Waltham

Stumbled on The Creamery while looking for ice cream around Home Depot. It apparently just opened a few months back and it's directly adjacent to the Brandeis/Roberts commuter rail stop.

Aside from ice cream they have a range of ice cream sodas, floats, and a milkshake (not a frappe, oh no) as well as a range of hot and cold coffee drinks (specifically from an espresso machine, so your "normal" coffee will be an Americano, but that's fine.) They also have Raspberry Lime Rickeys - not my thing but a few friends are fans so I have to point it out.

The thing they are really into is Sundaes, nearly half of the menu board is an amazing range of ice cream sundae concepts. I was waffling between the Peanut Butter Pretzel Sundae, the Chocolate Lover's Dream Sundae, and the Waffle Sundae (ha ha) when my friend pointed out that they have a Baklava Sundae and I'd missed out on the Baklava Ice Cream at New City last week. It was amazing.

Baklava Sundae

(This was a Large) Loaded with pistachios, walnuts, and honey, but they also had small-cannoli-shaped baklava "tubes" which they sliced disks off of to include in the sundae. Of particular novelty: they started by dumping toppings into the cup, then added ice cream, then the "top" toppings, so that when you get down to the bulk ice cream layer (which, don't get me wrong, was a good vanilla in it's own right), "surprise!" another layer of crunchy bits to finish it off.

Next Time

As a First Visit, I don't yet have an "if you're picking something up for me" preference yet, but I certainly want to try their Tiramisu Sundae and Waffle Sundae (waffle-cone bits, should be Very Crunchy) but wouldn't object to any of the other 14 Sundaes on the current menu (well, the Tropical Paradise Sundae appears to be Very Coconut so it's going to be pretty far down the list, but it has Mango! so it's not off the list entirely.)

They've only been open since May but it looks like they've got a good spot so I wish them luck!
