I ordered a single scoop of chocolate ice cream — a “Like It” size — for $6.25.
According to the website, the size I ordered should’ve given me about 5 ounces of ice cream, an ounce more than what I got at Baskin-Robbins.
I asked for it in a cone — which was an additional $1.95 — making the total over $8 for a single scoop, which I thought was pretty expensive.
To be fair, though, I could’ve had two ice cream flavors mixed together and a topping mixed in (the Cold Stone signature) for no extra charge.
Cold Stone had several scoop sizes, but minimal cone sizes. Although the big waffle cone had a more premium feel than a basic wafer or sugar cone, it made my small scoop of ice cream look disappointing.
It also threw off my cone-to-ice-cream ratio and made the dessert feel imbalanced.
Cone aside, the ice cream was incredibly creamy, but it didn’t have a very strong chocolate flavor, and I wished it packed a bit more of a punch.
Based on current prices, this ice cream would now cost about $6.95, plus an extra $1.75 for the cone.
