Double Chocolate Chunk Ice Cream
Extra Waffle Cone

“This is a great local ice cream spot! They had many (at least 20) different ice cream flavors. After being informed their most popular flavors are something with Oreo, I ordered the Coffee Oreo and Birthday Cake ice creams (I ordered both in a small cup). No wonder Oreo is the most popular as both flavors were full of large Oreo chunks. The ice cream was flavorful and had a great coffee and cake flavor. Note they do not offer samples, but from what I saw, I’m not sure you could go wrong!“

“Looked up best burgers near Rancho Cucamonga and this came up. It got good reviews, so I thought I would give it a shot. Download the app, and you will get a free burger with purchase of personal fries, or a shake, not just a burger, ANY burger on the menu. Who does that! I ordered a cheeseburger, fries and a coffee shake. Nadia took my order, she was nice , pleasant. Got my order within 5 mins. Fries are home cut, fresh not frozen. Fantastic. Burger was awesome. Shake was good. Overall, just awesome. I would recommend. you wont be disappointed.“

“When people are lining up to get in, it's hard to guarantee the quality, when people are going to get tired of working like crazy from all the demand. BUT I must say, I can't complain with what I got. 붕어빵 was fresh, and the 팥 was nice and sweet. This totally made up for that mediocre dim sum a couple stalls down.“

“Don't let the address of the cafe fool you, while it says Spectrum and you may think it is a cafe in the Spectrum mall, it's just across in the nearby Parks apartment community. It is a really cute cafe with a European feel to it. I'm sure children will love it, as well as adults who crave Nutella anything. Their menu offers everything from coffee, hot chocolate, waffles, crepes, chocolate covered fruits and savory items like flat breads and a beef burger. Ordering was easy via a large iPad. The people working there were great too and were quick to give us recommendations and also tips on where to park the next time. Parking is available around the cafe and if that is full, you can park in the visitor spots inside the community's parking garage. On to the food, what can I say, how can anyone complain about Nutella? To mix things up, I ordered their crepe with half Nutella, half Biscoff and with strawberries. A very good decision, I must say. The Biscoff was definitely a good surprise. As if I didn't have enough Nutella, I went ahead and ordered the Nutella hot chocolate. It was interesting in a good way. I fully expected a hot chocolate with a hazelnut flavor, but there's actual Nutella in it. My husband ordered the chicken flatbread and liked it but he was swiping at my sweet treats more often than I liked. Overall, a good experience and I would definitely come back again when I am craving crepes.“

“I got the Nutella and Orange Blossom flavored ice cream . I preferred the Nutella over the Orange Blossom one it's probably because the Orange blossom flavor is too strong and I used to like the Orange Blossom flavor but not anymore. The ice cream was very heavy so be careful if you are a little bit lactose intolerant which I'm not but my mom is. Overall I like this place I just prefer the Nutella flavor ??.❤️“

My favorite bun is the Egg Donut - it's literally a marinated hard boiled egg inside a bun - SUPER GOOD.Their soft serve is also some of the best for the price - forget getting overpriced dessert in Irvine, get an awesome soft serve topped with Golden Grams for ~$5 here!“

Yogurtland Irvine Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt • $
4187 Campus Dr M172, Irvine

“I love this place! I have enjoyed the frozen yogurt from this location in Irvine (Close to UCI) for the past couple of years and have not been disappointed! Following a car accident, I began ordering it by delivery, which worked out so well I often still do! Even by delivery, the staff still takes the time to package it well and ensure the order is correct! In addition to the place itself and its yogurt, the staff is fantastic and very personable!! In fact, from my occasional phone calls asking if a specific flavor is available, I've found that more than one staff member literally knows who it is and greets me by name before I even have a chance to tell them! They even remember my usual order. This kind, personable attitude is something that is far from the norm in this day and age! Their consistent, kind demeanor reminds me of what things must have been like ages ago! Long before, so many acted entitled, too often treating the people serving them as if they were insignificant! Serving the public is a tough job, and when it's performed at this high level, I am incredibly impressed! I have to admit that while I don't have impossible or unrealistic expectations for any establishment, I do have relatively high expectations that need to be met before I feel comfortable writing glowing reviews that others may use when deciding where to go. That said, this place, its yogurt, its flavors, and its amazing staff far surpass those expectations! My sincerest thanks to all of you at the University Center Yogurtland for your hard work and simultaneous positive demeanor that, IMO, goes unrecognized far too often! (and BTW, thanks for the cute drawings on the bags I receive!! HaHa!).“

We also ordered taiyaki, with red bean, custard, and Nutella! The taiyaki was actually made of croissant and was super flaky and delicious! We split the small bingsoo with 3 people and it was a good size. I also enjoyed the atmosphere which was quiet with a good amount of seating!“

“Insomnia cookies is always delightful especially for a late night sweet treat! The ice cream favors are on par with the cookie types. I would say though if you get ice cream on top of a cookie, the cookie is tough to get through and requires strength. Flavors that I recommend are cookie dough and the mint chocolate chip! Most of all menu items are shareable. Got 3 ice cream scoops and a cookie and share it. We almost didn’t finish ot but we pushed through. Also it’s not that crowded at 12 am and the service is especially nice and helpful even when we were confused :))“

Frozen Yogurt
Plain Tart
Gelato

“I go here often. There are several reasons why. 1. Larger selection of frozen yogurt compared to other locations. It is self serve so you can control the amount and variety of flavors. The taste of the yogurt is creamy and generally authentic when it comes to the more creative flavors. Very little after taste. Chocolate flavors, vanilla, strawberry, pistachio, tart, Sumatra coffee (one of my favorites), cheesecake, caramel,Are all my regulars when available. I might be missing a few! One of the Best features of this store is that it is open until midnight daily! So when you get that 10pm craving you'll know you can satisfy it. Store is tidy, workers seem to be on the ball and maintaining its cleanliness. Outside seating available.A few other comments. Their prices have gone up considerably. It is now expensive. Plan your budget accordingly. I also think they could rotate the flavors more often. All in all a big yes in my book.Dietary restrictions: Their tart flavor is very good and they do have a few toppings which could be considered as dietary restrictions. Will power is the answer here!Parking: More often than not you need to park a short walk (several minutes) from the store. There is parking closer but it is allocated to handicapped and pick up with limited time. Parking is free and available but not steps away.Kid-friendliness: This store is narrow and does have a few tables inside which are frequently occupied. I have never seen children inside the store but that doesn't mean they aren't allowed.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes accessible but space would be limited if store was busy“
