Cream

This place brings a smile to my face. Tonight was my third visit and the best yet. The company can’t help the long lines (apparently Wednesday nights are the time to go because there was almost no line) but they can help their attitude, and that’s been great.
The first time here was also the busiest I’ve seen it, not to long after it opened. The staff was frazzled but keeping on top of things and in good spirits. Tonight the two ladies working were the nicest I’ve met yet, friendly, helpful, clear communicators.
The cookies are good, many of them better than good, and the ice cream is of good quality. My wife doesn’t like I’ve cream sandwiches but if l is happy with just getting a scoop out two. My son likes toppings and is happy with their selection.
Most everyone I know likes ice cream or cookies, so it’s a safe stop for most groups looking for something good and sweet.

This is the one of the only places I know of that does gluten free/​vegan desserts, so major propsfor that! I finally got around to giving CREAM a try, and it’s pretty good! They had three options for both gluten free cookies and vegan ice creams, which was great. I tried the double chocolate cookies with soy mint chocolate chip ice cream. It came to $ 5 for two large gf cookies and soy ice cream. The cookies are a little too soft, with a kind of sandy consistency that sticks to your teeth, but they’re plenty sweet and chocolatey and made a good counterpoint to the fresh mint chocolate chip ice cream. I think the ice cream tasted better than the cookies, but they taste better together than either alone. Great concept, and yay for alternative options! ^o^

what’s not to love!
hot cookies and yummy ice cream!!!

Nice ice cream and cookie place. Friendly helpers. Lots of flavors and more upscale than 31 Flavors. I had their chocolate malt and it was delicious. $ 6.

This location is larger than the Berkeley location.
Awesome thing about this place is that I love how it’s open late for the sweet tooth in you. In the heart of DT Livermore :)
They have soooo many varieties to chose from but I decided on my go-​to Snickerdoodle. &&&& I decided to go with the Soy Vanilla. It does have a different flavor, just sayin’. But I wanted to try a lil’ something different.
If you are curious as to what the flavors of ice cream taste like, you can ask for a sample, they will happily oblige :)
When I was waiting on my friend, they had this CUTE little «sandwich holder» at the register where you can put your CREAM sandwich down while you get your wallet out of your purse. SUPER AWESOME IDEA!
While I was waiting, I eyed this Vegan Banana Chocolate Chip Cookie. I KNEW I HAD TO GET IT! They warmed it up & everything for me. I loved it! I totally recommend it!
Great service & open late for you night owls :)

Ice cream sandwich chain store located in downtown Livermore. They are located on Railroad Ave next to Livermore Cinemas, across from the parking garage. They have very minimal indoor seating, but there are several benches nearby outside.
My family and I came here on Christmas Eve for some dessert. You basically pick your cookie, ice cream, and any toppings you may want. They have a fair assortment of flavors and variety, and I also appreciated that they offer regular and mini sizes — their mini size is perfect for me!
Service was friendly, and the ice cream & cookies were tasty & reasonably priced, but nothing out of this world. The cookies were pretty hard & tough, but I guess they need to be in order to hold the ice cream together. Their cookies and ice cream flavors were also a bit too sweet for me.
It was fun checking them out, but I prefer BJ’s pizookies!

An average ice cream shop. Definitely better than other franchise ice cream shops but Cold Stone is still leading (love that place).
I tried here «ice cream sandwich» (two cookies with cream) and found it too sweet, had only few bites, couldn’t eat the rest. They bake cookies in the house; ice cream bought or made somewhere else.
Favorite flavor — roasted almond ice cream.
Prices — good.
Parking — no parking, you need to park a cross the street in a public garage (no charge), but finding a space might be challenging.

You know there’s that one place that always let’s you down but you continually think ”I’ll give them another chance”? Well CREAM is mine.
A Girlfriend has wanted to come here for some time and while in Livermore we decided to stop by before heading home. I came in with somewhat low expectations and STILL got let down. Ok, so the staff were friendly enough and they do have a great selection so my friend and I both order Cookie Sandwich to go. Great! We’re going to have some delicious Dessert. Right? Wrong!
We were so busy talking that I didn’t get to start eating my Sandwich until we were well away from the store and I look down at my Dessert to see a very obvious black hair smushed into the side of the Ice Cream. I was completely disgusted and wasn’t going to walk back to the store so decided to simply trash it vowing to never go back again. But not before breaking off a small bite of one of the Cookies though which I was surprised to find marginally better than the last time I visited. It was warm and soft but still nothing to write home about, in fact Safeway still have better.
So, I trashed that Cookie Sandwich and headed to Menchies where the only extra topping I got in my frozen treat was one I added myself.

Where else can you get a fresh cookie ice cream sandwich?
This place is brilliant even offering gluten free cookies.
The cookies are fresh, you can mix them up. They have lots of ice cream flavors so it truly is custom experience.
At $ 4.00 it’s a great place!
Enjoy!

A nice concept. And pretty good execution. My only complaint is that the cookies could possibly be a little less sweet so that the ice cream doesn’t get overshadowed.
Otherwise I think that the food is priced right, and it’s a nice little spot to go to to grab a quick ice cream sandwich.
In fact the quality of the ice cream is above par. It ain’t no Hagen Daz, but it will certainly do for an ice cream sandwich.
I would definitely come back here. Take my 3 star review with a grain of salt, maybe I’m getting too old and things seem overly sweet to me.

Cool little place have a variety of desserts but they are best known for there ice cream sandwiches. They are good, one scope with two cookies was a perfect combination. Cookies nicely cooked and then the ice cream was very soft and a perfect match for it. Definitely have to try some more combinations of cookies and ice cream!

So Cool!
My first time going and how lovely! I avoid dairy as much as I can and they have vegan cookies AND ice cream. What an enjoyable experience to share with people who can eat dairy. ha!
The cookies was alright but the ice cream definitely makes up for it. You would never know you were eating dairy free ice cream.
There is plenty of seating for many people and overall a great place.

Cream is SOOOOOOOO OVERATED!
Don’t waste your time or your hard earned money!

There was a hype about an ice cream cookie sandwich and I think I’m a little late on hopping onto that train.
Well, conveniently, a friend and I met for sushi nearby and craving me a little sweets sweet, I Unilocaled and Unilocaled provided! I have heard about CREAM and was curious enough to make the trip.
They had a pretty wide variety of ice cream choices (~15+) and maybe about 10 different cookies. I went for a white chocolate macadamia nut and red velvet cookie with a banana walnut fudge ice cream in the middle. The ice cream was pretty delish but the cookie was definitely the sad part of the package. It was unfortunately hard and not chewy, warm, and soft like I was hoping.
If you’re in the area, definitely grab an ice cream scoop or two! But the sandwich part just didn’t take the cake. (Did I use that saying in the right context?!?) :)
Happy Ice Cream Slurping!

For a Friday night during the summer, it would become really busy and the quiet as the crowds descended into Cream.
I ordered the Turtle cookie (chocolate, caramel and peanut) with the Peanut Butter twist ice cream. It was only missing bananas, then it would be Elvis approved!
So the hot cookies melted the ice cream a little, which always makes a small mess while eating the sandwich in the paper sleeve. The cookie and ice cream combination is sweet and salty, which is what I like. When you get half way through the sandwich, you need more napkins, but still delicious.
After seeing the photos, I will have to return to try other combinations, like snickerdoodle with chocolate mint ice cream or something else.
The best thing was the sink, after finishing my sandwich, I needed to clean my mouth and mess hands, as the paper sleeve was soggy at the end.
Great sandwich and so many combinations! Give it a try.

This past weekend was one where I finally make it over to places that have been on my radar. We passed by the Cream in the Mission but was too full to stop in after our post Book of Morman late snack, then we missed out on the grand opening of Cream in Oakland as we had tickets to a play in Orinda. Finally having tickets to a performance paid off as Cream is practically at the doorstep of the Bankhead Theater in Livermore.
After an early dinner, I picked up my tickets from the box office for a Keiko Matsui concert as a gift for my husband and had an hour to kill before doors open. So since we skipped out on the $ 7 dessert at the restaurant, we got 2 ice cream sammies and a free Unilocal check in cookie from Cream! You have an option of doing a traditional ice cream sammie for $ 2.99 where you choose your cookies (you can mix and match top and bottom), then your ice cream flavor. Toppings are an additional 75 cents. If a sammie is too messy, you can always get traditional scoops and add a cookie on the side.

We first went to Cream in Berkeley a few years ago because it had RAVING reviews on Unilocal.I remember the line being miles long, but we didn’t care because we knew we were in for a treat.
We passed by this location recently and had to do a double take in disbelief. Cream finally expanded out this way?! DIVINE. Thankfully, there is parking in the garage across the street (or on the street as well). So park that car and go get ice cream!
I love that Cream has vegan ice cream options… that is rad and so important. Basically, you can customize your order to just about anything. Choose your cookies, choose your ice cream, choose your toppings and indulge. It is all really tasty, and I don’t think it is possible to order a «bad» flavor. Also, take advantage of the free samples and try something new!

Cookies really do rule everything around me!
Well, not really.
But this ice cream shop with cookies and toppings is pretty cool. Leave your diet at the door and open your expectations to a very special treat. This is playing with your food in a fun and creative way that will take you back (well at least for me) to childhood when being carefree and creative with food was fun and calories didn’t matter.
I don’t care about the long lines, obnoxiously loud music, teens working behind the counter, etc. Really, this is not a regular stop. But when I am here I know I’m in for tasty fun!

Barely a line on Sunday at 5pm, probably because of the weather and everyone’s still eating dinner. They finally have pistachio ice cream! I ordered my usual carnival m&m cookie sandwich with mint chip ice cream (sometimes traded with green tea) but I got a half sandwich this time since my cousins and I just came from Menchie’s frozen yogurt 5 minutes away (dessert foodies, what can I say?) My cookie was so warm and moist! I loved it! For some reason, the half sandwich was much messier than the whole.
Customer service was great! Kinda confusing sometimes though because multiple employees can help you with your order (more than one sandwich) instead of one person handling your whole order. This probably happens more frequently when they’re not as busy. Saw some shirts on sale displayed behind the register– I’d definitely want to get one next time.
Check in on Unilocal for a free cookie with a $ 5 purchase (not valid on vegan or gluten free cookies).

It’s nice to see more CREAM locations popping up everywhere. This in in particular has plenty of space and seating that is located further in the back with a flat screen on the wall.
We all know how messy eating our perfect combination of cookies and ice cream can get. At this CREAM you won’t have to leave with sticky hands because they have a sink open to their customers to wash up.
No need to drive around looking for parking. There’s free parking right across the street. I was a bit disappointed that their ice cream sandwiches here are $ 3 instead of the $ 2.50 that we’re all used to paying. It’s all about the location is what the cute girls told me. I paid in cash and it was $ 3. I’m guessing paying with debit/​credit will cost $ 3.50?
CREAM in Livermore and Palo Alto are my two favorite locations.
