Crema's Take

While iScream specializes in handcrafted, organic ice cream rather than coffee, this Berkeley favorite on Solano Avenue deserves a visit for its remarkably inventive seasonal flavors—think lavender honey, spiced apple cider sorbet, and Meyer lemon—all made with a richness that keeps customers coming back. The team here genuinely cares about the experience, whether you're ordering a classic cookies and cream or adventuring into their more unexpected creations, and they'll cheerfully customize your order with thoughtful toppings and fresh waffle cones. It's the kind of neighborhood spot where skilled, patient service and genuinely delicious treats create an irresistible reason to stop by.

Terrific ice cream and friendly service! I had the Pink Guava and Meyer Lemon. Both perfectly creamy and flavorful. The young man serving was kind and patient, efficiently making the waffle cones while customers pondered their tasting spoonfuls.

Such great flavors. Best cookies in cream we’ve had in a long time. Their seasonal flavors were also surprisingly good. It’s hard to make a good floral iscream but the lavender honey was smooth and delicious.

I’d heard so much about the handcrafted, organic iScream on Solano that I had to stop by. Ordered a strawberry scoop on a waffle cone—and since they no longer do half-and-half scoops, the server was kind enough to add a little salted caramel on top (the other flavor I wanted). I also sampled the honey lavender and marzipan—absolutely divine! Generous scoops, outstanding flavors, and wonderfully friendly service.

Oh my goodness these flavors were SO rich and satisfying! I tried the spiced apple cider sorbet - it’s just like it sounds. Very autumn-y : ) I also tasted the cookies and cream and the crème brûlée. I ended up getting the maple walnut and the coffee and cream scoops. Can’t wait to come back and order ALL of the flavors! Love that they change seasonally.

Delicious, indulgent ice cream and friendly, skilled service. I went in for a treat at the end of the week and got the chocolate waffle cone with two scoops and an Oreo cookie crumble topping. So good. The cone was expertly prepared, with a careful coating of Oreos on the top, and served in a special frame. It was just perfect. Looking forward to another treat for myself.
