Cold Stone Creamery
This place is absolutely addictive. There are two close by in my area with one of those two being only 3-4 minutes away.
My favorite order is the Cake Batter ice cream with yellow cake mix in...in the Love It size. Extremely tasty. I also enjoy the Cake 'n Shake shake. It uses the same Cake Batter ice cream flavor and a yellow cake inclusion.
I noticed recently that there's a seasonal pumpkin ice cream flavor available. It looks good but I have yet to try it. Not sure what kind of mix in would be good with this. I am thinking perhaps the same yellow cake mix in or white chocolate chips.
What is your favorite thing to order at CSC?
Do you also enjoy the cakes? I've never been a big fan of ice cream cakes overall, however I am a rabid fan of most desserts with anything involving buttercream icing. I usually like a bit more icing than cake and even look forward to large icing flowers or decorative dollops atop of cakes that give a bit more icing.
That stuff is insanely addictive to me but I notice most ice cream cakes use whipped icing that is either ganache or whipped cream based at CSC. It's ok but not what I'd rave about the most.

i would have to disagree and say cold stone is the most overrated ice cream place. i would rather have a friendlys peanut butter cup sundae any day of the week over any of the slop from cold stone. plus it is over priced

I agree that Cold Stone is over rated and over priced. I'll take Baskin-Robbins over CS any day  |

I thought the question was asking what you liked to order at CSC, not whether or not you think it is best -_-
Personally, I am all about the mint or sweet cream mixed with shredded coconut with a waffle bowl in like it. Haven't had the shakes though, will have to try that one day.

I just recently discovered Cold Stone Creamery. I love the raspberry sorbet mixed with berries.

Really people, all the person asked is what you would eat if you happen to frequent this establishment. I don't think cold stone can even be compared to DQ, or Baskin Robbins or whatever. 
Anyway, I like any of the tropical ones. My husband likes the Cocoa Banana Cabana. They have awesome Banana Splits too, but we share that because it is HUGE!  |

We have both Cold Stone and Marble Slab and I like them but I also LOVE Baskin Robbins as well.
While I like Dairey Queen as well FOR ME, their ice cream doesn't live up to the same quality.

While we were on vacation in Cancun years ago, we met a nice family from Washington state. They simply loved CSC. I couldn't wait for CSC to come to our area. Then, when I finally found a CSC I was disappointed. Just overpriced buttery ice cream. I have never been back since. This is the first ice cream I've ever said "no" to (probably a good thing for me). Do you think it's an acquired taste...like starbucks? Or, perhaps I ordered an odd combinaton?

I think maybe it's just the "something different" factor?? I also like starbucks, but there's a privately owned place I like better. And I also like Barnies, which is a Florida company though so not all over. Starbucks espresso tend to be a little bitter for me sometimes. |

Nothing will ever top the place of my childhood called Kimballs, it was a diary and they also made their own ice cream...the traffic was so heavy they had to hire traffic cops to help control it, it was near Boxborough Mass, I would have to check a map to remember exactly...
The yanks know how to make ice cream. We used to drive almost an hour to get to that place...it was THAT good.
