I drove through several neighborhoods to find the plaza of shops that included this hidden gem. The signs outside were very welcoming as was the inside area with a nice ambiance, great customer service, and tasty offerings. The shop is family owned and operated, very proud of their Sunnyslope community, and according to the Local First Arizona website, "convinced that ice cream is the key to happiness," which I certainly would agree with! You can fill up with water (which even has 24/hour access outside the shop), grab a shaved ice, or get some ice cream or a float or shake (plus so much more!). They have a seating area, and while the shop is run by a family, the staff seem to do a wonderful job making everyone feel likely family when they come in. As I came in, I heard a friendly banter between the staff there and the customer before me. I also received some friendly service and great recommendations. I ordered a chocolate cappuccino flavor which was delicious! They also have a seating area though I chose to take my ice cream to go. In fact, they have freezers of ice cream of all sorts to go.

There were holes through the outside layer so you could see the ice cream inside. The cake was uneven and not sitting flat on the base. The sprinkle layer was uneven. Inside was just as bad. Cake layer was wavy. Mid layer ganache was missing entirely. I called the store multiple times asking for the owner to contact me. I sent him two emails with pictures of the cake. No response for three days so I sent a complaint to their corporate website and wow! Finally got a response. Andreas, the owner, basically said that I shouldn't have expected anything more since the cake was made by 16-18 year old kids and they are not professionals. He then proceeded to offer me a coupon for a future cake order but only if I printed out the email and gave it to the cashier at time of purchase........ What in the world?!?! His website mentions that Cold Stone provides catering for weddings and other events. Buyer beware- do not expect professionally made cakes! Literally go anywhere else for a cake.

Being in Arizona where the weather is 110 degrees or hotter for a good portion of the year (at…read moreleast this year), it's always nice to have a place nearby with tasty ice cream. As an Arizona-based ice cream restaurant, I have come to expect reliable service and yes, consistently tasty ice cream products. I have placed orders at this Cold Stone Creamery location over the years in-person and through Uber Eats. When I go in-person, half the time there is a long line (depending on the day of week and time of day) and the other half of the time, there is no one in line. When I ordered ice cream through Uber Eats, I was able to skip the line if I ordered it for pickup, and if I ordered delivery, the line and waiting in person wasn't even a factor. My wife and I both love the Oreo Overload creation. Mine will have the traditional sweet cream ice cream while my wife's changes the base to chocolate ice cream. We used to also regularly get the Chocolate Devotion creation though changed it to Oreo Overload over the last few years. We really enjoy the mini chocolate chips. One time they ran out, and we got full size chocolate chips instead but that wasn't the same. We also really when the employees make a bit too much ice cream and they put the extra in a small cup for us. Yum! We have also enjoyed being a part of the My Cold Stone Club Rewards program which can be tied to an e-mail or phone number. For every 50 points earned (usually a point per dollar spent), you earn $5 off your next purchase. You also receive a Buy One Get One Free coupon for your birthday (which works great on the Gotta Love It size, which makes for multiple servings each). There are also double point promotions and other $3 or $5 coupons sent randomly. Cold Stone Creamery also had a gift card promotion for Black Friday this year where you would receive a $15 bonus eCard for every $50 in gift cards purchased on their website. While I have enjoyed the ice cream and the service at this Cold Stone Creamery location, I do so miss the days when the employees would sing a song when you leave a tip. Now, I'm getting hungry for ice cream...

The business name on the exterior store front actually says "Water & More" so don't come here looking for "Neptune's Waters" as listed on their Yelp business page. There's plenty of parking, it's shared parking with multiple businesses in a strip mall setting. A few doors down is Goodwill and you can't miss that. Inside of this place is completely hole in the wall vibe. If you've ever gone to Tijuana Mexico for dental services like I have and had to sit in their waiting room lobby, this is that kind of vibe. Forget the nice ambience you've seen at Coldstone Creamery or Baskin Robbins, this ain't it so be prepared. If Chef Ramsay from Hell's Kitchen had a restaurant rescue episode and they were doing ice cream shops than they would NEED to come here. The interior of this store has the same level of appeal as a Chevron gas station public restroom. I hope they will change this. Older 2+ year reviews show nicer IKEA type of furniture pieces in store but that's not the case now. Currently, it looks like they went to Goodwill next door and got the most run down furniture pieces they could find and took that into their own store. This was our very first time here so we had questions. We asked about sizes, pricing and flavors. The worker was a female high school looking person. The questions we asked were weakly answered in a bare whisper tone even though there was a live TV in the background that superseded the workers whispering tone. Not sure if she was trying to be girly cute or win the most unprofessional worker of the year award but she was definitely NOT wanting to be working there. She might as well be wearing a shirt that said "I H8 my job" as this already showed in her face and demeanor. We would have been better served by a robot drone than this live person. If you think you're having a great day and nothing can change your mood, than please come here and experience their customer service. It will make you think twice about that good day you're having. So she wasn't exactly rude but simply unfriendly. Maybe we interrupted her social media livestream before we entered the store, who knows? We are a couple in our 40's with a teen daughter, a typical family from Hawaii. Why couldn't we at least get a "hello how are you guys doing?" from the high school looking worker. Did we look like Puff Diddy henchman white party recruiters to her? No we're not but she was socially awkward like we were. Truly weird. Why put her in front to interact with your customers? Place her in back of house duties instead. Let her interact with dirty dishes and taking out the trash instead. Look at my profile pic, I don't give out Puff Diddy vibes, neither does my wife or daughter. Tell your high school worker to pretend that all customers are Justin Bieber and that will mentally prepare her high school mind for correct customer interactions. So finally the ONLY good part of this review: they really do have a great selection of old school Thrifty's ice cream here. All the good flavors you can think of: Butter Pecan, Strawberry Cheesecake, Pineapple Coconut, Chocolate Mint, Chocolate Chip, Cotton Candy, and many many more. Thrifty's ice cream is the best of the best!! The only people who will understand this is the older generation. If your generation played Nintendo and Sega Genesis video games, than you know what I mean. This was the best ice cream back in the day and in my opinion still is awesome. So will I come here again? Yes, I will but strictly only for the ice cream. They do sell other things like filtered water, milk shakes, floats but we only got the ice cream. I highly highly recommend the ice cream so please come here. So as of 12/8/24 the interior design of this place is EPIC FAIL as well as the customer service we got. Business owner(s) of this place please think about retraining your staff. Basic customer service is not rocket science. Here I'll give you some free tips: say a greeting, engage with customers with friendly chatter, offer ice cream samples, and do all this with a smile. ALL of which was not done with us even though we spent almost $40 in ice cream on our 1st visit. But remember, don't expect any form of customer service not even the bare minimum and don't be surprised when you see the inside of the store look like a Tijuana Mexico dental service waiting lobby. Just go and get your ice cream and get out. Enjoy eating that ice cream at home. Best suited for Door Dash or Uber Eats delivery so you don't have to see the inside of the store and deal with their customer service. I actually wanted to give this place 1 star but the ice cream by itself added the extra 3 stars so I reconsidered the 1 star rating. It's that good!!
