Ice cream cravings don't exactly send a calendar invite, they just show up. And in a town where most spots shut down by 9 PM, Cold Stone Creamery is usually the only real option left. I started going out of convenience, but then the "Founder's Favorite" got me. I mean... sweet cream ice cream loaded with chewy brownie chunks, crunchy toasted pecans, and ribbons of fudge and caramel? It's hard not to be hooked. At this point, it's my automatic order. The team here is always kind and never judges my very specific request for extra nuts (and they're generous about it, too). Is it the most mind-blowing ice cream I've ever had? Probably not. But it hits the spot every single time, and clearly that's enough to keep me coming back. read more

Although I have an ice cream vice!, this is by far the best crew that works here. They are all kind, friendly, and conversational. The place is always busy, yet they find time to keep is presentable, and they all work very hard. I can appreciate that! The ice cream, for me is always on point, and they remember my order to the T. Makes you feel like you're at home. read more

Review #848 Posted on 1.13.25 We've coming to this Cold Stone location for years now. Most recently we came by after dinner last Friday the 10th. Typically every time we come in, Evidence is working, & he has helped us with our order many times. Evidence helped us the last Friday as well. He's such a nice guy, & a hard & fart worker. Cold Stone has pre packed ice cream with their signature flavors to buy if you don't want to order one custom. They also sell chocolates & candy, as well as Carmel apples. Thank you Evidence for always taking good care of us when we come in. read more

Just a note to costumers, was talking to the employee who works there and told us he has a TWIN BROTHER that also works there. But in hindsight, I got a "Cookie Doughn't you want some" (with gram cracker crust). It was the perfect compliment for my sweet tooth. My mom on the other hand got, "Silk Almond" (add almonds). Was a perfect choice to satisfy her lactose condition. Overall, great choice of Ice Cream, I have no idea why reviews are bad, after all you are making your own Ice Cream with the workers help :) read more

Cold Stone Creamery - Silk Almond (add almonds). Cookie Doughn't you want some (add gram cracker pie crust). - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Tracy, California

Employees were welcoming and experienced. Made my order exactly how I asked and knew what they were doing. Tried the Blueberry banana smoothie and really enjoyed it! Also, I love the apple pie signature creation and that they could change out the ice cream flavor. Quick service. Good ice cream, sweet employees most of the time. Tons of different flavor combinations can be made between all the ice cream flavors and mix ins available. Lots of seating, both inside and outdoors. Not the best parking lot at this location, kind of hard to get in and out with all the traffic from the corner. Indoor and some outdoor seating. Not the cleanest store but always has customers who seem happy. Will be back! read more

do they think this is a joke??? we went tonight for some ice cream as a treat for the family and my brother ordered a love it chocolate and coffee, asked for no mix ins, we have gone here for years and asked for the same order without issue. we get home and he tales a bite and immediately spits it out and realizes there's peanut butter in there. he has a serious nut allergy. like, epi pen and a trip to the hospital type of allergy. he ordered a CHOCOLATE and COFFEE. NO MIX INS. there is absolutely no way they could have mistaken that for some premade menu item and added a shit ton of other toppings including peanut butter oreo and who know whatever else we did not ask for. maybe they misheard or their brains are fried because the music they played in the store was volumed up to the max. the guy who made mine to made a mistake as well that i caught, i had asked for the red velvet and chocolate mixed together but he added strawberry by accident. i laughed it off because it was just a small accident and didnt say anything. you best believe i am going there first thing tomorrow to talk to whoever the owner is and getting them shut down. this is ridiculous read more

This place is absolutely phenomenal, every time I go there they give very good service. They have an excellent combination of ice cream flavors as well. read more

This is the BEST coldstone i have ever been to. the manager Dylan put the perfect amount of sprinkles and he is really good at decorating the ice cream cake i ordered for my dog's quincenera. And they were playing my favorite song Shake It Off by Taylor Swift! Great experience, would definitely buy more ice cream cakes from here. read more

The cold stone employee was so rude and told us that why were we taking so long and rushing us . read more

We went during the closing hours and the staff was still energetic and friendly assisted us with lot of samples. Very clean store and well maintained. None of the ice cream containers are empty. We enjoyed the chocolate brownie and the cotton candy flavor ice creams. read more

The variety of flavors and mix-ins is impressive. Ice cream is fresh, creamy and delicious. The store is always clean . I have tried a variety of flavors and Coffee Lovers is my go to ice cream at this place. read more

So sad to pick up this cake, originally misspelled, smeared, wrong color, and poorly decorated. The new management at the store in Tracy does not uphold the high quality standard they used to have before. Extremely disappointed (and saddened to have such an ugly birthday cake) read more

Thursday 8ish walk in and it's busy... there's atleast 3-4 ppl in front of us and 2 guy guys working. They served everyone in front of us and the rude DoorDash driver in the blink of an eye. My kids ice cream as well worth the price and we both found it delicious! Nice to see 2 hard working young men wish I could have thrown more in the tip jar but we'll be back for sure. The rap music isn't my fav when my kid is with me but it's 2024 and that crap is everywhere wasn't mad at it. read more

(On January 25, 2024 at 11:29 I called cold stone creamery this morning and I asked them to verify my application being submitted and when I asked are you hiring she asked me how old are you? I said I'm 32 years old and then she said oh no no I'm sorry we hire only 17 and 18 year olds. Then I explain to her that she is judging and she is being bias and she is practicing discriminatory actions. She then continued to tell me oh, OK, you wanna work in the back? So she's telling me that she can only hire me if I work in the back and not in the front that only 17 & 18 year olds work in the front.) read more

Cold Stone Creamery - The complaint I made with this morning with the BBB - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Tracy, California

LOVE this place! Best ice cream and everyone who works there is so nice! They always make me and my family feel special. read more

Love the store!!! Everyone is so sweet and friendly! Best ice-cream in town! The ambiance is wonderful. Great place for kids and outings! read more

Ordered oreo overload and there were very few bits of cookies! If its called overload then it should have a LOT!!!

Yay they have silk almond milk chocolate ice cream! I keep coming back for this since I'm lactose intolerant. Minus one star because I always have to have cash since their card reader seems to always be down. But on the plus side, they give military discount! Woopwoop!!! I keep coming here at least once a week. Plus they have Carmel apples, chocolate covered everything and even doggie treats! read more

As every review has stated, the CUSTOMER SERVICE is terrible. The girl who has been mentioned in almost all of these reviews has a hateful vibe right off the bat. We ordered our simple icecream orders with her and she slammed my boyfriends cup on the glass to give to him. We made eye-contact and stared each other down. She knew what she was doing. She continues to ring us up and we do our card transaction. She then leaves mid transaction and doesn't hand us a receipt or says bye, at least. This interaction was one where you had to be there to understand the vibe she gave off but damn was she a B**CH. Tired of brats thinking they can treat their community like trash because they work minimum wage jobs. read more

I walked into Cold Stone this evening.. approximately 8:30p & I wanted to order a smoothie but Kamara (I believe that was her name, I saw it on the cashier) said the machine wasn't working. So there goes that... Just to be clear I'm not giving this location two stars because of that but it was the first impression I got before I noticed her body language. She didn't seem happy, glad or interested in taking my order. I asked for a coffee milkshake & a one scoop flavored ice cream. Her whole demeanor... I tried being nice to her even in return but even then she kept the same attitude towards the whole transaction. Not one single smile or smirk. Will I be coming here again... probably since I like ice cream & this is the only Cold Stone in Tracy. But I will politely have the next client go before me if she's working that day taking my next order. read more

I went to cold stone earlier today with my 9 yr old brother to celebrate his first ollie on a skateboard. He was so excited to get a scoop of birthday cake remix and everything was going great until the guy serving us left the cone on the counter. I asked him politely to replace the cone because the counter was so dirty. He reassured me he had cleaned it earlier in the day but there was drops of melted ice cream and all types of filth. So I just looked at him awkwardly and asked for a different cone again and he said no. I didn't want to cause a commotion since my brother was with me so we just left the place and I had to throw away the cone. I love cold stone ice cream but man I am never coming back here again. read more

Stood in line for 20 minuets only to be told the group in front of us was the last they were taking. I understand policy and cutting off at 10 but maybe someone should have come out and looked at the line and said something instead of having this line form expecting to get some ice cream. 20 MINUETS we stood in line. Got in line before 10 and then the second 10 hit they told us no but took the group of 4 in front of us. I understand you guys were busy but I think someone should have ran outside 15 minuets before and checked instead of wasting out time and we drove all the way across town for ice cream. read more

Absolutely filthy inside. When was the last time they mopped or wiped off the counters? It looks like it's maybe once a year. And the staff could use some customer service training, like greeting the customer with a smile. Sadly, it's a very poorly run business. read more

DEAR GOD THIS PLACE IS FANTASTIC. I've eaten at cold stone before in other cities and I didn't care much for them. I had a $15 gift card for literally 3 years and just let it sit in my wallet, ignored completely. However, in attempts to eliminate gift cards I've had just wasting away, I decided to use my gift card at our local cold stone. Boy, this was the best decision we could have made. Right away, I saw an entire chocolate (almost) everything section behind glass. Caramel and chocolate covered apples. Chocolate covered pretzels, almonds, etc. I was literally a kid in a candy store. I almost forgot about ordering ice cream until we were greeted by a very friendly employee. I asked if I could sample the coffee ice cream and that was all I needed to order a "Like It" coffee ice cream with brownie pieces and M&M's. I was in heaven. The portion size was huge even for the smallest option. On top of that, it was probably the best ice cream combination and ratio of toppings I've ever had. I decided for my next visit I'm going to get one of those carton options to keep in the freezer and get that exact combination again. Maybe even a caramel apple for poops and chuckles. read more

Best Place ever I liked the African American guy, he's so chill and kind. Best best, I like everything Honestly. Forget about bad reviews, just go and see for yourself read more

Two boys helped me out today! Super friendly way to make the best at being at work. Made my ice cream great good amount of mix ins and they packed em up for me to enjoy at home. Well worth the visit read more

Spent a ton of money plus a tip for a custom cake ordered online for my daughter 13th birthday. When I went to get the cake, they said they didn't have the cake and the order never came through (although I had my confirmation). We ended up getting a cake from their freezer and they quickly wrote, "Happy Birthday." Very disappointed because my daughter prefers yellow cake vs. chocolate (he never the reason for the custom order), and that's all they had in the freezer. Could not understand the manager on the phone when I called to clear things up. Never offered an apology, a discount, nothing. Will never do business here again unfortunately. It used to be great. read more

Came here with my family to get ice cream, they have no sample spoons to try ice cream before you buy it. These people who own the store are so greedy that it will break there pockets to let you try ice cream with a regular spoon that is ridiculous! Do better. read more

Customer service was not good. I was told by an employee that there are only 6 people to be in the store at a time and there were already 8 people in the store and another gentleman behind me and they said absolutely nothing to him. There is no social distancing whatsoever. The store is small and not enough room for 6 people to safely be at a 6 foot distance. You have to constantly tell the employees to clean the table off. If I didn't order nuts and fudge, why is this in my ice cream? Doesn't cold stone have a policy on this? Why do the employees in Tracy act like they do not have to do this? I thought this was part of their job. I'll pass on this cold stone location. If I could rate this with a 0 I would. read more

I have patronized this location for many years, ordered birthday cakes and enjoyed ice cream. Customer service is decent but the staff could definitely use some customer service training. Most recently I ordered a Birthday Cake and sadly the writing on the cake was as if someone was learning how to write. When paying $$, they should make sure all the staff gets experience practicing how to write clearly or at least use a stencil cake assistant. read more

We ordered Everybody's (triple pint) size. Noticed it was only filled up to about an inch from the rim. We politely asked why it wasn't full, to which the guy server responded, "isn't that full enough for you?" I wanted to complain to the manager but my hubby said to just let it go because we don't want the guy to lose his job... Product of inflation? So disappointed as that's our son's favorite ice cream place. read more

Cold Stone in not my favorite, partially because I really just like plain ice cream most of the time. For me it's about the flavors. Mix ins? Meh. I also am not a fan of the staff on most days. They usually seem to be barely tolerating the masses, if they even notice them. So, when I got dragged there this time, my expectations were low. So I was surprised to leave the shop delighted. For one, service was fast and fairly friendly. Then, there was the ice cream. Right now they have a whipped Meyer lemon that is really fabulous. Bright clean, flavor. It tastes great with both the milk chocolate and the strawberry. I had it in combination with one and my fried the other. Yum! Based on my experience today, they were a solid three. Since they usually hover between 1 and two for me, that is saying something. read more

I placed an ice cream cake order through the Cold Stone's website for delivery and realized the delivery time chosen was incorrect. Unfortunately, the system doesn't allow you to adjust. I called the store itself to see if they can correct it on the backend but unfortunately they weren't able to. I didn't catch the name of the lady I was speaking to but she was of great helped. She offered to deliver my dads birthday cake herself after her shift. Something she didn't have to do but because I am out of the area, this helped tremendously. I am super thankful for her kindness and willing to go above and beyond for my stupid mistake of choosing the wrong delivery time. read more

The service was quick and the young man that helped us lastnight was so nice, it had great music and it was fairly clean. No complaints, love that they have other options besides ice cream as well! read more

So this location is a franchise which means they don't have to follow the rules as the other Cold Stones. 7/21 is National Ice Cream Day and cold stone corporate sent out an email saying it was buy one get one free. Knowing full well that promotion was out there, they put a sign saying they DO NOT celebrate National Ice Cream Day until AFTER you place your order. Shady business practices from the owner does not play well with your local community. Every franchise is entitled to follow their own rules yes, but at least let your customers know as they walk in that you are not honoring any national campaigns. read more

Hard to understand how this business operates the way it does. The employees never seem to want to hell and there's always one hiding in the back. Every time I come to pick up an order, I have to wait 10-15 minutes before someone comes to the Online Order/Pickup Counter. Tonight, the tall girl with black hair made eye contact with me 3 times before finally coming over to help. I'm always friendly with the staff but this time I've had it. This girl very sarcastically and rudely said "You could've told me it was an online order..." as if its MY job to exclaim what I'm there for instead of simply asking if I'm there up pick up an online order. read more

Friendly, love their enthusiasm. Very helpful. I love their Rocky Road. One thing though... they need to practice wearing gloves when handling food and remove when they handle the register. We can never be too careful in today's world. I'll still come back though. read more

I ordered a custom cake (MADE BY THE SUPERVISOR) and i went to pick it up and it looked like a homemade cake. It was a SKINNY $75 cake that i purchased and what's most DISGUSTING, we found a hair on the cake! I was EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED with the cake. This is also a COVID 19 issue and i have the right to have my money back! Regardless, they weren't going to give me a refund right away. Instead, they wanted me to call them back when the manager was around and what's worst is that they didn't know the manager's schedule! Simply put, there is no manager around to solve any problems you may have regarding custom cakes or anything that any other stores would do is find a solution and make a customer happy. They are not going to give you a refund. NO MANAGER in site. There are misbehaved kids running the store. One of the staff and her name is DESERAY was rude. She was DISRESPECTFUL to a 50 year old adult. They are UNPROFESSIONAL and they do not look HAPPY working there. How do you expect to solve a customer's problem if there is no LEADER in the store to solve at least a simple problem like refunds or exchanges or take a percentage off a cake because a customer spent so much money on a cake and wasnt happy with the result of how the cake turned out. I expected that the cake would look great for a child's bday.. Extremely disappointing!!! I highly don't recommend people purchasing custom cakes there unless its behind the glass... boohoo to them! Lesson learned! This place concerns me BIG TIME regarding lack of SAFETY and SERVICE for the customers!!' read more
