My family and I were in town over the weekend visiting friends and the kids decided they needed ice cream after 2 hours of hard work bowling. Twain Harte Creamery is located in downtown Twain Harte across from The Rock. Parking is usually street unless you get lucky and are able to park in front of a business. The inside is small, but homey. It could also use a deep clean, but the really fun is outside though. They have a nice patio area with a play area and jump house for the kids. You must buy something at the Creamery in order to partake in the fun though. We got in line and it seemed to more a bit slow -- we finally got to the register and ordered one Horchata Milkshake. Once we paid, the young kid at the register said it would be a little while before our order came out. As expected, it did take a while for our Milkshake to come and it was not worth the wait. Overall, I know I am a city girl and used to the more fast paced life so I will give them a little grace, plus their staff were friendly and doing their best. Rating is 3.5 stars! I'm sure we'll be back next time we are in Twain Harte! read more

The owner was very accommodating and was kind to our family. The big screen tv was super cool. There was a lot of organized chaos out front for kids, which was inviting. We were excited to try all the different items - pizza, BBQ pork sandwich, and tri-tip sandwich. We asked for the BBQ sandwiches to have the sauce on the side, but we got sauce on the meat. The BBQ was good, but I spent a OK or good amount of time wiping off sauce. The sourdough pizza was different than I expected. I love making sourdough and love eating it, but I found their sourdough crust to be a little off. I loved the cheese bread, but my kids wouldn't eat it due to the little green Italian spice. We likely will go back to give the ice cream a try. read more

Wow! This place is so amazing for families! It's even amazing not for families just to have a place to come and relax and feel like you're at home. When you walk in there are two areas for children on the right is for younger children and the one on the left is for 2 & up. The owner was so nice. He was setting up for movie night. We found some friends that we had made at the park so that was fun. My daughter loved everything about it. There was an obstacle course. There was all these different games to play that were human size. There were various places to sit and eat inside and outside. The decor was so cute. It was like a time warp Christmas/summer/fall/spring. I mean it's perfect for anyone who likes unique things and places. Everyone there was so nice and attentive. My server in the cashier Jordan was so sweet. Everyone seemed very happy there. The sourdough pizza is to die for it's hot and fresh. I haven't tried the barbecue, but I will be back to try the barbecue. The mac & cheese was yummy. And they have many different types of drinks that you can choose from adult drinks to just regular soft drinks. They also sell ice cream, which is really cool with toppings. Let's not forget all the cool Sasquatch decor, and theme! It's so beautiful because the trees are everywhere and you can smell the pine. So many good memories to make here at this establishment. My daughter and I will definitely be back every single time. Thank you for giving us core memories and a good experience. read more

First time visiting Twain Harte. WHAT A CUTE TOWN! Stopped by this cute establishment for a late lunch. They make sourdough pizza. We've never had sourdough pizza and it didn't disappoint. (Homemade dough) As the owner insisted this type of pizza won't make you feel heavy like your normal pizza dough--she was right. (Concur with another reviewer that it was a tad bit too much cheese for our liking--so we couldn't eat as many slices as we wanted to. ) The bottom had a firm crust but the center didn't "hold shape". We ordered a small half Hawaiian/ half pepperoni. (They only have small our Large pies.) The small was more than enough for my husband and I. (See pic) We also added a garden salad. (This was ok. Nothing special. ) Owners were super friendly and helpful. Really took time to chat to us and make our visit memorable. She also showed us pics of her 3 dogs and they are so cute! We definitely would come back! read more

Great food and ice cream. My kids had a lot of fun playing there. They even have a separate area for small kids.

Long story short- GREAT FOOD AND SERVICE. Loved the Mac and Cheese and tri-tip. Long version- This place is a hidden gem! You wouldn't think a creamery would have amazing BBQ but it was delicious. My wife and I were greeted by the young man up front as soon as we walked in. He gave us a great recommendation for the Tri-Tip sandwich. This seemed to be a family business which was great to see. Veteran owned! The owners came out and talked to us and asked us if everything was good and how we liked everything. Very friendly. Service was great. There was outdoor and indoor seating and food was delicious. read more

I've been there twice. Each time with a different friend. The Pizza was cooked perfectly, and I loved the amount of toppings and CHEESE... Very accommodating. Everyone is so friendly. I love that they have activities for the kids.. I will definitely go every time I'm in California. read more

Absolutely delicious ice cream. Loved every lick of it. We always enjoy it; many amazing flavors. We came there this past Friday night for their free movie at 8pm. So amazing sitting in the tree grove, eating and watching. We ate the sourdough pizza and buffalo chicken salad. The chicken was phenomenal, flavors incredible; just wish the salad greens were a bit more fresh. Pepperoni pizza was delish, with a medium crust, soft, and crispy pepperonis. We had so much fun at their movie night and I hope they do it again soon! Service was great too! Amazing spot for food and desert. Can't wait to try their home made Mac and cheese and chili! read more

We had a large half Hawaiian and half BBQ Tri-tip pizza. And it did not disappoint. Heidi came out to check on us and we found out that she makes everything in house. Pizza crust is a sourdough homemade crust. Sauces? Homemade. Toppings for pizza? Made in house. Doesn't get any better than this! They also have the cutest little shop. We will definitely be back! read more

We only stayed one night in Twain Harte and the creamery did not disappoint.

Twain Harte Creamery - Menu - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Twain Harte, California

The 13 year old kid who works here is going places. He had the best customer service I've seen in a while, way better than a majority of adults I've interacted with in customer service positions. He is so friendly, and very knowledgeable of the products they serve. I ordered a an iced lavender matcha latte, which was delicious. It came with light ice which I appreciated so much, because so often iced drinks are mostly ice. This place is the best for kids! They have a few different sitting areas with tons of kids activities. We have a very active 2 year old and he had a blast playing here. We will be back to try more food options! read more

Really wanted to like this place... would give the service 5 stars and the wonderful ambiance for kids and families the same. But sadly the food just didn't live up to the expectations set by the other reviews. We drove out of our way after a long day on the slopes, so it was just sad that it didn't satisfy the hungry bellies as I'd hoped. Ordered a pizza and half a rack of ribs with chilli and salad. The pizza could have been soooo much better if it didn't have soooooo much cheese + had it been cooled off a bit for the dough to firm up. Sadly it was served like one gloopy, oil soaked mess that was very difficult to handle. I tried to pick off as much as we could eat. The toppings were good (kids loved the sausage) and the crust hinted at a delicious dough (had it baked enough). Overall though disappointing :( Ribs were okay. Salad and chilli were good. I really want this place to continue getting a ton of business as you can tell how much heart and soul has gone into making it a homey place for visitors. But I also want to make sure folks get a balanced view of the food. So definitely try it but have realistic expectations. read more

I'm absolutely disappointed me and my family went to get dinner and waited over an hour and a half for our 3 plates then they only came out with 2 and forgot about the 3rd. Then when we get it the portions were little, cold and not worth our time or the money.. Also the whole time we were there let's just say the experience was one I have never had before. (not in a good way). Definitely not worth the $100.00 + tip for 3 meals. Do better! read more

Great food, anazing service and as always the place is comfortable and nice. Everyone is so helpful and everything is fresh and tasty !!!!

Having read so many great things about the pizza here we decided to give ourselves a rare treat. Really was looking forward to a proper sourdough pizza. Unfortunately it fell very short of expectations. Way too much sauce and cheese - it just turned into a globby mess. The first slice was unmanageable. Everything just slid off the dough. I saw many photos that had a fair amount of toppings ours did not. It was very spartan. I'm hoping the left overs firm up once it cools in the fridge because eating a in unmanageable slice off a single paper plate was not great or even worth the 45$ for a pizza and 2 beers. The staff and grounds saved this review from being worse. The staff was very nice and helpful. The grounds are very friendly and inviting but have far too many "no dogs allowed" signs. Come on they are our fur babies and go where we go. There was a great smell coming from the outside smokers but we did not try any product. So in summation (bad) the pizza was mediocre at best. To many no dog allowed signs. Kinda expensive (Good) friendliness of staff and overall appeal to families with kids. Varied unique meal offerings. Great place for a special treat out. (Possibilities) the smell coming out or the smokers was reality inviting. Smoked (bbq) something will be in our next visit. home made ice creams looked spectacular. Asking the staff what's good? Didn't wow but would like to explore a bit more has possibilities read more

Twain Harte Creamery - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Twain Harte, California

All signs and Facebook page state they open at 12:30pm. They are not open and next door business says "they open when they feel like"

it's a little hard to tell if it's open from the street but what a nice little jewel. It has some of the best pizza you'll eat in the county. They make it with their sourdough crust, which they've had the starter for 36 years. The pizzas were out of this world and the ribs were phenomenal. The owners are very personable and provide very good service. You really should give it a try if you're in Twain Harte. read more

When I arrived, there was just one family ahead of me in line. Not a crowd by any means but I still waited about 10 minutes just to order. The sweetest teen ran the register but he was going all around, he was clearly overwhelmed and we all waited patiently for him. He was a one-man show, sweet and on top of his game. Props to him. While a line formed behind me, another staff member came by, asked if we'd been helped. "Not yet." But bro just... walked away. No follow-up, no action. We all kind of exchanged that "Umm...ok?" look. It really set the tone for my experience. They were out of popular menu items -- which I only found out as I was trying to order. I decided on a Polish dog. The kid asked what toppings I wanted but since they're not listed anywhere he rattled them off like an auctioneer. Not knowing what to say I said, "Whatever's on the menu photo." The ice cream flavors weren't listed anywhere either btw. But the kid knew them! Then came the wait. I sat on the patio and watched people come and go while my daughter played on the bouncy house. I knew I was in trouble when a group of young men walked in about 30 mins after I ordered and left before I received my food. My Polish dog arrived after **45 MINUTES**. I kinda hope they forgot about me bc how can they explain that otherwise? The Polish dog looked nothing like what was on the menu photo. Pretty sure I was catfished! Not even sure it wasn't just their hot dog. No diced onion, tomato, cheese on a poppyseed bun. Instead I got a basic white hot dog bun, rough chopped onion big enough to startle a horse and cherry tomatoes cut in half. Toppings were bigger than my thumb. Presentation was a mess and it was hard to eat without it falling apart. My bun was soggy that it had no structural integrity anymore. While I was eating , my daughter was served a kid's scoop of ice cream by the sweet kid that talked like he was running for mayor-- and it was a totally fair size. I went back for my own small scoop, and this time the guy from earlier served it. It was literally the same size as the kid's scoop, but cost more. When I asked why, his response was "Yeah, they basically make them the same size scoops anyway." So why charge more? I think I would've felt better if he just said it costs more 'cause life ain't fair and neither is this creamery. Also -- they had a bouncy house, which is fun in theory, but they made me sign a "waiver"... except they were out of waivers, so they just had me write my name on a piece of blank paper. Ain't no way that would hold up in court, or even a PTA meeting. Bottom line: I wanted to love this place. I thought I'd be in and out like a ninja with a sweet tooth but the disorganization, lack of clarity, and long wait times were just too much for a simple Sunday afternoon in a quiet vacation town. The 1 star was for the kid and 1 for the games for the kids to play to endure the incredible wait times. read more

We found this place on Yelp and are so glad we gave it a try! We ordered two pizzas and the brownies for dessert. The only regret? Not adding ice cream to the brownies--lesson learned for next time! Both pizzas were fantastic, but they disappeared so quickly we didn't even get a chance to snap a photo of them! That says it all. The food was delicious, and the service was just as great. Friendly, and welcoming. Looking forward to coming back soon--especially for those brownies (with ice cream this time)! read more

FACT: Only pizzeria in Tuolumne County making REAL sourdough pizza. No preservatives, traditional fermentation makes it 98% gluten-free naturally.

Made a phone order to go for a pizza and the person on the other end of the line was very friendly! Got to the place and the staff continued to be very inviting and friendly. The place was small but had enough space to sit inside and outside. They had equipment and storage in the main seating area. Feel like this was just because the whole building was small. Now for the pizza. Crust was okay. Toppings were okay. Feel like there was too much cheese for the style of crust (On the thinner side). The crust was crispy which was nice. I feel they could clean up the pizza making technique and you could probably make this place a 4-Star. Good to have in Twain Harte. read more

Our new favorite spot in Twain Harte! We got three pizzas, the apple salad and the cheesy garlic bread--ALL DELICIOUS!!! We could not get over how good the dough is. It was so obviously freshly made and so was the bbq sauce, ranch, and pizza sauce. Just the food alone earned this place five stars but it has so much more to offer. This place is great for the whole family! There were games for the kids to play and the area is entirely fenced in so I felt safe relaxing and enjoying myself while they played. Food came out fresh and hot and pretty quickly considering the number of people ahead of us! Highly recommend! read more

The service from the young boy at the front was fantastic! He was so sweet and so patient! We had seen photos of this place and had high hopes but the food looks nothing like the advertisements. The mac & cheese was boiled noodles with shredded cheese and the pulled pork wasn't very good. The bbq sauce was amazing though. The outside game areas were a blast and super fun to play. read more

Must have been an off day for us but we had a pepperoni sourdough pizza and it was just meh. The crust/dough was not good. She was working alone I think and turning out phone orders as well as walk ins but we could not even finish our slice ( my family of four) each tried one. The ice cream was good though and the fun family activities out front were a nice touch so our kids could play while we waited. Don't expect fast food here. Everything was made to order and the staff was kind. I'll continue my search for good food in this area. Wish me luck! read more

Pizza is DELICIOUS. Love the crispy sourdough crust. Ice cream was also good. Service is exceptional - everyone was so nice and everything came out quickly. We loved that they had plenty of space for kiddos to play and run around while we ate too. Even a jumpy house when we visited that was free for kids to play in! And fun halloween decor too! read more

great service. awesome people. Great lighting . Great ambiance. the food was superb. The pizza was hot and fresh

Stopped by this charming place after hitting the slopes and was super hungry. We ordered a tri tip sandwich and small sourdough pepperoni pizza. Sandwich comes with a side (I ordered chili) and soda/water. Tri trip was nice, smoky, and with bbq sauce that had a nice kick to it, all on a nice and buttered french roll. The pizza was the highlight because it was made with sourdough and large pepperonis. Staff were super nice and attentive. There's a couch lounge area that was decorated for Valentine's day, which I thought added a nice touch to the place. Will stop by here again whenever I'm nearby. read more

We ordered their ribs which were amazing. Delicious! Call ahead to reserve a rack. They do run out. It comes with sides. Cole slaw and all sides we ordered were great. Everything made from scratch. We then came back for the pizza on another visit. Sour dough pizza dough was perfect. So was the pizza. Owners are passionate about their cooking and it shows. Seating is limited inside. Spacious outside seating. Twain Harte Creamery is a great find. read more
