    Coldstone is one of my favorite ice cream places to eat at. It's such a nostalgic parlor, this location was super clean and cute! I love the variety of flavors, and even though it's a little pricey per scoop, you do get a good portion. When I was younger, cotton candy + marshmallows was my to-go-to combo, but now, I like getting the cheesecake + graham crackers combo! I really appreciate the friendliness of the employees here, very kind girls who seemed happy to help.

    This review is mainly for a girl who's working today on Monday (10/7). I came in around 3 PM and was craving for some ice cream. This girl was so friendly, helpful and patient answering my questions and happily gave me some samples because I couldn't make up my mind about which one I would have chosen. I ended with some coffee/chocolate ice cream with Oreo cookies, peanut butter and almond. Yummm! It hit the spot! Thank you again for such a great service!

    I am a huge cold stone fan, but this one absolutely blows. The cheap owners never have enough staff so you always have to wait too long. They are super stingy on extras. And they keep the freezer temperature so high that your ice cream by the time it gets to you is somewhere between a custard and a milkshake. For what? To save a few bucks in electricity but lower the quality of your product? Losers. Nothing ever changes, ever. Cheap ass owners who don't care about the customer. One look at the chairs tells you all you need to know about this place.

    The ice cream was great. We love the peanut butter cups and chocolate shavings mixins. Unfortunately, the lady waiting on us didn't give us 2 love it sizes as we asked for...but she didn't charge us for them either. We enjoyed eating outside in the sunshine at the table on the patio.

    Cold Stone Creamery is a classic. Good rich ice cream shop including shakes as well as smoothies that are solid any day of the year your sweet tooth is tingling. The CSC of Thousand Oaks in the Janss Marketplace mall shopping center is truly more hidden than gem and a place we wandered into post dinner and thrills at the Reign of Terror Haunted Maze. We waited in an epic line that moved at a decent enough pace though there was a server getting off right at this rush which slowed the line again. Nobody seemed to want to be here or deal with the influx in business on a Sunday night however they still served us. Unlike some other creameries Cold Stones does have a less enthusiastic selection, however they have unique flavors and toppings not to mention signature concoctions. Cold Stone's does cookies, cakes and other desserts as well, not to mention family/bundle deals for pre-order. For an everyday experience you can do a waffle cone or cup... The waffle cone is huge... A regular (Love It Size) or small size cup (Like It Size) are both great portions and they fill it to the max. You can opt in to mix in your toppings of choice with your icey treat unlike most places where you just get all those extras on top and they melt in. The Gotta Have It (large) is great for sharing and you can probably play around with more variety and flavors. You can choose from things like Cake Batter, Mint, Pumpkin Bread, Strawberry, Classic Cookie Dough, Peanut Butter Cookie Dough and more... Cold Stone Creamery T.O. also has pretty cool non-dairy options including the new Silk Almond Milk based Chocolate and Mango sorbet... Which being a picky weirdo about chocolate milk (elementary school flashbacks) and chocolate ice cream I usually go for sorbet all day unless it's some non-dairy vegany double chocolate chip (it's the chips and crunch). We enjoyed our treats in the shared patio area for the marketplace, just a few feet left of the entrance. Aside from the small serving of service it's definitely something that hits the spot. Somewhat of a stroll from most parking areas but the prices are pretty good to be honest ranging from $6.50 and up.

    Sadly it's ran by young kids that don't clean or jump in to help others when there's a crowd.

    Let me just say, I'm a big fan of Frost It!…read more My hubby & I started coming here for their amazing cupcakes when they opened. Quickly, we became regulars. I can't even name all the flavors that we fell in love with, but red velvet, lemon, strawberry, salted caramel & chocolate peanut butter just to name a few. We were sad when we found out that they were transitioning from a cupcake store to a by-appointment cake shop, but I understood why. My husband & I vowed that when we got married, we would use them as our wedding cake baker. So, when we decided in July 2015 that we were getting married, we set out to make an appointment in a few months. Our appointment was scheduled for June 2016. Our friends who were visiting us, one of them was a bridesmaid, came with us for our cake tasting. My bridesmaid also paid for our wedding cake as a gift! I was blown away at such an extravagant gift ($800+)!!! We ordered for a 3 tiered ombré cake based on our wedding colors... sapphire, emerald & turquoise. The cake was supposed to be sapphire on the bottom tier & slowly transition to emerald & transition to turquoise. The flavors we picked were lemon, white velvet & chocolate. The cake was beautiful, but not quite the ombré cake I was expecting. There wasn't a seamless transition in color, which is what ombré cakes are known for. The flavors were right, but were not on the their assigned tiers. I didn't bother to complain as we were already on our honeymoon when we realized that our cake contract didn't match the cake we actually got. The cake was beautiful & delicious, so I didn't care at that point. Unfortunately, many guests didn't get the chance to even try out me cake as the cake cutting didn't happen until much later in the night & it started to get very cold. The venue saved most of our cake & we took part of it to eat with our of town family leaving the next day. They all commented that it had been one of the best cakes they've tried. So, nonetheless, I was still happy with the cake, even with the mistakes & that is my reason for 4 stars & not 5. Check out their Instagram page, you will get a much better idea of the kind of cake artistry they are capable of. Beware, you'll get hungry looking!

They used all of our reference photos and delivered the exact cake we expected. Not to mention how delicious and moist the flavors were! We went with a 3-tier cake for our fall wedding and decided on the white velvet with raspberry and white velvet with blackberry with salted caramel buttercream and then pumpkin spice with cream cheese buttercream and caramel drizzle on top. They really stood above their competition, we were so happy we found them!

    Had them for the first time on my birthday, though definitely on the pricy side…read more But they're so beautiful! Accidentally held one cupcake sideways just as I opened the door home, so the frosting got smushed but obviously didn't affect the flavor. I think this review will be heavily biased by user error thus the 5 stars though my feelings are more on 3 stars. Since we were all busy, we'd have to eat them around 10+ hours after buying and to make sure nobody accidentally ate them before my birthday; we stored them in the fridge instead of room temp which clearly did something to the frosting and cakes. Family's average favorites in order are red velvet, the confetti, cookies and cream, smores, and strawberry. The red velvet is pretty good, it's pretty rich and moist compared to the other cupcakes and the cream cheese frosting is so nice. S'mores has a strong dark cocoa flavor but also was dense and a little dry. Strawberry and confetti had nice fluffy frosting but due to the fridge mistake, it was kinda like eating chilled whipped butter. I strangely really enjoyed that. Confetti also felt and tasted like corn bread; I wasn't there to choose or see the flavors, but it was a fascinating surprise when I kept chewing and felt grit between my teeth. I didn't expect the birthday cupcake to taste like a southern take on fairy bread? But it isn't bad! Overall, I feel like they're a nice place for a little treat--the red velvet is definitely their signature for a reason. But for ~$7-10 a cupcake the flavors we chose seem to lack a reason to come back :( Unless you have dietary restrictions! I didn't try them but they have keto, vegan, and gluten free options; I know how hard it is to find a bakery that honors all 3. I also got my cupcake in one of those adorable birthday boxes (bearer of the unfortunate frosting carnage so no photo) but the butterfly is so cute! They're definitely worth a visit once, the bread puddings looked fun too, but unfortunately it seems the cupcakes are just not my cup of tea.

    I really hate to do this but our experience was really disappointing…read more I was looking around for local bake shops & bakers, other than the popular Bundt or Arleens, because we wanted something special for my friends birthday. I found Cake and Love, saw the reviews and thought "why not?" I love supporting local small businesses. I knew the designs weren't up to par compared to other places, however I read that the cakes tasted really good. My friend Marc ordered them and requested 4 cupcakes but the owner said she could only do a dozen. The design requested for the cupcakes was to write the name on 4 and the rest with birthday + Halloween designs. And he ordered four different flavors. She had a week to prepare and offered to drop them off. Not only was she an hour late, but she practically rushed off without giving us a chance to look at the cupcakes to check them. You can only imagine our disappointment when we opened the box. It looked absolutely terrible, rushed and as if a child decorated these. These cupcakes were for an adult. The taste was just ok too. The chocolate cakes were mushy, the red velvet were dry and the other two were 'eh.' It was too late to find something else so we sucked it up and used them to sing happy birthday anyway. Regardless if there was any mis-communication, this is not acceptable. And I feel that we deserve a refund.

I was asked to order a cake for a Retirement celebration. Ordering a large cake for a grand celebration put a lot of pressure on me. Costco is nice and the pricing is great, but it lacks the wow factor that I wanted for this special celebration. We had co-workers that were retiring after over 20 years of service, one retiree had over 50. So this cake had to be spectacular in looks and taste. After researching and reading many reviews, I decided to stop by and speak with Skiff to see what they offered. The minute you walk into their quaint bakery, it definitely felt unique and warm. Speaking with the gal behind the counter who assisted me in answering all my questions on the cake, pricing and decorations to make the cake look very classy and have the wow factor. I wanted whipped cream for the frosting, but was concerned that it might be too soft. I have had whipped cream that has a marshmallow texture and is not too sweet. This is exactly what was given to me to taste test. It was delicious. Since this was going to be for about 50 co-workers, we decided on a white cake, fresh strawberry, custard Bavarian cream with whipped cream. The decoration was subtle and classy with touches of gold and white chocolate as decoration on the cake. I decided to order cupcakes to bring home to try their flavors. Each cupcake was unique and so delicious. So I knew the cake was going to be amazing. Picking up the cake, they helped me to my car and ensured the cake was not going to slide around through the drive. How thoughtful. And of course, the cake did not disappoint. They had white shaved chocolates with gold touches to look like flowers in the corners of the cake. It was stunningly beautiful, classy and just so delicious. This is an amazing, unique wholesome bakery. I just hope they stay small, personable and special. I would highly recommend ordering any baking needs from Skiff's Cakes. You will not be disappointed and will have a wow factor for your guest to enjoy during any special occasion or gathering. Or even taking a dozen cookies or cupcakes to any gathering. They will up any spread to compliment both visually and taste that all will appreciate and enjoy. Thank you Skiff!! I am so glad that I have discovered a bakery that I can rely on for any bakery needs that I will need for the future. Attaching a picture of the cake but erased the names for privacy purposes. The picture does not justify the wow factor of this cake.
