We stopped in after dinner the other night. Parking can be tough to find at times. The restaurant…read moreitself is small but charming. We got a matcha latte and a strawberry matcha latte to drink. Both were refreshing on a very hot SoCal day. The foodie plate caught our eye. You get a good amount of mini pancakes, deep fried oreos and churros. All freshly made of course. You also get a scoop of ice cream. We got the red velvet, which was an amazing choice. And you get several options of toppings and sauces. The churro cheesecake also caught my eye. Fresh made and the subtle cinnamon on top was perfection. We topped it with lechera and strawberries. The service was warm and friendly. Just a great place for dessert and can't wait to go back and try some more.

Fair Food Without the Fair!…read more The OC Fair may be over, but Dulce Canella in Norwalk is a great spot to satisfy those fair food cravings! We tried the red velvet and Fruity Pebbles milkshakes, and the Fruity Pebbles one was basically like drinking a bowl of cereal. The churros and fried Oreos were made fresh, crispy, and came with ice cream on the side. You could really hear the crunch with every bite! The churro cheesecake topped with fresh strawberries was another favorite. I liked that the texture was more cake-like and that it wasn't overly sweet. To balance out all the desserts, we also got the loaded chicken fries, which were topped with nacho cheese and crispy chicken. Definitely a good savory option after all those sweets. Overall, Dulce Canella is worth checking out if you're in the Norwalk area and have a sweet tooth. Lots of fun dessert options and some savory items to keep things balanced!

However, it didn't have as strong of a matcha taste, or there was some slightly artificial aftertaste. 50-50 on if I'd get it again. Service was super quick, ordered at the front and got drinks within a few minutes. Not a crowded store, and not too loud!

I liked how you could taste the matcha without it being overpowered by sugar or milk. One downside, when I was asked whether I wanted it in a cup a cone, I said cup. Later I had changed my mind and asked for the cone, in which then I was told I would be charged for the cone. With the soft serve almost being 9 dollars already, it was ridiculous knowing I needed to pay more for the cone. Should I had known, I would have asked for the cone to begin with. Seating is minimal. Another downside, bathroom didn't have a changing station for my baby.

If you are looking for a unique experience stop by Cravings Ice Cream! The menu is fun and I have…read morenot seen anything like their options before. The ice cream was a 5/5 for me, the toppings, and waffles combined well giving a crunch to the soft ice cream. Free parking is available but limited, and they have outdoor seating with a v for entertainment. I was joyed to see the international snacks available for purchase! I had to buy some oreos. Another perk was the eatery nextdoor!

Update: They're no longer affiliated with Fivestars!…read more I've since gone two additional times to try their waffle bites. My last trip was kind of spontaneous because I suddenly got a Fivestars reward that day for these waffle bites. However, when I arrived, I was looking for the Fivestars tablet only to be met by a Clover tablet instead. It felt like I went through a time warp because the employee working behind the register didn't seem to have any idea what I was trying to say regarding Fivestars, though he did notice a little trifold card on the front counter mentioning Fivestars. I asked if he could get his manager so I could explain, and even show, him my Fivestars reward. The reward said "already accepted", which he almost thought meant I had redeemed it already, but if that were the case, then it would have said "already redeemed". Given that they've now done away with Fivestars, I'm not too surprised he may have gotten the words "accepted" confused with "redeemed", but luckily, he was happy enough to honor it for me. The employee who assisted me was very helpful, though he did ask me to repeat the topping and the drizzle that I wanted. I chose the Strawberry Cheesecake flavor ice cream with Fruity Pebbles toppings and a Strawberry drizzle on top. Since I had already tried the cookie flavors before, I figured I'd try the fruity flavors this time around. He said he needed about 5 minutes to prepare my waffle bites, which were presented a little different than last time. Last time, I got the Cookie Butter flavor with *Cookie* Crisp and Peanut *Butter* (see what I did there?), and it came in a small plastic takeout container. This one came in a large plastic cup, and I'm thinking the logistics may have changed a ton between my last two visits. I did appreciate how the employee asked if I wanted the waffles on top of or beneath the ice cream before making the waffle bites; I chose on top. He also asked if I'd like powdered sugar on top, to which I agreed. Unfortunately, neither of the waffle bites I got from my last two visits impressed me that much. As a matter of fact, the only thing that impressed me was the strawberry drizzle. Everything else fell kind of flat. While generous in size for the $8 price tag, the Cookie Butter and the Strawberry Cheesecake ice cream didn't really taste like these flavors at all! For whatever reason, the peanut butter didn't add much flavor, but the strawberry drizzle added a lot! How even?! In short, the waffle bites weren't that much of an upgrade from the ice cream scoop that I had on my first visit. I'm willing to say "too much good was no good" here. The waffles themselves were good, but they can only do so much when a flavored ice cream doesn't even taste like that flavor. It's worth noting that on my penultimate visit, when I got the Cookie Butter Waffle Bites, I saw two employees behind the front counter who were ready to take my order. I asked them to explain what the waffle bites were, but it took them a couple of tries to actually understand what I was asking. From what I gathered, the waffle bites were similar to the ice cream scoop I had on my first visit, but with the addition of a warm waffle to supplement the ice cream. However, the step-by-step process remains the same. I was initially told it would take 6 minutes to prepare the Cookie Butter Waffle Bites, but it actually took 15! It seemed like one was training the other or they were trying to gather the ingredients and/or the steps needed to create the waffle bites. After about 10 minutes, I was told by one of the employees they had to make a new batch of waffles because the first batch had burnt. The music was getting pretty loud, so it was hard to hear him after that, but I didn't want to hold up the kitchen prep process any longer. I just said "Alright, sure" so he could continue preparing my order. I do appreciate how he let me know of this so that I'd know the reason for the extended wait, but I wish they weren't so ill-prepared during my visit. So overall, still 3 stars overall. I appreciate the prior partnership with Fivestars, but these missed opportunities have led me to believe that Cravings is just not for me. I doubt I'll try anything else on their ice cream menu, and considering that there are only a few parking spots in their lot, it will take a lot to get me to try their hot chicken. And speaking of lack of parking, I also want to mention that on my second visit, I saw two open parking stalls right in front of Cravings, one on either side of a car. That car had its driver's side wide open so that I couldn't park there. I had to park on the passenger side of that car, which he left much less room for. Perhaps a microcosm of the clientele in this part of town? Everybody deserves a second chance, right? Unfortunately, not everybody can make the most of them, and this is just one example of such. Thanks for the sweet treats Cravings, but I'll get my next one somewhere else.

I've been going to Cafe 86 for a while now, and it's definitely the place to go for all your ube…read morecravings! They have so many ube and other Filipino-inspired treats to choose from, including Ube milkshake, Ube Pop-Tart, Milo cupcake, Turon Pop-Tart, Ube crinkles, halo-halo, Ube flan cupcake, Ube cheesecake, Ube tres leches, and more. They also have a variety of teas, lattes, milkshakes, slushies, and even sandwiches if you're looking for something savory. The upside-down halo-halo is absolutely one of my favorite things to order here. The regular size is actually very large -- definitely big enough to share with a few people. Everything else I've tried here has been really good, too. Most of the desserts are on the sweeter side, so prepare yourself for some seriously sweet goodness! The service is always excellent. I love that they have indoor seating where you can relax, socialize, or study in the welcoming atmosphere. Whether you're completely new to ube or grew up eating it, I definitely recommend checking this place out. As a fellow Filipino and longtime ube lover, I can confidently say that Cafe 86 always satisfies the craving!

I really enjoyed the Oreo cookie flavor and was pleasantly surprised it came with these amazingly delicious waffle pieces. It was the cherry on top for sure! They offer vegan options as well. They also have ice cream packed to go. Their location is clean, pretty and bright. I would definitely come back!

They are very friendly and I am sure they would have fixed it for me if I would have just asked but I didn't care to. I am excited to try their brick and mortar. Their food truck is cute and I like their logo.

After requesting to place an order for a cake I would need the next day the staff was more than happy to accept my order. Originally, I would have liked to order a carrot cake but those cakes need to be ordered at least a week in advance so that was very much my fault. I ended up going with a classic tres leches cake which tasted wonderful. Miriam was the one to help me out. Bonus points for having the same name ;) Miriam made great detailed questions to make sure the cake was exactly what I wanted it to be referencing off a picture I had showed her as inspiration. From size all the way down to the smallest details, Miriam disclosed information about how certain designs or details I wanted would change the presentation of the cake, and made sure I was delightlfuly satisfied with what would be the result. She broke down every last detail including how the icing would likely stain our mouths and very nicely reassured me that it would rise right off with water swishes. Overall I was incredibly satisfied with the service I was given, and I greatly appreciate how Miriam thought about every question in order to complete my desired vision.

They have two ordering kiosks, which I love because you can take your time, look at the menu with pictures, and not feel rushed. The workers are always nice and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. My absolute favorite is the Twin snow mountains. I'm obsessed with the vanilla frost -- it's like chewing ice that's perfectly flavored with vanilla. The vanilla and matcha ice cream blend together really well, and pairing that with the grass jelly and strawberries is chef's kiss. My only tiny wish is that the strawberries were cut into smaller pieces so I could get one in every bite, but honestly I'll gladly do it myself. I come here all the time just for this dessert. It's my go-to and never disappoints.

Parking: They're located in a high foot traffic plaza, so finding a parking spot can be difficult. Ambiance/Environment: They have a small space with a decent amount of indoor seating. The tables and seats were kept clean. There's cute decor from the ceiling as well. This is the type of spot where you'd bring your family with younger kids for something sweet, while the adults sit and talk. When we visited, my family and one other family pretty much took up all the tables lol. Service: There was only one worker behind the counter serving and making the drinks and desserts. She doesn't acknowledge anyone. It wasn't too busy, but throughput took a while since she was by herself. There's two kiosk to order from. You don't really interact with the worker until she brings out your order. Desserts & drinks: We ordered a mixture of almost everything. We noticed there were a few menu items that were out of stock. I ordered a mango pamelo sago, my sister ordered a brown sugar boba milk tea, my cousin ordered an americano, and my other cousin ordered a strawberry & cream eggette. I thought the mango pamelo sago was okay; the mango flavor was lacking except for the actual mangos. There was plenty of sago, but I thought this dessert was underwhelming. My sister thought the boba was okay bc it had an interesting texture, and the drink itself was lightly sweet than what she's used to. My cousin thought the coffee was okay. The only thing we all enjoyed was the eggette. It's a bubble waffle with ice cream and fresh fruits, which is pretty difficult to mess up. Pricing: Prices are pretty high for the portions offered. Overall, the desserts were underwhelming and some didn't meet our expectations. The eggettes are most likely the only thing we'll come back for.
