Why everyone keeps coming back.

Cold Stone Creamery in Ashburn, VA, is more than just your typical ice cream shop—it’s a delectable destination for anyone seeking a vibrant fusion of frozen treats and creative dessert experiences. Nestled at 42385 Ryan Rd Space 23, this local gem brilliantly blends an ice cream parlor, cake shop, dessert restaurant, and frozen yogurt spot under one roof, promising an array of indulgent flavors and handcrafted delights that spark joy from the very first bite.

Step inside Cold Stone Creamery and you’re immediately met with an inviting, lively atmosphere that’s perfect for families, couples, or anyone craving a sweet escape. The friendly staff excel at making every visit personalized, often going the extra mile to accommodate special dietary needs, as echoed in customer Somair Feroz’s review where the team expertly prepared a nut allergy-safe ice cream in a separate area, demonstrating genuine care and attentiveness.

The real star, of course, is the menu — a vibrant playground of inventive flavors and fusion desserts. For those looking to take the magic home, “Cold Stone For Your Freezer” offers delights like the whimsical Ice Cream at the End of the Rainbow™, which combines Lucky Charms™ Cereal, Whipped Topping, and Gold Glitter for a fun and colorful treat. Or try the Lemon Berry Batter, a luscious blend of Lemon Cake Batter™ Ice Cream, Lemon OREO® Cookies, Lemon Pie Filling, and fresh Strawberries that bursts with bright, tangy sweetness.

If you're thinking about sharing or celebrating, their Ice Cream Pies provide a customizable option that’s as delicious as it is fun — choose your favorite ice cream flavors, mix-ins, and frostings pressed into a crunchy pie crust. The Caramel Apple Pie, laden with Sweet Cream Ice Cream, Apple Pie Filling, a swirl of cinnamon and caramel, and topped with fluffy cinnamon frosting, is a comforting homage to classic American fall flavors, while the Caramel Turtle Treat Pie™ offers a rich and nutty delight.

Cold Stone Creamery also reflects a heartfelt commitment to community support. Customers can choose to add a $1 donation to bstrong, a disaster recovery organization founded by Bethenny Frankel. This thoughtful feature reinforces Cold Stone's dedication to making a positive impact beyond just serving incredible desserts.

The ice cream is always great. However I was touched by the extra care the staff took to make an ice cream for my daughter with nut allergy. The staff made it in a completely separate area and was very knowledgeable and helpful.

I described the exact type of shake I wanted and I apologized Because most times people mess it up and they don't want to take that time on it. I got a coffee with cake batter and caramel... Young lady who did my order did it wonderfully. I have not been coming to Cold Stone creamery because no one can make it as thick as I want it because I'm literally driving from Virginia to almost the other side of West Virginia and I don't want to melt. I want to be able to enjoy it. I took the sip test. After I paid for it... It was amazing! Thank you guys so much! And when you get something good like that you're supposed to tip ridiculously. And I did.

I recently visited Cold Stone Creamery at Brambleton, and I wanted to share my thoughts on the experience. I love that Cold Stone Creamery offers a wide variety of inventive ice cream flavors and mix-ins. It's always exciting to try something new, and your menu delivers on that promise. I appreciate the creativity in flavors and the commitment to quality. I believe the experience could become even more enjoyable. Thank you for serving such delicious ice cream!

Who complains about ice cream? Cold Stone makes good ice cream and plenty of toppings if you want. The young staff (high schoolers) working that night were courteous and professional. The only drawback is the lack of seating. Not a conducive setting for a family looking for dessert nor a great place for friends to hang and chill with a treat.

When i went staff was very friendly and took my order as soon as possible. They fulfilled my requests to perfections. I ordered a birthday cake remix and a founders favorite. I really enjoyed the birthday cake remix. However the founders favorite was not up to par there wasn’t a good ratio of ice cream to toppings. Overall staff is really friendly and the food was solid but could be improved. I will be coming back
