50 Best Ice Cream Shops near Placentia

“This establishment is fantastic. The owner and his son are such friendly people; they are helpful when deciding food and patience. I have been coming here since I was 7 years old. The burgers and fries are delicious with a reasonable price. The milkshakes are on par with ShakeShack from Crystal Cove. If you are in thr area, I would highly recommend coming here!“

“Great ice cream! Huge variety of flavors.“

“I recently visited this ice cream shop and was met with friendly and proper behavior from the staff. However, the selection of ice creams was somewhat limited, and we ultimately opted for a machine cone ice cream. While the service was great, the variety of flavors could use some improvement.“

“This is the best ice cream place in the area. It's clean, never too crowded. Everything I've tried so far tastes wonderful, and the service is quick and great. This place offers samples, so be sure to come back often to try all these creative and unique flavours!“

“Decided to stop by, last-minute, for a cappuccino blast. Initially my drink was poorly blended as it was full of ice chunks, but not a huge problem. I simply asked if they could re-blend it for me. Not only were they happy to do so, they apologized for the error. I don't know about you, but that usually doesn't happen too often nowadays (especially with "young employees"). I would definitely come back to this location if I was in the area.“

“Friendly staff. Summer time on a Friday afternoon is quiet. He said they get busy after school since there is a high school nearby. Drinks all good. I got my regular jasmine milk tea with boba and Crystal boba half sweet. Good size and great drink. Lots of parking. It’s not a big place. Just a few seats. Would come back. Put your number in for rewards. Buy 9 get 1 free.Pricing is awesome. 4 big drinks for $25. And 2 of us got 2 toppings!!“

“I love it so good im from moreno valley l just came for ice cream yummy..0“

“What a gem. I can easily say this place has the best fruit ice cream I've ever had. The man behind the counter was very informative and patient as my friend and I were sampling many of the flavors. I ended up leaving with container of lychee and coconut. The ice cream tastes so fresh and delicious. The decor of the place is really cool and the service was wonderful.“

“Absolutely the best freshly made ice cream I’ve tasted!! I would rate their ice cream 11/10 An overload of pleasure for your taste buds!!“

“Amazing Ice Cream! Freshest by far!“

“Old lady that works there is so sweet. Ice cream was really good too. I got a single scoop of cookie dough but got the smallest scoop ever ? Another person in my party got gummy bears with their order and got very few. Felt like we got considerably less than what other people got in the reviews :(“

“The Baseline: The Ice Cream Baseline consists of having quality dairy product, variety of flavors/mix-ins, and serving quantity for the price. Ghirardelli hits 2 out of 3.

Food: The ice cream base (dairy and non-dairy) is of very high quality where the milk/cream ratio is make the ice cream smooth and silky. The flavor selection is not broad but the assembly with mix ins is high quality and good, probably the best hot fudge I can get. The serving sizes are large enough but this has the added expense of theme park pricing.

Service: Service is easy as you order from the register and pickup from the window. Everyone is friendly and smiling as to be expected at a Disney Theme Park.

Ambiance: This is a walk up ice cream stand with dedicated seating outside that is in some competition with other restaurant patrons with adjacent establishments. This is in Disney California Adventure so the San Fransokyo theme for Big Hero Six rocks. Top marks for ambience.

I rated this a 4 because of price but it is in a theme park and money bleeds from you there anyway.“

“Love the different flavor combinations and friendly staff!!“

“Love this place!!! So unique and one of a kind! The gelato is so fresh and they make creative designs for kids!“

“Salt & Straw's version of "Veganuary" is their "Dairy-Free Decadence Series"--five vegan flavors available during January. I chose Chocolate Caramel Corn with Candied Peanuts, which I didn't really like, but my partner did. However, I've enjoyed several other flavors in the past. Warning: The waffle cones are not vegan, but the sugar cones are.“

“Love the coconut coffee and the mini sandwiches!“

“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.“

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

“The ice cream is great the open glass display is cool to see it made especially if you got kids intrigued by the process. There's a lot of options and add ons . They have smooties , coffee, and teas as we'll and each one is worth it .“

“Always good treats on warm days. You can never go wrong.“

“This is my absolute favorite ice cream spot. This ice cream is so creamy, and rich. It always hits the spot, and it’s absolutely delicious. I’ve never found another ice cream place as good as this. The workers, I’ve known them for a few years, and they absolutely love my friends and I, and we absolutely love them. They always have a smile on their face, and they are always so positive and hard working. I have taken so many of my friends, and family members here, and they absolutely love it. My friend was literally smacking on the ice cream, and saying “ mmm, and wow”, a lot to it because of how refreshing and delicious it is. I recommend the Michael, Oreo, Vanilla, Strawberry, etc, all good :)!“

“On a Roll Ice Cream on Brookhurst is a must-visit spot for ice cream lovers! The experience of watching the ice cream being made right in front of you is fun and unique. They roll the ice cream on a cold plate with your choice of mix-ins, creating beautifully crafted, delicious rolls. The texture is creamy and smooth, and the flavors are bold and rich. Whether you’re into fruity or chocolatey flavors, there’s something for everyone. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the portion sizes are generous. The presentation is Instagram-worthy, and the taste lives up to the hype. It’s the perfect place for a sweet treat on an evening or late night.“

“I don’t know what it is, but I absolutely love their cheddar filled fish“

“The Tropical Hideaway serves up some delicious dole whip tropical Hideaway is a must stop on every Disneyland trip I get the dole whip float its pineapple dole whip in pineapple juice my wife gets the Mexican version Chile mango whip swirl it has Chamoy mango and Chile lime seasoning this place gets busy on a hot day but they are quick service is always good definitely a must try“

“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!“

“10/10 - I recommend The matcha float. It was really good and the matcha flavor was strong!😌“

“Such an awesome addition to our daughters birthday party! Not only did she absolutely love it, but our guests thought it was soooo cute and nostalgic! Everyone wanted all the details about OC Ice Cream! We will definitely be booking this again for our next event!! ?“

“Been waiting for this place to finally open! Ice cream was delicious. I tried chocolate chip and rocky road in a waffle cone. There are many different options to choose from. Will definitely return to try more. My cone picture was after I had started snacking. All cones come with a melting catcher! I only wish there was an area to sit and enjoy my snack out front.“

“Very yummy cookies! I came to grab the Olivia Rodrigo cookie, and now I want more cookies. I like how service is fast, and you can watch them make the cookies in front of you! They don’t accept cash here, by the way. They only seem to have kiosks.“

“They have a huge menu up to like 60 items! They have all kinds of ice creams, natural juices, and so much more! Great place for a snack and dessert. and I love how it reminds me of Mexico! You won't regret coming! I highly recommend this location!“

“AMAZING service! Normally i don't write reviews but the man running the shop was extremely sweet and kind, not to mention amazing drinks and food! The pizza tasted great and had the best cheese pull i think I've ever had. Definitely coming back to cali just to visit!“

“came here and tried their minis. they were a little costly, but a nice occasional treat. i got the semi-sweet chocolate chunk, cookie dough, and blueberry muffin, which all looked like the picture. i think the warm cookies were the best, and the more recently they come out of the oven the better. service was great and friendly, store was clean.“

“I come here pretty often with my family even though it is like 2 hours away from home. We always visit since their flavors are delicious and always change each time we come. They have both dairy and non-dairy ice cream flavors. We also try to come here whenever we can when they have collaborations to taste their special collab flavors. I love seeing all the new flavors they come up with! I really recommend this place, it is one of my favorite places to go to!“

“Love Golden Spoon! Best tasting yogurt, hands down! Recommend peanut butter, my fav. Not as many flavors as they used to have, and the peanut butter wasn't working. My gripe is I had the coconut, and it melted before I got it home. Not sure if that's the usual now, I remember the olden days where it would stay frozen.“

“Love the coconut flavor!“

“We rented an ice cream cart for a wedding, and it was a hit. The setup was easy, and it came filled with amazing treats. Everyone loved it, and it made the day extra special.“

“Went and bought 4th of July Mickey and Minnie cookies the cookies were cute and delicious..!owners were really nice so friendly .. I recommend this place“

“For those with a diary/gluten allergy. They have a plant based ice cream, whip cream, and good chocolate. My wife was in heaven to enjoy such a treat. The staff were excellent and answered all her questions. I ordered an orange cream drink and it was pretty tasty! Overall a nice place to the right when you walk towards the round about in California adventure.“

“Just not ice cream. They actually have a lot of snacks from japan. Don't let the metal fencing out front discourage you. Keep in mind you are going to a warehouse so there are no thrills or frills. They allow you to buy in bulk so if you are having a party this is the spot.“

“Frozen yogurt is never a bad call. Especially with tasty and fun flavors and toppings! The only complaint is to monitor the levers of the yogurt as some of them don't work too well. Other than that, I have never had a problem with Joghurt. Pura Vida!“

“I was very happy with the flavor and consistency of the Madagascar vanilla flavor here. Service was okay and my main gripe was that most of the flavors are too rich with toppings such as cookies and other very unhealthy sweets. The vanilla was really the only flavor that I could get that wasn't going to be hard on my stomach. Nonetheless, I could tell that the ice cream is very well crafted so I recommend coming here.“

“What a great find. The restaurant and the coffee! I try to stop in whenever I'm in the area for a delicious cup of coffee. Great job, fellas!“

“Popbar is a GREAT place, even for someone like me who doesn’t usually love popsicles—I absolutely loved it! I got a coconut gelato, half dipped in white chocolate and half in milk chocolate, topped with coconut and hazelnut. It was perfect! My husband had a chocolate gelato dipped in dark chocolate with sprinkles, and he really enjoyed it too. Everyone needs to try this place!“

“Delighted by my midday visit to Urban Punjab in garden grove for a lunch at 3 PM—serendipity in its timing as they were open and welcoming. Tucked away in a modest shopping center that also boasts a superb shawarma joint, this place is a hidden treasure. The tandoori chicken and dal makhani I savored transported my taste buds straight to the streets of Delhi with their authentic, extraordinary flavors. The lacha paratha? Simply genius. Service was extraordinary, matched by the unique touch of serving drinks in metal, regal glasses that elevate the dining experience to one of noble indulgence. Having the pleasure of meeting both owners, their dedication was evident in every aspect. I'm looking forward to a return visit with loved ones in tow, ready to embark on a culinary expedition through their entire menu. Heartfelt thanks to Urban Punjab for a five-star experience.“

“The cookies are always great. The employees sometimes stand around and ignore customers that need help using the touchscreen order pad. I have witnessed older people walk in, not know how to use the touch screen device, and employees just watch them struggle. Other than that everything is great.“

“I never miss a week of cookie crumbles they are the best cookies I have ever had each week they get better and better the customer service is the best they are so welcoming. The store is so clean and spotless really recommend you guys coming to this store.“

“The churro frosting didn’t look very appealing but it tasted fine

Vegetarian options: Don’t eat cookies if your vegetarian

Dietary restrictions: If you are lactose intolerant don’t eat some of the cookie s

Parking: A lot of spots on a free day

Kid-friendliness: It’s very quick and nothing inappropriate“

“If your looking for a juice bar better than any other juice bar,this is it.The absolute sweetest,smart,and family minded with the only intention of making you feel better than when you arrived,location.
Not to mention for those whom are God grounded,at Brothers juice,it's called brothers because they will be your fam.
And if any body disrespects it,Haymaker will find you lol.Garden Grove for life
GO ANGELS“

“Well my wife likes to try this ice cream place. So we went there with our daughters. Location: it is in the corner of a gas station and a car wash. I thought I was lost! Yep it is in a corner. Hard to find parking because the car wash takes all the parking. My daughters love it: passion fruit ice cream. It is a hidden gem, my wife said!

Parking: Free parking but you have to park far and have a walk. Not a convenience parking.“

“Never had a bad experience here - friendly service from the lady behind the counter today, she quickly helped 2 people ahead of me, always a lot of flavors to pick from. Can't go wrong with Golden Spoon, especially when 7 months pregnant ?“
