Family was in town for a college graduation. Younger niece would not let up on wanting to go to Confetti until her mother texted to meet up at Confetti. 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. read more

Came here on a Tuesday night for my cousin's birthday and we are so glad we made it here! Food: Amazing! They let you sample pretty much everything and I opted in for the black sesame ice cream with vanilla custard! The black sesame was very prominent in the ice cream which I loved since I am a black sesame lover. The custard was silky, creamy, and delicious! Service: Also amazing! Staff was very patient with me and my group. We were a group of 9! We also mentioned that it was my cousin's birthday and the rule at the store is that they offer a free small ice cream on your birthday (with showing ID). They also added a candle on top of my cousin's ice cream, lit it up, and sang happy birthday to her! It was so cute! Ambiance: So clean inside and there is a lot of open space inside which I appreciated! Since there was a lot of us in the group it didn't feel to cramped. Overall, I would come back with other friends and family and definitely would recommend this place if you are craving ice cream and/or italian custard! read more

Delicious mom n' pop Italian ice and custard spot. Went on a warm weekday evening - was pretty busy, but not obscenely so (there were a couple seats outside we saved). Was quickly helped and given a few samples to try. Ended up getting the Thin Mint (in honour of Girl Scout cookie month lol) - was a mix of oreo milkshake, andes mint, and vanilla custard. Was really, really good! Def will be back if I'm around the area! read more

I'm so glad to have finally discovered Confetti! The workers were extremely patient, letting us sample multiple flavors as we were plotting our ideal flavor combos. We all ended up going with combinations from their menu. I ordered the piña colada since I was in the mood for a fruity flavor and it hit the spot!! I ate every last bite, the italian ice texture paired with the creamy custard was immaculate. I will definitely be back next time I'm craving italian ice. I love Joes but 90% of the time I don't want to stand in an hour line and will happily come to Confetti. read more

Pretty addicting tasty dessert treat close to Costa Mesa mall! I ordered their Italian ice with soft serve ice cream and it was really good! Such a great combination! The owner, I think, who was helping me was really nice and helped with Italian ice combinations to make! Great place for your sweet tooth fix! read more

Enjoyed grabbing this sweet treat & seeing all the yummy combos they offer! I enjoyed this mostly because the flavors tried weren't overly sweet and didn't leave an artificial aftertaste. In the end, I decided on the passion fruit and lychee combo "tropical snowball" without vanilla custard. Passion fruit was my favorite, not too overwhelming and compliments the lychee well. Service was top tier, friendly and welcoming even as the night was coming to a close. I love the space, lots of places to sit both inside and out to enjoy your dessert! read more

I was having dinner next door and noticed a line outside, so curiosity got the best of me and I went to check it out. After dinner, something sweet sounded perfect. They specialize in Italian ice and custard. The custard is basically like vanilla ice cream but thicker and creamier. They have a lot of flavors and you can mix and match, then top it with custard. The staff was friendly and let me sample a few before deciding. I ended up getting mango and passion fruit Italian ice with custard on top. Mixing the icy part with the creamy custard almost made it taste like a milkshake. Even the small size was pretty big. Overall it was really good and I'd come back to try different combinations. read more

Confetti in Costa Mesa is an absolute gem a small, Asian-owned mom-and-pop shop that deserves all the love. Think of it as Italian ice meets soft serve, almost like an Asian take on Joe's Italian Ice... but honestly better in both price and flavor. They highlight Asian flavors so beautifully, yet truly everything on the menu is phenomenal. You can't go wrong with any of the chocolate-forward flavors or the fruit flavors. The consistency is what really sets them apart: perfectly soft, smooth, and creamy, with that satisfying custard-like texture paired with the refreshing bite of Italian ice. It's genuinely the best of both worlds. The owners are incredibly sweet, and you can feel that it's a family-run business from the moment you walk in. Customer service here is spectacular they're welcoming, accommodating, and genuinely want you to enjoy your experience. They even offer samples, so don't be shy about trying different flavors. I truly have nothing but good things to say. If you're in the OC area especially Costa Mesa this is a must-stop for a sweet treat, whether it's midday or after dinner. I love this place so much and will absolutely keep coming back. read more

As always, amazing and such kind folks that run this store. Too notch service. Anytime we are taking ice cream to go to take back home the owner will always place ice packs in for us. Rest of the staff will also do the same. Always consistently kind and thoughtful. We drive about a 30 minute drive and our ice cream tastes just as it would at the store. The owner rotates flavors out every two weeks' such a plethora of flavors where anyone and everyone will have a flavor for them! Please support this gem of an ice cream shop! Very clean and always packed for the right reasons! PS: bring cash to tip! They don't do tip on the iPad for the card payments. read more

Heavenly ice cream, Italian ice & creamy frozen custard served with smiles by the owners. We love the wide variety of delicious flavors. You can choose your flavors and sizes or also choose from a menu of favorite combinations. Charming place. On this latest trip, we had the Kona Coffee combination of coconut, coffee & chocolate ice cream, as well as a self-selected combo of lemon sorbet, coconut ice cream topped with vanilla custard. There is not always a line but this evening there was a long line but it moves decently fast. Worth a little wait to enjoy the ice cream and support this business. read more

You'll never find a place like this!!! I wish I lived closer, but at the same time, I'm glad I don't cause I'd get fat. First of all, the service is my favorite part about this place. Vera and Lin are the kindest people. super genuine. I was looking at their "combo menu" but my mind just thought it was a "flavor" list, so I asked for a sample and they made me a mini of that combo?! If that doesn't explain how they'd go above and beyond for service, then idk what will (but don't take advantage of their sampling obviously) ... continuing on with the mistaken sample I asked for. It was called the "Caramel Delight". I just wanted caramel and didn't even notice the fact that it said "coconut" as the first flavor. When I tried the sample- I was blown away. I have never tried such a COMBINATION. it was soooooooooooooo good. My bestie kept eating from my cup! BUT I was HAPPY she took from mine because I was absolutely full after eating it!!! We did come from a dinner, but the ice cream was so filling (in a good way) for only $7!!!!!! $7 FOR A WHOLE COMBINATION!!! You don't even find single scoops like that in LA anymore. I came two days in a row when I tried it, cause I had to show my other friends. And I was already craving it. Lin packaged the Togo items so nicely with ice bags and gave us a color changing spoon:) read more

I don't know if this combination is common, but this was my first time having custard + Italian ice and it was DELICIOUS! Decked out in pastel colors, this place is located in a Costa Mesa shopping center with ample, free parking. While you could tell from the paint that it has stood the test of time, you quickly find out it's for very legitimate reason. You will be overwhelmed with the amount of tasty options and varieties. On the menu are premade flavor combinations as well as the option to create your own. In the glass cases are the ice cream flavors on the left and the Italian ice flavors on the right. I tasted some flavors, and got some FOMO as I knew I wanted to order a parfait because it combined both of their products that I couldn't get elsewhere. I ordered the Strawberry & Cream. I'm used to pre-packaged, syrupy Italian ice. This was fluffy, refreshing, and just the right amount of sweet. As for the custard, it was so rich and creamy; it's dissimilar to the light-ness of frozen yogurt. read more

Confetti Italian Ice & Custard in Costa Mesa is an absolute gem! 10000/10 & my gosh - so much love goes into this shop! From the service to the quality of their Italian ice and custard, it's obvious every detail is done with care. I wish I lived closer because this is a must-visit spot everyone should go to at least twice in their life! I have to start with the owner - he was my absolute favorite. Super friendly and genuinely sweet, he took the time to tell us all about the shop. Honestly, the owner alone would keep me coming back if I lived nearby. One of the kindest souls I've ever met! It's clear this is a local spot they pour their hearts into. The desserts themselves are made so right. You can feel the love in every bite - rich, creamy, and the portion sizes are generous. Choosing a flavor was nearly impossible because they're all so, so good! Parking is easy with a big lot, and the shop itself is spacious inside - plenty of room to enjoy your dessert comfortably. Prices are very reasonable - no complaints here. I can't even remember exactly what I ordered (it was all amazing), so you'll just have to go try it yourself. I promise, this will be one of your best dessert stops ever! read more

Went on a Saturday night after dinner and it was busyyy! Only one person working (probably the owner) but he was scooping and serving everyone pretty quick so the line wasn't so bad. We picked from the Creations and got the Oreo Cookie Butter & something with Chocolate/Expresso (can't remember the name)! Both combos wete delicious, but their soft serve was a bit liquid and it felt too sweet after a few bites. Overall a solid dessert spot though, I would definitely return to try their Italian Ice combos! read more

I haven't been back here in years even though I live down the street. It's not their fault. I'm just not much of a sweets and desserts person but my friends are so we followed the trend! We were served by the nicest friendliest gentleman who offered endless tasting of options. It's quite a good space for people to sit and enjoy their desserts. So what stood out here were the flavors. Ube tasted like the actual sweet yam. I know because I had some steamed ube at home that I was munching on. Pineapple dole tasted like real fruit. Amazing. And according to my friend the banana also tasted like the actual fruit. Oh and top it off, they are so reasonably priced. You should have seen the gigantic cup of the pineapple creamsicle. Enormous! I would rather get more than my money's worth here than other exorbitantly priced competitors who serve disappointingly tiny portions. If you're nearby, consider patronizing this local spot! Worth it for sure! read more

Food 5/5: Ordered the Ube Cheesecake and Matcha Oreo with custard. The cheesecake chunks were sizeable and ultra creamy which balanced well with the slightly more muted matcha. The medium size parfait was more than I could finish! Service 5/5: This is a truly dog friendly shop! Not only was our pup allowed inside, but he was offered his own ice cream cup which he enjoyed happily. The workers were all friendly and helpful in allowing me to try a few flavors before making my selection. Price $: At $8 for three scoops, quality ice cream for a great price. read more

Great service and a good variety of flavors. It was very popular after dinner even on a Monday. Parking is in a Stater Bros lot so there's a lot. Lychee and banana italian ice were true to their name. Not artificially sweet either, perfect amount. There are a few tables inside and outside and it's decorated cutely inside. read more

This place is AMAZING!!! We got the mango mochi ice cream with vanilla custard and the butterfinger ice cream with vanilla custard. Both of the flavors were very yummy and surprisingly not too sweet. The service was also very good as they let us try all the flavors we wanted, which was great because they had so many delicious flavors to choose from. The line gets pretty long at night but it moves pretty fast and is well worth the wait. read more

I haven't been to Confetti Italian Ice in 6+ years and I'm glad I rediscovered this place. We got the small (2 scoops) parfait of the Trolli Sour Bites. I appreciated that they take a small scoop of each flavor to make the single scoop then repeat for the second scoop. It truly makes for the perfect bite. The custard was also very good consistency. Friendly staff. Busy but fast moving line even at 9 pm. read more

It was so busy in there and the workers were trying as hard as they could but it still took a long time. Since it was so busy it was intimidating to order or even ask for a sample so we felt very rushed. That being said, the ube cheesecake was DELICIOUS!! I would 100% get this flavor again and would like to try other flavors maybe when I don't feel as rushed. read more

My boyfriend and I visited Confetti for the first time because we were drawn in by their unique flavors. They offer ice cream, custard, and Italian ice. We were already excited by the ice cream that we didn't have a chance to try their Italian ice this time. They Thai tea with Oreo ice cream was amazing. I would definitely order this flavor again. The strawberry mochi was good, but it's just strawberry ice cream with mochi bits in it. I'd probably pick a more unique flavor next time. Finally, the espresso was deliciously bitter. Altogether, the service was good and Confetti is a cute spot to visit for a frozen treat. There's seating available both indoors and outdoors. read more

Came here Sunday night and it was pretty busy. There was only one person working but the line still moved pretty quick. The thai tea with chocolate chips and vanilla custard is really good. We got our ice cream to-go and they included bags of ice so that the ice cream won't melt too fast which I thought was nice. There's so many flavors and options here, anyone can find something that they will like. Next time I want to try the dole whip custard with vanilla. read more

Every time I come here I'm NEVER left disappointed. Let me start by saying: I am not an ice cream person. But this place? Has me seriously considering a 40-minute round trip daily just to get a scoop. I've tried something different every visit - Italian ices, slushies, and their ice cream - and everything has been insane. I tried their espresso toffee with their take on rocky road and I was fully converted. Creamy, rich, perfectly balanced. You can tell everything's made in-house, the quality speaks for itself! On top of that, the owners and staff are always so kind and welcoming. I've had great interactions every time. This place is a gem. 10/10 read more

My friend & I visited Confetti on a Wednesday evening. The lot in front of the building made parking a breeze. There were a few other customers when we arrived, but the shop filled up quite a bit with families throughout our stay. This was my second visit & I'm glad to report that their treats consistently delicious. The owner was so friendly, & he let us try several samples. We had a difficult time deciding which flavors to go with because we loved so many of the options. I ended up ordering a small cup with the lychee mochi gelato, chocolate cake gelato, & a dallop of cookie butter custard. My friend got a small cup with chocolate cake gelato, oreo gelato, & the cookie butter custard as well. When the owner learned we were celebrating my birthday, he kindly gave me my order free-of-charge. Confetti not only has a wide array of delectable treats, but also has such a warm & compassionate team--cannot recommend this spot enough. Already looking forward to my next visit! read more
