"Cream, get on top. Cream, you will cop. Cream, don't you stop. Cream, sha boogie bop." - "Cream", Prince The second & superior liquid nitrogen ice cream shop I've ever been to, Creamistry is located just a stone's throw away from me in Cerritos. Located in the uber busy 85 Degrees plaza, parking can be a pain but's definitely worth your while to pay a visit for some flash frozen foolery. Here's the itinerary, brothers & sisters- Choose your size- Small, Medium, Family & Specialty Choose your base- Premium, Organic (extra charge), Sorbet & NitroDole Choose your flavor- 50+ Choose your toppings/mix-ins- 50+ Choose your vessel- Cup, cone, waffle etc. Arriving with a few friends, it was the perfect opportunity to have a taste of what everyone ordered. Chocolate hazelnut, w/ Premium base-Wow! The liquid nitrogen ice cream was dense like gelato. The flavor was on point, with chocolate satisfying this chocoholic & the hazelnut undertones giving me flashbacks to when I'd finish a Nutella jar in one day. Oh, the memories.......... Churro, w/ Premium base-Viva la raza! Can't go wrong with some cinnamon-sugar sweetness. Tasted like it's namesake, if a little muted. A more assertive churro presence would've contented my tastebuds Reese's Peanut Butter, w/ Premium base-For the peanut butter lover in all of us, the Reese's is dangerous. I felt my hips starting to sag over my man spanx ;p Delicious! Cookie Butter, w/ Premium base-Another deadly concoction that'll deep-six your diet, the cookie butter tasted just like having a spoonful of Trader Joe's cookie butter. I was as happy as when I put salt on my rear end & went to the petting zoo ;p BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Creamistry gets quite busy, even past 10pm when we were there. Expect your custom creation to take awhile before holding it in your grubby paws. Seating is minimal, with a few 2-person tables available. There are places to sit outdoors, if you don't care to see the liquid nitrogen show being performed in front of you. Creamistry, you're as cool as a cucumber & I'm a fan! I immensely enjoyed all that I had the pleasure to taste. The myriad of different possible flavor combinations will have me coming back with a grin, again & again. Highly recommend!

I've never tried ice cream made using liquid nitrogen until I came here recently after dinner. There's about 40+ cream/fruit/nut flavors to choose from and a number of mix ins and toppings to choose from. You can also choose premium, organic or non-dairy base ice cream. They also have a preset menu of flavor/mix ins. We chose the Matcha green tea with mochi. The ice cream itself was smooth. You can taste the freshness. With the waffle, mochi, and organic base, it came out to $9. Thanks Marvy! A bit pricey for ice cream. Really, you're paying for the show. I'm okay with watching it once. Definitely worth a try. read more

If your looking for some overpriced premium nitrogen ice cream, go to CREAMISTRY. The concept of creating your customized ice cream with Nitrogen is pretty cool. Being able to watch as it's done right in front of you is even cooler. Here's the breakdown how to order: Choose size: Small, medium, family or specialty Choose base: Premium, organic or sorbet Choose flavor and mix/toppings: 40+ flavors 40+ mix/toppings Matcha Green tea, Black Sesame, Taro, Coffee, Horchata, Churro and Mango were some of the top flavors. Lots and lots of ice cream toppings such as Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Kit Kat, Heath Bar, Gummi, Mochi, Walnuts. I just finished stuffing my face at dinner so I went for something simple. I ordered a Small Coffee ice cream with Heath bar topping for $6.75. I'm waiting in line for my ice cream and being nosey listening to the conversation behind me. The two girls order two mediums with a variety of different toppings. I hear the cashier give them the total... $32. Really? For $32 you can get a 1/2 gallon of ice cream for under $5 and 25 different things you can add in the ice cream at the 99 cents store. This place is way more expensive then your typical ice cream shop. Creamistry is just okay. It was good but not the creamiest and not the best. Unless someone wants to pay for my overpriced ice cream, I probably won't be back. read more

After more than a month of curiosity, Creamistry finally opened. I had read a few things about this Nitrogen ice cream so I was interested in giving it a try. I think what actually sold me were the flavors they offer and seeing some of the gas pouring out of the mixers. My largest concern was the value, was the larger than regular price tag worth the schtick? I decided to go with the cookies and cream and the wife went with the black sesame. Something to think about, as a result of them mixing the ice cream right there, anything that would normally get soggy is actually crispy and fresh. This is a refreshing change in texture and flavor and is most certainly noticeable. The cookies and cream were delightfully crisp and the "cream" still had a sweet flavor with the sugary texture. Highly recommended. For something different, you can try the black sesame which is again, rich in flavor and is goes very well with the creamy base. It's hard to compare this to anything since I have never really had anything like it in the past. Now for the side I was concerned about, each ice cream was a hefty $6 a piece without toppings. If you want the toppings, add another $1. No sir. While the treat was unique and different, the price tag is a bit high. In my opinion, at the very least a single topping should be included. It's new and clean with tons of staff training so go a touch easy on them. They are frequently getting the order mixed up, forgetting to print tickets, etc... Overall, in my opinion worthwhile to give it a try for the creaminess and the unique flavors but after the exploration is over likely a very seldom visit. read more

Liquid nitrogen is so much cooler being used to make ice cream than it is in a real laboratory setting because there's dessert involved (uhh yes, I'd like to give my lab one star please lol). The first step is to choose a base; you get the choice of sorbet, premium milk, organic milk or pineapple sorbet. The next step is to choose your flavor and there were plenty to choose from. I saw that they had churro, cinnamon toast crunch, fruity flavors and other various chocolate ones, but I opted for Captain Crunch (that's how they spelled it unlike the actual cereal itself). I'm so glad they didn't skimp on the cereal pieces because it would've been plain but every bite contained plenty of cereal! Finally, you can choose an additional topping for $1 each. Since I'm still a child apparently, I got mini gummy bears mixed in with my ice cream. There were also flavor combinations that were being advertised which looked good, too. The small size was perfect for an individual and it goes up to the family size which I'm sure is more than enough to share. Overall, I'm definitely coming back to try other flavors when I'm in the area! read more

The whole liquid nitrogen process is pretty cool, but $6 is a little too steep for a cup of ice cream! Their ordering sequence consists of three steps. First, you choose your size and base: Signature Premium (which they claim is the smoothest and creamiest of all the bases); Organic, Sorbet (4 flavors), or Coconut. Next, choose your flavor: Creamy, Fruity, or Nutty. I think they had about 38 different flavors in total! Last, choose your toppings: Candy, Nuts, Cookies/Cakes, Fruits, and/or Syrups. I ordered a Matcha Green Tea with Mochi, one of Creamistry's "Top Picks" according to their display list. The Signature Premium base was definitely super creamy, and the mochi paired really well with the matcha. It wasn't too sweet, but it did melt a little faster than I expected it to. I also got to try a taste of my friends' Thai Tea, which was pretty sweet, as well as the Taro, which had a pretty strong taro flavor. Creamistry definitely has a fun atmosphere. Candy toppings are displayed in different sized beakers, and you can watch them make your ice cream with the liquid nitrogen through the glass. Their ice cream is pretty good and they have a nice variety of flavors, but the high cost for what you get might have me choosing another ice cream shop next time. read more

Creamistry - Matcha Green Tea, Thai Tea, and Taro Ice Cream with mochi - Desserts Near Me - Cerritos, California

$6.25 for a small ice cream? WHAT THE F*********************************************?????? For this price there should be a cow on site and each ice cream should be made fresh from its milk. I expected to pay more for liquid nitrogen ice cream but this is simply ridiculous. I've been to two other places that make liquid nitrogen ice cream and the price was not nearly this much. One place even uses organic ingredients that are locally sourced, and even that place doesn't charge this much. For similar size I paid about $4-$5 at the other place. This place actually charges extra if you go with organic base ice cream. I think it's about $0.75 extra so you end up paying $7 if you go with organic base. Don't get me wrong, the ice cream tasted great and the texture was very smooth, thanks to smaller crystals generated from using liquid nitrogen. I just don't think the price matches the quality. The wait time is also ridiculous. You need patience to eat liquid nitrogen ice cream since each ice cream is made to order. However, this place seemed slower than other places I've been to. From the time I placed my order, it took about 15 minutes before I got my ice cream. It's a good thing I came when it wasn't too busy, otherwise I probably would've waited at least 30 minutes. On the positive side, Creamistry has tons of flavors and topping options. They have about 50 different flavors and toppings to choose from. It's quite overwhelming and I think that's part of the reason the line tends to move slow because people have a hard time deciding. I suggest you look over the menu before you get here. You can access the menu from Yelp app. You can look at their top 12 flavors if you want to narrow down your choice. They are cookie butter, cookies & cream, Nutella, pure hazelnut, nitrogen dole, strawberry, matcha green tea, coffee, mint, chocolate, black sesame, and vanilla bean. Ordering is pretty simple: 1. Choose size (small, medium, large) 2. Choose base (premium, organic, or real fruit sorbet) 3. Choose toppings (if you want) If you've never been to a liquid nitrogen ice cream place, I recommend checking this place out at least once. For me, it's just another ice cream place I can scratch off my ice bucket list. read more

"Welcome to Creamistry!" ... Aaahhh, thank you! Creamistry is my luxurious dessert place of choice for ice cream! I have had it from here three times now. I say luxurious because first of all, it is sooo creamy & rich, and secondly, it MUST be high in calories!! For those reasons, I cannot indulge as often as I'd really want to! Plus, it is a little too pricey & is considered a splurge! I really enjoy watching the Liquid Nitrogen in action and freezing the ingredients into the yumminess I know it will be! I did notice that the mixers in this Creamistry are different from the ones installed in Irvine. Nevertheless, they both function the same, from my vantage point! I usually get the Pistachio with almonds mixed in. This particular visit, I got the Match Green Tea. Both are delicious! When it is packed to go, I think they add just a tad bit more Nitrogen so it will still be frozen when it reaches its' destination. The couple times my son & his girlfriend brought them to me, they were fine! And it was about 20-30 minutes later. I like their waffle cones... more like a waffle cookie folded in half and put in a paper bag if it is on the side, and not served in your cup. When they are fresh & cooked properly, they are crispy and perfect. When they are either under-cooked or stale, they get chewy and are difficult to break off, bite and/or eat! If they put a Creamistry in my area, I'll be in trouble! Good thing I have a little distance between it and me! If you haven't given it a try yet, I urge you to get in your car and head their way! It will be a very tasty dessert and worth the drive (well, I don't have a cap on how far one should actually go to get here)!! Find one near you and get there! read more

The novelty of liquid nitrogen ice cream has worn off for me; once the razzle-dazzle of the process is no longer exciting then one starts to wonder if the price is worth it. I walked into Creamistry at 1pm on a weekday. Business was steady but there was no line. I ordered a small cup of cookie butter. They really have the process streamlined here as it took only a couple minutes for my ice cream to be prepared and created, ready to enjoy. I even came back a couple days later to have a small "dole whip" in a cup (wow! yum!) and again, no line and quick service. The ice cream is indeed very creamy and more dense than regular ice cream. I can't dispute that it tastes great. I also can't dispute that the workers here are very chipper and customer-friendly. This is still a fun place to come once in a while but I'd be more apt to patronize one of the custard or shaved ice places in the area which provide equal if not more pleasure at a lower cost. read more

Ok, I'm a fan. My first experience here was eh. I didn't know what was good to get and I went for the basic combo: green tea, mochi, red bean. It wasn't all that great so I never went back until yesterday! I went with captain crunch and Nutella (a combo recommended by my friend) and it was AMAZING! Now I see what the hype is all about! I recommend the cereal flavors, one of my friends had the fruity pebbles flavor and it was really yummy. What I really like about the ice-cream is that it isn't mushy and takes its time to melt unlike other ice creams that melt quickly. I had captain crunch Icecream at Sprinkles Ice-cream and the cereal was mushy but the one at creamistry was crunchy and sweet! I can't wait to go back and try the other cereal flavors!! read more

Yelp 100 Challenge 2017 34/100 I haven't been here in at least a year and I was pleasantly and unpleasantly shocked. I was happy that the taro ice cream was more delicious than I remembered but I was shocked to find out it was almost $9! How do you charge $9 for a small ice cream?! The ice cream was very creamy and the toppings were reasonably generous. The ice cream is 4 stars but I'm docking one star for the price. They should also consider add a plain lactose free base because the only one they have now is coconut. Parking is a nightmare in this plaza, always. read more

When enjoying super-awesome liquid nitrogen ice cream from Creamistry, Eddie Murphy's "Delirious" bit fills my head: "I have some ice cream, I have some ice cream. And I'm gonna eat it all. And I'm gonna eat it all!". I love ice cream, but not all ice creams are created equal. When I first heard about Creamistry, I didn't understand what all the chatter was about. But I wanted to see if this place's buzz was well-deserved. When you order you choose your "base" - Signature Premium, Organic Straus Creamery (extra charge for this), non-dairy sorbet, or NitroDole pineapple sorbet. You pick a size and then decide on one of their pre-set flavors or mix and match your flavor with customized mix-ins (mix-ins are $1 each). A regular size with no additional mix-ins will set you back $5.50 (the reg size is a hefty sized scoop). Before trying it, I used to think it was too expensive for ice cream, but IMO the quality, taste, and uniqueness make it well worth it. The taste is amazing! Seriously the creamiest ice cream I've ever had the pleasure of eating. The nerd in me loves the science behind the creamy texture - because the liquid nitrogen freezes the ice cream almost instantly, smaller ice crystals are formed than in standard ice creams, thus resulting in ultra creamy deliciousness! The kid in me loves the "show" that goes on when watching the ice creams being made in front of you through the glass counter partition. As the employees add the liq nitro, large amounts of cold smoke fill the area and cascade down the counter, fun for kids and adults to watch. They have great flavors here that are different than the standard strawberry, chocolate, and vanilla. Some Asian influenced flavors: black sesame (really good with loads of yummy black sesame bits), (sweet) red bean, green tea, Thai tea (really good), lychee, and taro. Salted Caramel is also a must-try, perfectly sweet and salty. Other interesting flavors that I've yet to try are Captain Crunch, Nutella, Orange Bang!, and Tiramisu. Tonight I decided to get the mint flavor with Oreo mix-in with the standard Premium Base. Tasted like a Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookie! I have to say that getting crispy mix-in items is a great choice because whatever you choose will remain crunchy after the ice cream is frozen. So unlike store-bought cookies and cream where the cookies turn soggy, the instant freezing process keeps the cookies' crunch intact. So. Friggin. Good. If you're taking your ice cream to-go, they actually give your order an extra blast freeze to keep it frozen longer! And keep your receipt, if you bring it back within 7 days, they'll give you 10% off your next order (valid M-F only). You've got me hooked, Creamisty. I will be back, again and again until I work my way through all your delicious flavors. I may have to get a second job to support my habit, but dammit I'll do it for a fix of your sweet, sweet yumminess. read more

I like this location because there are plenty of seats to sit outside! Inside the store was extremely cold, probably because of the nitrogen they need to use for the ice cream, but I liked that it was still a spacious store with enough tables and seats AND there's enough room to stand or sit outside. I got a double cookies and cream and shared with three other people.. It comes with a generous amount of ice cream. Would definitely come again to try more original and unique flavors though! read more

I did my Yelp research, so I knew going into Creamistry what it was going to be about! Due to the wealth of internet information, I wasn't offended by the pricing, clubby pop music or the lengthy line in front of me. Thanks to Alana M for the heads up about this place: http://www.yelp.com/biz/creamistry-cerritos-2?hrid=g8J9bP7f6vf23UmhN7ZnOQ This place checks off a lot of yeses. Yes, the ice cream is made right in front of you using nitrogen and fancy blenders. Yes, you will be paying at least $6 for a small cup with a mix in. Yes, the ice cream is heavier and creamier in texture than you'd expect. Yes, it is a fad concept and clearly very popular. In fact, this whole plaza is full of popular Asian favorites like Gen Korean BBQ, 85 degrees, Class 302 Cafe and Creamistry. It is like being in Irvine, but you're in Cerritos! lol. All in all, I enjoyed Coolhaus in Culver City better. Pick your poison - do you want to go to Cerritos and deal with Asian foodies and swirls of nitrogen gas or go to DT Culver City and rub shoulders with all the artsy hispters while eating an ice cream cookie sando? Both have pros and cons. but I leave it to you! read more

I love ice cream. I know good ice cream when I taste it. So when I saw a Creamistry was opening at Cerritos I wanted to find out what it was all about. So I did some research. There were good reviews and the ice cream was made on the spot. I even checked the online menu to have an idea of what they had. I also kept track of the opening date. I didn't go when it opened so I decided to go as soon as possible before the word spreads. So I went today. The line was long, but it wasn't too bad. It's a bit pricey, but I just hoped that it's worth the price. I looked at the top pick, because I can just mix what I like, but it doesn't mean it's the best. The top pick is cookie butter and marshmallow cream. I went with that and premium milk so it's rich and creamy. Luckly I had a friend so I'm not bored and in no time I got my ice cream. It's about a twenty minute wait. I loved watching them make the ice cream and I was messing with the smoke due to the nitrogen. After the wait I finally got it. I literally was so excited. It looked simple, but I was hoping for an amazing taste once it hits my mouth. Oh my gosh!! Everything I dreamed of!! Creamy and rich and the right amount if sweetness. Fun new flavor that isn't common which is what I was looking for. It's definitely gourmet ice cream even if it's not gourmet. Taste gourmet to me!!!! I loved it! I will definitely come back!!! read more

We made an ice cream pit stop as we were craving some Creamistry. I've checked out Creamistry once before in Beverly Hills and I have to say this spot is so much friendlier, faster, and not cheap with their servings. It didn't take too long for our custom orders of vanilla bean, chocolate chips, and strawberries to come out. As the guy was pumping up the nitrogen, he was entertaining the crowd which made it a fun experience. The ice cream was super smooth and fulfilling for small size. You do end up paying a little more than you're average ice cream but you get a little show with the nitrogen and a made-to-order ice cream! read more

What does Creamistry have that Cold Stone doesn't? Nitrogen! They mix your cream base with Nitrogen and this will create your ice cream. There is a three step process in choosing the type of product you'll get. First, you choose your cup size. I chose the small. Next, you choose your milk- there are 4 choices. I chose the premium since it is all-natural and had no preservatives. Then you have to pore over the 40 different types of mix-ins you want. I ordered a small premium with Nutella as the ice cream base with my mix-ins being mochi and Snickers with chocolate syrup as the final topping. As I waited in line with the rest of Cerritos, I noticed that they have a live Twitter feed screen going so you can see what people think about their orders. I thought that was pretty cool. As I sat down and started into my ice cream, I noticed that it came apart in chunks at the top and thick at the middle and the bottom. It was very rich. I will be back, but I think I will return at an earlier time. As the picture suggests, it gets crowded- especially on a Friday night. read more

What you really need to know: at around $5.50, you get ice cream. Creamy, delicious ice cream. Has the premium texture of smooth velvet. Never melty, either. It's a great, dense consistency. Step 1: choose your base (whole milk, organic whole milk, or non dairy, sorbet bases- blueberry, mango, strawberry, peach, pineapple). You'll pay extra for organic. Step 2: choose mix ins. You get one, & pay extra for extra add ins. Step 3: toppings. Any topping can be a mix in and vice versa. Parking can suck royally. So can the wait. But if you're there for the experience of super-frozen ice cream & to hang about with friends, it's worth a try. read more

I got a small Captain Crunch with the premium base. I am a fan of the cereal so I really enjoyed the texture of the crushed Captain Crunch pieces and the flavor was pretty subtle. My husband got a small Cookie Butter which I tried a few bites of. The flavor was really sweet (a little too sweet for me) and very creamy. What I liked about Creamistry is how the ice cream is creamy yet doesn't melt too fast. Also, the whole liquid nitrogen thing is a cool concept. What I didn't like about the place is it's pretty dang expensive for ice cream! We spent over $11 total for our two small ice creams, and we didn't even add any extra toppings or mix-ins. The small was actually pretty big and I couldn't finish it. A small is definitely enough for 2 to share if you're not gonna eat too much. Overall, pretty good ice cream but overpriced. It's good to try once but I wouldn't go out of my way to come back here again. Parking: private lot. In the same plaza as Gen BBQ & 85C. read more

Creamistry originally started in Irvine in 2013 and now it has rapidly expanded in the last 3 years with over 10+ locations in SoCal (with many more soon to be open locations). You will find Creamistry located in the same plaza as 85C Bakery Cafe, Gen Korean BBQ, and Class 302 Cafe in Cerritos. The menu was pretty overwhelming and it took me a while to figure out the ordering process: Step 1 (technically 2 mini-steps): Choose a size first (mini $3.95, single $5.50, double $8.50, nitroshake $7.50) and follow by choose a base (signature premium, organic [cost extra], coconut, or sorbet). Step 2: Choose a flavor (30+ different options) Step 3: Choose toppings. EACH topping & waffle bowl is additional $1 for single or double size & additional $0.50 for mini size. Brownie bowl is additional $1.50 for single or double size & additional $0.75 for mini size. Chocolate bowl is additional $2.00. *** Black Sesame (mini - $3.95, $0.50 for mochi and another $0.50 for waffle cone): As expected, liquid nitrogen ice cream had pretty smooth texture and ice cream wasn't too sweet. Waffle cone and mochi were not bad, but ice cream did start to melt fairly quickly. *** Seriously I got the smallest serving size (not small, MINI) and it already costed me more than $5 (sure I did get waffle bowl and mochi, but still not cheap). If I really want liquid nitrogen ice cream, then I think à la minute (Orange, CA) and Cauldron Ice Cream (Santa Ana, CA) are much better options. P.S. - You get 10% off if you bring receipt back within 7 days (valid Monday ~ Friday ONLY). It is also a participating member of the FiveStars Loyalty Program. read more

I have visited a similar concept ice cream shop before creamistry. However, I like this place the best. The parking was easy and the store is clean for how crowded it is. The franchise owners are there all the time and they would listen to your suggestions if you can catch them on a slower time. The staff members are friendly and helpful. Even if it's your first time there, you wouldn't feel so lost. Also, if you are not hungry, a small size is a good size. A medium to share if you like the same flavor. I would suggest the cookies n cream for sure. I would also recommend black sesame and matcha tea with mochi. Both are refreshing and flavorful. Oh man, mouth is watering just by thinking about it. I didn't have a chance to try out the sorbet. More reason to go back for. The only thing I don't like about this concept is you can't taste the ice cream before you purchase. But watching them making it in front of you is well worth it. read more

One of the lower end Creamistry's that I have visited. It's pretty filthy here, and kind of disturbing that they make our ice cream on top of these sticky and dirty counter tops. I always order my Cinnamon Toast Crunch ice cream cups and of course they mess up on my order and secretly add in Cap n' Crunch when I didn't ask for it! This location is pretty far from me, so it doesn't bother me that I won't have to encounter this location anytime soon! read more

I'm happy that Cerritos is finally having some great restaurants and dessert places opening up! When I saw the sign that Creamistry was coming soon, the nerdy side of me told me I had to go check it out. This place is unique because they use liquid nitrogen to make the ice cream right in front of you with their special mixers. You get to choose your size, type of ice cream (premium, organic, sorbet) and toppings (which is similar to Coldstone). They also have a menu with top flavors/combos that you can choose from too (if you can't decide). I ordered the Medium-sized Coffee ice cream with almonds in a waffle bowl (which is free if you order at least a medium). The ice cream was rich and creamy! Loved the coffee flavor. It was perfect! I also like the hint of cinnamon they used for their waffle cone. Only downside is the price. It's $6-8 for a small, $10 for a medium. They also sell drinks and shakes. FYI, parking can be a challenge since it's shared with the same plaza as 85 degrees, Gen Korean BBQ, Class 302, etc. I think this place has great quality ice cream but I don't know if I agree with the price. It's pretty steep for an ice cream shop. Go ahead and give it a try if you want to shell out the money for a novelty ice cream shop! read more

Creamistry - Coffee ice cream with Almonds! - Desserts Near Me - Cerritos, California

Super creamy ice-cream. It's probably the most expensive ice-cream I've ever had. The staff seems slow and new.... while they were working on the machine some ice-cream sprayed all over the customers in line. LOL. Nice concept and idea for creamy ice-cream, but overly expensive and inexperienced staff. read more

Love the concept & love the ice cream! But it is pretty pricey for the amount of ice cream they give to be honest. I could buy a whole gallon of ice cream for the same price. PS. The workers seemed miserable at this location! Recommendation: if you love Thai tea, you'll love their Thai here, SO GOOD!!! read more

stores should generally always be clean and take the proper precautions to be clean and sanitary but especially during this pandemic!!! i was so disgusted to almost finish my ice cream and find not one but TWO PIECES OF HAIR. i almost threw up, i wish i found the hairs in the beginning while i was eating but to know that there could have possibly been more that i didn't know about makes me sick to my stomach. read more

Creamistry - found 2 hairs towards finishing my ice cream.... - Desserts Near Me - Cerritos, California

I've been here before a year or so back and I use to love their cake batter ice cream but today the texture was off. As it melted it got kind of stringy gummy and the flavor was lighter than what I remembered . Plus I swear the cup or the size of scoops was smaller than before. Also my husband's ice cream was melted on the top the bottom he said was fine but why even hand it to him like that. I saw the guy making it struggling and he had to take time to wipe the cup because it was goopy. I just think their having alot of technical problems with their product. Idk if I'd be back since it is on the pricey side. read more

My first time visiting and I loved it! I ordered cookies and cream with coconut milk and cookie dough topping. The young lady working on Feb. 7th (roughly 3-3:30pm) was super sweet. I wish I remembered her name, but she knew it was my first time so I appreciated her patience. The ice cream itself was super creamy I could taste the coconut. Would come again. read more

Way over priced. 9.50 for mango ice cream with tahini and chamoy. I dont know why it's called a shake. I dont know what's the difference between a creation and ice cream menu. read more

Creamistry - 4 ice creams. 33.23 - Desserts Near Me - Cerritos, California

If you thought $5 for a scoop of ice cream is already a hefty price, this is not the place for you. Here, prices can range from about $7 to $10+ depending on your choice of size and toppings. Granted, Creamistry offers a delicious and extra creamy blend of your favorite ice cream made right in front of your eyes. I think majority of the hype is the liquid nitrogen process, but it is so darn mesmerizing to watch your ice cream made right in front of you! PARKING Creamistry is located next to a small pho place in the same plaza as Class 302, 85 Bakery and the Gen Korean BBQ! They have a pretty large parking lot, and parking was definitely not an issue during our visit. FLAVORS We ordered the cookies 'n creme with almonds, black sesame with red bean, and matcha with mochi. These choices were among their top picks and customized to our liking. Since it is their grand opening month you get a free topping with your order of ice cream. I believe each topping is $1 so that'd knock a dollar off your bill. We also received a free waffle cone with each order of a medium size cup. Their medium is definitely too much to handle for me! My cookies 'n creme was creamier than usual, which was surprisingly pleasant. The waffle cone was delicious as well but a little stale, probably from sitting out for a bit. Black sesame was light and fluffy and matcha tasted fresh and... real. We totaled about $32 for three medium size ice creams. Regardless, it was definitely worth the try! The art of liquid nitrogen delicious ice cream and friendly recommendations! read more

This is not your basic ice cream, this place is super duper scrumdiddlyumptious! I had no idea what to order because it was my first time here. I didn't even plan on stopping by but wanted something decadent to end my busy day. Paying my cell phone bill next doot, I got temper watching people having ice cream outside and made my way in. I didn't know what to order but a brownie with ice cream sounded just about right. I got the brownie with banana ice cream. I was told to have a seat and they would call me when it was ready..that means they took their time making it fresh..machines were working, must be a special technique cause it was absolutely fabulous. Probably the best ice cream I've ever had, it was delicious! Price for a medium brownie cup with ice cream was $12.00, no toppings just ice cream. Service was great! Store was clean All in all a fabulous treat! read more
