Cold Stone Creamery - Tucson

This restaurant is conveniently located right next to a Panda Express, Safeway, Walgreens, and Ace Hardware. They now offer curbside delivery for COVID safety, so you can simply order online, and they will bring it out to you. It's also wheelchair accessible. I usually get a chocolate-dipped waffle cone filled with sweet cream and strawberries, but I decided to try the cherry vanilla yogurt this time, and it was quite good. The place isn't very busy, making it a great spot to enjoy some delicious ice cream.

This restaurant is fantastic! There’s a wide variety of options to choose from. The staff was very friendly and accurately took our orders. The tables were clean, and everyone seemed to be enjoying their desserts. It was a lively mix of young and old, families, and young people all around.

Quick run into the store for ice cream, then quick to my cooler in my car, and ice cream was delicious as I ate it at home, yum! Masks worn, no social distancing needed as I was only one in the store.

One of our favorite indulgences, this place offers an impressive variety of mix-ins, including nuts, cakes, candies, fruits, and cookies. Plus, there are over 15 different ice cream flavors to choose from, such as salted caramel, cotton candy, oatmeal cookie, coffee, and dark chocolate. So why only four stars? The prices for small and medium cups or cones are quite high, and their ice cream cakes, which can cost nearly $40, are the most expensive we've seen. Consistency is also an issue. At times, we receive fantastic and friendly service with generous portions. However, other times—like when we place mobile orders and tip in advance—we end up with a cup that's barely three-quarters full or poorly mixed ice cream. When everything goes perfectly, they deserve an A+. Unfortunately, it's a bit hit or miss, and I’m not really comfortable with the uncertainty.

This location holds a special fondness to me but who doesn't love ice cream?! You get to choose your mix-ins and watch as they create your creamy goodness masterpiece right in front of you. You can imagine your own deliciousness or they offer helpful recipes that you can pick from. I usually get the Founder's Favorite with cheesecake ice cream instead of the sweet cream. It hits the spot when a late night ice cream craving hits. There is seating inside or outside. It is wonderful to sit outside on a warm night under the stars and enjoy a tasty treat.
