Peyton helped me and she was very kind and we had a great conversation. I would definitely come back here and I highly recommend.“

“Ordering online Salt & Straw in Newport Beach is amazing! The Sea Salt with Caramel Ribbons is the ultimate sweet and savory treat. The rich, salty cream base paired with thick, gooey caramel ribbons in a warm waffle cone is pure perfection. Highly recommend stopping by!“

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

“I love this place funnel cakes are very good and the place is very nice and the workers are friendly and that is all I have to say“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Absolutely delicious and the perfect Fun Zone stop!

Just had the mint chocolate chip and it was fantastic—super creamy with great flavor and nice chocolate chunks throughout. The shop itself is a really cool, vibrant spot right in the heart of Balboa Fun Zone. Friendly service, fresh treats, and exactly what you want after walking around the pier, riding the Ferris wheel, or hitting the arcade.

Cowafornia is now my go-to ice cream spot in Newport Beach. Highly recommend!“

“The best Cold Stone location that I have been to! The staff is so patient and willing to accommodate to my gluten-free allergy. The girl, Martha, went above and beyond by making my ice cream in the back to prevent contaminants. 10/10 would go back again!“

“Waaaaaay BETTER than Sugar and Spice! Too Sweet / Tutti Fruity uses real chocolate as opposed to Sugar and spices non dairy milk chocolate? We drove 40 minutes and made the mistake of getting our frozen bananas at sugar n spice but were disappointed in their milk chocolate. Super thin and no chocolate taste.

Stopped in at Tutti Fruity / Too Sweet to see what their chocolate covered frozen bananas were and HANDS DOWN! AMAZING! Thicker chocolate and the chocolate actually tastes like delicious chocolate!

Next time… Too Sweet for frozen bananas for us!!“

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

“Must stop if in the area!! Definitely get the hippo cookies. Best cookies I have ever eaten. The frozen banana was very good as well. Also the Balboa Bar is very good too. Both frozen treats come with lots of options to customize to your preferred taste. It’s more of a grab and go place for snacks, so no seating. Employees were very kind, helpful, and fast. Will definitely come again if we are in the area.“

“So much fun and great products“

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

“1. The matcha was delicious and well-crafted! The carrot cake was more moist than I thought!
2. The spot has chill casual vibes! The area is nicely kept!
3. The staff was friendly and timely with my order! It was ready after 5 mins!
Note: I did not easily see a restroom for non-hotel guests!

“We loved Newport Coffee Co.! My 14-year-old daughter and I ended up going every day - it quickly became our favorite spot.

Great coffee for me and amazing açaí bowls for her. The staff is super friendly, the vibe is fun and welcoming (and pet-friendly), and prices are very reasonable.

If you’re in Newport Beach, definitely check it out, we’ll be back for sure!“
