Smitten Ice Cream - Oakland

Haven't had smitten in awhile, so we wanted to try it again (especially since it's been HOT lately). No line on a Thursday night so I was able to order quickly. There's a limited menu so it wasn't too hard to figure out what to order. I was impressed with how fast the ice cream was made too. I ordered a single scoop cookie dough ice cream with pretzels and chocolate chips. Ice cream isn't that creamy or rich, so it's not too heavy. The pretzels and chocolate chips add a nice texture and depth of flavor to the brown sugar ice cream. Overall, not unbelievably sweet. There's a good balance I think the pretzels help with that. It was fun to try a different take on cookie dough (my go to flavor) and Smitten executed it well. I also liked that the cookie dough chunks were blended into the ice cream (brown sugar) instead of having big chunks of dough.

The sizes are negative. Who wants desert to be invisible. But good tasting ice cream If u are on a diet

Walt from Walt's Adventures here and I find myself in Oakland, California. Tonight's adventure has led me to Smitten Ice Cream. What Smitten does differently than any other ice cream parlor is that all of their selections are made with liquid NITROGEN! It's amazing. You see all of the ingredients put in a mixer and then, after a few minutes, your mixer looks like a foggy experiment as if you had entered a laboratory of a mad scientist. Literally, not more than a few minutes later, poof... your fresh selection is made. The taste? All ice creams and frozen yogurts give you that milk or yogurt taste with flavors. However, I thought Smitten tasted fresher. It was ice cream that goes straight to the great flavors and no aftertastes. If you want ice cream, you could go to your local parlor but why not go extreme and go to Smitten! I cannot wait to return.

They used to have a location in Lafayette that I would go to constantly! Their ice cream is so creamy and smooth, absolutely no ice chunks. They have so many fun flavors, but I will always be a chocolate cone. Their waffle cones are also warm and fresh.

Smooth, creamy, and very delicious. I am going to visit again real soon with my family
