Signature Premium Espresso topped with sprinkles and mini M&Ms. The espresso ice cream has a really bold espresso flavor. It tastes exactly like a creamy iced blended coffee drink. Ground espresso beans or chocolate covered espresso beans would be great toppings to add to the menu. Rating: 4.3/5 Signature Premium Orange Bang!® tastes like an orange creamcicle or 50/50 bar. It has creamy vanilla flavor with hint of orange. Rating: 3.5/5 Signature Premium Taro is creamy in the front of the palate and then the taro flavor rounds out the back. The purple color is amazing! Rating: 3.5/5 Signature Premium Cotton Candy Blueberry has a little bit of sugar crystal texture in the ice cream which is reminiscent of cotton candy from the fair or baseball game. The cotton candy flavor is subtle. Rating: 3.3/5 You can also make your ice cream into a shake. Signature Premium Mint Shake has a very bright mint flavor that stays. The shake is thick and creamy. It beats a "shamrock shake" any day. Rating: 4.8/5

We have been to this store 11 times. We most likely will not return. For $8 a cup - the cup was always at least full. We ordered and paid $21 for 3 scoops. When we received them , they were not even full cups and it was obvious the scoops were now 1/2 the size. I mentioned something to the manager who told me I was wrong in thinking it was less ice cream. I said we come all of the time and the spoon would Barely fit in the cup in the past and this time you could see all the way around the ice cream to the bottom of the cup. 3 different people made our scoops and they all came out much smaller. Ok I know they want to make money but when a person is paying $8 for a scoop make them feel like they are not getting ripped off. The manager did not care that I noticed this. I ice cream Rocks BTW. But not for $21 for 3 scoops. Were done here.

In a word - fancy. If youre looking to treat yourself and go upscale, check this place out. Cold Stone kinda started this trend and now its caught on with the addition of liquid nitrogen. Perks: the liquid nitrogen, premium and organic milk, and fresh ingredients. There are NO samples. The ice cream is made fresh before your eyes so that kinda sucks if youre spending the big bucks and dont like what you get. Im the kinda girl that needs to know the ice cream will taste good before indulging so this sucks for me. If youre going organic, be wary that its really rich. Premium is more my style. Ive tried all sort of flavors and add-ons by now and I think the chips ahoy is the best but they do have some interesting flavors like thai iced tea, green tea, and pineapple dole whip. Give it a go if you like fancy.

This nitrogen thing seems to be the next big trend in frozen treats. I first got to try this style of ice cream in SF a couple of years ago at Smitten, and then more recently at Ice Cream Lab in Beverly Hills. This store compares very favorably to those other locations in taste, decor and price, but ultimately its just ice cream, and pretty pricey stuff at that. Its really more the novelty of seeing all that fog come out of the machines while theyre mixing up your ice cream. The ice cream itself is very creamy and delicious, and I think its worth trying at least once so you can see what the hullabaloo is all about.

Very nice. I didnt think this place would stand out from other ice cream places, but wow! This place is amazing! The concept is cool. Quick freezing cream using liquid nitrogen is quite the spectacle. And the result is extremely delicious. The staff here were helpful and made good suggestions when asked. The menu is extensive and takes a little getting used to. They have restrooms for customer here. Basically street parking, its the area. Pleasant stop especially on a hot day. Or any day you are feeling like some awesome ice cream!

If I was rating the ice cream along I would give it a 10!! The BEST ever...but Im not. Im grading my whole experience. The lady that rung me up was helpful. She explained everything to me since it was my 1st time but the rest of the employees there looked like they werent having fun at all. It kinda brought the mood down. Also the restroom was out of order. That sucked because I had to go. A few things to work on for growth and better bussiness: more excitement and a working restroom!

Id much rather go to paradis down the street. Better ice cream, faster service. I also thought it was scary how wet the floor was behind the counter, seemed like any minute someone would fall. Not that they werent working hard, just seems like there could be more things done to streamline the overall quality of service. It doesnt help that the novelty of liquid nitrogen ice cream wears off after a short bit and makes the premium price not worth it.

If you ever thought you could design a better Ice Cream this is the place to prove it. You basically choose every ingredient. Type of Milk, Mix Ins, and toppings. Then they use liquid nitrogen to make your ice cream. It is expensive about $7 a person but a fun treat for the picky Ice Cream eater. Its located right next door to The Spot Cafe where tgey serve ACAI Bowls if you want a healthier frozen treat.

Amazing! The Macha flavor is to die for and my wife swears by the cookie butter ice cream. The kiwi sauce is beyond perfect (sounds wierd, but trust it is the nectar of the gods). I would normally not spend $7 per person for ice cream, but after finding this place, I DO NOW! Lol Simply yummy! portions are huge so bring your appetite.

Got the strawberry bond from the creations list and it was really good. Its about $8 for a good cup of ice cream. I was disappointed when it was gone. Knowing how I wont come here everyday, its extremely worth it. The place itself is small, can get crowded, and busy but I didnt care much since I was there to try the ice cream.

I love the concept of freezing your ice cream on the spot, and it definitely tastes more fresh than anything Ive ever had. The oreos in the cookies and cream are still crunchy! That being said, its expensive for what it is, and I cant justify the price. If money isnt an issue then its definitely worth trying.

Dont come here unless you have cash. They made us wait while they made our order and just told us to leave (without our order) because their credit card system doesnt work. Next time dont make your customers wait around and watch you make something youre not going to give them.

Creamistry only gets three stars for me mainly because the price point. The service was ok the ice cream itself was okay I find that the thrifty ice cream from Rite Aid actually taste better so for the amount that I paid for creamistry its just not worth it.

Just go for the novelty and the showmanship. It is way more expensive than your average ice cream but I must admit its much smoother but for the price Id rather just go to another premium ice cream store.
