Inside City Creamery

City Creamery is coming to Hawthorne, and it'll be like nothing you've seen around here lately.

Homemade ice cream. Cheesecake. A coffee bar. Homemade sodas. Crepes. And breakfast -- only breakfast -- all day, every day, in a 3,500-square-foot shop with 80 seats.

Mitchell Greene, the owner, has been a banquet chef in several hotels, including the former Sheraton in Hasbrouck Heights and the Grand Hyatt in Manhattan, but he said it's time that he and his wife start to work for themselves.

It should open in the end of May or early June, Greene said.

City Creamery will be at. 312 Lafayette Ave., Hawthorne, next to the movie theater; 973-304-0004 or citycreamery.com.

hope its real home made ice cream...since it's not far from van dykes there will be some competition although VD's variety has since been reduced during the last few years, i look forward to something new.

The ice cream is super premium and it is real homemade like nothing you ever tasted in this area. All our ingredients are the best products from around the world. The ice cream machines are imported from Italy and are the finest ever built. Come by and experience for yourself.

end May/early June? perhaps a drive-by is needed cause there's nothing happening there - just drove past 1/2 hr. ago and my mother lives up the street and reports the same lack of activity lately...

at least the above 'adventures in shilling' ;) posting wa honest enough to use their name

best wishes for great success...but end May/early June? and where to park?

Your web site says you make ice cream, but my friend told me that you make gelato... Which is it? I don't live very close, but I have no problem traveling when gelato is involved:)
ps-are you open yet?

[City Creamery]

I thank everyone for their support and their good wishes. Our target date now is looking towards the end of August. As far the word gelato, our product is gelato. We use the old European method which is the original method of making gelato. To answer your question, we are making gelato and we are going to have ice cream flavors in our gelato and also sorbets, non-sugar gelato and non-dairy gelato. I look forward to seeing everyone and personally meeting you all. I would truly like to thank everyone for their wonderful support.

You also have delicious biscottis which are going to be served as well. Would be nice to mention them in your ad as well as the chef who will be making them. :)

[City Creamery]

We would like to thank you about your kind words regarding our delicious biscottis. When we open, in the very near future, all our very talented chefs will be introduced to our customers. Once again thank all of you for your kind words and support and can't wait to see all of you in the near future.

Glad to see the ad in the paper that you are having your grand opening next Tuesday at 7! We have been waiting a long time to sample the cheesecake and gelato! Looking forward to the opening and wishing you the best of luck!

I got to sample the gelato and it is amazing. Try the Cookies and Cream - the oreos are actually crunchy. I also understand you are having a Spring video done. Great choice! Good Luck on Tuesday!

I went to your grand opening; while it was a little overwhelming it was well worth it.
We had your Gelato’s, Cappuccino and we tried your cheese steak Panini sandwich.
Everything was wonderful. Best of luck with your business, by what we experienced on your grand opening day it looks like you guys are going to do great. but i have one suggestion... you should try and post your menu’s on your web site.
