Petals Creamery — Restaurant in Los Gatos

Histamine Intolerance sufferers rejoice if you can tolerate pistachio! The saffron ice cream was delightful and the clean ingredients didn't set off the usual reaction of hives, brain fog, etc in my case. The choice of using agave and/or honey as sweetener combined with high quality ingredients makes this a must try experience. Their Panna Cotta was very good and didn't set off any reactions either. Sadly, the Saffron Creme Brulee wasn't a hit with my SO or myself. We are both huge Creme Brulee fans typically, but it had almost a chemical aftertaste. Perhaps it was tainted by the torch? Regardless, we couldn't get past one bite each and I reacted to it as well. 😕

We have visited several times and will continue to do so! So excited to try whatever they come up with next! 😄 I've recommended this new local gem to a number of friends and family members as well. There are gluten free options too.

On one visit, we had the opportunity to say hello to the chef. The staff has always been extremely pleasant and easy to deal with... so appreciate that. The noise level inside is generally high unless you manage to visit at a slower time, if there is such a thing lol. If that's a problem for you, there are some places to sit outside.

Beware, if you have a tree nut allergy... lots of pistachios, almonds, and limited ice cream options. I normally lightly react to almonds, but surprisingly Marcona Milk didn't seem to be a problem and it was nice to try something different.

Kudos to Petals Creamery for turning out such high quality real food options! Nice addition to...

Petals Creamery isn't just an ice cream shop; it’s a revelation for anyone who cares about what they eat without sacrificing amazing taste. What sets this spot apart is their uncompromising commitment to using clean, local, and organic ingredients that are transformed into frozen masterpieces right within the shop. ​The attention to mindful sweetness is a huge differentiator. Instead of conventional sugars, Petals uses low glycemic index sweeteners and the subtle, natural sweetness of real fruit molasses. This dedication means you can truly indulge in rich, creamy ice cream that feels far lighter and healthier than the typical scoop. ​But the real magic is in the flavors. If you're looking for something extraordinary, the Saffron ice cream was truly out of this world. It's a rich, aromatic experience that you won’t find anywhere else. Similarly, the Pomegranate ice cream was a masterclass in authentic taste—it genuinely captures the deep, tart, and refreshing flavor of real pomegranate. ​Petals Creamery is a must-try. It proves that delicious, decadent desserts can also be made with...

I stopped by this creamery recently and was blown away by the saffron ice cream – absolutely amazing! The shop itself has a great vibe, and it’s wonderful to see so many young kids working there and gaining experience. Very sweet group of people and beautiful design. I highly recommend.

That said, I did notice something that took away from the otherwise lovely visit. The store manager, Aveline, came across as quite unfriendly and seemed very bossy toward the young staff with rather unfriendly body language and tone. It created an uncomfortable atmosphere, which was disappointing given how warm and inviting the shop itself feels. I even asked if the owner was around so I could share this feedback directly, but unfortunately, they weren’t there.

This place has so much potential – delicious ice cream, a great setup, and a team of eager young employees. It would be fantastic to see a friendlier and more supportive vibe from the manager to match the sweetness of...
