“Pink rose ice cream for the win!!!“

“Delicious ice cream and best red bean paste! We can’t wait to go back!“

“Very good ice cream. Lots of flavors to choose from“

“We had a darling ice cream and it was nice. My kid really wanted strawberry ice cream. I didn’t notice that they had a strawberry flavor until after I received our order. One of the staff members noticed that my son was hoping for strawberry(even though we didn’t talked in English!!) and kindly offered to add strawberry sauce on top.

My son was so happy and satisfied! I really appreciate how kind and thoughtful the staff were. There were two staff members working, and both of them were incredibly nice and helpful.“

“The best gelato, arguably better than some of the places I tried in Italy—and I’ve traveled there many times. It’s so good! Yes it’s expensive, and the line gets crazy long on the weekends. Get the 3 chocolates and pistachio. The best flavors in my opinion.“

“Handle’s has some of the best ice cream in Irvine! Every flavor we’ve tried has been delicious, and the staff is always welcoming and friendly.

I also want to thank Handle’s for supporting our local schools and giving back to the community. It’s always wonderful to see local businesses invest in the families they serve. Communities are stronger when we support one another, and Handle’s is a great example of that.

Highly recommend stopping by if you’re looking for amazing ice cream and outstanding customer service!“

“You guys were absolutely awesome today and I appreciate the safety protocol up in the restaurant due to Covid and the mask policy! I will definitely come back again! Fabulous food and service! ❤“

“The best ice cream in Los Angeles!!!“

“I love this place! They have fresh fruit to add to your yogurt! And I love that I can build my own small cup of goodness!!!“

“Visited Remicone ice cream shop, cute place! I tried the berry special, which was very fresh, not syrupy. The milk ice cream base was smooth and clean while the strawberry glaze added just the right amount of sweetness. The crumble and meringue were perfect toppings. Customer service was great. Definitely will visit again!“

“So yummy and the workers are so nice!“

“I LOVE THIS PLACE! I have been looking for a place that does flavors like this. i love the traditional purple rice in dessert combo ! reminds me of vietnamese che with da ua (vietnamese yogurt). recommend for those who want to try yogurt drinks besides yakult. tastes like menchies natural tart flavor.“

“Delicious ice cream and best red bean paste! We can’t wait to go back!“

“Great service, very clean and organized“

“I’ve been seeing Dr. Wang for many years. The office is always clean, the staff is friendly, and the doctors are knowledgeable and professional. They always listen carefully to my concerns and give me the right advice and treatment. I’m very happy with the care I’ve received and highly recommend Dr. Wang and his team.“

“I ordered two cream pans and let me say it doesn't disappoint. So if you love creamy custard filling folded into buttery bread that is made with TLC, then Hamada-Ya Bakery is the place to go. Now let's say you eat one and save the other for the next day, I suggest refrigerating it. Then when you want to eat it take it out of the fridge and let it sit until it's room temperature. Your taste buds are going to be very happy you did. ?“

“Best ice cream sandwich ever. The cookies are so good, and so many options. Highly recommended when you just want to treat yourself and others.“

“Haagen Dazs has always been on of my favorite ice cream brands and this is the first time visiting a store. They have lots of flavor options, and they are all delicious and creamy. The interior is open and clean, and the staff are friendly and helpful. They also have ice cream cakes available.“

“I tried their Salted Caramel and Taro flavors with lychees, kiwis, bananas, mango fruits. It was delicious. The combination of the fruits with the caramel and the taro frozen yogurts was to die for. I hope those flavors are around next weekend. I’m going again 🍦😳🍦“

“I had a great experience at Le Cafe du Parc! Olesya was very kind, friendly, and attentive. She recommended some desserts for me, and they were absolutely delicious! I really appreciated her great service and recommendations. Thank you for making my visit so enjoyable — I’ll definitely be coming back! ❤“

“I love this place. There's truely not another store like it. The place is incredibly clean and staff is the friendliest in the mall. Ill make sure I stop by more often and encourage others to do the same 😊

Most important. The food is great“

“Great Gelato 🍧, and pastries 🥮!“

“I love Cold Stone! I’ve been coming here a lot recently since discovering this location. The staff is very friendly, and I especially want to give a shoutout to Lacey. She is incredibly kind and always remembers my order, so I never have to repeat myself or worry about being disappointed. She’s also so sweet and welcoming to my little ones.Sometimes other employees don’t offer samples when my kids want to try flavors, but Lacey is always patient and happy to let us sample different options. It really makes a difference.Overall, the location is very clean, although it can get quite busy on weekends. Great job to all the workers—keep up the good work!“

“This has become one of my favorite dessert spots in Irvine, especially on hot summer days!

I originally came for their Japanese shaved ice, and it did not disappoint. The ice is incredibly soft and refreshing, made with premium ice imported from Japan, and the fruit syrups are rich without being overly sweet. The shop itself has a clean, modern design with a unique, upscale vibe.

The biggest surprise was finding Los Angeles Fruit inside the store! I used to drive to the San Gabriel Valley whenever I wanted their premium fruit, so having it available so close to home is amazing.

The fruit quality is outstanding. Everything comes from their own farms, and you can really taste the difference. I bought a box of peaches, and they carefully inspected every single one before packing it for me. The peaches were incredibly juicy, fragrant, and reminded me of the peaches I grew up eating. Sweet, refreshing, and full of natural flavor.

I also tried the Greek yogurt fruit bowl and the fresh fruit cup. The yogurt was creamy and paired perfectly with the fresh fruit, making it a healthy and refreshing treat. The fruit cup was beautifully prepared with a great variety of premium fruit—even pink blueberries, which I’d never seen before!

If you’re looking for high-quality shaved ice, fresh fruit, or just a refreshing summer treat, I highly recommend stopping by. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Came here because I heard of the peanut colab and I wanted to check it out. We ended up getting the blended chocolate matcha and the dragon fruit yuzu tea. The match was really good, with the chocolate tasting like hazelnut. The tea was refreshing and had a good fruity taste to it. Would definitely come back to try other items.“

“This is the 2nd beard papas I have been to and the cream puffs are always a delight to enjoy. They are the perfect size for a sweet treat after a meal and come in different flavors. This location is located inside of Mochi, and operate from the same counter so you can order something from either store.“

“I'm from HB and there's nothing like it......“

“I have lunch here about three times a week. I get a large Glow-Getter smoothie and have them add pea protein. It's very filling! I order it on the app and take it back to work. The smoothies and bowls are delicious and have good ingredients that you can select for yourself. I've never been a healthy eater, but I'm sold on these.

Since I order in the app my order is always waiting for me by the time I get to the store. And the staff is always friendly :)

I marked down the atmosphere down one star. They have a few nice seating areas inside the store. They are always clean, but the noise from the blenders can be distracting. There is also plenty of shaded seating outside, but lately it's been too hot to sit outside :(“

“So I went in to Nekter in hopes of getting the delicious Graviola Bowl. I was told they were discontinued. NOOOO!!! They said they still had the ingredients to make me one though. I was SOOOOO happy!!! LOVE THIS PLACE!!! BRING BACK THE GRAVIOLA BOWL NEKTER!!!“

“Quail Hill location is one of the best! Friendly staff, store always clean, mobile orders made right and ready when you arrive. My favorite lunch spot for something quick, fruity, healthy and delicious!“

“I came in last night. The experience was fun! There was a young high school girl with redish hair and she was so friendly and kept the vibe going. Everyone in line seemed to love her service and she kept it going with every customer she got. The ice cream was soo good and not melted right away this time. I would recommend this place.“

“Kiosk was super easy to use. My young elementary aged child was able to read and navigate the menu with ease! The food was prepared quickly and arrived hot. Super delicious and every bite savory! Anabel checked on us and had a prize bucket of great small toys for my child. This was a great highlight too! Thank you for the wonderful experience :)“

“Vanilla Charcoal Skoop with banana! It's amazing! Plus employees are super nice and helpful!“
