“Great flavors, great people! I highly recommend them!“

“Got the white chocolate raspberry. Asked the worker what she recommended - she recommended brownie which was a very controversial suggestion apparently. 10/10 delicious.

Both workers were quick, efficient, and fun. Solid experience. Get the white chocolate raspberry with, no matter the reaction from the employee is.“

“Heritage Restaurant, Long Beach – A Well-Earned Michelin Star by Michael Broderick. In a city where “Californian” culinary ambition often plays second fiddle to casual dining, Heritage in Long Beach has carved out a place of quiet excellence, earning a well-deserved Michelin star. This intimate dining experience is a testament to ingredient-driven, technique-forward cooking, where flavors are both restrained, unpretentious, and deeply expressive. From the first bite, it was clear that Heritage excels at layering textures and flavors in unexpected ways. The meal began with an Amuse Bouche trio: a delicate prawn cracker topped with sweet Dungeness crab, a green leaf with another seafood salad that was to be eaten like a mini street taco, and balanced with the brightness and light crunch of pickled turnip. A seemingly simple couple of bites, but one that foreshadowed the precision and thoughtfulness of the courses to follow. To cleanse the palate, a mint tea infused with palo santo was served—a meditative interlude that was both refreshing and aromatic, setting the stage for the evening’s journey. The first official course, Crème Caviar, featured Russian Sturgeon Heritage Caviar and chive, a chilled preparation that was rich yet elegantly restrained. This was followed by Kanpachi Crudo, presented with carrot, ginger, and macédoine vegetables, offering a balance of clean ocean flavors against bright, vegetal undertones. Then came what I consider the star of the evening: a dish that fully captured the ethos of Heritage—Hen of the Woods Mushroom, topped in a “sunchoke stew” (crispy fried sunchoke) with fermented mushroom. For an additional $25, an indulgent shaving of black truffle took the dish to another level, transforming it into a sensory experience that evoked the deep, earthy satisfaction of foraging. The interplay of umami-rich elements made this course a masterpiece of textural and flavor contrast. The proteins that followed were executed with equal care. First, a perfectly prepared Rainbow Trout, sauted to perfection with a crispy layer of skin on one side, delicate pink flesh on the other, bathed in a delicate dashi and punctuated with bursts of smoked trout roe in a light creme sauce, which lent salinity and depth. Then, a 32-day dry-aged rib chop, a cut that can sometimes lean too “gamey” in the tradiinal steak house that cuts corners on a post aging trim, yet here was a revelation—tender, deeply beefy, but balanced. Accompanying the dish was sous vide endive, black garlic, and a shaving of Parmesan, which surprisingly lacked the usual sharpness, instead presenting a more rounded, delicate, nutty flavor. Desserts were a study in technique and balance. The first, a Grilled Strawberry with strawberry granita and Meyer lemon crème, was bright and refreshing, its layers revealing different expressions of cool and sweetness. Then came the Coco Craquelin, a delicate choux pastry filled with beurre noisette ganache and banana cremeux, meant to be eaten with the hands—a playful and interactive moment in the meal. Finally, a Sage Basque Cake, its subtle herbaceousness complemented by toasted hemp seeds and lemon curd, provided a grounding, crispy finish. Heritage is the kind of restaurant that doesn’t simply chase trends—it refines them into something personal, something intentional. The execution is confident but never showy, and the experience is paced with precision, allowing each dish to tell its own story. This is not just a meal—it’s a quiet, profound meditation on flavor, technique, and the land from which it all comes. Where other restaurant profess to be a true “Californian” style farm to table experience , Heritage is, without a doubt, a must-visit for anyone who seeks out truly exceptional dining in California.“

“So delicious and so many great choices. The owner and staff were so friendly and fun. Will definitely be back. 🍦“

“Today was our 3rd time at the original rainbow cone in Cypress. I wish I had gotten the name of the employee (maybe manager?) that we interacted with today because she absolutely made our day. I ordered online and sent my two kids in to pick up (mind you they are 8 and 5, but we are practicing being independent and they love doing this) our order. They came back out with 2/3 things we ordered and then the woman hand delivered my milkshake to my car for me. A small gesture that went a long way for a mama who had a sleeping newborn in the car. So glad we recently found this place. The treats are delicious and employees so kind.“

“I have been buying the buttermilk berry cornbread such a unique flavor. It’s so good. I’m so addicted to it. I’ve never tasted such a grape flavor in ice cream ever.“

“Got intrigued with their fresh fruits yogurt drinks so I tried the purple rice yogurt drink. Tastes amazing, not overly sweet. Also got their durian ice cream and omg it tastes like real durian, not the chemical taste. The male staff is friendly and takes his time to explain the products and offers ice cream samples. Wish we had one in my city!“

“Todo muy rico👌 y excelente servicio las muchachas que atienden muy amables ❤️“

“Bombbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb“

“Place is awesome, great dairy free options too for vegan eaters. Shop’s theming is hilarious and took me right back to high school. Staff is friendly and they have a stamp card program! Give them your money!“

“Caramel flavor for the win! And the butter cake was so good. Great CS“

“Ricas nieve y ricas galletas“

“I’m not even exaggerating when I say this is the best dessert I’ve had in a while. The milk shaved ice is so creamy and soft. It melts in your mouth. Combine with the Oreo and Mochi it adds a blast of sweetness in the best way possible. 10/10 had to come back again after two days😂“

“We were out late with the kids and started searching for ice cream in Anaheim near me, and we are so glad we found this place. It was honestly a great experience from start to finish. The ice cream was delicious. The vanilla was smooth and creamy, and the cookie dough had great flavor with plenty of pieces. You can really tell the quality is there.

The service was excellent. The staff was friendly, and welcoming, which made it even better, especially with kids. The place had a great vibe and did not feel rushed at all. This is definitely a spot we will be coming back to whenever we are craving ice cream in Anaheim. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for good ice cream near me.“

“Its my first time here, I got the pistachio, $5.95 for the small cone and the amount they gave me is amazing about 3 scoops especially the pistachios i was chewing for days and i loved it!

Compared to michocana, where they want to charge $4 for one scoop and that scoop is so small it’s as if i was asking for it to be free. I see why the lines can get heavy, its high quality, many flavors to choose from and a great price.“

“Stopped in with my boys and though we generally have good customer service at most Cold Stones with a couple of exceptions a while back at the Garden Grove location on Chapman, Stephanie provided outstanding customer service from the minute we walked in until the minute we walked out. It wasn't a surprise to find out that she was part of the management team when I asked. Seems that you provide a great example to your teammates.“

“I came for my favorite flavor of ice cream, Vanilla. What I got was a tasty chocolate and chopped peanut dipped waffle cone as a Bonus! Lol. Yummmy!!🍦“

“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.“

“We love Brusters for sure. Always sweet people working there. Every flavor we have tried we have loved. We always take it to go as we did last evening. Got it home and of our 2 hot fudge Sundaes only 1 had fudge. What the....super bummed about that.“

“recommended to me — I wasn’t disappointed. There was a bit of a line when I arrived, but it moved quickly and the staff were helpful, even with all the hustle. The ordering process was super easy, and the space felt clean and welcoming.

The cookies themselves? Genuinely excellent. Big, warm, and packed with flavour — definitely lived up to the hype. I tried a couple of the weekly specials and would’ve gone back again if I’d had more time in Downey.

Nice stop if you’re travelling and want something sweet (or very American!). Great location too — easy to find and plenty of parking nearby, but we walked as hoteled in the local area“

“exelente lugar para llevar a los nińos“

“I love that it's never super crowded when I go in, a helper/cashier always comes to greet me within a few seconds, the vibe is always nice and chill. I love the large varieties of cookies there and they're large! Every cookie and small pie has been absolutely delish! I just had a small key lime pie this past weekend that SO good!“

“My father always comes here to get filtered water for our house. I came here with my mom and the owner was super nice and helpful. Her prices are reasonable and less than those water machines at the supermarket. Parking is simple and easy as well.“

“I’ve been wanting a PB Cup blizzard for a while. It was well worth the wait.“

“Very clean, friendly staff and delicious frozen yogurt 😊!“

“Needless to say, I think the ice cream here is pretty good“

“ooh ya...love the banana split...and on one day discount if you bring one!!“

“As always I loved their frozen yogurt, but I wish they have flavors without sugar added, still good!�“

“Crumbl Cookies is dessert happiness in a pink box.

The weekly rotating flavors keep things exciting, but even their classic chocolate chip is everything you want in a cookie—gooey center, crispy edges, and just the right amount of chocolate.

The shop is clean and bright, and the staff is always friendly and quick.

You can’t help but smile walking out with that iconic pink box.

Perfect for a sweet pick‑me‑up or sharing (if you’re generous enough to share!).“

“VERY HOME TOUCH SEEET AND DELICIAS CHAT. WE HAD PAN SEV PURI DABELI AND BHEL. FAMILY OWENED AND OPERATED CHAT HOUSE. VERY TESTY. DO TRY ONCE AND U WILL FAN FOR EVER. NAIK FMLY.“

“Do you enjoy real homemade ice cream I mean the Mexican paletas but also the scooped ice cream everything made in the house so many flavors to choose from.And they're nice enough to let you sample as many times as you like. Always great to take a quart home. Once you've tried it other places are mediocre we're talking homemade ice cream made in-house not months ago days ago at the least.“

“Krazy Cup is a must-visit place, offering a wide variety of delicious treats. From shakes and fruit cups to ice cream and candies, there’s something for everyone. The Reese’s peanut butter cup shake with banana is particularly popular, but even a small portion was quite satisfying. There is a lot going on inside they even have the original Pac-Man game.“
