best sundae i have ever had. can't wait to come back repeatedly. i had the black and tan sundae, thank you!

This is a fun little place on 4th Street. Delicious ice cream! Unfortunately only one staff member with a big line, she said her coworker called out sick. She was such a trooper, scooping orders but also making waffle cones simultaneously. We were very appreciative of her good attitude! This place closes super early, like 8pm, so we got ice cream before dinner. Hey, we're adults and can do whatever we want! We will definitely return, it was so good! read more

The ice cream is delicious. I like how they have the ice creams on display as well, and they let you sample. However, One of the staff members (this blonde lady) is incredibly rude. I understand everyone has bad days, and there were a lot of people in line, but she was shouting at customers to tell them to figure out who was next..." well, I'm not serving right now and we only have one server, so you need to get it together." There were kids everywhere and I was embarrassed for her. Maybe this place needs to hire more help, especially on a busy Saturday. read more

"iScream" ice cream is Fourth Street's only dedicated ice cream place. It has a prime location just north of Hearst Ave, but it's entrance is away from the sidewalk. There's plenty of tables outside lining the path to the door. I was there on a Wednesday around 5pm. A line is normal at iScream, so I got behind 2 people. There was only one hardworking young lady behind the counter, so we had to wait a bit. I don't know what they were baking in the backroom, but the sweet aroma was just captivating. I asked for a scoop of Dark Chocolate in a cup. The "tap to pay" system made the transaction quick and simple. The ice cream was rich, creamy, with a bitter aftertaste. Very good! For $5.25. it satisfied my ice cream craving. read more

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! Small setup offering ice cream scoops, floats, affogato, and more. I appreciate how they do free samples and the cups come with a waffle triangle. I tried their pink guava and equator coffee flavors. The pink guava reminded me of those Asian guava candies but felt like it was missing something still.. not sure what but overall decent ice cream stop on a hot day! read more

Passed by while taking a walk down Fourth Street and decided to get some ice cream. I got a scoop of crème brûlée and my boyfriend got a scoop of dark chocolate. The ice cream is so rich and delicious. The crème brûlée ice cream actually tastes like crème brûlée. You'd be surprised how that's not the case at some places (looking at you, boba spots... puff cream is not crème brûlée). The triangle piece of waffle cone that's complementary with every cup complemented the flavors of the ice cream perfectly. read more

iScream - creme brûlée and dark chocolate ice cream with complementary waffle cone pieces - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Berkeley, California

I am so glad iScream took over this spot. They have freshly made waffle cones, about ten changing flavor options, ranging from dark chocolate to marzipan to crème brûlée to strawberry, depending on the season. The ice cream is small batch and consistently has a good texture. They usually have two vegan options as well. (Note: lemon sorbet tasted too much like cleaning spray.) They also have ice cream cakes that we order every year for birthdays, house made ice cream sandwiches, and coffee. This is a smaller location than the one on Solano, without much more than a small counter for seating, but the outdoor seating area is nice and off the sidewalk of Fourth Street. On sunny weekends, even in the winter, there is often a line, but it moves along due to the limited menu options (I see this as a plus). read more

Before you can even reach the door, you are greeted with smell of homemade cookies. Okay, I knew I was in trouble. No kid size in a cone? But there is a kid size in a cup. Interesting. But great for kids cuz they get a bigger scoop. I was distracted by a dad who was losing his cool when one of his kid dropped his ice cream. read more

Got the brownie and the affogato. It was okay but worth trying organic. The brownie was a bit dry. Affogato was small but I needed a small hit of sweet caffeine. read more

Was looking for a sweet treat in Berkeley and this place was nearby so here I am. I ordered two scoops. I had 1 scoop of cookies and cream and 1 scoop of coffee and cream in a cup. I wanted it in a waffle cone but sadly the ran out of it when I arrived :(. Anyways... the ice cream was really creamy and the scoops were pretty generous. That being said, I'd definitely would slide thru again. Try it out if you like. :) read more

Happy that there is another iScream! location! There is one on solano fyi. The flavors are different for each location so be sure to look online to see what is available. This is a small location but there are plenty of flavors offered as well as other ice cream based goods like ice cream cake. The entire store smells like fresh made waffle cone which is what led to me getting a waffle cone! Ended up getting the cassis (black currant), creme brulee, and the dark chocolate. All three I highly recommend! The creme brulee has a strong caramel flavor and oh so creamy. The chocolate is a solid chocolate flavor without it being overwhelmingly sweet. The cassis is definitely different but in a good way if you like berry like flavors. Come and try iScream! Local ice cream place with great flavors and amazing ice cream! read more

Came across this ice cream shop as we were walking around in the area. We got two orders each with two scoops. One in the waffle cone with passion fruit and vanilla bean and the other one in a cup with coffee and cream brûlée flavor. All the flavors were so yummy and the texture was so creamy. There are some seatings in the outside to grab. I highly recommend this place. read more

We popped in here on a total whim, like *five minutes* before closing--sorry, dude! I'm pretty sure the guy was counting down the seconds to go home, but he was super chill and patient even after the doors should've been locked. Plus, their cakes look *next-level* amazing! The ice cream? So good! The flavors are super unique and rich. And the scoops? Massive. I couldn't even finish mine, which is a rare feat. But I love that you can mix two flavors in one scoop because, honestly, I couldn't pick just one. I'll definitely be back for my sweet tooth fix. This place knows how to do ice cream right! read more

I have not been to this location ever since it used to be Noble Cow Creamery. Fortunately, iScream is so much better! They don't offer a great number of flavor options, however the flavors they do serve are very intriguing! They had a banana oreo flavor that seemed very interesting and I'll definitely try it next time if available. The consistency of the ice cream was very similar to gelato which I appreciate so much. Two scoops of ice cream was the perfect amount for me without feeling overwhelmed (with two scoops, you are able to choose two flavors). Service was great and to the point, and the inside of the store appeared to be very clean and tidy. I'll be back at this spot for dessert anytime I dine in around the area. read more

While the service was friendly and helpful during my visit, in my opinion the mint chip ice cream flavor was a problem. To start with, it wasn't fully frozen and had a sporadic icicle crunch - odd for freshly scooped ice cream. My scoop also had a sharp chemical taste to it that made me think the flavor was achieved by adding in spearmint extract and not by soaking the milk in mint leaves. Once eaten with the accompanying waffle cone the chemical taste of the ice cream became overpowering. If too much extract were added in (which is what I think happened here), the higher content of the alcohol in the extract would lower the freezing point of the dessert, resulting in a more liquid batch accompanied by an icicle rich texture. iScream is a small business that carries only a few flavors so I'm surprised it wasn't caught when they had trouble keeping the batch frozen and it wasn't discovered during taste testing and pulled. Either way, I just don't think the iScream brand is for me and I'll probably be sticking with my local Handels and Gio Gelati. read more

Fun flavors and good ice cream. Mostly outdoor seating, one seat inside. They allow samples. Friendly staff.

The ice cream is organic, rich and oh so creamy. A small scoop suffices. I went with the mint chip and the mint was so pronounced and refreshing. Enjoyed it. At least the day I went flavors were on the plain side: vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, blueberry, cookies & cream and mint chip. Put some chocolate chunks in that strawberry, or real pops of blueberries in the blueberry; give me something a little sexy. I also love me a cone, but they only offer a rather large waffle one, which is a meal in itself. I would have loved a small sugar or wafer cone to keep it a bit more manageable. Overall, incredible decadent ice cream offering up fresh and simple flavors. Outside had a few tables and chairs and being on 4th street is oh so lovely. read more

Cookies 'n Cream on a sugar cone is my go to here! A single scoop is just perfect to devour. Delicious.

I stopped by the 4th St shops and was surprised to find that iScream has moved here, their 2nd shop when I last reviewed it had been at Shattuck but they must have moved again. I saw they currently have crème brûlée, blackberry, and seriously dark chocolate. I appreciate that the worker was masked and was patient with the customers ahead of me, but but I wish they used gloves when handling the food - I saw them rolling the waffle cones with bare hands. Unfortunately, iScream only allows for one sample so I tried the blackberry, then decided to order a medium with blackberry and dark chocolate (for the tiny, you can only get 1 flavor). The blackberry was good and quite sweet, it had a stronger dairy taste than I expected since I usually expect blackberry to be more acidic and sorbet-like so I liked the rich dairy. The dark chocolate was very chocolatey but not as bitter as I expected. I think it could've standed to have more of the bitter cocoa flavor, because it really just tasted like chocolate to me - still good, just not as dark as the "seriously dark" made me expect. They have a couple of tables and chairs outside the shop, if you want to eat right there. read more

We spontaneously stopped by here while shopping in the fourth street area; could not resist ice cream on a hot summer afternoon! We got two scoops in a cup: the Equator Coffee and Cookies and Cream. Both were not overly creamy or sweet, and had a buttery smooth texture that glided effortlessly down my mouth. The Equator Coffee tasted like real brewed coffee latte, none of that artificial or fake-tasting coffee ice cream from the grocery store. The cookies and cream had big chunks of scrumptious cookies majestically intertwined and married into swirls of vanilla ice cream -- so delicious! The worker who helped us was very nice as well, asking us if we wanted two samples and an extra spoon and waffle piece when she noticed we were going to share a cup. We also sampled the grapefruit sorbet, which tasted like real grapefruit and is a unique flavor that you don't come by often. Will definitely be coming back again to get that as a full scoop! read more

Ice cream was a good sweet treat to have after dinner. The lavender paired very well with the green tea and both had great flavors!

My Husky was destroyed that Peet's was out of whipped cream when I took her with me to get my green tea. They recommended I scream. We went straight there and waited in line--well worth the wait. The woman was so kind and gave my girl a lovely scoop of whipped cream. I bought a double chocolate, walnut brownie for my husband, which he devoured. This will become our favorite stop on Fourth Street. The shop is clean and very inviting with outdoor tables for enjoying your treats. read more

Great place and location. Parking can be tricky but it's doable. Lots of people everytime I go. Check for flavors on their website. The creme brulee and ginger snap weren't too sweet. We were able to snag a table inside, but seating is very limited. Outside has some tables with an overhead heater. The server was really nice and friendly. Quite comical actually. At this location they don't seem to have cake cones, if that's your thing. read more

The women serving were wonderful and enthusiastic about the ice cream and kind with the clientele. The ice cream is fantabulous.

Amazing ice cream cakes. Got blueberry and strawberry with chocolate wafer cookie crumble base. Beautifully decorated cake (was not expecting such fancy decorations on the cake!). Awesome communication from the staff via email about ordering and pick up. Would definitely recommend and buy again. Can't wait to celebrate another birthday in the fam with an iScream ice cream cake!!! read more

I went here with my family and the ice cream was pretty good. I found a hair in my ice cream and told one of the girl helping us.

Not only is the ice cream good, the dainty environment is cute, but the customer service is also top tier. My friend and I came in the early closing hour, yet it was still so busy. Yet there was only one guy working the store. Huge W to him (the guy in glasses and the black hat); he was hard carrying the store-- running back and worth swiftly among the cashier, refilling inventory, and scooping ice creams. He deserves a raise/bonus!! read more

iScream has opened a new store in the Epicurious Garden (across the street from Cheeseboard) just in time for the summer! The new location offers almost all of the same ice cream flavors as the Solano location. The new location does not currently serve milkshakes, but they do have some gorgeous cakes on display for sale. A scoop of ice cream with a little waffle wedge is $4. The ice cream was rich and packed with flavor. I opted for cookies n cream which had big chunks of Oreos. My friend's scoop of strawberry was also delicious. Highly recommend stopping by to support this new spot and enjoy a scoop of ice cream outside in the beautiful courtyard! read more
