Cold Stone Creamery - Silver Spring

Can be a very hit or miss experience. There is almost no seating in the store which can be an issue if the weather is poor or if you want to eat in the AC. Another issue I've run into more recently is them not having a lot of the usual options. I went in one evening and they had zero flavors I actually liked and I had to go elsewhere because it's not worth paying for ice cream you only kinda like. On a good day though they are the best. They always have fast service and when the weather is nice there is tons of seating right across the street. When they have my favorite flavors I find that it is worth the occasional splurge. The quality is there to make paying the higher prices worth it as an occasional treat. Besides a couple of not so great experiences, an overwhelming majority of my visits have been very pleasant. Hopefully they will address the few issues they have over time. I do plan to continue going there when I want to treat myself.

Today was horrible service.... they gave me a melted icecream.... or I should call it fresh vainilla shake? Too bad!

UPDATE YOUR CORRECT STORE HOURS. The silver spring staff for this coldstone are the most unprofessional staff for an establishment. This is the third time I?ve came to this location and they?ve closed earlier than the hours they have posted. This time they had the open sign lit and when I came inside they waved me down and said they weren?t open. Come to this location at your own risk.

The Shakes are very delicious, I love them. I recommend that you try different flavors.

This location is ok... Not the best. I've watched the attendant make the ice cream and they just did it real fast and put drops of toppings and that's it... Back on their phones. The expectation for expensive ice cream is that it's supposed to offer a different experience but the person behind the desk should contribute to that.
