Although LocoPops would win my vote for best frozen dessert in the Triangle, this is downtown Raleigh's place for a nice cool treat! The mix-your-own concept is fun, even if I do always get the same thing (chocolate ice cream + coconut + almonds = YUM!). The best part of Crema is the customer service. They set the standard for warm, friendly, welcoming service. I love being greeted like an old friend (even if that means maybe I eat too much ice cream). I wish they stayed open later during the week, but hopefully they'll expand hours once all the new condos and hotels open up.
Pros: service, downtown location
