Cream Me Ice Creamery — Restaurant in Las Vegas

A scoop of happiness in the Arts District

Amidst the vibrant, art-filled streets of the Arts District, there's a little beacon of joy that calls to anyone in need of a sweet escape: a delightful ice cream store that promises to cure any craving. We stumbled upon it after a heavy dinner, seeking a light, palate-cleansing treat. What we found was a haven of creamy, dreamy delights, proving that a little indulgence is always a good idea.

Stepping inside, the store immediately strikes you as clean and well-kept. The atmosphere is simple and serene, a quiet space that lets the colorful tubs of ice cream do all the talking. While a bit of upbeat music could certainly liven the mood and match the energy of the surrounding neighborhood, the calm is actually quite pleasant, providing a nice contrast to the hustle and bustle outside. It feels like a tranquil retreat, perfect for a peaceful moment with a cold treat. The simplicity of the decor keeps the focus right where it should be: on the fantastic ice cream.

The main event, of course, is the ice cream, and it does not disappoint. The portions are generous, with a single scoop being more than enough to satisfy. My journey began with a round of free samplings, a fantastic perk that allows you to explore the extensive menu. I tried five different flavors, and while all were solid, one truly stole the show: the Kauai Pie. This flavor is an absolute revelation, a masterful blend of Kona coffee and coconut pieces. The coffee flavor is intense and robust, a genuine jolt of pure deliciousness that is perfectly balanced by the sweet, nutty chew of coconut. It is, without a doubt, the best coffee-flavored ice cream I have ever had. It is a flavor I would highly recommend, and a reason to return on its own.

My companions were equally impressed with their choices. My son, the adventurous little foodie, was delighted with his Ube ice cream, a flavor that is as beautiful in its vibrant purple hue as it is in its sweet, earthy taste. My wife's Banana Pudding flavor was spot-on, a perfect recreation of the classic dessert with all the creamy, comforting goodness you would expect. Another in our party chose the Rocky Road, which was a flawless mixture of ingredients, with just the right balance of nuts, marshmallows, and chocolatey goodness.

While the ice cream itself is stellar, a small note on the cones: they were a little underwhelming. It is definitely worth getting your scoop in a cup to fully appreciate the ice cream without any distractions.

The service was another highlight of our visit. The staff was polite and friendly, and our server, a new employee, handled everything with impressive professionalism. His helpful attitude and bright smile made for a very pleasant experience. It is a testament to the store's dedication to customer service that even a new team member can provide such a great experience. The clean surroundings and friendly faces make this spot a true gem.

This ice cream shop is a solid and dependable spot for a sweet treat. The ice cream is delicious, the portions are great, and the service is top-notch. While the cones could be improved and the atmosphere could be a bit more lively, these are minor quibbles in an otherwise excellent experience. The Kauai Pie flavor alone is worth the trip.

Verdict: Highly recommended for anyone in the Arts District seeking high-quality ice cream. It is a great spot for a casual treat, perfect for families and ice cream lovers alike. Just be sure to get your ice...

A very small ice cream shop located in downtown Las Vegas near or in the Art District. What does that tell you, the prices are much higher here than in other parts of Las Vegas. Next, there is no free parking down here so remember you will need to “feed the meter” if you wish to stop for ice cream. You might want to consider having a bite first at the many restaurants close by and stopping here for dessert. The shop itself is well designed with a jukebox, several high tables with chairs, which transport you back to another time in the past. When it comes to options on flavors of ice cream and toppings, this location has more than enough to satisfy most anybody’s needs. As for the flavor, the ice cream is alright but not something to make you want to come back often – it was okay. I should note, none of us tried any of their homemade flavored ice cream and maybe we need to do that the next time we are here. As for the prices, well again I say, it is downtown in a trendy area so expect to pay a little more. However, the biggest issue I would have with this store is how small the portion sizes are for the price you pay. In addition, we would not recommend the donuts, you get six very small brown sugar donuts that are not very tasty, are dry and way overpriced. And the donuts do not even come close to freshly made donuts like the cider donuts you can get out at Gilcrest Orchards. Still, this is not a bad place to stop by when in the area and the employees here are very nice and patient with...

I absolutely love this place. The employees are always nice and they don't mind letting you sample the flavors before you order (thank goodness...because the flavors all sound & look so good). I was surprised to learn that they have champurrado Friday-Sunday. An icecream shop with champurrado...that's a first! I haven't tried it yet, but that'll be on my to-do list for the next visit.

I only have one complaint: they were out of the pretzel caramel icecream. This caramel is different than the one used in other places: it's thick and rich...more like cajeta. It tastes amazing! Please keep that flavor around!

I was so bummed they didn't have pretzel caramel when I went, but I guess that's the only slight downside of having freshly made ice-cream that tastes so darn good and sells out quick 😉. I'll definitely keep returning....
