The staff were super friendly and helped check everything was safe for me to eat. They have even brought out a separate tray to mix my ice cream on due to the risk of cross contamination where they usually mix the ice cream. I also ask for a new scoop and they are very accommodating. Felt very safe here!

Review
Staff was friendly and knowledgeable and double checked ingredients in the ice cream flavor as well as toppings. They cleaned the surface before mixing mine, but it is on the same surface. I felt very comfortable.

Review
The employee was willing to bring fresh ice cream and topping (M&Ms) from the back. She did say she couldn’t do the typical mixing process since the stone was a point of cross contact. We were happy to enjoy ice cream with family! No issues and we were very glad she was able to pull fresh ingredients.

Review
After consulting the nutrition/allergen menu and going to other Coldstones, we went in and confidently ordered for my son and me. The server rudely told us “nothing here is gluten free.” I explained to her we had looked at their website and there were safe items and asked if they had unopened ice cream in the back to serve from so there wasn’t risk of cross contamination. She told me they had “no ice cream frozen” and continued to be rude. I had to explain to her what would make our order celiac safe, and she very grumpily prepared it. I would not visit this location.

Review
Excellent experience. As soon as the manager heard gluten -free he said that he will take care of it. He got the ice cream and toppings from new containers in the back. The ice cream is delicious and many gluten free options.

Very detailed information on the cold stone website. Employee made out ice cream in the back away from other items and opened a new sleeve of cups and spoons to avoid cross contamination (without being asked). I was blown away by the extra effort!
