Had avocado gelato tonight at Dolce Gelato. Wow was that good!!! If you like avocados and/or ice-cream, you should definitely give it a try. There were a lot of other flavors that looked amazing. Probably take weeks to try them all. But you should definitely try the avocado gelato. I give them 8 out of 10 stars

Tons of unique flavors! I love their large selection of sorbets in the summer in addition to their gelato. The Lono is this really good ginger sweet potato gelato that basically tastes like a ginger snap cookie in ice cream form. The kamohoali’li was very refreshing- lime coconut with a curaçao. We love coming back here every time! FYI there’s a 3 sample limit so choose wisely!

Hidden gem in laguna beach and the staff is always so friendly. Always recommend it to my friends and family who are visiting

Very bad customer service. They just stand there and watch you, don’t offer any help or greet you in any way to acknowledge your existence. The workers look like they despise your existence. The workers need more training for sure, I’d be fired at my job if I treated customers that way. First time I went it was a similar experience but at least she gave me decent sized scoops. When I went today the scoops were tiny. Would recommend taking your money elsewhere.

Dolce Gelato in Laguna Beach has hands-down the best vegan gelato in Orange County. Their dairy-free options aren’t just an afterthought—they’re genuinely delicious and thoughtfully made. The almond milk chai flavor is rich and spiced just right, and the fruit sorbets taste bright and fresh. I love that they rotate in new vegan flavors regularly, so there’s always something new to try. The best part is that the staff are kind and happy to let you sample.

Excellent!

Dolce Gelato in Laguna Beach is a nice spot for a sweet treat after a day by the ocean. The gelato is good—not the best I’ve ever had, but still enjoyable with a decent selection of flavors. What really stands out is the service. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and happy to let you sample before you decide.

The place is also very clean, which is always a plus when grabbing dessert. If you’re in the area and craving gelato, it’s worth a stop. While it may not be the most amazing gelato ever, the combination of good flavors, great service, and a clean, inviting space makes it a solid choice!

This ice cream shop has some great qualities that make it worth a visit. The variety of flavors is impressive, and the unique cone options add a fun twist to the experience. Plus, the location is unbeatable—right by the ocean with a stunning view that makes enjoying your treat even more special. It’s the perfect spot to grab a cone and take in the scenery.

That said, the prices are definitely on the higher side, which can make it feel like a splurge rather than an everyday treat. While the quality and atmosphere are nice, the cost might leave you wondering if it’s entirely worth it, especially if you’re visiting with a group.

Overall, it’s a solid 3-star experience. The combination of unique flavors, creative cones, and the beautiful ocean view makes it a memorable stop, but the steep prices keep it from being a must-visit every time .

This is the superior gelato shop in Laguna Beach. The flavors are unique and on constant rotation and the scoops come in several sizes. (Might be a silly thing to point out but other places offer only one size). Highly recommend!

Dietary restrictions: Many dairy free and alternative options!

Very friendly staff!! They had eight vegan options: 4 sorbets and 4 vegan gelatos with almond or coconut milk. They were very tasty and gave generous portions albeit a little pricey (on par with the area). My parents and I would return in a heartbeat.
