I stopped into Cold Stone Creamery and tried the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory chocolates that they sell—WOW! The quality and flavor were absolutely amazing. You can tell it’s premium chocolate from the very first bite. On top of that, the customer service made the visit even better. Luis was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience feel personalized. Great product + great service = perfect visit! Highly recommend!

I absolutely LOVE cold stone already. And now that we have one right here in town is even more exciting. I have visited a number of times already and each time I visit, I remember why I feel in love with this ice cream brand in the first place.

one of the best, brightest, & cleanest cold stones i’ve ever been to. staff was amazing - they were all super friendly and patient with me when making my decisions, even one of the managers Luis popped out to say hello & ask how things were going. 1000/10 will be back, the staff & ice cream couldn’t be more perfect.

I was in the valley, stopped by ColdStone, although they had a line. I wanted to try their ice cream “coffee lovers” yumm… I probably waited for 30 mins, which is fine, understandable they just opened. I wasn’t expecting fast service. Crew and management they did their best to serve me. Will definitely come back again. Oh and don’t forget about the chocolate factory.. them Caramel apples look tasty!

I visited the Cold Stone Creamery located at 17430 N. Porter Road, Suite 100 in Maricopa, Arizona on a Saturday afternoon. There was a party of 2 people in front of me and someone took their order. She walked into the back of the store and another employee took my order. I ordered a “create your own” in the smallest sized cup with French Vanilla Ice Cream and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup. She prepared my order and it was ready before the other employee returned from the back of the store. The total including tax was $6.61. I took a seat in the lobby and enjoyed it. The ice cream was cold and thick and the combination of the two ingredients was yummy. As I was enjoying my treat, 8 more customers got in line. Right behind me was a party of 5 people. I was done eating and walked out of the store before their order was ready. I got through the line pretty quickly, but it seems as though the service does take time. It was pretty expensive for what I got, but it did taste good. Now to work off those calories. I would recommend this place to others, but bring some patience with you.
