Cold Stone Creamery — Restaurant in Austin

Not an accommodating parlor.

It was my first cold stone creamery experience and the cookie dough flavor was too sweet, but I wasn’t expecting it to be that way. I took a bite of the cone and a spoonful of the ice cream after I headed out and when I came back typically ice cream parlors can give you a different flavor at no cost but this parlor doesn’t do that.

I’d understand more if I had finished the ice cream and then complained, but I only had a bite. I truly wasn’t expecting it to be that sweet it hurt my stomach. Staff was nice, but there should be something in place if a flavor wasn’t expected to be a certain way. It’s such a common flavor that I didn’t feel the need to taste it before I bought. For over $9 for an ice cream cone I’d hope that there’s a way to keep customers satisfied. On top of that I waited 5 minutes before...

There are several Cold Stone Creamery branches around the Austin area including this branch on Hwy 183 in the same shopping complex carpark as the Austin Aquarium. They have indoor seating and a couple outside tables as well. Otherwise, you can always do take-away. Opening hours are 11am to 10pm daily.

Cold Stone specialises in homemade ice-cream daily. It is comprised of 12-14% butterfat which makes it rather creamy. Ice-cream is mixed with toppings and sauces on a frozen granite stone slab before being served in cup or cone. They have signatures or you can custom order. I recently enjoyed a Mint Mint Chocolate Chocolate chip which was a very good version of the mint chocolate chip ice-cream. Would gladly return to have another serving and to try other flavour...

If you’re in the Austin area and craving something sweet, Cold Stone Creamery near the Austin Aquarium is a must-visit! 🍦 The ice cream here is incredibly fresh, creamy, and full of flavor—exactly what you need on a warm day or just to treat yourself.

What makes this location even better is the amazing service—the staff are friendly, patient, and make the whole experience fun, especially when they mix your favorite toppings right in front of you on the cold stone!

It’s also conveniently located next to the Austin Aquarium, so it’s the perfect stop for dessert after a day of exploring. 🐠🧁

Highly recommend checking it out—you won’t be...
