One of my favorite Gelato shops in SD! Although it's a sister location to An's Dry Cleaning, the…read moreline is a lot shorter, especially if you go right when it opens. I love how the staff does flavor tours, where you get to sample and hear about each flavor before you order. I got a large double scoop of the leather (chocolate chip cookie) and visor (pistachio) and loved how nutty visor was. I would recommend pairing nutty visor with cypress if you're interested in a dark dubai chocolate note. This shop is close to the beach, but there is a paid garage attached to the plaza. If you are willing to walk, there is street parking in the vicinity.

The lore of these An's gelato spots is so cool - love that they really pay homage to the previous…read morebusiness and that it's embedded in the store name, decor, and flavor names. Their gelato is truly the best I've had in my life - dare I say, I enjoyed this more than the gelato I had in Italy. The ceremonial strawberry matcha flavor was DIVINE if you're a matcha lover. Such strong pure matcha flavor, just the right amount of sweetness and creaminess. The strawberry jam is homemade. The strawberry sorbet was strawberry galore - 6 lbs strawberries per batch. I love that they let every customer do the flavour tour. It does crank up the line times but it's worth it. Also, it's only a long line if you catch them at a busy time like weekends or after work. This place was so good we came back 3 times on our 1 week trip here. Not to mention, the staff is SO nice!

One of the best parts about this place is the variety, there's shave ice, soft serve, scoop ice…read morecream, frozen treats, ice cream cookie sandwich, you name it really. I usually go for a chocolate banana when I'm feeling like I need ti be healthy and a coke float with chocolate/vanilla swirl soft serve when I don't. If you want to try something weird try the soda freeze that's any soda with soft serve put in a machine to make a slushie thing, it's odd but good. Just don't use sprite as your base drink, that be nasty.

This sounded good after dinner at a nearby restaurant and before a show at Belly Up. I had never…read morebeen to this location before even though I've tried all the restaurants in this mall. The parking lot was pretty empty. It was a bit of a cool night and there was no line. I looked at the different flavors and there were a few. I opted for a soft serve. I just got the plain vanilla, but had it dipped in the butterscotch shell because I was feeling nostalgic for the dipped cones I had as a child. The woman helping us was patient while we made up our minds. I needed napkins as it started dripping immediately, even through the thick coating. We sat at the tables outside and ate our cones. The butterscotch tasted ok but it was really thick and waxy so I didn't finish it. If I were in the area i might come back and get ice cream or soft serve again but skip the dip.

There was a line down the block for An Hatmaker's Gelato. I'm not from around Del Mar so I didn't…read moremind looking for something else, especially after looking at pics online of An's gelato and it looked runny and icy so committing to the 50 minute wait was too risky. Gelato 101 was down the street, way quieter area. No marketing. No hype. The gelato was PERFECT, very close to gelato I've had in Florence, Italy. It was runny, it wasn't overly sweetened. I got chocolate and banana and WOW it made me soooo happy

On top of that, the guy helping me out was pretty sarcastic and not very friendly, which didn't help the experience. I wouldn't recommend it and definitely wouldn't come back. I'd just go to An's instead.

My family…read moreordered an Ice Vietnamese Coffee and a Matcha (wife loved even though she's not a matcha fan) drink which were very tasty. We ordered a Banh Mi sandwich which was one of the best I've had. The vegetables were pickled In House and were Awesome, really made the sandwich in my opinion. The bread was from a local bakery, soft and airy....Soooo good. My daughter ordered Crispy Rice which was flavorful and fresh. The owner was friendly and interacted with her customers as they were family. I highly recommend this place and yes I will definitely be back.

They separated the curry so you just pour he amount you like and additionally it doesn't make the bomb @ss chicken soggy. The Bahn mi was Bomb for me. Definitely returning and highly recommend. We also got the pleasure to meet one of the sisters-Matty! She is awesome and a great chef. Thank you Matty!!! -Randy

Stopped by Batch & Box Signature Cookies while walking around the Del Mar Highlands Town Center and…read moreit was a solid dessert stop. The shop is tucked into a quiet corner of the center and has a clean, cozy, slightly nostalgic feel to it. Everything looked well kept and inviting, and the cookie display definitely pulls you in. The cashier was genuinely friendly and welcoming, which always makes the experience better. We ordered the classic chocolate chip and the Dubai cookie. Both were really well done with soft centers, great texture, and not overly sweet. You can taste the quality of the ingredients, especially the chocolate. The Dubai cookie stood out with its richer, more indulgent flavor, but the classic chocolate chip was just as satisfying. An easy spot to pop into for a treat while shopping or to grab cookies to-go. Simple, quality cookies done right.

The shop is walk in only with no seating inside but right outside they have a few patio tables in the mall you can sit at. I got the oaty chip and the pink lady. They are of the thicker variety where the inside is barely baked and the outside is crispy. Flavor was good but nothing mind blowing. The oaty chip had a nice saltiness that contrasted the chocolate well. The pink lady has freeze dried strawberries that add a really nice intense strawberry flavor. I wish there was an option to have your cookie heated up in the shop. The shop itself feels very clean and bright. Service was fast and friendly.

This location is right in the center of so much Solana Beach activity offering plenty to do and see around this cafe that makes it an even better stop. Really easy to order and although the line may look long, they are usually quite fast. Worth the wait too! I recently had their cherry bomb latte and my husband had their vanilla latte. His vanilla latte was top tier but I absolutely love the cherry bomb latte. Cherry and coffee go together much better than expected. Their butter croissant was heaven. Just the fluffiest layers and delicious!

Even the bathroom was beautiful! I ordered a lavender latte and chocolate croissant. The latte was delicious and the cream top really made it. So good. Croissant was like any other really but personally, can't go wrong with chocolate. I'm curious about the lavender lemonade and I'd like to try their high tea sometime. Everything seems so carefully put together, I really couldn't get over it.
