I love Coldstone but haven't been there in awhile.
Yes it's pricey but I'm usually not the one paying for it!
However, I do believe I liked this one place my mom and brother went to down in Branson, MO during our vacation after nationals 07. it was definitely an old-time ice cream parlor straight out of the fifties and was both entertaining and good! Oh, and the view from across the street was incredible...ice cream is always the best on a hot summer day while looking down on a city where the people seem like ants from where you are!
