1 star: Never again.
2 stars: Poor food, poor experience, extraordinary measures in order for me to come back.
3 stars: Average, nothing really special, nothing particularly bad.
4 stars: Very good, would definitely return.
5 stars: A favorite, one of the best.
Another liquid nitrogen ice cream joint. Taking over fro the now-closed Sub Zero Ice Cream out in Gilbert, Creamistry is the new kid in town.
Nice atmosphere. It was hoppin on a Friday night and the line was long. 4 liquid nitrogen spouts and blenders, but only two were being used. Not sure if that's because they were understaffed or if they weren't working, but the wait would have easily been cut in half if all the blenders were working.
I got cookie butter with walnuts and the wife got the black sesame. We both got the premium cream base. The black sesame was awesome. Super rich flavor from both the sesame and the cream, it was decadent. The texture was pretty perfect.
Mine was over melted, maybe from over-mixing. So much so that the worker that handed me my ice cream ran it under the liquid nitrogen again for a second to try and save it. The texture sucked. It was on its way to melting too quickly. The flavor of the cookie was also really, really weak. Nothing close to the Trader Joe's or a straight up speculoos.
So the black sesame saves this place. Definitely going to go back and give it another try, hopefully with someone more capable finishing up my ice cream. Though my wife says the premium cream is too rich (she's going to go for the organic milk next time), I loved it. Super creamy, it had the heaviness and mouth feel that one would expect from heavy cream.
