So yummy and adorable. Kids & husband enjoy it so much!…read more I was able to get a coffee because ice cream is a bit too heavy for my tummy. The girls were amazing a bit busy not a long wait time.

I was excited to try this, but they only have 2 flavors, neither was what I wanted. I went back when they did have the Matcha flavor and got that, but it was just ok and disappointed my hopes. Atmosphere- it's like a little K-pop mart, with games and bright blue lights, if you have kids, make sure to bring some money for the games, they will want to play them. Overall, I'll skip this place in the future.

LOVE this place! So…read moremany unique flavors and the last night's dozen deal is unbeatable. The hours are great so I can get treats at a reasonable hour (slightly later than I would hope for my diet). I haven't gone in person yet and usually order online through DoorDash so I won't comment on service or atmosphere. But the cookies are pretty huge and I get more than my values worth with the last nights dozen order. Would def get this again for friends + family... or for an indulgent tv binge

On our way down to Carlsbad, we made a pitstop in this neighborhood. This led us to this cookie…read moreshop and what a treat this place was. We ordered a handful of cookies, but my favorite had to be the white chocolate macadamia. In my opinion, you can honestly never go wrong. They also have different flavored milk too, which is a bonus to enjoy with your cookies. A lot of families were here with their littles ones as well.

Really disappointing experience. I waited over 10 minutes in the drive-thru while multiple people…read morewho walked up to the other window were assisted first. There was no communication -- I was just left waiting and repeatedly pushed off. I stayed patient, but when I asked if there was any way to compensate for the long wait, the staff laughed. That response alone made the experience worse and felt very unprofessional. I understand places can be understaffed, but customers shouldn't be ignored or made to feel like their time doesn't matter. Service and organization here need serious improvement.

I had the best looking sandwich at the picnic…read more I visited Kona Loa Coffee last weekend while on the way to my monthly book club picnic. Nothing screams picnic quite like an iced latte and panini pairing. I ordered the chicken pesto panini, apple chai kombucha, and a mushroom iced latte. This latte did loads for my social meter. Giving me the extra pep to talk all things books. The sandwich was stacked with thick pieces of avocado, jalapeños, and sliced chicken. A very filling meal that definitely caught everyone's eye. Would love to return and explore more of their food menu.

Stayed in Irvine overnight and was looking for a breakfast spot before hitting the road. Decided…read moreto check out Kona Loa due to their coffee choices. So glad we did. Inside is very cozy. There's also some seating outside as well. We love Portuguese sausage and was glad they had that as a protein option. Staff was very helpful when we asked for suggestions. We ordered the Kim chee burrito with Portuguese sausage and a breakfast burrito with Portuguese sausage. We also got the Island coffee (coconut flavored) and Spanish coffee (condensed milk and cinnamon). Both drinks were amazing. We also really liked the Kim chee burrito. One bite and my husband and I wish we ordered 2. It went so well with the sour cream. The service was very fast as well. This is a must try if you are in the area! Wish I had pictures but we enjoyed it so much it was gone.

Had a rough week and something sweet seemed to be the answer.. never tried this sort of ice cream…read morebefore and the flavors sounded amazing so we gave it a try... Highly recommend trying this place! Service is fantastic.. the shop is spotless and clean.. light and bright. Don't miss ordering churros to share with your desert. The little cup with 2 flavors is plenty but if you have a hearty appetite you can go bigger. Less sugar and more flavorful than any other places we have tried.

I discovered I LOVE Helados and I didn't even know it existed until we happened to walk past Pampas…read moreHelados Argentines in Aliso Viejo. On a last minute decision to eat out for dinner, we took a stroll afterwards. It was probably 15 minutes before closing time and we saw this brightly lit, blue and white shop with a small cooler cart and umbrella outside near the front window and large wall art of Lionel Messi, the soccer player, inside. Being a soccer family ourselves, we asked if it was too late to come in and we were given the warmest smiles and were waved in and I'm so glad we stopped and asked. This delightful dessert spot has so much to offer that had it been a warm and crowded evening, I would have felt pressure to choose because there were so many yummy looking options it was REALLY hard to decide. They are more than happy to provide tasting samples and I think that made my decision even harder because they were all fabulous! Since we let them know this was our first time in their shop, the young server said we needed to have it served with their filled churro tucked into the side, to experience the "full effect" of Helados and although it isn't something I would add every visit, it was a fun addition to the "newbie" experience! Prices are so reasonable considering the quality of product, the portion size, and the overall charm of the place, I was actually expecting our bill to be much higher. This place is one of the best hidden gems I've found in our area! As they say on their website, it isn't ice cream, it isn't gelato, it's HELADOS! And you have to give it a try!

Would recommend this place if you're looking for yogurt drinks! I ordered the purple rice yogurt…read moredrink. It's not too sweet (which is perfect for me) and I really like the chew from the purple rice. I also love that there were so many different menu options. The interior of the store is very cute.

The hard part was choosing which item to get. My wife and I settled on the honeydew parfait and it's exactly what we wanted. Perfect flavor in every bite. You can tell my the high level of customer service and honesty that the same level of dedication is placed towards the preparation of the food. Although we only tried the desserts we noticed the hot food menu with chicken wings and kabobs, etc. and we are definitely coming back for some. There's even a cool arcade machine and board game cabinet to hang out with friends. Business owner said there are no customers here, only family- and it's very true

Pretty cool how their ice cream just keeps churning, hence the name. Flavor combinations are good…read more Pick a flavor & then choose your toppings. Their signature Cro-cream which is basically an ice cream sandwich but in a croissant. Few tables & chairs inside to enjoy your ice cream. Not sure if we came on an off night but they didn't have much available. We got their salted butter caramel & the dutch chocolate. Good flavors, more on the softer side. Ice cream cakes & shakes available.

They seem to not stick to even their posted hours which is forgivable as things happen. But they keep their "open" signs lit up as if they are open. They also keep their signs outside as if ... again open... later I looked at reviews and found this is common for them. If I were the owner I'd be worried. Big waste of time.

I have been eyeing these big puffy English muffins for the longest time. I was making a trip back…read morefrom Carlsbad and decides to pick some up on the way home. Scratch Bakery Cafe is located in a big plaza with Trader Joe. There are many people outside sitting and eating. You order up front and pay before getting a table. Right when you walk in, there are tons of bags filled with English Muffins, however, they are called Manna buns for trademark reasons. The Manna buns come in plain, sesame, and everything seasonings. I ended up going with plain. The bun is super yummy. I made eggs and avocado sandwich with the bun and couldn't wait to eat them every day. They are pretty big, so I only eat half. They also sell bakery items. I got an oatmeal chocolate chip cookies that was delicious and a Banana's Foster Knock Knock. I absolutely love this and so happy the lady suggested it. It was like an upgraded ding dong but like a banana nut cake and chocolate. Overall, if you're looking for English muffins or some sweet this is definitely your place to try.

Service? Not so much. Pretty sure I walked in between shifts because they straight-up forgot my order. Inside layout is confusing, like a café designed by someone who's only heard rumors about chairs. Outside seating is great though -- very SoCal. Fresh cannolis? Drum roll... absolutely not- at least not during this visit. If they had them, this would be a 5‑star review. I'm writing a letter to my ma about this injustice. I can't wait to come back and try more goodies.

It had the perfect level of crunch and flakiness to it while maintaining a consistent pistachio filling. Best part is that the pistachio wasn't overwhelming and did not overtake the whole croissant. The workers were nice and friendly and the experience overall was great! Will be coming back when I'm in the area.
