“True NY style deli, fantastic quality, and the service is memorable. Denise is amazing! She makes my day every time I order. Also, their fountain coke is SO good. They are always packed but attentive and quick to make your order. So grateful to have a spot like this in Newport! Great local shop.“
“Great local frozen yogurt spot, been a favorite for years and love my half chocolate/vanilla large with heath bar and smashed peanut butter cups. Staff are friendly and decent number of options to put together a great afternoon treat to cool off on a hot day or post dinner desert!“
“was looking for a dessert place in OC and lo and behold, a italian ice and custard place! my friend and i came around night time and it was fairly busy. there was one man serving and cashiering so understandably there was a small wait. he was so kind and i can tell with every order he was being purposeful with the way he put it together. i ordered the strawberry milkshake and it was sweetness overload in all the right ways. i will say the italian ice itself is not too strong in flavor so i tried to make sure every bite had some custard with it. the place is bright and they have lots of variety of flavors so come and try it out!“
“I don't even like ice cream, it's one of my least favorite desserts. But you know what? I was HUMBLED. Stella Jean is THAT girl!!! Not to be the person that's like "sweet but not too sweet", but the ice cream here is truly that. I tried the Ube Pandesal, Mango Sticky Rice, and seasonal Earl Grey Tea Cake, and they all popped off. Rich, creamy, fun (you get the pandesal and rice element in the respective flavors) -- but without being grossly saccharine. We stan Stella!!!“
“OMG, best Ice Cream (gelato) I've ever had!! it was definitely worth the wait in the long line. My family is visiting on vacation and this was an absolute hidden local gym to find! Too many amazing flavors to choose from! this is a place you keep coming back to so that you can try the whole menu!“

“This is a great local ice cream spot! They had many (at least 20) different ice cream flavors. After being informed their most popular flavors are something with Oreo, I ordered the Coffee Oreo and Birthday Cake ice creams (I ordered both in a small cup). No wonder Oreo is the most popular as both flavors were full of large Oreo chunks. The ice cream was flavorful and had a great coffee and cake flavor. Note they do not offer samples, but from what I saw, I’m not sure you could go wrong!“
“This is fun for adults too! My sister, brother and law in I came here after seeing this place on Instagram. It was well worth the drive out of LA. The wait was long but worth it, we got there around 1pm on a Saturday, waited about 15 min in line and then another 30-45 minutes after ordering (we just got one to share between the three of us which was PLENTY)The wait was worth it because you can watch the different characters being made which was so fun. And then they call your name so you get a front and center view. I got the lion because I love lions but they have lots of other characters. The amazing thing is - the cotton candy itself once you eat it is delicious! The different colors are also different flavors and it's so light and fluffy. The cotton candy makers are true artists!“

“This gelato place offers some of the best authentic flavors around. Expect a wait on weekends, but it's worth it. They have a limited selection, but the service staff is friendly. Don't miss out on their delicious Belgian chocolate flavor.“
“Came here twice now delicious both times and have such a clean and yummy smelling environment. The employees are very friendly and we were guaranteed quality service. Totally coming back again!Kid-friendliness: Brought my little sister and brother for his 8th birthday to celebrate and they enjoyed getting to see our order being made and of course being able to have the cookies themselves. Workers were nice to greet us coming in and out of the building, this was a nice experience.“
“A must visit! The milkshakes are to die for and the vibes are cute and cozy. A perfect date night or hangout with friends. They even have vegan ice cream substitutes, games, and serve beer and wine! We just moved to the area last year and passed by this place so many time, so glad we decided to stop in.Vegetarian options: Vegan substitutions available!“
“Looked up best burgers near Rancho Cucamonga and this came up. It got good reviews, so I thought I would give it a shot. Download the app, and you will get a free burger with purchase of personal fries, or a shake, not just a burger, ANY burger on the menu. Who does that! I ordered a cheeseburger, fries and a coffee shake. Nadia took my order, she was nice , pleasant. Got my order within 5 mins. Fries are home cut, fresh not frozen. Fantastic. Burger was awesome. Shake was good. Overall, just awesome. I would recommend. you wont be disappointed.“
“The place is such a vibe! It's clean and the girl that made the items was very nice and helpful (fast too!) I got the pepino loco and the mangoneada and was very pleased with both. Their paletas look very good and they have water based ones too (for the people that can't have dairy or might not like dairy). I will definitely be coming back!“
“such a cute lil place! so many options that all looked sooooo yummy it was hard to pick! even tho it's small there's plenty of room to stop and eat! the woman behind the counter was very friendly and patient, but super fast! apple pay & card friendly as well :) great experience !“
“Always love coming to Salt & Straw for some tasty unique ice cream flavors. If you're a foodie, you gotta check out the flavors that Salt & Straw puts out! I came here with a group of 4 and our six month old (just along for the ride) after grabbing dinner in Laguna Beach. We got lucky in getting here while the line wasn't huge...our group had fun trying a bunch of flavors before placing an order. We had 4 split single scoops. I'm a personal fan of the Honey & Lavender classic flavor, but I know it's not everyone's thing.It was about $32 for 4 ice creams, which is certainly on the higher-end side, but a single scoop is huge and it's a good value for their house made delicious flavors. Certainly recommend trying this Portland, OR original gem that has made its way down to Southern California.“
“I could have cried tears of joy. It is nearly impossible to eat dessert with my family being that I am gluten free and dairy free and they are not. Enter Milk & Cookies!! I did an actual happy dance. The dairy free vanilla ice cream with the gluten free chocolate chip cookie was outstanding. I understand the rave reviews and my only complaint is that there isn't one right by my house! lol“

“I recently visited this charming ice cream shop after noticing its impressive 4.8-star rating, and I must say, it didn't disappoint. My curiosity led me to order the Hot Fudge Sundae, priced at a reasonable $7.50. The experience was as delightful as the sundae itself, which you can see in the attached photo - truly a work of art in a bowl.The staff at this establishment were incredibly welcoming and friendly, adding to the overall positive atmosphere of the shop. It's worth noting that the shop primarily caters to takeout orders, which is perfect for enjoying a sweet treat on the go or in the comfort of your own home.In conclusion, this ice cream shop is a must-visit for anyone looking to indulge in high-quality, delicious ice cream served with a smile. Their attention to detail, from the presentation of their sundaes to their customer service, sets them apart from the rest. A hidden gem indeed!“
“No trip to Balboa Island is complete without stopping and getting a frozen banana and occassionally some ice cream here. The banana’s are big enough to share and have a variety of delicious flavors. Highly recommended.Parking: Finding a nearby parking spot can be rough, especially on the weekend.“
“That was some really good gelato. I think I've been here once before Today I tried the pistachio, which was amazing. The prices are reasonable. But I gotta say for being such a delicious gelato with excellent reviews. The least you guys could do is get new toilets. It was disgusting in the bathroom horrible I was gonna take a picture of the toilet and post it on here but I didn't want to do that! They need to do some remodeling in that bathroom!“
“I went in with my girlfriend today and I didn’t catch her name but a very nice woman was there and was so patient and explained all the process and THE DONUTS WHERE SO GREAT!! We didn’t even make it to the car from the restaurant with them xD so fresh and good!!!“
“I've been to several locations at this point, and this one is solid just like the others. I do wish Somi Somi would bring back their fruit or mini macaron topping, but I digress. I got the taiyaki and my usual upside down ah-boong. I also went for one of my favorite flavors, the milk, topped with my usual Oreo and graham cracker topping. I got my usual filling as well, the custard. Overall, I was happy. Definitely would come back.“
“When people are lining up to get in, it's hard to guarantee the quality, when people are going to get tired of working like crazy from all the demand. BUT I must say, I can't complain with what I got. 붕어빵 was fresh, and the 팥 was nice and sweet. This totally made up for that mediocre dim sum a couple stalls down.“
“Love this place as a great treat to take my grandkids : ))Delicious flavors to choose from and a very nice buffet selection of toppings. Always clean and well stocked. The owner is very nice and personable. Thank you for providing such a great mainstay for our community!“
“I recently required a replacement of my car's windshield and received repair facilities that spoke highly of Coast Auto Glass. I wasn't disappointed with their very professional repair service giving me a complete explanation of their service which proceeded with no problems. Their service was excellent and I highly recommend their customer support and flawless work. I“
“I asked the whole staff for there favorite flavor they gave it to me no hesitation this CHRIStmas eve 2023 @ 4 pm all 4 staff were very helpful and even gave me a cup at the end with my cone give these guys a raise good job yall gelato tastes great to MERRY “
“Came here after dinner in Fountain Valley. Cool concept here. I've seen it'll over social media of food vendors who use those techniques in other countries but never here. They use an anti griddle to make their concoctions. They have so many different flavors and choices. They have a whole bunch of choices on their walls with pictures, but they have even more choices found on their menu at the counter. They even have drinks and other kinds of desserts. The dessert comes out quickly. You can watch them make it on the anti griddle. The layout is weird. They have more seating towards the back. Even a fooseball table back there to sit and chill. The guy working the register was kinda mean and short; didn't like his attitude or tone. But I think that's just how he is and doesn't mean anything by it. There's no seating outside. So we just ate in the car. I ordered their caramel coconut delight. It tasted good. Light. But creamy. Not overly sweet. If you're able to pry the rolls out of the cup, it's much better to eat 1 roll at a time as you can feel the different layers, as suppose to eating it like ice cream or yogurt. It's a nice variation to the traditional ice cream or soft serve or yogurt you find everywhere else. It's a good way to end the night!!“
“I'm from the east coast and I always try to make an effort to stop by Honeymee. I've also introduced to me east coast friends and they're always in love. Creamy and love the honey! Price is also reasonable. Was able to try the matcha this time and it was pleasant.“

“I am usually not an ice creamer eater but I LOVE their custard. It's creamy but not overly sweetened like other ice cream. I am addicted to their ice cream after all! I have tried many flavors, taro, coffee, lychee, pistachios and vanilla. They are all SO delicious and I can't wait to try other flavors. Their customer services are top notch, super friendly and welcoming. I will definitely come back for more.“
“I went with a group of people and we all tried the funnel cake with strawberry and churros. We loved the variety of dessert options they have. We also enjoyed the fact that the funnel cake and churros are freshly made. The strawberry topping was just a little too sweet for us. The churro was crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside with the perfect ratio of sugar and cinnamon. The customer service was very nice and generous when we asked for extra plates.“
“Ordered the legendary Balboa Bar! It was busy but not overly crowded and there's plenty of community seating in the little shopping area. Service was quick and excellent. The bar was delicious and so fresh--it's also MASSIVE! They also don't skimp on the toppings so it can end up being pretty dense! Recommend sharing!“
“SO BOMBALICIOUS LIKE 9/11 they all taste so good sum r rlly sweet tho but my fav is sum peanut butter 1 that had chocolate and I was craving peanut butter so it was so bomb I loved it and u should go guys they're so delicious XOXO gossip girl“
“Ube and Matcha Marvels!Tried Ube and Matcha at this ice cream spot, and even as a non-matcha fan, I was pleasantly surprised. Both flavors were delightful—Ube was rich, Matcha was surprisingly good. Highly recommend checking them out for a unique and tasty ice cream experience!“
“Popbar has been a long time favorite of mine! I usually get Pistachio popGelato with Milk Chocolate, Hazelnut and White Chocolate Drizzle. I've also had a Vanilla Sundae popGelato. Sometimes I get Matcha. I would go out of my way to come here.The pistachio flavor is amazing, it's my favorite! Ok I haven't tried every single flavor to say it's the best but I have tried some others, they are good but so far I've liked pistachio the most. Green Tea is my second favorite. Vanilla is good too but not my top choice. Get any flavor you want, you can't go wrong, they'll all be good. I like that the ice cream is hard enough to stay on a stick but once you bite into it, it's nice and soft and chewy, creamy, has a good bite, not overly hard. I love that you can dip it in chocolate and sprinkle sides on top, these are a must do. I don't know any other ice cream place that sells ice cream on a stick like this, it's very unique here.This one is located in Lot 579 at Pacific City in Huntington Beach. Lot 579 is a food hall and Pacific City is a shopping plaza. It's right across from Huntington State Beach, walkable distance, love that. There is a big parking structure. It's free with validation for the first 2-3 hours depending on the day you go. If you pass this time, you'll have to pay. They offer parking validation here. Service is really friendly. There is some seating inside. You could also go outside and sit at the blocks in Pacific City or just walk around and eat. The inside and outside is very nice, casual yet modern. I think price is fair accounting for inflation, I think the ice cream bar is big but not too big, a good size with the right price, worth it.“
“They have the BEST soft serve, frozen bananas, and ice cream bars!! You have all the toppings in the world to choose from. Southwell never misses. They have two locations, one in San Clemente and one in Laguna Beach. And the service is amazing. I have never had a bad experience. It is so cute inside, they have free parking, they EVEN have a super cute bathroom. You can't get chocolate vanilla swirl soft serve anywhere now, but they have it!! not only that but you can also get a drizzle, and there's many options to choose from. The music is always amazing, and so are the vibes. I usually get the frozen banana, either with the Englishman, which is caramel, and Heath bar, or the castaway, which is toasted coconut and caramel. you have to get it dipped in chocolate. It is so amazing.“
“Pur Bowls definitely became one of my new fav acai spots in the OC area! We came here on a whim while looking for something light to eat before dinner.I was really impressed by how big of a variety they had, when it came to bases, fruits, nut butters, etc... luckily they had a create your own option! We got a 16 oz to share. I was able to try the acai and pur coco (aka blue coconut) bases and both were absolutely delicious and refreshing. They had 4 types of chia puddings to choose from (vanilla, matcha, cocoa, and turmeric cinnamon). We went for the vanilla and it was light and sweet!Toppings are unlimited so the creations you can make are limitless. The space is small and quaint, but has ample seating available for smaller groups.“
“Just stop by, got Mango and salted Caramel, cashier asked me how are you, I said it was ok. She asked why it’s ok? What happened? I said I just had a car accident recently. She was so sweet then asked me may I give you a hug? And also she prayed for me.Those means a lot to me.Many thanks!And in case if I spell wrong, I had her name here.“
“Yogurts Americas Cup is a quick way to get your yogurt fix! Nestled among restaurants on PCH makes its location key. We ate at M xican next store with our favorite family and friends. We even met up with some of our old friends from the Chelsey Latley show. Service was great! Got to taste whatever. Ambiance isnt much but who cares when you are having fun“
“2nd visit here. Ice cream was great the first time, I don't recall if I tried the cookies. Got a couple cookies tonight and, while warm and gooey, they were too gooey. The center is actually still raw. Flavors are there, I like what they're going for. But sadly I had to throw out the best part of the cookie - the center :( I would be willing to try again assuming this was an anomaly.“
“This little shop is so cute, they have frozen yogurt with topping of your choice, candy apples, and chocolate galore. The chocolate is so good. I definitly reconmend. Parking is a little difficult because of all the people and you have to park on street but trust me it is worth it. Prices are great.“
“Handel's is always so good and their ice cream is amazing. It's fun ordering at the window and seeing how much ice cream they have! I always switch up my order but I've never ordered anything that wasn't delicious. They have multiple locations in OC so it's always fun stopping by a new location.“
“Well let me see I ate the warm brownie sundae and the brownie tasted like it was just made it tasted fresh ..not only that I had to visit the lady's room I have never in my life seen a restroom so clean and smelling good just like home ....let me tell you it was squeaky clean very comfortable....I give this BR a 10 out of 10 without a doubt.....you don't believe me visit this store and you will see tooo.....“
“This is such a fun place to grab a treat with friends. I got the cinnamon dipped banana, and it was okay. If I were to go back I would get chocolate, or add on some more toppings. My friend got icecream and she thought it was super good. Grab a treat and walk the shops For more reviews follow me here or on instagram @audrey.pulliam“
“Base: Pitaya, Cocolina, mango. Choc Chia pudding, Mango, strawberry, banana &blueberries. The place was clean. Staff is friendly. Compared to Blue bowl, I like how theres no fruit flies flying around like & this place is closer. Its a dollar more here than blue bowl. I found this place when I was looking at Yelp, then I saw they had UBE I got excited & when I got there they didn't have it. There's a variety of options. The verdict on the bowl, its good. It comes close to blue bowl. My only feedback is the coco lina is not as flavorful as the blue coconut from blu bowl. The portions weren't as generous either. I'd give this place another try.Pleaseeee bring UBE BACK, I'd love to try it.“
“BEST ICE CREAM EVER!!! This Cold Stone location is great, the staff is very kind and the ice cream was delicious, so many flavors and toppings to choose from. I dropped some of my ice cream on the floor. The flavor was so good I could not help to waste it, so I literally licked it off the floor. The woman working was so kind and had no judgement behind her eyes after I completed this action. This location was extremely clean as well, this is also why I had the confidence to lick my ice cream off the floor. This cream was SO yummy! I would recommend Cold Stone ice cream to any, and everyone!“

“Love that you can sample!First time ordering, everyone was very nice and kind.Got a quart of Oreo and it was really good.A unique ice cream for sure, in the best of ways.Very light (as in not super dense), sort of as if you were to take a McDonald’s soft serve and level it up a bunch, mixed with if you tried to make ice cream out of freezing whipped cream.Will be coming back ?Dietary restrictions: They have 1-2 vegan options which is nice“
“This place is nestled inside the Mitsuwa on Culver Dr. They have a great variety of sweet and savory pastries. My favorite bun is the Egg Donut - it's literally a marinated hard boiled egg inside a bun - SUPER GOOD.Their soft serve is also some of the best for the price - forget getting overpriced dessert in Irvine, get an awesome soft serve topped with Golden Grams for ~$5 here!“
“The chai latte was so so good, and the orange cranberry muffin was the best I've ever had. The shop is small, simple and clean. The staff was kind and considerate, especially when asking for recommendations. Perfect quick grab by the pier :)“

“ice cream was not bad but it is a little lacking on flavour. I would go for the thicker ice creams such as chocolate or coffee. I got the one with cookie dough and my husband got the coffee one. Those were better than the other samples we tried.“
“This is a convenient spot for the area and has lots of options in flavors and toppings. It was very busy when I came in on a Thursday night around 8pm. The only thing that wasn't amazing was that there were a large group of kids that had been given spoons by the staff and were going around tasting all the flavors with the SAME spoon by pushing them up under the dispenser so their germs were getting all over every machine. Gross. And it was obviously a norm for the location because then I watched a woman come in and go straight to the staff and ask for a spoon. I'd just request they start buying the paper test cups for single use instead...“
“Just left Golden Spoon in Newport Coast and was helped by Chris who helps us all of the time... Chris is FANTASTIC... kind, courteous, funny, just an all-around great guy!! Thank you so much Golden Spoon Newport Coast for having Chris on your team!! :)“
“Swung by this place for the first time when we were on our way to CDM. There were plenty of street parking on the day that we went. Service was great and we were able to sample a few flavors before deciding what to get. I would say all the flavors are on the stronger side, where you could really taste the natural flavors. I think the espresso flavor was the strongest one i've ever had. We ended up getting two scoops: pistachio and honeycomb. honeycomb 4.5/5: honey flavor was nice and strong and I loved how there was a little crunch to it. definitely on the sweeter side so if you have a big sweet tooth, this is the place to go pistachio 4.5/5: very creamy and nutty and also a bit on the sweeter side. paired well with the waffle piece so might get it in a waffle cone next time.“
