This place is a fun novelty, and not much more. To give credit where its due, the ice cream has a very good texture, and the flavors are tasty. I certainly do not regret giving their product a shot. The price, however, guarantees that I wont be making a return trip. Even a single serving costs in excess of $5, and all that buys you is a small cup of simple ice cream. If you want to make your treat a little more interesting, be prepared to pay for it. Every single topping you add costs $1. $1 for a small handful of marshmallows or tiny drizzle of syrup is ridiculous. This is a good product, but its just not worth the price.

The good: My sons got birthday cake and cinnamon toast crunch and they were delicious. Cool experience. Sizes were very generous, in my opinion. The bad: I got cheesecake and it wasnt very flavorful. Pricey and toppings are a dollar each. I got us all brownie bowls and the brownies were hard as rocks and stale. The store was dirty, rug filthy, trash cans overflowing, floor needed swept, napkin dispensers were empty. We went at 3pm on a Monday so not exactly rush hour, not sure why there was so much disarray.

I had a Premium with Cookies and Cream and a brownie cup. The brownie was great, but the ice cream tasted like water with cookies and cream in it. I took it back up to the register and they just looked at me and didnt say anything. I just said never mind and walked away. If it hadnt been for the brownie I would have really been disappointed. My friend also had a Premium with Birthday Cake and he said his was tasteless as well. I might try it again, but will wait a few weeks to see how the reviews go on here.

Ice cream is decent but I paid $10 for a 2 scoop cup. They charge $1 for each topping which costs them pennies. They are going to make a fortune off over charging people...so I guess good for them. I wouldnt bother. The cost would need to be reduced at least 30% to justify the product. If you are willing to get ripped off for the experience of trying nitrogen ice cream then this is your place. If you prefer to get your moneys worth on products I suggest you look elsewhere.

Its basically overpriced ice cream. There is a wow factor that my kids love though. They make each individual order from scratch behind glass while you watch. You pick out all your ingredients yourself. Then after they mix it all up they pour some liquid nitrogen into the mixer creating a huge cloud of white smoke. The kids "oooh, and ahhhh" while I dish out $9 a cup for it. The taste is great, but the ice cream seems a little more dense.

Great food but you will wait 30 min for your ice cream as the owner distracts the rest of the team from doing their jobs. The price point is also a little high for what you are getting, its no better than coldstone or similar companies but you are paying 2-3 dollars more for an equivalent product. If they could bring their wait times down it might be worth a second visit but for now i dont feel they have earned a repeat visit.

My husband and I shared the small because of the expensive price. there were plenty of options and even a coconut milk option for dairy free people. we had strawberry with fresh strawberries and whipped cream and it was nearly $8. DELICIOUS! and the liquid nitrogen cloud flows out over the counter and is cool too watch. just will only be for special occasions

I checked my daughter out of school early to bring her here... just because. She loves it. I think her favorite part of Creamistry is the sheer number of ice cream combinations that you can create. Its crazy. She also enjoys the process they use to create your ice cream. Its pretty neat. It can get expensive but it was definitely worth it.

The ice cream was pretty good, the wait is a little slow because they only have 1 freezer. My main complaint however is actually with the spoons. The spoon felt awkwardly large, not long, but large. The head of the spoon felt far to big for the small bowls the ice cream comes in. Also the cheap plastic makes it hard to get a spoonful

I love the liquid nitrogen they use to freeze the ice-cream and the ice-cream is good. They are geared more towards the appearance of the liquid nitrogen and design of ice-cream, not the taste as much. I still loved my ice-cream and would recommend it (especially for dates and a family visit)

This place is always busy! Not only because of the cool way they make ice cream, but because it is delicious. I have only found a few things I didnt like, but that was because they had coconut in them. Everything else has been delicious. It is sometimes difficult to find seating.

I personally dont like the idea of cereal in ice cream. I still dont. The ice cream is freshly frozen with nitrogen. The premium ice cream is the best. I really wanted to be able to make real cinnamon ice cream and not with cinnamon toast crunch.

This place is really great. Its more of a one time thing though , for me Atleast. Spending almost $20 for two small cups of ice cream with just drip of syrup is not worth it at all. If their prices were more reasonable Id be a repeating customer

Super great atmosphere, ice cream was good and loved the nitrogen fog cloud you get to stand in. Definitely recommend trying it out. Its always busy so be ready to wait. They seem to always be rushing you so the staff is not very friendly.

Ice cream is extremely smooth and flavorful albeit a bit pricey. The layout of the interior leaves some to be desired as it is long and narrow which makes getting by the line of people waiting to order difficult and awkward.

Tasty ice cream, you choose what base, a candy topping and more. The menu has a great variety shakes, ice cream, coffee ice cream. Restraunt was clean. The only reason it wasnt a full 5 stars because it is a bit pricy.

Youre wondering what the ice cream taste like. It tastes like Blue Bell ice cream you buy at the grocery store. Youre just paying a premium for the novelty of having it made with liquid nitrogen.

Love the chocolate chip mint. Pricy but well worth it. Nice wide variety of topings and a few choices for your base. Premium, organic, there is a jucie and water blend as well for you health nuts

I love this place...except pricing. Im going there again for my kids...but I dont know about 5 bucks for a small cup. 3.75? Ya sure. But I guess the laws of supply and demand rule....

Ice cream is really good but doesnt really stand out from other ice cream parlors around town. Interesting way to make ice cream but a bit of flavor is lost in the process.

Overpriced for what you get. Its entirely way too small for the amount of customers that they get. The baskin robbins next door is cheaper with similar quality ice cream.
