    CASH ONLY! This is the place to go for ice cream or candy. They sell by the bulk. Ice Cream/Candy: - So many different types of brand ice cream here, I spent a good 15 mins just looking at the photos on the wall to decide what I want to buy - They sell by boxes of 12 & 24 depending on the ice cream you get - Cannot get half a box, it has to be a full box - Bought 24 vanilla cones ($17), 12 bomb pops ($12), 2 small packets of dry ice ($2) Location/Parking: Good - Place is located next to DTF - Can be tough to find and the place looked a bit run down but no fear! The two guys inside are nice. - If you continue driving straight, you can turn left and find more parking spots there. I'm coming back here to buy my ice cream, forget the stores.

    Sweet memories of days gone by...a hot summer's day...playing in the sprinkler...laying on the cool grass in the shade staring up at the sky. Maybe I would get to see a big, puffy cloud take on the form of a dragon or a bunny rabbit? Lazy, halcyon days of a 10 year old. I could hear a familiar song in the distance, a tinkling music box melody getting louder and louder as it gets closer. Was it? Yes, it was! Everybody knows that sound! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZB6WXDuM1g Dashed inside...begged Mom for a dime (heh heh, we were baby boomers, it was that cheap)...then dashed back out. The music was broadcasting from a big, colorful shoebox of a truck as it came slowly around the corner with my old buddy, the ice cream man, at the helm. He deliberately pulled to the side and opened the window on the curb side of the vehicle. Candies and popsicles and individually wrapped ice cream cones blinked back at me as the bright sun glared down in my face. "Grape popsicle, please?" (I had good manners, even though it didn't get me my popsicle any faster). Unfortunately, nobody told us those sugary delights were foretelling of tooth decay, diabetes, and plump bottoms. Sweet memories. Although not as common today in my neighborhood, they still exist. But where do those trucks stock up? I may have discovered a secret lair. We just happened to drive by this tired, ugly warehouse that hides behind other businesses, with a line of abused ice cream trucks parked out front. The front room was papered from floor to ceiling with poster sized labels tormenting me with the hundreds of tempting goodies they carried and the prices per box. Behind the counter stood an older guy, obviously the cashier, and an open view to a huge storage area, the shelves stocked floor to ceiling with candy boxes. The ice cream products were lurking somewhere in the back. Since they are open to the public, perhaps the occasional fund raisers or concession stand is also a likely customer. Or an ice cream fiend who happens to have a huge freezer. There are a few items you can buy singly, but mostly, you have to buy it in bulk, a box of 12 for starters. Not for me. And if you need it, this is the place to get your dry ice, too. So, I wonder what this generation will remember? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SYr0hybLPs

    Went today to pick up some ice cream bars for my Chili Chili Mango truck before an event. Staff was friendly and took care of me fast. They had a huge selection.I will be back!

    Enjoying her Hello Kitty Ice Cream at Deelite Distribution...The BEST place to buy bulk ice cream not sold in markets!

    NOT CASH ONLY ANYMORE...THEY ACCEPT CARDS. Absolutely love this shop...It has all the ice creams, candies, chips, and popcorn from an ice cream truck you could use for a party that all kids and kids at heart will LOVE! The women working there are so friendly and they are extremely helpful! They can answer all questions about what items are most popular and how much dry ice to pack your pops in. Maria helped us load up our car and explained how to store the ice cream in the ice cream cart. They were open today Thursday until 4pm and I believe the hours in Yelp are correct. They also now accept cards and of course cash. Also you can rent an ice cream push cart to store your ice cream in for your party and your guests can serve themselves...Excellent idea and it will be an absolute HIT! GREAT place to make a party a BLAST!

    Drove from Irvine to Fullerton to check this place out this morning. The owners were super friendly and super helpful. He even broke down the prices from least 2 most and how many were in each box. Definitely recommending this place! The prices are unbelievable! And all of our childhood favorite flavors! I would highly also recommend bringing a cooler bag or a cooler with you because a lot of the good ones sell in 24 pieces per box . Even though you can buy them individually, you're totally score more when you buy them by the Box. And the boxes are about the size of a shoebox.

    I come here for the dry ice & bulk ice cream. You can get all the ice cream / bars / pops & treats that you see from the ice cream trucks which range from $0.50 - $1.00 each (they sell by the dozen). Parking is small but they are usually not busy. Staff is always friendly & they are open 7 days a week. Mommy Tips: - coins are welcome here (they have a counter)... my kids love bringing all the change they saved up - dry ice blocks ($2 for a 3-4lb block).... it's cheap kiddie entertainment for Halloween or other occasions

    We luckily came in when the place is not busy at all. Staff were friendly. Their soft serve has 4…read moredifferent type, I believed and toppings are unlimited. We ordered: Soft serve type: Upside down Filling: Nutella Ice Cream: Ube Toppings: Biscoff Crumble, Oreo Crumbs, Fruity Pebbles Rating: 5/5 Soft serve type: Upside Down Filling: Nutella Ice Cream: Cookies and Cream Toppings: Oreo crumbs Rating: 5/5 5pcs Taiyaki: Nutella fillings (5/5) Definitely will be coming back here, though, parking is horrible.

    I understand when there's slow times, busy and shift changes…read more.. However one worker (kelvin bless his heart) was working the front alone and my daughter and I were asked to hold on to place an order for over 10 mins is excessive when two workers came out to the front when the line began wrapping around inside. Then... a double order was made by Karina and I asked if we could have one of them because they were going to trash them and she said no very rudely and then threw all 4 brand new soft serves away. We placed our order and then the remainder of the line was placing their orders and since we ordered taiyaki I knew we would have to wait but they didn't start making our taiyakis until 6 groups who were behind us were served their orders first THEN they started making ours. So basically we've been waiting in here for like 20 + mins now for something that shouldn't take more than 5 max 10 mins. Once we got our taiyakis they were BURNT. I asked for new ones and Karina said no it's just Nutella. Sorry but no... this was our worst experience at a somi somi and I love the flavors and what they have to offer at this chain but honestly the service here is really bad.

    Craving matcha turned into a mild parking obstacle course near California State University,…read moreFullerton, because apparently the real challenge is fitting your car into a space designed for a bicycle with confidence issues. Inside Vivot, it's giving "finals week survival zone" with students glued to laptops, one brave employee running the entire operation, and a self-order kiosk doing its best emotional support role. We kept our Matcha Latte classy, 25% sweetness with oat milk to really interrogate the matcha and honestly it passed the vibe check!! Smooth, solid, and worth the parking gymnastics. Oh and also, they are open late, closes at 11pm week nights and midnight on weekends.

    Came here bc it's the only cafe around in a city full of bars. I understand their most popular…read moredrinks are the matcha, but I don't think it's an excuse to slack off on the other drinks. I had ordered a milk tea and their Thai tea and was super disappointed with the flavor it was complete milk unfortunately and no sweeteners despite us having the 100% sweetener option. The drinks came out very far from each other time wise as well which isn't a super big issue but it's noticeable and could be an issue for bigger orders. Super busy somehow so we didn't want to burden the worker while the store had a rush. Other than that the place gave me a very pretentious vibe. I'm all for starting a business you're passionate about but it's hard to see what's different about THIS cafe in a world full of other businesses claiming to be different that's serving the same items (matcha specifically). Not to say that there's not bad matcha or coffee out there, there is. Seems like the type of cafe people go to take a picture of their drinks and pretend like they're connoisseurs and pretend that it's "different" than whatever else is out there and sit and pretend to study on their laptop (even though it's the loudest and crowded place in the world in there). Seeing that the place opened recently, it's very hard to believe this isn't some type of money grab for a younger audience to serve trendy drinks. Or at the very least, a very expensive passion project for the owner. Overall just more focused on aesthetics more than anything.
