New Creamery Opens In Berkeley

BERKELEY, CA — It's still summer, and it's still hot, which is ideal for one sweet treat in particular: ice cream.

A new shop in Berkeley — Melt Me Creamery — has folks covered, with enough flavor selections to appeal to a variety of taste buds.

Melt Me Creamery, located at 1918 Martin Luther King Jr. Way, had a soft opening July 11 and has been scooping out its offerings to customers all month.

The store is pink-and-white themed inside and out, and the ice cream is all colors of the rainbow — and then some.

Flavors include Mango Sticky Rice, Matcha Strawberry, Pinkberry, Blue Jasmine & Passionfruit Swirl, Ube Malted Crunch, Campfire S'mores, Thai Tea Brown Sugar Mochi, Class Vanilla (gluten-free), Lavender Honeycomb Dust, and — dramatic pause — Cheddar Cheese Walnut Pralines.

"I ACTUALLY screamed for ice cream when I saw this cute new place finally opened and did a (legal) U-turn to check it out," wrote Yelp reviewer and Berkeley resident Wesley L. "It's a smaller store front, but the inside has plenty of pink and a welcoming feel to it. Some flavors rotate monthly and [they] keep things interesting (the cheddar cheese walnut pralines is not as weird as it sounds). Sprinkles are free!"

Melt Me Creamery also has fruit freeze slushies on the menu — yet another sweet way to cool down.

"We're excited to become part of this amazing community and look forward to sharing joy, smiles, and delicious ice cream with all of you," owners Suphaluk Moontha and Nutchapol Phaungjit commented on their Instagram page.
