Cold Stone is such classic fun - half the reason for me to come here is purely the nostalgia. This location is a bit worn through, but still serves up some delicious ice cream mixes. Good selection of flavors, but not extensive. If not for the variety of mixes, this Cold Stone doesn't have much of an "edge" compared to other gelato and ice cream shops up and down the street. This is a small shop with just a couple of employees at a time, so be prepared to wait a bit. There can be a line during peak hours. If you want to stay and hang out, you can find seating outside. There's parking on the street and also in the back area. read more

I like good deals, who doesn't? Before my BOGO deal expires, I stopped by at this location to claim it. Upon entering, I was the only customer and the employee greeted me with a smile and asked what can he get me. Now, that's a good start. I showed him the email then when he inputs my phone number, the BOGO deal didn't pop up. But he was so nice to honor it. Yay!!! I ordered my usual Coffee Lover and the Cheesecake flavor with pie crust in both Gotta Have It container. The place is small but has enough room to move around. One table inside. Metered parking. No public facilities. read more

Horrible location and customer service. I do not recommend placing any cake orders at this location.

Always a perfect idea for a nice hot day especially when LA was going through a major heatwave. This location is on a Main Street, Ventura Blvd but the entrance is kind of tucked away. We thought they were closed as it seemed like no one was there. It's your typical chain, same concept. Ice creams are mixed to your flavor of choice. Different varieties of flavors with lots of combos to choose from. There's also the freezer selection with cakes ready for purchase. Service was nice, friendly staff. Ice cream was great. Entrance was just a little hidden but otherwise, great. read more

My most recent visit wasnt the best experience. This is my local Cold Stone and I adore it BUT on November 27, I went in to surprise my sister with her fav Coffee Lover for her birthday. As soon as I walked in, only person, the two young ladies did NOT greet me until I said may I order? I ordered. I normally leave a 20% tip because I know allllll about the world of hospitality. But for two ladies to not greet the ONLY person in the store was a bit of dissatisfaction. They made my ice cream and because I did not tip. They did not provide me with a lid. I asked the cashier can I have a lid? She literally looked at me and said the lids are right there and walked away. Normally Coldstone ALWAYS make it for dining and whenever I do inquire for a lid, they place it on my ice cream. because I did not tip, that was her response to me. A bit rude. There's no tables inside but there are seating options outside. read more

My bf saw that there's a special flavor being featured the banana pudding! So we decided to give it a try for ourselves. Upon entering the store, we were greeted by the lovely girls working. You can park on the street and there is a parking my lot that charges behind the store. There is an array of flavors and toppings, you can create your own, they have cakes and milk shakes and other desserts. The smell from the fresh waffles being made in the waffle maker filled our noses and made us hungry! I sampled the chocolate silk (dairy free) option and it was creamy and light. You select your icecream of choice, toppings, and it's mixed for you on the cold slab. I love that the icecream is so thick, creamy and indulgent. This is costly, but you get what you pay for in terms of quality. My only dream is that they carry more gluten free topping options! My bf didn't want to share his icecream, but the brownies are always a fantastic addition! Make sure to get a rewards stamp card and enjoy yourself. There's seating inside, and outside there's a few tables as well. Easy to locate right along Ventura Blvd. read more

Once in a while, I want good ice cream I can depend on. Nothing fancy, artisanal (Salt & Straw I'm looking at you), just fattening, good old ice cream. For me, Cold Stone usually gets the job done. There was one not too far over on Pico, but after reading the reviews, I realize they are priced much higher here for some odd reason. The Like It size was a whopping $9, and this is their smallest offering! I passed on my craving, knowing I would be in a different part of town the following day. That happened to be Sherman Oaks, where the same size is $5.99 which is much more reasonable. Girls working there were great, and I did a basic scoop of French Vanilla and then chocolate ice cream, adding in cake mix. I wanted a lid, and I suppose they were out of that size top, so she put it into a larger container so I could get the lid. It was a rainy day out, but I managed to get a spot right outside on Ventura, and I had my craving satisfied, thanks to the girls at Cold Stone in Sherman Oaks! read more

Service is great. Ambiance is pretty terrible. Ice cream is on par with Baskin Robbins. Simply put, if you're a control freak and like your ice cream exactly as you like it, then this is your place. But personally, I'd rather pay the extra buck fifty and go to Jeni's. read more

I've been a fan of this place since it opened doors 20 years ago with the mind-blowing idea of hand-churning freshly made batches of custom ice cream, hand-mashed with your favorite mix ins (Chocolate chip cookie dough? Reese's. peanut butter cups? Kit Kat bars, snickers, fresh fudge, your favorite nuts, Reeses pieces, M&Ms, or maybe even your favorite Saturday morning cereal!) Their waffle cones can't be beat, they're made fresh right in front of you on a waffle grill, and they're freshly crafted ice cream cakes and cupcake confections are to die for. I particularly love the staff at this location as they're always upbeat, happy to whip up your deepest desires, and somehow always leave you feeling A LOT less guilty about downing their yum desserts ! There's a parking lot in back that they validate, if you can't find a spot out front (I often do, but just in case!)... and lovely outdoor seating under an awning to enjoy your favorite treats. OH! and in case you can't tell from the pictures, they've installed beautiful brand new plexiglass through and through, making it incredibly safe for everyone to enjoy their favorite ice cream treats! They also have adorable gift cards that may gift giving a lot more fun than the usual Starbucks! MUST ENJOY! read more

I thought ice cream was a hard thing to mess up but for a place literally named "cold stone" they handed me an almost completely melted cup of what used to be ice cream with the toppings crushed into it. Not to mention the place was just exceptionally warm in itself read more

While I have been here a few times before COVID-19, I will use this review to comment on some of the recent changes I notice on my visit yesterday. They had a sign on the door that talked about social distancing and the use of a mask while inside the establishment. The counter was sectioned off and a barrier was made using chair so that it kept 6 feet between customers and the employees. There were taped markers on the ground for reference. The rope barrier also ensured that no one would come up to the ice cream case and pressed themselves against the case. There were 3 employees that were masked up and attentive while I pondered my order. My sister and I ended up getting ice cream and we got my brother a smoothie. They also have ice cream cakes and as a child, I had a fair few of the ice cream cakes growing up because I was not a fan of regular cake due to the amount of frosting. As for the creations, you can get one of the signature creations or build a custom one. I am usually a fan of the oreo overload, chocolate devotion, cookie doughn't you want some, but I decided to try something new and got the Mud Pie Mojo! Omg, it was delicious! It is base with coffee ice cream and has oreos, almonds, and peanut butter mixed in. Definitely a new favorite!!!! I got it in a waffle cone, which costs $2 more but it was very filling and entirely worth it. I left highly satisfied. They also have a rewards program that you can sign up for via phone number so that you can earn points for different rewards on a future visit. When you first sign up you get a buy one get one free creation, which I think is definitely worth it for any ice cream/dessert addict such as myself! read more

Old stale Icecream. Ordered birthday cheesecake desire for my friends birthday but the Icecream was old and icy means stale and the cake was dry and only 1 layer of Icecream not layers so it didn't taste too good. Couldn't really taste cheesecake Icecream:/ read more

Love Cold Stones. We have a bunch of them in Orange County. We stopped here for some ice cream messing around Ventura Blvd. I ordered some Chocolate Vanilla mix with lots of different sprinkles in all. It was good weather somewhat for it. We sat inside and chilled eating some Cold Stones. I had not been here in awhile. Felt so good to get my sugar tooth out of the way. Great staff, good location. Hope i have the pleasure of visiting again. read more

One of the last remaining unfortunately. This is a great place to get a variety of ice cream and mix in all your favorite childhood treats; gummy worms, graham crackers, Oreos, etc. The people working here are generally young so give them a break. Come for the nostalgia, leave with the calories. read more

This is a better Cold Stone Creamery location, especially when the weather is nicer, you can hang out in front of the store where they have set up a couple of tables. It's fun on a warm night to linger over your ice-cream and people watch. Their ice-cream is rich, I prefer their Berry Berry Berry Good (love their waffle cone when they have it). I tried several flavors in the past - Cheesecake Fantasy, Strawberry Blonde, but I stick with my Berry Good, which is lighter and has more flavor. Customer service is just OK, parking is getting harder in the area, prices are getting kinda high and the competition is big lately, I have to say, more indie places I try, less I go to Cold Stone. read more

Just really disappointed. I love coldstones. It was my first job as a teenager. I come here so frequently that I'm really sad my last visit was this awful. It was 9:30 pm. Tuesday night, 8/10/21. 3 girls were working. I bring my 12 year old niece from out of town to grab some ice cream before we go to home after a day of showing her around LA. The place was a mess, looked REALLY dirty. The girls didn't want to mix in our toppings because the said they cleaned it already. Mind you, there was still a visible spot they didn't scrape off the ice cream from previous customer. Anyways.... my niece really wants ice cream , we order. They refused to mix In Our toppings. The entire point of ordering from coldstones is to literally customize your ice cream and have them mix in the toppings on the COLD STONE. Anyways. They placed the toppings in the bottom of the cup, whole. I ordered a peanut butter cup perfection. They forgot the peanut butter...and the Reese's were rock solid frozen from being placed on the bottom of the cup and I ended up trashing my entire ice cream. It wasn't good, at all.... They missed 2 items in the other ice cream I ordered to take home for my husband. A young girl with light brown hair in a ponytail (same girl that rang us up) forgot to grab a cup so she carried the scoop of ice cream (because god forbid she gets the stone meant for it dirty over 30 min before close time) with her to the back counter and dropped my nieces scoop of ice cream on the dirty counter next to the waffle cones. Tried to use her body to hide what just happened. Scooped it up off the counter with her HANDS And gave it to my niece. I'm disgusted....I will never come here again. Just horrified. Train your employees, this is a health code violation and just our right disgusting. I also asked for them to go. They overstuffed the tiny containers. Stuck a spoon in it And didn't give us lids. I was over charged. I still tipped because I have work in the service industry and I always tip. But I wish that I didn't. It was awful Oh!!! On top of this more customers come in and order right after we pay. THEY PLACED ICE CREAM ON THE STONE AND MIXED IN TOPPINGS. Wtf. Wtf wtf wtf!!!!! Never coming to this location ever again. read more

This review is for the awesome worker Aria who had the best customer service and made my night!! My online order was perfect and tasted so great! This was all I was craving since I found out it was national ice cream day and I'm 10 days away from giving birth so my craving was strong! Lol he hooked it up with all the graham cracker pie crust my heart could desire! Definitely coming back to this location read more

I loved this place. I've been here once before. Today I tried the strawberry ice cream with fresh strawberries and gram crackers. It was like a frozen version of a strawberry cheesecake! I loved watching them mix everything on the frozen stone and watching it all come together. Honestly? It was very flavorful and it all went very well together. The environment was super relaxed and it was nice and quiet in there, but then again we have always gone at night when there weren't a ton of crowds. We will definitely make future trips there and I tend to try as many combos as possible. read more

This was the worst place to come to get ice cream! My husband and I came for a Saturday night dessert and the woman working looked miserable and not helpful and when I got my order the ice cream melted so fast and was never mixed in right. The women there are rude no smiles or customer service friendly when I called to complain to manager she pretended to be a owner and no one is above her and she declined to refund my money she was so rude and obnoxious! For a owner to not refund a customer when customer is always right she was the worst I want people on yelp to read this and now this woman is extremely stingy with money and no way at all satisfied with her business I will never come to this place and neither should you got to Ride Aid for thrifty ice cream is better service than this rude owner yes I said owner rude! read more

Love this place! When I'm in a munch for an ice cream this place definitely on my 1st priority. I love the fact that I can choose custom flavors, so I have the chance to try new things every time. Their ice cream cakes very pretty and delicious, and the best part is that this location is Kosher so it make the fun even bigger (: read more

I really love the ice cream, (I mean how could you not). I've been going to cold stone for years in many states and the quality is always good. The girls I've met at this store or a pleasure, work hard and keep smiles up during a pandemic wherein they have extreme work environments. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because I've order (4 times now) the mint mint chip and every single time have received the other mint creation with the Oreo cookie. I'm not an Oreo cookie fan (well, not in my ice cream that is) and I've been disappointed each time I get it home and it's wrong. I don't know if it's something wrong with the way the order shows to them or what (seems a tad odd it was wrong that many times in a row and with different employees) so I haven't complained, I have however started going elsewhere to get my ice cream so I know I'll get mint chip. Great job to the ladies working though and cold stone is always delicious! read more

This is the most ridiculous and poorly made ice cream cake ever. The cake was ordered with 2 layers of ice cream and the ENTIRE second layer of ice cream was completely missing.

Cake batter ice cream with rainbow sprinkles and brownies may very well be my most favorite ice cream combo of ALL time, but most recently I ordered an ice cream cake on-line and since Cold Stone in Studio City has since relocated I needed to order from the Sherman Oaks location. Ordering on line was quick, easy and efficient - within 24 hours I had a confirmation then called the store a couple days before pick up to ensure my order would be ready. I was looking for a peanut butter chocolate ice cream cake for someones ;) b-day and didn't want to disappoint. I'm not a real big fan of Baskin Robbins so I thought I'd check out what options Cold Stone had. "Peanut Butter Playground" is what I went with and oh boy was it delish!!! The 4" round petite size is perfect for serving two. If you are looking for something small and sweet, I'd definitely suggest this size. Parking is a bit tricky at this location, you may park behind the bldg and they validate or there are limited metered street parking but good luck finding a spot. read more

I scream...you scream...we ALL scream for ICE CREAM!!! I can always rely on this place for a sure treat to celebrate for any given event. After you've gone around the block with boutique designed cupcakes and ordered from the top notch bakeries in town with triple berries of all sorts...where will you go then? Go back to the basics. I've gotten a handful of last minute ice cream cake treats from Cold Stone Creamery many a times and it's always been a win, win, win! You can't deny your love... Go back to the basics of your love for ice cream. They'll never let you down. read more

Ok everyone loves ICE CREAM - right... well the last TWO times I've gone there's been a trash can in front of the doors and NO ONE at the counter. It's like they don't want business. It literally looks like the place is closed. One door was locked and the door, the one that had the trash can in front of it, was unlocked. It's always the same two girls too! Both times! Seriously, I saw people walk up, look and walk away. That's a way to lose some good business. Especially when there two other spots within that block. One with churros and the new spot igLoo Parlor! Super disappointed in the customer service here. I'd rather walk up the block and pay $2-$4 more for great customer service and quality Ice cream! read more

Cold Stone Creamery - I'm sure I'm not the only one who has seen this. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Sherman Oaks, California

Cold Stone's will always hold a special place in my heart as one of the original Ice Cream shops. Despite it being a chain quality is still there. Before the hip ice cream rolling trend Cold Stone was the first to mix the ice cream the way they do. This Cold Stone has the same menu as all the rest and their signature flavors haven't changed much since my childhood. They still got the Birthday Cake Remix and Strawberry Blonde; their signature mixes are on the sweeter side so the Like It size is usually more than enough because anymore I'd be in a sugar coma. Probably why I would never give a Cild Stone a 5 star rating. Lastly, their staff is quite nice. I came in and was greeted immediately asked if I wanted to try anything, and was made my order pretty quickly! I addition they were so kind and enter in my gift card by hand when it wasn't working. Great service at a classic place. read more

There is no ice cream that compares to coldstones. It is so creamy and delicious and the texture is just phenomenal. I love this place and there is no doubt about that. I wanted to review and commend this place for the man who worked there and helped my kids and I. He was a caucasion male about 30 years old and he was so very nice. He was really good with my kids and had a smile on the entire time. We need more people like this working in places. read more

I worked with the owner/decorator, Haleh to design a Minecraft themed birthday cake for my son's 9th birthday and it was such a pleasure to work with her. Haleh was very knowledgeable and kind. Not only did she help me design a beautiful and delicious ice cream cake, but she recommended the Minecraft picture to the printed on the cake and the cake toppers along with my son's name written in letters matching the design. She also agreed to meet with me at the store at my convenience to show me the cake size and decide together the placement of the cake toppers. All these services for a reasonable price. Haleh was also in constant contact with me throughout the design and creation process. The final product was spectacular, kids and adults alike loved the cake decorations and flavors, and it was the perfect ending to a Minecraft themed birthday celebration. I absolutely recommend Haleh's services and ice cream cakes for any celebratory event. Thank you, Haleh, you are the best! read more

Whoa this place oozes sugar. The smell hits you even before you open the door!! What's not to like about cold stone? It's ice cream, it's delicious!! This location has some outdoor seating which is good as it is pretty small inside. There is a parking lot behind the building as well as metered parking on Ventura blvd. There is something for everyone, whether you like cake batter or mint you pick an ice cream and load it up with toppings. They have a plethora of goodness to choose from, kit-kats, sprinkles, fruit, you name it they probably have it. They also have original creations if you are overwhelmed with all the decisions. I went ahead and got one of those and it was goooood. Nom Nom Nom. It's a great place to pick up a birthday cake as they always have some pre-made ones in their freezer or you can call ahead and place an order. read more
