Ice Cream Shops near Aliso Viejo

“Nékter in Aliso is faster, cheaper, and much more customer friendly than any of the other Nékters in OC! As I was running in to get a juice, this morning, I accidentally dropped my reusable cup and the rim broke off. The darling sales associate firmly told me that they wanted to replace it, for free (sweetly waving away my protests that it was my fault for dropping my old one). They even gave me the $.50 reusable cup discount on my juice. Thank you, for brightening my day!!“

“Just felt like I needed a little ice cream cone today 😀“

“We called in to see if this Coldstone could make a cake for us with our baby’s gender. We spoke with Jaimie and she assured us that she could take our gender results (still unknown to us) and decorate a cake of our choice. She was very helpful, wrapped the cake in tissue paper and stapled the bag to conceal the surprise. My wife and I were then able to have our own surprise gender reveal at home. We opened the nicely decorated ice cream cake and were shocked to see we are expecting a boy! Thanks for your help in making this a special event for us Jaimie and Coldstone Creamery.“

“Best Ice Cream around, so many great flavors. I can't wait to try them all“

“Excellent ice cream shop! The frozen bananas are top tier, perfect consistency. All of the toppings are amazing. The soft serve is excellent. You can't go wrong with anything you order. It's on the main drag close to a bunch of stops and restaurants. It's a must visit whenever I'm in SC.“

“Dolce Gelato is by far the BEST Gelato! Both the vegan and non-vegan options are uniquely crafted and simply scrumptious.“

“This place is super cute and perfect to take the kids, family, or date for a sweet delight. They even serve homemade affordable meals.

We enjoyed a lunch date here which consisted of:
Purple rice yogurt (most popular dessert)
mango pomelo yogurt (my favorite)
Strawberry probiotic tea (so refreshing and easy to drink)
Pineapple coconut jelly
Bbq wings
steam dumplings (half the price of Din Tai Fung and still good!)
lobster ball (I love lobster)
popcorn chicken
braised pork with rice (my favorite dish here)“

“i'm from LA and have been SEARCHING for a gelato shop that makes it the authentic italian way, with no artificial dyes/flavors and the correct texture. i stumbled across this place while in newport with my family and knew i had to try it immediately when i saw the way the gelato is stored (in the steel tins, as opposed to giant mountains like most places in the US). definitely not disappointed. the flavors were done perfectly and not overly sweet, and you could so tell it was natural. i honestly think it's worth the 2 hour drive from LA to come back here🤣 please open a second location“

“Best ice cream in town! I especially love the coconut cream pie. My family loves the Monkey Business too. Customer service is top notch. Isaac, my server was friendly and helpful. Will be back!“

“And great for teenagers, Parents, singles and pups! Ice Snow infused with soft serve. The flavored are endless!!“

“We stopped by Dana Point to visit Salt Creek and to my surprise, there was a Rita’s! We’re from Philadelphia so we were very surprised and happy to find a Rita’s! We ordered a blueberry and watermelon gelati and it was delicious! The custard YUM. The Italian ice— perfect consistency! Thank you for your fine establishment!“

“SomiSomi in Irvine is an absolute five-star spot for dessert lovers! The soft serve is incredibly smooth, creamy, and full of flavor — especially when paired with their freshly made taiyaki cones that come out warm and perfectly crisp. The mix of hot and cold makes every bite amazing.

The store is clean, modern, and well-run, with a fun and inviting vibe. The staff are friendly and patient, even when it’s busy, and the presentation of everything is always picture-perfect. They offer plenty of unique flavors and toppings, so there’s always something new to try.

Whether you’re a local or just visiting Irvine, this place is a must-visit for a sweet treat that never disappoints. Five stars all the way!“

“We 🖤 Handel’s!!! Such a fun experience every time. 👻 👻 👻“

“Great selection of flavors, high quality ingredients and so delicious! You won't miss the dairy 😉“

“Really love this ice cream shop! They have a vegan chocolate chip peanut butter flavor that is so creamy, you can’t even tell it’s made with almond milk. It definitely hits the spot when I’m craving ice cream. It is located in a small shopping strip along Pacific Coast Highway in Dana Point. There is a small parking lot to the side as well as more parking above the shopping center. It’s a great place to walk and less than 10 minutes from Dana Point Harbor. They are also open late, which is a plus!“

“Phenomenal ice cream with a delicious honey on top. This place doesn't have nearly the attention it should. The price is a little high for the quantity of ice cream, but the quality and flavor more than make up for it. One of my favorite dessert places in a town full great desserts.“

“Took my Grandson's after an afternoon at thr Skate Park. Small, but plenty of seats.“

“Delicious and you can still get a good old fashioned malt!“

“Fun and unique flavors like tarot, cucumber & elderflower, pineapple & ginger. They also offer dairy free and vegan ice creams as well! So delicious and their staff is super friendly too!“

“Freshly made creamy ice cream every day!“

“This place is tasty. Very sugary sweet treats, but yummy. We ordered one bar and one soft serve type, but the soft serve is a way better base. The girls working the ice cream shop were young, but attentive. But, they had no AC in the shop which was really brutal with our hot summer. I asked one of the girls about the heat and she said the AC broke. But, you're in Laguna Beach, charging top dollar, have a busy flow of people non-stop and have ice cream and workers that need to be supported with cooler conditions. I hope the owners chopse to address the cooling conditions.“

“Simply the best yogurt I’ve ever tasted and would always enjoy trying all the flavors! Burp!! (Excuse me! 😋🤭“

“Been coming here since it opened. Great variety of flavors and since I am an insulin dependent diabetic, I am delighted they always have a "no sugar added" choice! Staff is friendly and helpful. �� Two thumbs up from me!“

“Friendly staff and very clean store! We got a large strawberry ice cream with brownies and sprinkles to share. We came for the ice cream but walked out with huge smiles because the service is so sweet and delicious! There were plenty of ice cream cakes readily available in the fridge for purchase! Will definitely be back!
Highly recommend..“

“I’m a regular customer here. I love the variety of healthy items and all of the customization possible. Friendly professional Staff!!! I’m a ‘lifer’“

“The Acai bowls are amazing!! Glazed Donut Fro-yo is another of my favorites!!“

“The best ice cream in Los Angeles!!!“

“Super fun, themed flavors. The Gelato has a nice pull. No artificial colors or flavors. We drive to Dolce Gelato just to taste what is new.
Would be five stars but the espresso pulled for the afagato was horrible. It ruined my icecream.“

“Good yogurt and toppings, but we were disappointed the girl didn’t want to get the whipped cream, she said “we ran out of whipped cream” yeah right!!!😡“

“Great Italian Ice cream, good service and fun place for all ages!“

“Cookies galore, if you want a cookie, look no more, this confectioners hole in the wall is one of my girlfriend's favorite sweet tooth cures. Small but worth standing in the line of sweet-heads, who all know: Crumbl is the G.O.A.T. 🍪“

“This was my first time ever trying Crumbl Cookies. Today only 11/6, Crumbl Cookies is offering FREE Chocolate Chip Cookie Thins for each visitor that comes in for one; no purchase necessary.

This was a great way for me to try them out for the first time. When I first walked in, I didn’t expect the place to look so clean!

It was spick and span and there were cookies laid out in front. There were two women working at the time. I didn’t catch the name of the girl I spoke to.

I came in and asked her if they were giving away FREE Cookies today and she said they were. She told me what to press on the machine to order my cookies. She wasn’t very friendly though. I placed my order she handed me my cookies and I told her this was my first visit.

Usually when I tell a business that I’m a first-time customer, they’re more open to explaining what they have, who they are, their process, etc. I don’t get that this time. I also noticed after I grabbed my cookies, she kinda spied on me in odd way as I was leaving.

As far as the cookies, I honestly didn’t expect to receive two! I give them a 3.5/5. They tasted like chocolate chip ginger cookies to me, which was good.

I may visit a Crumbl Cookies again if they have some better flavors I’d like to try and some more warming customer service.“

“I love this place! They have fresh fruit to add to your yogurt! And I love that I can build my own small cup of goodness!!!“

“KELSIE KELSIE KELSIE....I had to take the time to give my sincere and true appreciation for one of the workers at this location. She always has the best energy and her smile is soo warming. Tonight she turned out what was going to be a disaster birthday for my roommate and totally turned it around for me. They were out of the deliciously AMAZING Oreo Cream Pie Cookie ( IF YOU HAVNT HAD THIS YOU'RE TOTALLY MISSING OUT) for the day and it was 20 mins from closing. She went above and beyond to make sure I left with enough Oreo Pies and then some to complete my birthday desert gift and I cant THANK HER ENOUG!!! KELSIE THANK YOU FOR BEING A GREAT EMPLOYEE AND GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND FOR ME TONIGHT. ITS EMPLOYEES LIKE YOU THAT WILL KEEP ME COMING TO THIS STORE ONLY AND TELLING ALL MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY ABOUT YOUR LOCATION. I GREATLY APPRECIATE YOUR KINDNESS AND HARD WORK 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽“

“You guys were absolutely awesome today and I appreciate the safety protocol up in the restaurant due to Covid and the mask policy! I will definitely come back again! Fabulous food and service! ❤“

“i really like crumbl!! i would totally give this 5 stars but this specific one though is closest to my house and they have not done any special hometown picks or fun features that other crumbls do through the app. i have been waiting to see some fun hometown picks for the RSM location but sadly i only see Foothill Ranch doing it. Compared to Foothill Ranch, the RSM crumbl customer service is mediocre, as no one seems like they want to be working there however the cookies are great nonetheless i just hope i start seeing more fun stuff in the app for the RSM location!!“

“Delicious ice cream and very clean place!“

“Very Good Donuts!! Fresh Made“

“Amazing service and quality . The owner was super helpful in getting my customized ice cream cake for my son’s birthday . Everyone loved it . Thank you for making the experience memorable . Highly recommended place for quality , variety of options and great service .“

“My treat when I do good PT. I love this place! Yum“

“So yummy and the workers are so nice!“

“These cookies are amazing and best in Orange County. We got an assortment of 4 cookies in a bright pink box that the family loved as a desert treat after dinner. They had chocolate chip and frosting and sprinkles on their cookies.Love this place with great service as well.“

“Love this yoghurt and I haven’t had it in years because of lack of accessibility. So glad we are visiting here and they have it!!!
Bella did a great job in doing our orders and asking helpful questions to make sure we get what we wanted and how we wanted it to be! Love her work ethics!“

“As the days of our lives, so the Yogurtland churns.“

“brought my family from Texas here after dinner. everybody loved their snow. the best flavor is mango although everything is goos.“

“It was kind of busy with just one employee but he was very focused on each customer's experience. When he got to us it was like we were his first customers of the day although I could see how hard he was working. Great work, nice to see. Oh and the ice cream was really good too.“

“Very good I love this place ���������������������“

“The cookies are delicious, definitely would come again. They have weekly flavors, so you never get tired of the same old cookies. I got the Benson Boone Moonbeam Ice cream cookie, and it’s amazing. My favorite cookie, however, is the original chocolate chip cookie, it’s super sweet and warm, and topped with sea salt. Luckily, the original chocolate chip is always a choice of cookies you can buy.“
