“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.“

“Super deliciosos, especialmente los de cajeta.“

“These macarons are so good! Its so hard to find a place with actually good macarons that aren't dry or overbearing in sweetness. And these are definetly delicious!
And at 2.75 each? So coming back here the next time I get a pastry craving!“

“i love crumbl so much i go all da time🍪“

“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!“

“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!“

“cute, delicious, fantastic customer service“

“Julie, you are an absolute gem at Crumbl!
Every time I come in, your smile and energy make my whole day better. You always know exactly what to recommend and make the experience so fun. Thank you for being such a bright spot in every visit — keep doing what you’re doing, you’re killing it!“

“Best cotton candy characters!!! If you have a kiddo or love cotton candy, you have to visit this place at least once. It never disappoints. The staff is friendly, quality is superb, temperature controlled environment. It can get busy when it opens so get there early or be prepared to wait 30-60 minutes. Pro Tip: Go later in the afternoon 4ish and there is usually little to no wait times.“

“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.“

“Super clean, smells amazing, interior designed perfectly, everything is fresh and delicious, very sweet and respectful staff and Palestinian owned which is another reason to visit here again and again. Highly recommend everyone to visit this beautiful cafe and support their business!!!“

“This is one of my favorite boba/sweet treat/dessert spots in OC. My favorite is the tropical mango dessert bowl, I’ve truly never had anything like it. The sago will totalllllllly satisfy your sweet treat craving. The drinks are really good as well and the staff are always so friendly and kind. My only tip for them is to serve the dessert bowls chilled!“

“I recently became obsessed with Bingsu and I am so glad there is a location close to where I work.
I got the strawberry matcha Bingsu and it’s heavenly.
I came after work on a weekday and there was no line.
Parking was easy and there were plenty of tables to sit.“

“Ricas nieve y ricas galletas“

“I don’t write reviews often, but Let Eat Yogurt absolutely deserves one.

I usually order their customizable blueberry yogurt bowl loaded with fresh fruit, and every single time I’m amazed by how generous they are with the toppings. The fruit is always fresh, the portions are huge, and the yogurt itself is honestly some of the best I’ve ever had. It’s creamy, flavorful, and somehow feels indulgent while still being healthy.

What made me appreciate this place even more was talking with the owners. They shared that before opening the shop, they actually slept in the building to perfect their yogurt recipes. After hearing that story, it made perfect sense why everything tastes so thoughtfully crafted. You can tell this isn’t just another dessert shop, it’s something they genuinely poured their hearts into.

The owners are incredibly kind and welcoming, and their passion shows in every bowl they serve. If you’re looking for a dessert that tastes amazing without leaving you feeling heavy afterward, this is the place.
Highly recommend Let Eat Yogurt!“

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

“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)“

“Takayuki Dessert offers a refreshing and modern dessert experience that pairs perfectly with a meal next door at BCD Tofu House. The shop focuses on clean flavors, soft textures, and visually appealing presentations that feel both comforting and elevated. The desserts strike a balance between sweetness and lightness, making them enjoyable without feeling heavy. Service is friendly and efficient, and the environment stays calm even during peak dessert hours. The menu offers enough variety to satisfy both classic and adventurous dessert preferences.

The space is clean, bright, and easy to relax in, making it a pleasant stop for a quick treat or a slow, casual dessert break. Parking becomes easier later in the evening, which aligns well with dessert timing. The ingredients taste fresh, and the portion sizes feel fair for the price. The shop’s atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the desserts consistently deliver on flavor and presentation. Takayuki stands out as a reliable, high‑quality dessert spot that enhances the dining experience in the plaza and leaves a memorable final impression.“

“Love love love everything here, the matcha strawberry dessert really what got my attention yet everything we got was yum!! Durian cake in a jar- I ended up buying 2 more to bring home. I love durian and first cake find! The ladies working were wonderful too. I will be coming back. 💕“

“Very delicious….today when I went there was a beautiful girl work there she’s very sweet and nice she’s the best one with the customer service I think her name is (Rawan) thank u rawan u made my day today I’m sure I’ll go there again soon 😋☺“

“The ice cream is delicious and the price isn’t bad.“

“Makes beautiful smoothies that put all other smoothies to shame. A very nice owner, being a small business and she still gets everyone’s order on time. She even had time to give me her used coffee grounds, even when she didn’t normally save them. Very welcoming establishment that I will definitely be coming back to.“

“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“

“Just wanted to grab a quick lunch from this area and was honestly very satisfied! Upon entering, the atmosphere was pretty quiet, calm and I was atteneded quickly! Ordered the tuna sandwich and a hazelnut ice coffee. Tuna sandwich took a little bit to make but 100% worth the wait! Sandwich was big, filled, and super delicious! Ice coffee was a little too sweet but still very good! Just diluted it with water and was still very yummy. Loved this place and hope to come back again !“

“It’s lemon I swear“

“A true hidden gem! So glad I stumbled upon this little treasure.

I was at a nearby park and was looking for a coffee shop, and what a treat this place was!

I got their Aerocano, which is similar to an Americano but way creamier and smoother. I finished it in just a couple of sips!

Their macarons were some of the best I’ve had in a while, and they were absolutely adorable.

I got the Yogurt Frappuccino for the kids as a non-coffee option, and they completely devoured it.

The service was amazing. The owners definitely know what they’re doing. They make their own syrups, and they even make their own caramel syrup — something I’ve never heard of at a coffee shop before (and I’m a huge caramel lover!). So of course, I had to try their Caramel Latte as my second coffee of the day.

They were incredibly kind, sweet, and welcoming.

There’s plenty of parking, and they have a cozy little seating area where you can enjoy your coffee, plus a small bar area as well.

I’ll definitely be coming back to try their sandwiches and more of their coffee creations!

Highly recommend!“

“I swear God this is the best place to get a Smoothie with Boba omG 🥹🥹🥹 sooo good!!!! 🧋😋 The guys who serve are so kind ❤️ I will return as long as possible 🤩“

“The best ending to a foodie adventure night out for my birthday! After ordering, I went to watch the basket prep fresh donuts. He asked me if I'd like one, and OMG best donut ice ever had to be honest... probably helps that it was actual my all time favorite donut, lol. Coffee was on point, croissants could be fresher, and donuts were good all around!“

“Literally drive down to Irvine just for Hui Lau Shan🤤🤤 the perfect dessert on a hot day, the mango flavor is always so fresh and not artificial, it also pairs perfectly w/ their coconut! The rice balls are the perfect, chewy texture, I could eat this everyday!🥭🥭🥹“

“I came by with a friend one day. Really cute place. The staff and people were very friendly.. I tried the cold brew dessert. It was very delicious. It was my first time having plant base coconut dessert and I’ll tell you right now, it is now my new favorite dessert“

“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“

“OMG this cake is so good even after waiting over 45 min in line at silverbullet.

What was left after my 9 year old and Wife saved was amazing. The ice cream was smooth and delicious, but he funnel cake itself was still crispy and delicious. The boysenberry on top was so freaking good.

This is a must try when to get the Knott’s.“

“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.“

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

“Um……it was too good for a pic. Creme brulee which she warned me would cold for at least 15-20 mins and she was right. So good. Real vanilla bean. Pistachio macaroons my husband devoured before i got a bite…..but “too sweet”…….mmmmmkay dear. Great job.“

“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“

“Very reasonable price and delicious“

“Churros, drinks and dippings are really delicious. The churros are huge but we have no problem polishing them off family style. Just as good as Mexico city.

This location is also tucked inside of an awesome Mexican market that fills the stomach and soul.“

“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. 🍵☺️“

“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!“

“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!!!!“
