Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth in San Mateo
CREAM is a new family parlor in San Mateo creating a new twist to ice cream that will satisfy any sweet tooth with award winning ice cream flavors sandwiched between freshly baked, warm homemade cookies. The smell of freshly baked cookies takes over as soon as you walk into CREAM, leaving your jaw open and your taste buds craving the sweetness that surrounds you.
CREAM recently opened its sixth chain in downtown San Mateo. Owner, Fadi Shamieh, said he’s ready to wow patrons with the delicious ice cream sandwiches he and his family grew up eating. Like many others, ice cream and cookies are nostalgic for his family and were a centerpiece of any festivity. The parlor serves as an opportunity for every person to relive their childhood and enjoy a simple yet delicious and comforting treat. The Shamieh family operates their business on 4 principles: premium products, affordability, delightful service and atmosphere.
Visitors can devour original proprietary blends like cinnamon chill, cup of joe, royal caramel swirl, strawberry cheesecake and salted caramel ice cream sandwiched between freshly baked warm oatmeal raisin, peanut butter, snickerdoodle, cappuccino, macadamia nut or butter sugar cookies. There are over 1,000 creative combinations between the 16 different premium ice creams, 10 types of fresh homemade cookies and various toppings. CREAM also offers soy ice cream, vegan and gluten-free cookies, milkshakes, floats, malts, brownies and even offers ice cream Taco Tuesdays.
Insider Tips:
Bay Meadows Concierge, Stephanie, recommends you try the coconut ice cream with Oreo cookie crumbs between butter sugar cookies. Enjoy $1 off tacos and two FREE toppings between 8 PM and 10 PM on Taco Tuesdays!
