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.

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.

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!

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.

Beyond disappointing…read more I arrived at 7:35 AM, to pick up my carry-out order of 2 sourdough loaves, and 1 jalapeno cheese croissant. I paid about $24. The layout inside was not clearly marked for where to pick up orders, and the regular in-store purchase counter. Because of that, I went to the in store purchase counter. There was one woman ahead of me, politely waiting to be acknowledged by the surly, disinterested young woman behind the counter who appeared annoyed that she had to pause her task of stuffing baguettes into bags--WITHOUT GLOVES. The employee did not smile, did not engage with the older lady buying the bag of coffee, and offered not a single welcome or pleasantry. At the same time, another young woman rushed behind the counter with a scowl on her face, didn't acknowledge me at all, clocked in, looked up at me waiting there, and then turned heel and walked away. The first young woman, whose hands had just been on finished bread, were now on the dirty POS screen and the older woman's payment card. At no point did I see her wash or sanitize her hands. When the transaction ahead of me concluded the surly young simply asked "Can I help you?" DMV employees have more warmth and personality. I responded that I had an order to pick up and gave her my name. She responded with, "You have to go over there," and pointed behind her. That was it. No "thank you," no "have a nice day." The second counter was no better. I stood at the pick up counter for a minute before being acknowledged me. It was long enough that a middle aged woman approached and asked if I'd been helped yet. Again, no smile, no greeting, not a single indication that this employee was grateful for my business. He also asked, with the same lack of humanity, "Can I help you?" I repeated that I was there to pick up my order and gave him my name. He seemed utterly bewildered, lacked any sense of urgency, and apparently couldn't find my name in his computer. He simply stated with a dead-pan monotone, "I gotta check on something." He went back to an unattended shelf that I didn't see or even know was there but was accessible by anyone. He brought my order out and handed it to me, and again I received no thank you, "have a good day," or any other effort toward making my patronage there seem appreciated. The loaves look fine, but the way they packed my croissant in the bag was such that it was on its side between the two heavier loaves and the sturdy paper bag. Of course these means that I pulled out a deflated, completely flat croissant with the filling mostly outside of the pastry. I can't say that this is because of the squishing, however, because the cheese was cooked and solid--just outside the croissant. The flavor was good, but after the first few bites where the filling had all come out of one side, the rest of the croissant had no filling, was super flat, and seemed unusually greasy. This sort of thing would never happen at Moulin. Between the horrible service, the insanely high prices, and the 7-11-level quality of the pastries, I'd recommend that you just go into the Sprouts right there and get something from them. Those employees are always happy/friendly, the value is there, and the quality is superior. Or better yet, go to Moulin where real, French-speaking men and women expertly practice their craft of exquisite artisan baking. Chaupain is a terrible, unsuccessful imitation.

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.

Handel's has the best thing going in the ice cream game. They have the most delicious ice cream and…read moreeven though they are a big chain, their ice cream continues to taste homemade and never mass produced. I love their huge variety of flavors and rotating new flavors. I'm not gonna lie, it's more expensive than running to the grocery store and grabbing an off brand half gallon but you taste the difference. Some of our favorite flavors over the years include Sticky Fingers, Peanut Butter and Jelly, Black Raspberry Chunk, Chocolate Peanut Butter Ripple and Raspberry Sheetcake. Love their sampler option of four flavors too because there are just so many flavors to choose from. Most Handel's locations are committed to hiring teenagers and helping give them their first working experience. This location is always filled with teenage workers and they do a great job and keep the line moving fast. Plenty of parking as well and a clean and nice facility. Check out the picnic benches out front if you want to eat your ice cream before you leave.

My absolute favorite flavor combination is the chocolate and vanilla with Oreo -- it's rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced. We almost always order the 4-scoop sampler, which is such a great deal. I love that you get to try four different flavors at once, so we can mix our favorites with something new each time. It's the perfect way to share and discover new flavors. If you're an ice cream lover, this place is definitely worth visiting. Great flavors, great portions, and it's the kind of place you'll keep coming back to -- just like I do.

WHY DOES THIS BAKERY HAVE A 4.5+ RATING?…read more This is our first visit. Clearly the pastries are a very high level of quality and french cuisine. We had breakfast - an omelette, some bacon and lamb sausage, potatoes, and a cappuccino. we also had some pastries. All excellently prepared. We're going to try something else besides the omelette next time...it was OK but not "out of the park" so we'll try something else next week. Service - after we ordered at the counter our food was delivered to the table which are all located outside on a well-shaded patio. We always split our dishes - my wife and I can't eat an entire plate of food. It's not "table service" - they don't come back and check you or help with water or drinks, etc. Whatever you want you must return to the counter. But service at the counter is very friendly and helpful. The ambiance is an outdoor cafe....noisy neighbors, wind when it blows, dogs, all the regular stuff - good seating and umbrellas with some areas naturally shaded...lots of tables relative to the size of the shop. Very friendly staff. Why do my reviews get over 1,000 views every time we visit a new place? We don't know but it seems consistent. We feature very critical reviews - we rate high but include serious critiques. Maybe that's it.
