We've been coming to this Cold Stone for a while because they make one of our favorite ice cream combos. Even though the prices are a bit high, we usually don't mind since the service is friendly and the ice cream is good. Unfortunately, our experience today was disappointing. I ordered the Cheesecake Fantasy in a "Love It" size, and my boyfriend got the Founder's Favorite. Right away we noticed his cup had noticeably less ice cream than mine. When we mentioned it, the staff insisted it was the same amount. Once both cups were side by side (see photo), it was obvious they weren't. Another employee said it was because his flavor had fewer toppings, but we've ordered this many times before and never had that issue sometimes they even overfill it. We left disappointed that our concern wasn't acknowledged or resolved. It's unfortunate because we've enjoyed coming here for a long time, but this visit really missed the mark.

This Cold Stone is about the same as any other Cold Stone. It's solid ice cream. There's a variety of flavors, and all of them are pretty good. The price is average as well - it's perfect for a hot summer day.

AMAZING Red Velvet cake with Birthday Cake ice cream
Sara A.

My friends ordered me ice cream cupcakes as a surprise and they were AMAZING!!!! They were preordered so we just walked in, gave our name and it was ready for us. The cupcakes are in a dark chocolate shell, cake on the bottom, ice cream in the middle and frosting on top. So absolutely delicious. I can't stop thinking about them. The store is located in a busy shopping center but we parked right up front with no issues. The store was clean and we were greeted with a smile when we walked in. Even with customers inside, it was really quiet and felt a little stuffy so we enjoyed a cupcake outside before taking the rest home. I can't wait to get more!!

I love cold stone and the workers are nice and give a generous amount. The chocolate devolution is my go to ice cream. The surrounding is also quiet and I love to sit by the fountain.

I don't recommend cold stone for your ice cream cake festivities. I picked a birthday cake up on Sunday for my granddaughter, and I was so embarrassed everybody was complaining about the cake being stale.. am very upset about this and will not be ordering any more birthday cakes here. the decorating everything looked beautiful except for the cake itself it tasted stale. I felt bad for everyone especially my granddaughter so embarrassing. This place is good for their ice cream when you go in to pick up ice cream .

Love it Chocolate devotion

Desserts: 5/5 We got a blood orange scone and a strawberry danish. The scone was warm and delicious. The orange essence was well infused. The danish was crispy and creamy. Everything was so picturesque. Food: 3/5 Unfortunately, the food was not the best. We got the smoked salmon sandwich which was not very flavorful. The salmon was also slimy. The pesto spread was good though. It was creamy and the artisan bread it was served had great variety. Ambiance: 5/5 This place is such super cute. When you walk in, the desserts all look super appetizing. The seating areas are super cute and the floral decor are stunning. Service: 5/5 It is an order then sit down establishment.

This was not our first time visiting Extraordinary Desserts, which makes this experience even more disappointing. Sadly, every time we come back, the service seems to get worse. The waiter's attitude and level of attention were unacceptable, and the overall customer service was simply not there. For a place that is supposed to be about enjoying beautiful desserts and having a nice experience, the quality of the service completely ruined our visit. Service, attention, and hospitality were all a zero.

Simply delicious coffee!…read more It's always a relief when you find a hidden gem. This establishment was so cute they even had cows hanging upside down! Such a fun and unique atmosphere. They also sell gelato, although we didn't get a chance to try it this time. The service was great, and the cashier was very helpful and friendly. I ordered an iced vanilla latte, and it was perfect. They also offer a great selection of coffee from Hawaii. The place was clean, welcoming, and had a very friendly vibe. Next time, I'll definitely have to indulge in some desserts! ts.

The decor and setting is cute and quirky, including cow sculptures hanging upside down from the ceiling. There were only a couple other visitors when we arrived, as it was near opening time. Our dishes took a whopping 35 minutes to be ready, and service was not very friendly nor helpful. Luckily, the music playing through the speakers added a nice vibe to the place, songs like Our House by Madness and Can't Fight This Feeling. We ordered the brunch pizza (with eggs cooked overeasy) and the breakfast flatbread which looked almost identical when served, as well as an iced mocha. The quality of the pizza was pretty average, and the eggs were slightly overcooked. The drink was really good, made fresh, with a smooth taste and a nice sweetness to it, the plastic cup coated in chocolate sauce. It tasted more like chocolate milk with a hint of coffee, which I personally enjoyed. They typically serve gelato here, but it would not be ready till almost two hours after opening time. So no milkshakes or cold desserts were available in the morning this past Sunday (no worries, Ghirardelli is just a block away). I appreciate the variety of menu items offered here. But they really should communicate online that their gelato's not ready till two hours into the day. If there's one thing that irks me about an establishment, it's failure to communicate appropriately. Even though our recent visit was somewhat disappointing, I still gave 3 stars, assuming this was an off day for them.

The most impressive thing is the works of art that are deserts in the showcase. Knowing that the draw is the sweets I was pleasantly surprised that they have food, beer and wine to set up a nice full meal. Our order was so complete that we had to take home th desert that we camefor in togo boxes. if you are a soup or tomato love I highly suggest getting there cup of tomatoes soup and salad. my eyes popped out of my head when they brought me salad that seemed big enough for two people. With a side of smoked salmon I couldn't fit everything in. My partner had a sandwich that was bigger than the size of her head and a crazy nice strawberry spritzer. The cheesecake smob that I am I took home something that I took a a chance on because I am trying not to be a creature of habits. A lemon strudel cheesecake out of the refrigerator the next day is probably better freshly made. When I go back I will defiantly make space for everything. This is a hidden gem that I hope stays local and a tour bus dosen't stop at the front door.

They offered to replace it but prefaced it with "we'll just have to throw this one away" I dont like to waste so I just accepted the lackluster looking and it also wound up to be one of the worst $6 cookies EVER! My wife had a Turkey sandwich which she was happy with.

Hiya B.UM.S., If you…read moreever find yourself wandering through Downtown San Diego with a sudden craving for fresh cookies or ice cream, I have a place you simply need to check out: Milk & Cookies. We stopped by recently and got incredibly lucky--there was no line in sight, so we walked right up to order! The Cookies: Gooey, Crisp, & Perfectly Balanced My wife decided to try a trio of cookies, picking out Snickerdoodle, Peanut Butter Reese's, and classic Chocolate Chip. They completely nailed the texture. Every single cookie hit that golden sweet spot--warm and gooey in the middle with just the right amount of crisp edge. What really stood out was the balance of ingredients. Chocolate Chip: Perfectly measured so you get sweet chocolate in every bite without feeling overwhelmed by chips. Peanut Butter Reese's: An absolute dream ratio of rich peanut butter to chocolate peanut butter cups. Snickerdoodle: Perfectly spiced, striking just the right "snicker-to-doodle" balance! Of course, we couldn't leave without trying the ice cream. I ordered a combination of Cookie Monster and Campfire in a single scoop. The portion size was remarkably generous--it completely filled up the small cup and delivered a fantastic mix of flavors. My wife went with a scoop combining Espresso Oreo and Mint & Chip, which she thoroughly enjoyed. Overall, these were easily some of the best desserts we've had in a very long time. Whether you're a local or just exploring the downtown area, Milk & Cookies is well worth a visit.
