Came here because the exterior caught my attention. It was a hot day and just wanted to cool off before driving back to our hotel. Glad we stopped by because the inside was ADORABLE. I'm all for cute aesthetics. It has a bright diner/ old school ice cream parlor vibe and every corner of this place is Instagrammable. The menu is pretty straightforward with many different variations of cookies and ice cream. They have ice cream, cookies (obviously), ice cream cakes, cookie towers, sundaes, Soft serve, blizzards, and milkshakes. The ladies behind the counter were very nice. They took our order and everything went quickly and smoothly. Here's what we ordered: - soft serve twist in a regular cup with toffee topping - sea salt truffle with rainbow sprinkles So good! I'd like to try more from their menu the next time I'm in town. read more

They need air conditioning. It was just as warm outside as it was inside! The selection was pretty good and the patio seating in the back was really cute. Pricing wasn't too bad but the dishes probably could have been a little bit bigger lol. This was our first time here so chances are we will be back to try some other flavors! read more

This would be my last choice of places to go for an ice cream treat. The sundaes were below average for the price. Plastic spoons and plastic bowls were true only option. The tables were dirty and the above was very low energy. I do miss the soda bar and pastry shoppe, but we can never go back. read more

Cookies & Cream - Cutesy restroom sign - Desserts Near Me - Buffalo, New York

After grabbing chips/queso and tacos from TCB's, my friend, who flew in from Seattle to stay with me for a week, and I were looking for a spot to grab a cool dessert. Our waitress at TCB's told us that Cookies & Cream had a shop right on Elmwood, a short 10-minute walk from there, I remembered seeing Cookies & Cream on Yelp a while back and was intrigued by their giant cookie sandwich... So of course we made the short walk over and indulged ourselves! We arrived around 7:30pm on a Tuesday and were impressed with the neon color and somehow retro but modern décor and vibes. There were a few tables setup outside that were fenced off from the sidewalk and nearly all of them were filled. There were also a few tables inside. Walking in, there was a line, which told that my friend and I weren't the only ones wanting to end the night with a sweet treat. It didn't take long for us to reach the counter and place our orders. The young gentleman who took our order was very conscientious and accommodating. My friend and I waited less than five minutes or so and our giant cookie sandwiches were packaged up, with spoons thank goodness, and we were on our way back home. For my giant cookie sandwich, the two cookies I ordered were Red Velvet and M&M and for the ice cream, I went with their hard ice cream flavor, Cake Batter, which is nearly identical to Perry's Piece of Cake ice cream and is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE ice cream!! I also had it rolled in sprinkles because why not? I'm soo happy I went with those cookies - the Red Velvet had hunks of white chocolate/cream cheese and the M&M cookie was jam-packed with M&M's. Those cookies complimented the Cake Batter ice cream extremely well, which the ice cream was nothing short of phenomenal. The sprinkles added nice visual flair to it all. The caveat to our dessert was that my buddy wanted to wait until we got back home to eat our sandwiches, so by the time we got home, I had to stick them in the freezer to harden up the ice cream a bit. Doing this worked in hardening the ice cream, but since these cookies were served warm and soft, they hardened up too. Everything still tasted amazing, but the cookies definitely were a bit harder to eat, which made the ice cream in the center fall out a bit. But, again, thank goodness for the packed in spoon. Now, when they say giant cookie sandwich, I can safely say they are GIANT! I ate the entire sandwich but wow, I was surprisingly full afterward. The total for each sandwich came to a little over $10, but they were definitely worth the price as they were high in quality and generous in portions. I'm really glad to finally have checked Cookies & Cream out and indulged in their giant cookie sandwich! The shop on Elmwood is pretty cool, their staff was friendly, and they served us a quality dessert for a price that leans toward the high side, but does seem reasonable given the quality and portion size. I can't wait to come back and grab another giant cookie sandwich! read more

went on a whim with a friend to check out this place and I was not disappointed. They have quite a few types of cookies with a couple of interesting options and a fun variety of ice cream flavors to mix those cookies with. I have a s'more's cookie with moose tracks ice cream, but they had lots of "blizzard "-type dessert as well along with sundaes. The staff were very friendly and informative and the interior had nice theme going on. Not quite sure how to classify it. Maybe 1970s-ish ice cream parlor? Definitely worth checking out. And enjoy the candy in the dishes scattered around the business. read more

Great spot! The ice cream and cookies are to die for! Now adding them together - you get a glimpse of what heaven is like! We ordered ice cream, cookies, ice cream and cookies and ice cream and brownies. Not one bite was bad! We all enjoyed the service and staff. The place is neat with in door and out door dining. The price wasn't too unaffordable and the line was outside due to the high quality of product. We will be back as this place is a gem! read more

As soon as I walked in I was in such awe! The decor here is so cute. I would say this is a nice date/hangout spot as well. The cookies here are so big and delicious. We had the sugar, macadamia nut and oatmeal raisin cookie. I had the cookie dough blizzard which was okay. It was soft serve ice cream layered with the cookie dough and I thought it was going it be mixed in. The components were tasty though. They also have an outdoor area in the front and the patio area , both are nice. read more

Stopped by for some dessert with my girlfriends. The price was not bad at all. I ordered the toasted or roasted (cant remember) coconut ice cream. Im a huge coconut lover. This is by far some of the most delicious and flavorful coconut flavored ice cream I've ever had. I don't live anywhere near this ice cream shop, but I will definitely make it my mission to make my way back here for some more of that coconut ice cream. Love the ice cream theme throughout the shop. FYI Street and parking lot parking available. read more

This was my first time at the new location on Elmwood. Just as great as the one in South Buffalo. I love how customizable everything is, like with substitutions and all of the toppings. They also let you try the ice cream flavors. The inside of the restaurant was lovely, and I really like the second floor which made it a lot more spacious. I visited on a Saturday evening around 8 PM, and it was a little busy but the service was quick and friendly so there were no issues. Great addition to the Elmwood Village and I highly recommend for anyone with a craving for sweet desserts. read more

This place is soooo good. Lots of cookies and ice creams, and ice cream filled cookies lol. Hard ice cream, soft serve, sundaes, everything! If you get the ice cream cookie, it's literally the size of your head. You could split it with 3 people. It's insane! But so good. They have the most amazing ice cream cakes that I have ever seen, expensive but completely worth the price. This inside of this place is setup like an old diner, it's super cute with lots of seating. read more

I've never been to the OG location, but the Elmwood branch is close to our new digs so we decided to take a walk for a nice Sunday treat! The shop is decorated adorably. Neon lights and fun colors make it so nostalgic and fun. And it smelled divine, of course, because of the amazing-looking cookies they had out on display! Their menu is pretty big and they carry both soft and hard ice cream. I opted for a classic vanilla soft serve with rainbow sprinkles. I got the kids size, but it was pretty big, so if you're unsure, I'd recommend getting a kids! My boyfriend got a hot fudge sundae and he liked it a lot. The service was not great, I'm not going to lie. But many moons ago, I, too, worked in an ice cream shop, so I can empathize with the employees' pain. It wouldn't deter me from coming back. I would love to walk over to try something else. Maybe one of their '77s? But DEFINITELY an oatmeal raisin cookie next time. read more

I mean.. this place is ADORABLE! Ice cream choices aren't out of this world but the ambiance is so cute that it really doesn't matter.

Ice cream was lackluster. Ambient was cute. Checked off my bucket list, but will not return.

The ice cream has been delicious the couple times that I've been here. Most recently I got one of the sundaes that had a huge macadamia nut cookies, strawberry cheesecake ice cream with peanuts, hot fudge and whipped cream. The cookie was large and they give you a very good amount of sundae for the price. They also have a nice little patio you can sit out in the back. Overall great! read more

Cookies & Cream - Strawberry cheesecake sundae with macadamia nut cookie - Desserts Near Me - Buffalo, New York

Delicious ice cream and cookies! Would definitely recommend! service was great and the look was very retro and cute!

The interior is super cool, a lot of work went into the place and seems great. Even an outdoor patio which was surprising for a dessert place. Unfortunately, the cookies weren't very good, they did not seem like real baker cookies. Honestly kind of dry, dense, and brittle like cookies you'd see at Vons or Safeway. The ice cream flavors were relatively good, maybe like 3.5 stars. The sundaes weren't very creative, and the one we got was just generic candy and whip cream on it all thrown on ice cream. read more

I'd like to give 0 stars if I could. I walked in a half hour before closing and the woman refused to serve me saying they were randomly closing early. I then watched a couple walk in moments after me yet she decided to serve them. The woman was incredibly rude and dismissive. Some of the worst customer service I've ever experienced . I really can't get over how arrogant and rude this lady was. read more

Super cute place! Huge cookies and ice cream is yummy, with a great variety. I believe the brand of ice cream is Garrett's. Expensive, but everything is these days! They have amazing ice cream cakes and I can't wait to get one. read more

Hands down best ice cream shop in the city, every time is a great experience and the ice cream is always good.

Came in 8:30 pm on a Sunday night. It was busy and steady flow of customers. We bought a red velvet, cinnamon raisin, s'more, and Reese's cookies to go. Our sons had a cup of ice cream. One tried the cotton candy and the other had cookie dough ice cream. The store rain out of the three chocolate chip cookies and m&ms cookies and whip cream. I guess you have to come early to get what you want. The ice cream cakes and towers look amazing! Nice place to go for dessert after dinner read more

Oh we loved this place! For any local buffaloian coming here of course we are always always always going to be sad so sad that the old restaurant the Soda Bar that used to be here, disappeared long long ago, HOWEVER! It brings me good cheer to see a new dessert place pop up in this location finally as there's been many businesses that have come and gone in this location. And this is one of a couple of their locations so we know the foundation is good so I hope this business lasts forever here! Nothing to complain about, they had these phenomenal ridiculously delicious looking cakes in the fridges that I did not try but next birthday I WILL remember this as an option for cake! Your typical ice cream Sundaes etc. we're all there and now let's talk about those damn amazing cookies!!!!! If you're not in the mood for ice cream just go get a cookie goddamnit!!! They are AWESOME! Best white chocolate macadamia nut cookie I ever had and I was also in love with their Caramel cookie! Other pluses-customer service was friendly and they have outdoor seating at this lovely tElmwood strip location for that wonderful summer day we are all waiting for! Some many great food restaurants nearby too so this is a great location to get something sweet at after your supper! read more

Fantastic ice cream and cookies! Would go there every time I want some goodies. Their big cookies are to die for!

Ordered a medium with sprinkles and got a small with 10 sprinkles. Teenagers working looked really unhappy

My bf went to get me something from the Elmwood location. Service was brutal on a Sunday night when not that busy and then they didn't have this, didn't have that etc etc. Will not be coming back to the elmwood location, and we live close. Definitely now on the "skip" list. Sorry 3 girls behind the counter. Ouch. read more

The place has a good 50s or 60s ice cream parlor feel when you walk, which is nice to see and wish more place would use the color palette for decor. The ice cream is good and soft even for hard ice cream, however I have mixed feelings about their cookies. Do not get me wrong they are worth it and good but the Reese's cookies they do seem to be very soft or hard whenever I come. They might need to tweak the recipe. On the other hand the name of the business is well fitting as it is the only things they offer. Never mind the fact that anything else they make are made of one or two. If you are in Elmwood village, stop in. Your sweet tooth will thank you for stopping here. read more

i went to this place for the first time not going back. the workers looked like they were about to hang themselves. they were just slapping shit together and moving in slow motions. the ice cream was nothing special and they make chocolate milk shakes with vanilla ice cream and maybe one half pump of chocolate sauce so basically it's a vanilla shake. i've never seen a store run so poorly. there were 3 works on staff doing the job of one person. terrible. read more
