The selection here is awesome, I counted 22 flavors, including both ice cream at at least one yogurt flavor. There are many toppings available to complement your treat, including pecans, peanuts, and a selection of candy bar chunks and sprinkles. They are short handed today (a sign says 'now hiring') so we were waiting a while. One person both made the treats and rang it up on the register. But they apologized and were nice. read more

Cold Stone Creamery - 22 flavors - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Live Oak, Texas

Went in today and it was so dirty. Trash on tables and floor, very sticky floor, only 4 flavors of ice cream available but you could see more in the back. If you asked for anything the girls just said no there is no more, including toppings. Will never come back here. read more

I honestly don't understand how this Cold Stone location stays open. The service here is unbelievably slow. There are a couple of girls behind the counter who seem to have absolutely zero energy or urgency. Scooping ice cream is literally the core job here, yet they can barely manage to scoop enough to fill a cup. Be prepared to stand in line for 30-40 minutes only to receive the most underwhelming cup of ice cream imaginable. After all that waiting, you'd expect at least a decent portion, but instead you get a half-filled cup that feels like a complete rip-off. When you're paying close to $10 for a treat, the experience shouldn't be this frustrating or disappointing. The lack of motivation and basic service effort here is honestly shocking for a place in the service industry. If you're craving Cold Stone, do yourself a favor and go to another location. This one will just waste your time and leave you disappointed. read more

The ice cream here is always greattt! Best ice cream chain I've tried. But I really wanted to review this place because of my last visit. I came in pretty close to closing time and was met with some really good customer service! Two young kids seemed almost excited I was there and were really kind. Such a fun end to my night I definitely have to give it to them! Some of the best service so far! On top of that the place looked like it was nice and clean so they really have their stuff together! read more

Went to get dessert at 9:29 and their doors are locked. Very poor service, never had an experience like that.

Our recent visit to Cold Stone Creamery was definitely memorable--but not for the reasons you'd expect. The wait time was insane, with a line of about 20 people and only one young man working behind the counter. It was clear the store was severely understaffed, and yet, that single employee handled it all with patience, kindness, and a genuinely sweet attitude. He never once showed frustration, even though most people in his position would have been overwhelmed or in a terrible mood. I wish I had gotten his name ! While we were impressed by his work ethic and positivity, it's disappointing to see a company put that kind of pressure on one individual. Cold Stone needs to treat its workers better--this young man deserves support, not to be left on his own in a packed store. Mind you he was MAYBE 17-18 years old. All the credit goes to him for holding it together with a smile. ( there was another girl but she didn't help him she was on the to go orders) . Cold stone do better read more

Ordered a custom cake on Sunday to be picked up Wednesday at noon, was not ready. I was offered another cake that was not made the same way as a replacement. I asked can they have it ready by Thursday at noon and they said ok. (This is not the first time this has happened) Went Thursday and the cake was ready, no sorry, discount anything for me having to drive back out and pick it up. They did say they would talk to the manger so I was thankful for that. I did not inspect the cake because I didn't think anything would be wrong with it.... I pulled the cake out of freezer to get it ready and noticed the side was a little off and there was no frosting around the bottom. After cutting it I noticed the cake on the bottom was broken and missing pieces. Called to talk to a manager and got someone that said "the manager is not in but I'm like the manager here now" ... I tried to explain what was wrong and wouldn't even let me talk.. read more

Absolutely unacceptable experience. I ordered three ice creams today through DoorDash, and only ONE was correct. Another was technically the right flavor, but they put a medium in a large cup--seriously? That's flat-out dishonest. And the third? Missing a $4 waffle cone AND $4 worth of mix-ins. Eight dollars just gone. I had to call DoorDash support because I was fuming. Cold Stone used to be a place I loved--a place full of good memories. I wanted to share that with my kids today. Instead, we were served nothing but disappointment. Cold Stone has completely gone downhill. The lack of care, the dishonesty, and the quality control (or lack thereof) make it clear they just don't care about customers anymore. Do better--or don't bother at all. read more

Every time I come here, the line is long and they only have one employee working. Takes forever to get anything.

Don't waste your time. Go to the Dairy Queen across the way or go to a sonic. We got there right after opening. We got our icecream...... which was half melted. I know it needs to be semi soft to mix stuff up, but this was "melty". I was literally given my bowl with the lid on it and it leaking down the sides. I asked for the mint mint chocolate chocolate chip which should have brownies and fudge drizzle and chocolate chips. I was given mint chip icecream..... I could have bought the Tillamook brand at Walmart for the price of their little bowl. My littles then needed to use the restroom we walked in and it looked like it hadn't been cleaned all weekend. Mind you, we were there on a Monday right after opening. I had them hold it until we got home. Service was mediocre, but I really don't expect much from a high schooler or college kid who probably doesn't get paid enough to give a darn. read more

I love cold stone creamery. The ice cream is top tier. This particular location on pat booker though always takes 45+ minutes to serve 6 people ice cream. It's ran by teenagers which isn't a problem but there is zero sense of urgency. I have been standing in line and have watched groups of people walk out because of how slow they are here. I have been to this location a handful of times and each time I visit, it's great ice cream but individuals on the clock with zero work ethic. read more

My daughter came home with her smoothie and there were broken plastic shards in her drink. She noticed it there but didn't want to say anything. This is unacceptable. She says the service was very slow and the bathroom door wouldn't close. read more

The overall enviroment of the store is nice and soothing. My server Nicholas greeted me with a warm welcome and amazing customer service !

I feel bad for the kids that work here they working so hard but can't keep up with the demands of people. Besides that the place is dirty they can barely keep it clean and one time I went the ice cream looked like soup. One guy ice cream went bad in his had they give him another but is was a shake in a waffle cone. I feel bad for this place. I hope this place gets better. read more

Horrible experience, will not ever return. I didn't mind the long line, as there were a couple of families waiting on their to-go order around the cash register, along with a couple of families at the table, a family in line at the counter along with 2 other couples as well waiting to place their order. But I did mind when your employees talk about their customers! Hamza made a comment saying he "Hates when 5 out more Mexican people come in at a time" to his female coworker with glasses (sorry I didn't get her name.) I only heard the comment because it was my turn to place my order and I approached the counter. I was completely astounded! I understand there was line and there was a group of about 6 people but to talk about your customers like that is completely disgusting and racist! If I could give ZERO stars I would. read more

Place was empty when we walked in. There were 3 employees standing around. Another family walked in and staff we walked up to the counter, but the employees refused to acknowledge my family. Spoke to the people behind us when we were clearly there waiting to order. Incredibly rude and disrespectful. read more

I have always loved Cold Stone. I just outgrew it because I worked there as a kid and ate the ice cream all the time. The ice cream is always spot on. They could improve the scenery better by making sure the tables are wiped down. They were kinda dirty and had remnants of ice cream drippings. Nothing crazy, but I know that for myself, dirty tables ruin the moment. Still love the place though. read more

I placed an order for delivery on THEIR app. The order was taking a while so I called the store, only to be told they don't deliver EVEN though they charge a delivery fee. The "manager" tried to lie & say I set it up for pickup when I had a screenshot of the delivery screen (and it asked for my address). They refused to issue a refund & I had to put a stop-pymnt on the funds. When I went up there, I saw two young men walking out of the store to get water or something to bring to the back & overheard them talking trash about the situation. Buyer Beware. Edit after response- no one was hanging up on him because I was driving to the store. I wouldn'tve been able to pick up my phone! It's very unprofessional for the app to say one thing to a customer & you guys then tell us it's not offered. I relied on the app. I didn't make something up that wasn't offered. Secondly - there were two men carrying a case of water into the store. They came through with red aprons, said 'excuse me to those of us in line' & walked into the back. So there was NOT just ladies working that day. You seem to want to blame ME for purchasing an item, using the system and method that was OFFERED to me. I have NO control over YOUR online ordering system, but you know who does? YOU! Either way, I was able to have the bank decline the transaction so no money lost on my side & now I know what you guys are all about. Tragic because up until now, I was a regular.... read more

This place has everything you don't want long lines, one person making ice cream and cashing people out and no one with a clue how to manage the chaos. 20 people in line and literally 3 people "working" but it's really one person making ice cream and checking people out. The other is mopping the back, 20 mins of mopping a 10' spot. Third disappeared to the back and was never found again. If the ice cream wasn't so good and how sorry I felt for the one person really working I would give this place a one. Any one noticed Baskin Robbins is making a push in the city. Think it's time to change ice cream parlors for me. read more

Terrible service! Long line of customers and the workers didn't even acknowledge anyone. No markings on where to go for orders One employee working a very busy counter and the other employees were doing something else. Costumer service is poor most places these days but this was exceptionally bad. We waited for over 10 minutes and weren't even greeted so we left. read more

I ordered a cake batter shake with bananas and it was like liquid I brought it up to the employee and he stated it is like that. How ever I always order this drink and it's not. I told him it's not like that it's usually thick and usually has cake in it and bananas so it would not be like liquid. I tasted the shake and it had more milk than ice cream. He stated he could remake it but it would still be the same and it would just be a waste of time. Bad customer service. I would not visit this locate ever again. read more

yummy yummy yum yum. They had a dairy-free option which I was super super excited about being that I'm lactose intolerant. It was called The lemon whipped or the whipped lemon something or the other but it was delicious. Don't care too much for the waffle bowls or cones because they are super soft and taste a little old but I digress... All in all it was delicious and I'm super happy that I had it as my late night snack. The workers there are extremely slow so it made me a little irritated but... It doesn't keep the flavors from tasting any less amazing. read more

To preface, my boyfriend and I are avid Cold Stone lovers. Before moving to this area a few months ago, we would always visit Cold Stones around our old city. We've never ONCE received any push back or attitude from the servers for asking very simple requests. I also very very rarely feel the need to write reviews. I have also spent many years working in the restaurant industry, and therefore show respect to servers, as I know how it feels when getting rude customers. Tonight was our first night at this location. We went in about 6:45ish. The straight up ATTITUDE we received from the boy kid (tall, skinny, black wavy/curly hair) was honestly shocking and completely unwarranted. I had ordered a Love It size, and asked for him to put it in the larger cup. All he did was stare at me. I explained to him it was because I want extra room in the cup, I don't like when the ice cream drips down the side. His response was that "well it doesnt do that anyway." Ok. Not sure what the problem is. My boyfriend stepped in and asked if we could please have it in the bigger cup. At which he responded VERY rudely, "well I would need to charge you for it." Okay that's fine. He charged us a Gotta Have It size, and I got this. So sloppy, stuff spilt over the side of it. I never asked for extra ice cream, or extra inclusions in the ice cream. I just wanted it in a larger cup. It has never been an issue until now. I think I'll be going to Marble Slab next time, they certainly have much better reviews!! read more

Just your typical cold stone. It was clean inside. You cannot sit inside right now, and their restrooms are closed. They have space between the order counter and the customer for social distancing. One thing this fella did, that I've never had done, is he out my ice cream in a freezer so it didn't melt while he made my husbands, which I liked. The only thing that bugged me is that the door to the back room was open, but that's just a personal thing I don't like! read more

We had some Door Dash promos to use so last night when I ordered, we got a bowl of chocolate ice cream instead of a malted shake. Today, I ordered a mix of chocolate, chocolate fudge, pecans & caramel and I got vanilla with brownies. Not EVEN close! I think they don't give a crap because they don't have any accountability for delivery orders. They know the delivery companies will have to take the heat. I don't even want to walk in there I'm so angry! read more

PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU STEP FOOT IN THIS LOCATION. For the safety of your children and family members. I just want to start by saying if I could give this location zero stars I would do just that. My father, nephew and I were being serviced by the owner of this cold stone location. We come here often and my 10 year old nephew ordered a Gotta Have It size with cream/coffee mixed ice cream with TWIX and marshmallow. My father and I had Like It sized signature ice creams. Hannah, the manager wrote down on a little tablet exactly what we ordered and read our order back to us for confirmation. When we received our ice cream outside we all were having casual conversations and then my nephew expressed that his throat felt like it was closing up. He also mentioned that the chocolate candy in the ice cream didn't taste like Twix. I tasted it and realized that HANNAH put in Snickers instead of Twix. My nephew has a PEANUT ALLERGY. I run inside and tell her to stop what she is doing and to give me an additional water bottle. I also tell her how terribly she messed up and put my nephews life at risk! Thankfully my nephews allergic reactions are getting better as he gets older but it still affects him. Even though he ate a very small piece of the chocolate he could feel his chest start tightening up. HANNAH comes outside and says she can make him another ice cream. ANOTHER ICE CREAM? You think a child with an allergic reaction needs another ice cream? She continues to say that we need to pay for the water bottle.. without any care in the world to make sure that my nephew is okay. She failed to recognize her wrong doings. Hannah begins to say that it was our job to tell her about his allergy. No.. it was her job to DO HER JOB! She begins to approach the table- getting closer to us and starts raising her voice. I feel threatened as I'm trying to make sure my nephew is going to be okay and deal with her aggressiveness. I tell her to back the hell up and give us our money back. This conversation is occurring as we are getting ready to leave and get the epipen that was on the counter in our house to put in his body. HANNAH the owner tells us that she won't give us our money back and that it's our fault for not telling her about his allergy. She kept repeatedly saying that we need to leave, we need to leave, we need to leave. When I asked her for her last name she wouldn't give it. I asked her for her corporate office number she said "go look it up" rolled her eyes and had her hands motion for us to leave. Not one ounce of care, empathy or understanding of a problem she started. My nephew had to get stabbed with TWO epipens, was admitted to the ER and missed a day of school. Hannah failed on EVERY level of customer service and had no kind of patience for the amount of frustration my family and I had. Simply being empathetic as an employee at your job is NEEDED. But to be an owner and having the audacity to set this example is terrible! We truly feel like the only reason for her to act this way had to do with us being racially profiled. I've never been treated like this in life. Thank GOD my nephew is safe and will be okay. When asked to get our money back she said she wouldn't give it and that her drawer is closed. HANNAH does not deserve to work another day in this location or any job at that. She is extremely disrespectful, combative and evil. Her intentions truly were shown yesterday and displayed the type of representation that this location has. She needs to be held accountable for. Just TERRIBLE. Take responsibility for your ACTIONS AND WRONGDOINGS. Whether she made a mistake or there was chocolate mixed in the tupawear. This is a safety hazard and it is important for all locations to exercise that for the sake of their customers. We have NEVER had this issue and we don't have to state anything about his allergy if you just DO YOUR JOB. Please see the photos attached. Our tray shows that we were unable to even finish our ice cream. A OWNER should never project their insecurities, narcissistic tendencies to gaslight their customers. You should never treat ANY human being like this. read more

Working here was a terrible experience. Unprofessional management, inappropriate conduct from fellow employees, just all around a terrible work experience. I worked here because I loved cold stone and now returning as a customer the service is terrible. Compared to the other cold stones in the area this one has the worst cleanliness. read more

Walked in to an empty store and three workers seemed busy making online orders. We stood at the counter for a few minutes and thought they were just finishing up orders. They did not address us at all. Another family came in and also looked at the ice cream; a server immediately asked what they wanted. Not sure how we were so invisible but they weren't ready yet so we asked if we could order. We were ignored until my wife said we'd been there first. I've never been completely ignored before. I'll never come back. read more

The entire premise of cold stone is individually hand mixed toppings into ice cream and a refrigerated stone. Well, this last visit was horrible for a couple reasons. The smallest offering, in a waffle cone amounted to $8.00 and without much of any toppings or mixing which equals NO EFFORT. After paying I asked for a cup of water and told they had no cups, plus they had no bottled water to sale. read more

I did not get served when I came to this shop 30 minutes before closing. Clearly management is not doing their job: the team was understaffed, the employees seemed uninterested in taking orders, the line was confusing, and the tasks the employees were taking seemed horribly inefficient. I warn anyone interested in getting ice cream: if this store is busy, you might go hungry. read more

Where to begin. 1. The store was out of the Like It sized cups so we were forced to purchase the Love It size for kids 2. Asked to have a smaller amount put in the larger cup but was told no 3. Attempted to use a gift card but the only person who was in the store did not how to use the gift card for our purchase 4. No napkins to be found 5. Tables and chairs were not sturdy read more

This was the worst experience I have ever had at a cold stone!

By far the worst cold stone experience. There was no manager on sight it took forever to get our ice cream...mind you there was 5 employees that could've helped and while at this location a girl found a hair in her ice cream and no one was wearing hair nets...just unbelievable disrespect because they were all laughing and yelling as if there was no customers on sight. read more

Let me start by saying, I am not an ice cream person. In my youth, I could take down an ice cream cone in seconds, but, not anymore. There is no flavor that I love, and lactose is totally not on my side. Now that we've gotten that out of the way, let me say I LOVE the non-dairy options at Cold Stone Creamery. I got the strawberry mango banana sorbet and fell in absolutely love. For those who didn't know, you can get sorbet and mix in toppings, the same way that you'd mix into ice cream. This was a creamy, delicious vegan option that I will be back for! read more

Unfortunately this is the location near our home. We are use to going to Cold Stone and it being a really cheerful experience. The staff here lately seems bothered. Does anyone else remember staff singing when you tip? Will my baby did and was extremely disappointed when she put her dollar in and didn't get the song. She looked at me and all I could say was I guess they don't sing here honey. Oh I included a photo of my shake you let me know what the problem is and no the lady didn't ask if I wanted whipped cream! read more
