Went here last night for my first time EVER ! Omg so yummy! Got there around 11:30, and they had a line, of course.. But no biggie! Because it moved pretty fast ! All the workers were friendly & had smiles on their faces which made my first time experience even better :) Minus one star for no green tea Ice cream and the place being too small for a seating area. Overall, I loved it. Just a bunch of overall choco chip cookie cream goodness. read more

CREAM - Coffee ice cream sandwich - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - San Jose, California

Worst milkshake we have ever had! Was supposed to be cookie dough with chocolate chip cookies and literally had none of the flavor. Tasted like straight milk. The hot fudge sundae tasted like half a bottle of hersheys syrup was poured on top. They were out of most basic ice cream flavors and the staff was not friendly. read more

People call me a hater of all things good. I personally just don't think a lot of things are hyped up to all it's suppose to be. 3rd time is the charm right? Nope. Tried it again last night at this new location next to temple and 55 South and wasn't impressed. People like the IDEA of two great things put together as if it were to create one better thing but it doesn't always work like that. I'd stick to Baskin Robins or Ms. Fields cookies, thanks. read more

I must have been living in a cave because I have never heard of CREAM until this location opened up in downtown. I can honestly say that the last ice cream sandwich I've had was an "it's it" back when I was 13 years old. CREAM has a fun and simple concept that works. For the first timers, standing in line actually works in your favor as you get ample time to decide how you are going to approach your cookie and ice cream masterpiece. Having the option to mix and match different cookie flavors coupled with the fact that you want to find the right ice cream really exercises your mind! After deliberating, I decided to order the cookies and cream ice cream, sandwiched between a chocolate chip and a oatmeal raisin cookie. I must say, the cookies were the highlight of my sandwich - they were warm, chewy and took the lead of most of the flavor in each bite. The ice cream really lacked any Oreo flavor and ended up tasting like plain vanilla behind the taste of the cookies. Overall, the sandwich was extremely satisfying. I recommend getting the oatmeal raisin cookie if you are going to get any of the vanilla based ice cream flavors - the sweetness and flavor of the oatmeal with a hint of cinnamon changes the dynamic of the sandwich and really makes each bite head-shaking delicious. Priced at $2.50 (cash purchase), this will fulfill your sweet craving and will leave you feeling like you've had enough sugar for the month (in my case, a YEAR). Thumbs up for CREAM! read more

I went here on a whim after one of my friends tweeted that they were open. I thought they'd be opening the next day. But yeah, I was sort of drunk since I was chillin' at Temple, which is across the street. I don't know much about the place, other than it gets a lot of hype on social media from my friends. The place I really wanna try is MILK. But anyway, it's not half bad. Ice cream sandwiches are $2.50, the staff is really chill, and they're all fairly quick. So unless you're trying to wait for a freshly baked cookie, you really should be in and out. There's no place to sit or anything like that, so don't even think about driving here--there isn't any parking anyway. It's a one-stop shop for an ice cream sandwich craving with freshly baked cookies and good soft-serve. That's all it is, and I like it. Try to the double chocolate chip cookie with mint chocolate chip combination! read more

I think this is a great location! I mean it's perfect for the downtown scene. People come out from clubbing and partying and then come here for some late night sweets. This place is the best for the munchies or hangovers for desserts. It is what is though; same cookie ice cream sandwiches, long lines, etc. This location is really tiny and pretty messy. It doesn't look attractive but hey it works! The windows need to be cleaner, the inside needs to be swept up, but that's about it. I'd definitely come here whenever I'm done partying in dtsj! read more

3.5 stars I drunkenly past this place many times and was never patient enough to wait in the long lines. I cam here one afternoon when there was no line. I like the idea of being able to customize your own ice cream Sandwich from the cookies, to the ice cream to the toppings. I got the M&M Chocolate Chip Cookies with Strawberry Cheesecake and Heath Bar topping. The cookies were fresh and chewy, but the ice cream seemed very standard. Final Thoughts: I would return but not if there is a huge line. This place is good but some-what a little too hyped up. read more

Get your ice cream fix! Any CREAM ice cream sandwich is good for anytime! This location has a discount if you pay cash. Regular price is $2.99 but with with cash, it's $2.50. Pick your flavor of cookies and ice cream. I had peanut butter and white chocolate macadamia but cookie and cup of joe ice cream. It was really good! Always fun to try new flavors and new combos. 3 stars for this place cause it's really small and the environment is a bit dirty. Plus, it's downtown so you'll never know what will happen or the crazy things you will see. read more

UPDATE: my 2nd visit here redeemed my forst unsatisfying experience! There was a line out the door late last Thursday night, but it moved efficiently. I was able glad for the extra minutes to pick a flavor! This time around, I got salted caramel with peanut butter cookies. Delish! My last sandwich with peanut buttr ice cream wasnt appetizing because of the dry white choc macadamia cookies- I'd steer clear of them. All the workers had excellent service (this time around), the girl who helped me was sweet and pleasant. No issues with the cashier trying to recharge pocket change from us like last time, thankfully.. haha. Overall solid ice cream sandwich, yes hyped but still yummy! You get what you pay for which is pretty cheap regardless! I'll be back whenever i'm downtown. read more

Really yummy ice cream sandwiches! While I can't say that either their ice cream or their cookies are the best that I've ever had, both are still pretty darned good, especially when paired together. Plus, at $2.50 a pop its a steal. I will echo some of the comments about hard cookies - my first time here my girlfriend's chocolate chocolate chip cookies were a bit hard (a major no-no for ice cream sandwiches), but at my last visit our cookies were all deliciously soft (butter sugar and snickerdoodle). My guess is that different types of cookies are more susceptible to hardening, so ymmv. A word on the wait: if you decide to swing by on a weekend night in between dinner time and drunk time, be prepared to find a line, but luckily it actually moves reasonably quickly. read more

It's good. Decent ice cream and cookies. There's quite a few cookie places in downtown right now. And this one stacks up about the same as any of the others. The place itself looks a little dated, but it's indistinguishable from any of the other cookie and ice cream shops downtown. Try 'em all! I couldn't tell which was best. read more

Just got done with the worst service ever! Nothing worst than when someone rushing you to order! Especially when it's your first time being there! I didn't even want to drive downtown and he made it worse!! The short guy that works there! Rushing me and telling "here here here" basically like can you take your damn ice cream already?? Who the hell ruins ice cream night!!!??? I mean cmon. You can't work at a ice cream shop and be miserable and make others feel bad about it! #Vented. I'm just glad the ice cream was good! One is literally for the service! Get rid of that short guy. read more

Utterly addicting! Ice cream and freshly baked cookies in a handheld treat! Their freshly baked cookies come in a huge array of flavors like white chocolate chip macadamia, snicker doodle, peanut butter, oatmeal raisin, double chocolate chip, cappuccino chip and chocolate chip, just to name my faves. After picking out your cookie, you are faced with an agonizing decision, which flavor of ice cream will pair well with the cookies you've chosen. Be conservative and go with chocolate or vanilla. But why be boring when you can choose from strawberry cheesecake, banana fudge walnut or salted caramel? My favorite combination is cup o joe ice cream with the white chocolate macadamia nut cookie. If ice cream sandwiches are not your thing, there are also sundaes, brownies, shakes, floats and malts. I seriously wanna try the ice cream taco sundae I've seen pictured in the store. They also have organic and gluten free options if you're looking for healthier alternatives. read more

It's good to see CREAM opened in downtown San Jose. I'm sure the college kids and bar goers will enjoy the late hours of ice cream and cookies. Normally there is a line here, but now that it's winter, it's less busy. The ice cream here is not very good in my opinion. It doesn't have flavor and tastes icy. I've tried their ice cream several times and I'm always disappointed. I like the cookies though. They are delicious. This place seems to be run by high school students. I'm not sure if that's true, but it's not the best service. And if there is a line it could take a while. read more

I scream for ice cream....dang it. I feel like I have used that line already. This ice cream place in downtown San Jose is not bad. I got that salted caramel and some cookies. I hate doing the comparison thing, but it is so natural and sinful to compare this restaurant and Diddy Reise. So price wise, it is a pretty good deal. I must say that you should come hither here if you want some decent ice cream and cookies. I will say that their ice cream is better than their cookies. So come check it out after you ate some lunch or dinner at the other amazing restaurants in San Jose. read more

If you're craving an ice cream sandwich, and this is a five-star option. And they have a different cookie types to choose from, and love that they allow you to get two different cookies for each side of your sandwich. Tons of ice cream options as well. For an extra dollar I opted for two scoops! As naughty an experience that you can have for less than five dollars! read more

This place is so good! Why aren't there any of these in SoCal? Warm, fresh baked cookies surrounding a very generous scoop of ice cream. I'm sure they're not the creators of America's beloved ice cream sandwich, however Cream has marketed it the best. They've got every kind of cookie, ice cream, and topping in the biz, including vegan options. Cream has also got the hip acronym name that's just got people going instagram crazy while chomping down. Add the killer cheap pricing and voila! Cream, the masters of the ice cream sandwich craze, is born. Downtown location, therefore parking can be a hassle. Safeway on 2nd validates, so buy a bottle of water or a can of beer from Safeway's cooler to chug your sandwich down with and your parking is free! read more

CREAM - Warm peanut butter cookies with mint chocolate chip ice cream! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - San Jose, California

Service was amazing, workers are very nice and helpful :D my new summer favorite spot!!

Warm, delectable cookies + ice cream make me a happy camper. I was happy to learn that a CREAM opened up in the South Bay so I could finally give the place a try without making a trek to the East Bay. I arrived shortly after opening on a Saturday morning, greeted by some groovy beats of Future (oh yes). As they say, the early bird gets the worm as we didn't have to wait long to put our order in. I overheard some other customers talking about how the line's been out the door, which doesn't surprise me considering the close proximity to SJSU and the hype with any spot like this. Yes, the location isn't the greatest with some homeless folks wandering around, but at least it makes for an entertaining place to people watch while stuffing your face with ice cream and/or cookies. The vegan and gluten free cookie options are to the right when you enter and the regular cookie options are straight ahead along with the ice cream options. I totally dogged the sample case of cookies that clearly identified what each cookie looked like. Who doesn't like visuals? I went with a green tea cookie sandwich with a double chocolate chip and snicker doodle cookie. What makes or breaks a cookie and therefore ice cream cookie sandwich for me is the texture of a cookie. The cookies at CREAM were warm and chewy and complemented the ice cream. Ain't nobody got time for a cardboard cookie! I thought the cookies wereThe ice cream wasn't the best that I've had, but still very good with plenty of flavors available. Note that ice cream sandwich prices are cheaper if you're about that cash life. I hate to say it, but I'd choose CREAM over Diddy Riese for an ice cream sammie. CREAM (Wu-Tang's def) so that I can buy yummy thinks like CREAM's ice cream sandwiches. Boom! read more

My friends and I came here one night for dessert! Luckily, the line was long at all (it was a cold rainy night.. Yeah, crazy us). So I ordered the green tea ice cream with macadamia cookie, my two favorites! I took a bite of the ice cream first, delicious. Bit off a piece of cookie, yum. Then when it was finally manageable, I took a bite of the two together. I thought I would have gotten punch in the face by the "wow why didn't you try this sooner?!" But unfortunately I didn't. Don't get me wrong, I will go back and try other flavors. Maybe it wasn't the "right" combo even though others have claimed that green tea and macadamia are good together! More review about the place, it is small! Tiny little shop in the corner, but it's a cute place. Workers were super friendly and actually happy to be working there! They were smiling and dancing at 8p at night on a cold rainy day. Their menu has a variety of items to choose from, not just an ice cream cookie ($2.50). Which is pretty cheap, and worth it for the amount that you get. You can also switch it up and have the cookies separate and have the scoop of ice cream put into a cup. They'll charge you an extra 25 cents for the cup. read more

CREAM - Green tea with macadamia cookie. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - San Jose, California

Who can say no to ice cream?! And ice cream sandwiches with two delicious and warm cookies and with a giant scoop of ice cream in between?! Well, I couldn't resist. By the way, Cookies (does) Rule Everything Around Me. I love the location of this particular CREAM because it's in a walking distance from school and I can go any time! This branch is smaller than the one in Palo Alto, but definitely roomier and clean than the Berkeley one. But who cares, we just want ice cream! The ice cream and cookies themselves are up to standards like the other branches and I definitely can't tell the difference. But they do run out of flavors! I wanted strawberry cheesecake today but they ran out, so I ended up getting a very berry strawberry with green tea! The flavors were there and so yummy! They give you giant scoops, too! It's like more than one scoop of their scooper! Yay! It's very affordable! It's under $3 for two scoops in a cup or an ice cream sandwich. So it's great! Definitely recommend dropping by. And now that the hype has lessened, the line is shorter! read more

What's not to love? Freshly baked cookies and giant scoops of ice cream for cheap and open late. I love their green tea, coffee and cinnamon ice cream flavors.

This was my first time coming here. My girlfriend told me about this place and I've always wanted to try it. Since I live in the area I might as well try it out. I know parking downtown can be hectic but I always park in the Safeway parking garage since they can validate your ticket for up to 2 hours. After you reach the 2 hour limit then you'd have to pay $6 for parking. The ice cream shop is quite small. They do have some searing outside but nothing too big. Anyway, I got 2 different types of cookies (butter sugar & snickerdoodle with coconut ice cream and whip cream as my topping). I have to say I was quite amazed. However I think I would have enjoyed my ice cream sandwich if the cookies were fresh from the oven. The cookies were a bit hard since its been sitting out for a while. In terms of price, I don't think it's pricey at all. Overall, I would come here again!!!!!!!!! read more

Super good. But it could have just been after we had a hot dog at 2am, we needed dessert. This places was open and the bright blue lights beckoned me.

I will have to try it again when i am sober. read more

Let me start by saying I am not a big ice cream fan. This little place changed my Life! Want an awesome sugar high? You get to choose your cookie that is served warm out of a little oven an then you choose your ice cream and toppings. I did a nice mismatch on my cookies, and chose,White Chocolate Macadamia Nut & Red Velvet with a scoop of Coconut ice cream, with some sprinkles of almonds and coconuts and a tiny squirt whipped cream. I floated on my sugar high for about an hour.......... YUM! Go get you ice cream on and taste a little bit of heaven in downtown San Jose!!!!!! read more

Do you like ice cream? What about cookies? PORQUE NO LOS DOS? This little ice cream shop puts ice cream in between two cookies. You can even mix and match the cookies. I thought the whole experience was very fun. The desserts are obviously very sweet and the cookies aren't the best in the world (it tasted like a regular chocolate chip to me), but if I were in the area I would go get another one. They're not super expensive either (I'm surprised, I feel like this item would be like $7 in San Francisco). Parking is a little challenging since it's in downtown San Jose. You probably have to do street parking if you want to be right next to the shop. read more

CREAM - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - San Jose, California

I think this place was overhyped. In my opinion, I don't think it'd be worth the hassle to head to downtown, try and find parking and then wait in a ridiculous long line to get an ice cream sandwich or sweet treat. It was nice that they have vegan and gluten free options for those that have food allergies or food preferences. We were lucky enough to come here mid day on a Monday and walk from SJSU so we didn't have to worry about parking or an insane line. There was about 6 people in front of us so me and the hubby had time to check out the different flavors of ice cream and cookies. As soon as we left, there was about 15+ people waiting in line. I had the gluten free chocolate chip with the gluten free oatmeal raisin cookie. The gluten free chocolate chip cookie was a little under-cooked (the edges were cooked but the center wasn't,so when they were taken out to cool, the center cooled down and became gooey) The gluten free oatmeal raisin cookie was surprisingly good! I'm not a big raisin fan and the cookie didn't have huge chunks of raisins so it was perfect for me- I enjoyed the texture. In all honesty, I can make em better at home and can eat em freshly baked instead of having the cookie re-heated. The chocoholic hubby had the double chocolate chip cookie with some kind of chocolate ice cream. He enjoyed it, but we both knew we could have made something better at home. Overall, not bad for $2.50 to have a sweet treat! Bring cash if you want to save some extra money since they charge you extra for paying with card. read more

CREAM - gluten free chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin with vanilla ice cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - San Jose, California

Went here with the kids after eating at Good Karma cafe and it was AMAZING. As I stood waiting in the long line I kept oscillating between whether I should choose the cookie or the brownie sandwich but more importantly, how would I ever fit that monstrosity into my mouth? I opted for the brownie, which was slathered in between a slab of salted caramel ice cream, and it was the best frozen dessert I've had in awhile. We'll be back! Another cool thing is they offer vegan treats. They had a double chocolate chip cookie, oatmeal cookie or a chocolate chip banana cookie. Their vegan choices of ice cream was a soy mint chocolate chip (it's vanilla ice cream BTW) and some type fruit ice cream (can't recall). They kids loved theirs and kept exclaiming how wonderful it was. There was only a lone guy working the register but he hailed it like a champ--thinking he might be the owner. You can tell he really cares about the quality and is a super fast worker! I am thrilled that CREAM offers a pretty decent selection of vegan options. It's tough finding food places that cater to both (dairy and non diary), especially at affordable prices and we greatly appreciate that. We cannot wait to return. read more
