    Strawberry cheesecake
    Jess B.

    Stopped by Cream after walking around and tried the strawberry cheesecake ice cream. It was really good. It was creamy, not too sweet, and the strawberry flavor came through nicely. Simple, solid dessert spot.

    Soy Mint Chip

    Oh my gosh, the nostalgia! CREAM opened in Berkeley in 2010, when I was in elementary school. I have so many fond memories of growing up and coming here with my friends and family. As a kid, this was the best place to be--ice cream and cookies all in one. As an adult now, the desire is much less and I haven't stepped foot in quite some time. After dinner with my family, dessert was on our minds so I suggested CREAM! We came on a weekday and it wasn't busy. I've noticed depending on the time and day wait times can vary. The shop is humble and small, with enough space to stand but no areas to sit. Inside you can see all the ice cream and cookie flavors plus the menu of various dessert concoctions. My family did the ordering and the service was speedy. Unfortunately, I don't have dairy anymore but thankfully CREAM has vegan (and gluten-free) options! I ended up getting a scoop of the Soy Mint Chip. Honestly, this wasn't good. It was super duper minty, like the artificial mint taste. Mint and chip is my favorite ice cream flavor but I could barely handle theirs. The consistency was quite chalky and icy as well, which is disappointing as many dairy-free ice creams can still be rich and creamy. I also got a White Chocolate Macadamia Cookie. This was so sweet and sugary, I couldn't eat it all. I feel like the sugar and sweetness levels have gone up here and the quality down. I'm torn because CREAM is such an iconic spot but it isn't what it used to be. If you go to Cal it's worth a visit once but not a place I'd go out of my way for! Regardless, it's a staple and easy to find on the corner of Telegraph Ave. Parking is street or in nearby garages.

    I'm a hot cookie oh yeah

    After a wonderful day out with my family, my daughter suggested going to cream as we have done in the past because we can trust finest ingredients. Best flavors, and I put my ice cream between a couple warm cookies oh my gosh. They have a great selection of flavors and a big selection of cookies and I would suggest this Berkeley location to enjoy something sweet on any day hot or cold.

    Parking is definitely going to be a challenge. We got vanilla ice cream and brownie shake. We loved both and customer service was good. Place was organized.

    Birthday cake cookie
    Bella F.

    The birthday cake cookie was amazing. So many sprinkles and it was nice and warm. Didn't feel like having ice cream but tried a sample and it tasted good too. Would go back

    Grand daughter and myself hanging out. She had Vanilla Ice cream and I had macadamia and caramel swirl  cookie. Yum

    I haven't been here in a while. It was still good. I think they raised the prices a little bit, but I'd come back. Server was nice. Change her gloves after using cash register I appreciate that.

    Employees looked like college kids, which makes sense. They were nice enough. Probably ready to go home. I ordered an ice cream sandwich, as one does here. The cookies were hard, and the ice cream was super soft. So every time you take a bite, the ice cream squishes out. The churro ice cream is delightful. But I would probably just order it on its own next time. Shop is cute, I honestly don't remember if there was anywhere to sit. But we just got our order to go anyway. I might return. But won't go out of my way to do so.

    Banana Walnut Fudge on the right.
    Angela W.

    The sweet treat spot. First impressions: limited seating inside, but not super busy when I went on a Wednesday at 5pm. I got a single scoop of Banana Walnut Fudge, and it was pretty good! Definitely sweet...I think a single scoop was just enough to not leave me feeling icky after consuming too much sugar, but two scoops probably would've done it. I really enjoyed the flavor though - didn't have that artificial banana flavor, more like banana bread plus some fudge and walnut chunks. I had a gift card for CREAM, so I used it here with no issue. But I do remember it being pretty pricey...around $5-6 for one scoop if I remember correctly. If I didn't have a gift card, not sure I would stop by. I typically don't frequent sweet-tooth-sugar dessert spots other than rare occasions, and I think CREAM is that type of place for me.

    I love CREAM! Whenever im in the mood for ice cream, this is my go to. I usually opt for a double scoop and get the birthday cake flavor + something else. This time I did birthday cake and cookies n cream. The ice cream is very creamy and flavorful. I enjoy the mix ins in both of these flavors, especially the sprinkles in the birthday cake flavor. There isn't usually a line (unless it's a hot day) but regardless, you can get through pretty quickly. The inside of the shop is pretty cozy, but they do offer a few seats. I highly recommend checking it out!

    I first started coming to this location almost 12 years ago as a freshman. Back then, the line would stretch down the block and an ice cream sandwich cost $2. Since then, there are more locations around the Bay Area and the price for the sandwich has tripled. I still enjoy getting their ice cream sandwiches whenever I'm in town. Coming back to CREAM always reminds me of those late nights when I'd stop by with my friends, or grab one to go on my way to the library. They have a large menu, but I always stick with the ice cream sandwich. The chocolate chip cookies are good. In my opinion, the ice cream is just okay. I recently tried the strawberry ice cream and it tasted a little icy. Overall, I recommend trying this spot at least once if you're in the area.

    This was a favorite late night hangout many years ago with my friends - cookies and ice cream are some of my go-to desserts and thought it was a genius business idea. In the past, this place was super popular and lines were around the block. Currently, there are several locations around the bay, which helped with a better distribution of the fans and hopefully shorter lines! I would mix and match different cookie and ice cream flavors but some favorites were classic chocolate chip with vanilla or mint chocolate chip ice cream. The cookies were hit or miss with the baking consistency - sometimes they were warm/soft (how I liked them) but there were times when they were a bit over-baked and hard. Prices were decent but have since gotten more expensive. CREAM will always be a special place for me with nostalgic sweet memories!

    Many options and a great way to cool off! Perfect way to satisfy my sweet tooth It's in an area with many restaurants so perfect place for a dessert after dinner Everyone working is also super nice!

    Are there any sugar-free choices (cookies, ice cream, or (ideally) both)? My company is getting items from CREAM for a party this week, and I'm hoping there's something diabetic-friendly.

    I don't think there is any sugar free at the moment they have low sugar with the dairy free options but that was it. You have to tell them ahead of time to make some of the cookies sugar free.

Without sampling the Meyer Lemon bc the worker recommended this, I just chose it. The Meyer Lemon was refreshing & had a creamy texture. It was perfect with the fresh waffle cone. I'm ready to try more flavors the next time I stop by.
