    This was a stop after dinner where we were looking for a sweet treat. I love the concept. I did just a scoop of the bourbon brown butter. So good!!! They have an option for all you can eat cereal which I think is so cute. The place is very cute with board games you can play as you sit. I don't go to this side of town much but I definitely plan to stop by here again when I am over their way.

    **The Cereal lab: A Deliciously Whirlwind Adventure with ice cream and cereal If you're looking for a place that takes your childhood breakfast dreams and your favorite dessert and turn them into a mouthwatering reality, then look no further than The Cereal Lab! I FINALLY had the chance to go to this magical cereal & creamery haven and ordered their banana pudding ice cream with Cinnamon Toast Crunch--Let. Me. Tell. You. Something....,WINNER Now, I tried to play it cool and keep my dignity intact by sticking to just one scoop. I thought I'd elegantly savor each bite. Ha! Who was I kidding? That first scoop vanished faster than a fresh press'n curl on a hot humid sunny day! So, in a moment of sheer snack rebellion, I went back for seconds Trust me, whether you're reliving nostalgia or just swinging by for a sweet treat, The Cereal Lab is a must-visit! Go ahead and bring your appetite--just don't act too cute like I did! You'll be doing the cereal lab cha-cha slide, right back for more in no time. ‍ #thecereallab #DeliciousTreats

    The best way to end a day of shopping is with some amazing dessert. The shop was fairly empty when we arrived, but the two employees were both busy preparing orders and still acknowledged us. We asked about parking and were assured as long as we parked in the deck behind the building we would be okay as it was for customers. There are some tables for seating and a few board games on a side table. A bar is also up against the wall for seating. I used the restroom and it was super clean. The entire space was really clean. The decor was too cute 3D pieces of cereal on the wall for a photo opp. One employee explained what we needed to choose from for our order and the other actually made the orders. They worked fast and we were both happy with what we chose. I had Cookie Crisp, coco pebbles, Oreo pieces and caramel drizzle in a waffle bowl. We will be back. My order was right at $10.

    Extremely delicious shake. Should have gotten a larger size but I was on the way to dinner. Highly recommend for events and birthday parties but also if you're just stopping in. Cashier was friendly and service was great.

    Amazing service. We were so welcomed when we arrived. I didn't catch her name, but one of the employees took the time to explain everything and made some recommendations. There are so so many options. Thank god they have a few premade combinations on the menu to help. I chose the Downtown Decatur with the Bourbon ice cream. My bf chose the Captain Pebbles with strawberry ice cream shake. Absolutely delicious, but small serving size for my ice cream bowl. I will say it's quite pricey. That makes this a once in a while treat vs. regular visitor for me. It's a fun space though, and great for families, dates, or friends. Parking was slightly confusing. They don't actually validate, though signs in the attached garage say they do. I think you just get 1 hour free, but that should be plenty of time.

    Can we here for a late night ice cream run and it did not disappoint. Service was good. I will say, making our order took some time. I couldn't imagine going on a busy day. I ordered the captain pebbles shake and MAN, was it so good! 10/10. My son went with a double scoop of banging banana, which he loved too. We didn't stay around and enjoy things there, but you can, as they have games and all. You can also make your drink a boozy edition, which could definitely add to your evening plans. The one thing I will say is that is a bit on the pricey side. My small shake was 8.50 and my son's double scoop ice cream was 10.50. Worth the price, but maybe not a weekly thing.

    To be honest, the place was amazing in my opinion! We went on a Sunday and the was really long, the line was all the way outside! But it was worth the wait!

    Ok hear me out, ice cream in the winter is a vibe! The service here was top tier and I loved seeing the different options they had. Superman is my all time favorite ice cream flavor and they actually had it so shout out to cereal lab! The decorations inside are so cute and match the aesthetic perfectly. I think it's definitely worth checking out if you're a cereal or ice cream lover like myself.

    The ice cream & cereal are amazing. They rotate ice cream flavors so be prepare for change. They didn't have butter pecan today but CoKo helped me choose another flavor. Now let's talk about the customer service. CoKo was AMAZINGBALLS!!!!! She had us laughing, making our children laugh (and they are teenagers so you know how hard that is), her smile was so warm and inviting. She went above and beyond but I'm sure this is not new for her. Again so personable and insightful. Ambiance is colorful & it makes you want to try all the flavors, cereal & toppings. A must try. This is my 2nd time here and it's now a family favorite.

    I first visited The Cereal Lab during a Yelp invite about a year ago and circled back over the weekend. When we walked in we were greeted and welcomed in. We took our time to order but the ice cream attendant was so patient and kind. She allowed us to ask questions and willing to provide suggestions. We needed up CYO and throughly enjoyed it. The shop is nicely decorated and it really opens your eyes to various types of cereal. There is free parking located not to far from the entrance of the shop, and street parking if you can find any. Cool spot, definitely give this place a try if you're looking for a sweet treat. Oooohhhhhh, they have liquor. So if you want a boozy treat, check them out!!!!

    A bowl or a cone, u can't go wrong!

    Didn't know what to expect. Ice cream PLUS all your favorite cereals . . . common cereal AND limited edition cereals. Make it your way. In a bowl. On a cone. With a brownie. We tried them all. Delicious!

    My friends and I came here after finishing our dinner nearby. There were 8 flavors of ice cream to pick from and plenty of toppings to include. Between the bourbon caramel and cappuccino flavors, I liked the flavor and texture of the bourbon one more as I found the cappuccino to be a bit gritty and not very prominent in taste. We saw they have huge uno cards (peep the pic) so we made ourselves comfortable and had a fun time. Staff were patient and kind serving our large group of 10 and seemed to have no issue with us rearranging (but returning) the layout of their space for a bit. I would come again to try more of their flavors and experiment with their toppings!

    Super cute ice cream shop! We tried ice cream and milkshakes both were so yummy. The young lady who helped us was so pleasant and kind and was very patient because we had 4 orders. She was great. The shop is so beautiful decorated. It's super clean. The parking is right next to shop for a small fee. I definitely recommend this shop of you are in the area. I will definitely be back soon.

    Love this little ice cream shop!…read more I've visited Butter & Cream before, but my latest visit was a favorite. After spending a sunny afternoon celebrating my besties birthday with her and a few of our girlfriends, we decided to keep the fun going with some ice cream. Never too old for a random sweet treat! Although we were already in the neighborhood, we lucked up on a day when everybody and their mama were outside, which meant limited parking. So we had to pay for parking on this visit, but ended up making it worthwhile by strolling around Decatur Square with our cones. I When we entered, there was one employee behind the counter and they were so kind. There were a few customers in front of us and some behind us in line, so apparently we weren't the only adults in the city who were craving a sweet treat. The store was so cute and covered in art and clocks created with ice cream scoops. We decided to taste a few flavors that were new to us and the employee was so patient with us. We all decided to go with the honeycomb flavor, and I added on a scoop of strawberry because I believe in treating myself. I was bummed that they didn't have sugar cones, but a waffle cone worked. My ice cream was SO good! And they were quite generous with the scoops. As I'm writing this out, I'm wanting a fresh pint of my own again. Such a great stop when you're craving something sweet!

I ordered the Cookie Monster with toffee cone bits on top. The texture of the ice cream was great, very smooth and creamy, which is exactly what you want. However, the flavor itself just did not come through. It almost tasted like a base without much depth. The only moments of real flavor were when I bit into the cookie pieces or the toffee bits, which were both enjoyable, but the ice cream on its own felt like it was missing something. It is a bit hard to describe because the consistency was there, but the taste simply did not match. That said, I am not writing Butter & Cream off at all. I have had other flavors here that were absolutely delicious, which is why I am willing to give this one another try. Overall, still one of my preferred ice cream spots in Decatur. I am just hoping for a little more flavor the next time I order the Cookie Monster.

She listened, helped me figure out what to order, and made sure I got exactly what I wanted. She made the experience pleasant from the start, and I even tipped because of how helpful she was. Unfortunately, the service went downhill from there. The woman who handed me my sundae gave it to me quickly and walked away without asking if I needed anything else. The cherry on top was falling off, but by the time I noticed, she was gone. As I sat enjoying my dessert, I noticed her interactions with other customers also felt rushed and short, almost as if she didn't want to be there. Each time she gave out an order, she immediately shut the window, which made the experience feel unwelcoming. The ice cream itself was good, and the cashier at the front deserves recognition for her excellent customer service. However, customer care is just as important as the product, and the way my sundae was handed off--and how others were treated--left me with a negative impression overall.
