Creamistry - Houston

Creamistry offers a distinctive and wonderfully creamy texture in their ice cream. Each creation comes loaded with toppings and your selection of whipped cream. I highly recommend the cookie butter flavor—it's simply the best!

The Affogato was too watery and spilled over. The whipped cream on top seemed out of place and made it quite messy. It tasted more like an overrated cold coffee rather than a rich espresso paired with creamy ice cream. The Mango Sorbet was just okay.

My friends and I visited this restaurant for the first time, and we were unsure about what to order. The staff member who assisted us seemed impatient while we looked over the menu. Despite this, we proceeded with our order and asked a few questions, but they made us feel as if we should already know everything about the menu. We went ahead and ordered anyway and even left a tip. However, when our ice cream was served, the staff didn’t even make eye contact with us. While enjoying our dessert, I accidentally dropped my spoon and went to get a replacement, but none of the seven employees present offered to help. I should mention that we were the only Black patrons in the restaurant. On a positive note, the ice cream was delicious, but the service definitely needs improvement.

I was really impressed by my experienceHonestly they seem about on par with other specialty ice cream places and offer about the same or even more than some. I've been going around town to different places, so I have a grasp on current pricing. What got me was how crazy creamy this stuff was. I didn't eat it all right there and by the time I got home the melted version still had that thick and creamy texture that I was really enjoying. It makes me want to experiment to try to recreate that texture without needing the nitrogen. I certainly will be back.

Recently I had an insatiable craving for ice cream so I stopped into creamistry for a midday treat and science lesson! Yes, science...they use liquid Nitrogen to chill the cream and create your mix! According to their store signage the nitrogen reaches a temp of -321°! On the day of my visit, you could clearly see the nitrogen arm frosted over. Creamistry has a variety of toppings, combinations, and bases including two dairy-free options. Create your own is available and outside a combo toppings are 75 cents each. I opted for the premium dairy option (despite my lactose intolerance) and got the Sea Salt Caramel while my friend got the cashew milk Strawberry Bond! It was a good treat, on par with your Coldstones, Marble Slabs, although with a wider variety of toppings and combos.
