CREAM — Restaurant in Berkeley

One of the best things about Telegraph and Durante street are the places to eat on a budget. When you are on a budget and want to get your sweet tooth fix then you go to CREAM. The times I've passed CREAM there was always a line and this time there was a line which grew exponentially once I got there. The anticipation was killing me because the smell of burnt sweetness was wafting through the air, what a tease. Got to the front and man I felt rushed. I had so many questions and I was hoping I can try some of the ice creams but I can feel everyone's eyes on me. The people in front were super patient and nice.

I asked for a chocolate chip cookie and snicker-doodle cookie with vanilla ice cream. The cost was $2.50; to me that is about 83 cents a piece when you look at it that way. Once I took a bite I was sold!!! $2.50 for what you get at cream is like winning a raffle, semi-life changing. I wish I didn't wait to long to take a bite because the ice cream hardened the cookies a tad bit -__-

CREAM is worth every penny and there are so much combinations you become determined to try a little bit of everything. On a hot day, an East Bay weather kind of day, or even on a cold day CREAM is a worthy place to get your ice-cream-cookie...

Update: As a family owned biz, they care. I had a 2 star review on yelp because I didn't care for it... they wrote me, thanked me for my thoughts, told me they cut sugar down 15%, and wanted any other thoughts. I am highly respectful of some place that takes user comments seriously... even if I was sassy and a bit jokey. So even though I really didn't enjoy the spot, much respect to a business run by people who care.

Otherwise... JUST DO THIS AT HOME! =) For real. Unless you stumble upon this place late at night, I can't imagine the necessity of reading these reviews, then going out to visit it.

This is like being hit in the face with sugar. I am not sure why the bay area is slobbering over bad ice cream with zero nuance, but this reminds me of the craze for humphrey slocombe.... it's nothing but an insulin spike that you forget about in 20 minutes.

Find your fave ice cream, toast up an eggo or some of your fave store bought cookies, and do it at home.

Unless you're drunk and wearing sunglasses at night, this is likely not the place for you. Every other review proves me wrong, except every other review might have been a drunk person with obliterated taste buds and absolutely no penchant...

Speedy yet yummy custom ice cream sandwich shop on the corner. The cookies are delicious and fresh - like hot out of the oven fresh. Which can be problematic when paired with ice cream. So you need to eat it on the spot.

Okay, so this is a franchise, but I can see why! I wish one would open up in my 'hood. You can choose any flavor ice cream and pair it up with any flavor cookie. Only $2 for a sandwich.

Ice cream flavors are: Strawberry It's a Goody Banana Walnut Butter Pecan Coffee Almond Fudge Cherry Vanilla Peanut Butter Cup Cinnamon Caramel Mint Chocolate White Pistachio Ultra Chocolate Coffee Blast Soy Mint Chip Vanilla Bean

Cookie flavors are: Chocolate Chip Double Chocolate Chip White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Oatmeal Raisin Peanut Butter Butter Sugar Turtle Snickerdoodle Carnival (M&M) Capuccino

So in high school math we learned the formula to determine possible combinations. For instance, how many unique combinations can one create with different factors? It goes something like x! with x = the number of factors. Therefore 14 different ice cream flavors and 10 different cookie flavors gives you....
