Cold Stone Summer 2026

Say goodbye to spring and hello to the Cold Stone Summer 2026 collection. Check out the new ice cream flavors and limited-time creations arriving on May 13.

Cold Stone Creamery officially launched its Summer 2026 menu today. These limited-time offerings are designed to help guests beat the heat at Universal CityWalk Orlando and locations nationwide. The transition from Spring to Summer at Cold Stone Creamery is always a major event for theme park fans and ice cream enthusiasts alike. As the Lemon Cake Batter and Strawberry Marshmallow flavors retired on May 12, the new summer lineup steps in to provide a bolder, more vibrant set of choices. For those visiting Universal Orlando Resort, the CityWalk location serves as the flagship spot to try these creations.

Why Cold Stone Creamery at Universal CityWalk Orlando Makes for a Good Stop

While you can find Cold Stone Creamery locations in almost every major city, the Universal CityWalk Orlando location offers a unique atmosphere that enhances the experience. Located near the entrance to two of the theme parks, it is a prime spot for “people watching” while you enjoy your “Gotta Have It” size bowl.

In 2026, pricing for Signature Creations at this location typically ranges from $6.29 for a “Like It” size to $7.29 for a “Gotta Have It.” While these prices are slightly higher than a standard neighborhood store, the convenience and the ability to watch the skilled crew “toss” ice cream across the counter make it worth the premium. It is also one of the few places where you can grab a high-quality dessert late into the night, as the CityWalk location often stays open until midnight.

The Cold Stone Summer 2026 lineup is a strong showing for the brand, leaning into nostalgia and high-profile collaborations to stay relevant in a crowded dessert market. These flavors provide a perfect soundtrack to a summer spent at Universal Orlando Resort. Make sure to visit before these flavors retire later this season
