CRM is a small scale franchise that started in Berkeley, Ca since 2010. ueh! ueh! So I found this place on foot one day; I was waiting for an appointment and wondered what is up with this place. SMALL-ISH. The front person was totally okay with me asking questions about their ice cream and food. N-O-I-C-E. What does that spell??? Nice. I tried a couple of spoon samples and landed on a mocha fudge espresso, p-nut butter almond topped cookie sandwich. The sweet sugar flavor of the p-nut butter cookie mesh with the sweet coffee espresso topped ice cream sandwich insides. I-was-so-happy-with-my-ice-cream! All in all a good place to grab and go as they have no tables at all here. Herup! Enso#109 CRM#885 Yr: 51 + Tacos/Cones Shakes/Hot drinks Samples/pints to go - For ALL you San Jose Divas (MEN AND WOMEN), they have no parking nearby. Learn how to pay for parking, lyft to the area or just walk it. CALM DOWN. (8_*) OOf! Lots of sugar and calories plan appropriately _Can't wait for the next one Enso!! read more

Variety of options to choose from, ice cream and cookie sandwich, ice cream in two different cones, ice cream shake. The staff was nice enough to put a cherry on top of an ice cream scoop per my child's request. I tried the strawberry ice cream and tbh it was a really good flavor. I got rocky road ice cream and it was loaded with mini marshmallows and super tasty. Would definitely recommend this place. read more

CREAM - Strawberry ice cream and rocky road ice cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - San Jose, California

Situated in the heart of DTSJ, so street parking is tricky! It's a lot easier to park at a nearby garage and just walk over. This place is more of where people go to get their quick fix of ice cream when they're in the area. Great that they're open until midnight on the weekendsss. Good way to end the night of bar hopping with friends. I never had an issue with wait times or the quality of their ice cream. The flavors are pretty simple but if it's 11pm and you're in downtown, its a good place to satisfy that sweet tooth. Also if you're at CREAM, should get the cookie ice cream sando. read more

I got a cookie sandwich and it was pretty good! The cookies were strong enough to stand up to the ice cream but too hard to bite through as a sandwich. It was served in a paper bag and it made it very hard to eat. I used a spoon for most of it. However the cookies themselves were really delicious and the ice cream was pretty good too! My partner got a brownie sundae and it was really really good. They had fun toppings for sundaes and lots of cookies/icecream options. We also noticed they had a cookie/icecream sandwich cake that looks so fun for birthdays! It seems to be pretty big, like pizza sized. Keeping in mind for our next party! read more

The ice cream here is very creamy and perfectly sweet. We had French vanilla, soy milk mint chocolate chips cookie sandwich, and very berry strawberry on waffle cone. They were all very good. We were lucky to come in before a crowd of people lined up behind us. The shop only allowed in 1 group at a time which was great. It's a small shop and they had a sign at the front requiring patrons to mask up before entering. Definitely would grab some ice cream the next time we are around. Though, the weird thing was 1 of the employees didn't have a mask on. read more

Head over heels in love with their stupidly soft, oooey gooey, melt in my mouth not my hands brownie. Bar none, the best brownie I've had. Shout out to Julian for recommending it. Love coming in when he's around. Always makes sure to point out new ice cream flavors. I like to pair it with vanilla ice cream. Yes, I'm pretty vanilla when it comes to my pairings ‍ also at the age where too much sugar in one sitting makes my stomach hurt so this basic pairing is a dessert compromise The brownie sandwich is not proportional. You'll have more brownie than ice cream. It's only now occurred to me that I could pay to get a scoop and a half as two full scoops would then make it more ice cream than brownie. I digress I recommend eating it right away. If you let it sit, the brownie around the ice cream will harden and thus eliminate the luster of its championed softness. I also highly recommend calling ahead to make sure they have whatever it is you are going for. I've had many a sad day after coming here for a specific thing and being told they are out or haven't had their shipment of that item come in yet. Or just mentally prepare to have to rethink your order They are only letting one MASKED group in at a time. The shop itself is tiny so the line does seem longer than it is. Shop is in downtown so parking is terrible. But don't let that stop you from enjoying a treat after a work day! Highly recommend coming after 6pm to avoid having to pay the meters read more

Can I say the most epic ice cream sandwich ever! Dying and getting fat from this place ! The best part of going back to the Bay Area is you can get almost everything delivered! It will cost you around 4$ each time but it's so worth it. They have freshly made ice cream sandwiches with freshly baked cookies that are epic. The classic chocolate chip with vanilla ice cream is amazing. The next favorite would be the sugar cookie with the strawberry ice cream, insane...There are 4 different sandwiches you can choose from and they do sell the ice cream by the pint which is nice too. My only recommendation for this place would be to let customers design their own designer sandwich. read more

Oh man, years ago this place use to be the SPOT! Hip hop playing, employees happy to serve you, it was poppin at night. Now, the workers are like bleh, the ice cream taste old, it doesn't have that you hip vibe feel. Just sad how it's changed.. read more

Had walked by this dessert place many times during our outing in Downtown San Jose, and decided to stop by to finally try it out. I decided on an ice cream sandwich, two chocolate chip cookies with cookies and cream ice cream in between. Pretty delicious and more than satisfies my sweet tooth. There can be a long line during the busy Friday and Saturday night bar crawling. But definitely worth the wait. read more

Ice cream was good. The selection was small but my strawberry flavor was tasty. It's a little expensive but makes a nice occasional treat.

Kept it pretty basic but I love that they let your build your own ice cream sandwich. You pick your ice cream and cookies, and they warm up your cookies so that they're fresh for you. Pretty good idea for a shop read more

CREAM - Birthday cake ice cream sandwich on chocolate chip cookies - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - San Jose, California

Great options of flavored ice-cream and cookies! Location is in downtown SJ where it can be hard to find parking. It's a little shop on the corner of the block. They serve cold drinks and other pastries. It did not seem to be something I'd go to get regularly like my fave pearl drinks. I guess if you are looking for an ice cream sandwich you can go here. Loud rap music was also playing which did not fit well for the place. Just my two cents. read more

So delicious! I can't believe I put off coming here for so long. I had the French vanilla ice cream in a double chocolate chip cookie with caramel sprinkles. It was extremely tasty. Our server was nice and friendly and the service was pretty fast. I'm not a huge fan of ice cream sandwiches but this was very worth it. I definitely recommend here! read more

CREAM - French vanilla ice cream in double chocolate chip cookie with caramel sprinkles - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - San Jose, California

Overall good quality ice cream. We sampled a bunch of flavors to start and settled on the pistachio. It was subtle but very flavorful with the taste and intensity increasing as you ate more. The service was great but we showed up early so there was no one else in the store. Good choice for dessert. read more

I love ice creams and with cookie its like heaven. They serve cookies little warm, which makes it more softer. The ice creams are also good and we can customize it however we like. They are opened late nights on weekends.They also have pies now, serving ice cream on pies.They have only 2 tables on street side. They also give cookies separately, if you don't want to eat it with ice cream. read more

An ice cream cookie sandwich at CREAM is a downtown treat. In Berkeley, this was affordable and thus a staple of my diet. Though, I think they've gone a bit overboard with the possible options and, as a result, have moved away from the once-important ingredient of quality. Still, I find myself here occasionally sandwiched between whether I should indulge or not. And it's often the latter with which I side--normally cookie dough sandwiches by chocolate chip or white chocolate macadamia cookies, or both. read more

Horrible service, horrible communication. Was wanting a nice ice cream before my flight home. However when we got in they had 4 ice creams left. All flavors nobody wants. But we waited in line for 30 min to for nothing. Really wish they would've posted on the window outside they were out of ice creams so we didn't have to wait. Secondly I wanted to get out cookies warmed up at least. However they said no, that the oven was full. Not sure how that's possible when we saw them heat up the cookies for family just before us. All in all not a great experience. read more

I'm not a big cheese cake fan but one of my favorite ice cream flavor was from Hag*** they had a limited edition strawberry cheese cake that was heaven. So I wanted a shake and yes I am lactose intolerant. You only live once so I chose as my flavor shake Blueberry cheese cake shake I used soy mike instead of whole milk so it wasn't that bad on my stomach. I really enjoyed this shake. The berry and they bits of cheese cake. Although they kinda of lingered toward the bottom of my cup. I enjoyed every slurp. Very satisfying. read more

Freshly made ice cream cookies are fantastic. They make them right in front of you. Staff are polite. Shop seems a little run down, but still worth a visit, especially on a warm summer day or night! read more

I found this "Gem" of a Modern Ice Cream Shop while venturing out in Downtown San Jose. I couldn't decide between a Milk Shake or an Ice cream Sundae...they were out of milk so I ordered a Strawberry & Cookies & Cream Ice Cream Sundae with whipped cream (a lot) and don't forget the Cherry on top!!! CREAM's Ice Cream Sundaes also came with a chocolate brownie that puts their Ice Cream Sundaes tasting like something out of this world! Now I want to go back to CREAM and partake in one of their Milkshake!!! Job well done! read more

One of my go to spots for something sweet while I'm out drinking. They have a fairly good selection on their cookies and ice cream. If you are lactose intolerant, they have offer one flavor in case you do crave some ice cream as well. read more

I was visiting a friend and she recommended coming here for dessert... so glad she did! It was so delicious! I loved that you get to pick out which cookies to build your ice cream sandwich with--and that you could choose two different cookies :) I did the build your own sandwich with their chocolate chip and double chocolate chip cookies, mint chocolate ice cream and rainbow sprinkles. Very happy with it all, especially as they made sure the cookies were heated and warmed up. The space here is small, so try and come by during off-peak hours. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. There isn't an area to sit inside, but there's some outside seating available. Overall, the ice cream sandwiches here are delicious and made fresh-to-order. Makes me think, why isn't Cream back in upstate NY??? Till then, I'll just keep hoping they'll expand out to the northeast :) read more

CREAM - Yummmm make your own ice cream sandwich - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - San Jose, California

We were driving to Monterey and we decided to stop for a quick sweet treat. It was ice cream sandwiched in between two cookies. What could be better? I chose mini sugar cookies with strawberry ice cream and rolled in fruity pebbles. My boyfriend got the Salted Carmel cookies with blueberry cheese cake ice cream and topped with Heath. It was very reasonably priced and I got full just fine off of the mini cookies. I would definitely come back here if ever in the area again. read more

Love that we have a CREAM location in San Jose and that it makes for a perfect pit stop when bar hopping or strolling through DTSJ. A small corner shop with a designated patio outside on 1st street. Got a ice cream cookie sandwich, Snickerdoodle and White Chocolate Macadamia with Blueberry Cheesecake. Delicious ice cream and liked the flavor and texture of the Snickerdoodle, but found the White Chocolate Macadamia cookie to be too hard and brittle. An ice cream sandwich is good enough to share and can be a bit messy, grab those napkins! However, the ice cream sandwiches are well worth the price. They also offer different bases to hold your ice cream together, such as Brownies, Waffle, Do'Sants and even have GF and Vegan cookies. As for ice cream, they have seasonal flavors and Vegan options (soy) available. Service is nice and quick, did not have to wait long and like they have fivestars for rewards. One of my go-to places for good ice cream sandwiches! read more

Nope! I ordered through Uber eats a few days ago. I will say that will not happen again. The cookies were stale. All of them. This is the second time in 5 months that I have ordered from Cream. Unfortunately, enough time had gone by that I forgot. This time I will remember not to ever patronize Cream again. In short, twice ordered, never again. I will also add there is major competition in the area near Cream. Shout out to Insomnia Cookies !! read more

My bad for underestimating CREAM before. When I first saw the photos posted by Yelpers, I thought to myself, "Ok, just ice cream sandwiches. What's the big deal." Was I wrong! Normally, I don't go downtown because of its lousy parking situation but this time, I was here for the SJ Jazz Festival and happened to walk by CREAM. My sweet tooth nudged me to step inside...just to have a look which conveniently led to buying one to taste. It's a 3-step ordering process: choose your cookies, ice cream, and toppings. Simple! There were close to a dozen flavors of cookies to choose from. I picked the classic Chocolate Chip and the White Chocolate Macadamia. The cookies were big and chewy. I would be happy with just these roundies alone. But wait. There was still the middle layer of Very Berry Strawberry ice cream and my beloved Nutella topping in between. The ice cream by itself didn't really stand out but all three components together made the whole ensemble irresistible. It totally hit the spot on this warm day! I know this looks like an easy DIY treat but let's be honest, when you have a sudden craving, do you really want to wait for the whole process of baking and cooling the cookies and get the ice cream ready? I want it now :) There was a line at the store but it was moving. The workers stayed pleasant and patient. I didn't feel rushed. If there's anything I should whine about, it would be the small size of the scoop of ice cream which also started to melt quickly, although they were generous with my topping. I wish the shop were more accessible by car as well as larger in space. There was no seat available for me to relax and enjoy the dessert comfortably. Eating these ice cream sandwiches can get messy. read more

I've paid C.R.E.A.M a visit many times and didn't realize that it's an acronym for "Cookies Rule Everything Around Me." I realized that when I looked up and read the little words below the sign CREAM while eating my loot at the after, after party post YEE just a couple of days ago. What a duh moment. Lol! Well it's a great place to sooth your hot to warm body in downtown San Jose. I think it makes perfect sense! I usually avoid the cookies and just order a scoop of ice cream. It's not bad but I prefer my Mexican ice cream anytime. To me the name doesn't represent creaminess in its ice cream consistency at all. Of which I prefer. But their single scoop is big. Therefore filling. But they do have great combos of any cookies you want with your ice cream. Chocolate cookie with a lighter cookie ice cream sandwich anyone? How about a half cookie sandwich instead of the full inner fatty craving? Yes they offer that! The staff are always super nice. Patient and knowledgeable. Parking is a nightmare unless you just give in and park in the garage next door. Always a party atmosphere in this very area! It's contagious! read more

I've observed many raving reviews of Cream for the longest time, but each time I was in the vicinity of the Palo Alto location, the line originating a block away from the entrance was discouraging at best. So after a few lost chances, I gave up until the new location in San Jose opened. The lines here are shorter and at times lacking. Waiting in line, the build up is grand but also very disappointing at the same time. Once inside, you have few seconds to make a choice, as the chaos and sheer quantity of customers gives you the feeling that you are stalling the whole factory like process of ordering, paying and exiting. I don't understand why they chose to occupy such a cluster-phobic place. Once you get your ice cream sandwich, with the first bite the whole chaotic process is a distant memory. I had the macadamia nut cookie with coconut ice cream and shredded coconut; it was a delicious combination. The cookies are perfect, not to hard or soft, so the sandwich is easily consumed without the potential mess if the cookie has the wrong consistency. The ice cream alone was smooth and soft with subtle sweetness. The marriage of the two was meant to be like Janet O. and I, and forever it shall last. I plan on going back to try their tacos as well. read more

I'm definitely going to sound like an asshole in this review but I'm OK w/ that; I am an avid baker and I can recognize decent, great, and mediocre when it comes to desserts. I'm also a chocolate-a-holic. Whilst service was rather upbeat and friendly, they got my order wrong. Since there wasn't a huge price increase, I decided to let it go. I originally wanted a half sandwich (one for Gavin and one for myself) but the girl that helped me was either deaf or wasn't paying attention. I know I spoke loud enough. Cookies were chewy but had no taste to them. It certainly wasn't chocolaty and it felt as though the Nestle cookies baked at Subway would have been a better fit. I like my ice cream rich, sweet, and smooth. Sadly, my selection had none of those elements. The best thing was the price. read more

Alright, I remember when they only place I could find a CREAM at was Berkeley. Well, not not anymore. These guys are everywhere. You might not even realize there is one right behind you, before it's too late! It's an ice cream spot and what makes them unique is that they will make an ice cream sandwich with two freshly baked delicious cookies for $2.99! Yup, you heard me right. The best part? It's actually really good! I'm talking smacking your lips in bliss good. They said it couldn't be done, but they did it, and they did it well. I had the strawberry ice cream as my selection today, and yes it was great. Overall, if you have a sweet tooth, this is the place to visit. read more

CREAM - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - San Jose, California

A smaller location compared to other CREAM locations I've been to. This place always seems to be packed because it's such a small storefront. This place stands out because it always has my favorite ice cream, coconut (not coconut-pineapple, just plain coconut). I like to pair it with the red velvet cookies! The cookies are always hot here when I visit, where other locations they tend to be room temp. Sometimes when I don't want my ice cream to melt too quickly from the hot cookies I ask for them on the side. They have five stars here but there's a minimum! Favorite ice cream sandwich pairings: -Coconut ice cream with red velvet cookies -Cinnamon swirl ice cream with snickerdoodles read more

I got really lucky because I didn't have to wait in line! Took my son over here after we had dinner at Billy Berks. I was praying there wouldn't be a long line when we got there and I guess my prayers were answer. Nobody was in line! There was two other ladies and that was all, the 4 of us had the place to ourselves. Of course people started coming in after we left! My little human got strawberry with chocolate chip cookies. He killed the sandwich within minutes! I'm very happy that they decided to come to San Jose but they could've picked a better location and a bigger spot at that. There was more than a few sketchy people that were hanging out right by and it made me nervous to walk down that street. So we got our ice cream and quickly got our butt back to a "safer" area. Friendly staff, good ice cream, didn't have to wait in line, a happy son, and a happy mom. So my experience there that day was good! read more
