WHAT DID I GET: The avocado ice cream. HOW WAS IT: Delicious, unique, fresh, and very surprising. HOW MUCH DID IT COST: A little under $7 for a small. WOULD I COME BACK: No, and heres why - the service was very cold and unwelcoming. I dont know why, but the people who worked there at the time (a guy in his forties and a girl maybe in her thirties) were just really not hospitable. It was like they were trying to use their body language to tell me to just take my ice cream and GTFO. Even when I tried complimenting their ice cream and telling them how I heard such great things about this place, they didnt even say thank you. They just gave me a fake BS smile and walked away into the back. WOULD I RECOMMEND THIS PLACE: No. For $7 for a SMALL ice cream, I expect not only great ice cream but great service, and this place only gave me half of what I expected. A shame. The way they were acting, you wouldve thought I ran over their dog or something.

Pretty good ice cream but unfortunately we wont be going back after the way we were treated last night. My boyfriend and I checked their hours online, both their website and Google say theyre open until midnight, theyre not. We got there at 11:30, walked in, and stood in line behind customers whose orders they were taking. The cashier told us they were closed but there were still customers in the store and they were taking someones order. Then she told who I presume is the manager and he said they were closed. We reminded them that the websites all say theyre open for another 30 minutes but they refused to serve us, didnt even apologize, and treated us like we were wrong. Quite frustrating since we walked 1/2 mile out of our way. It would have been fine if they werent so incredibly rude about it. We live a few blocks away and my boyfriend and my son love ice cream. Shame, they lost some local neighborhood customers.

Whats not to love about this place, they do liquid nitrogen ice cream made to order! The ice cream itself was really tasty, had a good consistency and flavor. Our toddler was a big fan. The staff was very friendly, and had a good sense of humor, joking with us and other customers. Only issue with had was that the menu was a bit hard to read. So, it took us a bit longer to order as a result.

Интересный способ приготовления при вас мороженого с помощью жидкого азота в этом небольшом кафе.мороженое на вкус абсолютно посредственное

Delicious ice cream, double chocolate is rich and creamy, nice service. Cool to see it made on front of you with the liquid nitrogen vapor going all over the counter. A bit on the expensive side, 4.75 I think for the small, but theres a lot in the small and its totally worth it

Overpriced. Also, to be completely honest the texture of this ice cream will put you off. The taste is okay, but seriously if youre going to try this place, get a small. Its not good. The employee that was working there seemed nice, just a bad product

The Ice Cream is crazy creamy!! I went for the first time on Thursday and by Sunday I was back again. Really is worth the premium price for the experience alone. I am sorry coldstone, this ice cream fiend has moved on to Creams & Dreams.

Liquid nitrogen ice cream! Definitely a different consistency, but its not a bad thing. Very decadent and "dream-like." Its especially a fun show when they make the ice cream after you order. Lots of delicious flavors to choose from.

Friendly staff and a good selection of flavours. Be sure to ask about a sample if youre uncertain as to what youd like– they make the icecream to order but should have a number of flavours available to try.

The avocado ice cream is a MUST try - fresh avocados!! The gentlemen working behind the counter are congenial and clean. Its fun to watch them create your ice cream as you wait!! A++

I tried the cookies and cream. It was great! It was fun to watch the ice cream being made and even more fun to eat! Ill try the avocado on my next visit...

bad service the guy who works doesnt respect us because we were confused about the menu. I dont recommend this place for any one.

Great liquid nitrogen ice cream with high quality fresh ingredients. The wait can be a little long though but its worth it!

Who says science isnt fun? Nitrogen ice cream! The orange honey is refreshing and tastes like a toned down creamsicle.

The ice cream was great, and the process was fun to watch. $8.45 for 2 scoops is "OK".
