“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)“

“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!“

“Rita’s in Dana is always such a treat! The staff is super friendly, the service is quick, and everything is always fresh and delicious. The Italian ice and custard combos are amazing—perfect on a hot day. The shop is clean, welcoming, and has that fun local vibe that makes you want to keep coming back. Definitely a go-to spot for anyone craving something sweet!“

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

“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!“

“We accidentally stumbled upon this place since we had a late dinner and we’re craving something sweet. This was one of the few places that was open past 10:30 PM and after one visit I can confidently say it is now our favorite dessert spots in Irvine!“

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

“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.“

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

“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 best ice cream in Los Angeles!!!“

“Absolutely love this place! The ice cream is top-notch—super creamy and packed with flavor. I could come here every day and never get tired of it. The portions are generous, and the waffle cones are always fresh. Staff is friendly and quick to serve. Can’t recommend it enough!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

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

“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!!!😡“

“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. 🍪“

“I got their mango pomelo sago and it was really good...perfect amount of sweetness, with some bits of pomelo and mango to make it very flavorful. I've also had their purple rice yogurt before, too, and enjoyed the slight saltiness and chew of the rice that compliments the tart yogurt. so delicious! service was also good. server was nice and made my drink fresh. I'll be coming back for sure 😊“

“es mi primera vez que vengo , mi hija me trajo y lo recomiendo muchísimo, está limpio, el servicio es buenísimo , siguen todas las medidas sanitarias, las paletas riquísimas , maneje 30 minutos y lo voy a seguir haciendo . me gustó mucho el lugar“

“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 love their cookies so muchh!! The workers are amazing and the cookies are always warm and tasty😼😼

Dietary restrictions: I have a peanut/nut allergy and i haven't had an allergic reaction yet, even when they have peanut cookies“

“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!!“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“I am new to ordering from Crumbl, but I tend to preorder my cookies to have on the weekend as a little treat to an otherwise strict diet during the week. Crumbl of Foothill Ranch has never let me down. Each order is easy to place, I get updates as my order date gets closer, and everything always arrives on time, in tact, just as described, and packaged with care. Can always count on the Foothill location for my Saturday Snack fix!!“

“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.“

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

“This place takes ice cream to the next level! They mix your favorite flavors and toppings right in front of you on a frozen slab which was pretty unique.

I tried one of their signature mixes and the texture was smooth, the mix-ins were well-balanced (not just dumped on top), and the portion was generous. Their shakes are also great , thick and flavourful.“

“Some of the employees here are lazy and not friendly. Some are outstanding. It depends on who you get. I’ve walked in multiple times and girls are sitting around talking about life or on their phones without an acknowledgement. Then when they’re asked a question, they seem annoyed.“

“There’s so many people that come here before 1 o’clock and you guys are never open OK I’m one of them. There’s like six more people that came to the door but you guys weren’t open. I think 1 o’clock is too late. More people turning away 🤷🏻‍♀️ and please make sure your fruit is fresh Yesterday it was pretty bad“

“So yummy and the workers are so nice!“

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

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

“I tried their Salted Caramel and Taro flavors with lychees, kiwis, bananas, mango fruits. It was delicious. The combination of the fruits with the caramel and the taro frozen yogurts was to die for. I hope those flavors are around next weekend. I’m going again 🍦😳🍦“

“Shoutout to Christina for this amazing Labubu cake (and yes, it’s an ice cream cake!!). She was super attentive and even called the day before to make sure she got the design and colors just right. They seriously need to give her a raise!“

“Wanted to give a shout out to Menchie’s Frozen Yogurt in San Clemente by Walmart. I went in to grab gift cards. I needed 5 $5 cards for party favors for my daughter's birthday. They were out of gift cards. The gentleman working there must have been the owner. He asked how many I needed. I said 5. He said today is your lucky day, opened his wallet and GAVE ME 5 gift cards for $5 each FOR FREE! Seriously, who does that?! I wish I had gotten his name. Wow Wow Wow. I will forever be grateful and def make sure we go there for yogurt. Thank you Menchie's!“
