I forgot the flavors i had here but it was both good. The gelato was creamy and not too sweet. They have a variety of different flavors that all looks good, so definitely have to come back to try. The only downside that it's extremely small for what you're paying for. But regardless, worth to try it at least once
Nice gelato and chocolate spot in South Coast Plaza. I hadn't been to this spot before, but a too good to go bag made it worth the trip. There was a decent line when I arrived but it went relatively quick. Place was cute with a chocolate fountain screen and walls of chocolate right next to the South Coast Plaza carousel. Grabbed my bag of assorted mystery chocolate, which so far has been delicious, but decided to grab some gelato while I was there. It seemed a bit pricey at $12, but it's in South Coast Plaza, what do you expect? Got a small with a scoop of hazelnut and vanilla in a hazelnut crusted cup. Quite tasty. Overall a good experience and staff was nice and helpful amidst the chaos. Headed over the the fountain to eat since I would probably be yelled at if I ate on the carousel. Would stop by with friends next time, and I have enough chocolate to occupy me for a month. Solid spot.
First time trying and it was pretty yummy. The mango sorbet is refreshing and it paired really well with the raspberry chocolate cup. It was expensive but worth the sweet treat here and there!! They had lots of other good rich flavors too like dark chocolate. The line was pretty long, but it moved quickly. The employees were also really kind and accommodating, letting you try the flavors before finalizing. The space is nice and fancy. I loved that there's a case of chocolates on display, and I will have to go back to check out the chocolates next time.
Venchi is an excellent addition to South Coast Plaza! Both aesthetically pleasing to the eye and with yummy treats. We were shopping one day and walked past this store. Curious to see why the long line, we soon learned it is a new gelato place, but we didn't feel like waiting in line that day. We came back another day on a Thursday evening and there wasn't a line. A staff let us know we can sample a piece of chocolate. It was delicious! So we decided to grab a few pieces to come home with us. Not cheap, but worth every penny. We also popped over to the other side of the store for some gelato. They let you sample some flavors. I got the chocolate and pistachio. I love the texture. It reminds me of a rocky road. My sister and husband both got different flavors too and I got to tried theirs. All were good! We would definitely come back for the gelato when we're at the mall shopping.
We saw a longgggggggg line out the door and decided to stand in it. They had the logistics thought out where you pick the cup size and pay at door before heading over to the fridge. But trick is you can just walk to middle of the store to purchase some chocolates then slide over to the gelato line bypassing the 30 people in front of you. Anything pistachio is super yummy here. They're on the sweeter side though. We went with the baby cup and the portion came out to be adult size lol. As far as chocolates go we still think Laderach ftw.
How exciting to have this here in OC but more specifically in south coast plaza. Located on the first floor on the corner next to the elevator and near the carousel. Gelato is so amazing. Brings me back to Italy. Pistachio is always a must but today when I tried baciodidama... also life changing lol. *always had a spread inside your cup or cone*
Definitely one of the better gelato places in OC! I do like Bacio di Latte at the Irvine Spectrum more, but this place is right there! I like that you order first then you can try samples before choosing. This does help keep the line moving. Don't get discouraged seeing long lines, it's all the people trying samples (I'm guilty of this). All the flavors were super creamy and flavorful! Favorite was the pistachio! Would recommend trying all the flavors, they were all pretty good, it was tough to choose!
LOVE IT! The gelato is pricey but the quality and taste makes it so worth it. It was about $15 with tip for a Medium with 2 flavors (pistachio & a hazelnut) and a hazelnut rim on the cup It's my favorite place for pistachio
This place was delicious! We were looking for a treat after dinner and stopped in for gelato & gourmet chocolate. I got dark chocolate & chocolate cream bites that were AMAZING. My family got different kinds of gelato with chocolate chip bases and loved it! The atmosphere was so fun with the chocolate fountain and all the different chocolate bites to choose from. The staff was super kind and took their time with each customer rather than rushing us even with a longer line making it feel more experiential.
Okay, this is my new favorite chocolate shop at SCP! We stopped by on a Friday afternoon and it wasn't super busy. I was obsessed with the ambiance and interior. It was so beautiful! As for customer service, Vincent was sooo helpful and friendly! I'm super lactose intolerant and can't have any milk chocolate, and he was so helpful in showing me all of the vegan / plant based / non-dairy options! I ended up getting a few of his suggestions and they were all delicious. You can pick different chocolates and pay based on weight, which is nice. I didn't try the ice cream, because it seems like you have to commit to purchasing before sampling, which was interesting, but maybe next time. Can't wait to go back!
While I'm not a gelato fan, I do enjoy great chocolate. Did I get that? Absolutely!! Their variety of solid and filled chocolates (including "white" chocolate) is amazing. I prefer the solid, so I picked out a variety of wrapped squares. Warning: it's $58.00 per pound ($3.63/oz, which works out to around $1.25 per square. The 100% cacao, 77% cacao, 47% cacao and the raspberry were my choices. There's a reason they put sugar in chocolate, as the 100% was super bitter, with the 77% a bit less so. The 47% was most pleasant to me, not as super sweet as a Hershey Kiss but nicely balanced. The raspberry was in a different category, but it was very, very good! This is not going to be the kind of chocolate you can eat every day, but for a special occasion or treat, it's great!
Ooo if you want to give yourself and your wallet a break, touch down here for some gelato. Venchi is located in the South Coast Plaza. When I was there, the line was okay. It was about 4-5 people in front of us but the line moved slow! There were so many delicious flavors and I went with stracciatella. This is good especially upgrading it to gourment. The extra chocolate spread and peanut crunch is so good. It will definitely hit your sweet cravings.
Although Baccio still holds as my favorite gelato spot in OC, Venchi offers an array of rich and dark chocolate flavors along with a chocolate shop all in one! Out of the flavors I tried, my favorite was the mango! Don't get deterred by the long lines since it moves quick! They also have a system where you choose your cup size and pay before you can sample and pick your flavors, so the line moves quick!

Not gonna lie, that mango flavor was off the charts. Matcha is also a banger, I think the work dude said it's seasonal. The other two I got were vanilla and that popular chocolate chip one, I think it's the closest to like a cookies and cream. Pretty decent spot Would go back to try the rest but definitely recommend the mango sorbet thing. read more

Delicious gelato and chocolate shop that generally has a line for the gelato on weekends but I stopped by today and there was no wait at all. I tried two samples of the gelatos (both creamy and satisfying) and also was able to pick any piece of chocolate to sample. I decided to try their new Chocoviar 75% dark and it was so yummy with 3 textures of high quality 75% dark chocolate in one piece. The store feels welcoming and colorful, as do the store associates. Fall packaging just came out with brightly colored orange boxes in time for Halloween or general fall gifting. read more

I am obsessed with anything ice cream, gelato or yogurt. While shopping at South Coast Plaza, I couldn't help but notice the almost Disneyland ride like line waiting to get served at Venchi. I kid you not, the line forms around the corner of the store. So when in Rome I decided to wait for gelato. What did stand out was the variety of flavors and the chocolates. My husband and I decided to get the Gourmet option. You pick between spread, Hazelnut Milk Or Hazelnut Dark chocolate, choice of grains and we added the cookie as a topping. The gelato was good but ai was a little underwhelmed considering we waited 20 minutes in line. Gelato 4/5 Service 4/5 Ambiance 4/5 read more
Venchi is a premium Italian chocolatier with tons of appetizing chocolate; however, the line around the store is for their gelatos and sorbetto, which are delicious. My wife and I shared stracciatella and cappuccino gelatos and we bought a few of their chocolate truffles. If you have a nut allergy, then this is probably not the place for you, as many of their premium gelatos and chocolates have nuts. Cost for truffles are upwards of $15 for a quarter pound. Prices are high; however, the quality is undeniable. Aside from gelato and chocolate, you could also get chocolate and nut pastes (such as hazelnut cream and the pistachio cream that you need for Dubai Chocolates). They have lots of classy, stocking-stuffer gift ideas if you want chocolate that's an upgrade from Sees. If you want chocolate, note that you don't need to wait in the long line outside of the store. You also may be able to order gelato along with your order of chocolate. On a hot day, I definitely would love their fruit sorbets. It's a good addition to South Coast Plaza and it's a good place to check out if you want something sweet after a meal. read more

Went to try out this new Gelato shop in South Coast after browsing the Cartier boutique. Heard some good things about it so we had to see the what's the hype. When you enter in, you can see that cool chocolate fountain with their signature logo, lots of candy and chocolate barks on display and their selection of various flavors of gelato. Seating is pretty tight and limited. The lady who served us was very patient and let us sample multiple flavors. I ended up getting Tiramisu and NOUGATINE and my girl got their famous Green Pistachio. Flavor profile was good and it came with this small toasted bread. Wasn't too sweet, just right. Two regular cups was like $17 total. Pretty expensive for the portion, but quality was pretty good. TBH though, I prefer Baccio di Latte in Newport! read more

Hands down the BEST pistachio gelato I've ever had! The pistachio gelato (solid 10/10) was creamy, nutty and had actual real pistachio pieces inside. Wasn't overly sweet either, which is a winner for me. I got the one flavor option and the staff packed the gelato in so well! It was definitely worth the price point. Comes with a complimentary piece of chocolate on top. Staff was super nice and allowed you to try the flavors before purchasing. This is located inside South Coast Plaza and seems to always have a line. Suggest going on weekdays when crowds are less crazy. read more

Went in here with my mom and niece today at noon. I am visiting from the East Coast and wanted to get some cold gelato for the family because it was so hot. This woman did not greet us or the customers BEFORE US so they left and we waited and kept looking at her but nothing, she made contact and still nothing. I understand you were restocking but her not acknowledgment the couple before us that they left is bad. And no acknowledgment to us new customers still waiting is horrible. A "hello I will be there in a minute" would have been very understandable. We ended up leaving and she saw us walk away and still did not SAY A WORD. HORRIBLE ON HER BEHALF. Check the cameras staff incase she has an excuse. She saw us wait and look around like idiots. My personal experience, I am sad we didn't get to try the gelato and mor for the lack of customer service my family and I received. read more
The amount of times I CRAVE Venchi gelato because it is just so delicious is ridiculous. I love coming to Venchi's and getting their gelato + trying their chocolates. All their gelato is fresh and flavorful. It's so creamy and I don't feel gross or overstuffed after eating it. The store itself is a little small and can get packed super quickly. The gelato price is a little more expensive. I got the regular so I can choose two flavors and it was a little more than $8.00 if you want the chocolate coating on the cup and fillings that's an additional cost. I think the gelato is delicious as is that it doesn't need all the extras. read more
The store is sooo gorgeous. Half is a candy shop and the other half is a gelataria. The staff is super friendly and I loved that you could pick the flavor of the chocolate sample yourself! My mom and I shared a small sized scoop of the Bacio di Dama - such a great hazelnut flavor with an incredible creamy texture :) Would definitely come here again to try other flavors. So good! read more

One of the best chocolate and gelato places I've ever been to! It is expensive, but everything is so worth it. The chocolate is so rich but also not too sweet. The pistachio gelato tastes like real pistachio, and the texture is perfect. Everyone working in the store is super nice. Love the bright lights and beautiful decorations in the store. This place is a must-try if you're in South Coast Plaza! read more

First time here! There was a wait time to order ice cream, which was nice. I went with the two-scoop option and chose mango and raspberry; both were delicious. The service was pretty good, and I appreciated being able to sample a few gelato flavors. It was a little busy, so ordering felt a little rushed, but overall the experience was positive. I also really liked the décor--it feels very intentional and thoughtfully put together. I was excited to see they sell chocolate bark, but I had already picked some up at Läderach beforehand. Otherwise, I definitely would have tried it here. I will definitely return to try. read more
I tried Venchi for the first time ever back in 2024 when they opened a location at the Westfield Valley Fair Mall in Santa Clara, CA. Was pleasantly surprised to find that a location finally opened closer to me in Orange County AND that there was virtually no line. I think we waited at least an hour and half at for the other location, so I was so relieved that not only were we in and out of their line, but we even had places to sit inside!!!! The bar is in hell, lolol. What we ordered: - small-sized gelato with Pistachio Kunafa Delight flavor plus chocolate caramelized hazelnut spread - regular-sized gelato with Tiramisu and Baciodidama flavors plus regular chocolate hazelnut spread (this was my order) I wish my friend got the green pistachio from bronte flavor because the regular sized cup only came with two flavors, but he's a clout chaser and wanted their Dubai chocolate-inspired gelato, lmaoooo. It was good, don't get me wrong. I just feel like you gotta pay respects to the OGs (pure pistachio). I also don't think us adding the chocolate spread to our cup was the best idea either. It was a big back option we had to try, and it will definitely be a one time thing. Made the dessert 10x more sweet than necessary, but to each their own. read more

I love venchi!! We first had venchi over in Italy and so when I heard venchi was coming to south coast plaza, I was super excited! They have really good chocolates and gelato. My favorite is the mango gelato and cremino. Cremino has hazelnut if you're a huge hazelnut lover. This location is pretty busy and there's always a line, but they're very fast and efficient. They are so organized. I've been here a hand full of times and it never disappoints. They have a rewards program now! You get discounts and specials deals. Highly recommend for dessert! read more
Loved Venchi in Italy so it was natural I wanted to check this place out since they opened at my favorite shopping plaza. I came here on Valentine's day with one other person for a sweet treat. The line was pleasantly not too long but people were confused. They have a line for gelato getters and those just shopping can just enter. For those getting gelato they take your order before entering. You choose your size and dip and you pick your flavor once you are in. While you are in you can sample. I was annoyed at the Asian guy working behind the counter because I asked for one sample and pointed at it. He gave me a sample of something totally off. He scooped a random gelato that was way far from what I pointed at. Everyone working there was also not friendly and unpleasant. I know they are dealing with high volume but it seemed like they all hated their job and didn't want to help anyone but just quickly get through. Gelato also wasn't as good as I remembered. The two flavors I got was runny and consistency wasn't better than any other gelato places I've been to locally. They also ran out of some flavors. Sadly not worth the wait in line. Maybe once the hype has died down and the workers are more pleasant I'll be back. Not sure if I'd be back for their actual chocolate since there are other chocolate options in the plaza. read more
Lines are always crazy here when I come to shop at South Coast. Saw a shorter line and took my chance! Heard lots of great things about this place and even standing in line! I had to get the regular size to try 2 flavors! They're super nice and let you try all the flavors you want. The chocolate is super rice and creamy. You can really taste the quality! Had to get the Cremino and I had to get the pistachio but all are so good! I'm definitely coming back to try more flavors and also so many choices for chocolate pieces. Must try next time also! They had a few tables inside to enjoy but always super packed so good luck! read more
never heard of this but since it was inside the mall, I knew it'd be fancy so I had to try. I got pistachio and some cookies and cream flavor. both were good but were they so good that I'd would come back and pay over $7 for small cup of ice cream? probably not. ice cream isn't cheap these days but for $7, many places will give twice the amount that I got from here. read more

Love that southcoast finally got a gelato spot. Lines are pretty long. Giving it 4 stars due to lack of efficiency to manage large crowds. At times the staff member who was helping me with samples would end up serving another customer and it was a bit chaotic. Outside of that, it's a good spot if you enjoy have chocolate in your cup vs a cone. Loved the pistachio flavor. Outside of gelato there were cute options for customized chocolate boxes. Looks like a great gift idea. read more

Y'all this was about to be a 4 maybe 5 star review after my first visit but I just went back tonight and had a pretty subpar experience. The first time I came in there was no line for the gelato or the chocolate and the sales staff told us that if there ever is a line in the future for the gelato, we can skip it if we come in to buy chocolates. Okay! Love a pro tip. And I get chocolate. Win-win. Or so I thought. Cut to tonight, there's a loooong line of folks waiting to sample the gelato (and it is delicious btw, I had a scoop of the Baciodidama last time and omg). I bypass the queue, ready to employ my trick of heading straight to the chocolate counter. The staff says someone will be with me shortly and I head over the start perusing. A few minutes later, no one has come over (and, it's a small store, there's not that much to peruse). I wait a full 20 minutes before I'm finally able to checkout. It honestly would have been faster to just get in the gelato line. I hope they figure things out here because 5 people scooping and no one at the chocolate counter is just not working. Chocolate is solid, honestly. I might come back if there's no line. read more
This place I believe is fairly new and extremely cool and fun. My friend actually picked out several things and we had a nice little grab bag of chocolates and a caramel gelato. They have a sign up like near where a menu would be and its flowing chocolate and they had a wonderful guy helping everyone around the chocolate area. It was quite an experience. We walked around South Coast Plaza eating chocolates at noon. It was very fun, very tasty and rich. We will definitely be going back. I am so Martha i forgot to take photos of our chocolate pieces, but I did sneak a few photo of this cool shop and one video. Check it out and bring your chocolate appetite. read more
I literally shed a tear when I saw Venchi open up at South Coast. I ate Venchi 1-3x a day in Italy and have missed it sooooo much. The gelato is truly supreme. Their chocolate is heavenly. Their service is top tier. Gelato- 100/10. So rich, creamy, and delicious. They have great rich flavors that are amazing. On this trip, we got matcha (SO GOOD) and caramel. All were amazing. We also paid the $2.50 to line the inside of the cup with chocolate&chocolate chips, which made it even better. Store- They literally have a chocolate water fountain as their sign. It's so cool. The windows are nicely decorated, the wall paper is pretty, and there's plenty of seating inside. It's very clean and beautiful inside. It's also right by the carousel and in the center of the main area. Service- everyone is so sweet and helpful. They were kind in offering samples and helping us with our order. Extras- We went at 4pm on a Monday and there was no line and plenty of seating. I've seen the line wrap around on weekends. Depending on when you go, it can be pretty busy, but honestly so worth it! read more
Visited Venchi on a weekday, to avoid the long line. They have three different sizes - baby ($7.45 for one flavor), regular ($8.25 - up to two flavors) and large ($9.45 - up to three flavors). I wanted a couple of flavors and ordered the regular, which is on the pricey side. Unfortunately they do not offer cones. Got the Chocoviar and the Cremino. The Chocoviar is very chocolatey and not as sweet. Enjoyed my gelato at one of their tables inside the shop. They also sell chocolates, which are expensive. I already blew my budget on gelato, so I didn't buy any chocolates. Maybe next time! read more
Cute boutique gelatoria. With Italian music playing in the background and the bright and lovely decor, one can't help but feel antsy to eat gelato! There are a few fruity flavors like strawberry, raspberry, lemon, and mango. I opted for a cup of cappuccino and tiramisu/matcha blend. All of it was so good. Not just because I was in the mood for it, but the flavors were strong without tasting chemically. The texture of the gelato was so smooth and creamy. The tiramisu has bits of chocolate with a light mascarpone flavor. The matcha tasted perfect- not too sweet or earthy. The cappuccino was delicious and the right blend of espresso flavor without making the coffee flavor overpowering. I didn't get a chance to try the chocolates but will plan for another trip to purchase these perfectly wrapped, handmade artisanal chocolates from Italy. read more
Absolutely love the interior design of this place. Super artistic, trending, vibey, and just aesthetically on point. This is located in South Coast Mall so plenty of parking inside. The staff were super friendly and hep provided recommendations when needed. Haven't tried the chocolates but tried the following gelato flavors: - Matcha & Vanilla - Hazelnut & Cappuccino All the flavors were good! Definitely can taste the earthy matcha flavor and I think my next favorite would be the hazelnut. Would want you to come back again to try more flavors and the chocolate! read more
Stopped by Venchi while walking through South Coast Plaza and decided to grab a quick gelato. This place definitely leans upscale candy shop meets gourmet gelato bar. The interior is fun--there's a huge wall of chocolate behind the counter that immediately catches your eye and gives the whole place a cool Beverly Hills, Willy, Wonka atmosphere. I ordered a regular 2 scoop cup with caramel and peanut butter gelato. The texture was creamy with good flavor, and overall it was solid. That said, I had just come back from Italy earlier this year, where the gelato was on another level, so the bar in my head might be a little unfairly high right now. Still good--just not quite the wow factor I experienced overseas. I'd give it about 3 out of 5 stars. One thing I noticed: the milkshakes looked amazing, but I didn't try one this time. Might have to go that route on the next visit. Overall, it's a fun stop if you're already at the mall and craving something sweet. Not destination gelato for me, but definitely a convenient and enjoyable treat while shopping. read more
