Excellent Excellent EXCELLENT! Yours truly Nasty Nathanial here. I am sure all of my fellow Yelpers…read morecan already tell how this review is going to go. I mean I didn't even kick it off with my traditional "howdy folks." But seriously, this is the best ice cream that I've ever had in my whole life and I'm going to tell you all why. So strap on your safety belts and let's drive right into it. I recently tried Nite Creamery's ice cream for the first time the other night. But this isn't the first time I've ever been here. I visited this location a few months back when myself, and fellow activist Matthew The King, came here to conduct a First Amendment Audit. But ever since then I've been curious about this place. There was something about Nite Creamery that set it apart from the other businesses in the area. Could it be that mysterious fog like substance that creeps over the counter? Well, there's a reason for that and I will explain that in a bit. But regardless of the reason, I just had to return and try their ice cream. Boy oh boy am I glad I did. So I ended up coming to Nite Creamery on a Wednesday evening and I am glad that I chose a week night for my first visit because this place can get pretty packed on the weekend. But I was able to walk right up to the counter where I was greeted by two friendly employees, a dark haired girl and a chubby Filipino guy. Both of them had smiles on their faces and seemed happy to be. For all I know maybe they hate their job. But if they do, they're doing a pretty good job hiding it. Now the next step was to place an order. I bet you didn't see that coming. But their ordering system is a little bit different than most places. One of the employees explained to me that how it works is you place your order on a touch screen pad and then pay with whatever payment method you're using. This was kind of nice as I felt less pressured without having someone standing over me while I try to decide what I want. But I still kind of miss the good ol' days of a real human being taking your order. But hey. This is 2026, not 1996. Anyways, I ended up going with this ice cream called the Salted Carmel Crumb. One of the things that first caught my attention was the fact that they place a pretzel on top of the scoop of ice cream. Yes I'm serious. A pretzel on ice cream. I bet you never heard of that before. Well, that is unless you have been to Nite Creamery before. Enough about how the ice cream looks. Let's talk about how it tasted. This ice cream is PHONOMENAL! It truly is better than s**. They don't make ice cream in the traditional way like they do at most ice cream parlors. At Nite Creamery they mix the ingredients and then freeze it right on the spot. That's where the mysterious fog comes from. But yeah that's what they do at Nite Creamery and I'm glad they do it that way. The reason being is you get a richer creamier ice cream that is full of flavor and tastes oh soooooooo good. I liked it so much that when I was finished, I walked back in and ordered another one. Only this time I went with the All Niter. That was phenomenal as well. If you've made it through this entire review I will assume that you get it that I love Nite Creamery. I really do love this place and I hope they'll continue to remain in the community for year's to come. So with that being said, I think I will go ahead and sign off for now. If you live on the Central Coast and want to try some ice cream that is better than s**, I highly encourage you to head over to Nite Creamery. You won't be disappointed. If you are, well, there's a Baskin Robbins in this town. Rock and roll doggies! Alrrrrrrrriiiiiiiight! NASTY NATHANIAL

Known them for over 10 years and we are still closer than ever. Great folks to cheer me up and speak life into me when I'm feeling low! After service we decided to come here which was closing at 10pm and we arrived around 920. The two ladies seem to be in a rush to close and get out. They weren't to friendly and seem to be closing way to early. But the yogurt was delicious and the stuff to put on was nice. Made me think of my daughter and her mother from the times we went. But the ambiance wasn't so pretty had 3 tables inside and chairs. Some seats outside. But I'd like to go again in the day time to see if the energy feels the same. I asked the employees some questions about the candy and they were really short. So that's why I gave it a 3. But there are plenty of parking in the parking lot Now it's the light skin dragon blasting off looking for another review to leave all my yelp friends. And yelp elite please stop playing with me. Why am I not elite haha

The employees seem to get along well, so well that they don't really listen when your talking to them to make your order. I requested a love-it size but got the like-it instead. I didn't bother to correct the order since I probably don't need the additional sugar/calories but if you routinely don't listen I'm sure it adds up on opportunities to cash bigger items. The glass on the ice cream display was super smudged with handprints. It was hard to ignore when trying to decide what to order.

There is no need to be mopping at 7 PM when the store closes at 10 PM and they lift up all the chairs at 7 PM already. (Yes! I know you all want to go home but come on you're still on the clock) A young girl with black hair caught my attention. She is clearly just for the money and not to make the place better. She took a break while I was eating there, she went ahead and sat in one of the chairs in the back and hang her feet up upside down . How unprofessional is that The aguas frescas need major improvements The only good one is the limonada no wonder they don't have that many options probably because they don't sell
