ORANGE COUNTY CREAMERY @ SAN CLEMENTE This spot is located in downtown San Clemente. My boyfriend and I were just walking by after parking on the street nearby. Most of the street parking is free, some spots are two hours while others are only 20 minutes, so definitely pay attention to the signs. Parking can be a little difficult, but once you see someone leave, you can usually grab a spot pretty quickly. We honestly didn't have too much trouble finding parking, it just depends on timing and luck. There aren't really seats inside, but they do have one big table outside. Overall, downtown San Clemente is super walkable, and there are plenty of benches nearby where you can sit and enjoy your ice cream while walking around. My boyfriend and I tried a bunch of their flavors, and my personal favorite was the mint chocolate chip. The chocolate flakes inside were so delicious and had the perfect texture. My boyfriend got the chocolate coffee flavor, which he really liked too. We each got one scoop, and it came out to around $4-5 each. Overall, everything was delicious. It feels like a small hidden gem, and I would definitely come back. The ice cream was super good, and the service was great too.
Orange County Creamery is a small ice cream shop in downtown San Clemente offering fresh scoops in a convenient grab-and-go setting. Pros: This spot is simple, easy, and right in the middle of the main San Clemente strip, so it's convenient if you're already walking around the area. It's more of a quick stop than a sit-down dessert place, which fits the location well. The ice cream was really good and tasted fresh. I got the coffee chocolate scoop and my girlfriend got the mint chocolate chip, and both were solid. They also offered samples, which made it easy to decide before ordering. The service was friendly and efficient, and everything moved quickly even when there were a few people in line. Cons: Parking is the main issue here. It's all street parking with a mix of short-term (15 minutes) and longer (2 hours) spots, so you have to be careful and quick. It can also take a bit of driving around the main road to find an open spot, especially during busy hours. Verdict: Good stop if you're in downtown San Clemente and want a quick ice cream option. Solid quality, fast service, and convenient location, but parking can be difficult.
Very tasty and some unique ice cream in a kind of gelato serving fashion. I had the chocolate coffee and the chocolate coconut while my wife had the banana nutella. Chocolate coffee had everything you would expect it to be with little shavings of rich chocolate mixed in with cocoa ice cream while the chocolate coconut was very creamy and nutty with a chocolate finish. But the favorite was the banana Nutella. Perfectly ripe aromatic bananas with just the right hand of Nutella mixed in with a vanilla bean ice cream. I really should have just ate my wives beside my own. Haha! But maybe I'll just order my own next time.
This place is located around Dana Point. The ambiance is like any other ice cream place. The service is good. The ice cream is not too bad, it gives gelato texture. J was expecting to be wow. Out of all flavors I tried, the Banana Nutella Crunch stood out to me the most.
Shop was very clean! Staff was very kind and quick to serve! Ice cream was delicious and smooth! Will be coming back!
Ice Cream? Wonderful. Super creamy, and flavors were delicious. I tried a double scoop of Tiramisu/Oreo. Both were great but Oreo was my favorite. The young lady serving us was very friendly and very quick. Overall, a great environment and a great experience.
This little ice cream shop is a "must visit" if you are in (or near) Dana Point. It's in a row of shops known as, oddly enough, "The Row" and parking is on the roof. Take stairs or elevator to get down to the shops. This ice cream shop has a couple tables inside and several out on a covered patio area. They had about 14 flavors available on my visit. I was welcomed and offered tastes but I just jumped in and got two scoops in a cup of the two flavors that stood out for me - coffee chocolate and peanut butter chip. I also grabbed an ICB root beer from their fridge. I sat inside and enjoyed my ice cream. Both were creamy with vibrant flavors. The coffee had a deep coffee flavor with tiny bits of chocolate throughout and the peanut butter had a vivid peanut butter flavor with small chips of chocolate scattered throughout. Both were excellent! I really liked the small town feel of the place and also enjoyed the music they were playing in the shop. Definitely a place for ice cream lovers to patronize in south OC.
Orange County Creamery is located in Dana Point. The ice creams are so fresh and creamy, and remind me of Handel's. If I am in the area, I will definitely drop by here to try new flavors. The cashier was very nice and sweet, and allowed us to sample different flavors. I tried the taro, cherry swirl, guava and papaya, and they were all very good. They all taste real, especially the guava and papaya sorbet, which was very refreshing. I got a double scoop of the Lavender and Cherry Swirl on a cone, and a single scoop of their Peanut Butter Chip. The cone was fresh and crunchy, and not stale. I always like to get my ice cream with a cone, but a lot of places have stale ones so it is nice to know everything here is extremely fresh. You can choose between a regular cone, waffle bowl, or gluten-free/ vegan cone for just $1 more. The lavender was super creamy and had a nice, strong lavender flavor and scent. The cherry swirl was nice and balanced, with a little tartness, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The ice cream was so good, I got another scoop of their Peanut Butter Chip. It was extremely creamy and had a nice, strong peanut butter flavor, with a hint of chocolate chip shavings. I liked that the chocolate was not overpowering the peanut butter flavor. I will definitely be back to try out more ice cream flavors. There are a few restaurants and a bakery in The Row too so be sure to check them out. Apizza Doho is a few doors down, and you can swing by Orange County Creamery after for dessert... or you can go get ice cream after going to the beach nearby. Happy eating!
Orange County Creamery has some delicious flavors of ice cream and sorbet. I love the coffee chocolate ice cream, taro, and lemon sorbet! I also enjoy that they have a limited edition or featured ice cream too! They have lots of topping options and even offer gluten free cones if you like. The shop itself is really cute and they have a nice outdoor patio space as well. I highly recommend checking them out!
Really good ice cream! Smooth and creamy. A couple of things: it's a little expensive, and I didn't get a lot of ice cream in my sundae. Also, this place is located in Dana Point but called Orange County Creamery. Does this mean they claim the entire county even though they only have one location in Dana Point? Still not clear why this is the Orange County Creamery. Nice friendly staff and tables outside to enjoy your ice cream.
We came to this shop for a late afternoon treat. Lots of flavors to choose. The milkshake with three different scoops topped with real whip cream was enjoyed by a milkshake lover. I was satisfied by the refreshing flavor of a scoop of mint chocolate chip. Service was quick on a quiet Friday at 5 PM. Easy to find seating indoors or outside.
YUMMY ICE CREAM SPOT they have fun flavors like nutella banana bread, taro, lavender, chocolate cherry swirl and more! They r creamy and scoops are generous! They do melt fast so I suggest getting a cup on the side staffs are friendly and the owner is nice, there are seats inside and out, very spacious Parking is to the right of the plaza, but not a lot so might need to park by road read more
Cute ice cream shop in Dana Point! They had 4 vegan/dairy-free options available, 1 coconut milk based, and 3 sorbets. The staff was very friendly and let me take my time deciding what flavor to get. I ended up ordering 1 scoop of the watermelon sorbet, and it was sweet and fresh! Perfect for the end of a beach day. They had both indoor and outdoor dining tables available for customers. Limited parking, but you can walk to it from the beach! read more

Visited this location with my family to check out the vegan options after having lunch a few doors down. We were immediately greeted and were able to sample a few of their vegan flavors. I settled for the PB chip which was creamy and tasty. I was excited for a flavor that wasn't a sorbet and was actually creamy. My kids enjoyed their vegan ice cream too! read more

We stopped for ice cream at the end of the day. Parking is in the back, good for the shopping center. There's some seating inside which is nice. The people working are nice. We were able to try lots of their various flavors, they had some good interesting ones! Only reason for 4 stars is the toppings were subpar. The cookie dough was gross and so small! Otherwise, there wasn't anything too special about the place, but it was good. read more
This simply delicious ice cream. Although they had a number of interesting flavors, I tried the plain chocolate. I think the test of good ice cream is how good their chocolate (or vanilla) tastes. This place did not disappoint. If you're in or near Dana Point, then this place is worth the stop. Next time I will try some other options, but that chocolate really hit the spot. read more

Great selection of flavors and they allow tasting which makes it easier to choose. They had a limited edition chocolate with orange crunch flavor.. yummy.. it should be on the menu at all times! Cherry swirl and chocolate mint were the other two we really loved. Chocolate coffee also tasted good but since I cannot do coffee so I didn't get it... do try it for me read more

This is one of the best ice cream parlors in Orange County! In particular, the service was good, and I loved the cherry chocolate chip flavor. The shop itself was clean, as was the restroom, and there was decent parking on the street. read more
We were looking for something sweet and wandered into Orange County Creamery. There was a good amount of flavors to choose from. The girl helping us was very sweet and helpful ! The only drawback is there is only one person helping so the line goes by really slow and it can drag if someone is trying a lot of flavors. Overall , the ice cream was good there is some inside seating and a cute wall to take photos. Would definitely come back and try this place again! read more
I stopped into the Orange County creamery after eating at vibe. Vibe collaborated with a flavor here. I did not try the collab flavor as I'm not a fan of vibe's banana bread, I went with the seasonal Pumpkin on a house made waffle cone. It was pretty good. The place is bright and clean and the employee was welcoming and helpful. I recommend trying it, if you're looking for some clean ice cream or sorbet. read more

Been here a couple times and have always enjoyed the delicious fresh ice cream here. You can park on the street or park up above and behind, however, avoid busy times, or parking can be difficult. I love that you can sample the ice cream. The staff are always friendly here and willing to give you a taste. The prices here are reasonable. My fiancé and I shared a 3 scooper this time, of peanut butter chip, Oreo chocolate, and caramel pretzel. All so good. We will be back. read more
