    Late-night dessert runs in downtown San Jose always hit different at CREAM. The warm cookies with cold ice cream in the middle are the perfect combo, and there are so many flavors and cookie options to mix and match. The ice cream sandwiches are huge, fresh, and definitely worth the mess. Great spot to satisfy a sweet tooth after dinner or a night out downtown.

    Raspberry Sorbet and Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich
    Brian T.

    Was walking around and wanted to get a quick dessert. Always pass by it and never had it. It wasn't too crowded, so we got our food pretty quick. Raspberry Sorbet (4.1/5): I really enjoyed the sorbet as it wasn't too icy and had a nice raspberry flavor to it. I think that if it was strawberry flavor in this consistency, I love it very much. I would get it again. I shall return to try more flavor.

    Love the ice cream sandwiches here! The chocolate chip cookie (warmed up) and vanilla ice cream is a classic, go-to pairing.

    Ice cream here is amazing! They give out scoops, and the pieces are huge. Chunks and good optimization for flavors. Gluten free cookies and options available. Favorite flavors are Cookies and Crème/ Strawberry Cheesecake It's pretty crowded at night time.

    Got an ice cream sandwich after a Sharks game. Birthday cake flavor was my favorite after trying samples and chose that for my sandwich. Was very tasty! Highly recommend and the staff was very friendly felt like visiting a friend. Would recommend heading over there after a Sharks game. There were a few of us and other groups that went there after the game.

    Strawberry cheesecake, one scoop

    While in downtown San Jose, I decided to stop by here with friends. I sampled the chocoholic, cookie dough, and strawberry cheesecake before I ultimately opted to get a single scoop of strawberry cheesecake in a cup. The chocoholic is very chocolatey. The cookie dough was quite sweet, had almost an artificial-tasting tang to it, which I found a bit off-putting. The strawberry cheesecake was very sweet and reminded me of butter. I did like it overall but generally I prefer my cheesecake to taste more sour and not super sweeet. Overall it was decent and the price was not bad ($4.80 for the single scoop at the time when I went) and the location is convenient to reach by walking or public transit.

    Apparently, this is a popular dessert branch in NorCal. They specialize in ice cream and cookies. I think my only issue was that Yelp and Google hours indicated that the shop was open, they had the open sign light on, and then there was a paper sign stating that they were closed and out on break but gave no indication on when they'd be back. We were actually so close to just going to Insomnia Cookies but when we were there, their online cashier system was down. This was already after circling the area a couple times and it was during a con so we needed to get back, but in the nick of time, CREAM re-opened with their singular worker to help customers. I got their mini chocolate chip cookies (2) with a small scoop of their salted caramel ice cream. This was a little over $4 and is a small snack size if you don't wanna down a huge dessert. The ice cream, despite being freshly scooped was already melting quickly. The cookies were a bit "harder" than what I would expect from "freshly baked" cookies. Overall a bit mid, but maybe it was just an off weekend (though big L since it was during Fanime). PS. Idk who is running their official website but you freaking embedded a link to a paper writing service. Not sure if that was on purpose lmao.

    We visit Cream every so often, usually in the evening after dinner. It's a rather cramped location, and last night, it seemed 9 of us all had the same idea at the same time, so we all crammed in for a treat. Luckily, they have kiosks allowing you to place your order digitally rather than waiting for your order to be taken. I've only ever encountered 1 person working at a time, and it can get a little busy, but we've never waited too terribly long. The ice cream is great, you get quite a bit for the price, and while the staff is usually very quiet and head down, they are still nice and try their best to work quickly. There is no seating, inside or out, and they are often out of waffle cones, but the brownies, cookies, ice cream and gelato are all worth the trip.

    After eating dinner at a city nearby, we decided we wanted some late-night dessert too. We went here on a Saturday around 12:20AM and there was a short wait! This icecream shop is VERY small, so it felt very crowded inside even with their lack of seats. I was looking for something easy to eat, so I got a sundae. For their sundaes, you get to build your own and choose the type of toppings to go with it. We ordered the Cookie Sundae w/ Rocky Road Icecream to share. This icecream was good and I thought it was cool how it contained a bunch of Oreo cookie crumbs and also let me choose my choice of cookie to add on top, which I ended up choosing their Snickerdoodle cookie. I'd recommend this place! I love how much variety they have. They sell other desserts ranging from icecream, cookie icecream sandwiches, sundaes, and icecream tacos too!

    This Cream location has really come back! They're offering better quality gelato, which is not the same as ice cream. Plus they give you a generous scoop each time. My favorite combo is the pistachio and giandiuja chocolate. I'll definitely be back soon.

There are small bowls that you can use to share the items you order. We ordered the Melon Rock and the strawberry flavor one. Both items were at least $20, equivalent of a meal. It is a luxury dessert place. We came around 3pm and it was packed. When we were leaving, it was still crowded. This is a pretty popular Korean dessert place. As I heard the one that is located in Korea is three floors high in Seoul and every floor is full of people eating desserts. It is delicious. I can come once In awhile so it doesn't break my bank lol. It is delicious.

They give you the option to put double matcha (for the honey matcha latte) which is a plus! The double shot of matcha and the honey pairs really well together. It has the perfect amount of sweetness and a perfect amount of matcha to make it taste rich without being bitter. The strawberry matcha latte has strawberry puree and strawberry bits which makes it taste really sweet. It's a really good contrast of flavors and an overall solid strawberry matcha latte. They also updated the self-ordering kiosk with 2 instead of one now, so there's barely any lines now compared to when they first opened. The drinks are a lot quicker so you don't have to wait too long. There's also no seats inside but there's plenty of waiting space on the outside patio! Overall I would highly recommend this place for matcha lovers. Their matcha is super rich in flavor and they have a lot of options. Sometimes, they also have matcha powder in stock too! The spot is also right off of 280 so it's pretty convenient.

My first experience was pretty mid because the ceremonial matcha latte was VERY strong and bitter. I couldn't finish it and it made me super jittery. After coming back a few more times though, I found a couple things I really liked. The Crème Brûlée Matcha was delicious. I finished the entire drink. You can't change the sweetness level, which is unfortunate, but their recommended sweetness actually balanced the stronger matcha really well. The ice cream is probably the best thing here. Super creamy, perfectly sweet and really well blended. I would honestly come back just for the ice cream. The strawberry matcha latte was pretty unmemorable to me, and the hojicha was also extremely bitter. Service was good. The barista was kind and helpful, which I appreciated. You order through a kiosk, so there isn't a ton of interaction overall. When I first came around their opening, there was basically no line. After they started getting more hype, the lines became longer and longer. I think it's worth trying, but personally I wouldn't wait in a huge line for it. Overall, the matcha itself tastes authentic and is prepared well, but some drinks are just too bitter for my preference. My recommendations: the ice cream or Crème Brûlée Matcha. Those were easily the standouts for me.
