“It was delicious. The vanilla Rosa 🌹 was great 👍🏽“

“El sabor es delicioso 100% recomendado“

“Super fun place! Be warned though it gets super busy at night, there was a line out the door when I went. The flavors are interesting and unique! Personal recommendation: if you're in the mood to try some classic flavors, go somewhere else! This is the place to try some super fun flavors that you won't find anywhere else. I tried their Strawberry Pretzel Salad (recommended by one of their servers) and was super hesitant, but it was actually so good! This is a great date night or night out with friends location!“

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

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

“Love this iconic spot! A must when visiting Balboa Island!“

“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.“

“Cowafornia Ice Cream is a must-visit in Newport Beach! The flavors are rich and creative, and the quality is top-tier. The shop is cute, clean, and has a fun beachy vibe. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Great spot for a sweet treat! We will definitely be back!“

“It was a beautiful day yesterday I decided to go to Balboa and I saw this ice cream shop and I needed something delicious and cold. They did not have pistachio ice cream. My favorite, but I ended up getting the vanilla mixed with some caramel almonds and walnuts. It was delicious if you are anywhere around Balboa if you want something cold and delicious I think you should stop here and the portions are very big. I wasn’t able to finish my ice cream cone, which was a single cone, so you get a lot back ?“

“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.“

“This place knows quality ice cream!!! They have rotating seasonal flavors and I know 100% fact that they make them all in house. They work hard to make the amount of flavors they have definitely.

I got some suggestions from the people working there. They also offered some samples, but I kinda knew what I wanted.

I have to say, some of the best customer service I've had. They are fast, efficient, and friendly!! I'll definitely be coming back to this location.“

“I love going here because I am lactose intolerant and they have nondairy ice cream. It’s absolutely delicious! Try it I bet you’ll love it!!!!!There’s usually only one flavor but it’s always so good! The flavor in the picture is Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough“

“So much fun and great products“

“Getting my greens and protein boosts. Good healthy options, friendly service & good vibes!“

“These are the best Balboa Bars on the island. They use premium chocolate that’s a mix of milk and dark chocolate, and they have premium ice cream. The result is that these are a lot better than the Balboa bars at Dad’s Original and the Original Frozen Banana Stand. We have tried those other places many times and they’re also very good. But if you’re ready to graduate, walk a few steps down to Too Sweet - you won’t regret it.“

“Donuts, cookies, ice cream oh my! We visit Balboa a few times a year and it is tradition that we get Balboa Bars and donuts every single time we’re here. They never disappoint! No matter the line, long or short… they move so quickly and efficiently. And yes… we favor Dad’s because of the service and they are THEE SUPERIOR BALBOA BAR!“

“My banana split was made to order by an experienced, professional server whose pride in workmanship, manifest in his smile, shown through his mask“
