This place is a fun novelty, and not much more. To give credit where its due, the ice cream has a very good texture, and the flavors are tasty. I certainly do not regret giving their product a shot. The price, however, guarantees that I wont be making a return trip. Even a single serving costs in excess of $5, and all that buys you is a small cup of simple ice cream. If you want to make your treat a little more interesting, be prepared to pay for it. Every single topping you add costs $1. $1 for a small handful of marshmallows or tiny drizzle of syrup is ridiculous. This is a good product, but its just not worth the price.

First time visiting & probably wont go back. Server acted like we were wasting her time even though there wasnt anyone behind us. At first we stood off to the side in case others came in that knew what they wanted & the cashier called us over to "explain" the smaller menu at the register & then kept tapping her fingers as we were deciding & pointing out the top picks. Once we got our order they didnt have bags or containers for us to take it to go since the shop is super tiny & we didnt want to eat in. For as much as this stuff costs it tastes so blah. We went more to see the liquid nitrogen part & just wasnt impressed overall.

The good: My sons got birthday cake and cinnamon toast crunch and they were delicious. Cool experience. Sizes were very generous, in my opinion. The bad: I got cheesecake and it wasnt very flavorful. Pricey and toppings are a dollar each. I got us all brownie bowls and the brownies were hard as rocks and stale. The store was dirty, rug filthy, trash cans overflowing, floor needed swept, napkin dispensers were empty. We went at 3pm on a Monday so not exactly rush hour, not sure why there was so much disarray.

I had a Premium with Cookies and Cream and a brownie cup. The brownie was great, but the ice cream tasted like water with cookies and cream in it. I took it back up to the register and they just looked at me and didnt say anything. I just said never mind and walked away. If it hadnt been for the brownie I would have really been disappointed. My friend also had a Premium with Birthday Cake and he said his was tasteless as well. I might try it again, but will wait a few weeks to see how the reviews go on here.

Ice cream is decent but I paid $10 for a 2 scoop cup. They charge $1 for each topping which costs them pennies. They are going to make a fortune off over charging people...so I guess good for them. I wouldnt bother. The cost would need to be reduced at least 30% to justify the product. If you are willing to get ripped off for the experience of trying nitrogen ice cream then this is your place. If you prefer to get your moneys worth on products I suggest you look elsewhere.

Its basically overpriced ice cream. There is a wow factor that my kids love though. They make each individual order from scratch behind glass while you watch. You pick out all your ingredients yourself. Then after they mix it all up they pour some liquid nitrogen into the mixer creating a huge cloud of white smoke. The kids "oooh, and ahhhh" while I dish out $9 a cup for it. The taste is great, but the ice cream seems a little more dense.

Great food but you will wait 30 min for your ice cream as the owner distracts the rest of the team from doing their jobs. The price point is also a little high for what you are getting, its no better than coldstone or similar companies but you are paying 2-3 dollars more for an equivalent product. If they could bring their wait times down it might be worth a second visit but for now i dont feel they have earned a repeat visit.

This ice cream is unlike anything Ive ever had. I think about the cookie butter flavor all. The. Time. Service always super friendly, a very young staff, one girl remembered my name so I had to take a couple months of a break because Id obviously been there too much. A bit of a wait though since it takes a while to make customized ice cream, dont show up in a hurry.

My husband and I shared the small because of the expensive price. there were plenty of options and even a coconut milk option for dairy free people. we had strawberry with fresh strawberries and whipped cream and it was nearly $8. DELICIOUS! and the liquid nitrogen cloud flows out over the counter and is cool too watch. just will only be for special occasions

I checked my daughter out of school early to bring her here... just because. She loves it. I think her favorite part of Creamistry is the sheer number of ice cream combinations that you can create. Its crazy. She also enjoys the process they use to create your ice cream. Its pretty neat. It can get expensive but it was definitely worth it.

The ice cream was pretty good, the wait is a little slow because they only have 1 freezer. My main complaint however is actually with the spoons. The spoon felt awkwardly large, not long, but large. The head of the spoon felt far to big for the small bowls the ice cream comes in. Also the cheap plastic makes it hard to get a spoonful

I love the liquid nitrogen they use to freeze the ice-cream and the ice-cream is good. They are geared more towards the appearance of the liquid nitrogen and design of ice-cream, not the taste as much. I still loved my ice-cream and would recommend it (especially for dates and a family visit)

This place is always busy! Not only because of the cool way they make ice cream, but because it is delicious. I have only found a few things I didnt like, but that was because they had coconut in them. Everything else has been delicious. It is sometimes difficult to find seating.

Great ice cream but the service was not good. The servers were more interested in their phones than helping us. Didnt communicate well and acted like we were interrupting their day. The tables were all dirty as well. Probably wont come back anytime soon.

I personally dont like the idea of cereal in ice cream. I still dont. The ice cream is freshly frozen with nitrogen. The premium ice cream is the best. I really wanted to be able to make real cinnamon ice cream and not with cinnamon toast crunch.

This place is really great. Its more of a one time thing though , for me Atleast. Spending almost $20 for two small cups of ice cream with just drip of syrup is not worth it at all. If their prices were more reasonable Id be a repeating customer

Super great atmosphere, ice cream was good and loved the nitrogen fog cloud you get to stand in. Definitely recommend trying it out. Its always busy so be ready to wait. They seem to always be rushing you so the staff is not very friendly.

Ice cream is extremely smooth and flavorful albeit a bit pricey. The layout of the interior leaves some to be desired as it is long and narrow which makes getting by the line of people waiting to order difficult and awkward.
