Waaaaaay BETTER than Sugar and Spice! Too Sweet / Tutti Fruity uses real chocolate as opposed to Sugar and spices non dairy milk chocolate? We drove 40 minutes and made the mistake of getting our frozen bananas at sugar n spice but were disappointed in their milk chocolate. Super thin and no chocolate taste. Stopped in at Tutti Fruity / Too Sweet to see what their chocolate covered frozen bananas were and HANDS DOWN! AMAZING! Thicker chocolate and the chocolate actually tastes like delicious chocolate! Next time... Too Sweet for frozen bananas for us!! read more

The caramel apples here are sooo good! The cheesecake one is definitely my favorite, the apple was super crisp and everything went so well together. The girl at the counter was also really friendly and seemed genuinely happy to help. Really good service and I'll definitely be coming back! read more

It's a rip off ! Before you get your yogurt, check the prices. We paid $28.55 for 2 medium cups. See Mike B's comments of August 17, 2025 The yogurt was good but not at that price. As for the service, she was pleasant but only collected our money read more

this dark chocolate peanut butter cup was quite divine! so many chocolate options. the peanut butter was natural, creamy, and the perfect level of sweetness to match the chocolate. lots of benches around to enjoy treats from Too Sweet. read more

We are staying on balboa for a month and theyre treats were deliciousness absolutely loved the oreo bark and balboa bars were amazing with real ice cream unlike Sugar n spice. Do not make the mistake of going there. Employees were friendly and gave me a sample of one of their toffee crunch candy. They have a good variety of toppings and candy so I would trust them w my life read more

Cute stop in Newport Beach. Loved walking along the shops & stopping here for a sweet treat. It was dead on a Monday night so no wait. Service was friendly. The only thing I'll note are that were tiny gnats all around the topping area for the frozen yogurt. The cookie dough was very stuck together too and some of them did not look appetizing. read more

Amazing!!! We stopped during a post dinner meander and were drawn in by the wide selection. Despite being full from our meal, we were intrigued by the dark chocolate peanut butter cup since Reese's are our favorite candy. After eating it, I realized that while it didn't resemble a Reese's cup much but was fantastic in its own way. This might be my favorite dark chocolate as it is so rich in flavor and didn't feel "grainy" at all with sugar, and the peanut butter also felt wholesome; yet the treat was perfectly sweet! If I had to change something, I would add more peanut butter, but the treat overall was large and shareable. read more

Service was great; no complaints with the young gentleman helping us. We got the almond caramel apple, Oreo bark (I think that's what it's called), and the toffee. They tasted old. The toffee, almonds, and even the Oreo were stale. The Oreo bark didn't even taste like Oreo. Such a disappointing place that's pretty expensive as well. read more

Too Sweet - Don't get this. Too hard and stale - Desserts Near Me - Newport Beach, California

We've been getting Balboa Bars at "Sugar 'n Spice" for decades .. but have been so disappointed in their switch to a bigger but lower quality ice cream bar. Sounds silly but those original square bars were so creamy and good .. it was like losing an old friend. So today we walked a few doors over and tried "Too Sweet". Their Balboa Bars were wonderful .. dipped in rich, real chocolate and generously covered in our chosen toppings. Square bars. Friendly service. And NO line! A win in every way!!! read more

Visitors can't leave Balboa Island without trying a frozen banana or Balboa bar. I opted for the frozen banana covered in chocolate, rainbow sprinkles and toasted almonds. It was a nice afternoon treat with the most of sweetness coming from the banana. There was a long line at another store and Too Sweet was quicker and did not disappoint. I also purchased six truffles which was reasonably priced. The chocolates were excellent. The shop is clean and bright. read more

This place is a sleeper people don't know what they're missing. read more

Too bad for too sweet. Carmel apples tiny. Fudge was mushy and just ok. Wanted to enjoy this place on the island but disappointed.

This place has the BEST Balboa bars on the island, HANDS DOWN. I know it's nostalgic to go to Dad's for Balboa bars, but let me tell you. Once you come to Too Sweet, you'll never want to eat anyone else's's Balboa Bars. The quality of the chocolate is soooo good!!! It's creamy, rich & delicious. The bittersweet chocolate beautifully coats the vanilla ice cream bar & you can select different toppings to cover your bar: toffee, various nuts, sprinkles, coconut & much more. I will travel 30 minutes to eat Balboa bars from here, no joke. I'm slightly lactose, but the vanilla ice cream doesn't do any damage. (It would honestly be worth it.) They also have chocolate covered bananas & an assortment of other chocolatey treats! The other half of the building is Tuti Fruti froyo, so in case you're not into chocolate. You've got froyo. They just need to advertise their quality more. Remind customers why they're better. & people are lazy nowadays, maybe deliver? Y'all have such amazing potential! I love this place. I look forward to eating my nostalgic Balboa bar after dinner every time I visit the island. read more

This is hands down one of the best chocolate places I've been to. We wanted to order more chocolates but decided to be good since we had plans for dinner in a few hours. Both of the chocolates we got were really good and surprisingly not super decadent or sweet. I would definitely come back here in a heartbeat! I regret not taking some home with me. read more

Was on Balboa Island and felt the need to complete my day with a classic Balboa Bar! I've had them at the two other popular places that seem to always have a line, so I was thrilled to come across Too Sweet! Dipped in the best tasting chocolate and rolled in big chucks of toffee and nuts, this was seriously far superior then the tourist driven places a few blocks down the street! As I sat on a park bench out front, enjoying my sinfully delicious ice cream, I made sure to tell curious people walking by, not to go any farther in search of the best Balboa Beach Bar ever! Definitely my new "go to" establishment to satisfy my sweet tooth! I will be back soon! read more

Good quality yogurt walk-in and friendly service. Grab a cup and fill it yourself - surprising how many self-serve yogurt places don't understand the COVID science - projecting what's safe and safer - do I want somebody getting my yogurt for me? NO read more

****Chicolate Dipped, Toffee Encrusted, Rainbow Sprinkled Frozen Banana!**** Banana Row is a block or two of shops serving up Chocolate dipped frozen bananas. This shop is a bit different in that they also are a yogurt and a chocolate shop. The shop is split in two. One side is yogurt and the other has a large chocolate and candy display. Behind the counter is where the prize sits...chocolate dipped, toffee encrusted, and sprinkle laden frozen banana! ~Chocolate Dipped, Toffee & Sprinkle Banana- 4 Stars! The frozen bananas are ripe and dipped in a quality chocolate. The toppings include sprinkles and toffee. The chocolate is good. The rainbow sprinkles have a nice flavor. The toffee is the show stopper. Excellent quality and taste, the toffee was an excellent choice with the chocolate dipped banana. I did a 50/50 combo with the rainbow sprinkles. The shop also sells chocolate and this may explain the quality toppings. I also got a giant Oreo. While there are many choices for the frozen banana, this one is my favorite. I am a fan! Too Sweet, Newport Beach...another reason the OC is the best place to live! read more

First time trying a famous Balboa Island frozen banana! There were many other chocolate goodies but we wanted to keep it traditional. What also caught my eye was the jar of turtle gummies...they looked super cute as their shells were different colored. I will have to try those next time and see how they compare to other gummy snacks I have had (mostly gummy worms). Back to the banana, I liked how there were options on the toppings. My husband chose the almonds and his brother chose the peanuts. I tried both and they were equally satisfying. The frozen banana came out to about 4 bucks but it was plenty for one person. In fact, my husband and I shared a banana and it was enough to satisfy my craving. The location is in the heart of the Balboa shopping strip and there are tables and benches right outside so you can sit and enjoy your dessert. For all you froyo fans out there, this location was attached to a self-serve frozen yogurt spot so you have plenty of dessert options! Will definitely be back. There was another banana stand next to this shop but there was always a long line so I will probably just go back here again since I'm not sure how much better the banana can get. Parking is difficult, thought, so be sure to prepare for that! We got lucky this time, someone was leaving a spot right when we drove by. Good luck! read more

Too Sweet - Loving the gummy turtles! - Desserts Near Me - Newport Beach, California

We came in 10 minutes before closing and didn't feel rushed at all by the nice guy behind the counter who helped us. Extra star for the service! These are on the pricy size and a bit too sweet for me. The chocolate coating and sweet toffee/Oreo toppings on really sweet vanilla ice cream was too much SWEET for my taste buds and had me grabbing for my Perrier. My youngest got the frozen yogurt next door that is also part of the ice cream/ chocolate shop and we were all jealous of his lighter and less sweet flavors. He ate it all when he usually just eats the yogurt coated candy which means it's good! We also tried the milk chocolate espresso truffles and the graham cracker milk chocolate covered cookies, they were delicious! We will be back for the chocolate! Another star for the chocolate! read more

After three years of "abusing" Too Sweet, I had to write a little something about my experience. As a Sales Manager I want to once in a while take care of my sales staff. So, during business meetings I'll style the team out with some great unique treats that Too Sweet offers! The presentation of the treats will make the recipients day. The staff is extremely professional, friendly, and will go the extra mile to make sure you're happy with your treats!! read more

Yum! Had my first balboa bar here, after reading that theirs was the best with the best quality chocolate. I also read from that same review that elsewhere close by has balboa bars that taste like styrofoam, ouch haha. So we went here! Highly recommend the toffee + peanut mixture (you get two topping choices) or the toffee + brown sugar cinnamon. Such a good experience. read more

We visited this adorable place last weekend and oh my gosh. Everything from the customer service, to the shop itself, to the amazing selection was fantastic! By far the best chocolate and caramel we have ever had! All made in house, and you can tell!! Highly recommend the Balboa Bar, the candy apples, and the peanut butter cups! But everything we tried was WOW!!! We'll be back for sure!! read more

When we lived in Issaquah, WA in the 80's, every year at the Salmon Days festival a candy shop down the freeway would sell ice cream bars, dipped in chocolate and rolled in nuts. They were not only amazing but the smell and taste would linger in my minds for weeks. When Costco opened up in the state of Washington, they served "fast food" and treats and these same ice cream bars. It was always a big treat when I would get one of these wonderful ice cream bars after shopping. But sadly, they disappeared ;( When we were in Newport Beach, California we learned that this delectable treat was called Balboa Bars. On a recent trip while visiting Newport Coast, we took a day trip to Balboa Island and discovered them. There were many vendors but we selected the candy shop, "Too Sweet" to purchase our Balboa Bars. Just as I thought, it was amazing!!! That familiar taste had me salivating and enjoying every single bite. I'm yearning for one of those bars, just as I write this. If anyone from Costco is reading this, PLEASE BRING BACK THE BALBOA BAR (at least in the Sacramento area)! I felt the price range was inexpensive for the size of the bar, the quality of chocolate that it's dipped in and then rolled in the nuts. It was worth every penny!!! read more

A girlfriend of mine swears that Too Sweet is the best place to get a frozen banana or ice cream bar on Balboa Island - because they have the best chocolate! We passed a couple other places as we walked here from the free parking lot, and when we walked in it was like food porn: Chocolates Rice Krispy Treats Rice Krispy Treats on pretzel rods Chocolate covered bananas with multiple toppings Big chocolate dipped ice cream bar with multiple toppings Caramel corn Multiple flavors of fudge Chocolate covered red licorice And so much more! I got a small frozen banana, and chose Blue Cheesecake Cookie Crumbs from the list of possible toppings (Peanuts, almonds, English Toffee & Almonds, Oreos, Coconut, Rainbow Sprinkles, Chocolate Sprinkles) and the guy dipped my banana in front of us. The blueberry crumbs reminded me of the crumbs on an old fashioned Strawberry Shortcake ice cream bar that I grew up eating - yummy! I'm glad I live far from here, because otherwise I'd come here too often and my ass would look WAY different : P. read more

Yummy for the frozen banana! If you're walking down Marine Ave., you'll notice quite a few places offering Frozen Bananas and Balboa Bars. However, I believe this one stands out from the others because they are also chocolatiers and offer high quality chocolate to dip your banana or bar! They also offer many toppings and you can choose 2 per item. The taste of the chocolate was definitely rich! read more

We wanted ice cream, and the island was very busy for Mother's Day. I wandered into this lovely air conditioned shop and we ordered the balboa bar and a couple chocolates. Everything was so good! Seriously delish chocolate, and it's 10x better than than the spots we usually hit up. Quality yummy chocolate in every form for the win! read more

I stopped by Too Sweet for a little dessert after dinner. I saw they had hand dipped milk chocolate covered strawberries, but I'm not a milk chocolate fan. I asked if he had any white chocolate ones. The very friendly employee offered to freshly dip some for me while I wait a few minutes. I told him I only wanted one and he replied that it was no problem. He got right to it and started melting the white chocolate. While we waited for the coating to set on my strawberry, I order a couple other things. I asked to get a few pieces of milk chocolate honeycomb and dark chocolate dipped orange peel for my mom. I gave her the candy a few days later. She loved the orange peel, but said that honeycomb had started to get a little stale. Back to my dipped strawberry. It was worth waiting for. Super yummy. They offer all kinds of sweets from truffles to custom ordered frozen bananas and ice cream bars. The store is also adjoined to a Tutti Frutti frozen yogurt shop. I definitely recommend stopping by for your sweet fix while you're on Balboa Island. read more

Best frozen bananas and candy in town! On cheat days I like to indulge and love the chocolate dipped bananas and apples. You could say it's a little healthier then eating an entire candy bar because it's fruit . If I want something a little lighter the store is split into two, one side is too sweet the other side is Tutti-frutti which has frozen yogurt. So delicious! Great friendly staff. read more
