My friends and I were in Cookeville exactly a year ago and stopped by this place. I was just scrolling through my photo gallery today and a picture of us all laughing with our ice cream cones popped up, and it brought back such a great memory I had to leave a review, even a year late! I honestly still think about how good that ice cream was. The flavors were incredible, and it was so creamy and perfect. The shop itself had such a great, friendly vibe. We all agreed it was hands-down the best ice cream we had in town, and probably one of the best we've had, period. If you're in Cookeville, you absolutely have to go.

Busy busy place and I know why :) Their ice cream is yummy. I ordered the salted caramel with a sugar cone dipped in chocolate!! Absolutely delish! The sweet gal that took care of us went beyond the call, worth the wait! I will be back when I am visiting again! Thank you, Cream City

Fantastic! Highly recommend. There is a reason there is a line. Some of the best I've had. Get a waffle cone. Toppings are creative.

I was running low on energy while my buddy was going through a marathon tattoo session at Tell No Tale. The smell of childhood memories punched me in the scent sniffer the second I walked in the door. It's a true Ice Cream Parlor and the staff were amazing. I only got a coffee drink (which was fantastic) and the young lady behind the counter let me sample a couple of flavors. Here's the Breakdown: Childhood memories served by great staff in an amazing space +5,000,000 stars (maps rounds down to 5). I will for sure go back.

We love a vintage ice cream place. Just something special about having ice cream from an old timey place. We stopover in Cookeville which is such a cute little town and Cream City ice cream with its huge neon sign is attention grabbing. We had to stop here after our dinner. Super friendly young crew. We enjoyed sitting outside with our ice cream treats.

I can’t even begin to explain how much I love this place! They have a great variety, it’s always a generous amount, and the staff are absolutely fantastic! They honor military discounts, which are few and far between now plus they offer little rewards punch cards. I adore that it’s a small, local business with a very impressive historical background including one of the oldest, working neon signs in all of Tennessee. It’s gorgeous. We eat there once a week or more. I can’t imagine eating at any other ice cream place in Cookeville. I’m so so so happy it’s here.

Delicious ice cream and amazing ice cream sandwiches! The walk-up window makes ordering super convenient, and the employees were so sweet and clearly working hard to keep things moving. Great service and even better treats—10/10, highly recommend!

So many flavors, and I can’t believe how cheap!! Iconic little location. The cookie butter had chunks of cookies but was still velvety soft. Amazing place!
