From recommending other places in the source to visit for my first time, to making small talk about the area in general and being friendly as my matcha was made, the two ladies were absolute sweethearts the whole time!! I also used to be a server in the food industry, as well as a manager in the food industry for over 10 years... so coming from a pervious server such as myself, I very much appreciated the amazing service!! Thank you so much ladies!!

My wife heard great things about Don Melt so she stopped to grab some ice cream to give it a shot…read more First off, it's located at the end of the mall under the stairs so it took us a while to locate it. Once we arrived, there was plenty of chairs and seating and the place looked pretty cool. They also had a pretty extensive menu which consisted of coffee, tea, lattes, Korean drinks, smoothies, sparkling aids and of course, ice cream. I don't like ice cream but I was actually pretty excited for her to try it. Cool name, cool spot, I'm willing to bet something on it, it's about to be fire! After waiting a while I noticed she was still at the front, I wasn't sure if she was looking at the menu or what. So I go to the front and no one is in sight, I see the bell and I ring it and a young girl comes to help. Make sure you ring the bell smh. Finally after the long wait, and a small line formed behind us, she finally gets her ice cream on a cone. I see her walking towards me happy and then she takes a bite and everything goes out the window. She hated everything about the ice cream. It wasn't what she thought, she didn't like the texture, the flavor or anything about it. She had me taste it and she was right, it tasted like ice without the cream and kind of bland. It is exactly what it is marketed as, low fat, low calorie, low sugar, and low carbs so I have no clue what she thought she was getting. It clearly said, plant based lol. I told her and she said she at least wanted it to taste creamy and she was right, it was far from creamy but Don Melt didn't do anything wrong lol. Anyway, she didn't want to be mean so she held on to it until we got a few stores down and tossed it. Then we went on a hunt to find her ice cream smh. Now, from my experience, it wasn't bad and I understand what they are doing. It's a healthy ice cream that isn't creamy and it's not something I would eat but I get the concept. It's for healthy eaters wanting to fill a craving, which isn't for everyone and I think she was being a little emotional about wanting her ice cream. I personally wouldn't go back for the ice cream but I'd be willing to try something else off of their menu. I can see why this is pretty popular among healthy eaters. OOO 3 out of 5 Afros

This was one of the few businesses that have been there since I first started visiting the Source…read more(looking at pre-COVID days) that have remained until now. It's located on the first floor on the in between "halls". The times that I've gone there have been quite busy, very surprising for a place that used to be super dead, and even now with more businesses, I still see a good amount of people dining in for their bingsoo. Service is decently fast. There's seating inside and outside, but it's SUPER limited. You might have to take it to go and go into the food court seating area or to the lawn stairs area. Because of the number of customers, it weirdly gets warm inside and it can get messy and dirty. As expected of trash cans filling up, dessert melting and getting everywhere on the tables, etc. So just keep that in mind. I'm unfortunately super biased due to Sul and Beans and that's been my standard since it's the first and closest Korean shaved ice to me. For our visit we got the Melon Okbingsul. We got the cup size since this was more than enough to share with 3 people. All of the toppings are on top. It's cantaloup balls with condensed milk, vanilla ice cream and cheese cake bits and a raspberry. All the toppings are at the top, so with the limited amount of space, this might make it tough to evenly distribute things out without using a separate cup or spilling it over. It's literally smooth shaved ice that's being carried by the toppings all on top. It's no interspersed or that unique in comparison to other bingsoo I've had elsewhere. Now with more emerging eateries in the Source, there's more options out there for dessert.

What happened to this place? Is the owner not taking care of this dessert shop?…read more I remember the bingsoos being tasty with ice finely shaved... Not last night's bingsoo... ice was corse and messy...$30 for 2 corse ice desserts... They were only accepting cash and the place was HOT inside. I should have checked reviews first...

Decent beverages and treats spot located at the Source (outdoor mall) in Buena Park. The hubby,…read morestepdaughter and I were walking around the ground level and opted for this spot for smoothies. Plenty of tables and chairs for seating and partaking in either beverages, savory noodles, sweet treats, or soft serve. The stepdaughter and I both chose pistachio smoothies which were very tasty and satisfying on a warm SoCal day. Hubby chose a peach flavored smoothie that he also thought was tasty. Their happy face logo on the cups is cute. Service at the counter was OK not memorable. They were pretty busy on a Saturday late afternoon so I remember wiping off the table we sat in with some of my own sanitizer and napkins. We seldom go to the Source but if we visit this area again, we would try Overflo's soft serve. 3.5 stars rounded down.

We ordered matcha ice cream, I was expecting a full matcha soft ice cream, not a matcha topping on a white ice cream.

Great service, the girl at the counter was helpful and sweet. Located in the source OC, a korean mall with a lots of parking!

Such a cute ice cream shop with a wide variety of unique and delicious flavors!…read more Upon entering, we were greeted by the friendly staff. I really appreciated how nice and helpful the workers were. The girl who helped us offered recommendations and let us sample a handful of flavors. Ultimately we decided to get a flight which included 4 flavors of kid sized scoops for $15. They had a "Brewed and Bold" offering as part of their seasonal menu so we decided to get the Black Sesame Cookies and Cream, Thai Tea Buttercrunch, Matchaberry Brownie, and their Hojicha Chip. The ice cream flavors were subtle but so delicious and refreshing. I can't wait to come back and try more of their flavors. Parking can be a bit tough depending on the time of day as it's in a busy plaza shared with other eateries, but thankfully we were able to snag a spot within a few minutes.

I tried a kids size ice cream with red bean and vanilla. They only had vanilla and chocolate ice cream that day so I could not get the full experience of the taro red bean ice cream.

This location is further away from me, yet I sometimes make it a stop for me if I go to a restaurant or shop in this plaza. This visit, I tried their matcha milkshake-- loved how it had that signature taste of honey with a light matcha taste. It literally tasted like their true milk ice creams but in a sippable form. My go to's for their true milk ice creams are the sweetie (ice cream with honey) or their dear caramel for a sweeter treat (ice cream with caramel and sea salt). Service was decent-- fast service and order came out quickly. I considered to try their chestnut milkshake, but neither of the workers tried it so they couldn't really give me a flavor profile or true recommendation on if it was good or not. Price point is average, but for their ice creams may be on the pricier end for the size. Ambiance is so cute at night with the light bulbs!
