The Mix Creamery

There’s not many unique ice cream flavors. The donut ice cream was ok, donut should be more warm.
I had the banana and lychee ice cream, it was okay and for $ 5 one scoop not worth it. Where’s the pistachio !!!

Great concept. Terrible execution. They don’t make their own donuts so that could explain why ours tasted stale. It was more like eating very sweet ice cream between a bland burger bun. Service was meh. Gave one more star for «unique» flavors.
Expectation: Warm crispy donut filled with cool creamy ice cream.
Reality: Nope.

The Mix Creamery was fairly busy when I attended. The ice cream flavors there are different and interesting!
I got a single scoop of Thai Tea ice cream in a sugar cone, and it was filled inside the cone as well.
It’s reasonably priced, and it’s worth the money! I would definitely go back to this dessert place!

I love the quality and flavors of this place! It’s a bit expensive but so worth it! The people who work here are always super nice and let me try all the different options — something I would suggest since all the ice cream flavors are so unique and delicious! The bobasaur is my favorite because it tastes just like milk tea! The razzberry cheesecake is really fruity and sweet too!
Every flavor’s ice cream is soo creamy and rich. Also, the portions are absolutely huge! You can easily split 1 scoop with a friend.
Also, checking in here gives you 1 free topping!
Overall, one of the best ice cream places!

— lots of flavors to choose from.
— 2 girls behind the counter, friendly service.
— clean inside.
— some seating.
— get samples first.
Ordered: the mix… taro ice cream doughnut (5ish). What I expected — delicious.
Tip: use Unilocal check-​In for unlimited toppings, thanks Unilocal!
Would come back again.

I saw the Unilocal reviews and had to go even though I was full.
We got the ice cream doughnut sandwich. After checking into Unilocal I got free unlimited toppings. The ice cream I went with was cookie dough with some cinnamon toast crunch.
Somehow through sorcery after cutting the doughnut in half then Adding scoops of ice cream they somehow warm the doughnut up without melting the ice cream… mind officially blown
It taste like it sounds, amazing.
Best part besides flavor was the price. I thought two doughnut thingys for $ 10 was a reasonable price for what you got.
If you are in the area a must try.

Meh. I was really excited to try this place simply because it offered something I’ve been dying to try: donut ice cream sandwich. I was disappointed.
I thought the donut was underwhelming. I even upgraded for glaze and it tasted old/​stale. It actually fell apart pretty quickly even though I ate rather quickly.
I give this place 3 stars for the ice cream. Lots of flavors and seemed very fresh. Skip the donut.

Finally, a great ice cream place in the area. Their thing is donuts + ice cream. This place had great flavor infusion in their ice cream.
Step 1: Decide on how many scoops you want
Step 2: Cup or Donut?
Step 3: Glazed or not? Not Glazed was perfect for my adult palette.
Step 4: order!
Cost: 2 scoops + non-​glazed donut = $ 6.30
These ice cream flavors work for the adult palette. The ice cream isn’t too sweet and there are so many adult flavors, many of which are Asian-​inspired.
I wanted to try everything…
** Guava — The bf and I chose this for our donut. This wasn’t too sweet. It was the perfect amount of creaminess and guava flavor.
** Monkey Droppings — Banana and chocolate chip
** Sticky Pig — Maple bacon ice cream — chose this for our donut; I wish there was more bacon in this ice cream.
** Blueberry Mint — great, but not for me.
** Matcha Green Tea
** Viet Coffee
** Thai Tea
** Salted Caramel
** Lychee
** Stout
** Birthday cake cookie dough
** Cookies and Crème

Unique flavors such as blueberry mint, Thai tea, Vietnamese coffee, monkey droppings, sticky pig, etc. You’ll have to taste test these but I tried about 5 different ones and they were all good.
I’ve tried the donut ice cream sandwich at Afters in SoCal (the originator of these things?) and I like this one more. The donut is more dense and contains the ice cream better.
While I liked the flavors, I wasn’t a fan of the really creamy, almost elastic texture. It’s a small, nitpicky thing though and I’d still come out here for the ice cream. The line can get long so be ready to battle the soccer moms.

Glad to try this place. The servers were very helpful. It was our first time and needed some help figuring out how it all worked.
We tried a few flavor before deciding on the Matcha and Chocolate ice cream. We opted for the glazed, upgrade, donut. It wasn’t a bad choice. I personally enjoyed their ice creams because they were true to their flavor and were not too sweet.
I thought the donut was going to be warm, but it was cold by the time I had a bite. Maybe I should’ve taken a bite the moment the server handed it to me.
We were lucky to go early and get a seat. By the time we started with our order, there was a line up behind us.
The kids loved the donut and toppings. I also liked the simple and open setup.
Overall, it was a good experience for our family.

The Mix Creamery brings the idea of Afters Ice Cream a bit closer to home.
The Mix Creamery is definitely a place to go when you’re hankering for ice cream out of the normal flavors category and they let you kick it up a notch by putting that ice cream in that middle of a donut. For their glazed donut, you can only choose one flavor but for their plain donut you can choose up to 3 flavors I believe. I chose 2 flavors — sticky pig which is maple ice cream with bacon pieces and Vietnamese coffee — with fruit loops as the topping while my boyfriend got their glazed donut with birthday cake ice cream in the middle.
Service here was really friendly. They’re in the middle of remodeling so when my boyfriend and I came here, their ice cream flavors weren’t really written yet so we had no idea what all the flavors were but the workers were kind enough to explain some of them to us.
There’s a good amount of seats in this place for you to sit at and enjoy your dessert and my boyfriend enjoys their wooden wall saying it was a nice photography area.
Overall, I’d be down to come back.

First and foremost I love this place. Especially being in the Dublin/​Pleasanton area, this place is extremely unique. They have «asian» flavored ice cream like bobasaur, vietnamese coffee, taro, thai tea, etc. What makes this place even more original is … ICE CREAM DONUTS. I’ve never ever come across another place that does this, so it was pretty much love at first sight. You can get 1 or 2 flavors inside your donut. Donuts come in the options of french cruller or glazed. The servers are incredibly friendly too.
We ordered a mixed ice cream glazed donut with taro and thai tea with condensed milk on top. This was hella bomb.

The Mix Creamery reminds me of CREAM but with a donut instead of a cookie. Its a nice idea to have ice cream in between a warm donut. The staff are nice and very helpful and you can to sample as much as you like. You have the option to select from 37 different toppings so the combination for your perfect ice cream donut mix are endless.
I went for the sticky pork (bacon ice cream) with original donut with butterfinger topping. It was a pretty good mix. She got the salted caramel with original donut which was also good. It may be a bit pricey for some but to me everything looks cheap when you have money so… yeah lol

My two favorite desserts all in one! An ice cream filled donut will have your sweet tooth craving moreee! Its a cute little shop that serves a variety of ice cream and a choice of a plain donut or a glaze cruller donut.
I got the plain donut with thai ice tea ice cream. They toasted up the donut and added powdered sugar on it and it added a nice sweetness to the donut. It wasn’t too sweet overall and it wasn’t as messy if you were eating a cookie ice cream sandwich.
Staff was really nice and helpful, and you get to sample the different flavors of ice cream. Prices are a little steep for a donut and ice cream. I wished they had a more variety of donuts (maple glazed, chocolate, etc.).

Ice cream? And donuts? Yes, please!
Happened to be in the area with my daughter for a gymnastics meet. She saw this, and we thought, «Sure! Why not?»
We split a 2 scoop mix (donut ice cream sandwich). Daughter got birthday cake cookie dough. I got dulce de leche.
O. M. G! Delicious.
The only bad thing is that they are not closer to where we live.
Or maybe that’s a good thing.

I’m pretty sure this popped up somewhere on my weekly Unilocal Elite Friday 6-​Packs, so thanks Steph for the rec because The Mix definitely delivered! Saw this place and immediately bookmarked; then on the way home today from running errands, I inadvertently passed it and decided I was going to have to stop in, even if it meant undoing the gym time I just finished. I mean, mash ups of the dessert world (e.g. Cronuts, cruffins, macaron ice cream sandwiches – really kind of a bad idea, sorry, tangent!) have been all the rage so why not make a baby out of donuts and ice cream? Two classic sweets make a DONUT PANINI ICE CREAM SANDWICH. Bam.
Warm toasted donut bun on the outside with cold ice cream topped with a variety of options inside. But wait, how? Apparently they have a machine with the mold of the donut and space where the ice cream will occupy so that it heats the donut part but minimized heat to the ice cream spot so that you get the best of both worlds. But of course, science dictates the ice cream should melt inside… and it does, but not as quickly as you’d think.
Still, the Mix (what they call a donut + ice cream) is a yummy treat that I kind of liken to funnel cake. Maybe because the donut is topped with powdered sugar instead of glazed. I thought it might taste good being glazed too! Perhaps there will be an option for this in the future. But the way they have it now let’s you feel a little less guilty and taste your ice cream flavors more. You can opt to add two or three ice cream flavors in your Mix but I wouldn’t advise it, seeing how the ice cream does melt if you don’t eat it fast and the flavors can meld into something weird. One mix was way big with a huge ice cream and next time I would opt to share one. They will cut in half for you.
The ice cream flavors are solid and unique, and I’d come here just for ice cream too! If you check in on Unilocal,you can add free toppings to your Mix creation. The place is clean and cute… a nice hang out place but not too busy during a Wednesday afternoon. Fine by me as I hate lines and I got a chance to chat with the servers, who are super friendly about offering samples and getting you what you need!
I would say my main gripe is the container used to hold the Mix creation… we’re given a wax paper pocket to try to eat this monster and it gets kind of messy. I wish there was a cleaner container or holder that would make taking this to go more of an option. Prices are also a little steep; a little under $ 10 for 2 of the Mixes. But at least the ice cream flavors are unique so maybe that’s what you’re paying for, along with the carefully warming of your donut in contrast with the cold ice cream. That being said, I still can’t wait to come back and try more! This time we had bobasaur ice cream with fruity pebbles in a donut and another one with salted caramel ice cream. All their flavors come out pretty bold and I will definitely come back for more!

Take $ 5.00 and come here for a fresh warm donut ice cream sandwich with toppings.
A good selection of house made ice cream to sample and choose for your sandwich. The donuts are from a company down the road.
After you make an ice cream selection they slice a plain soft donut in half and place a large scoop inside. Since you checked in on Unilocal you get unlimited toppings. (I didn’t want to be greedy so I just picked 1) Then they place it in a machine that warms the donut and keeps the ice cream cold. Gotta love technology that can do such a great thing. It’s then handed to you with a light dust of powdered sugar on top. Absolute heaven in your hand.
I devoured the monkey dropping ice cream (banana with chocolate chunks) crushed peanut butter cups topping with Hubs help.
The employees were friendly. The gal that helped me explained the whole processes and gave me her combo recommendation. I made sure to leave a cash tip. The place has seating and was clean.

I really hope they open up other locations in the East Bay… preferably near Lake Merritt, one block from where I work. Or, y’know, have a pop-​up location right outside my house. Whatever works.
I came here with some members of my youth group on a Sunday night and we all really enjoyed ourselves. Well, all but one. One of the guys has an egg allergy and the people working behind the counter weren’t able to access the ingredient labels to find out for sure with ice cream flavors had egg in them. He had to miss out, but took it in stride by telling us he was going to be healthy. (I heart my youth)
Props to the employees here who were super patient with my gaggle of junior high and high students. They took the time to hand out multiple samples, answer questions, and deal with some pretty precise topping instructions, lol. (I heart The Mix Creamery team, too)
After reading through the reviews, I knew I was going to get the Vietnamese coffee ice cream even before I walked into the store, but I also wanted another flavor to fill the donut. I’ll admit that I was a little turned off by the «monkey droppings» title, but when a couple of youth vouched for the banana and chocolate ice cream, I decided to go with it. I know that there’s a check-​in deal for unlimited toppings, but I only wanted gummy bears.
I’m so glad that the donut and ice cream flavors, at least the ones I got, weren’t too sweet. The Vietnamese coffee was pretty spot on in strength, and the monkey droppings was delightful (almost better than Chunky Monkey… almost). Even though I didn’t eat dinner beforehand, I had to split this with another student; their scoop sizes are no joke!
All in all, I know that I’ll be back for more ice cream «mixes» in the not-​so-​distant future.

New creamery… YES!
Trendy Donut Ice Cream Sandwiches… YES! (of course we’ve all heard and seen the pics from Socal, but this is the first of it’s kind up here)
So of course when we get here we have to try «the mix». The famed Donut Ice Cream Sandwich. You can choose as many scoops as you like to put in it (extra charge of course) but one scoop is plenty. The more ice cream you put in it the harder it will be to eat. For the single scoop you can do Half and Half if you insist on trying multiple flavors (of course I did). Prior to choosing you can sample the flavors too. they have a few interesting ones like bobosaur (milk tea flavor), monkey droppings (banana flavor ice cream with chocolate chips), thai tea, viet coffee, and a plethora of other flavors.
I ended up with the mix filled with bobasaur and Vietnamese coffee with a topping of heath bar. Once the donut is sliced in half ice cream added in toppings… (you also can add syrups if you like) it is then placed in a panini esk machine where the donut gets warmed up and topped with powdered sugar.
I recommended splitting the mix with a buddy. My coworker and I both got one and it was more than enough. If i don’t have someone to split it with I will probably just grab a scoop or two of ice cream. The donut wasn’t overly sweet so the combination with the ice cream, especially the coffee and tea flavors was perfect. Since I didn’t share it was totally sitting heavy in my stomach afterwards. Best regret ever? It was delicious but it is definitely is a lot to take in, (good bang for your buck, $ 4.87 for the mix). Also, when you check in on Unilocal you get a free topping.
I totally see this place getting super busy and trendy especially during the spring/​summer time when the weather heats up.
Not sure if the worker that helped us was the owner but she was super nice and patient with us as we tried pretty much every flavor haha. I think they have plans to expand if this location does well, which I think it will.
YAY for new ice cream place.
*Bring hand sanitizer. or wet naps. Does get a bit sticky and messy when eating the mix.

So recently I have noticed on my Unilocal app when I am looking at the activity feed, random «hot new» businesses will pop up to look at. One day, I saw a place called «The Mix Creamery» pop up. Against my better judgment, I clicked on it.
When I saw some of the pictures, I was confused. Was I looking at a bagel with HELLA cream cheese? Then, my brain clicked. Those were pictures of DOUGHNUTS with ICE CREAM sandwiched between it!!!
You know, you really cannot make this shit up. After drooling over the pictures, and realizing how close it was to my hotel, I decided I HAD to pay a visit. I was glad too, that it opened at 11AM. Again, by then, 11AM is like my midnight for those who work «banker’s hours».
I pulled up, and headed in. Looking rough, they must have thought I was coming in to rob them. More like eat all of their ice cream! They welcomed me, and asked if I had been before, and how I heard about them. I told them I found them via my Unilocal feed, by chance! They were glad, and gave me the rundown (BTW, take advantage of their Unilocal check in offer, which gives you free toppings– save you 75 cents!). They also told me they make all ice cream in house. Hell yea!
I had been planning my first ever doughnut ice cream sandwich thoroughly, for quite some time. I wanted to make it special and somewhat simple. Thankfully, they had all of the ingredients. I rattled it off to them– one scoop of vanilla ice cream, caramel, and bacon on a doughnut. A few moments later, my edible Picasso was created.
I paid with my corporate card (I just HAD to, after all of the grief my bosses give me for the junk food I eat) and they use an iPad based software which makes it easy. I sat down (which the place is a cool little shop with a few tables) — stared, took pictures, and gave this thing its last rites.
A few moments later, it was forever gone. It left me speechless. As in I was confused, now what? Where do I go from here? Believe it or not, it was actually filling. But against my better judgment (again), I went back to the counter. They were describing their flavors to me (as some of them are ultra creative– like «monkey droppings» or «fruit loops»). I saw «bobasaur» which they explained was the ice cream version of bubble tea. After seeing «thai tea» next to it, I got a 3 scooper with those, plus «Vietnamese coffee».
Let’s just say my body wasn’t used to this amount of dairy. I paid the price, but it was well worth it. If Thai tea is your thing, I highly suggest mixing that with bobasaur. It literally made me homesick, as it reminded me of my all time favorite «Thai Iced Tea w Boba» back home at Sweet Hut Bakery in Georgia.
This was one of those epic things that I do not know can ever be created again. What this place started is something truly special, and I kept telling the people behind the counter. I hope this spins off to something huge.
For all of you adventure seekers, this place is not to be missed!
