Very unique concept in the ice cream shop industry. The salted caramel ice cream was absolutely delicious. The menu description made me think it had a waffle in it- which is why I ordered it; but it actually only a little, tiny sliver of a waffle cone that was tucked in the side, you hardly knew it was there. They definitely need to add more of the waffle cone into it, especially for the price. My girls had fruity pebbles blended in with their ice cream, which sounded absolutely gross to me. But after trying it, I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty it was; I couldn't stop eating it. The made to order waffle cones are always my favorite. Cute place, great location. read more

First time at Creamistry, I was really excited since I had heard it was a really cool experience. The creation process was fun, but the ice cream was not that great. I was not a fan of the texture, it reminded me of laffy taffy. Not sure is this is due to the nitrogen. The ice cream I ordered was also really really sweet. I didn't eat it all. Not to mention the ice cream was extremely overpriced. I will not be coming back again, I'd take cold stone over creamistry any day. read more

Creamistry - Cap'n crunch - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

First time and not bad at all. Came in on Labor Day and wasnt as crowded as other people have said at other times. Wife ordered coconut base cheesecake with captain crunch and fruity pebbles. Really creamy, different texture. Not bad at all. I ordered the all chocolate thingy, lol love it. Love it. Chocolate chips, ice cream, brownie, fudge and whipped cream. Noticed on the video screen said they are part of Five Star, no one mentioned it or asked for. Checking in to rack up points. Hard to find a table at first and was worried would have to stand and eat, but busy flow of people coming and going. Can I ask for shades on the window please. Sun is blinding and killing me. read more

Came here because I heard nothing but good things, Pretty pricy for what you get. I paid $20 for two small nitro shakes, and they were pretty mediocre, could have been better for the price. There were 4 girls in there and none of them were friendly, all looked like they hated their job and that we were an inconvenience to them. I went in on a Sunday and it was extremely slow, we were the only ones in there. read more

Creamistry - Strawberry Bond nitro shake - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

My family and I have been going to Creamistry for years now. Very good freshly made nitro ice cream. Great experience for kids to watch the nitrogen being poured in and the fog come rolling out. I highly recommend the Captains Breakfast. I get it almost every time. read more

okay all the employees looked so young and tired, they look like they need a break. i felt terrible. i even saw someone who look like 14 working with the liquid nitrogen? that can't be legal... the manager (i think her name was jessica?) she looked always ticked and mad, and i saw an employee smoking in the back after we walked out? and it was like so expensive too. the liquid nitrogen looked cool, but like i said, i was more focused on the literal child working it i think this place needs a good look from the health department! god bless all the youngins there read more

Creamistry - our live reactions after leaving - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

This establishment was unclean, with terrible service and under-qualified employees- the ice cream was extremely underwhelming, and not worth the price at all! The ambiance was nothing special, and was made even worse by the rude attitude of the manager, who always seemed to be ticked off at not just the workers, but the customers as well! I will never come back to this place. As a side note, the employees working seemed super young to be working with the nitrogen! That can't be safe! read more

This store is run absolutely terribly. The customer service is severely lacking, the lobby is constantly dirty with sticky tables, there's always something that they're out of. I have been here a number of times because my 5-year-old loves to watch the nitrogen ice cream being made, so I come here for him. However, the last 3 times I went in, they had "closed early due to selling out." The manager was specifically rude. Additionally, all of the employees seem very young and immature, as if the establishment is run by high school students. When Im being charged 30 dollars for two ice creams, I expect much better than half melted product in a dirty establishment, being served by angry, under qualified workers. (At this point, it'd be cheaper to buy the liquid nitrogen and make the ice cream myself.) I will be taking my son anywhere else but here in the future, and I advise you do the same. read more

My son kept saying how yummy the ice cream was. He said the waffle cone was the best he's eaten. He said he wants to go back! The staff was very helpful too. I liked the ambience and how clean it was. Great vibes! read more

For starters, the lady at the cash register looked soulless and couldn't wait until 9pm, so she could go to her Overhyped blink 182 concert. Ordered a creation, but didn't get anything created lmao. Got vanilla ice cream with caption crunch cereal in it for $10. Tables weren't cleaned. Whole place needed a decent wipedown. The glass consisted of atleast 50* kids saliva. Pretty bad first day impression. Just saying! read more

Creamistry - Captain crunch creation. $10 :/ - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

Great ice scream spot. They make everything from scratch and they have multiple options. The staff is super nice and helpful with any questions on the menu. Can be a little pricey for some ice cream but it's really good. Can be a little dirty but it's always busy. Great spot to go for the experience as they make the ice cream with liquid nitrogen, or just to grab some unique flavored ice cream. read more

Fantastic ice cream, with a cool twist. Super convenient in downtown Gilbert, perfect for after you have a drink and want some ice cream

Fun place to go for a treat or after dinner dessert. Pretty cool concept with the liquid nitrogen and the kids in the place were in awe watching the ice cream be made. read more

Super nice experience on a Tuesday evening. Our first time in. The girl who took our order was sweet but Tyler was hands down one of the nicest humans! Was super good with kids and made sure they experienced the whole making of the ice cream. Great idea to be able to choose from dairy or vegan base and a great flavor selection. Very clean inside and the ice cream was delicious. I'd say maybe a tad on the pricey side but you get your money's worth in flavor, customer service and experience. Worth a visit when in DT Gilbert. read more

I've heard amazing things about this place, but unfortunately I left feeling quite disappointed. The place is extremely clean and tucked away in the ever busy Downtown Gilbert. The two girls working were very nice and helpful; however, the service was extremely slow. The way they make the ice cream is such a great concept, unfortunately poorly executed. It took about ten minutes to get our "large" ice creams and the cost was about $10. The term "large" is questionable. Like stated above, the concept is great--it's just way too expensive for the product. You'll be better off grabbing a pint from the store and your own add-in's for MUCH cheaper. read more

I've ordered delivery multiple times because I love the ice cream; however, about 50% of the time when the order arrives, it is either incorrect or incomplete. I'm usually pretty laid back about this, which is why I haven't written a review until now. This ice cream isn't cheap, so when individually paid for toppings are omitted or you have to send your delivery driver back to the store for the missing order, it can be frustrating. Please use this review as a learning experience for the workers and a warning to buyers to check your order for correctness prior to sending or delivery driver away. read more

Unique ice cream opportunity. If you enjoy ice cream, and you find yourself in Gilbert, this is a must try. The unique method mixing the ice cream from a liquid to a frozen ball of ice cream as we know it, right in front of your eyes, is magical. Come watch chemistry at the Creamistry! Ice cream was smooth and creamy. Lots of toppings too. And, bonus, they offer a free scoop on your birthday! I didn't give 5 stars simply because I felt the employees could have been a tad bit more enthusiastic and I'm old so service really matters to me. read more

We LOVE this place. We bring our kids every Saturday afternoon. They love watching the ice cream being made. And the ice cream, itself, is delicious. So worth the wait. It's always pretty busy but it's nice to see the young staff working hard to stay on top of it all. Such a great work ethic being instilled in these teens. Thanks for always giving us such a great experience! read more

I had the speculoos overload signature creation which is basically cookie butter ice cream, marshmallows, biscoff cookies and whipped cream. I loved the taste of the cookie butter! Oh yum! This is a really unique ice cream place where you could get your favourite ingredients whipped up into an ice cream using nitrogen right in front of you! I loved the part when the nitrogen clouds came off! I would definitely go there again to try out more flavours. read more

Stopped by last night since the obvious mood was ice cream. Ordered the Large Sea Salt Caramel Crunch. The reason this experience was a 3.5 was because the product was not as advertised on the picture as far as size & presentation and the $10 plus dollars based on how small it was. The flavor itself however was a hard 4 with caramel mixed with good vanilla ice cream and waffle chunks throughout. read more

Ridiculous. Came all the way from Anthem. Although the advertised item I wanted was "limited time only", the server tells me it's discontinued. It looks to me like similar ingredients are all listed right there on the regular menu! So, now that I figure that out, I have to get back in the ridiculous 30 minute line while my daughter and wife sit and eat theirs? Employee could have said " Even though it's discontinued, we can make something like it." Waste of my family time. I do not and will not recommend. read more

Came here an hour before closing on a Tuesday night (they close at 10pm Monday - Thursdays) and ended up ordering a DIY regular (a size up from kids) and went with the organic ice cream base option. They have vegan options which is awesome. I chose matcha ice cream and three sides: strawberries, bananas, and Nutella. They use liquid nitrogen to prepare your ice cream and toppings so it can be fun to watch. I felt the matcha tasted very powder-like vs a creamy texture which brought the score down. There weren't many strawberries and banana bits as my toppings either :( it was also on the pricer end of $10.94 for my one order. I thought for the price, the ice cream base would at least be solid. read more

Creamistry - Matcha ice cream with strawberries, banana, and Nutella - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

Fun to watch? Is this place just a fad? Yes on both parts. Is it the best ice cream I ever had not even close. It's a lot of bells and whistles for quite a bit of money, the flavors can be a lot of fun to make and is actually very entertaining. That's the reason why I give it four stars instead of three. It's a place that I think if you took the kids they would really enjoy getting their ice cream with all of the Bells in whistles that go along with it. Are there better places for ice cream? Yes. Are there better places for entertainment while getting ice cream? No read more

Ok Creamistry. I have once again come back to pay homage to my favorite Gilbert Ice Cream. Unfortunately, once again you have paid homage to poor service and absolutely shameful wait times. I had no line in front of me....I ordered 2 ice cream sandwiches and a kids cup... 29 minutes later NO ICE CREAM! Seriously, this shouldn't be that difficult!!! I completely understand if there was a line, as that would be a "proceed at my own risk" wait time situation.... But no line??? 30 minutes?? And then, if you can believe this: after 30 min they tell me that they don't actually have anymore CapnCrunch sandwiches!!!!!! So sorry. Not when I ordered, but after I waited 30 minutes!! Wait there's more; then they hand someone my Pumpkin ice cream...he leaves with it and then 3 minutes later returns with it, his hands all over the ice cream and whip cream running down his hand.. he says sorry, this wasn't mine I don't like pumpkin!!!! And slides it in front of me.... as though I am going to eat it after he returned it to me!! 10 more minutes for a replacement!! Seriously, you can't make this up!! I am sorry Creamistry, I really really want to do business with you but there are some fundamental flaws that continue to concern me... In closing, the employee was very kind and remade my pumpkin and did offer me other ice cream as a replacement for the CapnCrunch.... unfortunately my wife and I came there specifically for that cereal dessert crack..... I was given a refund and I would say a sincere apology. Please help (insert message in bottle)..... read more

Yummy! My girls enjoyed their treat today while the sun was beaming. It was fun watching them make the ice cream and I really loved watching my girls enjoy the show. The ladies working was very interactive with my girls, showing them the steps they were taking while putting their treat together. We sat outside and let the girls enjoy. We got to taste each of their creations they picked (mint Oreo and Capt Crunch) and I loved both. Next time I'll get my own. read more

It was just ice cream nothing to brag about. We got an ice cream sandwich and the unicorn Bowl they had to make the sandwich with brownies I guess the were out of the other things they use. Really rich... I really wish they had smaller options I ate maybe 1/4 of mine and nephew ate maybe 1/2 it was just to much read more

It was my birthday and we had just finished at barrio queen and wanted some sweet dessert. I've gotten Creamistry in California and I was so excited to see we had one here in Gilbert! My friends and i went 20 minutes before they closed to see if they were still able to make us a desert (I felt bad as I know I've worked in the restaurant and those last customers sometimes it's a pain!) however I always served as the time to close was 10pm. We walked in and instantly got dirty looks from everyone and no one approached us. They told us they "ran" out of everything for the night. Not the way I wanted to end my birthday day but it is what it is, next time maybe have your establishment close at 9 if they don't wanna deal with the customers or at least lock the doors with a sign that they ran out for the night. In California they wouldn't even start closing down until the last minute. But I get it, I guess read more

The service is terrible at this place. We were trying to get dairy free options, which they offer, but they were not willing to tell us what signature creations were available dairy free. We will not be back. read more

So I had heard from a couple of close friends that this was an excellent ice cream spot to have ice cream made with nitrogen ... so while out driving looking for a spot to eat BOOM!... there it is!.... so of course I made a 'U-ie' I. The middle of the road to go back. I mean who wouldn't want to go to a place where u can get ur ice cream made right in front of you with nitro !.... Well folks the excitement was over rated! They had lines and a packed little spot but I'm sure it was just full of people like me wanting to see the technique ... The ambience- could quite see the decor because of how small and how little room there was to move around. Everyone stands at the glass waiting to see something happen and sadly all you see is a couple of kitchen aid like mixers with a fixed pipe that drops the nitro and u don't even see much else ... the nitro puts off a gas like most that clouds over the window and seeps out from the under side of the glass window ... yup that's it So it was pretty much that can't see the Forrest for the trees deal The Staff- they seemed impatient and not to friendly ... I meant at Cold Stone at least you get a welcome when you enter before you get hit with the prices ... which brings me to the slap in the face.... Pricing- Whooooooooaaaaaaa!.... and then Huuuuuuuuhhhh and finally a Arrrreew uuuuuu Serrrrrreiooooouuuussssss !!!..... yes everyone of those emotions but not necessarily in that order. They have three sizes like Cold Stone and they have multiple toppings .... however comma each topping after u choose ur choice of cream; which apparently varied from super heavy cream, heavy cream, coconut cream and a couple others ... any how I chose the richest cream with the added coffee flavor ... this cup started out at about $8 in the large size ... then it gets interesting ... each additional topping is $1 ... so I go out cause you know I'm expecting great things. I add almonds, Oreos, chocolate chips, chocolate syrup and brownie pieces ... When I tell you I had maybe one half of an Oreo and one tiny brownie and maybe ten chocolate chips (if that)... and the only really topping I could taste was the almond pieces ... I'm talking disappointment beyond reason ... u can tell from the photo that there is a serious lack in my cup of ice cream from other photos shared The fact that I paid well over $15 for this cup of ice cream for it to taste nothing like coffee and more like cream and then not be able to taste all the toppings I added accept the few chocolate chips and the almonds ... folks go to cold stone you will get the same experience except you'll be able to see the ice cream being made to tell them 'hey I need some more Oreos and brownie added in there ' You'll get the same cup sizes And you will definitely not have to pay as much as you would here ... In closing, don't believe the hype ... save your dollar ... I had an eleven year old tell me 'you spent $15 on that'.... my walk of shame was great read more

Creamistry - This is the large... barely fills the cup and can't see any Oreos or brownie in there - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

Always good ice cream and service. Not sure if it's really worth $8 for one small scoop. I'm going to say no for me.

It's my first time at this location and I'm sorry to say the matcha green tea nitro shake today was sorely disappointing. I've had many a Creamistry nitro shake from different locations, and they were always so good. Not today, however. It was not as "frozen" and it didn't really taste like anything. It was kind of like a milky slurry rather than the usual awesomeness that is the nitro shake. For paying over ten bucks for a shake, this Creamistry failed me. Stick with other locations. read more

I went in with my kids who had dirty hands. I asked if they could wash them before we ate. They told me the bathrooms were closed. I asked if they could use the sink sitting directly behind the employee and was told it wasn't allowed. Can you really have a business that serves food and have no way for people to wash their hands? Can employees be that unable to solve such a basic problem? We went across the street to Peterson's Old Time Ice Cream Parlor. It was lovely. They had a bathroom and everything! read more

Love this place! The line was so long on a Friday night when we came here, but let's face it, everything in downtown Gilbert on a Friday or Saturday night has a long wait. The line was long but the wait to get our order wasn't bad. We ordered the Captains Breakfast (same thing we get at the Scottsdale location). It was sooooo good! Creamy and delicious! I'm so happy we have a location close to home! read more

We've been here before, and decided to try it again. We got there, and they are not practicing social distancing! The shop is small and there were about 50 people there, and 3 employees. We ordered and our order for 2 was $19, before tip (which seems a little outrageous). We waited 20+ minutes for our ice cream. Mine was only 2/3 full and came with hot fudge, and crumbled cookies. It wasn't like the picture. It had about 1 crumbled cookie in it, and a squirt of hot fudge. The rest was just mint ice cream with nothing. Not what you expect from a $10 ice cream, that's for sure. Tons of ice cream shops in Gilbert, go somewhere else. Too expensive for mediocre ice cream. read more

We love Creamistry! The whole experience is so much fun and the employees are always helpful. We've gone twice so far and had the same order both times. My husband and I really enjoy stopping here for a quick treat after dinner. read more

Been here twice now. First experience was great. Delicious ice cream. Love the coconut base with milk coffee. YUM. However, the second time left me disturbed. The girl making ice cream must have had such a bad day. She was slamming utensils everywhere. Making it loud and distracting while enjoying my ice cream in store. Can someone please check in on her? She's clearly upset about something. If she's not, then she should be more conscious about her action. read more

Love this place! This is our second time to this location. They have a lot of different options such as organic, premium, dairy free (coconut). A lot of different toppings and flavors. You are able to put the toppings inside or mixed in. Previously, I've ordered coffee ice cream with Oreos. This time, I ordered the kids size premium base chocolate ice cream with gummy bears and my brother got a regular size dairy free taro ice cream with gummy bears. I tried my brother's ice cream and I'm not a fan of coconut but this didn't taste like coconut at all so I definitely will try the dairy free base next time. The process of making the ice cream is cool and kids are amazed as if it was a show. They have long lines but it's worth the wait. The ice cream is very creamy. We went there last night and a guy that worked there greeted us and was very friendly. He was very friendly with the other customers too and very helpful. Not sure of his name but kind of tall and wore glasses. I assumed that he was the manager. But you can tell he loves what he does and in watching him making the ice cream, he seemed so passionate in his work. There was another guy there who originally took our order and then as we were waiting, I saw that he transferred into putting the ice cream in it's containers. I do think he needed help with it because I can tell that the prepared bowls were building up. So either he was a little slow at it or he needed help. My ice cream melted a little but not major but I think just because it was waiting for a little bit when he was putting them in bowls. Other than that, must try and great for kids! read more

was out with my girlfriend for our anniversary, had tacos nearby, walked over at 8:30pm last night 7/17/20 there were about 10 people inside waiting for their orders, girl tells us we are closing down .... have a good night.

This place is an ice cream, game changer!!! I have never had such creamy ice cream. Now by creamy, I mean like silky smooth cheesecake type creaminess. There was a lineup throughout the building, out the front door & a few people back. It took us about 25-30 minutes to order & get said ice cream. However, waiting in line you are distracted by the friendly staff saying hi to everyone who enters & all the pillowy smoke of the liquid nitrogen, as they are making everyone's orders. These machine are behind glass for all waiting in line to witness making your order. So I was pleasantly surprised when I checked my clock & half hour had flow by. I wish I had one closer to where I live, this was an absolute treat. read more
