I attempt to be vegan sometimes because I want to feel healthier. However, a lot of vegan food is bland or too healthy (like sometimes I want ice cream and not some açaí bowl). What I like about creamistry is that you can basically make any ice cream base vegan. Since they use the liquid nitrogen thing, you can have ice cream that tastes pretty close to the real thing. Two thumbs up. It's a tiny place with like only 5 tables, but it's cool to watch the liquid nitrogen process, especially for little ones who get excited by the excess gas flowing out and making it seem like they have smoke machines on their ice cream machines. Lots of options for flavors and toppings, so you'll find something for everyone here, including those croffles (waffle ice cream, but I have not tried nor have seen anyone else try). It's a bit pricey, but you pay for the experience. I've paid more for a lot more mediocre ice cream (that wasn't vegan) so ultimately I think this is a good place. TLDR; vegans rejoice--we have ice cream! read more

I was about 30 mins early for our 6 pm dinner reservation with friends, so I decided to check this place out and get some pre-dinner dessert. They served ice cream that's frozen with liquid nitrogen. I got a regular order of their sea salt caramel crunch. I don't have much of a sweet tooth, but salted caramel is one of my favorite flavors. The portion size was just right and it was good! read more

My husband and I came on a Sunday thinking we can kill some time before we head out of Gilbert. Unfortunately, we did not get a chance to even taste the $14 ice cream we bought. This is nothing against the employee that was working a solo shift on a warm day, however she was not only behind on several orders (including online orders) but she couldn't even issue a refund to us as we waited 30 minutes already and had to leave soon. What was the store manager/owner thinking? By the time we realized she hadn't even started on the orders for the people already sitting at the tables, we started to doubt if we were going to get our ice cream in time. For what it is, the ice cream was very pricey for a regular (small) size. Basically I spent about $14 to just waste our time. The ambiance is nothing special and the tables/seats were not clean. Overall, I will most likely not come back to try this place. I would not recommend coming here unless you have a low standard for customer service and a lot of time to waste... read more

i walked in well over an hour before they closed and she said "no we are closed" in the NASTIEST tone. I proceeded to say "i thought you closed at 10?" she replies "its just today." and LAUGHED in my face. i love the ice cream dont get me wrong but closing an hour and a half before you are supposed to is insane. read more

My fiancé & I have been to Creamistry multiple times! It is a bit of a drive for us, but their Nitrogen ice cream is delicious. My personal favorite is the ele-mint ice cream with a coconut base. They offer a selection of flavors, three milk bases (premium/milk, coconut, or cashew), and several topping options. The staff prepares the ice cream in their "show" mixers where they pipe in the liquid Nitrogen to freeze the ice cream! It is a cute little business that adds to the atmosphere of downtown Gilbert. read more

I have celiac disease and I brought my kids. they got their ice cream and loved it. I had a question on one of the scoops they used and whether or not it was gluten free. They not only remade it for me, but they refunded my order. Excellent customer service. 10/10. Definitely coming back. read more

They used to be good. Based on tonight, quality has gone WAY down hill and have started skimping on toppings. Requested a peanut butter ice cream. They charge extra to add PB sauce to vanilla ice cream, the cheapest ice cream to get but same price as others. Now I buy liquid PB in giant tubs on Amazon for $7, so that extra $1 should get you a decent amount of sauce. There was not even enough used for it to taste even a little bit like peanut butter. The texture of the actual ice cream was also something off. It did not taste good at all. I ate 1/3 and threw threat away. My daughter got the S'mores one, and she threw half that away because it was making her sick abc did not taste good. They also made one of them with no line waiting before we even finished paying. Isn't your hype that you make it in front of the guest? For $10 per small cup, you need to do better. This was my birthday treat and it was a complete waste of $25. read more

Amazing customer service! Best ice cream I have ever tasted. Very fresh, thick, and creamy.

Came to this place for my daughter's birthday and had $100 bill. They didn't have change so they put the whole order on the house per the manager strongly recommend. Great product and obviously awesome hospitality. I want to personally thank the whole team for making my daughter first experience a great experience! We will be back with a card . Thank you Creamistry Crew! read more

The ice cream is good, but it's expensive and you'll be waiting ages to even get your ice cream since the line is always out the door and the service is unbearably slow. I would come more often if it wasn't so slow and crowded. It's not even enjoyable to sit at one of the tables with the amount of people in line constantly. read more

The service is very poor. Long wait time and you pay for a premium good but you get horrible service with it. The bathroom was in disgusting condition which probably reflects on the state of their kitchen as well. There was hand soap or paper towels and the floor was very dirty. When this was brought to their attention they got angry and closed the bathroom and basically kicked us out and told us to go to a different restaurant to use their bathroom even tho we're not customers at any other place other than theirs very rude and definitely will not be returning. There are many other ice cream places up and down Gilbert road in downtown do not go to this one. Waste of money. read more

I want to like this so much more because they have so many dairy free options! Located downtown you can grab regular ice-cream in a variety of flavors or do the same flavors with a non dairy base of cashew or coconut ice-cream. The flavor list was quite long and included some fun things like fruity pebbles, salted Carmel, birth cake, and more. You can do a regular cup or cone of get it with a variety of mixtures. THe price is quite a lot at around 8 or 9 dollars for a cup. I wish they offered a small size of just a small scoop. It was disappointing that for the mixins it wasnt clear what was dairy free and what was gluten free. I asked if the mix ins would be dairy free and the worker said yes, but they actually werent. No dairy free whip cream, chocolate, etc. Its okay to not have a dairy free version but dont tell me all mixins are dairy free when I am trying to decide on an order. We were also informed the coconut base was super strong and overpowered the other flavors, why offer other flavors then at all? We opted for the unicorn mixture with a birthday cake iceream and a cashew base with no whipcream. It wasnt anything special and just tasted a bit odd. Would love if you can share exactly what is dairy free and gluten free otherwise its a bit concerning to come back and give it a second try. read more

We come all the way from Canada for this and we eat it everyday. Its so good! The texture is insanely yummy. Can't wait to come back and go again read more

Creamistry in downtown Gilbert just looks SO cool from the outside. I don't know if it was the super clean look or the MASSIVE nitrogen tank that drew us inside, but it worked! My bf and I were immediately greeted when we walked into Creamistry. We had never been here before so we needed some time to look at the menu. You pick a base (dairy, vegan, or water-based for sorbets), flavor, and toppings/upgrades. There are almost too many choices! Though, they do have some set menu items if you would prefer to pick out some. I went with a vegan-based, mint-flavored, chocolate fudge-sauced ice cream. It was really fun watching it be iced down in the big mixing containers. My bf got a dairy-based, Sea Salt Caramel-flavored ice cream, with Strawberry Sundae sauce. He enjoyed his! The vegan-based is not your normal scooped, soft serve, or rolled textured ice cream. It has a super-rich mouth feel and is, I would say, in between traditional texture and soft serve. I found it slightly weird but the mint flavor was great! My bf said his was normal texture and he loved it! I know my bf felt the same way. It was fun to try and most kiddos who came in after us seemed to really love the ice cream. Definitely, a fun place to bring the family/children to watch the nitrogen do its thing. 8/10 recommend read more

Last night was the first time we tried this place and it will be our last. It is not because of the staff, they were friendly. It was because of the ice cream, which was so underwhelming for what they charge. Yes, it was creamy, but the flavor wasn't there. It is way overpriced for a regular cup of ice cream that was basically one scoop. It should not have cost us about $18 for two regular scoops of ice cream. For the money I would recommend going to a regular ice cream shop. read more

PEANUT BUTTER BANANA w/ BACON Ice Cream made right in front of you @creamistry I got the Elvis w/ banana ice cream, bananas, candies bacon, and Reeses peanut butter sauce.

This place is a rip off. I ordered a "large" cookie butter ice cream, cashew milk, with chocolate and Carmel sauce. Very basic. It was $13! I thought it would be a huge serving of amazing ice cream. Nope. What I received stunned me at the ridiculously small size. It was as small as a child's serving at any other ice cream shop. Okay, so I taste it expecting perfection. Borrrringgg. The cookie butter flavor is a lie. It tastes 100% exactly like ground up graham crackers. That's not even a cookie!! The texture was the only good thing about the ice cream. It was extremely smooth and creamy. However, it lacked sweetness. It was like diet ice cream. I seriously do not recommend this place. For the same price, I could go get 4 giant crumbl cookies, or two large cold stone ice creams. This shop probably won't last long. Other reviews seem to agree with me about the serving size, price, and flavor being way off base. Try at your own risk. read more

Creamistry - This is the "large". It's actually ridiculously small. Approximately 2.5 little scoops worth of ice cream. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

It's pretty good. Really worth going once just to see them make it. After that I prefer the gelato places. It's not bad it's just not special enough to justify the price read more

Fun concept of made-to-order icecream using liquid nitrogen. Beyond the concept, this icecream shop is not particularly outstanding in my mind. I got the non-dairy pineapple whip. It tasted like Dole whip, slightly creamier. I also got a marshmallow cream topping but sadly there wasn't really that much topping added. This place was fun to try, but for the price ($9.75) for the smallest size + the topping, I'd rather try other spots. There are several tables with seating inside, there isn't any outdoor seating. read more

This one here is definitely a solid 3 - but solely for the actual taste of the ice cream and the way they make it. The experience itself with the service and cost was mediocre at best. I've been wanting to come here for a while now and try the nitrogen ice cream. We finally came by with my sister while she was in town a few weeks ago, and I have to say I wasn't all that impressed. In short, here are the pros and cons of our experience: Pros: - Ice cream is freshly made (duh) right in front of you with nitrogen so that's really really cool to see! - Taste was good, I particularly liked the texture, it's a little bit sticky almost but oh so creamy. I had the Cookie Monster ice cream, my sister had the S'mores and husband had the Sea Salt Caramel Crunch. We all enjoyed the flavors. Cons: - The service was pretty poor. No one was present when we came in to the store. After a few minutes of us wandering around, a girl finally came out and took our orders; then a random man came in from the front door (we thought it was a customer) but he started making our ice cream instead. Neither one of them really talked to us and really acknowledged us in a friendly way, which really threw us off. After we received the ice cream the guy left the store and the girl that took our orders went to the back and stayed there - we didn't have napkins and were waiting for her to come out but she never did. - This place is super pricey! It's $7.95 for a 5 oz ice cream, which is their signature creations that they are known for and includes the ice cream and toppings in it. The cost for their regular sized ice cream flavor (no toppings) is $6.95 so for a $1 difference, it makes sense to get their signature creation. Overall, I wasn't really impressed. It's a cool time to experience once for the nitrogen piece, but otherwise, I don't see myself coming back. read more

Who's the manager on duty that likes to come out from the back of the store and yell at customers that there are too many people inside the store? The lady in white t-shirt has been working her ass off to make everything for 17 people total (just took a head count) it's July 18th at 8:25pm. the manager that is yelling at people to wait outside with out any head counts taken. We have come here countless of times. The wait times are always mad and never make sense. One girl making orders one girl taking orders and the girl in the brown is barking orders and giving attitude to her workers and to the patrons. This is our last time here. Management is terrible.

So sad the amount of the product you get now is almost half of what used to be for a higher price! We will never be back again.

My family and I are here for holiday and attempted to visit another location, we even attempted this location the day before Christmas but whomever was working that day closed the place earlier than was advertised so glad we waited because we had the distinct pleasure of meeting Darryl who assisted our family with four eager kiddos and whose service was absolutely phenomenal best experience of our vacation! Not sure if this is the experience everyone has at Creamistry but Darryl made this experience for our family such a memorable one. Thank you!!! The ice cream is the best I've ever had. Seating can be limited if a large number of people are present when you arrive but they do have a bathroom in case it's needed! read more

Super cool and different experience. This place came recommended by a friend while we were in town. They use liquid nitrogen to freeze and make the ice cream.

Oh My! This place is a SCAM! Stay away if you can. Can I give it ZERO STARS? My husband wanted to try this place so we went and quite honestly I did too as the idea behind it is pretty cool. However I will let the photos speak for themselves. You know how they say we order "with our eyes" well that's what I did. I saw a pretty picture on the menu and said - that's what I want and my husband did the same thing but with the coffee one. Well let me tell you - the actual result looked NOTHING like it, the ice cream tasted like it was freezer burned and disgusting. Not to mention it cost $16 for two. We were upset and laughed at our own stupidity at the same time to spend that much on two scoops of ice cream. We WONT BE GOING BACK FOR SURE!! read more
