Specialties

Made to order Ice Cream prepared by using a liquid nitrogen method. The rapid freezing process provides the smoothest and creamiest frozen delights!

History

Established in 2014.

We at Creamistry are ice cream fanatics. We saw how other stores kept their ice cream in large pre-​made quantities and wanted to bring something different to the table.

Creamistry hand crafts an amazing scoop of ice cream right in front of you using high quality ingredients, including an indulgent premium base, organic to non-​dairy soy options. Creamistry’s creations are only limited by the customer’s imagination — the flavor combinations are endless.

Creamistry’s made-​to-​order ice cream is the freshest and creamiest ice cream in town.

As I walked into the store, I noticed that the ambiance is the opposite of what I expected. The staff don’t look alive and friendly. The lights and decoration were dead, as well. The noise was horrible! I was also looking forward to watch the process of making my ice cream with nitrogen, but it is hard to track which cup is yours!
Despite all of that, I tried to enjoy the experience. They have a huge number of flavors, which made me, and the other customers in line, to stare at the menu for the whole wait-​time. Since it was my first time here, I ordered a basic flavor: chocolate. For every extra thing you add to the ice cream you pay a dollar! So, adding almonds, strawberries, and waffle made the total to come up $ 8 for an ice cream! Even though it was pricy, the ice cream was creamy and delicious. We had to finish the ice cream in the car because we couldn’t tolerate the noise.
I would come back to have another ice cream but I’d have it a to-​go ice cream without toppings to avoid paying too much and to avoid the noise.

I came here earlier today for a little snack for my sister and I. The service was great, I think it may have been the manager who helped us. He noticed I was looking at the menu for a while and asked when was the last time I had gone. When I told him it had been about 6 months, he told me what was new about the menu and suggested some things.
I got the new cup thing (forgot the name :/​) that had bananas, strawberries, and nutella. It is absolutely delicious. The place is a little pricey. For two things, my total was almost $ 15. However, the portions are generous and the service was great. If there’s one thing I like, it’s good service. I’ll definitely be back.

CREAMY. CREAMY. CREAMISTRY!
Totally a fan of waiting in line and all of a sudden a cloud from making ice cream floats by you as you decide on what flavors and/​or toppings you want for tonight’s delightful dessert. I so wish that this place was in San Diego! I love how their ice cream tastes and it’s texture is so creamy. Make sure you sign up for the app Five Stars so you can collect points towards free toppings/​ice cream, discounts, etc.
The major downfall is the price. It’s super expensive for just ice cream but worth it every now and then.

Great ice cream. Always a fun experience to see the liquid nitrogen poured. It’s also very fun to be able to create whatever qwerky mixtures you desire.
Really only two downfalls for me:
(1) the price is a little high. You could pay upwards of 15 – 20 for two people which is almost a meal.
(2) on the creations options, you aren’t allowed to substitute anything. For example I order the captains breakfast and I’ve asked to merely sub marshmallow crème for Nutella and they wouldn’t do it, even after offering to up charge myself which I find dissatisfying.
Fortunately, these two downfalls will not prevent me from getting my fix here and there.

If you haven’t been here. Go here now. Like what are you waiting for? Everything about this place screams COOL, pun intended. First of all, the name, so perfectly thought out. A marriage of sweet creamy goodness and the beauty and brilliance of chemistry.
If you have kids what an awesome treat and science lesson rolled into one. You get to watch as they change liquid into solid through the use of liquid nitrogen. And the outcome? Omg mouthgasms. The cookie butter ice cream TO DIE FOR. So yes, next time you’re on second street, treat yourself don’t cheat yourself.
Oh! And they have vegan options! Coconut milk can be used as a base.

I love the variety of flavors here. I love going to ice cream places where the ice cream is made with liquid nitrogen. It so fun to see them make your ice cream right in front of you. I think it allows for more versatility with the customization of your ice cream. For example I got the Cap’n Crunch ice cream topped with M&Ms which was pretty great. It’s a great place to grab dessert after a long day strolling long beach.

VOLATILE liquid nitrogen for individualized made to order scoops?!? What what?! FTW BRILLIANT! YEAH the CHEMISTRY of Creamistry! I love the concept and the science behind it! I can’t be the only person to put liquid nitrogen or dry ice into a sealed container and placed into a metal desk drawer just to scared the pants off a friend?!? I cried laughing in the best way. Anyway when I walked in to see the massive cryogenic storage tank on the right all I could think of was KA-​BOOM! The process starts with choosing a size (small and large), base cream (signature premium, organic, sorbet, coconut vegan to cover all dietary restrictions), flavor (lots of choices, churro, taro, green tea, etc), and finally toppings (fruits, nuts, candies etc). Then the MAGIC begins with the infusion of liquid nitrogen that rapidly vaporizes into a cloud of smoke and freezes the cream. After geeking out over this process and paying a pretty penny for my scoop, I must admit I was expecting to taste HYPE. BUT I was pleasantly impressed by how CREAMY and SMOOTH the ice cream was! Strikingly different from any ice cream I’ve every tried. I’m also curious to know what the fat content of the cream used is. It was so MONEY because that cream was RICH$$… or maybe it’s better I don’t know! Quality scrumdiddlyumptious ice creamtastic!

Loved this place! Went here twice in the few days we were in Long Beach and it was great both times. I got the mint with Oreos mixed in. It really is creamier than other ice creams! I admit I didn’t believe it when I saw that, but it actually was!
Also, if you go once, keep your receipt, and go again in the next 7 days, you get 10% off! Winning.

Crack! Crack cocaine! This is what they put into their ice cream at Creamistry! No way this stuff doesn’t have pure uncut Columbian Candy in it because your boy is addicted!!! The quantum coffee is so damn good the only thing you can do during consumption is make erotic noises letting all know of the intense sexual like experience your tastebuds are experiencing. I would easily commit crimes on a federal level to get my hands on some Creamistry. My top three flavors are
1. Quantum Coffee
2. Cinnamon Toast Crunch w/​Carmel (yes you heard me right, Cinnamon Toast Crunch. They also have flavors like Cap’n Crunch, Oreos, Twix, Anko, Black Sesame, and countless others. Even options for our vegans friends)
3. Cookie Butter w/​marshmallow crème Nitro Shake.
Do yourself a favor, treat yourself to what the Angles eat in Heaven, go to Creamistry!

The Creamistry is located on 2nd street, I had seen it a few times while working in the area. The location itself is pretty nice, it has a long counter where you go and order, little puffs of smokes mysteriously drift over the counter area from the preparation area, in which they use liquid nitrogen to make the ice cream (which is cool).
We ordered two of their creations, because we hadn’t been there before and didn’t want to end up with some weird funky combination, because we didn’t order things that well together. We had Quantum Coffee and the Captains Breakfast. After ordering we sat down at a table and waited, they called me name and my Quantum Coffee came. After about 5 minutes of waiting, we asked them about our second «creation». They were like «oh you ordered something else» and started making it at that time. My partner says that what she ordered took longer to make. SO either they forgot half our order, or they just timed it poorly so one of the creations came out almost 10 minutes after the other. I might be being fussy, but I like the things I ordered to come out relatively close to each other, because they one person isn’t stuck sitting there empty handed while the other person eats.
The creations were pretty good, they seemed like a good deal compared to the create your own, and I thought they were pretty tasty, I would probably go back here, there was a lot to like about the place. Normally I would give this place a four, it was pretty good. However, I’m gonna dock them one star for the ordering snafu. I may consider upgrading them if I go back and this was a one off.

Yes they’re unique because they use liquid nitrogen to make the ice cream… but overall 3 stars because it’s super expensive ($ 18 for two ice cream) and the ice cream is super heavy after a few bites!
First you pick the base (premium, coconut… I forget the rest). The server recommended I try the premium base since I’m a first timer. For flavor, he recommended the fruity pebbles (which I love).
For the first couple of bites I was absolutely in love with my ice cream. It was pretty much vanilla with a bunch of uncrushed fruity pebbles. Then, it just became too much. I thought it would be more fluffier and lighter for some reason. The concept is defiantly cool and it was fun to try once… but overall, it’s just not worth the money.

First off, if you think this place is expensive, the small is enough for two people (unless you are the pure, sugary rich loving sweet tooth)
This place has everything.
1. It is clean. Good place to come and sit down.
2. It is friendly. There are a ton of workers there and everyone seems to love their job
3. It is fun– watching the nitrogen fly around everywhere like you’re in a science lab and magic happens with the ice cream
4. And most importantly
It is phenomenal awesome scrumptiousness
Wow.
I got the cookie butter with marshmallow sauce– one of the suggested combos-​and it was the creamiest yummiest ice cream ever!
They seem to have a ton of combos if you can’t make up their mind. But it tasted so fresh — and obviously it is since they make it in front of you.
*don’t forget to check in for 10% off!
If you want some healthy crap or pay by weight trendy stuff go to yogurtland. But if you want the real deal, come to Creamistry!

Say goodbye to your old ice cream parlor! Creamistry is here.
When it comes to cuisine innovation, this place definitely has two thumbs up.
Creamistry Ice cream and desserts that has successfully distinguish themselves amongst other ice cream stores. By utilizing liquid nitrogen, it forms the natural delightfulness of the cold cream.
The selections of cream are available in ice cream bases or nondairy products. They also have several different tasty flavors. If you feel very adventurous, you may try adding some toppings.
I came here since this place is very popular amongst the local and I am glad to say I was not disappointed. I ordered the coconut with mochi. The cream is very smooth and silky. The flavor is not too overpowering and not too sweet, depending on the toppings and flavor that you chose. The service is pretty average; there can be a long wait, it varies during rush hour.
In the end, this is a perfect treat. If you ever find yourself wondering in 2nd street of Long Beach during the summer wave, just remember there is a sweet place waiting for you.

Usually, whenever I go on a foodie adventure, I’ll have my partner in crime. But that stops when I go to an up and coming ice cream joint. Creamistry is the one place I will be coming every single day if I had that opportunity!
Creamistry is located right on 2nd Street in bustling Belmont Shore. Already boasting quite a few locations in SoCal, including their famous one in Irvine, Creamistry is coming up big on the ice cream game, and they are leaving the others behind… far behind!
The liquid nitrogen concept that they use here is one that is unheard of by most people. The ice cream tastes more original with such a concept. They do have quite the variety of flavors to choose from, as well as some of their special concoctions! On this visit, I opted for their EleMINT, a fusion of mint chocolate chip and bits of cookies! It does take a few minutes to prepare, but the end result is amazing. It is a bit pricier than most ice cream joints. But hey, what is wrong with spending just a buck or two extra just for the real and original thing!!!
Only street parking with very limited seating inside! Soon as I try much more of their crazy concoctions, as well as some of my on choosing, I’ll update my review. Till then, don’t knock it til you try it!!!

Creamistry has a nice feel to it. Bright and clean and you can see all the ice cream makers releasing the liquid nitrogen smoke. You feel like you are really are in science class!
The menu is a bit overwhelming at first with base, ice cream and topping choices. But you have time to think in the looooong line. The workers have very little personality but are not rude. They are patient with indecisive people and the process takes a while to make the ice cream but well worth the wait.
The ice cream had a nice rich creamy texture. I had the brownie bowl with chocolate hazelnut ice cream with kit kat topping! It was yum!
They also have vegan options with selections using coconut milk. My friend who has a ton of food allergies was sooooo happy!
There is very little parking in the back of the building and street parking in the front. Very little indoor and outdoor seating and since the place is always packed it is very cramped inside.
I also used my Unilocal check in for 10% off the entire order! Thanks Unilocal & thanks creamistry hope you come to Hawaii!

Came here right when it opened and split a small honeydew ice cream. They use some kind of powder cause I kept getting crunchy green sugar crystals, but it was still quite smooth and creamy. I would def try some new-​fangled flavas that aren’t offered at other ice cream places. They have lots of flavas and toppings to try, and there’s quite a few azn inspired flavas.
I def recommend honeydew though. I liked it a lot better than some other flavors I’ve tried at another Creamistry.

Captain crunch with Twix mixed in, cheesecake with Twix mixed in, and Chips Ahoy with freshly baked brownie bites on top, how can you go wrong? Creamistry, in my opinion, is far better than one of its competitors — Ice Cream Lab.
The options here are abundant, both in the ice cream flavors, the mix-​ins, the toppings, and I love that they have different base options including a non-​dairy treat. The add-​ons add up and the price ends up being high, as it does at all of these novel ice cream places, but the small portion here is substantial.
While the ice cream was great, the shop was not. The floors were dirty and sticky and the mat at the door was filthy. One of the many workers behind the counter should periodically come out and clean the store! And, they should bring the Snickers mix-​ins/​toppings back. Who gets rid of Snickers???
