Our Lingo: The Cold Stone Glossary

The Cold Stone Glossary

Auditions – Because Cold Stone Creamery places such emphasis on creating a fun, entertaining experience for every customer, crew members are auditioned, not interviewed, and are often asked to sing from the Cold Stone Creamery song book as part of the process.

Cake Batter™ Ice Cream – Homemade ice cream that tastes just like cake batter straight from the bowl.

Cold Stone Original^™ – Our favorite Creation recipe combinations of ice cream and Mix-ins.  Some are tried and true favorites, but with a new Cold Stone^® twist.  Some are our own unique ice cream innovations. 

Creation™ – A smooth and creamy ice cream treat that combines super-premium ice cream with a variety of fruit, nuts, chocolate and other goodies customized for each customer, creating a mouthwatering dessert.  Creations™ come in many forms:  cups, waffle bowls and cones, shakes, smoothies and cakes.  Create your own favorite or choose from the Cold Stone Originals.

Ganache – A sweet creamy chocolate mixture used mainly as a filling or frosting.

Ghea – Imported from Italy, it’s the display case - or dipping cabinet -- that houses all the ice cream flavors at a Cold Stone Creamery.

Granite Stone – The frozen stone that is used at all of our locations. It’s the best stone for blending ice cream with Mix-ins because of its even non-porous surface and its ability to remain at a constant five degrees Fahrenheit.

Ice Cream Lovers - People, like you, who love really good ice cream. 

Mix-ins – The nuts, fruits, brand-name candies and other good stuff that gets blended into the ice cream for the ultimate indulgence. Mix-ins range from homemade brownies to cookie dough, Snickers^® to Gummi Bears and everything in between.

Spade – At Cold Stone Creamery, scoops are out, spades are in. These are the tools crew members use to portion and blend your favorite ice cream with Mix-ins on the frozen stone.

Super-Premium – This is the category of ice cream that best fits Cold Stone Creamery. But Cold Stone Creamery goes beyond super-premium because the ice cream is made fresh every day in every store.

Sweet Cream – A flavor that tastes like pure homemade ice cream, just like Grandma used to make.

The Creamery – The worldwide headquarter office of Cold Stone Creamery, Inc.

The Way I Want It – A phrase that describes how Cold Stone Creamery makes a personalized ice cream dessert for each and every customer. There are literally millions of possible ways for customers to create the Ultimate Ice Cream Experience^®.

Waffle Bowl/Cone – A fun way to enjoy ice cream with a spoon and a cone. Waffle bowls and cones are homemade every day using our signature waffle batter and traditional Italian pizzelle irons. The hot waffles are then formed into bowls and cones.
