| - I had high expectations walking into CREAM. I have friends who visited the Berkeley location and absolutely loved it. I am somewhat of an ice cream connoisseur, so this was a must visit after the hullabaloo of the grand opening.
First of all, the highlight of CREAM to me is the staff. They are just incredibly friendly people who seem to love what they are doing and the customers they serve. Very few places have this level of service.
On to the ice cream sandwiches: the ice cream is not bad. But it certainly is not great. I had the cookie dough, and I think that there was one piece of cookie dough in the entire scoop.
The cookies are the true disappointment to me. They are way too hard. They're served warm, and they are still hard. This is not okay in my book. They look like they should be so soft and chewy, but they aren't. Perhaps, if they were served under a melty sundae, this would be okay. That said, the flavor of the cookies also wasn't bad, but a number of them taste very similar.
Overall, I won't be back. Sweet Addiction remains my go to ice cream sandwich shop. I really wanted to love this business, but I only love the employees.
