After a long dry spell going without my drug of choice, I got a fix tonight at Cream ("Cookies Rule Everything Around Me"). Some of the Fat Kids were out for dinner and decided to try this new(ish) place out for dessert. $1.50 ice cream sandwiches, made with cookies straight out of the oven. A-maz-ing.
While us Fat Kids love anything tasty, we especially love things that are (1) cheap, (2) sweet, and (3) fatty. I am so glad that this place wasn't around when I was an undergrad because I would have made this a nightly stop and might have gained 50 pounds before I graduated.

Sure, this is probably a knock-off of Diddy Riese near UCLA, but I figure since they copied our mascot and our fight song, Cal can have this one.
They have a selection of a dozen or so ice cream flavors that you can combine with roughly six different varieties of cookies. I had coffee almond fudge with chocolate chip cookies. They use Double Rainbow ice cream- although not comparable to my absolute fav, Mitchell's, I was pretty impressed.
According to some of the Yelp reviews, the line can get a bit long, but if you are near Telegraph Ave in Berkeley, Cream is worth the wait.
