    Was craving for some sweet and this place is infront therefore went in and check it out. Cute small shop with both inside and outside seating area. Clean well organized and with funny and picturesque paintings on the wall for selfie. Plenty of favors to choice from, they do have ice cream, sandwiches, snacks and ice cream bar to choose from. Great friendly service. The ice cream is fantastic and very tasty. Prices wise, not bad but not too expensive either. Great place for sweet craving for sure. Yum!

    Super yummy spot! I was looking for dessert after dinner and found this on Yelp. We walked over and were somewhat disappointed that it replaced this really good burger spot. We stepped in and had really no expectations. It's super cute in here! Nice little wall art. We were greeted by kind women behind the ice cream freezer. This place has a little bit of everything! Paletas, bionicos and really good, unique ice cream flavors. I tried their mocha which is a coffee with Oreos and YUM! I also really liked the tres leches which had actual pieces of cake in it. I look forward to coming back and checking out other items!

    Chocolate abuelita ice cream
    Stephanie M.

    The chocolate abuelita ice cream was the exact flavor of the real chocolate abuelita you drink. It was creamy, not too sweet, and their scoops are big. They had so many popsicle options that I didnt get to try, but will definitely try next time. I also saw they had chocolate covered bananas and chamoy covered gummies. They have a nice outdoor patio to sit at if you dont want to sit inside.

    Massive two scoops. Abuelita on top.

    Was taking my team for ice cream on the other side of the circle and noticed this shop finally opened and serendipitously we got to be one of the first to visit and try out their ice cream. There are lots and lots of flavors and options. Cups, cones, bars. So many flavors it was an overload. I settled on the a pelota and the mixer berries. Both tasty and rich, was hard to finish both scoops so brought half back to the office. Super friendly staff, very agreeable and welcoming. Service with a smile. Small shop with outdoor seating in a shaded by trees patio to the side. Modern and cheerful interiors. If you're near old time, come check this new addition to the circle. Happy it isn't yet another coffee shop. Now the office has a new afternoon spot for a sugar rush.

    Cappuccino and coconut
    Catherine C.

    Pretty nice place Interesting flavors, but not a lot Not much seating inside I got the coconut and cappuccino in a small cup. It was tasty. There were not many chocolate, caramel flavors. Service was decent. He seemed a bit tired and low energy. Sure, we will come back to try other flavors

    Probably the worst vibes in existence. We went on the soft opening and this guy (the owner?) was going on how they were giving away free stuff & told us we could try whatever. So I got the water based coconut bar & they ended up charging us for it! So weird. And it tasted nasty, literally just water & coconut chunks. And the chunks were way too big. Also very obvious AI art, so awful

    Went for a sweet snack and had a good time. Service was quick and the staff was very friendly. Definitely a solid place to go to if you're looking for some flavorful ice cream!

    Strawberries & Cream Ice Cream

    The Ice Cream Shack is just what the Circle of Orange needed. Fresh, handcrafted ice cream and paletas. There are so many options it's hard to decide what to try first. Must try!

    Mango shaved ice with chamoy

    I got the mango shaved ice and it was refreshing. Perfect for today's hot weather . My hushand got the strawberries and cream. They were delicious. The boy who served us was friendly and gave us samples of their ice cream. Good quality of product.

    Ice cream is flavorless and stale, the vibes are totally off too it just all feels so sterile, like you're in a hospital.

    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.

    What's not to like? They do it well…read more We got the 5 + 2 traditional pack and added a side of vanilla ice cream and chocolate dip. There are no complaints on my end. I loved every bit of it whether I ate it plain, as is, or with a dab of ice cream, with the hot and cold contrast. They were so good. The only thing I'll add is I wish they had more ways to wash your hands. There's 1 restroom for staff and customers so there can be a wait. One of the workers dropped a deuce and it took extra long to wait. Other than that it's a happening place and I'd gladly go back over and over again.

    I've had Don Churros before at their original truck in Anaheim near Disneyland, so when my friends…read moreand I were passing through Orange County, we wanted to support their brick-and-mortar location in Santa Ana. As expected, the service was great and the churros were absolutely delicious. They were fresh, flavorful, and you could really taste the authentic Mexican ingredients in every bite. The atmosphere was quiet when we visited, which made it easy to relax and enjoy our order. If you're in Santa Ana and craving some amazing churros, definitely stop by and support their new location. Their Anaheim truck is great too, but it's nice to see them expanding. Apparently, friendship sometimes means driving through Orange County in search of fried dough. Honestly, humanity has made worse decisions.
