I am a home made ice cream fan. Confetti is the only ice cream that satisfies that. The best I have ever had. The vanilla custard is perfect. You can't make good ice cream if you don't have a perfect vanilla. They do! In my opinion confetti is the gourmet of home made ice cream. Try it! read more

AMAZING as always. 10/10! Today I tried the lychee and pink guava parfait! They both were great and one of my favorite dessert spots! read more

Not really sure what the hype is all about. During a late night craving I found this place because of the reviews on their Thai tea and Oreo flavor. When I got to the store there was a long line out the door! While I waited I couldn't help but notice once inside the shop that the interior paint and decor could use some help. Paint was chipped and peeling. The floors were stained and it really took away from my experience. Once I got to the front I was disappointed to know that they no longer had the Thai Oreo flavor and they were unsure if it would come back. So while sampling other flavors, I asked if I could try the cookie butter soft serve in which I was also sad to know that the machine for it was out of order. I settled on other flavors that were OK and not worth the $14. I think the owners should invest back into this store because it seems like they haven't since it opened. Spend money on small interior renovations, a little paint goes a long way. Also they should immediately fix their other soft serve machine or have a sign posted in the front making consumers aware. 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

Came on a Sunday night after dinner around 9PM. Pretty busy with a constant crowd of people. Theres a few tables inside and outside to enjoy your ice cream. They have so many unique ice cream flavors as well as sorbets, so there's something for everyone. cookie butter custard: 9.9/10. this is amazing. the ice cream comes with a custard on top (vanilla, chocolate, dole whip, or cookie butter). The cookie butter is amazing. Rich and creamy and flavorful. lychee mochi: 9.6/10. delicious, refreshing, amazing. Does not taste artificial at all and full of mochi toppings mixed in. oreo matcha: 9.0/10. this flavor has a strong matcha flavor and is suprisingly on the less sweet side. I love the flavor and bitterness of this flavor. Only for actual matcha lovers. andes mint: 6.5/10. good mint flavor but too many andes mint pieces for me! wanted more ice cream. not my favorite. Service is amazing. They let you try everything and even encourage it! They are so super sweet :) read more

Found this place by accident on maps and thought I would check it out with my kids after going to the fair. All the flavors and combinations sounded incredible and it was hard to choose, but I ultimately went with a mango ice, vanilla custard and condensed milk combo. Delish!

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

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

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

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

The custard and ices were fire, and reasonably priced. They have a water dispenser and some seating, but the place was packed. I'm glad they're doing well. 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

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

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

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

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
