I get why people dig Cold Stone- it's like Subway, but with ice cream and other goodies. I for one just like me some plain, good creamy vanilla ice cream without all the bells and whistles. What can I say? I'm a cheap date and easy to please for the most part so Cold Stone is not on my regular rotation.
That being said, I work with some ladies who while lovely have much more discerning taste and that is where Cold Stone comes to my rescue. Their Ice Cream cakes really are good so whenever there is a birthday or special occasion at work, I pop into Cold Stone and pick up a Coffee House Crunch (Coffee Ice Cream, devil's food cake covered in chocolate and topped with Heath bars). It keeps my ladies satisfied every time.
