32 SEPTEMBER 17-23, 2014 Best of Fayetteville Best Ice-Cream Shop Cold Stone Creamery 5075 Morganton Rd 910.868.4323 www.coldstonecreamery.com People have loved ice cream for centuries. It was first brought to America in 1744, and it has been a national staple ever since. Twenty-five years ago another breakthrough in ice cream preparation occurred with the opening of Cold Stone Creamery. It begins with delicious high quality ice cream. They have a huge variety of flavors to choose from — the classic vanilla and chocolate to the more creative flavors such as cake batter and French toast. Some flavors are seasonal, like candy cane, and each creamery is unique so flavors may vary depending on location. The ice cream itself is delicious, but the real magic happens on the cold stone slab. A scoop of ice cream, any flavor, is combined with one or several mix-ins to create a delicious and unique ice cream creation. Some of the common mix- ins available are chocolate shavings, yellow cake and any number of crushed cookies or candy bars. No matter what combination, it is sure to be delicious.
