“Amazing! The s'more and the parent trap are the winners! Hands down. We could have shared, so much bar left over, because it is so sweet and way to much sugar. Street parking can be challenging. And the line can be long, but it is worth it, and moves quickly, unless you have indecisive kids, like me. Bring water or buy water, as the bars make one really thirsty.“

Frozen Yogurt

“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!“

“Great ice cream shop steps from the pier. They serve Tillamook ice cream. Multiple varieties to accommodate everyone. Best value is the triple, which is easy to share among four people feel like each other! Wait times can be a little tedious as I only have one server who has to do it all. Just be patient and totally worth it!“

“This location isn't too small or big it was just the right size, enough to place an order and go. It seems they change their flavors weekly? I'm not too sure, but now that I finally got around to posting my review a week or so later, the menu has changed.
The person who took my order was ok. He didn't really make an effort to recommend certain cookies or anything.
I ordered 1/2 dozen cookies so that we can sample all the flavors and one large banana upside down cake.

1. Milk chocolate chip - I think it was the best. You can't mess with a classic.

2. Pink velvet cake cookie - I'm not too sure what they were going for here. Is it supposed to be similar to a red velvet cake only pink? Didn't really taste like anything.

3. Kentucky butter cake - Everyone seems to rave about this, but after trying it, I'm not sure what all the hype was about.

4. Confetti milkshake - Tasted like a sugar cookie with confetti sprinkles

5. Sticky bun - This was definitely sticky, but I liked what they tried to do here.

6. Large banana upside down cake - This tasted like a banana bread, fluffy, and moist. I liked the whip cream or whatever it was with the caramel drizzle.

Overall, it was alright. Something good to try again and try the new flavors they have. I like that they are trying to be creative and innovative with the flavors. Maybe I'm just old school and prefer Mrs. Fields.“
