“I don't know why this place has such bad reviews. They're doing a too good to go promotion where you get 2 surprise drinks for a decent price. They come out really quick too. Great service. It's in an apartment complex which is an odd area, but their toppings taste fresh.“

“I was lucky enough to get a free sample of a chocolate chip cookie at crumbl and it was delicious! The young man who helped me out at the register was very accommodating and friendly! Here to try other flavors and I'm going to ask if they have vegan versions of cookies as well!“

“Super deliciosos, especialmente los de cajeta.“

“Its yummy!😋 and very good it has good offers and points rewards are good too.“

“cute, delicious, fantastic customer service“

“One particularly hot night my mom and I searched, “Best Gelato near me” and the top result was Mangiamo! After eating the gelato 3 times in a row, we can definitely say that title is well earned! The Double Chocolate flavor is for sure the best chocolate flavored Gelato in the whole state of California; not to mention it’s totally authentic too! The server is also incredibly kind and pleasant to talk to. Overall, this place is such a phenomenal experience and we would highly recommend it for vacationers and gelato connoisseurs alike!“

“Awesome place tucked away in a. Small shopping center but worth the stop! So many characters available to choose from and then sculpt them beautifully out of cotton candy right in front of you! This is a fun treat and makes for great pictures, bonus-the cotton candy actually tastes good! The line can get long but it’s totally worth the wait to watch these artists create!!“

“Oh Em Gee!!!! This is thee cutest little place, the ordering system is super efficient, there were a ton of customers placing orders with no wait. The GIANORMOUS, warm cookies come out quickly and the boxes are so freaking cute. Definitely worth a stop, be sure to bring your sweet tooth ??“

“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.“

“Ricas nieve y ricas galletas“

“Delicious flavors! I love them 😍 will have to visit more often“

“I often crave crepe cakes and cheesecakes, and this is the place with an impressively wide selection.
It’s a little tucked away in the South Coast Plaza, but definitely worth finding - they sell truly premium cakes here.
On average, each slice costs about $10.“

“Soooo delicious!! Ordered to-go & took us a little over 20mins to get home & surprisingly my Shaved Iced dessert was still frozen! Very satisfied with how everything tasted. I ordered the Green Tea Snow with Oreos, Strawberries & Popping Boba combination. I loved it. I also ordered the Pistachio & Matcha Green Tea Macarons & the Milk Tea. The Pistachio Macarons & Milk Tea was delicious. Definitely recommend. (Didn’t get to try Jesse’s Breakfast)“

“SomiSomi in Irvine is an absolute five-star spot for dessert lovers! The soft serve is incredibly smooth, creamy, and full of flavor — especially when paired with their freshly made taiyaki cones that come out warm and perfectly crisp. The mix of hot and cold makes every bite amazing.

The store is clean, modern, and well-run, with a fun and inviting vibe. The staff are friendly and patient, even when it’s busy, and the presentation of everything is always picture-perfect. They offer plenty of unique flavors and toppings, so there’s always something new to try.

Whether you’re a local or just visiting Irvine, this place is a must-visit for a sweet treat that never disappoints. Five stars all the way!“

“Love this place. The exclusives are too cute to eat!“

“This was such a cute place for desserts and I’ve never had anything like this. Usually places like this they put fruit in it and there’s never other options that I like. But this one was calling my name, Milk tea bowl with Oreo. It was so yummy and refreshing and would definitely get it again. Even came in a cute bucket which I reuse!“

“I happened to stop by and ordered a Thai tea. It was very delicious and the friendly explanation made it even more delicious.

The store is small but it feels pretty and comfortable. Coffee & Beverage Specialty Stores I Want to Visit Again People around me say that the bread is also very delicious.“

“I ordered some cookies for my daughter's bridal shower. Jess was wonderful to work with. The cookies were perfect. Great buttery sandy goodness and the buttercream icing made me want to scream. Let's not forget the exquisite packaging. All in all, a great experience.“

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

“This donut shop has great food, healthy food as well as comfort food. I had the egg, turkey & cheese croissant, the turkey sandwich and their energy boost juice. And I’m about to try their multivitamin juice which I’m sure it will be delicious and healthy as well.
The owner is super friendly, giving all customers an excellent service!“

“Yummy and fun! I am ok with just one of the stuffed fish- the ice cream and fish were a lot! But good quality, fun to watch them make it, and yummy“

“If you LOVE LOVE LOVE mangoes, then you must try this dessert restaurant.

Only SoCal location. I believe one of four in California/ America.

They're located inside a nice plaza with plenty of free self parking.

The restaurant is clean with near decoration. I love the white birds on the ceiling. When you enter, there's a large menu over the cashier. There's also some fake model dessert case on the left side displaying some of their popular products. It gives you an idea of what it like like before buying.

I got the pamelo and mango with sago.

Everything is made to order. Therefore it takes a few minutes to prepare fresh.
It was so yummy and refreshing. Doesn't feel sinful since it actually has real fruit lol

I enjoyed every bite! Yum yum

The prices are ok. Portions are just right.

The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and inviting.

Will be returning 100%“

“It’s lemon I swear“

“I've ordered sandwiches from here many times before, and this was my first time visiting the cafe in person. It's a cozy spot with limited seating inside and a few tables outdoors.
​The sandwiches and cookies here are consistently delicious. The coffee also has a great level of quality that you won't regret.
​What truly sets this place apart, however, is the hospitality of the owners—it's absolutely outstanding. I highly recommend stopping by to grab a sandwich; it's a treat for both your stomach and your soul.“

“This place has some of the best shakes around. I always get the strawberry/chocolate shake and it is awesome!The gelato pops are great too. They have a ton of flavors that can be personalized with additional toppings.The employees are super nice too.Definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for gelato, creamy shakes with real fruit, or a cool cheesecake pop, try this place for sure.“

“Went about 3 days ago. Very friendly and kind Asian girl Donuts were amazing, not greasy like other places. And that had too much of a variety that I wanted to buy everything i saw 😆. But what really caught my eye was the little sign that they have Vietnamese coffee. It was so good flavor portion. Highly recommend this place“

“First time today we visited Yong's Donuts....Place was clean, the service was pleasant and quick...The Donuts, also Coffee were good....This shop had a nostalgic feeling of the 60's or 70's....

Not too cluttered, with ample seating available....“

“We make a stop for a churro every time we are in town. They’re the best.“

“S0000 GOOD!!!! Super refreshing on a hot day in OC. I got the che Ngũ Sắc & Chè Bưởi“

“Great macarons that I didn't feel were priced outrageously (they're never cheap anywhere). They all came individually packaged. We got an assortment of them to try, and they were all great. The standout for me was the smores (?) one, that was covered in shaved chocolate. It was fantastic. The oreo cheesecake was a close runner up, for me. Overall, highly recommended. It was a great little treat for us on our way home from Disneyland.“

“Very reasonable price and delicious“

“Awesome service! Great desserts. Shout out to the guy taking orders. Very patient and kind. Gave my son milk to wash down his desserts. Yum yum“

“Good place to hang out with friends and family“

“Michell saved the day!! We had a group of eight for dinner and our original server took our orders and never came back from break. Michell took over and was helpful, funny, and courteous. All of the food was good but some of us ordered the Thanksgiving Pasties and they were DELICIOUS. Highly recommend Ghost Town Grill over any of the faster places at Knotts. Ony request for Knotts- bring back the Boysenberry Gin & Tonics! They were FABULOUS and we were so disappointed you took them off the menu!“

“A hidden gem with a trendy taste that’s hard to find elsewhere. I ordered Matcha Latte with macadamia milk and it was SO GOOD, just the right amount of sweetness! 🥰 I was also impressed with the quick and great customer service! (Torrance Area) Definitely coming back. 🍵☺️“

“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“

“fresh made churros gilled with chocolate or others fillings and served with soft icecxream.“

“It’s a croissant. It’s a waffle. It’s a Croffle!

Craving these super addictive Croffles? Try these waffle croissant desserts from @crofflehousela ?? They come sweet or savory. We tried their Fruity Pebbles and Oreo - customer favorites! The perfect snack!

I was looking forward to it having a stick with the Croffles, like the pictures and videos I’d seen but we got it without it. They are topped with Thrifty ice cream so you have to be quick to eat because it starts melting. When people take it to go, the croffles are packed separately to put together at home. The croffle can be put in an air fryer or toaster oven to warm up and get the crispiness.

They are only open on Sundays 12-5pm inside of Luv 4 Nutrition, which is why it took me so long to try this place. From seeing the videos, I was looking forward to trying it! I love the vibrant orange wall, which brightens up the room. There are plenty of tables and chairs.

I was disappointed to not be able to try more flavors, which weren’t available. I spoke with Cece about some new things she has in the works and I think it’s going to be great to draw more people in. I think Croffle House has a lot of potential and I look forward to seeing the next level that Cece takes it to!“

“Love the Thai iced tea with crystal boba recommend�“

“Grab your hot, fresh churro as you make your way through the park and/or wait In ride lines. So tasty! We had a plain churro and our granddaughter tried the fluffernutter with peanut butter & marshmallow sauces, topped with chocolate chips.“

“I wanted to eat red bean shaved ice, so I went there, but my child also wanted to eat bungeoppang, so I packed bungeoppang and red bean shaved ice. While waiting for the red bean shaved ice, my child and husband each ate a piece of bungeoppang, and it was so delicious that we will buy it again tomorrow. I pack it up and write a review right away on my way back home. The owner and his wife were very friendly, and as we sat down to eat for a while, the owner even gave us some juice for the kids to drink~~
If you haven't tried it, please try it. Highly recommended!!!!

and!!! I came home and ate red bean shaved ice. They even included an ice pack while packaging it!! It didn't melt at all, and they put a double layer of red beans on it!! Rice cake is also included!!
It's so delicious!!!!“

“Team members are chill and the tea slaps. What more can you ask for?“
