The ice cream is super creamy and yummy. I lost my voice, and my kid had to make the order. Though the line was getting long, the clerk greeted us with warm welcome and was super patient. Another lady immediately opened the second register, and the line moved quickly. What a great team player. We would definitely come back after our bike rides to celebrate Thank you for the extra care today read more

Before I say anything else, there's one flavor you need to at least try: Saffron Rose Pistachio. It's decadent and savory and a journey for your tastebuds. Their menu is super varied and they have something for everyone. My vanilla honey milkshake was impeccable. Love it! read more

Excellent idea to stop and get a handmade waffle cone here. The ice cream is really special, and step above most places. I decided to try the mint chip and it is made with fresh mint, so refreshing! I got a small scoop of it with the double chocolate. My hubby ate his Mocha Almond Fudge so fast, I didn't get a bite! We choose this treat instead of lunch. read more

Treats - Treats available at the Treat. We loved all of the Halloween decor in Nevada City. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Nevada City, California

Wow what a cool city that's only a stones throw from us in Reno. We were headed to Sacramento and wanted to make a detour to check out Nevada City. I told the kiddos "we will find an ice cream shop when we get there" and boy did we. This great place is nestled in this cozy town as part of the historic area. We loved this shop as it was cozy, clean and welcoming. I got a homemade mint chip ice cream which was made with spearmint and very refreshing. My wife got the coffee flavored ice cream and thoroughly enjoyed it. The kids got their chocolate ice cream and wore half of it before we left. It's definitely worth the cost and visit. Will definitely return. read more

THE best ice cream. But those itty bitty spoons they give out to eat ice cream from a cup just plain suck.

Great ice cream and yummy coffee in the heart of downtown Nevada City. Treats is super cute cozy little spot to have dessert after hitting shops and dinner out on the town. My wife and I have been to Nevada city a couple times and we always stop in to Treats . The staff is always pleasant..... a great way to end the day! read more

This sweets & treats shop is located in a charming historic building in Nevada City (but of course!). I'm always fascinated by the crafting of the ceiling tiles in these spaces. There's always so much to absorb about the architectural details while enjoying their delicious ice cream dishes. The walls are painted in light colors, highlighted with some simple items to highlight the historical character of the interior. Since I've had to go to a non-dairy diet, I appreciate so much that an ice cream shop offers sorbets or ices made without milk/cream. Their website lists their vegan flavors, which all sound so tempting, which enticed us to try Treats. Our niece also has to avoid dairy, so she was all in for stopping by. They do rotate those flavors, so the one I wanted to try the most wasn't available that day, but I was able to enjoy a tart citrusy lemonade sorbet which hit the spot on a warm afternoon. They were short on staff for part of our visit, but the young man working diligently was joined by a co-worker who had been taking care of something in the back. They were friendly and handled the guests as quickly as possible. read more

Cute ice cream shop and many different flavors to choose from. It give me a smaller version of Gunther's vibe but I still prefer my fav place Gunther's. It's a small shop so not lots of spots to sit but if you get a spot it's a nice cozy place to eat your treats. read more

Treats in Nevada City is a must-stop for dessert lovers. Their handmade ice cream is incredible, especially the unique mint chip, which is fresh and unlike any other, and the super Oreo, loaded with rich, chocolatey goodness. Every scoop tastes special, and the service is kind and they help you make the right decisions. A unique and cute shop with Victorian feels! read more

We made it just in time before they closed. I ordered the brownie sundae with cookie and cream ice cream and was Sooo happy I did! The brownie was perfectly warmed up and was so delicious from the first bite to the last. The ice cream was perfect as well! I really liked the venue, very cute and loved the displays of items available making it easy to pick how you want your ice cream! Staff was great! Because it was right before closing they were limited on their brownies but made it happen for us still! Thank you guys!! read more

A good old fashioned ice cream shop in the heart of a gold rush town, what more could anyone want on a hot summer day!

Kind of an obligatory stop if walking around Nevada city. Line can be brutal during special event days, so prepare yourself. That being said, it is legit quality ice cream, always yummy and creamy....plus standard rainbow sherbet for the kids. I got the key lime gelato which was milky, not to too tart, and a nice refresher. Added plus, especially relative to most of the downtown shops, it's spacious inside. read more

Treats - Ah, childhood. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Nevada City, California

as cheesy as it is, treats is SUCH a treat. we did have to wait in line, but don't let that deter you -- i promise, it's SO worth the wait. when you first walk in, they have old ice cream scoops hanging i'm the doorway (such cool decor)! the menu options are endless, with tons of flavors for all ages and dietary needs (vegan, gluten free, etc.) the staff were all extremely friendly while accommodating our party of 12! Olive, Jaden, Taran, and Rhett were so helpful and patient with us, and made it such a seamless process for us to order and taste some samples! the flavors taste exactly how they should with no artificial tasting flavors. the mint chip threw us for an unexpected surprise with spearmint instead of peppermint. it was fabulous! parking is limited to street parking -- which there are so many fun shops to check out nearby, even if you have to walk a ways. no outside seating, but sitting on a curb never hurt nobody! our visit to treats was the perfect way to beat the heat. drooling over the raspberry chip ice cream reliving how fantastic it was! can't wait to be back :) read more

Was up here in December for Victorian Christmas, and stopped in for ice cream the day before. Lots of unique flavors and creations, looks like hand-created. Staff knows their stuff, was able to comment intelligently on every flavor we asked about, as well as the short history of the town and the insider "scoop" (sorry, couldn't resist) on the best hangs in town. Ice cream was really good - we had various selections of ice cream, gelato and sorbet. Next time we're up, definitely strolling over for more! read more

The art was interesting. The seating was classic olde style table and chairs. Our family had a pumpkin, coffee, rainbow sherbet/lemon custard, and cookie dough/monster cookie dough. All excellent. Service was quick and polite. We stopped by on a Thursday evening and it was plenty busy. read more

I love a good scoop of creamy, delicious ice cream, even more than the average person does. While the ice cream was good, I wasn't impressed. I prefer Jeni's or Salt & Straw, just so you know on which side of the spectrum my ice cream preferences lie. This ice cream was less creamy and rich, and the portion sizes were on the smaller side. My friends, however, said it was some of the best ice cream they'd ever had. This place holds the small town charm of a little ice cream shop, from the cute seating to the wooden floors. It's located in an adorable, quaint downtown. They have several flavors to choose from, but they only give you a certain amount of samples (it was either 3 or 5). I was searching for the exact flavor I wanted and was genuinely interested in their unique offerings, yet when I asked for another sample, the employee said that was my last one. I was a little taken aback, because she said it very abruptly. Was it a joke? Was she serious? Well, she didn't indicate otherwise, so I settled for Oreo Cookie, but the service left a bad taste in my mouth. I appreciate that they offer vegan choices. They also put rainbow or chocolate sprinkles on kids scoops, which was a huge hit for my kids. I would've appreciated more kind customer service and clear signage about the amount of samples offered. read more

One of the nicest people I've met. Clean environment. The sundae was a bit too sweet for my taste.

Best ice cream ever!! It was a chilly fall day in Nevada City but my stance is that it's never too cold for ice cream. And from the steady stream of patrons, I'm not alone in that. Located in an historic building, they made the space cozy and inviting-even including a fireplace to warm up by. Their flavors run from basic (chocolate chip) to innovative (rose, lavender and vegan brown sugar to name a few.) I got the Vegan pumpkin and it was wonderful. Not too sweet and full of true pumpkin flavor! It wasn't too heavy and a had light texture without being too icy. It was the perfect treat after a day of walking and exploring town. Great locally owned homemade ice cream. A must try. read more

The service was great, I love that you can taste the flavors before getting them. It allowed me to make sure I got a flavor that I would enjoy. The space is nice and clean with great lighting. I got the bittersweet chocolate and rhubarb swirl, they were both delicious. Definently come here to satisfy a sweet tooth! read more

The staff is so nice! The ice cream is delicious they have tons of flavors. I would eat there even during winter.

What a cute surprise, beautiful building well preserved with absolutely delicious ice cream. I tried the Lemon Custard but ended up with the coffee flavor since coffee flavor is my go to! I couldn't pass it up, also it smells amazing as soon as you walk in. The best treat to get when passing through town read more

I went to a Treats ice cream shop in Nevada City with a family member on Memorial Day. I had a vanilla milkshake. It was so good, that I had a second one. These were two of the best milkshakes I have ever had. The staff offered superior customer service, and the patrons were very friendly. The atmosphere that permeated through this shop was incredible. read more

I went with the Saffron Rose Pistachio and my fiancé got the cookies and cream. Both were super delicious! Highly recommend coming here if you are in Nevada City! read more

We didn't have any ice cream but were definitely hoping for more from the chocolate chip cookies and apple pie.

- Locale Destination - It's on coyote st and main st in Nevada city. Ambiance: cozy, roomy, cute. Lots of inside seating. Lots of outside seating nearby. Hours: weekdays - 1pm-9pm. Weekends - I hope they open more (I don't remember). Many places in this town are closed on Mondays. Menu: drinks, ice cream - scoops to sundae. Service: friendly Parking: street meter parking *** Ice cream *** Flavor quality: surprisingly high. Not as good as Bi-Rite in SF, but really high standards. 1/2 of the ice creams aren't theirs - I've only tried their own ice creams. Pretty high standards! It could be a touch bolder, but good. Flavor choices: from standards to adventurous ones you would find in SF - saffron, blueberry matcha etc. Right up my alley. Not too big (which is good), but good ones. Perfect. Some vegans. Consistency: hard, which I love. Sweetness: not too sweet, perfect. Price: $4.5 for tiny kid's scoop, $5 for 1 scoop, which is bigger than ones in SF. $7 for 2 flavors. Their own ice cream is more expensive than others (she didn't reveal the sources). Portion: 2 flavors get you 2 big scoops for $7. I prefer smaller portions for 3 flavors. Overall quality: this is surprisingly a top high-end SF level ice cream! Bi-rite is #1, and here's #2 - I've tried dozens of ice creams in SF. Pretty good! - Gluttony Expedition - Saffron, rosé & pistachios: each ingredient was not too overwhelming, nicely done. Violet: very subtle but I love those delicate flower flavors. Good. Hibiscus lemon sorbet: it was more like lemon than hibiscus. Light, not too sweet, more like lemon. Not bad. - Conqueror's Deduction - As a super finicky ice cream connoisseur, I'm truly surprised at the quality. Their own ice cream is unique and more adventurous flavors. Not-their-owns are more standard /safer American flavors. I do like it! read more

Place is good, but wish they had more consistent vegan options like vanilla and chocolate flavors.

They had a house-made basil flavor of ice cream! Ok maybe I am getting ahead of myself. This place is great, and open late! After dinner when I am on vacation, I will look up some ice cream places and enjoy a cone while walking around. I was happy to see around 9 pm that Treats was open. We waited in a moderately short line and saw that there were a lot of very unique flavors on this menu. They had a house-made basil flavor! I decided to go with a safe mint chip house-made flavor. It was so good! They also had non-dairy flavors. My fiancé enjoyed the coconut flavor. The ambiance is great in this place. They have pictures of cows, plenty of seating, and really friendly servers. I saw one of them putting M&Ms on a cone with tweezers! I appreciated him not using his hands. They have a really nice patio and are across the street from a bar where they have live music, so we really enjoyed the atmosphere. I recommend this place and cannot wait to come back to patronize them again. read more

Was so delighted to find vegan ice cream here! All the vegan flavors are made in house; there are 1-4 flavors available on any given day and are always changing, with some regular staples (all made with a coconut base). Their vegan ice cream is hands down the BEST I've ever had, in my 10 years living a vegan lifestyle! All the flavors I've had have been delicious, super flavorful, and refreshing, with just the right level of sweetness. I prefer only a bit of sweetness and find almost all ice creams to be sickeningly sweet. So far, my favorites are matcha, lavender, coconut, peanut butter, and grape. My suggestions: allow people to bring their own clean, reusable container to cut down on waste, and use more sustainable options for disposables and takeaway containers. Thank you for having cruelty-free, vegan options that don't require enslaving, exploiting, and abusing cows for their bodily secretions. read more

Great variety of locally made ice-cream flavors. Its a cute little shop with quick service.

This place is amazing! I have been there several times and tried pretty much all the flavors. The flavors are wide in variety from a typical vanilla and peanut butter chocolate to a unique saffron rose and lavender. During the covid pandemic, I was relieved to see the shop was providing masks and hand sanitizer to the customers at the front door. And I noticed that they were not doing sample spoons for flavors due to the covid-19 changes. I elected to get my favorite Mocha Almond Fudge & was not disappointed!! Always my go to!! I like to get one scoop in a bowl but with a homemade waffle cone piece. read more

How this place has a 5 star rating is beyond me. Some rude woman behind the counter snapped at me telling me I couldn't even order an ice cream TO GO because I had my dog with me. Bear in mind this was a 7 pound Yorkie I was CARRYING, and we had no intention of dining in the establishment. Now I have no intention of ever coming back, and I'll be certain to tell everyone how terrible their customer service is. Fire your workers, or at least the tool policing people who just want to get an ice cream to go. In fact, go to The Chocolate Shoppe a block over. Their workers are friendly and don't snap at customers for carrying a dog in to order. By the way, be warned. They are 100% reporting bad reviews and attempting to have them removed. read more
