I went on a weekday with a friend after lunch to try out their ice cream.
My experience there was quite a disappointment. There were alot of students flooding the place so there was hardly a place to sit & cause they're students, they were really noisy & spoiled the ambience.
There were some big grps of students who wont even budge after eating, happily chit-chating even though they knew the place was crowded. Inconsiderate.
We ordered a cup of ice cream with 2 scoops & nuts as toppings cost us $5.50. $0.50 for topping. Average pricing for ice cream. We had mango & strawberry.
I disliked both flavours, it was overly sweet & creamy which leaves you wanting for alot of water. The topping wasnt crunchy at all.
I heard their brownie was gd but it looks small & hard & not appetising for me to try it.
The deco was not bad but the students were a total turn-off. I wont ever step into this place.

Island Creamery is a nice place to go and chill, especially on a lazy afternoon or weekend when you've got nothing to do, and just feel like eating some ice-cream.
The ice-cream really isn't too bad, and they've got some original flavours like Nutella, ReversO, Burnt Caramel and Teh Tarik.
Some of these ice-cream are really sweet though, and just be prepared to drink lots of water.
One thing i like about this place is their friendly staff. With a smile on their face and prompt service, this place is quite a hit with students~
Another thing of note is the walls, if you haven't already noticed, they're filled with pictures of past customers, most of them in a group (though some are in pairs) in various poses inside the restaurant itself.
A good place to leave memories by, who knows, you may see your picture still there after a year or two
Overall, i like the ambiance and cosyness of this place, and there's ice-cream and friendly staff to boot! Perhaps that's the charm of this place, though i would say the ice-cream may be a bit over-rated~

Island Creamery is an ice cream parlour that offers unique local flavours for both young and old – think Teh Tarik and Tiger Beer sorbet and not your typical boring chocolate or vanilla flavours. I tried the Pulut Hitam and I have to say that it kinda reminded me of the days in NS, where it was one of the favourite desserts among the field ration.
However, the texture of the ice-cream is a bit rough as compared to the ice cream from Venezia, at Guthrie House, Sixth Avenue.
Despite that, it is still a chic place for teenagers to hang out with, and it even encourage people to take photos, print out, and leave their wonderful memories behind, pasted on the wall. So who says all sweet stuffs leave you with a bad aftertaste?

Long heard of this famous ice-cream shop but did not have a chance to patronise it. So after finishing our dinner at Greenwood, we head straight to serene centre which was nearby. When we reached the place it was full house, so we waited a while for our seats. Single scoop comes at $2.50 each, while double scoop is $4.00. There is also the 500ml tub at $8.00
We 3 person order double scoop each and share, so each of us can taste 6 flavours instead of 2. Smart right? There are other flavours like black sesame, soursop, and some others which i can’t remember. But we dun have the courage to try them, so we ordered the more popular ones.
One by one, the top two is teh tareh (coffee) and nutella, bottom left is burn cameral and the popular cookies & cream, bottom right is reversO (chocolate) and horlick (see picture from my blog). We judge the popularity by seeing which one finish first. Make a guess? Cookies & cream and nutella tied for first, followed by cameral, ho, coffee and reverO (chocolate). My personal fav is nutella, never tried before. The reversO was too strong in flavour, as in after eating it when we eat the other flavours we cant taste anything. So we leave it for the last. lol
All in all, Island creamery is quite valued for money, there is a similar ice-cream shop called daily scoop at sunset way which offers double scoop for $5. Head there when u have a chance. 4.5 out of 5

Being a student myself, I enjoy hanging around at places like Island Creamery. It's not only a place to unwind but also a place to indulge in good ice-cream. (: Yes, I love the ice-cream there! I always go there for ReversO and Cookies & Cream. x)
I think the first thing you'll notice when you step into the shop is the pictures on the wall. It's... breath-taking. Really. I find it a really fun way of letting the customers feel at home. They have a wall to paste their pictures on! How cool is that?! Haha, and they have a printer for you to print your pictures on the spot too! Now that's what I call meeting your customers' needs.
So if you're craving for ice-cream, try Island Creamery. It's good, I tell you. (:

Island Creamery, a place where I've read alot on it as well. After reading all the ravings about their unique ice creams and other stuff, I was really curious about this place.
Was it as good as these people mentioned it to be?
With my bf bringing me there as a surprise treat, I finally got to step in Island Creamery and take a look at this place for myself.
Stepping into Island Creamery, you'll notice the crowd inside being mostly students in uniforms, gathering around tables with tubs of ice cream. Seems like the place has become a place for students to gather after school, which reduced the marks on its ambience as it was quite noisy, making the place less attractive for a relaxing afternoon treat.
However, like what Claudia mentioned, the many pictures of the different people who have stepped into Island Creamery filled the walls. For me, I really like this concept. Sitting there and just staring at the photos-filled walls, it was a good feeling seeing the smiles and observing every one in the pictures. Serious ones, heartwarming ones, and of cuz, some hilarious ones as well.. =)
Due to the lack of seats, we settled ourselves at the children's corner at the side and..it was a really nice place to be in.
With the photos filled with happy people on your left, and colourful drawings of animals & characters on your right, it was just like being in a bright and colourful world. 
However, we weren't really in the mood for ice cream and chose to try their mudpie ($4.80) instead. Wow. The mudpie there is gooooood~ With the smooth texture of the ice cream between the toppings of crushed Oreo™ biscuits and a thin chocolate base, it was heavenly! ^^
A must-try!
The next time I go, I shall try their unique ice-cream flavours then.

Yes, its creamery. But is there more to it?
After reading so much about Island Creamery from blogs and hearing people talk about it in forum, finally I went to check the place out yesterday. Rushed down to meet a group of bloggers at Serene Centre after a quicky at Games Convention over at Suntec.
First thing that came to mind upon entering the small shop at the corner of Serene Centre was, "Hmm... another one with photo wall, just like pitstop." The big wall opposite the counter was covered with photos taken by the customers of Island Creamery. They have a portable photo printer where you can use to print your photos on the spot, scribble your names and what not on the photo and have a piece of the wall for your group. This is a very nice way to fill-up blank spaces on the wall as it added colors to the place with all the photos. This might also be one of the pulling factor that draws customers to return to see if they can spot their photos again few months later at the same spot or if any friends they know visited the place too.
So what can you find other than the photo wall at Island Creamery? Ice-cream of course! And in many interesting flavors too. One of the other attraction is the many local taste flavored ice-creams available. Find Teh Tarik, Pulua Hitum, Chendol, Apple Pie, Holick, Milo and many other flavors that'll make you want to try them all.
My group bought 4 tubs for $8 each and shared. Flavors are Nutella, ReversO, Burnt Caramel and Teh Tarik. I tried them all and concluded that other than the unique flavors and taste, that tasted just the way they should, there's really nothing much to rave about. The ice-cream is too creamery for my liking. And they are very sweet too. I had to drink 2 gulps of water after each scope (small scope) of ice-cream.
My bf bought a scope (at $2.50) of the berry mixed flavor to try. We both felt that this one tasted slightly better as the sourness from berries somehow lessen the sweet taste of the ice cream. And you can taste the berries and had to crew on it.
There're other better ice creams out there. If I were to return to Island Creamery, it would either be for another gathering or someone invited me there for free ice-cream. Other than that, I'll probably not return for the ice cream.
