caution-to-the-wind mood, go for the Gotta Have It size weighing in at approximately 12 oz.! Check out the www.coldstonecreamery.com website for more details about their cold, mouthwatering offerings, information about ingredients and nutrition, and tips on ways to stay within your own personal dietary guidelines, if possible! The servers here are patient with slow customers, and skilled at mixing everything together. The menu board is big and easy to read. The store is almost always neat and clean, with plenty of tables and chairs inside. And, there is some great outdoor seating in a little fenced-off area just outside the side door. So save your pennies for a splurge, and don't count the calories! read more

Many of us waiting in line. Meanwhile, two of the staff members are out busting butts to serve us, while another employee sits in the back chatting with what appears to be two of her friends in the back (one of which isn't wearing shoes!

Come on management! read more
