Frozen Nitrogen Ice Cream

Incredibly delicious! I had the pure vinnella and the lady had some Carmel and peanut butter made with coconut milk, which she really liked. The gentleman (Dean) serving was so kind as this was our first time in the store. He explained all of the great choices to us.

Delicious ice cream or yoghurt as base with a very wide choices of topping.
Ordered Butter Scotch ice cream and loved it!!

Smither's in San Francisco was my first try at nitrogen ice cream. That unreachable scoop of perfectly-smooth ice cream was only available in a few locations and in few flavors. Frozen tries to emulate that success in a novelty, gimmicky chain style with a weird theme on chemistry (don't ask me) and too many flavors and topping choices. Don't get me wrong- it's good ice cream. It's just not nitrogen ice cream good; it tastes like a regular pint, just a bit colder for a bit longer. The mix-ins are far and few in-between the glob of frozen milk, yogurt, or coconut milk. The sizes are weirdly small, and I'm kinda ticked at the old, unfitting bathrooms that do not work with the lab-white aesthetic. But it's good ice cream, if not overpriced. I'm guessing it'll go away in three years.

Third time coming here and I've been less than impressed. Today was probably my best trip, they finally got the chocolate ice cream chocolatey. The other times it just tasted sweet, not chocolatey. Or maybe like vanilla with Hershey's Sryup mixed in. Still not an overly chocolate taste, which I want. I don't love this place but my family does so I continue to come. I think I'll have to try the yogurt next time to see if it's any better. The service has always been good and have had friendly faces help us. It's a bit pricey, especially when it's not amazing. I want this place to do well so I am apprehensive leaving a 'fair' review. I think it's worth trying.

A fun and interesting experience. Choose from ice cream, almond milk, or yogurt base, and select your mix ins. They pump liquid nitrogen into a bowl with your ingredients and make your ice cream right in front of you. There were plenty of mix in options as well as some suggested favorites. I selected the PB&J and my husband had the Extreme Peanut Butter. Both were excellent.
