Found a hair near the bottom of the cone. Employee told us they couldn't give us a refund as my daughter ate most of the ice cream nor a gift card. She had to text the manager. She offered us a new cone but my daughter noticed they were not wearing hair nets or gloves. We also noticed opened drinking bottles at the counter. - Mae Lazaro

The Ultimate Ice Cream Experience®: Cold Stone Creamery at Garden State Plaza in Paramus, NJ

Introduction / Overview

For anyone seeking a premium, made-to-order frozen dessert experience in Northern New Jersey, **Cold Stone Creamery** at the **Garden State Plaza** in Paramus stands out. Far more than a traditional **Ice cream shop**, this establishment operates as a full-service **Dessert restaurant** and **Cake shop**, specializing in freshly prepared ice cream and custom-crafted frozen treats. The signature experience centers on the use of a frozen granite stone, where the ice cream base is mixed with a wide array of mix-ins—from candies and nuts to fresh fruits and brownies—to create a personalized 'Creation' right before the customer's eyes.

This approach ensures that every scoop is exactly what the customer desires, offering endless flavor combinations. The shop prides itself on making its signature ice cream fresh in-store daily, guaranteeing a quality and richness that New Jersey patrons have come to expect. While the in-store experience is celebrated, Cold Stone Creamery also excels in providing convenient ways to enjoy its products at home, including ready-to-go treats, pre-packed favorites, and spectacular **Ice Cream Cakes** perfect for any celebration, making it a versatile go-to spot for every frozen delight need in Bergen County. The brand's motto of offering a '10-minute vacation®' encapsulates the brief but joyful, indulgent break this **Frozen yogurt shop** (as the broader category is sometimes known) and ice cream parlor provides to mall-goers and local residents alike.

What is Worth Choosing

Choosing Cold Stone Creamery at Garden State Plaza is worth it for the **Ultimate Ice Cream Experience®**—a highly interactive and customizable indulgence that few other **Ice cream shops** can match in New Jersey. The combination of freshly made, dense, premium ice cream with the unique process of mixing toppings on the granite stone allows you to become the architect of your perfect dessert. Whether you crave the dense chocolate richness of the **Midnight Delight®** cake for a special event, or a personal **Birthday Cake Remix™** Creation, the variety is unparalleled.

The availability of major products like the **Cake Batter Confetti™** cake as **Ready for Pick up Now** is a huge advantage for last-minute celebratory needs common in busy suburban life. Furthermore, the commitment to modern convenience through options like **No-contact delivery** ensures the premium ice cream experience is accessible even when you don't want to leave home.

However, local users should be aware that while the brand often emphasizes high standards, individual customer feedback sometimes highlights inconsistencies, specifically related to operational practices. One review mentioned a concerning experience involving hygiene ("not wearing hair nets or gloves" and an issue with a hair in a cone). While one review praised the cakes ("Great place to buy ice cream chocolate cake"), the operational concerns are a factual part of the public data. For those who value personalized flavor and a vast menu above all else, Cold Stone's unparalleled customization makes it a standout choice. For a truly perfect experience, ordering custom cakes or utilizing the convenient grab-and-go options for treats like the **Ice Cream Cookie Sandwiches** provides a premium, low-fuss way to enjoy the brand's best products.
