    Delicious "Hokey Pokey" and Banana pint!
    Erin T.

    My first time trying this place after always seeing the long line hanging out the door. First, let me say my "Hokey Pokey" cup was excellent. It's not the product that has me making this poor review; It's the fact that they had ONE poor girl making this very labor-intensive ice cream! She has to push down a lever to swirl the ice cream with the fruit for each order AND THEN go take the next order!!! I mean I felt so bad for her that I almost wanted to get out of line and help her. I apologized to her saying "I'm sorry you don't have any help in here" she said it's ok - it's just that more people keep coming" with a look of exhaustion!! Please give this girl a big raise and everyone in line should be tipping her idc!!! Hire help Creamy boys, El Segundo!! You guys can afford it!!!

    I'm assuming that our coffee ice cream was atypical or there would not be so many good reviews. It was like eating a snow cone (crushed ice) mixed with some melting coffee ice cream. It was not creamy at all, just crunchy little chunks of ice. We were disappointed as it was nothing like our favorite New Zealand ice cream. The store is clean and adorable. Our server was friendly and polite. Sadly, it was not a good experience.

    Getting their ice cream truck at our office backyard and it's warm sunny day so perfect timing! Plenty of flavors to choose from, which was basically different mix-ins blended with the vanilla soft serve base. They did offer chocolate one. I went for the Hokey Pokey as I loved honeycomb and simply couldn't resist that crunchy toppings! The order's ready in a blink and there were several attendants serving at the same time so despite all of us tried to be there at similar time, we got our ice cream quickly! I love how it looked simple and not too much ingredients mixed yet it's simply palatable!

    New Zealand style soft serve located in the downtown El Segundo area. It has friendly service and a laid-back beach city vibe. I didn't know that there was a New Zealand style soft serve until recently, and to be honest I'm not sure if I fully still know, but it may have something to do with the way fresh fruit is folded into the ice cream I believe. I have been wanting to come here for a while. I happened to be in the area and went for it! The Hokey Pokey is the classic flavor for NZ, but I really wanted the banana. It was delicious and the ingredients were fresh and well folded in. This place is great and the ice cream here is such a treat. I'm a big fan.

    Love creamy boys. And usually all their flavors. But we had two orders of the seasonal flavor, coffee, and boy was it a major disappointment. There were chunks of ice all throughout and they said it was frozen ice with espresso. It tasted more like just ice balls. The chunks really are not representative of "creamy" and ruined the experience for us. The one star is simply for the disappointing flavor. We both had to dump it. If I was trying creamy boys for the first time, I honestly would not go back. It's the umpteenth time we have been and our first thumbs down. Thankfully, that flavor is going away soon.

    Creamy Boys definitely caught my attention as I was driving through El Segundo -- the bold font and that very... adult-ish name (lol) made me curious enough to pull over. I'm glad I did, because the place is genuinely good. Their New Zealand-style soft serve is silky, creamy, and different in the best way. They've got two locations in El Segundo and one in Hermosa Beach, and the shop itself has a simple, clean, comfortable vibe. Matthew was running the front on his own when we visited, and he delivered amazing service. Friendly, welcoming, and he took the time to explain the theme behind Creamy Boys and how the ice cream is made. He gave great recommendations too -- I don't like overly sweet ice cream, so I went with the Mixed Berry, and it hit perfectly. My sister, who has a real sweet tooth, got the honeycomb ice cream with caramel drizzle and toffee and was smiling from ear to ear. What meant the most, though, was a moment I didn't even see happen. My niece has a fractured fibula from taekwondo and is currently on crutches. After I went to get the car for her, she came out beaming, telling me that Matthew had approached her to ask how she was doing and what happened to her leg. That small moment of compassion stayed with her -- and with me. We need more places where hospitality feels human, genuine, and heartfelt like that. Prices are fair (a regular was $8 and packed), the ice cream is delicious, and the service is the kind that wins loyalty. I even grabbed one of their shirts with the skeleton graphic -- can't wait to wear it on my hikes. Thank you, Matthew, for the kindness and the smile. You've definitely earned some loyal fans here. Looking forward to coming back.

    Friendly. Good location. Nice staff. I recommend the coffee flavor, feels like coffee.

    What can I say? I'm in a New Zealand state of mind! Murphy the Doodle and I stopped in El Segundo today for some pizza and to try Creamy Boys. I'm so glad that we did! I love this creamy New Zealand ice cream with fruit mix ins and the honeycomb topping. I had the Fresh Banana and, of course, the honeycomb topping and both of us agreed that this was outstanding ice cream. The banana vibe was real! The store is small, clean. and happy and as I sat there, more and more people came in. I will definitely be back to try more of the delicious flavors.

    Honestly, this place is really good. I've been here a few times now, including the Hermosa Beach location, and the quality has always been solid. My only complaint is that the serving sizes seem pretty inconsistent. From reviews and videos I've seen, some people get huge portions, while the times I've gone, the servings have felt mediocre. Maybe I'm being a little greedy, but it's something worth noting--especially when the largest size is around $8 before you get into the pint options. Overall, I'd still come back, but I wish the portion sizes were a little more consistent.

    There is absolutely no ice cream place that tops Creamy Boys. I'm obsessed!! I have no clue what they do to make it taste so good, but it's just on another level. The hokey pokey flavor is amazing, and today I got to try their limited time thin mint flavor and it was also incredible. My go-to when I'm in the area.

    Wooowww I LOVE the Hokey Pokey ice cream !! The creaminess was perfect and the toffee infusion into the vanilla + on top was just an amazing combination. One of the best ice creams I've had, and I'll definitely come back again :) The service was lovely, and they really packed in the ice cream. All of my friends also really liked eating it! I do have a sweet tooth, so for someone who does not, they have other flavors that might be more to your liking. I wish they do two flavors in one cup, but I understand why they couldn't do that. I'll be back and hopefully I'll try more flavors, but I think I'll still end up craving the Hokey Pokey flavor :) The interior was cute and it was very nice to eat ice cream in store. Parking was no issue either. Thank you!

    I ate this ice cream and all I got was this stupid bumper sticker (it was very funny and the ice cream was epic). Get the hokey pokey, don't question it.

    We got small cups and it was the perfect sweet treat after dinner. Their soft serve is super smooth and the perfect sweetness. Next time I would want to get the Banana with honeycomb! ig: @cravingswithcat

    I'm glad this place was not all hype. We went a little out of our way to try it. It was pretty late…read moreand there were still people showing up so thought this was a good sign. When I asked what the cashier thought about a couple of the flavors I appreciated her honesty. I ended up liking the coconut chocoate chip ice cream. The graham on was also really good and had great texture (reminded me of chocolate malted crunch in a way IYKYK). My son tried mint chocolate chip and mud chocolate and he liked both. The portions are hearty! It was so good I'm amazed I actually almost ate the entire thing and this was following a filling dinner. I want to go back for another one! I just saw there is one in Manhattan Beach. Yay! Parking: Large private lot for the shopping center. Decent spots. Not too big, not too small.

    I come to this location all the time but never really pay attention to the pricing…read more The other day, I asked the girl at the counter if the small is the smallest size they have and she told me that there is a scoop that is at $2.50. I think, great since my elderly Dad is diabetic and shouldn't have a lot of ice cream, so I went with that but in a waffle cone, she said that would be $3.50. I said that's fine, I will have one in flavor A and the other one in flavor B, total came to $7.35 And I asked her to put the ice cream cone in a cup, so it would be easier for him to eat in the car as it was extremely hot that day, and I don't want it to drip all over the car. When she gave me the ice cream, it was both flavor in one cone. I told her I wanted 2 separate cone instead of all in one. And then she said it would be another $7, I was in a hurry, so didn't really put too much thoughts into it, and just charge it. So now I look at my charges, so it turns out the same serving, one is at $7.35 and the other is $7. When I get the ice cream, I asked her, so there nothing that is smaller than this. She said there is, but not in a waffle cone, it will be extra with a waffle cone. So I asked $2.50 in a regular cone and additional $3.50 for the waffle cone? She said yes!! I am still confused as to whether they have a smaller serving than small and how much it is. I check on the pricing people posted here and don't see a $2.50/$3.50 smaller size showing. It remains a mystery to me, and I really wanted to know as it will be a hot summer, both my elderly parents, who are diabetic, would probably asked for ice cream, and I really don't want them to have a small each on their own, since it is still a decent size and they don't like the same flavor, so they can't really share a small one.
