Crema's Take
“This Winston-Salem spot transforms ice cream into an interactive experience by freezing custom creations right before your eyes with liquid nitrogen, giving you genuinely creamy results and endless flavor combinations to play with. The staff genuinely cares about making your visit special—they're known for friendly recommendations and making the whole experience feel like visiting a local gem rather than just grabbing dessert. Whether you're meeting friends, bringing kids who'll be mesmerized by the nitrogen magic, or hunting for dairy-free options, Chill Nitro feels like the kind of place where the community gathers and the people behind the counter actually want you to have an amazing time.”

The absolute creamiest ice cream I have ever had. I highly recommend to anyone in the area. They have diary free options as well! Such an amazing place. If I could give 10 stars I would!! The staff is so kind and helpful and the place is such a chill spot to just hang out while eating your ice cream. I will be back for sure!
We had the best experience at Nitro! Caroline is lovely. She provided friendly prompt service and gave us lots of recommendations of things to do in the area. The kids were mesmerized by the made to order ice cream! Each of our creations were delicious and we‘re having a hard time choosing a favorite! We can’t wait to come back! Thank you for creating such a bright and lovely space in the heart of Winston.
Very cool local gem! Chill Nitro has TONS, and I mean TONS, of flavors and combinations to choose from to make your own custom nitro-chilled dessert. Or, you can choose from the super impressive and creative options they have already perfected! For the 21+ crowd, add a shot of your favorite liquor and it can be mixed and frozen into the ice cream! ( I didn’t know you could do that🤯) The owner is very friendly and creative, so if you’re not sure what combination would be good, she can give some really good suggestions. They can use various dairy or dairy-free options for those looking for specific products to make it GF or Vegan, etc. They have themes and host special events, too! We were very glad to have stumbled upon this really cool ice cream shop and are already planning for this to be where we bring friends and family when they pass through Winston-Salem!
i live in Louisiana but took a little side trip to winston salem when i was up in charlotte for a few days. the staff is SO kind, hardworking, and love providing for their community! even if u dont like ice cream, they have sooo many other options, like specialty drinks and pastries! they do fun theme nights like bingo and trivia also. chill seems like such an addition to the community and i wish i lived closer!
This was my first experience at Chill Nitro, and nitrogen frozen ice cream in general. I enjoyed it, although it was a bit pricey for two small ice creams. However, it was most certainly “dessert and a show,” as the freezing of the ice cream is done by nitrogen being pumped into Kitchen Aid mixing bowls where your ingredients have been placed. The process was very cool to watch, and most definitely different than any other ice cream shop I have been to before. I got cookies and cream ice cream, and my friend got Cheesecake ice cream. The texture of my ice cream was nice and creamy and smooth. However, her texture was off a bit, and it seemed icy. I am sure that is due to how it was made, but mine did not seem to have those characteristics. I think it was a good experience, but it was a bit pricey for ice cream. However, since a small portion was pretty large, I don't think you would need more than that.
