“Just stopped for our second time because this place is the bomb for Gelato !!! Visiting from out of town and love gelato so we tried it out. Not disappointed at all !!! They also just opened location on Balboa Island…..so don’t waste your time on the overhyped Balboa Bars or frozen bananas, because this Gelato blows them out of the water. Met the owner and he’s very passionate about his product !!!“

“We had an incredible experience at the Newport Beach, California location of Salt and straw ice cream. We heard it was amazing and we were not disappointed! Adel, our server, was off the charts. Friendly, fun and knowledgeable about every ice cream flavor. For me personally, the milk tea with white chocolate crunch was out of this world. In fact, it’s so good, that we’re gonna go back again tonight and have a double scoop. I’m addicted! This place is incredible. You will not be disappointed.“

“Takayuki Dessert offers a refreshing and modern dessert experience that pairs perfectly with a meal next door at BCD Tofu House. The shop focuses on clean flavors, soft textures, and visually appealing presentations that feel both comforting and elevated. The desserts strike a balance between sweetness and lightness, making them enjoyable without feeling heavy. Service is friendly and efficient, and the environment stays calm even during peak dessert hours. The menu offers enough variety to satisfy both classic and adventurous dessert preferences.

The space is clean, bright, and easy to relax in, making it a pleasant stop for a quick treat or a slow, casual dessert break. Parking becomes easier later in the evening, which aligns well with dessert timing. The ingredients taste fresh, and the portion sizes feel fair for the price. The shop’s atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the desserts consistently deliver on flavor and presentation. Takayuki stands out as a reliable, high‑quality dessert spot that enhances the dining experience in the plaza and leaves a memorable final impression.“

“Delicious variety of cookies and so many milks to choose from. pure heaven“

“We had a darling ice cream and it was nice. My kid really wanted strawberry ice cream. I didn’t notice that they had a strawberry flavor until after I received our order. One of the staff members noticed that my son was hoping for strawberry(even though we didn’t talked in English!!) and kindly offered to add strawberry sauce on top.

My son was so happy and satisfied! I really appreciate how kind and thoughtful the staff were. There were two staff members working, and both of them were incredibly nice and helpful.“

“Great ice cream. With lots of great flavors.“

“I had the black cherry shake one of the best shakes I ever had will definitely recommend it to anyone my girlfriend had the strawberry shake and it didn’t disappoint us they were both good. The donuts are delicious made to order hot and fresh 🤤. I love the peanut butter and their cinnamon one. Can’t wait to go back and try other items.“

“One particularly hot night my mom and I searched, “Best Gelato near me” and the top result was Mangiamo! After eating the gelato 3 times in a row, we can definitely say that title is well earned! The Double Chocolate flavor is for sure the best chocolate flavored Gelato in the whole state of California; not to mention it’s totally authentic too! The server is also incredibly kind and pleasant to talk to. Overall, this place is such a phenomenal experience and we would highly recommend it for vacationers and gelato connoisseurs alike!“

“Such a great piece full place to go to weather just to walk around yourself, walking your dog, hiking, sports or just laying down having a picnic with someone special you'll completely enjoy it as if you was the only one there but there are many people enjoying their time just the same.“

“Julie, you are an absolute gem at Crumbl!
Every time I come in, your smile and energy make my whole day better. You always know exactly what to recommend and make the experience so fun. Thank you for being such a bright spot in every visit — keep doing what you’re doing, you’re killing it!“

“Best cotton candy characters!!! If you have a kiddo or love cotton candy, you have to visit this place at least once. It never disappoints. The staff is friendly, quality is superb, temperature controlled environment. It can get busy when it opens so get there early or be prepared to wait 30-60 minutes. Pro Tip: Go later in the afternoon 4ish and there is usually little to no wait times.“

“Best frozen yogurt on the planet!“

“Busters Real ice cream is as advertised. Its real ice cream. Unfortunately it was a real disappointment for everyone in the family. Maybe we are too used to excess sugar in other ice cream brands. Its price was reasonable for what you get. The ice cream selection was not as wide a variety as other places one may choose. For my family, there was a cloud of disappointment as the ice cream was not as sweet as we all desired after a long bike ride at the beach. We will not be back anytime soon. I am giving 4 stars because they are reasonably priced and prompt to complete the orders. I also believe there are people out there that desire less sugar in their ice cream. This place is perfect for those people.“

“Its a cute little spot right off the coast. But if you go you have to get the ice cream bar not the soft serve. A million times better and they dip it in marshmallow fluff then they torch it. Its so good. The soft serve is pretty mid but its still good. Lots of good toppings to choose from and a decent bathroom“

“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! ❤“

“Very good ice cream. Lots of flavors to choose from“

“I love this place funnel cakes are very good and the place is very nice and the workers are friendly and that is all I have to say“

“I got ice cream and it fell off the cone on to the cement just after leaving the shop. The clerk came out and offered me a new scoop this time in a cup. Absolutely made my day.“

“On the pricey side but, clean and usually a really good flavor selection.“

“Very good frozen yogurt. nice and clean inside. BUT..... Horrible Staff. young girl is sweet but the 3 old ladies were extremely Rude, Crabby, and Mean“

“This place has some of the best shakes around. I always get the strawberry/chocolate shake and it is awesome!The gelato pops are great too. They have a ton of flavors that can be personalized with additional toppings.The employees are super nice too.Definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for gelato, creamy shakes with real fruit, or a cool cheesecake pop, try this place for sure.“

“Visited Remicone ice cream shop, cute place! I tried the berry special, which was very fresh, not syrupy. The milk ice cream base was smooth and clean while the strawberry glaze added just the right amount of sweetness. The crumble and meringue were perfect toppings. Customer service was great. Definitely will visit again!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Absolutely delicious and the perfect Fun Zone stop!

Just had the mint chocolate chip and it was fantastic—super creamy with great flavor and nice chocolate chunks throughout. The shop itself is a really cool, vibrant spot right in the heart of Balboa Fun Zone. Friendly service, fresh treats, and exactly what you want after walking around the pier, riding the Ferris wheel, or hitting the arcade.

Cowafornia is now my go-to ice cream spot in Newport Beach. Highly recommend!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Stopped by Cold Stone Creamery in Huntington Beach today and had a great experience. Nikki took care of me, super friendly and chill. She made my lemon strawberry ice cream just right, and everything tasted fresh and organic. The ice cream was fire! Big shoutout to Nikki for the amazing service, really appreciate you!“

“Their ice cream is delicious the reason why I only put four stars instead of 5 is because if you want a pint of a specific kind and they don't have it they will offer to scoop out a pint for you. But they don't pack it down so realistically you're only getting 1/3 of a pint but paying for a full. 😑“

“What a fantastic little gem! I've been here a few times this month, and each visit has been completely delightful, with so many yummy treats to enjoy. They have an amazing number of ice cream flavors (more than 31 flavors I bet) and there's lots of seating so you can hangout and savor every bit of your ice cream! Just look at how happy this little one is with his ice cream cone—pure joy! 🍦🎉 so glad it's local and in Hb. Took the kids right after school 👏“
