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've tried a couple flavors from this spot, with some hits and misses. I was excited to try the Hokkaido milk flavor, but it was weirdly buttery and I couldn't finish it. This time, I tried the new signature flavor, brown butter cookie dough, and it was very decadent and the cookie dough added a great texture. I also appreciate their monthly seasonal flavors, and for May I tried the genmaicha rice krispie. It has a milder taste than matcha, with a nice roasted flavor. The server let us sample multiple flavors before ordering, which was great because they have a lot of flavors I haven't tried before. Inside they have bar stools, and there's also outdoor patio seating. Overall, I don't think I would come here regularly because of the high prices, but it was a nice treat.

She helped me narrow it down to the safe lavender and honey, which is so delicious!

The inside is super clean and minimal, but there is no seating inside or outside. It's great to stop by after dinner or before an event!

I'm not an ice cream fan, so this was our first time visiting this ice cream shop after having been…read moreto the Marketplace for many years. I was slightly surprised that the price is close to $7 for a single scoop of ice cream on a cone, I guess I'm used to those days when ice cream used to be a dollar, but what I did appreciate was that they offered to put it in a cup for us because the portion they give is so generous that it doesn't fit on a cone. I actually wanted something a little healthier when I went so I chose the no sugar added pistachio, which was so good so creamy so delicious and full of pistachio nuts. I'm aware that there are other options nearby such as Dairy Queen at less than half the price of this, but if I had to choose again, I might still come back to Handel's because the single scoop could almost be enough for two people. We went with a few other families and none of the kids could actually finish their ice cream cone, which is actually good because that means you can share. The shop is especially good if you're planning to watch a movie at the Regal Cinema just next door.

We walked past this place and decided to get some ice cream! Keep in mind that the smallest amount…read moreof ice cream you can get in a cup or a cone is 2 and a half scoops, so expect to be full of ice cream after. The service was good and really quick, and the place is super chill. The menu of the ice cream place is also very extensive, so you can get a multitude of interesting flavors! I got the s'mores one and it was super delicious, with a graham cracker base, chocolate chips and gooey marshmallows. It was also super creamy and flavorful! The blueberry cobbler one is rich with that blueberry flavor, kind of like a blueberry pie. And the strawberry sorbet was not too sweet and refreshing and it's dairy-free. If you're looking for a sweet treat and don't mind having more than one scoop, go to Handel's!

I've been coming to Honeymee ever since they first opened during peak COVID era, and for years the…read moreDarling was one of our go-to orders. Back then, the soft serve was incredibly creamy, rich, and had a thick consistency that made it stand out from other dessert spots. Over the past few years though, it seems like the recipe or preparation has changed. Since around 2022, the soft serve felt more diluted, with a lighter and airier texture. It's still enjoyable, but it doesn't have the same dense, creamy consistency that I remember, especially during the height of the pandemic when it seemed to be at its best. That said, the Darling is still a classic menu item, and the honey flavor remains unique. I keep coming back partly out of nostalgia and partly because there still aren't many places that offer quite the same combination. I just miss the richer, creamier version that it initially had and hope that the recipe will change for the better.

I was in the mood for some ice cream and wanted to try somewhere different. We found this place…read morewith great reviews on Yelp and decided to give it a try. It was very good! The ice cream is served inside a fish-shaped cone waffle that's a little more chewy than a regular waffle cone. They also have a lot of different toppings to choose from and try out.

Younger niece always insists on making a visit to Confetti every time she is in town. She was happy to see Ms. Farah and Mr. Linh serving Italian custard and ice to customers when she entered. She enjoyed the extra cake Mr. Linh put on the bottom of her go to order strawberry shortcake. Her father always orders the root beer float with the vanilla custard. A few samples were given of the new flavor to us in limoncello. My family ordered a root beer float, a lychee ice and limoncello small parfait, and a pink grapefruit, mango, lychee, Dole whip, condensed milk small parfait. I had my usual of pineapple creamsicle. It was exactly how I wanted it with plenty of vanilla custard to counter the tartness of the pineapple juice. Daughter and I also ordered a party size of vanilla custard and a party size of blueberry muffin, vanilla custard, and brownie bite layered from lightest flavor to heaviest flavor to restock our freezer. There are no pictures this time as we were enjoying our treats and the company of family as we hung out. We watched as the line grew to being outside the shop between 8:30 PM and 9:00 PM on a Sunday night. Farah and Linh worked steadily through the line to service each customer. We have so much joy visiting the shop because you're treated much more than a customer but as friend/family and there is warmth and care in the personal interaction. You could see that a few of the customers come often and are repeat customers.

i have been a long time fan of dolce so it saddens me to write a critical review…read more the gelato is still good but they changed the sample limit from 3 flavors to 2. That really limits the customer in finding a flavor they would want to order in my opinion. I wish they would get rid of this sample limit. Its hard for people to decide what flavor they want based on only two choices. What happens if they don't like either flavor? I think if i walked in, tried 2 samples and didnt like any, i would just have to walk away from the store. Which i would hate for a small/local business! anyways, i would just like to say that i hope they reconsider this sample limit. i know that some people take advantage of it but most people truly want to taste test and see which one they enjoyed the most!
