    Yougurt
    Roger N.

    This is the worst yogurt shop in oc. They will charge you more for your toppings than your actual yogurt and argue with you, keep your money when you dispute raw cookie dough sitting out for hours in your cookie dough.

    More "soft-serve" consistency than frozen yogurt, but still one of my favorite dessert shops. I used to frequent the Irvine location all the time so I'm so glad there's one in CDM nearby. Can't go wrong w/ the old fashioned vanilla, and the cookies and cream is decadent and creamy. Love how many toppings there are - the edible cookie dough is a fan favorite! Excellent service - on the pricier end, but you will leave feeling satisfied (& maybe on a sugar high!)

    I'm shocked by the low rating of Golden Spoon. My husband and I spent the day in CDM and thoroughly enjoyed ending the day with something sweet before heading back to San Diego. We went mid day, around 3pm, so it was very quiet with exception to the 10 people who came and went over the half hour we sat outside. The employee working was friendly and helpful and the restaurant was clean and fully stocked. I ordered a small mango passionfruit sorbet which was so tangy and delicious that I wish I would've ordered a bigger size. My hubby had the peanut butter and cookies and cream which was creamy and spectacular. Definitely going again the next time we're up there.

    First time coming here service was fast. Team worker named Kyle was doing an amazing job. Managed rush stunningly while efficiently completing online orders. Maintained a friendly and clean environment. Food was amazing! Give Kyle a raise!

Bacio di Latte recently opened a location where I'm from, but I haven't gotten around to trying the place because of its ridiculously long line. We strolled into the storefront around 6:45pm. Since we were the only customers at the time, I took my time trying as many samples that piqued my interest. I tried the salted caramel, strawberry cheesecake, caffe & caramel latte, buttercream pretzel, and fragola super latte. The consistency of the gelato was smooth and creamy, and the flavors were bold and pretty spot on. I honestly couldn't have gone wrong with any flavor, but I settled for a piccolo (smallest) cup of two flavors: caffe & caramel latte and fragola super latte. Particularly the fragola super latte was noteworthy because it reminded me of strawberry milk. Absolutely fantastic!

It wasn't a bad thing, it just kind of gave my taste buds a curve ball... CHOCOLATE & SALTED CARAMEL:8/10 It seemed like my hubby enjoyed his gelato but, he said it's was just OK. He is more of a COLDSTONE guy... OVERALL: They take pride and care in making their products. My friends said the afoggato coffee was good!

Store front was decorated with simply pretty pink and red decor. Classic cookies consist of snickerdoodle, chocolate sugar, oatmeal chocolate chip, etc. Signature cookies feature Chocolate Chunk, Double Chocolate Peanut Butter, Oatmeal Butterscotch Salted Caramel, etc. They also sell cookie and ice cream sandwiches along with a few confections. Lady staff was okay. I asked for recommendations. She said their chocolate chip cookie is a crowd favorite. I had to step away for a few minutes. By the time I got back, they ran out of it. I should have gotten it when I had the chance. Oh well. Price per cookie ranged from $5 to $7+ which I thought was just a tad steep. I don't mind paying for high end cookies if they are truly worth every penny. Unfortunately, I can't say my $5 snickerdoodle was the best I've ever had. It wasn't soft when I was informed it was soft. Slightly disappointed. I may give them another chance to woo me. Hope for a better tasting cookie experience next time. Thanks Hudson's!

Even during peak brunch hours, the atmosphere stays lively rather than chaotic, which already puts it ahead of many popular spots in the area.

The Steak & Eggs delivered exactly what you want from a classic done right -- a well-seasoned steak with a beautiful sear, cooked perfectly and paired with eggs that tied the plate together into a satisfying, no-frills brunch win. Service stayed attentive and efficient despite the crowd, and dishes came out paced perfectly. Great Maple understands elevated comfort food and executes it consistently well.

Well, if you haven't jumped on the TikTok bandwagon yet they are basically a mix of traditional American donuts and Japanese Mochi. Made with rice and tapioca flour, they come in the signature "pon de ring" shape that makes them very identifiable. I've been curious about them for awhile but never wanted to cheat on my classic doughnuts. When the glistening new mochinuts caught my eye, I figured it might be the time to start trying other doughnuts lol When I finally caved and purchased some and opened my box of mochinuts, I was pleasantly surprised. I would best describe them as soft, chewy, but not too sticky. Flavors were very mild and despite the enticing decorative toppings, the mochinuts all tasted relatively the same. Additionally, I recommend you devour these morsels when they are fresh as they don't age well with time. By the next morning, the toppings started melting off the tops of my mochinuts. Were they still edible? Yes but I would recommend placing it in the microwave for about 15 seconds to soften them again. Overall, It was a great first experience and I definitely recommend giving them a whirl! Happy Eats!

Timing & Atmosphere: * Avoid Weekends: I would not recommend coming here on a weekend. The store is tiny, and because it's right next to all the bars, the area gets crowded with a lot of drunk people. If that isn't your scene, stick to a weekday visit. * Rewards: It is quite expensive, but it's a nice treat. Plus, you can sign up with your phone number to get discounts for future visits. The Parking Situation: * Virtually Non-Existent: There is no parking lot, so you are stuck looking for small spots along the side of the road. * Accessibility: There is no designated handicap parking, so keep that in mind if you aren't prepared to walk a bit from a side street. Final Verdict: It's a perfect weekday spot for a warm dessert, just be prepared for the peninsula parking struggle!
