Slickables

This is my favorite dessert place in all of Riverside, aside from boba fiend. It’s like Milk in LA if you’ve ever been. It’s cheap, and easy to make. They have unlimited combinations depending on which cookie you want and which ice cream you want in it. The service is great and they’re quick with your order. My favorite to get is the snickerdoodle cookies with strawberry cheesecake ice cream in the middle. I recommend this place to you if you like affordable desserts and a something small after a meal in the University Village. I just wish they had more flavors of ice cream to choose from.

Not awesome but not horrible.
Service is great, shout out to Miguel for helping us out! Offered suggestions and samples when I was conflicted on flavors.
The ice cream is tasty, I would definitely come back for that. Sadly, I would only come back for that. When I tried their ice cream sandwiches, I was a bit miffed that their cookies were super hard and crunchy, to the point that I was biting the cookie was hard the ice cream flopped out the other side.
Now I understand that the cookies need to be a bit on the harder side to not dissolve and become mushy from the ice cream, but the cookies were too hard to the point of stale.

Good overall for the price $ 2. Option to mix and match the cookies. I prefer crunchy cookies so this place was ideal for me. Wish the strawberry cheesecake ice cream had more chunks of cheesecake in it.

The best cookies I’ve ever had !! The chocolate chip cookies are the best ! I’ve tried the fun fetti and the M&M ones and their all so yummy ! Within a week I stopped by 3x most deff will be going back ! Finally a place that doesn’t charge 2 $ for one cookie try 50 cent winning !

Love love love this place! My husband and I love going to boba café, so we decided that we would try this place after leaving boba one day! It was phenomenal! The ice cream was great and the cookies were perfect. There were a lot of options to choose from and they weren’t too hard. Only $ 2 too such a deal! I would highly recommend to anyone and will definitely be coming back!

My boyfriend and I were walking around the university plaza and found this little place. The $ 2 ice cream sandwiches caught our attention, but there were hardly any signs to tell is the name of this establishment. We went to eat at popcorn chicken then came here afterwards to try it out. I got the classic chocolate chip cookie with rocky road. The cookie was very soft and didn’t fall apart like I assumed. For $ 2, it was plenty to share (but I don’t eat that much sweets so maybe it’s a good size for 1 person).

Pretty disappointed with the cookie quality. I thought it was a bit stale and too crunchy. Some people are into that though. I’m more of a chewy gooey cookie kinda girl. Makes me miss Diddy Riese in Westwood tear.

$ 2 cash! What? Two bucks for two cookies and a scoop of ice cream, how gr8 is that. I had the cake batter ice cream between a snickerdoodle cookie and chocolate chip cookie. The ice cream was mediocre, but ice cream is ice cream! I thought the cookies would be softer, but they were crunchy.
The lady working was very nice and patient with my very poor ice cream flavor and cookie combination decision making skills. Would definitely stop by again if it was on the way to anywhere I was headed to.

Yessssssa I love ice cream sammiches *_*
Honestly, my favorite thing here is the price! Each cookie ice cream sandwich is $ 2 which is THE BEST
Pretty simple concept — pick 2 types of cookies and an ice cream flavor! My usual is mint chip ice cream with a snicker doodle and a mint chip cookie!
One thing I have to add is that the ice cream is pretty soft most of the time, which is unfortunate, since I prefer colder ice cream instead of melty…
Aside from the cookie sandwiches, they also do milkshakes, brownie sandwiches, and just basic ice cream scoops
Definitely my go-​to dessert place if I’m looking for something sweet and cheap

The answer is no, it’s not like Diddy Riese in Westwood but if this is the best the Inland Empire can do then it is what it is. For $ 2 cash or $ 2.24 card you’re getting Thrifty ice cream selection between two basic cookies. I’ve had Diddy Riese, Cool Haus, Inside Skup and The Good Batch (Brooklyn) so my rating is a bit harsh but had the employee been a tad bit nicer I would’ve given it an extra star.
Came in on a Saturday night around 11:50 knowing that they were going to close in ten minutes. The place was empty, the day old cookies tin was empty, there were only three cookie choices left: chocolate chip (3), mint chip (3), fun fetti (4). The ice cream brand was Thrifty which is cool, but nothing out of the ordinary. I chose one mint chip cookie, one chocolate chip cookie and coffee ice cream. The cookies were alright and the ice cream sandwich was good and it only cost around 2 dollars, but for three dollars more I could’ve had a whole quart of ice cream from Thrifty and not been rushed by the girl who kindly reminded me right when I walked in the door, «We’re closing in ten minutes,» and then proceeded to put up chairs just as I left mine when it hit midnight. I guess Cinderella had a hot date or something.

The service sucked because the female attendant wasn’t very polite and had this urgency to get us out. The cookie selection was lacking and the fact that there weren’t any day old cookies left to sell was a huge dissapointment. I thought I’d check out the cookie menu for future reference on the board behind the counter, but it’s just a bunch of scribble about how to put your sandwich together. I didn’t see a pamphlet at the counter with a list of cookies either but I did find it on their website. All in all, it’s the only dessert place open until midnight around here, but there’s a 24 hour Rite Aid on Canyon Crest that sells quarts of award winning Thrifty ice cream that I’d rather go to and make my own cookie sandwich at home. Even the name of the place isn’t appealing or makes sense… Slickables? Nothing tops Diddy Riese and I’ve been to Inside Skup in Fullerton (same concept) and think that place is better than Slickables.

It’s $ 2! Granted, it’s not gourmet ice cream but it’s still pretty good!
You get a decent selection of ice cream AND cookies.
Personally, I love the double chocolate cookies, also you can mix and match just in case you can’t make up your mind like me. :P

Small but located in the most happening off campus food and shopping center near UCR. Slickables is a quaint store with a small seating area but well lit and organized. The staff too proved friendly and the gal who greeted me enticed me with their use of Thrifty ice cream!
At $ 2 for a custom sammie you’d have to be a serious cheap wad to not try one! I got macadamia nut for one side and double chocolate for the other. I had a hard time deciding on the filling but when I saw mint chocolate chip the sandwich was customized.
Wish list is macaroons like you’d find elsewhere in OC or LA, but for Riverside this is beyond acceptable. I like the location although parking can be a hassle sometimes.

Wow! You can’t beat the price here. $ 2 for cookies and ice cream — unheard of! And it is good. A solid 4 stars. Check them out! Ice cream is better than the cookies. If you are trying to cut calories I would suggest that you just get the ice cream.

Something about the giant $ 2 for an ice cream sandwich sign definitely caught my eye. It’s cheap, but if you really think about it how cheap is it really… how much is a whole box of thrifty ice cream and cookies (I should go sell them by the side of the school…) and this leads to my second point, it’s basic.
Super mediocre tasting. It’s like some subway cookies and well obviously thrifty ice cream, don’t get me wrong I love my thrifty but I’m not sure what I was expecting… just something a little more?
My boyfriend and I shared one sandwich, we got the snicker doodle and white chocolate macadamia nut cookies with cookies and cream ice cream. The white chocolate macadamia nut was SO hard. Like crispy. As a rock. I was so sad because that’s my favorite type of cookie. But the snickerdoodles was nice and soft! But not too soft, just the right amount of chew and it wasn’t too sweet either.
The store itself isn’t that big but there are some seats, the workers are nice and friendly. If I was too lazy to buy ice cream for my freezer or cookies for my house, that would mean I’m too lazy to put my own ice cream sandwich together so yeah then I’d come back.

ROUND TWO: came back but this time wanted to try a milkshake and I’m really disappointed. I got the cookies and cream milkshake and it just tastes like milk with a dash of cookie crumbs. Sad. It’s also not thick at all. It’s milk. I’m drinking milk.
They give you two scoops of ice cream with your milk but I seriously think they should bump that ratio up to 4 – 5 scoops. It’s better to have a thick milkshake rather than a thin one anyway!
Total price was $ 3.78.
SO if you’re gonna get a milkshake:
1) get a heavier flavor — i.e. mint or coffee
2) ask for more than two scoops
3) don’t get a milkshake

Pretty good selection for cookies and ice cream. I like that you can mix and match the cookies for your ice cream sandwich and $ 2 is a really good price for what you get. It’s not up there with Snow Monster or anything, but it has the potential to be, I think.
A quick tip though, warm cookies would make the sandwiches WAY better! :)

If you’re comparing this place to CREAM or Diddy Riese, you’ll only set yourself up for disappointment. To be fair though, the ice cream sandwiches are only $ 2 so you can’t complain much about the quality since you’re not shelling out a fortune per sandwich.
There is a small selection of cookies and a small selection of ice cream flavors as well. During my visit I got chocolate chip cookies with strawberry cheesecake ice cream. You get the price you pay for. The cookies were soft baked which I really liked because it didn’t squeeze the ice cream out of the sandwich like CREAM does sometimes, and the ice cream stays relatively hard enough for you to get through the entire sandwich without it melting all over your fingers.
I don’t see myself coming back here unless I was looking for a cheap dessert to eat after class or after dining at another restaurant in the University Village. The service was mediocre – nothing good, nothing bad – and the quality was as well. I’d say that this would fare well for just about the length of its yearly permit here at the UV but don’t realistically see it staying here much longer unless the quality of their cookie sandwiches improves drastically.

Choose any two cookies, any ice cream — ice cream sandwich. $ 2. done.
The GOOD:
I got a snickerdoodle cookie and a chocolate chip cookie with cookies and cream ice cream inside. The cookies were really soft and moist which was nice and the ice cream was pretty straight forward. nothing fancy but it was good. They have some interesting flavors like green tea and birthday cake, as well as classic flavors like mint n chip and butter pecan.
I WISH:
I really liked the texture of the cookies, but I wish that they could have warmed them up a bit to have deliciously warm cookies hugging the ice cream. I think that would elevate their concept a little bit to make the sandwiches extra special.
The BAD:
Also, I don’t know if this is standard protocol for how they do things but… when I ordered my sandwich, the girl helping me got the cookies from the tray and straight placed them on the counter. Right on the counter. No napkin, or parchment paper underneath or anything. It wasn’t a work station, just plain counter. I meant the counter looked clean, but it also just didn’t seem right.

Meh. Compared to Diddy Riese or CREAM, this place is really mediocre.
The cookies weren’t good; I got the white chocolate chip cookie & snicker doodle. They were grainy and chewy. It probably would have been better if they heated up the cookies first.
The ice cream was not good either. I tried the green tea ice cream and it tasted nothing like green tea. If anything, they should rename the green tea ice cream to «flower perfume» cause that is exactly what it tasted like. However, my sister got the strawberry cheesecake ice cream and she enjoyed it.
Overall, everything was way too sweet. The price was good. You can’t beat $ 2 for a ice cream cookie sandwich. The service was okay as well.

Niece: «Oh, look! A new ice cream place!»
Me: «Hmm, looks a little empty inside… I wonder if they’re open yet.»
Niece: «Let’s try it! It’s only $ 2 [pointing to the poster outside the store]!»
Me: «OK, let’s go!»
My niece and I came here after having dinner around the area and, on our way to my car, my niece saw Slickables. We were already full but – you know how it is – there’s always room for dessert! :)
Slickables is located in the UV plaza just south of UCR next to Boba Café.
Pretty standard menu items comparable to Diddy Riese in Los Angeles: cookies, ice cream, brownies, milkshakes, etc. The prices are excellent and cleverly located next to a college campus.
Although a little thin, their cookies were soft and chewy. Your choice of ice cream flavor sandwiched in between and you’ve got an irresistible ice cream sandwich! I would love if their ice cream had a creamier «churned/​homemade» texture. It was very similar to Thrifty Ice Cream. I guess that’s okay considering it was only $ 2.00!
Overall, a bang for the buck for the typical college student or just an average dessert for the serious foodie.
