it all started with our

Ice Cream Cookie Sandwiches

As a young boy, Gus Shamieh remembers coming home from practice to the smell of freshly baked cookies. With the churn of his mother’s creamy homemade ice cream, and baking of soft buttery cookies, the ice cream sandwich was born. In 2010, Jimmy and Gus Shamieh led the Shamieh family in opening the first CREAM location in Berkeley, California. Working the store from open to close, the Shamieh family started serving happiness one ice cream sandwich at a time. The goodness travelled fast enticing families from all over the San Francisco Bay Area to visit. Some travelled hours just to get a taste of the buzz.
