I was unfortunately not a fan of this at all. The ice cream pretty much tastes like supermarket ice cream that you could get for so much cheaper. It was weirdly sweet, kind of plastic-y but probably due to artificial flavoring. Granted, you're supposed to eat it with two warm cookies, whereas I just got a cup. Even then, however, the ice cream was already too sweet for me. Like how many different flavors they have though. read more

When I tell you this ice cream and cookie were delicious. My niece and I devoured the bowl. I hate that I wasn't able to go back the next day for seconds. This is a must visit on a warm summer day. Hell... it's a great place to visit on any day. read more

The last time I went to cream was when they were offering a massive discount on Snackpass and there was an issue with the ordering system resulting in the line being backed up around the block. This led to one of the staff coming outside to tell everyone they had to wait in line to place their orders again to receive their ice cream. Upon waiting for quite some time, the ice cream sandwiches that my friends and I ended up getting was merely acceptable. The ice cream was the better part of the sandwich while the cookie part of the sandwiches everyone felt indifferent about. Maybe a different combination of ice cream/cookies would have made a difference but we felt that waiting for such a long time only to receive a day-old cookie with a scoop of ice cream in between was not really worth it. On top of that, the normal price of the desserts there simply does not justify the quality of the sandwiches. I guess it does make for an aesthetic Instagram post or story if that is what you are going for, but it is not something I would go out of my way for if there was no discount. read more

CREAM - Chocolate ice cream Pistachio Chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream in chocolate waffle cone - Desserts Near Me - Berkeley, California

Love coming into this place, being the only customer and staff completely ignores me and won't even look up to take my order let alone say hello, how can I help you. Ended up leaving after about 5 minutes of being ignored. read more

There's always a long line outside of this place and now I know why. The ice cream is really rich and creamy with a full bodied flavor. Sandwich the ice cream between two cookies or brownies or whatever you want and you get a really satisfying treat. I really like the pistachio, green tea, and peach Bellini flavors. The pistachio isn't as pistachio as many other places, it's pretty subtle, but it's still really good. The green tea is a lighter color than many other places so I thought the flavor would be light too but it's not. It has a nice earthiness and you get a really wonderful herbal and matcha taste. My favorite is the peach Bellini. When you first taste it, you get a light taste of champagne, but as you keep eating it, it turns into a strong wonderful peach flavor. Also, this peach flavor doesn't taste like the artificial peach flavor in candies, it tastes like real peaches. read more

Let me start off by saying how terrible parking is around this area. Actually, parking is terrible in NorCal period. So, good luck finding parking. It might be better just to pay for parking in the structures nearby... RULE #1 - DO NOT LEAVE ANY VALUABLES IN YOUR CAR. JUST TAKE IT WITH YOU! This ice cream sandwich joint is comparable to Diddy Reese in Westwood by UCLA. You get to choose your fresh cookie and creamy ice cream for a delicious ice cream sammich. They also have toppings you can add on for an additional price. I think if it's over a certain amount of $, you can use your check-in for a free topping. Pro: About a block away from Cal Con: Area seems sketchy at night and always reeks of weed. You might even get high standing in line. Overall: Will be back to try other flavors read more

DO NOT order from this location! Waste of time! I placed custom large order by phone only because their website wasn't showing all flavors that were really available. After spendimg 30 minutes on the phone, I get a call 3 days later by the location manager asking to come pay for the order in person. I went in person, and their credit card machine was not working. They blamed my credit cards as the issue when their machine was not working. So i left without paying and without my order placed. WASTE OF MY PRECIOUS TIME AND ENERGY!!! read more

WHEN: 01-05-22 Ice cream in January? In a chilly winter night? Am I insane? Well yes I am insane, but not when it comes to eating ice cream in the cold! Ice cream is good any time during the day! Including breakfast! (Fight me nutritionists) I ordered pumpkin pie ice cream sandwiched in between two super sweet sweet, yet tasty CREAMfetti cookies. Now I like pumpkin pie. Occasionally I would buy a pie, slice it up, then proceed to eat half the pie all by myself. However, I never consumed pumpkin pie flavored ice cream. I never even knew it was a thing! So of course I needed to try it! The first lick of pumpkin pie ice cream was strong. It definitely tasted like I was eating pumpkin pie. After tasting it some more, my taste buds got acclimated to the flavor and I started enjoying it. Ice cream really was CREAMy. However, the combination of pumpkin pie ice cream and CREAMfetti cookies was somewhat odd. I felt like both don't mesh well together. Both the ice cream and cookies were super sweet. I felt like I was eating mouthfuls of sugar. But it's ice cream, what else can one expect? Non-sweet ice cream? No thanks. read more

I really like Cream so one extra star. I ordered a custom ice-cream cake ahead of time for my child's birthday. When we went there at the pre-arranged pickup time, we were told there was no cake because the person who was supposed to make it didn't show up at work. The person working at the counter told us to come back again in 2 -3 hours because they were going to make it instantly. They asked us to prepay when I ordered the cake, so if I hadn't prepaid already I would have gone somewhere else. We drove back to pick this up 3 hours later and when we cut the cake at home, we found the ice-cream wasn't frozen and it was a runny mess. We were very upset because my child had been looking forward to his birthday, especially during this pandemic, and has asked for this cake specifically. Needless to say, he was quite upset. I wanted to settle this privately so I emailed Cream. A couple of days later I missed their call but received a voicemail saying Cream will call me back. I gave them a few days before calling the number that left me a voicemail. I left them a voicemail but never heard back. A few days after that, I emailed Cream again but it's been a week already and I still haven't heard back. I understand it's hard during the pandemic but I was hoping for a better level of service. This is very disappointing as we've been loyal fans of Cream for years and I have bought quite a few premade cakes from them. read more

If your employees aren't going to honor a voucher that was provided by the company then maybe you should stop sending them to customers. I showed the worker a certificate to redeem and it listed the Berkeley location as one of the participating locations and she had the gall to tell me their shop "doesn't do birthday vouchers anymore" despite recently receiving the coupon. Pathetic. read more

Cookies Rule Everything Around Me! At all times, but most of all at the corner of Channing and Telegraph. I lived a block away for 6 years, and it was nice to be able to say, "The line is long I'll look outside and come back when it is shorter". Sometimes the line is the scene on weekend nights though. Something for every taste. That is the real beauty of C.R.E.A.M. And Berkeley. read more

Super creamy delicious ice cream, fresh-baked cookies + other tasty carb-based morsels (which I recommend one does not bother trying to abstain from), friendly staff... what's not to like? Well- when the line gets *super* long @ night during our hotter late summer/early fall months, ie. when the students return, THAT kind of sucks... But other than that, it's A++! Don't miss the pre-packed pints in the fridge if you are just there for ice cream to bring home. Lastly, the confetti sugar/butter cookies are the best IMHO, but in truth they're *all* good and you can't go wrong. read more

Their ice cream and cookies are basic and present no "wow factor". It's a convenient novelty dessert place that's open late. The low rating is for the overall experience. We placed an online order on their website, which uses an ordering app called mixbowl. When I walked up to the counter and let them know I had a pickup order under my name, they couldn't find it. I let them know I ordered directly from their website and they said "oh we don't receive orders from there". Lol what? It's your own website. So the website continues to take orders with the store knowing they won't be able to even see them? They ended up making it on the spot using the order from my email confirmation. They didn't have mint chip but was able to sub in peppermint bark. This was fine, but again, it just shows how ridiculous it is to allow orders to continue to go through the website knowing they won't be notified of any of them. She handed me the order but the cookies weren't warmed as I thought they would be (and she didn't ask me). I asked her if the cookies come warmed up and she said she can make them warm. She asked me for the ice cream sandwich back that she first handed me. I asked if I could just have it plus two more warmed up cookies but she didn't hear me. I thought that would be a fair transaction given the inconvenience of the whole online ordering. I asked her what she was gonna do with it and she said "oh we're just gonna throw it away" and that's exactly what she did. I left with a new ice cream sandwich but the cookies were no more warmer than the first ones. I figured that was about right since she only kept it in the oven for 2 seconds. Disappointing and frustrating can't even begin to describe the whole ordeal. So yeah - the takeaway from this? Order through grub hub. read more

Reigning from LA, the argument always is ---- Diddy Riese or CREAM? Well, it's all in the name - Cookies Rule Everything Around Me. This place was a weekly (sometimes bi-weekly) indulgence as a student at Cal. No matter whether there was no line (only right when it opens usually) or whether the line was 30 feet out the door and around the corner, this place is ALWAYS worth it. I always have to go with the classic chocolate chip cookie with vanilla ice cream, but CREAM has really expanded their menu to be quite impressive and would definitely satisfy even the most picky of dessert eaters! Reasonably priced, though the price has increased over the years, but not so much that all the university students make this a staple in their diets! read more

I love, , love, , love , Cream! Unfortunately I have been diagnosed lactose intolerant so I can't eat the ice cream. Only if you provided a lactose free ice cream you can get another demographic, people like me. Bryers has a lactose free ice cream; because there is no lactose it's soft, so sandwich's may not be an option, but a cup with the cookies will suffice. Advertising you have lactose free ice cream...$$$ You'll thank me later!!! Peace and Blessings read more

I went into cream with no expectation whatsoever and walked out impressed. Cream has a impeccable selection of vegan and gluten free options, and the best vegan cookies I've ever had. The oatmeal and snickerdoodle vegan cookies are heavenly. They're moist, chewy, and full of flavor. I wish I had gotten more since the line is long (now I know why). Cream is one of my top dessert places, definitely go try it! read more

CREAM - Desserts Near Me - Berkeley, California

Rating: 3.5 stars I was craving ice cream, and I have to say, I'm glad I stopped by! The store is pretty small without a lot of seating, but it is well-kept, and the employees were friendly from the moment we walked in the door. I ordered a cookie sandwich with chocolate chip cookies and French vanilla ice cream. The cookies were warm and the chocolate chips were just the right amount of melted, which was perfect. However, I wasn't a huge fan of the ice cream itself -- I didn't get much vanilla, and there was something in the flavor that seemed a little off to me. Sandwiched in between two cookies it tasted alright, but definitely felt like something I could put together at home. I have to say though that the pricing is extremely fair! Definitely on the lower end of the spectrum of ice cream shop prices. I think $3.99 for a cookie ice cream sandwich or $2.99 for a scoop of ice cream is absolutely a great deal. They have both vegan ice cream and cookie options as well, which I wish I had tried. Maybe next time! read more

I'll be back here for a late night treat again soon... read more

CREAM - Double Chocolate Chip Cookies Sandwich - Desserts Near Me - Berkeley, California

Despite the price increase (which are understandable if those are going directly to paying workers a fair living wage), I still think CREAM is a steal compared to other ice cream shops. For me, I justify it by thinking about it this way: $3.99 for a cookie sandwich is around the same price you'd pay at an artisnal ice cream shop AND those scoops wouldn't be as generous as the ones they give you here. The cookies themselves were good, but they weren't very warm or soft, which is what I was hoping for since they look like they came straight out of the oven. The crunchy cookies just made eating an ice cream sandwich a messier process. But I'd say it's a good deal nonetheless. read more

Freshly baked cookies and delish ice cream to make some ice cream sandwiches, so what's not to like? The chocolate chip cookies were crunchy chewy just how I like them. I ended up pairing my cookies with mint chip ice cream even though I planned on getting green tea. I guess prices went up as I think my cookie sandwich was about $4-5 total. I forget but it was good. I went on a Sunday afternoon right when they opened so there was no line which was great. You can pair your ice cream with cookies, brownies, cones or even do'sants or waffle taco shells. I prefer a couple of warm freshly baked chocolate chip cookies myself but would be open to try the others. There is street parking out front and a parking structure around the corner that has 1-hr free parking. read more

my experience: CREAM has become a much more popular and staple place in the bay area as the years go by. it's a great concept and for something that is so simple yet delicious but also as time goes by it does get more expensive and the quality does go down. sad to say, but it's true. i don't hate on this place as i still come here when i am craving an ice cream sandwich but definitely not as much as i used to. food/price: i remember it used to be around $2 but now it is $4 and the quality is not as great as it used to be. it used to be warm cookies but recently the cookies i have had were not that great and the line was out the door because they did not have that many people working. they do have a lot of alternatives for people who have dietary restrictions. they have great flavors as well and many options for cookies and ice creams. the price of the mini sandwiches are ridiculously priced. just a 3 star from me if you want to treat yourself once in a while. notes: there's always a line because it is near a college campus and a popular spot for ice cream. read more

Cream is one of the can't miss places to go for a snack/ dessert in Berkeley. It's a good value for your money and both the cookies and the ice cream taste great. I came here for the first time even before I went to college in Berkeley (during orientation), and ever since then, Cream has been a highlight whenever I am back in Berkeley. The cookies are a good size, but they place a massive scoop of ice cream in between them, so you'll be fighting a battle as to whether you'll have a semi-melty ice cream mess in your hands or have brain freeze from eating too fast, but there's worse problems to have :) . The one main downside of Cream is that if you arrive during the peak times, you'll probably hit a big line out the door as people love their ice cream sandwiches here. My recommendation is to hit the restaurant when there's not a line, both so you don't have to wait, and so you have some time to look through the selection of cookies and ice cream without pressure to order from the people behind you. read more

Great ice cream, decent prices, and great location. Will be back if I crave a particular combination! Ordered their iconic ice cream cookie sandwich (not pictured). I chose to have "choc chip cookie dough" ice cream between two chocolate chip cookies (I know, not creative).d The size of the sandwich is quite large, and definitely could replace a meal. Split between, let's say 2 people, it is perfect. read more

Finally got to try CREAM this weekend! My friend has been raving about this place for so long. Bf is pretty simple so we chose a good 'ol fashion chocolate chip cooke with mocha almond fudge ice cream. I can't believe that the ice cream sandwiches are only ($2)! I was fearing I'd see a big line (even though it's still winter break for Cal), but to my surprise there was no line at all! The girl and guy behind the counter were super friendly. The girl let me sample the salted caramel (didn't like it, like Bi-Rite's) and she asked if I wanted to cut the sandwich in half, which I had her do since it makes sharing easier. The only other "non-grocery store" ice cream sandwich I had was from Kicks in SJ, which I so loved when I went to their location to buy one. Not only was that a weird set up but the ice cream sandwich was pretty hard so it needed to be left out to get a little closer to room temperature. There's is $4, so twice the price of CREAM's. Anyways, CREAM's ice cream sammie was nice because they warm up the cookie then slap on the ice cream. The size is decent, not huge, but not small at all. The coffee ice cream was tasty and not too strong & chocolate chip cookies always hit the spot! I haven't tried Diddy Riese in LA yet, but this place is my favorite ice cream sammie place so far! We got lucky finding a spot a block up, but I know how much of a pain parking near Telegraph can be; but, next time for sure when I'm in Berk I'll be hitting up CREAM for another ice cream sandwich combo! read more

CREAM - Matcha Green Tea Ice Cream in between Snickerdoodle Cookies - Desserts Near Me - Berkeley, California

Solid ice cream sandwiches but honestly the customer service could be improved. Food: A- The ice cream sandwiches were very good. I had a regular waffle with no toppingz and cookies and cream ice cream. The waffle was warm and soft, with a little crunch that mixed very well with the ice cream softness and coldness. The dosant (donut + croissant) was solid as well! Price: B For specialty ice cream, these prices are comparable and what you would expect. However, word of caution is that each topping is $1 extra so if you want extra toppings, be ready for the price! Staff: C As soon as we walked in ands started asking questions, the answers we got back were nonchalant, lackadaisical and unmotivated. The main thing that got me was they ran out of batter for the waffle after I had paid, so I got less than the full amount for the waffle and still paid full charge for the ice cream. Parking: D This is a corner place right on Telegraph Avenue, so no matter how you look at it you're going to have to walk a little to get here and probably paid, meter parking. Overall: C The place has solid ice cream, but probably won't come back. read more

O-M-G. Anyone for an ice cream sandwich??!! Stand in line please!! My cousin had suggested this place for dessert after lunching at Cheeseboard pizza. I said sure, I'll look it up on Yelp. Just looking at the pictures made my mouth water..... Although you can purchase ice cream and cookies by itself, come on now.......WHY NOT just get a ice cream sandwich for the affordable price of just $2. They have a variety of cookies to choose from which include chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin, and butter sugar. During my visit there were 16 flavors of ice cream including strawberry cheesecake, green tea, and mint chocolate chip. I'm a huge fan of cheesecake, so I ordered the strawberry cheesecake with 2 chocolate chip cookies. Just simply delicious! TIPS: 1) They do offer sampling of the ice cream fyi. 2) You can mix and match the cookies for your sandwich, you don't have to order two of the same cookies. Thanks to my cousin for inquiring about this! 3) CA$H Only!! 4) Vegan cookies available 5) Cookies can be purchased by themselves....no ice cream added. 6) They can cut your sandwich in half......just kindly ask. Bottom Line: Save room for dessert and treat yourself to an ice cream sandwich! read more

This place hits the spot for dessert. Where can you find ice cream smack-dab in the middle of freshly baked cookies for cheap?! We ordered mint chocolate chip ice cream with warm chocolate chip cookies. We also ordered additional cookies to save for later - double chocolate chip, cappuchino, peanut butter. (Use your Yelp check-in!) I have to say - the traditional chocolate chip cookie is the best of them all. There is usually a line and the employees work the line fast, so know what you want as they will get inpatient. There are some interesting characters in the area so be prepared for all the people watching and the smell of pot walking the streets. 2 dollahs will make me holla!!! read more

Telegraph is a cool street to kick it in Berkeley, lots of shops, restaurants, bars. A few weeks ago, I went to Pappy's to watch various things, the NBA finals, copa america. I walked by CREAM and always without a doubt there was a line forming out the door... I finally got around to trying it, after I had a koja burger.. ( Koja is literally next door ) and there was no line around 4PM... I walked in, the concept is simple... customize-able ice cream sandwiches. Freshly baked GIANT cookies of various flavors and tons of ice cream flavors. I went with a chocolate chip cookie and chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream... needless to say... i was in awe of the size of one order... it is a bargain... since it only comes out to $2.99 ! read more

We have to stop here everytime we're in Berkeley! Yesterday was a 40-minute ordeal maybe because it was Cal Day but we just had to join the rest of the flock and endure the wait. Definitely worth it once we got our order. How could you not like 2 freshly-baked cookies (still warm from the oven) sandwiching a generous scoop of homemade ice cream? The difference in the temperature between the cookies and the ice cream even adds to the thrill of gobbling this creation. A myriad of combinations abound so be creative! read more
