East Nashville Cream And Bean
304 Douglas Ave, Nashville, TN
Crema's Take
“This charming East Nashville spot is a genuine mom-and-pop ice cream parlor where the owners know how to make you feel like family the moment you walk in—reviewers consistently rave about the warmth and enthusiasm of the staff, particularly owner Shell. Their ice cream creations are the real draw, from banana splits to custom sherbet cups made exactly how you want them, and they even offer the thoughtful touch of warming your cookies before serving. It's the kind of small, welcoming neighborhood gem that's perfect for a leisurely sit-down treat or a quick grab, with plenty of parking and a genuine hospitality that keeps people coming back.”

What a great “mom and pop” ice cream shop. The gentleman working the night we were there was so friendly, enthusiastic, and genuinely happy to see us. The ice cream was delicious.
This place was delicious. The owner we met was extremely friendly to my family. We had 3 banana splits, 1 waffle cone, and another mix I forget the name. It was about 60 for all of us. Absolutely delicious. Ice cream was good. Toppings fresh. Would highly recommend. 5/5. Was willing to accommodate my handicapped son with toys he had in the area. Again, this place is absolutely the best. Only the best wishes for their future. It's bright.
12/10 Delicious ice cream. My dad got the banana split, I got the sherbet cup. It was amazing! The guy working the place was lovely to talk to, he made sure to ask what we wanted on our ice creams. He also tried to make the ice cream look good, which looked cute! The inside looked so pretty and beautiful. Highly recommend!!! 9 months edit: Came back down to Tennessee to visit family, hit this place before we left to go back home. Still a 12/10!!
What a lovely little shop this is. It is small, but clean and everyone is friendly. We were served with kindness- she took the time to ask if we wanted our cookies warmed. As we watched her make our cookie ice cream sandwiches we learned that they serve breakfast all day, and are still updating their menu options. I am excited to come back and see what else they have to offer! We enjoyed our treats as we walked around the neighborhood. They travel well, and the ice cream especially was super tasty.
You need to go meet Shell & get some of her delicious ice cream creations. Went in for a last minute birthday treat to take to a friend On a super hot day. Quick & easy parking. Friendly service from Shell and a super clean & cute shop. I love mint ice cream so the Ziggy Special was for me! The Confetti Cake Cup was perfect for the birthday girl. Simple cup packaging, made it easy to take it to go. Close to my house so I will definitely be back!
