    Ice cream nachos!
    Leah W.

    Stumbled upon the sweet smell of fresh waffle cones today and this place was so YUM! we got the ice cream Nachos, yes please!! Two flavors, it was like 3 scoops of each, with lots of waffle cones pieces, whipped cream, sprinkles and asked for hot FUDGE instead of the syrup. Ellanie was our dessert barista and she couldn't have been "sweeter". I asked a ton a questions about everything and she was very helpful, even with recommendations. We also got caramel apples for $5!!!! Our nachos were only $9, all their stuff at Disneyland would be $2k. This place is a sweet deal for being in a tourist spot. And the store is super cute too :) Will def be back for more!

    Great ice cream with cookies and cream flavor. Tons of toppings to pick from and reasonable pricing. It gets very packed and wild in here though and they had a few drunks inside when I was visiting.

    It's a nice place to come get some ice cream after walking the boardwalk. I got rocky road and it was pretty good! Maybe not having the chocolate chunks in it & adding more marshmallows instead would make it 10x better. There was a line out the door but the staff were quick. Cone was $9.70 which seems a bit pricey but understandable since it is at Belmont.

    We kept seeing everyone with ice cream at the beach and had to get some ourselves. The workers let each person sample 3 flavors so be mindful of your choices. We went with the Kookie Monstah and the Strawberry Cheesecake flavors. For a group of 5, two scoops was more than enough ice cream for all of us. Both flavors were delicious. It cost about $12 before tip so definitely a bit pricy but again the portion sizes are great. The place itself is very cute and the exterior is cute enough to take nice pictures against. Would definitely return!

    Very bad customer service, they don't help when you ask for it. The waffle was broken and I asked her to change it and she said they all the same!!!

    My husband and I had visited the beach for 2 days and checked the night On-The-Go fair park. The place is so long in business because the ice cream is delicious! Reasonable price, the scoop is huge. $almost 6. The service is nice! Check there if you take a vacation there.

    It was my families first time. We love ice cream so we had to try it! My dad had a cup of pistachio almond, my nephew had chocolate and I had cookies 'n cream. We had walked in at the right moment, along with ten or more people behind us. The ice cream shoppe is small, it felt very crowded, I'm glad service was fast and friendly. They offer a Yelp Check in offer discount! Prices were decent for the ice cream, I was pleasantly surprised for the amount of ice cream served. Portions can be HUGE! You can get a monster waffle cone, monster waffle bowl, ice cream bowls or a kids cup! They have 16 flavors, several toppings to choose from such as gummy bears or Oreos. They also sell souvenir cups, rootbeer floats, cotton candy, cookies, fudge and other sweet snacks! The ice cream was delicious! This is definitely the place to stop for ice cream, we will return next time to try other flavors!

    A nice assortment of flavors to choose from. Just your average ice cream! Located in the center of Belmont park. As a local, it's an obvious tourist trap, but a nice treat if you want to take a stroll in the area. I got the animal cookie flavor.

    For mine I got strawberry cheesecake ice cream in a cookie sandwich. The lady was really nice that served us and we came at the perfect time since it was a small line that became busy after we went. It's a very cute shop with also Cotten candy.

    Butter pecan and birthday cake ice creams on monster waffle bowl

    Walked in and it smelled fantastic inside. I Ordered single scoop monster waffle bowl and it was huge. But then I saw a girl enjoying the birthday cake flavor on her cone and asked if it was too late to add a scoop for $2. They said "no problem but we'll have to put it in another bowl cuz it won't fit on yours!" I later stuck it on top anyway. Thank God I live down the street and was able to stick the leftovers in the freezer haha. Sooo much ice cream...

    This place is a must every time we're in San Diego. An extra large ice cream cone followed by a walk by the beach has become a family tradition. These cones are HUGE! I don't think there's anyway someone can finish one by themselves without any help, so if you have kids, I would highly recommend asking for extra cups and spoons to share or you will be left with a huge mess. I speak from experience. Lines are kinda long due to covid and the shop is small but well worth the wait. Ice cream served is Thrifty and the cones are made on the spot. Highly recommend if at Mission beach

I sampled chocolate from Peru, Madagascar, and Kenya, and they all had unique fruity characteristics. Because they're vegan, so they use oat milk for their chocolate instead of dairy.

They are family owned and they only add chocolate, sugar, and oat milk to make their bars. Overall, this was a fun place to check out at Little Italy, and they also had a stall at the Farmer's Market.

For example, some other specialty bakeries/shops are charging similar prices for cakes and cheesecakes that are much simpler. In comparison, Extraordinary Dessert cakes take 3-4 days to make, have 6-8 alternating layers, and are typically adorned with edible gold and/or flowers. The key is to find which items you like and which are okay to pass on next time. What we ried this time: -Match Misu Cake (7/10): ricotta cake layers soaked in matcha and layered with marscapone whipped cream. This one was pretty good and ranks in my middle to high range. I only wish there was more matcha flavor (maybe if you dine in and get the sauce, this would help) or the matcha was paired with another flavor ... either go fruity (maybe a raspberry sauce, strawberry pieces, white peach pieces, or like a peach oolong cream layer) or go chocolately/coffee (maybe had some crushed up chocolate covered espresso beans). My go to's: -Ivoire Royale (10/10) - my ultimate favorite still. If you like light desserts, white chocolate, berries, and moist vanilla cake, thus one is for you. Classy and unpretentious -Shangrila (10/10) - my other favorite and will make you feel like a princess with all the pink chocolate curls. A little bit adventurous and innocently elegant. Ones to skip: -Au Chocolate / La Bete Noire / Dame Chocolate - get the Viking instead. That's my favorite of all their chocolate cakes -Lemon ricotta - get the Passionfruit Ricotta instead -Torta misu - the matcha misu is better. The tortilla misuse made me want a regular piece of tirmaisu than a cake version -Coconut cream - not bad, not amazing though

We politely asked if it would be possible to purchase a small cup of fruit , even just a couple strawberries cut up, because one child in our group cannot have sweets due to very strict dietary restrictions . Instead of simply saying they were unable to accommodate the request or offering another option, we were told to "go somewhere else," despite already spending the amount we did . The complete lack of professionalism and basic customer service was honestly shocking. It's disappointing to be treated that way at a place we have supported so consistently.
