| - I was debating whether to give Cold Stone a 4-star or 5-star, but what really set it apart for me was one specific visit.
My mom wanted a caramel apple with just white chocolate, which they didn't have. The store manager (who works behind the counter a lot) took it upon herself to make a fresh caramel apple just with the white chocolate, as well as slice it for my mom. That's what I call going above and beyond, very very good in my books.
The ice cream is also really good. The Birthday Cake Remix (sweet cream with brownie, hot fudge, sprinkle) is to die for, it's delicious. Other Signature Creations they have also sound delicious, and I'd probably try about 80% of them (a lot of times the Signature Creations at places just seem bad to me). The ice cream is so creamy, and that's what makes good ice cream.
The inside of the store is really nothing great. It's clean, but very small. It's small because it doesn't need to be big--right behind it is the Park at Blakeney, which features live music and a playground, so seating out there is plentiful. Fantastic location.
Overall, if you're ready to indulge, I'd give Cold Stone a try. If you're looking for a healthier option, though, TCBY is just a few stores down, and is also delicious.
