Their non dairy options are pretty decent. I love the original flavors. Its nice to have a couple benches outside to eat at. And the servers inside are always very kind and give plenty of samples. They also have a kids size for $2 along with three different kinds of cones. Their utensils are all compostable, pretty awesome.

Recently stopped in to try this place out, and was pleasantly thrilled about it! I got the King Me! flavor and wish I had bought a giant tub of it instead. Easily the best ice cream Ive had in awhile; thick, creamy, and full of delicious flavor.

I have to say that this is probably one of the best ice cream places that I have ever been to. This is a small hole in the wall place in the middle of a residential neighborhood on the west side of Ft Wayne.The flavors of this place were on point. We ordered a matcha/dark chocolate flavor with the peach/jasmine flavor. The matcha was rich and really came though in the ice cream but the peach jasmine was just awesome. The jasmine flavor was strong enough to come through but the peach flavor really balanced it out. The waffle cones themselves had some nutmeg or cinnamon inside the batter so that each bite of the cone was extremely tasty.This place alone is worth a trip to Ft Wayne!

I had such a great time here!! Such a cute little cafe and great environment. They also have wonderful vegan flavors and the menu is seasonal/changes so u can always try new things. It was my first time coming here today and it was awesome! They having creative,interesting,neat, delicious flavors. The vegan options are oat based and coconut based I believe. I got lavender lemon ice cream (coconut based) and was so yummy. Also I saw this cute little kitty outside next to the barber shop the Microcreamery is next to!!! Such a neat part of town.

We were on a day trip and had this marked as a stop. This neighborhood is absolutely beautiful. The microcreamery is a very neat place. Good selection of ice cream to choose from. Good stuff. Worth stopping for a cool treat.

Ice cream flavors constantly change. So every trip there is a new adventure. All flavors in my opinion are an explosion of flavors with a flavor for everyone. Can be purchased in a waffle cone, regular cone or in a round waxed paper container.$6 & change for 2 scoops.

The ice cream was so delicious! The staff were friendly. My favorite was the Awoke & Dreaming (coffee flavor). We got a flight which was 4 different flavors and they all were good.

While we’ve never been to their downtown location, my now-wife and I had the WCM ice cream cart at our wedding and we’re very glad we did. Fun process selecting our flavors, convenient electronic payment and friendly service the day-of. Can’t speak for the location but definitely recommend the ice cream and we’re big fans of the business!

This is the real deal. You can tell the ingredients are real and legit because the ice cream melts quicker than their competition. Great flavor combos, great location. Nice staff. Lovely experience.

Had the vegan vanilla. Since there was no regular vanilla. Just awful. Straight cardboard taste. Couldnt taste vanilla at all. Like it sat too long in its container or something. Gfs cotton candy was good though. But that was normal ice cream.

An array of vegan options, great customer service, affordable prices, and tasty vegan ice cream. They have vegan cake cones as Well as vegan waffle cones if you ask. I loved the after hours the best. They even let me taste test each flavor. I highly recommend and will be back.

The location is awesome in West Central, lets get that right. I love the area and what this and other shops bring. The service was great. That had many flavors and even vegan options. I went for a rum raisin and oatmeal and my daughter had birthday cake. Not overly sweet which was good. Was it good? Yes. Was it over the top sweet like Dairy Queen? No. Its good ice cream and does not try to be what its not. Cool little shop. Recommended.

Review №29

A delightful spot for delicious ice cream. This business is quite aptly named. It is located an historic building on the west side of town (West Central). It is quite small (Micro) They make their own ice creams and vegan non-dairy frozen creams (Creamery).Based on our experience, they could in all honesty add Truly Delicious and Extraordinarily Pleasant to their name. Of course that would make the sign too large. The handcrafted flavors are a skillfully chosen mix of refreshing tastes, and we were swiftly served by friendly staff. This is lovely local small business for which Fort Wayne should feel a bit of pride and give a lot of support. Now that a friend has told us about WCM, well be back frequently.

I’ve loved pre-reserving to pick up at the farmers market, having vegan options, and the creative flavors. My most recent experience, though, was mixed feelings/three stars from start to finish and my first time at the actual location. The woman rudely snapped at us for missing the “one party at a time indoors” sign— I get it; I support it; it was dark out and I simply missed the sign. It was brash enough for my partner to turn around and walk back to the car. Once inside, the flavor we drove across town for was out, even though it was online. Pro tip: flavors are apparently very limited on Sunday, she didn’t say how often the website was refreshed. At the conclusion of what felt like an “off” experience, I was asked to tip. Fine, I’m more than happy to, but it was uncomfortable. I tipped and left with a scoop of vegan sweet corn, which was good. All considered, I’d buy again, but prefer the market option.

Review №56

We showed up at 7:53 to wait in line due to another costumer or so we thought being ahead of us. At 7:59 the person working turned the lights off and changed the sign to closed. My husband popped his head in and asked if she was closing she said yes it’s 8:00. He said no it’s 7:59 so she stood there doing nothing chatting with her friend who was not a costumer and when the time changed to 8 she said now I’m closed. Terrible costumer service! Such a cute place but we will never return!

Hi
Review №58

The ice cream is delicious; rotating flavors, lots of vegan options, ice cream flights (!!) If you cant decide. That being said, dont try to come here if its getting too close to closing time. Weve gone several times where theyve closed early or just been about to close and wont serve us, with no warning.

Review №62

Fabulous special little corner where the Ice Cream was wonderful, the vegan options abundant (and according to my son just as good as non-vegan options), but the parking is a pain. Although easy to see in its unique half-basement store front we did have trouble finding the best place to park. We settled on a very dirty street in front of some of the homes there. Not the easiest place to get to, yet worth the trouble. Better location is an easy 5 star experience.

First time going to this place the ice cream was fantastic. I thought it was a little pricey but not terrible. The service was amazing I watch that girl accommodate large family with multiple kids giving samples and she was so accommodating I dont think I could ever do that. It was a really nice place plus plenty of places to sit outside. Will definitely visit again.

What a fun place! I was so happy to find a place that makes their own ice cream since we only had time for one dessert in town. They have unique flavors. One that I’ve never tried anywhere before - avocado! It was smooth, simple, and actually tasted like avocado.My friend Ms. S chose the lemon and let me try. It wasn’t super tart and in your face. It reminded us of a lemon chiffon cake.I went with one scoop of Oreo Coffee Caramel and one of Bubblegum. This bubblegum seemed to have more depth that most I’ve tasted in the pasted. It wasn’t just sweet, it had other layers going on that I can’t quite describe....it also had sprinkles! But the Oreo was my absolute favorite. I mean, how can you go wrong with that flavor combination?? And it tastes just as good as you’d imagine!There’s not a lot of seating. We stayed inside at a booth until one of two tables opened up outside. It was the perfect evening to enjoy some ice cream outside and the neighborhood is calm and quiet.
