N2 Creamery – Nitrogen Infused Ice Cream

Ice cream is bomb — service not so great

Thanks to a bogo coupon, we stopped in and tried the frozen yogurt version of their infused «ice cream.» We are hooked! The flavors, serving size, price, and customer service are the best. Try the waffle cone. It’s the best I have had in a long time.

Impressed! I ordered vanilla yogurt base rocky road (my favorite flavor). The process to make it is very labor intensive but quite a show! The flavor is very intense and very much worth it!

Wonderful place to enjoy a unique ice cream to order! We will be back again and again :)

First time here tonight. It was meh. Ordered the salted caramel 6oz and tasted zero salt. Tasted like just caramel ice cream. Wifey got coffee Heath bar 6oz and said it was ok. Daughter got small strawberry with gummy bears and she loved it, but she’s 4. Total for all of us was about $ 18.00.
The service was excellent and staff was very friendly. Place is nice inside and very clean.
We’ve been to A La Minute several times, which is unbelievable. Probably won’t come back here again.

I stop into N2 Creamery quite frequently for a bit of ice cream with my friends after practice.
The quality is very, very good. Nitrogen Ice Cream is the way to go if you want excellent Ice Cream. My personal favorite is the Cookies n’ Cream. Delicious!
My only concern is that the price seems a little high for what you’re getting. Though I understand that the probable cost of keeping the nitrogen mixers running is quite high, I just wish that the prices were a little better.
All in all, a great treat after a hard workout!

Amazing! Love that they have options for a base like coconut milk and yogurt for us non dairy folk. Great mix-​ins too!
Not terribly priced for what you get. I mean how cool is fresh made
Ice cream!!! Will be coming back and bringing friends!

First visit and it was amazing. It’s pretty labor intensive for the employees so don’t be in a rush. Watch the TVs inside for special flavors they may have. I only read the menu board and there were other options. It was so worth the wait. 4 first timers and everyone was over the moon with what they got. It was the creamiest ice cream ever. We all got the vanilla based ice cream. This place is AMAZING!

Pretty good taste. Benefit is that they have a good amount of toppings for ice cream.
BUT
Too expensive for what you get. I used a coupon or a check-​in (forget which one) and the price still came out to $ 6 and some change for one ice cream with two toppings.
Location is good for customer (not sure if good for business). Kind of a low key shopping center.
Not too big of a fan of this Nitrogen infused ice cream. Had a weird taste. Kind of like a la minute but not as quality flavor.

4.5 stars
This review is based on a hot Saturday afternoon after having a filling lunch and strongly craving ice cream. Found this place purely on a Unilocal search with my brother and cousin. Arrived here around 1 pm. There was only one other customer inside. This place was very neat and clean. Colors everywhere and chemistry themed wallpaper were a nice touch. Staff was friendly and explained how everything worked.
You can create your own cone/​bowl etc or if you couldn’t decide, there was a signature creation section from the menu. I couldn’t decide what to create so I had their Sea Salt Caramel Truffle in a cup, single scoop. By the way, a single scoop is still pretty big so it makes up for the price. Might get pricey if you add more toppings/​syrup, so I didn’t add any. It’s good as it is.
I’ve had nitrogen infused ice cream once elsewhere before but it was lackluster and the nitrogen tasted really made it awkward. With that said, N2 Creamery was WAY better than the previous place (I don’t remember the name but they were from 626 night market). The «frozen-​ness» of the nitrogen REALLY helped keep the ice cream from melting. When I got towards the middle and bottom of my cup, it was still a nice cold solid. This is what nitrogen infused ice cream should be about. Taste was great and I loved the texture of the truffles.
I’d come back when I’m in the area.

Love that this location is one of the closet nitrogen ice cream shops in the area. Many others are twice the distance and in busy areas.
I had the choco banana and cookies and cream! Both were what I wanted in flavor. Cookies and cream is a classic and pretty much you can get it anywhere but everyone has the taste of it different. The chocolate banana was good served with frozen bananas.
I am happy with the products that made to order fresh. The amount of what you pay is fair IMO. Unless your a lard and want quantity I suggest you just go to a grocery store and buy a tub. The servings here a perfectly made to socialize and enjoy some time with great ice cream

N2 is located in a little shopping strip with a free parking lot. The ice cream here is delicious. It’s also a pretty interesting experience watching your ice cream being made. It starts in liquid form and then they mix it with nitrogen and it somehow becomes this delicious ice cream deliciousness. The process is pretty fast (although not as fast as scooping already frozen ice cream) and you can actually taste the difference. I’ve had the salted caramel one and the cookies n cream. The cookies n cream is by far the best in my opinion. All of the workers are also friendly, which makes it even better. The prices start around $ 4 for a small and increase for the larger sizes. They are very generous with the portions so even a small scoop is satisfying.

This place is very unique. They make their ice cream in front of you. with nitrogen!
Though I wanted to like this place A LOT, I have to say I was a little disappointed. My 3 friends and I decided to split a large cookies and cream mixed with rocky road ice cream. Though the portion was HUGE and the guy who served us was super friendly, the ice cream itself was mediocre-​it wasn’t as smooth and was WAY too sweet. I also tried the macadamia nut ice cream which was alright too. This place is more cool for the experience than the food!

Overpriced and underwhelmed.
The whole nitrogen process takes forever and the outcome wasn’t that flavorful. We got the animal cookie and the Nutella-​knock off and they both came out too creamy — almost like butter — weird. I’m not sure how you can bland out chocolate and hazelnut — but apparently it’s possible.
With an add in or two each, and at the smallest sizes, we came close to spending $ 16 — FOR ICE CREAM!
Sorry to the nice teens working there, but this place is ridiculous. Even cold stone is cheaper and tastier. Not coming back.

I love this place!!! Is it in with the big fab of nitrogen ice cream? Yes, but I am still a big fan.
I can honestly say, I have not tried Creamistry yet. The things I hear about the pricing and the horrid lines have not made me in a hurry to visit. Luckily my husband spotted this place on Unilocal a while back when we were in the area eating dinner.
We went around the holidays for the first time. I went with chocolate banana and he went with strawberry banana. We enjoyed our visit, but I seemed to have had to wait much longer than he did. I saw numerous people getting their orders before I received my portion of ours. After getting impatient and thinking they forgot about mine, I checked.
It turns out that the chocolate flavors take longer. I don’t really remember why. I think it had to do with the consistency and having to do it multiple times. Just note that if you come to visit. I thought the place was good but not amazing. I don’t remember why, it was like half a year ago. Maybe it was the wait too. My husband seemed to really love his.
He mentioned coming back a few times but I was either not in the mood or we were not nearby. Recently we were though. Surprisingly I thought of swinging by this time, and I am glad we did.
They have all sorts of creations like chocolate banana, strawberry banana, rocky road, the list goes on and on. While Rocky Road is typically my «go to», I decided on a classic flavor instead of a creation. I went with raspberry. I was also not sure I was wanting to test this «waiting of the chocolate» thing again either. I decided to add sprinkles as a mix in this time. Those run at about seventy five cents each I believe. My husband went with the banana flavor and added chocolate chips.
They have three sizes. I believe the medium which we get is around $ 6 or close to it. It’s a good enough size for me. What I find odd is that they can’t do separate flavors as separate scoops. They would have to mix them. I figured they could use two mixers but I guess not. I kept it simple. We also used the Unilocal check in offer of $ 2 off a medium or large! (At least for now)
The order went much quicker this time, and it was empty when we came in which helped. The crowds starting coming later. Maybe it was my day this time or the experience all around was better, but I absolutely loved it. I loved it so much that I hope to return much quicker this time. Very creamy and smooth texture and tons of flavor. I like it much better than another place I used to love that went out of business. Unfortunately that location was close to me, and this one is not. It’s not a surprise. All my favorite places are not close.
I am a fan and hope to be back much more often!

Another Nitrogen infused ice cream shop in Orange!
I had the Caramel one and it was really smooth and good. It was $ 5.95 for the medium minus $ 2 for check in offer, sweet!
Hubby got the Rocky road and didn’t like it as much. It tasted more like Cookies n Cream.
Shop is in a plaza that looked pretty quiet on a Saturday so there’s plenty of parking. Staff was friendly.

Sweet for your sweet Valentine…
My Valentine dessert was from this place.
Ordered medium chocolate hazelnut with seasalt caramel truffle dry topping mixed in for $ 6.50. It was served with two pieces of wafer and a friendly smile. My chocolate ice cream melted right away :(
The ice cream is freshly made, but it’s not as good as Ice Cream Lab in Beverly Hills. N2 Creamery has more selections than ICL though.
What is that smell? LOL I know they use nitrogen gas…
Well, actually we smelled a customer’s gas :(His gas was 59% nitrogen, 21% hydrogen, 9% carbon dioxide, 7% methane, 4% oxygen and 100% deadly :(
Use your Fivestar reward card at this place.
QUICK TIP: $ 2.00 ANY MEDIUM OR LARGE WITH CHECK-​IN.
3 stars! Actually it was more like 2.5 stars but the workers were great. I didn’t finish my ice cream because it was too sweet.
N2 Creamery is almost yummylicious!

Fast and easy. Simple and easy to understand me is on TV screens make your choice pretty fast. From the two we ordered you really can’t go wrong. Everyone was friendly and I was able to try two different flavors:
Creamsicle. Basically the orange vanilla ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ bar. We didn’t add any toppings or anything. It was amazingly good. Smooth and sweet yet not too sweet. And just the right amount of vanilla.
Sea salt caramel I really liked this flavor. Creamy and rich. The added chocolate bites were an excellent addition and come standard.
I look forward to coming back more often and trying different flavors on the menu.

Why is there not a red wine ice cream here? Otherwise, this version of the nitro ice cream fad is far better tasting than creamistry with better prices (they have a frequent buyer program that saved me 25% by signing up, they offer Unilocal check in discounts and they immediatdly texted me a BOGO free deal). Same set up as other types of these joints with base ice cream and sauces/​mixings you add to fill out your treat. I enjoyed my chocolate banana ice cream with fudge sauce and my son really liked his cookie dough (except next time he will not add gummi bears to it).
Bright and clean with a bunch of all-​american boy band types working behind the counter (who were attracting in gaggles of teenage girls while we were there. I joked with my son this should definitely be his first job).
Highly recommended with better flavors and less expensive prices (with discounts and programs) than Creamistry.

After having dinner at a nearby BBQ joint (to be reviewed later), I quickly whipped out my trusty Unilocal app and plugged in a search for ice cream. The two places that topped the list I had tried previously and although okay I was looking for something new and exciting to try, low and behold N2 Creamery was third on the list and only a mile and half away.
We pulled in the driveway and quickly found the place. The place has an open layout and a pretty nicely varied menu so anyone in your party should find something to their liking. I was having a bit of trouble scanning the digital menu board as it kept changing but surely enough they have a printed version on the glass near the register for you to use as well (although I did find a couple of flavors not printed on this list that were on the digital one so be advised). The menu is layed out by categories such as classic flavors (chocolate, strawberry, vanilla etc…), Signature Flavors (chocolate malt ball, snickerdoodle crunch, lemon ball, cookie dough and many more) and mix-​ins. They also had a couple of holiday flavors available as well so be on the lookout for these as they may change depending upon the holiday.
My wife went with the chocolate banana ice cream while I opted to go with the strawberry banana. The process of making the ice cream is similar to those of other liquid nitrogen based ice cream shops popping up throughout the OC area so the product does take a few minutes to come out but is well worth the wait. All of the ice cream had great texture and a nice light consistency and great flavor. My strawberry banana came out within just a couple of minutes but my wife’s chocolate banana took far longer to prepare. The girl at the front informed her that the chocolate takes longer to prepare due to the thickness and consistency so be prepared to wait a bit longer if you go that route.
The pricing is average for this type of place although a bit more expensive than the liquid nitrogen placed I most commonly frequented and ran us about $ 14 for two medium sized cups with no mix-​ins. The staff was very kind and did a great job of explaining things to those who have never had this type of product before. A gentleman who was enjoying his first liquid nitrogen ice cream with his family made a point to walk to the front to tell them this was the best ice cream he had ever had on numerous occasions and they definitely left their mark on me as well. The product is good, the staff is good and the place was definitely a winner to me.
Due to the unfortunate closing of my normal go to liquid nitrogen place who lost their fight with the would be Mall owners who refused to fix their mold issue, this place will be garnering a lot more of my business from here on out. If things continue as they are now this place will definitely have a new ongoing customer in me. I look forward to many more visits to come.
