50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Laguna Beach

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

“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.“

The service was amazing
Haley let my 3 year old son taste test at least 10 different flavors to make sure that he got the ONE flavor he really wanted. We walked over after returning our bikes right across the street. Everything was really clean and all of the staff had genuine smiles on their faces that made for a wonderful environment.
We will make this a staple stop for every future trip to Newport. Thank you Haley
Aloha 🌺🤙🏼“

“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. 🍪“

“Oh Em Gee!!!! This is thee cutest little place, the ordering system is super efficient, there were a ton of customers placing orders with no wait. The GIANORMOUS, warm cookies come out quickly and the boxes are so freaking cute. Definitely worth a stop, be sure to bring your sweet tooth ??“

“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.“

“Locals know the Best Frozen Bananas on Balboa Island.Better than Dads or Sugar and spice.Sorry - No old school nostalgia but definitely best Bananas and Fro Yo. We’ve tried them all for years.Tutti Frutti actually waits for their Bananas to ripen before freezing. So they are sweet. No tart frozen green bananas here.Heath bar topping is our favorite topping.“

“So yummy and the workers are so nice!“

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

“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 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽“
