Vegan Options at Cold Stone Creamery


Disclaimers:

All items (other than fresh fruit & nut mix-ins/toppings) at Cold Stone Creamery are considered accidently vegan. Meaning, there may be 1-2 ingredients like sugar and natural flavors that we’re not able to learn the origin or processing info.

Cross-contamination can occur at restaurants that are not 100% vegan. Equipment and prep surfaces may share with animal-menu items.

Ask your Cold Stone Creamery location if they can use clean items and if you choose mix-ins, ask them to mix it in separate pan and not on the shared cold plate.

Ultimately, you choose your level of comfort.
