I came in today Monday August 3rd at 7pm and it was pretty busy, but there was only one employee working. He did an amazing job keeping up with the rush. He was fast, efficient, and made sure everyone was helped as quickly as possible. He deserves credit for handling everything on his own. Unfortunately, the store itself was a different story. It was very dirty and looked like it hadn't been swept or mopped in a while. The cleanliness really took away from the experience. Management needs to do a better job maintaining the store and making sure it stays clean, especially during busy hours. The employee did a great job, but the condition of the store definitely needs improvement.

The cake where the employee said there was not enough space to write happy birthday .

I had pre-ordered an ice cream cake with "Happy Birthday" to be drawn on the cake . When I picked it up , the women said they could not add the happy birthday writing on the ice cream cake I ordered . It was the 14-slice cake . The cake had plenty of space for the writing in my opinion . It comes off as if they did not read the full order and forgot so the person said they could not write it on the cake . She was nice enough to give me candles . However I would have appreciated a call which was available for them to disclose this information . I will be ordering from West Covina next time .

If I can give this establishment 0 stars I would. I have never received such poor customer service. I do not recommend this Coldstone location to anyone. I ordered a $50 custom cake a few days ago and this is what I received. Firstly, the worked handed me the bag closed and I just knew something was wrong. I opened it up in the store and I was appalled. The cake was absolutely atrocious. I have never seen something so poorly made in my life. The cake was falling apart in front of me. One piece of Oreo fell down. I have no words for the writing and the ganache and chocolate shavings had missing spots throughout the cake. I have no idea how this is even considered ok. Secondly, aside from the looks the cake I just want to point out that the worker never apologize nor seem any bit empathetic towards my frustration. Can you imagine that you order a cake and now you have to show up to a birthday without one due the fact that you'd be embarrassed to show up with it? We were offered a large cake however the price difference between this and our customer cake was $5. At this point, I was beyond frustrated and simply wanted a refund. The worker said she was UNABLE to provide me a refund without her managers approval. Fine, we waited. The manager did not answer after three tries and at this point we were very late to our event. The worker did not try to resolve this situation whatsoever, we had to ask for the manager to contact us regarding this. About an hour later, we received a call from the worker and not the manager. The solution they wanted to provide was to give us just a 20% refund and their reasoning was that this was a custom cake. Although I understand this is a custom cake, do you see the cake? In what world would anyone want this? And let alone pay $50 for this cake? What a joke.

Cake I received
Greeneyes S.

What a disappointment! I ordered A Cheesecake Named Desire and wanted happy Father's Day on it and it looks like a kid made this cake! The cake I received is terrible. I will never order from here again. Smh! The worst cake I ever bought. I should have order a cake from Ralph's, would have came out cheaper and better quality.

Shout out to the closing worker on 5/20/26. Nonstop customers coming in, got everyone in and out the shop with ease 10 min before closing. Great vibe here. Give him a raise.

Been getting their Triple size make your own ice-cream version. When you get ice cream at Coldstone go big, you won't regret it. Lately been coming here for weekly supplies and getting same flavor; chocolate, walnut, and brownies. Service is fast, I felt bad for they only have 1 worker and there's always people line up when we stop by. But always efficient and friendly. Sometimes they may have Group on deals or redeemable reward/coupons. Thanks for being in Monrovia.

If I could give 0 stars I would. First off my pick up time was at 11am. They don't open until 12. They did not tell me that when I placed my order. I waited outside for an hour while worker was inside and wouldn't give me my cake. Aside from that I paid 130$ for a cake that looked like a 10 year old decorated it. I asked for my money back they gave me 30$ back. Once we cut the cake the layer of ice cream was almost none. Mostly frosting and yellow cake. I paid for pie crust, cheesecake ice cream, strawberry ice cream, and caramel. NONE was included. It was all strawberry. Would NOT recommend this location. You're better off going to baskin robins. Also the manager refused to talk to me.

Cookies & cream cake (6inch)
Lily V.

I ordered a cookies and cream online (46$) and it was the 6inch small cake. When we arrived it was really hot outside but super cool inside the store (they had the doors open but still managed to be cool inside). When I arrived I told the staff my name and waited for the cake. It was for Father's Day and the person who usually writes on the cake didn't come in so the staff had to write it for us. Since I didn't realize the cake was sooooo small (because the cookies decorations took up so much space!) they could only write "HFD!" Since the space was too small. They also ran out of red frosting so I got. Lie frosting instead. I was greatly appreciated they were able to help me out despite the cake decorator not being there! We got a free sample while we waited so all in all a good day! The cake was delicious, I had to make sure my cool packs and insulated bag kept it from melting because it was very hot outside! Funny story, my sister thought it said HELP on the cake at first! Haha

Melted Ice Cream
Anika M.

Nice and welcoming staff. This location does not have any indoor seating and is fulfilling a lot of delivery orders. The ice cream was okay as it was pretty melted after the mix-ins. Not sure if the stone needs to be colder but we were there only guests when I visited. The top of my ice cream was very soft but everything in the cup was soupy.

The worker's writing '15 w/ a heart'. (if you turn it to the side it looks like it says 'but')

Super excited because the mini fruit tarts are going to look amazing on my newly purchased dessert tray! I was feeling a bit sleepy so I decided to fuel up & eat breakfast while I was there. I ordered a Vanilla Latte & a side order of 3 eggs + Sausage Links. If you're a big eater and want the additional potatoes and pancakes, I recommend paying a few dollars more and ordering the Breakfast platter. The Vanilla Latte came in a paper cup (a bit bummed out by not being able to take a more IG worthy picture of that), but it actually tasted really good! Same with the sausage links - it was probably one of the best tasting ones I've had for breakfast in a while. Aside from their wide selection of pastries and food options, their customer service was phenomenal. Every customer that walked through the door was greeted upon arrival and thanked on their way out. The restaurant was very clean and the cakes looked so beautiful behind the glass case. I had a pleasant experience today at Merengue Bakery & Cafe and can't wait to come back soon to try a slice of their chocolate cake!

I've found a lot of places with sweets like doughnuts and cupcakes are loading the pastries up with a lot of unnecessary extra stuff. Not so here, it's a clean presentation with a lot of flavor. I also had a triple espresso over ice and the espresso tasted high quality. The person that helped me was kind and the place had an inviting feel. It's small but cozy. I had a good experience and will definitely be back. The cupcakes made a good impression so I know that I will be picking up more of those to share as well.

The owner starts off with a kind and welcoming greeting, but because she appears to be the only barista, once multiple customers arrive, orders quickly back up and the atmosphere noticeably changes. On my most recent visit, I ordered 2 lattes and after waiting about 20 minutes, I finally received my 1st latte and politely mentioned i was still waiting on 1 more and was met with a super rude tone and rude response. It's clear the friendliness seems to disappear as the orders pile up. Running a small business isn't easy, and I understand that hiring another employee may not be financially feasible but at some point, I think you have to reevaluate whether doing everything alone is actually costing you customers as we're the ones stuck on the receiving end of your frustration and rudeness which ruins the entire visit. As good as the drinks are, unfortunately, I wont be returning or recommending a coffee shop with rude service to my friends and loved ones.
