We were so excited and pleased to find a Brazilian establishment so close to our stay. Not only do they have Nitro ice cream, they also have Brazilian salgadinhos (small bites), and pizza with Brazilian flavors and ice cream! I highly encourage to try something new, I hope this place stays alive forever-- if it was near my home I would visit as often as a could. read more

I've been here twice at this point and tried the following: - Strawberry and Chocolate Ice Cream: standard ice cream. Nothing special. A few of them were freezer burned - Brownie: rich and fudgey, which was exactly what I was wanting at the time. Great as leftovers - Guava Filled Churro Bites: delicious, but you have to eat them right away. They are not good as leftovers I would like to try their nitro ice cream, but it's pricey and I'm not sure if I would like it enough. It would be nice if they made a size smaller than a medium. read more

I was disappointed by the customer service during my visit. I was the only customer in the shop and ordered a single scoop of chocolate, even pointing to the flavor I wanted in the front display. After taking my payment, the employee went into the back and returned with a scoop of a different chocolate flavor. When I asked why she hadn't used the one I pointed to, she explained that the front flavor was "café chocolate." I apologized for the misunderstanding and let her know that was actually the flavor I wanted. Instead of simply correcting the mistake, she visibly became frustrated, threw the first scoop in the trash, let out a heavy sigh, rescooped the café chocolate from the front display, and slammed the ice cream freezer door. Her reaction made me feel like I had done something wrong for politely asking for the flavor I originally requested. I understand misunderstandings happen, but there's no reason for a customer to be made to feel like an inconvenience--especially when the mistake was easily corrected. I also prefer ice cream scooped from the display I ordered from, which is why I asked. I hope management addresses the customer service experience, because the interaction left a much worse impression than the ice cream itself. read more

We tried two different kinds of Brazilian pizza, and both were absolutely delicious! The crust was super thin and crispy, and the flavors were amazing. The ice cream was also incredibly delicious! But what really stood out was the service. Everyone was very kind, friendly, and welcoming. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would definitely come back! read more

This ice cream was so creamy and delicious Had a large part and our order took some time but it was well worth the wait.

They have just about everything here from cheese balls , churros, sundaes, banana splits, croquettes etc.. and a extensive selection of ice cream flavors.. the cashier was wonderful super sweet! she decorated the cherries on my pistachio almond scoop which is just above and beyond for me :) plenty of seating as well Can't wait to come back( especially around the summertime) and try the mermaid (acai) super bowl ! read more

This place is permanently closed! We looked for it during the Dia de Los Muertos celebration and discovered it's no longer in business.

Ordered a $12 milkshake. ($14+ with tax and tip). It was as thin as milk. Literally. It was like a glass of milk with some flavoring in it. Won't be back. read more

Stopped in here because I love to grab nitrogen ice cream when I can find it. The service was different, we were greeted right away, but it took them 10 minutes to come up and help us and we were the only ones in the store. Once they came to the counter, barely a hi and the counter girl seemed annoyed of us ordering. Once i ordered they only took my order and didn't take my wife's and went to checkout. When I told her that wife was ordering too, she got annoyed. I ordered the nitro vanilla, while the ice cream was creamy, it was horribly artificial tasting, to the point I took 3 or 4 bites and threw the rest away. My wife had the Rocky road which was decent. We sampled a couple items from the case and those were pretty good. I wish I would have ordered something different but probably wouldn't come back either. Overall, I would not go out of way to come back here and would find another spot in town. read more

Just ok - can't even mix flavors Overpriced for what you get for sure. Service is also ehh read more

I've never had churro ice cream before and this place didn't disappoint!! Although i do think there could have been more of a churro flavor but overall it was really delicious and creamy. We also got the mini churro bites, half filled with Nutella and half filled with dulce de leche, and honestly the dulce de leche filled ones are better! The Nutella was just too overpowering in flavor. Overall super good, and service was great. Bathrooms are available to customers and lots of seating. read more

I have never tried nitro ice cream so my son and I decided to give this place a try. I had their nitro cookies and cream. It was so delicious! read more

Nitro + Pizza - Nitro Cookies & Cream Combo! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - San Diego, California

THEY SELL GUARANA, PÃO DE QUEIJO, AND COXINHAS!! I just moved to San Diego and stumbled upon this plan we by accident. You'd think it'd be easy to find more Brazilians around- but I have been struggling! This place is tucked away on a corner in Old Town and is a hidden gem! They also have nitrogen ice cream!! Super cool. They are super friendly and eager to help with questions. I love the atmosphere and the GOODIES! Definitely choosing this ice cream spot over all of the other ones in Old Town! read more

I was craving some ice cream and happened to walk by Nitro Plus at the peak of my craving and immediately stopped in. It's located a little off of Old San Diego Ave so there wasn't a ton of foot traffic and I was the only one in the shop. I decided to go with the cookies n cream nitro combo and it was AMAZING. Perfectly sweet, creamy, and decadent - even though I initially thought that the medium was going to be too much for me, I ended up finishing all of it in one sitting with no regrets. It went down easy. The making of your ice cream is also a cool show - it's made fresh and you can see the cold steam from the nitro coming off in waves from the bucket they use to churn the cream. read more

Absolutely love their made to order nitro ice cream!! my fiancé, got the pistachio, and I got the coconut. Absolutely delicious with real chunks of fruit in it and not overly sweet. The location in Old Town is a block off the main drag, which is nice because it's not as packed as some of the other sweets spots. read more

Set up like a typical ice cream shop. I had the coconut and the strawberry cheesecake. Both were excellent.

I walked past this place and decided to check it out. They use liquid nitrogen to create your ice cream. I got a small cup of vanilla ice cream with brownie bites and chocolate sauce. It was fantastic!! I loved the consistency of the ice cream and the brownies were so warm and gooey. It was only $5 for 1 scoop and toppings and it's so cool how you can watch them make the ice cream. read more

Ice cream was just mediocre, although they also serve a lot of other things from the looks of it. Store was not that well decorated but cute enough for a quick coffee or desert in the afternoon. read more

Spent time walking in the rain, searching, only to discover they closed early. Well before the time posted online and on their door! Wet shoes and disappointment. Update: Leaks happen. Updating stars from one to three for quick response from management. read more

A good spot for teenagers to chill with friends. Possibly a local hangout in lieu of a mall. Great for a group that wants a large spectrum of items to choose from. They have nitro ice cream (hence the name) but they also have regular store bought ice cream, and various desserts in one of the merchandise refrigerators. Also have coffee and espresso (again not recommended for elevated taste buds). If you want a bit of fried nosh, they have that too! The list seems to just keep going, but at levels of mediocrity. The old adage "spread too thin" comes to mind. Generally speaking, Not my cup of tea. Think fancy rest stop as opposed to elegant cafe. There was one person out of the handful or more of employees that knew what they were doing and took pride/initiative in their job. She was amazing and I give her props for dealing with all that she oversees. Especially since there's a vibe of employees/kids learning what to do but not wanting to be there nor remember what they learned. read more

I got the mango sorbet that was on the menu. I thought it would taste like one instead it was too thick and sweet. I would recommend everything else though. read more

After walking around Old town this was the perfect spot to stop and get a sweet treat! I ordered the Maui Waui Sherbert and my husband had a banana split which was very impressive. I'm not normally big on sweets, but this place hit the spot on a hot day! read more

After exploring old town we stumbled upon this gem down the street from our hotel. They had ready to scoop ice cream as well as freshly made ice cream using nitrous. We've had this type of ice cream before and the kids thoroughly enjoyed the cookies and cream and churro flavors. They loved that the cookies and cream came with crushed Oreo cookies and even a full cookie on top. We don't get churros ice cream in Seattle so that was a treat! The girls working were not personable and a bit standoffish, but I came for ice cream and that's exactly what we got. Overall we enjoyed it. read more

Expensive and wanted to charge us for 3 smalls separately when we wanted 3 different scoops of regular ice cream. The nitro had no flavor. The girl working was one of the worst customer service folks I've encountered in a while. read more

First time coming here though we've wanted to for some time. It was really fun to watch them make the ice cream and it tasted great. Good prices too! Actually possibly the best prices of any hard scoop ice cream place I've seen. This place should totally get more business than it had when we were there. Give it a try if you're in Old Town! read more

I haven't had Nitro ice cream in so long! It's difficult to find places that make it, but boy you surely can beat how creamy and smooth it is. They also have regular hand scooped ice cream and milk shakes and Frappuccinos as well! This place smells amazing immediately upon walking inside. Can't wait to come back. read more

Came here yesterday while we were waiting for sushi from harney. I had the mint nitro icecream- it was my first time having nitro ice cream and I wasn't too impressed. It has a smooth gummy texture to it but I wasn't blown away by any means. My hubby had the regular peanutbutter icecream. Once again, nothing special. The flavors weren't that great and it all just tasted very synthetic to us. Much prefer cold stone- esp for the price as we thought they were rather pricey. But it is old town and rent is prob expensive- which I would be willing to pay again if I thought this place was good. What I will say is the place is pretty nice for kids- lots of colors and they seem to have an area for them to play. read more

Nitro + Pizza - Mint nitro - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - San Diego, California

I have tried nitrogen infused ice cream from several different spots. This one was unfortunately the least tasty. I ordered the mint nitro infused ice cream, and it didn't taste like mint. It seemed to be plain ice cream mixed with some sort of green syrup. quite artificial. One should also be aware that some of their drinks start off at $10. Maybe their other food is quite good, but I cannot recommend the mint nitro ice cream. read more

I love this place, the customer service and the nitrogen ice cream! There are so many options. We've been back several times and have gotten nitrogen dulce de leche ice cream with Ferrero rocher. They have tons of other deserts and smoothies, Açaí bowls, coffee, hot chocolate, matcha. You name it! The portions are so generous and the sweet Brazilian woman who works there is the best. We feel so welcome and cared for whenever we stop by. We'll continue to support this business whenever we are in the area! read more

Wonderful service and very generous sized portions. Also-without the tourist crowds (what COVID) that exist at the other Old Town ice cream locations. We did not try the nitrogen ice cream and just had the ready-serve, which had a big selection! read more

Amazing ice cream we had the nitrogen selection - churro, chocolate and coconut ice cream unbelievable taste and experience on watching it made. The employees are really nice and deliver a professional service --- a must to check out in Old Town read more

The ice cream quality is pretty amazing! It's delicious, service was great the location is nice.

Not good customer service. We had 3 flavors of ice cream (cookie dough, Kona coffee, and praline) and none were that flavorful or great. It tasted like freezer burnt basic cheap vanilla ice cream. Would not recommend. read more

Super excited to try this place. Went after brunch. I got coconut milk, banana and walnuts .... very creamy and delicious. The BF got cookies and cream traditional. His was also amazing. Fun place, only reason for a 3 star was the staff. They were not engaging and took a long time to make our order, despite being the only dine in order at the time. Likely won't go back. read more

I had never tried nitrogen ice cream before so my dessert at Dr. Freeze was going to be a "new experience" for me. The girl at the counter explained that the nitrogen froze the ice cream at a much colder temperature than usual as it was being churned and that results in a smoother texture (or something like that). Anyway, I ordered Coconut flavor...and it was smooth and delicious. It also had coconut flakes and some other little bits of yellow chewy stuff which I couldn't identify. Overall, this "new experience" was a very good one. read more

stumbled upon by accident and so happy we did. The girls who took care of us were just lovely! My grandma and I came in for coffee, churros and coxinhas (Brazilian savory snacks made with potato, chicken & cheese.) Random - I know! but my favorite snacks and worth trying if you never have. Coffee was fresh. Churros were delicious & baked instead of fried! And just nice to get away from the main touristy street! read more

Had a delicious dolce de Leche nitro ice cream on this hot day in Old Town. Very creamy. Definitely recommend.

After a long day of sight seeing this corner nitro ice cream shop hit the spot. Service was fast and friendly and the ice cream was good. I like the nut slivers and the marshmallows weren't soggy or worse whipped. read more

It was very expensive for a small amount of ice cream. The ice cream tastes like those cups of ice creams that come with the wood spoons that you eat when you're a kid. I couldn't finish it. Barely any toppings as well. Would've been better if it was cheaper tbh or if they had A LOT more toppings to distract from the ice cream. read more
