The device merely asked for payment which made me so very happy. Quality/Quantity: They had a bunch of clothes, jewelry, and various ice cream options. The ice cream sandwiches were a high quality with organic ingredients which again made me so happy. These babies were huge and packed with delicious ice cream inside of a delicious cookie. Value: Not bad at all. Overall: I really enjoyed the spot. Great ambiance, plenty of parking, a few tables to sit at, and good service. Pro Tip: Easy to miss as it looks like a pop up store so you wouldn't even know they sold ice cream if no one told you.

There are also some benches near by as the tables can be busy during peak times. Inside was very clean and staff were following COVID protocols. The lady who helped us was friendly and efficient in taking orders and getting the scoops prepared. I will definitely be coming back! Highly recommend for a great dessert place and also love that I can get a coffee too!

Such a sweet spot to get delicious ice cream and walk around Dana Point Harbor! This cute little…read moreshop is right on the walkway between the parking lot and the walking path where you'd take to stroll and look at the boats. They have a HUGE selection of ice cream - I got the single scoop and you're able to get two flavors so I picked cookies and cream + kahlua truffle (which is like coffee ice cream with brownies- amaaaazing). My husband got the waffle cone and the ice cream serving seems a lot bigger in it. They also have desserts like cookies and brownies to choose from. Workers are kind and helpful. They usually have a long line, but it goes quickly!

I'm typically suspicious of French cafes, they never really hit the spot, and not because I try them with the expectation of getting a true French style product, but I'm just very often disappointed by the general quality. I'm so glad I gave this a go. We tried both savory and sweet pastries, and they were all absolutely delicious. To the point that I ordered a few more to go. The croissant with cream and berry was gorgeous, not overly sweet, which is sadly so rare, and the feta cheese and mushroom pastry was amazing. The person behind the counter was also super sweet and helpful. If I were a local, this would be my almost daily spot.

I tried watermelon and the Mermaid flavor (tastes like cotton candy and something that tastes like the color pink). My husband got the recommended 5 layer with cotton candy and cherry. It was all so good especially with the custard. The custard itself is like a soft serve on steroids. I don't like things that are too sweet but this was all just right. You can get the ice by itself or together with the custard. I would recommend trying the ice flavors you would want then getting it with custard, it really elevates the ice. The person helping us was so friendly! Not a lot of shade or tables to enjoy this but luckily this was during the evening on a cool night. I imagine it wouldn't be easy to enjoy this on a hot day. Otherwise, would come back to this location!

We tried this place for a custom cake about 6 years ago. While the look was amazing, I didn't think…read morethe flavor was great. This time for my birthday, I thought we'd try a standard flavor cake since they should be making it on the regular. We got the lemon delight. It was super sweet. I couldn't eat any of the frosting and the frosting filling next to the lemon was very sweet. They also messed up my name. I remember my husband spelling out my name like the military nato style too but what was written on the order form was wrong. And then on the cake was wrong and didn't even match the order form. I know my name is difficult but I guess the decorator wasn't there so it was a difficult fix. They apologized and gave us candles. On a side note and not affecting this rating: We ate at the cafe side once and it was good. But we sat outside and had a bad experience unrelated to the cafe. Someone with their huge hairy dog was just outside the cafe and rubbing their long hair dog getting it into the air and the wind was blowing it all over our food and drinks and also in the nearby tables. Definitely killed the appetite. This is not affecting the rating. Rating is based solely on the cakes.

Parking is not easily available. If you're lucky, you can park on the street right next to the shop. If you can't find parking there, you'll have to look further out. THE VERDICT.

I came here on a weekday just after opening. The fellow working here was really nice and was…read morehelpful in explaining various offerings and giving recommendations. They have cookies with fillings! And also some shakes and "dirty drinks" (flavored sodas). They have classic cookie options on the menu all the time and several cookie types that rotate weekly. I purchased two cookies and a drink. They have a couple tables inside but I decided to take the cookies home and enjoy the drink on the road. The two cookies I chose were the chocolate chip and the cookies & cream plus the Coco-Loco as my drink. The Coco-Loco is best described as a coconut Coke. It was fantastic, way better than I expected. I appreciated the finely ground ice in the bottom portion of the cup. My pet peeve is when places fill the cup to the top with ice and your drink is gone in three sips but here they provide just enough to keep it cold and refreshing. The cookies are presented in their own box and are large. They are soft cookies but ever-so-slightly crisp on the outside with soft fillings. The chocolate chip cookie had a filling that was essentially chocolate chip cookie dough. It was incredibly delicious and I would definitely get this one again. The cookies & cream had what tasted like Oreo frosting inside and was very good. It was a bit messier as it has crumbles on top and also the weight of the filling caused the soft cookie to fall apart, which one must be conscious of when eating these cookies. It's actually easier to eat when it's in a few pieces. Being a cookie-lover, I find what they have here to be better than what you get at other well-known cookie stores.
