Definitely pretty good for not being Dole Whip from the Hawaii plantation. It is $7.50 for a single small serving or $14 for a pineapple souvenir cup. As others stated, it is hard to find. It is by the Dole play structure near the end of the boardwalk to the right of the Octotron ride.

I was craving dole whip and luckily this was in the area. All I can say is it was totally worth it. Service was quick and there was no line. Totally missed out on taking that aesthetic dole whip picture so I decided to give it a smile.

Dole whip is my love language! I picked up a swirl during the Spring Bloom festivities at Belmont when they had the strawberry flavor and got half pineapple and half strawberry with tajin. But honestly, nothing will ever beat the original. Dole whip for liiiiiife!!! LOVE IT! And if you haven't tried it, you NEED to!

This location was not a easy find. It was hidden and not so "DOLE " advertising like previous photos. This little mobile unit was actually tucked under another amusement function with ropes etc. Dole pineapple was pretty tasty. Almost as good as the one I tried from the dole whip factory in Hawaii. Would be pretty cool if they offered pineapple chunks as toppings for these but I didn't see a option. "Hint hint."

The fact that there is Dole Whip, alone, merits a 5-star review. (We don't have it where I'm from) Service was fast and good, the young lady at the register was friendly and efficient. We had the Dole Whip and the float with Tajin. So gooooood!

Dole Whip "Stand"

Dole Whip is a refreshing concoction of soft vanilla and pineapple ice cream. My grandson won one on the miniature golf 18th hole. Later, we enjoyed samples being offered near the stand. Actually, I think it's the best frozen treat in Belmont Park.

Dole whip!!!

Was hanging out at sea world and found this place by accident. Nestled in the middle of Belmont park is this gem. Small stand is shaped like a Jeep. Ordered the dole whip ($5) and shake($6). Dole whip is pineapple soft serve. Dole whip shake is dole whip with pineapple juice. Both just like Disneyland, but a fraction of the cost. I'm definitely coming again. :-P

Hood ornament whip!

Oh sooo delicious just when i thought these couldn't get any better i discovered that this stand is mixing the already insanely delicious Dole Whips with vanilla which just threw the flavor profile over the top! The vanilla pineapple one had its own unique flavor that was just sooo good and definitely hit the spot. The regular pineapple swirl was just as good as the ones i get at Disneyland and oh soo good i love these because there is not many places that have these delicious whips! Don't forget about this location wile it is kinda hidden around the corner from the mini golf you will be ever soo happy you came here because its just that good! Overall they are priced just about right for the size cup you get and just soo yummy next time im totally getting a vanilla pineapple swirl float because that just sounds too good to pass up!

Mmm dole whip! We saw the sign for dole whip at the entrance of Belmont park and searched high and low for the elusive treat. We looked at the dessert menus at every food booth, and nope, not there. Just when we were about to give up, we stumbled upon the truck. Hooray! It was tucked next to the tiki miniature golf. The truck has 3 items, all dedicated to dole whip. Dole whip (pineapple soft serve) = $3. Dole whip swirl (with vanilla ice cream) = $3. Dole whip float (with pineapple juice) = $4. My float was delicious! Worth the search!

OMG i can get dole whip without going to disneyland ...and for half the price?!?!? OH WAIT i saw a coupon online 2 for 1 at dole whip (i found it after i went here)...saved for next time. same dole whip as disney...in a hella cute kiosk...right in the middle of Belmont Park. If you don't want an entire cup o whip (why wouldn't you?) you can get a free sample...or 2 or 3... this place is awesome! i would be heartbroken if they ever left.

Dole Whip Truck

Located at Belmont Park in Mission Beach. The ice cream truck is tucked in the park near Escapology. We ordered the pineapple and mango flavors. The pineapple flavor was the best out of the two. The mango flavor tasted fake. Costs $5 for a serving of dole whip.

Whip it, good!
Erin A.

So tangy, yet sweet. Cold, refreshing, and light. My mouth is salivating just thinking about it. If you're a pineapple fiend, go out of your way for the Dole Whip! It's a delicious frozen treat to beat the heat with and it's only available at a handful of locations in San Diego. They have the classic Dole whip or a float and you can pay extra to get it in a souvenir cup. You can get straight Dole ship, or tame the pineapple flavor with a Dole-vanilla swirl. Can't go wrong!

..never knew they made swirl..
Maryella P.

I'm so excited to have found this hidden gem. It's tucked away in some corner at Belmont Park so I don't know how long it's even been there and I'm pretty mad at that. Dole Whip is one of my favorite things to eat at Disneyland so it's so great that I can get it closer to home. Here you can get it mixed with vanilla or strawberry. And you can add Tajin! And it's cheap. And it's tasty. And if you get the float, it's super refreshing. For those that don't know, dole whip is a pineapple flavored frozen treat and it's freaking amazing. It's pretty much a vacation in my mouth. O_o

The only challenge here is finding parking…read more There is a paid parking lot south on Union street and that is only a 5-minute walk including the wait at the stop light. This place sells itself. If you want to have an amazing dessert experience this is the place! There is another location north of this location about a 7-minute drive but there are not as many tables. The same inventory but the parking is even more limited. The ordering workflow can be confusing at this location but here's how it works. The line on the left lets you view the dessert display that line will get you to the cashier but patrons think the line starts at the cashier. It does not, it can be confusing. I recommend having one person in your party stand in line near the register and have another party stand in line near the dessert display case on the left side. Swap places with your party if they want a better visual of the desserts. The coffee, tea and lemonade are good here, just be patient with your order it's a process here but the wait is worth it. Enjoy!

This was not our first time visiting Extraordinary Desserts, which makes this experience even more disappointing. Sadly, every time we come back, the service seems to get worse. The waiter's attitude and level of attention were unacceptable, and the overall customer service was simply not there. For a place that is supposed to be about enjoying beautiful desserts and having a nice experience, the quality of the service completely ruined our visit. Service, attention, and hospitality were all a zero.

The cafe features a small indoor space paired with a bustling sidewalk patio that is perfect for people wanting to bask in the sunshine! Because of its location, street parking is highly competitive and difficult to find, especially during the weekends. Service was quick and efficient. You pay at the register for either a cup or cone, and then order your gelato. Prices are reasonable. And the quality of ingredients in their gelato taste like fresh, ripe produce in season rather than sugary syrups or artificial extracts. Pappalecco gelato offers a pure flavor profile that develops cleanly on the palate like a bell curve and leaves a pleasant, lingering aftertaste 10/10! Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a new gelato spot! We're definitely looking forward to our next visit!

They have a great variety to choose from, whether you're into milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or even non dairy options. I also love that they offer chocolate drinks and coffee, so it's easy to turn a quick stop into a little treat moment. I tried the peanut butter dates and they were so good. Smooth, rich, and just the right size when you want something sweet without going overboard. I also had a dark chocolate truffle and that one was just as good. You can really taste the quality. Customer service was a highlight. The guy helping me was super personable, gave great suggestions for drinks, and was genuinely kind, which always makes the experience better. Honestly, I'm just happy I found a chocolate spot within walking distance. Definitely worth stopping by if you're craving something sweet but still want it to feel a little elevated.

I sampled chocolate from Peru, Madagascar, and Kenya, and they all had unique fruity characteristics. Because they're vegan, so they use oat milk for their chocolate instead of dairy.

They are family owned and they only add chocolate, sugar, and oat milk to make their bars. Overall, this was a fun place to check out at Little Italy, and they also had a stall at the Farmer's Market.

If you're waiting in line or making the trip out, I'd highly recommend adding a cake or pastry to your order. We came on Saturday around 11:30am and there was a line outside that took about 30 minutes to get in. While we were waiting, we saw parking enforcement come around a few times so make sure that you pay the meter! The inside is soo cute! We ended up staying here for a bit and studying because it was super spacious and cozy. There is a lot of seating in the front and back and even outside too! A lot of people were there working as well. There are plenty of outlets available so that was nice. If you do plan on studying/working, just bring noise cancelling headphones cuz it does get loud. The biscoff matcha latte was pretty sweet and the matcha flavor was not that strong but it was definitely a dessert more than a drink. Their cakes are pretty great too, I don't like cake but their cakes are worth trying. I liked the banana dessert the best though, it was like a banana pudding. My bf did say it was too sweet and he has a big sweet tooth, but I preferred that over the cake!
