Absolutely love the ice cream, but the staff here just isn’t friendly at all, which is very off-putting. It seems as if they detest every interaction with their customers while exerting only a cursory effort to hide that fact, but completely failing to actually do so. Wish the customer service matched the quality of their ice cream.

Twas our first time going here and the ice cream sure did deliver! The sweetness level is just right and the texture of the ice cream is really good. Smooth and creamy. If youre looking for a good ice cream, visit this place! I got the small scoop sampler (peppermint, Cafe au lait, bittersweet chocolate torte and roasted pistachio) theyre all equally good. Happy that they have a sampler though, its hard to decide when they have so many flavors to choose from! The lavender and creole cream cheese is great as well!

Delicious ice cream and friendly servers! So many unique flavors with vegan + dairy-free options too. We loved the mini-scoop samplers…perfect for the indecisive. Highly recommend!

Today Creole Creamery celebrated 16 years in business! They had $1.00 single scoops of ice cream and $2.00 double scoops! I love the variety of flavors. The lavender is my absolute favorite! The ice cream is smooth, rich, and creamy! Its exactly what ice cream should be! This is definitely the best ice cream shop in the city!

Visiting from out of town we wanted a local neighborhood ice cream shop and this is it! Excellent selection of creative ice creams like Black Chai, Bourbon Milk Punch, Creole Cream Cheese and Olive Oil & Sea Salt, in addition to all your normal flavors. We ordered Sundaes and they were fantastic. Friendly and happy staff made it a treat to go there. It is cash only.

My husband and I are new to the area and I chose this place for our after-dinner date night dessert stop. I tend to go towards hazelnut and coffee ice cream flavors but I was wanting something a little more refreshing so I got the honey lavender. I’ve tried lavender ice cream before and although you would think it of it as a pretty mellow flavor, quite a few places over do it and it ends up being pretty strong. Creole creamery was spot on, though! It was SO good. The perfect amount of lavender and honey to make it sweet yet still refreshing! My husband got the hazelnut toffee flavor and loved his as well! We had initially decided to trade our ice creams half way through but after trying our own, we were hesitant to do so 😂 we did trade, though, and ended up loving each other’s flavor just as much! Needless to say, we will definitely be back to try out some other flavors we had our eyes on!Update: we have now gone here on three separate occasions! We usually try one new flavor and order one other scoop that we know we enjoy just in case! Each time has been a pleasant experience and for the most part, we’ve enjoyed just about every flavor we’ve tried! We also appreciate that the flavors change up occasionally while others remain consistent (that way we know which ones are seasonal that we should try and which ones will be there for our base flavor each order)!

Great ice cream thats consistent with the other locations. Selection is smaller than the Prytania location. Parking is tight and limited. There are a handful of tables. My favorite flavors are cafe au lait, chocolate amaretto cheesecake, and petit four.

After a day of bad food experiences this was such a breath of fresh air. Staff was engaged, we got to sample the flavors, and the ice cream was dee-licious! Whether unique flavors such as golden milk or a chockwork orange or traditional such as vanilla, this ice cream shop has just the scoop or specialty sundae for you!!!

This was the last stop on our vacation and it was the cherry on top. I chose the creole cream cheese and it was a creamy goodness. My cousin had a magnolia one and it was very vibrant and lovely.

I was disappointed that there was no seating inside, but I understand the COVID restrictions. However - it would be nice if they put a few seats in front of the building, we had to stand in the parking lot eating our ice cream on a cone (obviously dont want it dripping/spilling in my car). My husbands fudge a la mode was by far the best item on the menu - I would go back for this next time. It was perfection!

Amazing ice cream! Flavors just burst in your mouth with every scoop! I dislike chocolate ice cream, but the Mexican Hot Chocolate was incredible. I came here from north Louisiana just to try the Lavender Honey... this place does not disappoint!4 mini scoop sampler: Lavender Honey, Pear & Balsamic Caramel, Mexican Hot Chocolate, and Goat Cheese and Mission Fig (with waffle cone pieces)

Incredibly creative flavors and so lovingly made. The place is spotless and the Covid protocols are strict. The lemon and chocolate doberge both had big chunks of cake in them. So delicious! The magnolia flower tasted like spring. And the creole cream cheese is sweet and tangy. This location has fewer flavors than Freret, but still has more than enough variety to capture your fancy.

Loved it! Very interesting flavors & I didn’t have anything that was bad. My husband & I both did the Mini Scoop Sampler & we agreed our 2 favorite flavors were PB Fudge Pie & Black & Gold Crunch... honorable mentions Ricotta (Surprisingly good!!), Petit Four, Cookie Monster, Blueberry POP Pie... I had read a lot about the Creole Cream cheese but it was a little too plain for my taste... the girls working were super nice & helpful, & had good safety precautions in place!

Review №47

It was pretty good. I cant quite articulate this well, but a lot of the flavors of the non-chocolate ice creams I sampled tasted alike. Almost as if the base ice cream is the same, and the flavors are more like essences. Maybe thats how ice cream is actually supposed to be..🤷🏽‍♂️.Kinda like flavored seltzers that all have the same underlying carbonation with just a hint of different flavors.

Great ice cream, excellent, excellent and expedite customer service. Im from out of town and was very impressed with the service received from the 2 young ladies that worked last night July 8, 2019. The line was endless and these ladies was handling things with a sense of urgency with no help... Management should recommend or just give these two ladies a raise with bonuses.

For an ice cream lover like me, this is one of my favorite places to go for ice cream! I live by the one in Lakeview and I would say me and my family visit the place every week, sometimes more than once and we always, always have one or two pints in the freezer - so I guess I should say that I am a very regular costumer.The great thing about this ice cream: not only their ice creams are delicious, but they also have a lot of seasonal flavors which keeps it very interesting and refreshing. They have the regular flavors like strawberry (very good!!) chocolate, chocolate chip mint and so on, but they also have their unique special and famous staples like the cookie monster, lavender honey, black and gold crunch (one of my favorites). But then, they surprise you every week with a new and very inventive flavor! Most of them delicious - take a note: matcha white chocolate, chef’s perfect chocolate (you jave to try this one!!) peaches&creme fraiche, earl gray, summer fig and the list continues. Another great thing, they are not overly sweet so you can taste every flavor as it is!If you’re an ice cream lover, please give it a try!You’re welcome!

Its not my favorite but its a classic spot. Cash only. One of the few spots for real ice cream in the area. Cash only.The area is small inside and outside isnt great. Not an amazing ambience and it gets crowded.The service is friendly, quick, and fun. The ice cream has amazing variety of flavors and great options!! Its hard to beat if you want real, local ice cream.

This is the best ice cream in the city. There are alway whimsical flavors that suit all. The flavors are rich and divine. The last flavors I had were Lavender Champagne and a scoop of violet. It was just amazing. The flavors are created in house. If you like wild, eclectic, show stopping flavors that no other ice cream shop is selling.....this is the place.Also they are cash only! Enjoy...it’s a great treat!!

The ice cream, oh my goodness, is so good!! You can tell its handcrafted as soon as you taste it. I normally go for the sorbets or the sherbets but with this place, I will try any of the ice creams because theyre all good. Theres a sampler where youll get 5 different scoops of ice cream so I normally get a chance to try different flavors that way. Make sure you bring cash because I believe this place only takes cash. Its definitely worth it!!

Review №94

My wife and I got stationed here a few months ago for the military and found creole creamery which we really enjoyed. We became regulars. The ice cream is always really good. There is one guy who is a super friendly employee and the rest could use some chik-Chik-A cheer.After a couple months of going there we found out they have a military discount. So from then on when we would go we would get the military discount. Two days ago we go in and they say they dont have a military discount. We said we use it all the time and the manager said the owner quit giving it for military but that first responders like firemen and cops still get a discount.If a place doesnt have a military discount thats fine, but to revoke it and say its only for first responders seems ridiculous. For the general public the ice cream is creamery and good, but I was just put off by the new policy.
