    We stopped by Filo Dessert after eating nearby, mainly because I found out they make ashta booza. I have not had booza in America before, and I had basically accepted that it was something I would only get whenever I'm in the Middle East. The moment I heard they served it here, I knew we had to go. Even though we sampled a few flavors, we had to go with ashta. We also ordered the knafeh, which is one of my favorite desserts of all time. Even with the large Middle Eastern food scene in Los Angeles, it can be surprisingly difficult to find knafeh made the way I personally enjoy it. A lot of places serve versions that are extremely cheesy or oily, when knafeh should really be an entire experience. You want the crunch of the pastry, the softness and saltiness of the cheese, and enough syrup to bring everything together without overpowering it. The knafeh here was simple but very well balanced. We covered it in syrup, but it was not overwhelmingly sweet or heavy enough to leave you crashing afterward. It also tasted evenly heated throughout, rather than scorching hot in one section and cool in another, which sometimes happens when knafeh has simply been reheated. We added pistachio booza on top, and it elevated the entire dessert. The cold, creamy pistachio flavor paired beautifully with the warm knafeh, while still tasting familiar and traditional. This is not necessarily the place to visit for flashy, TikTok-style dessert creations or highly modernized flavors. It is more like a small, family-run shop focused on traditional and comforting flavors, and I think that is exactly what makes it such a great addition to Anaheim. I would definitely come back to try more of their desserts and booza flavors. My only disappointment was that we wanted to take home a pint of the ashta booza, but they had already sold out.

    Cool little spot in a small corner strip mall. Unfortunately they had run out of the knafeh naameh (fine) right before we got there so we settled for the knafeh khesneh (coarse) and I also tried the butter knafeh, but no worries as both versions are typically solid. Employees/owner were very kind and polite. Not a lot of difference in the regular knafeh vs the butter version that I could tell, overall flavor was good but not special enough for those who have had authentic Palestinian knafeh before, and also could have been baked a few more seconds for a slightly meltier cheese. I'd go back earlier in the day to be able to try the knafeh naameh though. For those trying knafeh for the first time, it's worth stopping by for the experience!

    Rice pudding with biscoff ice cream and biscoff cookie topping

    Really cute shop especially loving the vibrant colors!! This was my first time having Arabic rice pudding and I was recommended to pair it with the biscoff ice cream and it honestly hit the spot. The rice pudding wasn't overly sweet and the ice cream flavor balanced each bite. Arasha was amazing for recommending this combo and the added biscoff cookie toppings which took this over the edge.

    The knafeh with ice cream on top is insane. Super sweet but soooo goood. Honestly the baklava ice cream isn't that amazing, it's kind of like vanilla. I will definitely be back to try it with a different ice cream but the knafeh it self was fresh so good. I really appreciate how they make it fresh to order so it comes out warm. The man and lady were both very welcoming and kind. The inside is nice and very clean. Overall will definitely be coming back and trying more stuff

    This place is bit overhyped on social media. I thought the dessert here was just okay. My friend and I shared the Knafooza with Baklava Ice Cream and it was tasty, but too sweet and not what we expected. I liked the creamy Baklava Ice Cream and the crispiness of the Knafeh. However, I was disappointed that the cheese wasn't stretchy and was like a block in the center of the dessert and the Knafeh was doused in syrup, way too much and too sugary in my opinion. The server even said it was unhealthy and required 2 hours at the gym lol. I also wasn't the hugest fan of the service. The server was a bit passive aggressive to me and my friend especially when we were trying to communicate my walnut allergy. Overall, not the best experience here. The ice cream was good, but I would skip on the Knafeh.

    First time here and won't be the last. Lots of flavors to choose from and you get to sample all of them before ordering! Owner was very informative about the menu options. The inside was nice and clean with seatings. Unique flavors that everyone must try at least once.

    We noticed a new location, and since we love the Orange location, we were excited to see what this one has to offer in Little Arabia. First impressions: place is smaller than the Orange location, I believe there are three tables and a small barstool section. So it's definitely less spacious than the other location but we didn't have any issues finding seating on a Sunday at 2 pm. Service: The owner is super kind and personable. He is passionate about his business and has a great vision for new menus. Food: the riz bi halib, ashta ice cream, pistachio ice cream are soooo delicious. As a Syrian-American, I approve!! Also, as a Palestinian-American, I also approve of the knafa

    My friends and I were looking for a sweet treat after dinner and saw that there was this! I've always wanted to try Filo Dessert and didn't know there was one in Anaheim, which was such a pleasant surprise. Right as we walked in, the worker greeted us and was constantly checking up on us to see if we were ready to order. We were all super indecisive but she was so patient and offered us samples of the ice creams. There were so many unique flavors to pick from and all the samples were delicious, but I ended up going with the lotus biscoff. It was soo creamy with a perfect cookie flavor that wasn't overly sweet! I only got "one scoop" but it actually ended up being two really large scoops and is definitely enough for 1-2 people. The inside was really home-y with pictures and other decorations on the walls. There were a few tables so we were able to eat and yap! They also had an extensive menu with other desserts, drinks, and more, but we were just looking for something simple since it was late at night. I definitely would come back here or to another location because that ice cream lives rent free in my mind!

    5 stars! One of my factor rice puddings ever! The rice pudding is creamy, topped with Biscoff cream and crumbles. This shop makes all the desserts for both Filo Dessert locations (Anaheim & Orange). The staff is friendly. Space is small so it does have limited seating. All the desserts were scrumptious! I'll definitely be going to this location instead of the Orange shop. Thank you Filo Dessert!

    Awesome experience here! It was my first time and the staff was super helpful in explaining the options and the flavors to me. Got to sample a few ice cream options before choosing. Ended up going with the knafooza with baklava crunch ice cream. Shop wasn't too busy so got to have some nice conversations inside. Seating and parking can be a little limited during peak hours. Everything tasted great!

    What started as a quick meat run and a few errands turned into the sweetest detour! Mom was off work and came along for the ride--little did we know we'd stumble on Filo Dessert at a red light! I'd been to their other location with my cousin-Sistra n my sister in law, so I figured, why not stop in? Mom took one bite and lit up! "This is the BEST KINAFAH EVER!" Mom's whole face lit up, totally made her day (and mine!) We had the pleasure of meeting the lovely dynamic duo husband-and-wife team behind Filo. Wifey is the bakery boss, Hubby is the ice cream king! They even brought over a complimentary new dessert they're testing and asked for feedback, love customer facing businesses that are personable like that, totally transforms the experience! Pssstt... Be on the lookout for a crunchy bar like treat with ice cream! Yummyyy.

With so many delicious flavors to choose from, it's hard to go wrong. One tip: I highly recommend ordering online if you're in a hurry. This place is popular, and the lines can get pretty long, especially during the summer months. That said, if you order in person, you can get two flavors in the same cup, which is a fun way to try different combinations. I haven't figured out how to do that through the online ordering system yet. This has become one of our favorite places to stop after a nice family dinner. It's a great way to end the evening with a sweet, refreshing dessert. If you're looking for a cool treat to beat the heat, Joe's Italian Ice is definitely worth a visit!

It lives up to all the hype and then some. I met a friend for lunch in Cerritos and figured while I'm out here we can pop in and give them a try. I live an hour away and I would make the drive out here again just to buy some more ice cream to take home in a cooler. That's how impressed I was by the overall quality, creaminess and taste of the ice creams. Glenna was helping us out behind the counter and she was so sweet and so nice! The other man that was working there was also so friendly and nice. We were sampling several flavors and I decided to buy the flight (4 kids scoops) size because every flavor I tried I loved! I brought an ice cooler with me so that I could eat a little of it and then bring the rest home. I chose the Seasonal Guava Cheese Crisp (my FAVORITE). Think of Porto's guava cheese pastries as ice cream but better!!! Double stuffed cookies and Cream was a close 2nd. So yummy! Triple Chocolate Chunk Brownie - if you're a chocolate lover like I am you will not be disappointed in this decadent choice. 4th scoop was the Seasonal Pineapple Upside Down Cake which was fruity and light. I also sampled the Salted Pistachio Brittle, Ube Honeycomb and Bumbleberry Cheesecake flavors and they were all delicious! They have a good selection of Vegan flavors as well. Overall, the hype is real! Go! The customer service is excellent. The store is very clean, bright and airy. They have some tables that you can stand at and eat your ice cream and a couple benches inside. Plenty of parking.

Their ice cream truly lives up to the hype; it's incredibly creamy and perfectly sweet! The aesthetic of the shop is super cute, with neon LED lights decorating the walls. I should mention that there isn't any indoor seating, so it's strictly a grab-and-go spot. I've been to this location numerous times, and I've even brought my family along to give it a try. My go-to flavors are the Double Stuffed Cookies & Cream and S'mores. Out of the two, I'd say the S'mores is definitely my favorite. It tastes just like an actual s'more, with generous pieces of Hershey's chocolate, gooey marshmallows, and sweet, crumbly graham cracker pieces. Yum! Overall, I definitely recommend Sorry Not Sorry to anyone looking to satisfy their sweet tooth!

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 heard about…read morethis place from coworkers and TikTok but every time I drove past there's ALWAYS a long line and didn't want to wait that long. It's a small mom and pop donut shop with a drive-thru, it's a bit dark and inconspicuous, especially at 4 am when I went. I ordered 3 of their blueberry donuts with a Vietnamese ice coffee. The donuts were fresh and warm with a nice blueberry flavor, extremely delicious. So they definitely live up to the hype! The donut itself weren't overly cakey and had a nice crunch to them due to the glaze that's over them but still very soft on the inside. However, the Vietnamese iced coffee was just okay as the coffee flavor wasn't strong enough and it tasted like a regular iced coffee with cream. Also, I wished the ice was crushed instead of cubed. You're off getting better Vietnamese iced coffee from 7 leaves or any other place. Maybe I had a bad batch so try it you may like it. Regardless, I won't be coming here for the iced coffee just the donuts. The gentleman taking my order was very nice and so sweet. He was quite welcoming and so happy, we had up a very small conversation. I think he may have been the only one working that morning so it took a little longer than expected like 7-10 minutes but I am not complaining as the donuts I believe are made to order and I was also the only one in the drive-thru line so I didn't feel too bad. I will definitely be back! I would like try more of their donuts and maybe a different drink.
