The ice cream had pieces of snickerdoodle mixed in with the cinnamon ice cream which was an incredible combination.

And let me tell you, it did not disappoint! I LOVED the berry jam with the salted vanilla ice cream. And the pie crust chunks, perfection. For our second scoop we got the vegan hazelnut cookies and cream which was also very yummy. It had a coconut base, which honestly you couldn't really tell because there were so many mix ins. I'm not complaining though!

My son has been raving about Stella Jean's ice cream for awhile now and I finally got a chance to…read morego try it myself and it did not disappoint! I'm Filipino and was tickled to hear about the flavors...Ube Pandesal Toffee, Banana Turon Crunch & Mango Sticky Rice. We tried the Ube Pandesal Toffee and I'm quite amazed how they were able to capture that unique flavor. I grew up with making an "ice cream" sandwich by putting ice cream in a pandesal and tasting this just unleashed a core memory of being young and making an ice cream sandwich that way. We will definitely be back to try the other flavors! When we arrived there was a few people in line and when the line grew a bit, I think it was a manager that stopped what he was doing to jump in and help with customers which I thought was very considerate of him to do. Lastly, the location was charming and tucked away in the corner of the plaza. It had a few tables outside and in the adjacent Pop Pie shop to sit for a few minutes to enjoy the ice cream! It's nice to support a small businesses that cater to the community! Good luck to the Stella Jean family...wishing you success! I'll be back for my Turon & sticky rice!

I've had shake shack before when I was in New York City, and was pleasantly surprised when I saw…read moreone open up in Costa Mesa. They do have them where I'm at in Las Vegas, but I have yet to visit any of those establishments. I was super hungry and thought I want to go try that rib sandwich. Place is easy to find right off 17th Street. You really can't miss it with that big sign. And the building is definitely unique as well so you shouldn't have any problem finding it Inside you can either choose to go digital and and skip talking to a real person. I'm old school, I actually like engaging with people. So I went to the counter. I ordered the rib sandwich without looking, and was a little shocked by the total. The sandwich itself is 15 bucks, I ordered a small fry which was $4.50, and a small drink which was $4. With a 15% tip my total came out to $28. Definitely a little shell-shocked by that. Now let's talk about the sandwich. It came to the table and at first glance it looked very small. When I picked it up there was a very generous portion of rib meat inside like a big chunk of rib meat. Huge pickles and a lot of sauce. It was a great sandwich. Do not get me wrong, what I ordered again? Maybe. They don't really have a meal deal that includes fries and a drink so it's sort of all a la carte. Now let's talk about the taste. The fries were perfectly cooked, and the sandwich itself was a solid 10. That being said, I would definitely feel more comfortable paying $12 for this sandwich, as I think 15 is a little exuberant. And you don't really get that many fries for $4.50. I can't imagine what the meal deal would have been, but I'm sure people would absolutely balk at that price. I would have given it a five-star review, but that is way too much for that sandwich. As delicious as it was, I just don't feel right spending that much for a sandwich. If it could be reworked, and the price dropped down I would be all in in a heartbeat. Bottom line? If you've been wanting to try it, I say go ahead. Just be warned that you could be unpleasantly surprised unless you know what the prices are you're getting into.

first and foremost, I want to say the staff here is incredibly awesome! As soon as I walked in,…read moremostly all the stuff greeted me. They were so kind! The restaurant is well lit and extremely clean. I ordered a cheeseburger, fries, and cheese on the side. I also ordered a puppy patty with no salt for my dog. Oh also, I ordered a vanilla milkshake because my coworker told me to order one and it was really good! The wait time was pretty average. About 5 to 8 minutes or so. They were kind of busy with in person and online orders I believe. I did not mind waiting. Naturally, I was starving so I kind of wolfed down the whole meal in like less than five minutes lol. Again staff was so nice and they checked in on me as I was eating my meal. everything about this location was amazing and the food here was great. I'll definitely come by again!

Cauldron is amazing!…read more Used to enjoy the San Diego location frequently but they went out of business a few years ago. Was in the area this evening after a kids event and grabbed some Cauldron. Still fantastic! Made fresh, super creamy and delicious! My wife got the Puffle with Milk & Cereal flavor, enjoyed it a ton. Kids and I all got mint chocolate chip, VERY creamy with big chunks of chocolate. Wish we had one closer to home! Highly recommend.

From the ads and pictures everything seemed cool. The way they make ice cream is unique and I'll…read moregive it that. So let's get to it. We ordered three things; mint chocolate chip, rose, and milk and cereal. All with a bubble waffle cone. The service was disappointing, the guy who worked there seemed like he didn't care and it was just another job. No life to him and was just rude about asking the code for the bathroom. The mint and chip is basic. Nothing too much about it. My kids like it, so I got it. Average 3/5. The rose ice cream tasted like a rose, it was pretty good and very floral. The disappointing part is I was hoping the ice cream would be shaped like a rose as depicted on the picture. Nope, just a scoop and left it as is. 5/5 for taste and 0/5 for presentation. The milk and cereal one was actually pretty good. Especially with Frosted Flakes in it. It literally taste like cereal. 5/5. I would give it a higher star if the service complimented it and th presentation of the rose ice cream did.

We placed our order on the kiosk iPad, and within minutes, our four orders were ready! And it was just one person working! Very impressive. There's a bit of an island where people can hang out and eat their dessert and the inside was clean. It's definitely a nice spot to grab a sweet treat after lunch or dinner, or if you just want ice cream, this is the place to be! Lots of eateries in this shopping center. Parking can sometimes be tricky because it's a busy eating place but everyone comes and goes, so it moves pretty quick!

I'm personally used to the funnel cakes from fairs and amusement parks that tend to be super crunchy and hard to break into sometimes from being fried too long. But this one.... SOFT. Fresh to order of course. Super easy to tear apart and scoop up the strawberries and whipped cream. I loved the texture, and the strawberries weren't too sweet at all. I think it's such a great sweet treat to have when in HB. There's also other goodies like cookies, brownies and drinks. Customer service was fast, standard, nothing else. & pricing is very fair. They have a small floating side table to eat off of, otherwise you'd eat this outside. It's pretty cramped inside. Parking is on main or in the close by parking garages. No restroom. Tiny lil thang.

It's pretty straight forward when it comes to scoops in bowls or on a cone, add toppings, etc. or you can make it a sundae for an extra $1.50 (don't quote me on the price, but it's not much). The guy behind the counter was helpful and patient since it was my first time; he let me try 2 flavors and a knew exactly what my pick would be. What I liked about Afters was that while I got 2 scoops, it didn't have to be the same flavor! I didn't buy any, but you can grab pints to go and there is a fridge with drinks and such. There is no inside seating, but the outside area is okay, kinda sticky, but that's to be expected. My only complaint, and it's not just with Afters, but I wish there were actual dairy free options of ice cream...sherbet and sorbet isn't ice cream, ya know?

Extremely disappointing experience! The two employees working tonight clearly couldn't have cared…read moreless about customer service. It was blatantly obvious that neither one wanted to be there. Thanks for the $12 chocolate milkshake that was basically chocolate milk! Thin, watery, and nothing resembling an actual milkshake. Then there were the two skimpy scoops of ice cream served in a cup and stuffed into a bubble-wrap plastic bag as if I were shipping it across the country! To top it off, the flavor selection was extremely limited. For these ridiculous prices, you'd expect decent portions, a proper milkshake, and employees who actually care about their customers. **Complete waste of money! Overpriced, underwhelming, and definitely not worth a return visit.**

Absolutely LOVE this place!…read more They have more flavors than any frozen yogurt shop I know, and I especially appreciate the huge selection of no-sugar-added options. There truly is something for everyone. The owner is incredibly attentive and clearly takes pride in the business. The staff is always friendly, welcoming, and genuinely sweet. The topping bar is amazing, with endless choices to customize your yogurt exactly how you like it. And if that isn't enough, they also have a candy-by-the-pound section that is hard to resist. Great flavors, great variety, and great people. This is one of those places we find ourselves coming back to again and again!

I will say this, they definitely have a lot of toppings so you definitely have so many choices, you definitely want to come back more than one time. Bottom line? Of all the places that I've seen on 17th Street for a great cup of frozen yogurt America's cup definitely has it going on. I would highly recommend this place and I will be back again!
