We ordered the…read morechurros with ice cream and chose vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup, and it was so fun to pile the vanilla ice cream on the end of the churro and enjoy! The cold ice cream was a great contrast to the warm, crispy churro! You get five churros with a generous portion of ice cream for a little over $10, so this was a good deal too! Service: The employees were nice, and the food came out really fast. Ambiance: There's a clean bathroom and many tables to sit at. Highly recommend parking at a nearby parking structure for a shopping complex and walking over! Please try this delicious place with your friends!

This place should probably have two separate businesses on Yelp for review since they currently…read morehave a store front near 4th st market but the Yelp page was also for their food truck. The store front is easy to find as they have a large visible sign showing "CHURROS" near the street. The items can get pricey, as I recently picked up just an ice cream with churros and bag of churros which ended up at $20. There's a $1 charge on credit cards which also seems a bit like charging the customer on any business transaction. The location is a decent size so it could definitely fit groups and such. Unfortunately my visit did not really go well, as after ordering and receiving a buzzer to let us know when the order is complete, we waited for over 10 minutes to have other customers place orders after us and receive their orders before our buzzer went off. Eventually, one of the associates noticed we had been waiting for a while and came to us to ask if we had placed an order already. For some reason, the buzzer was not programmed to our order, and I ended up asking the cashier for my receipt to confirm that my order was placed. This was frustrating as we had originally entered the store as the only guests and 3 other parties had entered the store after us and received their orders before us. Fortunately, the associates closest to us near the pick up order section noticed that we had been waiting for an extended period of time and came out to ask what we had ordered to help us make our missing order. I have no idea how our order was missed but it was not a great experience to wait in a store with no AC (only the front doors propped open for ventilation) and there was no real apology for the mishap. However, we're very appreciative of some of the staff members noticing that we had been patiently waiting for our order.

Don Churros has to be one of the BEST desserts I've had in Orange County. Some of my friends kept…read moretelling me this was one of the best dessert spots around OC and after finally trying it, I can definitely see why. We came around 10 PM on a Saturday night and there was already a pretty long line. Apparently we got lucky because I was told the line wasn't even as long as it normally gets lol. Surprisingly though, we waited less than 10 minutes. The staff here works FAST. You can literally see how hard everyone is working behind the counter getting all the orders out. There's also a waiting area with bench seating which is nice if you're hanging around eating your churros. Plenty of parking too so that wasn't an issue at all. There's even a Jalisco taco tent right next door, so honestly you could grab tacos first and then come here for dessert We were recommended the Traditional Churros with vanilla bean ice cream and this was easily the highlight for me. The traditional ones are super crispy on the outside but really soft inside. It reminds me of the classic Mexican churros you'd get from street vendors, markets or festivals, just done REALLY well. They had the perfect amount of cinnamon sugar too. Definitely on the sweeter side but thats exactly how I want my churros. With the vanilla bean ice cream and Mexican caramel on top... SO GOOD. Everything just worked together perfectly. The hot crispy churros with the cold vanilla ice cream and caramel was seriously addicting. I've actually been to Spain and tried churros from cafes that have been around for literally 100 to 200+ years, and honestly Don Churros is still up there with some of the best churros I've ever had. Probably one of the best I've tried in North America so far. Also really cool knowing they're originally from Jalisco, Mexico! We also ordered the mixed boxes, but unfortunately by 10 PM they had already sold out of the Don Churros and only had the Traditional ones left. Since the Don Churros cost a little more we asked if they could maybe hook us up with some extra Traditional Churros instead. And they REALLY hooked us up They gave us a ton of extras, basically another full bag of Traditional Churros!! Really appreciated that and honestly the customer service here was exceptional. Even with the long line everyone was friendly, moving quick and working really hard. Fresh, super crispy outside, soft inside, lots of cinnamon sugar and even better with the vanilla bean ice cream and their syrups. Definitely get a box to take home too, its worth it. I'll 100% be back. Don Churros is easily one of my favorite dessert spots in OC now and genuinely one of the best desserts I've had around here. GO TO DON CHURROS!!

After being at the B&M site, we decided to check out Don Churros in their food truck site. Prices…read moreare the same as well as having the same selection. It is conveniently located near Disneyland down the road by a few minutes though they're only open Thursdays thru Sundays in the afternoon into the evening. You can even call in your order without having the wait in line. Highly suggested on the weekend evenings but don't wait too long as they can sometimes run on out on certain items that you may want. You call or text their number. I texted them with my order and it was nice, hot and ready when you get in. Here's the thing about ordering via text. Make sure you text so it does not mess the flow of the regular line. This was asked of me when I made my order. Service is pretty quick, the employees seem nice, and the churros are heavenly. Prices are pretty reasonable for what you get. They are crispy fried on the outside but fluffy and soft on the inside. We always get the Full thread for the four of us and we can't finish, which is rare, we bring it home and air fry any leftovers. With the churros we always buy their dipping sauces and all of them are great. Great churros, ice cream , drinks and drizzles. You can't go wrong! There are a few benches you can sit at that are in near the food truck where you can either sit to eat or even wait for your order. Thank you Don Churros for your delicious desserts! Can't wait to come back, as always!

My first time stepping into this store, after hearing of its legendary status and having eaten one…read moreof their best-selling strawberry croissants a time or 2 months ago. Good thing I got here before 11am on my way to church; I read a review here that the lines go out the door after 11am. Whew. On this inaugural visit, I got thei namesake cream pan. Ate it with great joy & delight. So delicious, so delectable. One thing I don't get is how there's over 8k photos here when the sign clearly says no photography and no video, but lots of people still love to take photos. My best guess is the store owners don't want people slowing down the line & keep everyone moving along. There are signs for that too, to move it along.

My favorite was definitely the pork…read morebun--the bun was soft and fluffy with just a hint of sweetness, and the pork filling was flavorful. I'd happily come back just for that. The sandwich and strawberry croissant were both good, and the fresh carrot juice was excellent--very fresh, naturally sweet, and refreshing.

I honestly had a little bit of a cultural shock--in the best way!…read more As someone who absolutely loves matcha and coffee, I was surprised that I had never heard of this place before. It has such a unique vibe. It's located around Downtown Santa Ana, and the sign isn't very big, so it can be a little hard to find. Honestly, I'm glad I came with my friends because if I had come by myself, I probably would have missed it and gone home. The atmosphere is definitely different from your typical Orange County coffee shop. I heard the owners are from New York, and I think you can feel that influence. It has a very urban, sophisticated feel, but at the same time, there's something warm yet slightly cool and edgy about the space. It's hard to explain, but it has a personality of its own. The coffee bar is completely open, so you can watch the baristas make your drink and see every little movement they make. I wanted to try so many things on the menu, but I had already had two cups of coffee that day, so I decided to go with matcha instead. What really impressed me was how detailed they were when taking my order. They asked about the sweetness level, syrup options, type of milk, and even the type of cup I wanted. Since I was staying to enjoy my drink there, they served my matcha in a beautiful glass. And watching them make the matcha right in front of me was such a treat. It wasn't just some sweet matcha powder mixed with milk. You could really taste the quality of the matcha, and the drink was clean, smooth, and delicious. Santa Ana is a little far from my home, so I don't come here very often. But this place made me want to come back someday, take my time, and just enjoy a cup of matcha without rushing. Definitely a place with its own character. Would I come back? 100% YES.

I believe their espresso leans toward a lighter roast, coming through bright and expressive, while the milk drinks are dialed in with that smooth, silky texture that makes you want to savor. That said, the drinks don't always scratch the itch for me in the way I might expect but it might just be that their speciality drinks aren't quite what I typically look for. Nonetheless I do still think they have a strong coffee program and a team that clearly cares about craft.

Cauldron is amazing!…read more Used to enjoy the San Diego location frequently but they went out of business a few years ago. Was in the area this evening after a kids event and grabbed some Cauldron. Still fantastic! Made fresh, super creamy and delicious! My wife got the Puffle with Milk & Cereal flavor, enjoyed it a ton. Kids and I all got mint chocolate chip, VERY creamy with big chunks of chocolate. Wish we had one closer to home! Highly recommend.

From the ads and pictures everything seemed cool. The way they make ice cream is unique and I'll…read moregive it that. So let's get to it. We ordered three things; mint chocolate chip, rose, and milk and cereal. All with a bubble waffle cone. The service was disappointing, the guy who worked there seemed like he didn't care and it was just another job. No life to him and was just rude about asking the code for the bathroom. The mint and chip is basic. Nothing too much about it. My kids like it, so I got it. Average 3/5. The rose ice cream tasted like a rose, it was pretty good and very floral. The disappointing part is I was hoping the ice cream would be shaped like a rose as depicted on the picture. Nope, just a scoop and left it as is. 5/5 for taste and 0/5 for presentation. The milk and cereal one was actually pretty good. Especially with Frosted Flakes in it. It literally taste like cereal. 5/5. I would give it a higher star if the service complimented it and th presentation of the rose ice cream did.

I've been a loyal customer of Gina's since the COVID days when they were just a small neighborhood…read morestand across from the Santa Ana Superior Court. I followed them through all the street night markets until they opened up their store in 4th street market. The new shop is located in almost like a food court towards the back left corner. While the market itself doesn't really have the best aesthetic or ambiance, they have enough seating to fit large crowds. My go-to order is the cheesecake crepe with strawberries and blueberries. No other place does it like they do because they use actual slices of real cheesecake inside instead of just a cream cheese/cheesecake spread. As long as they keep that the same, I'll be a customer for life. My only 'complaint' (or more so just a wish) is that I really miss the late-night street stand days. Now that they've focused on the 4th St Market shop, the hours are a bit shorter, which makes it harder to stop by after work. I feel like late night is when the cravings hit. I'd love to see those late-night hours come back, but either way, the place is still 10/10. I haven't tried other of their new or updated menu items but I'm sure they're all great.

We tried the mango sago dessert and the double skin milk with fresh fruit--both were super fresh, not overly sweet, and had that comforting homemade texture. The mango was ripe and fragrant, and the milk pudding was silky and smooth. Drinks were also a nice surprise, especially the creamy ones like avocado milk. Rich but still easy to drink, not heavy or artificial tasting. Service was friendly and patient, even when it got a bit busy. Everything came out quickly and nicely presented. Overall, a great spot if you're craving traditional-style Chinese desserts with a modern, cute twist. Perfect for a casual sweet treat or a chill afternoon stop.

Counter service and kiosk ordering is available. Heard mixed things from friends who come here often (quality can be hit or miss), so keeping expectations in check. But this dessert was solid: pandan jelly, mango, and sticky rice all had a really nice chew to them, and the coconut milk on top kept everything light instead of heavy. Not overly sweet at all, which made it perfect after a meal nearby. Will be back to see if the rest of the menu holds up the same way.

Baked Banhs have some of the best canelés in town, and sadly, they are closing on June 27th! We are…read moreso sad we didn't get to come visit until quite recently. :( We parked in the nearby parking lot on 4th street. Usually parking here isn't too bad if you're staying for less than an hour and easy to walk over to the dessert shop. Baked Banhs is located in the 4th street food market, one of the first shops you'll see if you're coming from the parking lot. Note the hours before you come (for instance, they're closed on Sundays and Mondays). And note that they seem to usually sell out of certain items by the days end. We've tried a number of different items here now including four of their canelés and their basque cheesecake. The cheesecake was solid. But we really loved their canelés. They are soft/moist on the inside with a nice crunch. And the different flavors really come through. Our favorite is the black sesame - not only is there black sesame peppered on the top but also in the center with a nice black sesame cream. It's so good and delicious. Four canelés cost $16 and thought they were well worth the price. Again, it's so sad to hear that Baked Banhs is closing soon so if you're a fan of canelés or other desserts, recommended to come sooner than later to try this out! We really hope they reopen again elsewhere or do a lot of pop-ups soon.
