First of all, you really can't beat this location! Right across from main beach, it's a perfect…read morespot to grab a treat before or after going to the beach. The interior is adorable as well! I loved all the little macaron themed decor and accents; it really gives this place a fun vibe. Service here was wonderful as well! I was pretty overwhelmed with all the options, so they were very patient and took the time to go over all their items with me. Now let's get to the DESSERTS. The macarons were a hit and came in so many different flavors it was hard to choose! They are also gluten free, which was a huge bonus. My favorite was the lavender white chocolate. They also had a variety of chocolates with different fillings that were an absolute delight. The raspberry macaron cake was also a hit! The fresh raspberries and creamy filling were so yummy. They also had ice cream and drinks that I will have to come back to try! They have a little something for everyone, so definitely check them out the next time you need a sweet treat in Laguna Beach!

They have all sorts of chocolate-dipped goodies, chocolate pieces and non-chocolate items in addition to cards and other gifts. In March, the little shop was dressed for Easter with rabbits all over.

Cute little chocolate shop in Laguna Beach. The milk…read morechocolate was alright, but I didn't care for the dark chocolate. I liked they had some nostalgia Willy Wonka Bars, I bought one it was my husband's 70th Birthday he could relate to it. I ordered the milk chocolate sea foam, dark chocolate dipped ginger and a peanut butter kiss. I also bought a sarcastic pen and blown glass tiny sheep. The server was nice.

We stopped in for a little treat after a quick visit to the beach. They have so many flavors!!…read moreThis month the theme was something along the lines of "sea mythology" (think mermaids, kraken, sea witches, etc.) so they had probably around 6 flavors with clever names to fit the theme. Besides that, they had all the standard gelato flavors, plus a ton more unique ones! I was tempted to try so many of them (even though I'm that person that always just orders chocolate chip or hazelnut anyway). My daughter picked taro and the "sea witch" flavor, which was purple sweet potato and squid ink caramel. She got to sample both of them before deciding since I wasn't sure if she would like those flavors, but she did! And even though she mainly picked them because they were purple, they actually complimented each other well since they were both sweet root vegetables haha. This place offered 4 different sizes (kid, small, medium and large). Even the kid size was a bit much for my 4 year old daughter, but it's probably the right size for like a 10 year old... Naturally I helped her finish it! The gelato was delicious and I loved the uniqueness of both of these flavors! The visual aesthetic was fabulous, too. Our server was very kind and patient as my daughter decided what she wanted. We sat in the store for a few minutes as we ate before we headed back to our parking meter. There were around 4 small tables with a couple chairs each for sitting. It seems like enough since most people probably grab n go since there's so much window shopping to do in this area. In summary, we loved this gelato shop and can't wait to see what future seasonal flavors they have!

Best gelato place in Orange County in my opinion…read more The highlight is their unique rotating flavors. I highly recommend choosing something from the rotating selection (bottom row) since it's where you'll find truly unique flavors. Where else would you have marzipan, almond, and pandan in gelato form?

The Hunt to find the best ice cream after a beach day continues…read more.. Sunday evening 7ish pm about a 20 min line (not a fan for lines) You get the option for soft serve Vanilla, ice cream bar or frozen banana. we decided on three ice cream bars. Once we got to the counter everything looked pretty standard, familiar. We got a sprinkles bar, butterfinger bar and strawberry shortcake bar. Nothing impressive, basic vanilla w a topping. I suppose I was expecting some more exciting ice cream flavors, combos. If you like straight forward basic ice cream this is your place. otherwise you'll be a little disappointed. The place is small, no indoor seats, two outdoor wobbling tables, each w wobbling umbrellas but they look cute. Staff too busy chatting to suggest anything. $7.50 per bar, It was ok. Likely won't go out of my way to look for parking or stand in line. But it's always fun to try new places.

My wife and I really enjoy this place, especially for the affogato. I usually get the classic…read moreaffogato with vanilla ice cream, and my wife loves the mocha affogato with chocolate ice cream and a light chocolate drizzle both are consistently delicious. We also like the location. It's a small, clean shop with a nice atmosphere, and the lady helping us was polite and welcoming. The espresso pairs perfectly with the ice cream, making it an easy spot we'll keep coming back to when we're in the area. Definitely a great choice for affogato lovers.

The visit felt easy and relaxed, with no waiting and a chance to try something new. The shop itself was clean and inviting, and the staff was absolutely lovely. Their friendliness and attentiveness made the experience more enjoyable and added a personal touch that made us feel welcome right away. That said, the ice cream did not quite match the price. It was tasty enough, but it did not feel worth the cost, and I left thinking I probably would not return for the ice cream alone. If you want to spend a little extra to enjoy kind service and avoid long lines, it is fine, but it was not memorable enough to make a repeat visit. The staff was the highlight and made the experience better than expected.

No matter which one you go to, Urth is always busy. Thankfully, they're pretty quick and have…read morethings well orchestrated because it usually takes less than 15 minutes to get our food/drinks. The place is always bustling and people park 2 - 3 blocks away just to have a taste of their goodness. The blueberry cheesecake is always a must... Sometimes we eat one there and then take one to go. This time we also tried the tiramisu and Spanish latte granita... both were delicious! I tried the pancetta pizza and after one slice and about 30 minutes, I started getting a migraine. No more for me... the combination of cheese and Italian meat or too salty for my brain. Oh well, I'll have to try something else next time hehehe...

We were in the area and excited to try this Cafe since it was popular on social media. We ordered…read morethe mushroom pizza ($20.95), the tuna salad ($7.25) and two drinks (~$11 and $10 each). Our pizza came out cold which was disappointing considering we waited 42 minutes for the food. The tuna salad wasn't the best. The drinks also looked nothing like the photos. This service felt underprepped. They were out of straws, other customers were complaining about missing items, and overall unhappy customers it sounded like. The ambiance was nice, I will say. Other than that, the food for dinner specifically wasn't exceptional.

We never felt rushed or pressured to order quickly. I got the spicy chicken sandwich after seeing previous reviews, and my wife got the Lagunaian wedge and Mac & cheese. Everything was exceptional. I love blue cheese, but am not the biggest fan of fried chicken with cheese on it. This combo flipped me on my head, so delicious with the blue cheese slaw. The Mac & cheese was almost like a hybrid of a baked Mac and a gooier stovetop style Mac, and the six cheese blend added a lot of depth of flavor. We have already agreed that we will be back at least once more while we're down here for the chicken sandwich again.
