Cold Stone Creamery — Restaurant in Bismarck

Best ice cream in town, hands down! Founders Favorite is where it's at for my money. Caramel, chocolate, brownie chunks...all swirled into delicious sweet cream ice cream.

I know it's hard to find employees but the good ones keep customers coming back. The ones like that young guy today who wasn't even wearing a name tag make you never wanna...
