    Since 1925?? Wow!
    Tammy W.

    What a cute little treasure located in downtown Orange. I stumbled upon this place during the international fair so I'm not sure that the service I received was typically the type of service I would get during a regular visit. The blondish lady who helped us was not really that friendly and seemed a bit annoyed. When asked for samples I would think many people ask for samples since the flavors are unique. Either way I'd probably be back again to try the other flavors and this is such a charming place inside with great decor.

    Came here for gelato with my family. There's seating downstairs and upstairs, although we chose to take our order to go. The gelato was delicious! I ordered pistachio. The restaurant was nicely decorated.

    I just happened to be in the area and was craving something sweet and savory. It was a split second decision but once I saw this place, I knew we had to try it. The staff was so helpful and friendly upon discovering it was my first time, and I ended up picking their most popular item. They have a small upstairs dining area where you can oversee the food being prepared and all the customers were also very friendly. The dessert was sooooo good. Crunchy and sweet but not too sweet. It's hard to explain but it's definitely worth the try.

    I walked in here last week and I saw on their sign that they're now selling Middle-Eastern lemonade. I decided to try it out since I don't like their ice-cream version. I ordered the drink and after drinking it, I fell in love with it right away. It was so delicious and it was unlike anything I'd ever had in a while. I got several of them in the past two days and honestly, I like the drink more than their sugary drinks. It's awesome!

    Knafeh Kishneh

    I love the ice cream at Filo and have wanted to try their knafeh since the first time we visited. After lunch today we walked over and got one to share. We had never had knafeh before, and weren't sure exactly what to expect since it's a cheesy dessert. We were VERY impressed and will come back for it again! It's a crispy, flakey dough, with a mild, somewhat salty, stringy cheese inside, covered with simple syrup and pistachios. LOVED IT. Since we were pretty full from lunch, we only ate half and took the rest home. The guy who helped us said to reheat it in the oven for a few minutes. I think we will be doing that tonight after dinner. I'm so happy Filo isn't too far from us, it's a great little shop with pretty ambiance, sweet workers, and delicious desserts & coffee.

    Crispy Kanafeh and rice pudding

    The staff were so patient and friendly. They helped explain the menu and gave us samples of ice cream. They recommended the strawberry cheesecake ice cream and the pistachio/almond cheesecake ice cream and let me do a split scoop because I couldn't decide between the two since they were so delish! The other flavors were very interesting and good too. My family liked the banana because it was real rather than artificial banana flavor. The ice cream was rich and creamy, not icy and not overly sweet either. We also enjoyed the crispy kanafeh and rice pudding which was super creamy and thick and had a nice floral flavor to it. The chamomile and vanilla latte were also great. They had a cozy corner with comfy bench seating that was perfect to hang out in plus ample space upstairs too. There is parking in the back lot that is free but limited and pay for spot parking on the streets.

    Delicious Arabic affogato on a hot summer day. I tried the creamy pistachio ice cream with their espresso, which was nice and strong. Staff was very friendly and helpful when asking for recommendations. The music selection and ambiance are great.

    Knafooza (no sugar)

    This has become my go-to spot for Mediterranean desserts. Parking is conveniently located behind the building. Having lived in the Middle East for over five years, I sometimes really miss authentic flavors--and I'm so grateful to have found this place. The shop itself is small, but there's a second-floor seating area that offers a bit more space. I usually come for their homemade ice cream or their Knafooza--a crispy kunefe topped with your choice of ice cream. You can choose whether or not to have syrup on the kunefe, and extra syrup is available at the table if you want a little more sweetness. The staff are always incredibly friendly and hospitable, which makes the experience even better. Highly recommended if you're in the area!

    My wife introduced me to this fantastic dessert spot in Downtown Orange, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. We ordered the Knafooza and the Boozalava with pistachio ice cream to share, and both were exceptional. The standout for us was the Knafooza. The kunafa was served warm, perfectly soft and gooey, with a balanced sweetness that didn't overpower the dish. The pistachio ice cream was smooth, rich, and subtly sweet -- a perfect complement that elevated every bite. The combination of warm pastry and cold, creamy ice cream was spot on. Service was attentive and friendly, and there was plenty of seating, making it easy to relax and enjoy our desserts without feeling rushed. Everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully crafted. It was indulgent without being heavy, and we're already looking forward to coming back to explore more of the menu.

    A lovely dessert shop featuring Middle Eastern to explore their traditional and fusion items. I had: 1. Affogato 2. Lazy cake - chocolate 3. Saffron ice cream

    Boozlava
    Breana D.

    I was actually blown away by the dessert here. As soon as you walk in and see the display case you can see the thought and intention that was put in to showcase their desserts and the delicacy of it. I ordered a boozlava and it was the perfect size for sharing between two people. To me it was a twist on a traditional baklava. The top was a thin crisp layer of filo pastry topped with pistachios. The entire dessert was crispy, creamy, nutty and delicious. The lady working was also really kind. She let us sample the different ice cream flavors, which are all great by the way. Couldn't recommend this place enough.

    Pistachio, baklava and lotus biscoff were 3 popular flavors
    Yonnie C.

    Came by here today right when they opened at noon. Tried some flavors and ended up getting 1) lotus biscoff - kinda too sweet but you'll like if you enjoy biscoff cookies 2) antep pistachio - this is a must get! So good All are hand crafted and creamy. We got the $9.95 for 2 scoops.

    Loved it! Interesting dessert shop with a mix of ice cream flavors and middle eastern pastries. Shop was located in the center of Orange just off of main street. Went on a random Tuesday night at 8 PM and there was minimal wait/lines. The shop attendant was kind enough to let us sample quite a few flavors. Ended up going with baklava and Biscoff ice cream. The Biscoff ice cream was quite sweet and so was the baklava. But 3 of us split the baklava/ice cream combo so it was the perfect amount of sweet to share. Its WAYY too much food for one person just know. To split 2 or 3 ways it's the right amount of food. Baklava was a bit too syrupy and sweet but still good enough for a bite. Many people got the knefa (?) But that was equally as large and could come with a scoop of ice cream. 4.5 stars but rounding up to 5!

Was in the area this evening after a kids event and grabbed some Cauldron. Still fantastic! Made fresh, super creamy and delicious! My wife got the Puffle with Milk & Cereal flavor, enjoyed it a ton. Kids and I all got mint chocolate chip, VERY creamy with big chunks of chocolate. Wish we had one closer to home! Highly recommend.

We ordered three things; mint chocolate chip, rose, and milk and cereal. All with a bubble waffle cone. The service was disappointing, the guy who worked there seemed like he didn't care and it was just another job. No life to him and was just rude about asking the code for the bathroom. 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.

    This place should probably have two separate businesses on Yelp for review since they currently…read morehave a store front near 4th st market but the Yelp page was also for their food truck. The store front is easy to find as they have a large visible sign showing "CHURROS" near the street. The items can get pricey, as I recently picked up just an ice cream with churros and bag of churros which ended up at $20. There's a $1 charge on credit cards which also seems a bit like charging the customer on any business transaction. The location is a decent size so it could definitely fit groups and such. Unfortunately my visit did not really go well, as after ordering and receiving a buzzer to let us know when the order is complete, we waited for over 10 minutes to have other customers place orders after us and receive their orders before our buzzer went off. Eventually, one of the associates noticed we had been waiting for a while and came to us to ask if we had placed an order already. For some reason, the buzzer was not programmed to our order, and I ended up asking the cashier for my receipt to confirm that my order was placed. This was frustrating as we had originally entered the store as the only guests and 3 other parties had entered the store after us and received their orders before us. Fortunately, the associates closest to us near the pick up order section noticed that we had been waiting for an extended period of time and came out to ask what we had ordered to help us make our missing order. I have no idea how our order was missed but it was not a great experience to wait in a store with no AC (only the front doors propped open for ventilation) and there was no real apology for the mishap. However, we're very appreciative of some of the staff members noticing that we had been patiently waiting for our order.
