    Afters has become my absolute favorite ice cream shop. After enjoying their dessert in Pasadena, I was pleased to see them located inside The Orange Circle, close to home. This location is bigger, and may offer more flavors. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I absolutely love their decor, which reminds us that "ice cream is cheaper than therapy".[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Definitely got my dose of happiness in my cookie butter cup of ice cream. It is my flavor of choice. If you have room for dessert afterwards, Afters is a must try to fulfill your sweet cravings. You don't even have to wait, there's always room for ice cream.

    Because today is National ice cream day, I couldn't miss the chance to eat some. Since I was in the area, I decided to come to Afters. There were already other customers trying samples of different flavors, so they obviously offer samples for free. I looked in the case and already decided to get the Saigon Coffee flavor in a cup. The menu is posted on the wall behind the counter. I ordered mine in a cup, no toppings, which cost $6.25. You also have the option to have it in a sugar or waffle cone for extra, of course. There was only one server, who was friendly and efficient. I noticed a second server by the time I ate my ice cream. The flavor of the ice cream was pretty tasty, and it had a nice smooth texture. I would recommend it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's plenty of seating indoors. There are two tables that seat four near the back, and a long table with stool seating near the front of the shop.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It felt a little warm inside so I'm not sure if the A/C was on or just not turned on high enough.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have a free standing refrigerator with prepackaged ice cream. A little pricy though. They also sell other merchandise, like T-shirts. There's plenty of free street parking. If you can't find parking right outside the shop, you can definitely find it down a nearby side street.

    I visited here late on a weekday afternoon. I looked over the ice cream offerings and toppings and decided on a single scoop of cookie butter in a cup with some caramel sauce as a topping. They have a couple of 4-top tables and a long communal table inside. I took a seat at the latter and dove into my treat. The scoop was quite generous and the amount of sauce was passable. The cookie butter ice cream was incredibly delicious with a bold flavor; I devoured it quickly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior was exceptionally clean and the service efficient.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Definitely a good ice cream stop if you're in the Orange Circle area. I promise the ice cream is far less boring than this review.

    Long line here on a hot scorching day. Several flavors on display in the freezer. So many choices. I sampled a few, but it was a sorbet type of day so chose a scoop of the mango. It was the right call. Very tasty. There is merchandise available to buy and the flavors are packaged in pints to take home. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There tables inside to enjoy your frozen treats.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Afters is a must for me, every time I visit Cali! My boyfriend and I headed here on our way back to Phoenix from Disney. I was sad to see they didn't gave Dubai Choc available for scoops so I opted for my traditional cookie monster and ube brownie. It never disappoints. They did have Dubai choc. available for purchase by the pint ($20 ) and the server was super nice and helped me insulate my ice cream to bring back to Phoenix. I'm happy to report my ice cream made it back without melting. I did also purchase ice and a foam cooler from the gas station down the street, lol.

    Me Befores: Wow, I really want to try that yung Cookie Butter scoop with a Milk and Cereal Scoop on a waffle bowl. Me Afters: Wow, that Cookie Butter Scoop with a Milk and Cereal Scoop on a waffle bowl was really good! My Stomach Befores: Wow I'm really sad I don't have any prepositioned ice cream. My Stomach Afters: Wow, I'm really happy I have prepositioned ice cream from an aptly named store.

    I always have to grab Afters when in the area, and it never disappoints. We tried their Cookie Monster milkshake and a scoop of their cookie butter ice cream. Both were delicious. It was pretty empty when we arrived and were immediately helped. The place looked clean. Parking can be hard to find, but we were able to find something nearby!

    Never seen Vietnamese coffee made into ice cream

    I would like to leave one star because this place only accepts card, not cash. However, I am deeply in love with the ice cream flavors of this place, and I also love the smell of vanilla extract and other flavors as this makes this place feel very comforting. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The strong vanilla smell hits hard when you walk by and the door is open.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I once walked into this place during a rainy night and I got the Ube and Thai tea combos. I think I also got the Dubai chocolate as well because it made my ice cream taste so delicious. This place is also provides free samples of ice cream. I also like how this place provides some merchandise as well. It also mentioned a bunch of companies that mentions this. I guess in order to promote their business, which is nice.

    Came here on a Saturday afternoon, the staff was nice and helpful, provided whatever samples I wanted to try. I ended up getting a double scoop of mint monster and the strawberry crunch. Both flavors are bomb! My friend got the milkshake with the same flavor. The staff definitely hook it up on the milkshake, I saw like at least 6 scoops of ice cream in the milkshake. Over all great experience, friendly staff, and delicious ice cream and milkshake. Definitely hit the spot after lunch and hot day.

    Very delicious!! Good service! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Place is cool![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Wish they have more seats like 2 people seats and table separately!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    For lunch, I had pizza before and wanted ice cream after. I decided on the Vegan Chocolate Chip. I want to bring a Vegan friend to the circle for a lunch date. I loved the Vegan ice cream, and I know she will too. The service is good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's indoor seating, or you can enjoy your ice cream on a bench by the fountain at the circle.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would return.

    The Cookie Monster, Thai Tea, then Ube Brownie

    10/10 Ice cream for price and portion! Food: all three flavors in the photo were so good! Good quality and were a good size for a single person! Service: Workers were kind and did samples! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance: Spacious inside. More of a standing in and outside the shop![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    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.

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.

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.
