    First time hearing about and trying Happy Ice. My 5 year old niece wanted this so I bought her a small one for around $10. Was it worth it ? She didn't even eat half. It melted so fast I guess it was too hot outside. I had a few spoons and it was too sweet and artificial tasting for me. I guess while you are at a touristy place you get whatever you see. The vibes get you lol Not so happy customer service. Unhappy !!!

    I've been waiting to try Happy Ice since I learned about them this summer. Our trip to Disneyland is finally here, and the first dessert we tried was Happy Ice. My sister and I got the banana pudding and strawberry shortcake. Loved them! I loved all the combinations of items in the banana pudding.

    Love supporting black owned businesses! So proud of them for getting into Disney & just in time for summer! Their cart is cute and small, located next to parkside market! Service was incredible, they were so kind and patient when I was ordering, I received my order in less than 5 minutes. Ordered the Time Machine - SO good. Would happily order again & try the other flavors!

    A refreshing little treat located at Downtown Disney! Great for adults and little ones hanging out for the DJ and events by the lawn area! We ordered Cloud 9 but Summer Time was our fav!

    We got the opportunity to stop by Happy Ice while on a trip to Disneyland. We were very excited to try new flavors. We went with the Banana Pudding, and it was so yummy. The ice reminded me of mashed up bananas, while the pudding gave it the creaminess. Mix in that vanilla ice cream and it's just heaven. The line was relatively short and moved quick. All the ladies working were very pleasant. You can see them working together to get the orders out quick. Definitely a stop if you are in the Downtown Disney area or Disneyland. Also we LOVED the color changing spoons. That was a cool little surprise!

    Wow. I remarked how this spot opening up in downtown Disney may have Joe's Italian or Rita's have a run for their monies. After experiencing the craziness (queue that wrapped around the block) that is Joe's Italian ice, having an Italian ice right before heading to Disneyland was chefs kiss and redemption! Ordering is super easy at the kiosk. They take cards including Apple Pay. Pickup is super easy, too. Right next to the kiosk off to the side (less than 5 minutes from ordering). At first I thought $13.95 was steep for a cup of Italian ice. After trying it and feeling quite full afterwards, it's a justified price for a filling treat! I quite liked the way they made the textures stand out so well. From the crumbs of the vanilla wafers, to the pudding, ice cream and banana Italian ice, it was a perfect blend. If only I had enough space to try the peach cobbler joy-lati, too! My toddler got the rainbow rocket kids cup for $8.50. The cup size and scoop did seem a little small for the price, but it was still a hit. Note: their spoons are super cool! Changes color due to the coldness of the ice. Next time, I'll need to make the drive to one of their LA shops to try more of their menu (more joy-lati's please!)

    Summer Time (Kid's Size)

    I was super excited to try Happy Ice since it opened in Downtown Disney a few weeks ago! I came on a Thursday night and it was pretty busy. I saw the line directly next to the store and I think it clogs up the foot traffic a little. We waited maybe 30 minutes in total from waiting in line and also waiting for our ice to be scooped. There were only 2 girls working, one taking orders to get rid of the line and one scooping all the orders. When we ordered, we were deciding on the very limited flavors that they offered and ultimately decided on Summer Time with condensed milk. When we got to the cashier to order, they said that they were out of condensed milk. Bummer, I wish there was a sign written in front letting people know what was out of stock. The kids' size was $8 and they don't offer MK discount. It was a pretty decent sized cup but $8 was pretty expensive. I thought that the ice was extremely soft and there's no ice clumps. I also thought that the watermelon was very overpowering and I couldn't taste the strawberry and mango that was mixed in.

    It's not a snow cone, it's not shaved ice. It's Philadelphia ice and it's the best most refreshing dessert ever!! It's pricey, but that's because it's good ingredients, a nice portion, and my favorite location. I highly recommend you check it out. It'll make you happy! I love the owner and his story too. Happy to support!

    Why yall giving ma dawg a 4.0 and complaining about prices. First and foremost he's in Downtown Disney. Anything in Disney is going to always be $5 more than what you pay outside of Disney so there needs to be no complaints. I salute this black business because my sister has been supporting Happy Ice since they came out and to see him grow his business to Downtown Disney successfully says a WHOLE LOT. I have been itching to try and my sister had sent her anniversary ice cream picture with her boyfriend in the group chat and I knew I had to go when I went to Disney. Anywho worth the money and the price, many of you guys will be quick to go spend $80 on Disney merch and $$$$$ to stay at a resort but not $8. Please. lol but I had the peach cobbler joy lati or something to that caliber and I loved how it tasted like PEACH COBBLER. It was the perfect sweetness, not too overpowering, just the right texture. Great for such a hot day. I was impressed. The service was great. We were greeted I even saw the owner there after we purchased our happy ice it looked like he was coaching one of his employees which says a LOT. But anyways I will always patronize this business and pay the price for it has well. Keep soaring may God continue to be with you

    Picked my own flavors, cherry and watermelon

    Went to get some Happy Ice last night. The line was very short but there was a technical issue so it was a bit of a wait for that. I asked if I can pick my own flavors (didn't care for the ones posted) and they said yes. So I picked cheery and watermelon. I was thinking it was going to be a scoop of each flavor but it was a mix. It was smooth and creamy. Very delicious and will come back over and over again. Just take the monorail and it's right there. They also have this flavored shave ice. I was sitting next to this person FaceTiming someone about it. He was going through all the emotions on his shave ice like, is it worth the wait? He said maybe but when he was almost done, he said it's definitely worth the wait and actually said it was way better than shave ice. I will have to try that one next time. He had the banana one. I never go to dtd for anything but definitely will for Happy Ice

    Happy Ice is finally back for good at Downtown Disney! We stopped by at their soft opening and they already had a lot of business which made me so happy to see. This is a perfect addition to the Downtown Dis sweet treat options. We got the one of everything flavor with condensed milk. It was super refreshing and a perfect way to top off a long night of walking at Disney. Can't wait to go back!

    We really love this place. The ice tasted great and the ice cream in the joy latti makes a perfect contrast of sweet and creamy. We went on a Saturday around 1pm and the wait wasn't too bad at all! It's located next to the stage in downtown disney so there's plenty of entertainment around.

Literally like a Disneyland ride line. As we saw the line we got overwhelmed and almost turned around but asked someone who was just leaving with their dessert how long the wait was and they quoted "20 minutes." We actually waited 40. Glad we did vs ordering for pick up online because once we got to the window the magic started where the staff offered samples and flavor suggestion. I went with mango joe Lati and loved my choice. The frozen custard on top was my favorite part with the mango and the vanilla soft serve underneath. Tasted like my childhood fave orange creamsicle aka half and half bar. My hubby liked the cherry Italian and sons liked their blue Hawaiian and strawberry and creams Joe lati to go (came with cap so I can transport home). Next time will definitely order for pick up at the website & obtain at the window-/ there's a staff at the window to point you in the right direction. There are a couple restrooms for customer use. Saw fireworks while in line. It was a fun experience. Must try. The hype was real.

I have been to other Salt and Straw locations, including the locations in Newport Beach, New York City (Upper West Side), Downtown LA, and San Diego (Little Italy), but the visit I had yesterday at the Anaheim was unparalleled. We entered in at about 5:45 pm. Usually the line at this establishment is lengthy, but we fortunately only had to wait a few minutes before being helped. While in line, I noticed that the store was impeccably clean, and everyone working behind the counter were very pleasant greeting every customer that entered while they were busy assisting the other eager customers. Jacob (the name of the gentleman who helped my fiancé and I select our ice cream flavors) was incredibly patient as we tried about 8 different flavors and went above in beyond in providing us with additional flavors to sample and providing us with his ice cream flavor pairing recommendations. Normally we stick to the more traditional ice cream flavors, but wanted to try something new this visit. We were blown away by the many odd but curiously delicious flavors that were being offered. After tasting the wildly unique flavors (including Gruyere Cheese and Tomato, Arbequine Olive Oil, Rhubarb Crumble with Toasted Anise, and Wildflower Honey and Lemon Chess Pie), Jacob suggested that we pair the Rhubarb Crumble with Toasted Anise and Wildflower Honey and Lemon Chess Pie together. We loved this suggestion, and gladly obliged. Jacob even went out of his way to explain what a Chess Pie was (I had no idea what it was, but now I'm going to scope out a place to try it!), and even asked if we had a preference of which ice cream flavor scoop was stacked on top of the other scoop. What began as a spur of the moment decision to get ice cream on a hot day, turned out to be such a fun tasting experience (all thanks to Jacob!) that left us excited to return and order our next unique ice cream pairing. We're thinking Gruyere and Tomato paired with Albequina Olive Oil, but who knows which tantalizing flavors will be featured upon our return!

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.
