Cream Bean Berry

Not sure what the fuss is but it was just ok. Maybe I’m more of a Cold Stone customer, or Ashley’s or gelato. There were unfortunately a bit of ice in my ice cream, so even though it was mint oreo fudge, I expected a creaminess to the ice cream outside of the chunks. The mini was actually a full scoop and larger than I expected after seeing their serving size. Usually, shops hand you the ice cream and you pay, but the server placed my ice in a holder and continued to finish a large order before me, so that I had to wait, watching my cone. LOL.

Visited June 2025 Everyone in Durango seems to adore Cream Bean Berry and I get it. Their commitment to the environment is front and center, from their locally sourced organic ingredients to their mission to “strive for maximum environmental sustainability in every aspect of the business.” That’s not just a tagline, it shows in everything they do. And I absolutely respect and support that! That said… I had the strawberry ice cream in a cup, and as much as I wanted to love it, I just didn’t. The biodegradable spoon they provided was a bit of a deal breaker for me. I know there are small metal spoons available (or you can BYO), but by the time I figured that out, the texture and flavor had already gone sideways. I’m all for saving the planet, and am grateful for businesses like this one who work hard to make it happen, but sadly I didn’t finish my scoop. It just didn’t taste like strawberry ice cream anymore once the spoon started doing its weird thing. Clearly a well-loved local gem with a big heart and a mission I consistently support, but for me, this one was a miss. Maybe I will try again next visit and bring my own spoon!

Will return. An average shop, relaxed; no tasting. They make the corn, which is not too common. I’ve vegan cookie and cream - it tastes like my store bought - guess I’m not too adventurous in ice cream.

Great little ice cream store with lots of vegan dessert options! They have vegan waffle and sugar cone options and 4 different dairy free flavors. They also had baked goods that were vegan (cookies, etc) everything marked well. The lemon raspberry sorbet was tasty, wish it was a tad smoother. The chocolate was nice and smooth. In downtown, so paid street parking. A couple tables inside. No samples :(

Amazing ice cream, fantastic service. I am so impressed with their commitment to sustainability. They served shakes in aluminum glass, ice-cream scoops in paper cups with bamboo spoons. Absolutely 100/10. Highly recommend this place.
