Portion sizes are massive and put together well. Nothing to really dislike there. The shop itself is sort of odd. I'm ancient enough to not be so far removed from the times this parlor emulates. We've now entered parody of a parody of a parody territory, far removed from the original source material. Love the outdoor seating and pin board. The girl who runs it is cool. Not very personable, but feels real. The "souvenirs" are just some random stickers. Definitely recommended for the main offering of finely crafted ice cream treats.

As a DoorDash driver, I picked up an order from Cold Stone on April 28th. Just as I arrived, the…read morecustomer messaged requesting no blueberries in their cheesecake ice cream. I informed the two employees, but they handed me a pre-made order and insisted it had no blueberries. After checking in my car, I found that it did contain blueberries. I returned inside, politely showed them the customer's message, and asked for a remake. One employee reacted very rudely, but another remade the order without issue. Later, when I called to speak with a manager, the same employee who remade the order hung up on me. I went back on May 18th after filing a harassment report against that employee (who also works at Chili's and has been pointing and laughing at me with other staff). I asked to speak directly with the GM, and while I was calmly explaining the situation, a police officer arrived and issued a trespass notice. No explanation was given when I asked for details on how I supposedly made anyone uncomfortable. As a result, I've now been blocked from accepting orders at this location, which directly affects my income in a small market where every delivery matters. I've attached a screenshot of the customer's request. This is an example of totally unprofessional and retaliatory behavior.

Go somewhere else where customers are appreciated.

We are not from CO…read moreso I'm dismayed we don't have a Josh & John's in California (although it looks like they have nationwide shipping). Their prices are definitely a little bit higher (I think $9 a pint) but I still think about that $9 pint!! We only grabbed the Purple Mountain Majesty (his rec) and I love love this flavor even though I don't usually gravitate towards taro/ube flavors. I keep thinking that it's ube because of the food coloring they use, but their powders are actually taro! It's a very light taro (don't expect heavy taro) flavor with the yummy chocolate raspberry chunks. I could be overhyping this flavor but if I'm ever in the state again, I'd 100% stop by for a Purple Mountain pint.

There is on-street parking in front of the restaurant, a shared parking lot "behind" the restaurant, and quite a bit of parking by the park a few blocks away. I had a cinnamon roll and a Stage Stop burrito and a sausage biscuit sandwich. I also had help! Hey! Yer eating the burrito before I took the photo! The burrito has the sausage gravy from the biscuits and gravy, but you can also get green chili on it. The biscuits are huge! Yay! There were 4 tables for dine in, but the food is packed to go. For their first day back, they are offering a free something for folks with a partially punched loyalty card. Surprise! You can reach 1 Pokésto and 2 Pokémon Gyms and a Dynamax Spot from the restaurant.

It's also up for sale so someone who can afford it come save this business! I ordered a Strawberry Turnover and Vanilla Mountain Frost w/ Whipped Cream (frappé). The strawberry turnover was good, my only complaint is that only half it had a good amount of strawberries and cream cheese. The frappé tasted like straight coffee. I paid an extra $1 for whipped cream and I couldn't really tell it was there. I may not have set my expectations right when ordering it, but it was just okay. It's a very small shop, not a whole lot of room. Music is playing so it isn't deafening silence. There is plenty of seating outside, which is great when the weather permits it. The customer service was not very present. There was one person working the whole store so I'm not going to bash it with a lack of effort. Effort was certainly present, it's hard to run a place alone. But it took a long time for us to get our drinks. Side note: the lids on the freshly squeezed orange juice are truly loose (as the signage says) and it was spilling the whole drive back. Trust the sign

Pros: I thought I knew what I wanted; Lady Liberty Sundae (2 scoops butter pecan, caramel sauce, whipped cream, cherry), but then I sampled the lingonberry white chocolate and had a hard time choosing. Sure I could have gotten both, but the white chocolate won out; barely. So got that with caramel and rainbow sprinkles. A hint of tartness from the lingomberry. Husband got the peanut butter chocolate chip. He says he enjoyed it and would get again. Friendly staff, they don't rush you like other places. And answers any question that you have without feeling like your bothering them. The ice cream did taste fresh like they made it that day, which if they do I wouldn't be surprised. And thats a good thing, something I commend businesses that make their own food. Cons: Very very minor. The caramel came off in clumps rather than a smooth consistency. Recommend? Yes. I'd go back for the staff and ice cream. It's worth it.
