HiveXO is a tiny little boutique on an island in a parking lot near Salt Creek Beach in Southern Orange County. They sell small items and jewelry and things like that. They also sell vegan and dairy free ice cream sandwiches and that is what this review will focus on. It is very hard to find a gluten-free cookie sandwich. Let's be real, the cookies don't usually hold up! The good is that the sandwiches are very large and appropriately cookie sandwich sized and that they have multiple flavors on any given day. You cannot guarantee that your flavor will be there as the sandwiches are prepackaged and sold according to the batch they have made for that day. Fresh, but not versatile. For my vegan and gluten-free people, these are great because you will stay healthy and have a sweet treat. Downside is sometimes products in this vegan gluten-free category can have a bit of an aftertaste, and even though my strawberry cookie sandwich was tasty, I did leave a bit of a film and a bit of an aftertaste. Overall, I, appreciate what this business is doing and maybe once a summer will grab a sandwich. read more

We were in south county for a tennis match and lucked out going to this spot for a sweet treat. It's tough to find gluten free non dairy desserts, so I checked out Yelp to find this GEM! We were expecting more of a typical ice cream shop and were confused by the location and size, but you know what, size doesn't matter. We ordered two ice cream sandwiches (thank you to a reviewer that said she wished she ordered her own). I had lemon which was the perfect balance of sweet and tart and left my tummy with blissful satisfaction. My husband had the chocolate peanut butter and he didn't speak for the entire 10 minutes devouring every last bite and then I couldn't stop him from speaking raving about what he had just eaten. We can't wait to come back and will happily make the drive for this deliciousness. read more

Staff: The lady was so very nice. My favorite thing about my visit is the payment kiosk didn't have the VERY frustrating guilt tip question. The device merely asked for payment which made me so very happy. Quality/Quantity: They had a bunch of clothes, jewelry, and various ice cream options. The ice cream sandwiches were a high quality with organic ingredients which again made me so happy. These babies were huge and packed with delicious ice cream inside of a delicious cookie. Value: Not bad at all. Overall: I really enjoyed the spot. Great ambiance, plenty of parking, a few tables to sit at, and good service. Pro Tip: Easy to miss as it looks like a pop up store so you wouldn't even know they sold ice cream if no one told you. read more

Delicious gluten and dairy free ice cream sandwiches!!! I got salted caramel and could cry with how good and rich it was. So yummy and couldn't even tell it was gf/df :)))) read more

Very cute little kiosk that sells unique goods and yummy popsicles! We really loved the unique flavours and the owner was so nice. We tried root beer, lavender lemonade, vanilla chai and raspberry plum basil for the popsicle flavours. I appreciated that they had both dairy and non-dairy options and there were plenty of varieties of both. Our favourite was the root beer which had great flavour and a nice creamy center- like a root beer float on a stick! We had them on a sunny SoCal January day and will be back again! read more

HiveXO - Clockwise from the top: vanilla chai, lavender lemonade, sea salt caramel ice cream sandwich, root beer popsicle, and raspberry plum basil. - Desserts Near Me - Dana Point, California

Such an amazing shop! Jen is the best; she helped me pick out amazing presents for my Mom. Will definitely be going back.

If you're looking for a sweet treat that checks off all the boxes (delicious, vegan, gluten-free, artisanal), then look no further, HiveXO is the place. This quaint little shop looks like it could be found on a cobblestone corner in a European village - rather than off a busy street in OC. Let's get down to brass tacks : I was lead here by my sweet tooth and I was overjoyed to discover that they have all kinds of treats for those with dietary restrictions. I got the "special" shortbread cookies ice cream sandwich (with coconut milk ice cream). And it WAS special ! Enormous in size, a true marvel of design, topped with frozen strawberries; it was so delicious. I *might* already have plans to return tomorrow... read more

Cute little stand at Salt Creek Beach across from the Ritz. Sells unique giftware and the most delicious popsicles and ice cream sandwiches. My kids love the sandwiches and my go to popsicle is mojito flavored - light and refreshing. Great treat after a day playing at the beach. read more

Our favorite little spot to pick up yummy popsicles & ice cream sandwiches! Their ice cream sandwiches are all vegan, with a generous amount of ice cream & soft cookie. I love that their "sweets" are not overly sugary, and highlight their other incorporated flavors. Popsicles are available in dairy and non-dairy variety and are also yummy! Come here to shop the array of jewelry & goods or treat yourself to tasty ice cream... you won't be disappointed! read more

What a gem! Great non-dairy and gluten-free ice cream sandwiches! I say this as a non-gf person, I genuinely enjoyed their peanut butter chocolate chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwich, as well as their strawberry shortcake ice cream sandwich. Have had alot of non-dairy "artisan" ice creams around the Southland and these are some of the best. Cookies not overly sweet and seem to be designed to do their job, holding the ice cream in without getting mushy, but also taste good on their own. They also have popsicles, but we did not try them this time. Would definitely recommend and we will definitely be back! read more

The ice cream sandwiches bring me back again and again. Always new flavors. All gluten free!

DELICIOUS POPSICLES! This was great after a day at the beach! The owner was so so nice! Will be back

The Hive gives 50% proceeds of sales to my child's school on Mondays so I decided to check them out. It's a small shop near Pain du Monde at the corner of PCH and Niguel. It's a little easy to miss but there is parking in front of it. The popsicles are all natural. We tried the strawberries and cream and cookies and cream. The strawberries one was not as flavorful but not like it was bad either. When I tasted the cookies and cream the flavor popped out! They had many unique flavors to try like Thai tea! It's a cute place that also sells local and band made items. read more

Yummy! Fun cute little stand to visit if you're just starting your day or ending a fun one outdoors. Sister and I wanted to leave the hotel and go on a little walk so I found this place on Yelp and I'm glad we did. We only went for the ice cream sandwiches, but she sells a bunch of cute accessories and trinkets. In general the shopping plaza this stand is in is worth exploring at least once in the area. Will definitely try it again on our next visit. We got the salted caramel and really enjoyed it. It being dairy free was a nice touch. read more

A hidden gem a short walk away from Salt Creek Beach Park at the Ritz Carlton! Got the Daily Specials: Snickerdoodle ice cream sandwich with vanilla ice cream and Oatmeal cookie sandwich with vanilla ice cream and chocolate chips. Both were delicious and made with good ingredients listed on the packaging. Our only complaint was that the oatmeal cookie was a little bit tougher/ harder to bite than the snickerdoodle, which was super soft. We liked the fact that the sandwich was premade and frozen ready to eat. The sandwich kept its integrity and avoided issues that build-your-own ice cream sandwich places usually have, like ice cream melting too quickly or exploding out the other end after taking a bite. Would definitely come back to try the chocolate chip cookie sandwich or the popsicles! read more

I've tried quite a few vegan dessert places and let me just say they usually fall flat in some regard. Ice cream not creamy enough, cookie not chewy or too crunchy, etc but this place I swear it is as good as the best of them. I was surprised. I'm not vegan and I have regular cookies and ice cream all the time and I can safely say I could switch to this with no issues. The lavender and the lemon in that cookie were not just hints of that flavor they went all in and it was fantastic. They complemented the whole combination between the creamy cold vanilla (made with coconut I believe) so amazingly. I usually review more on Google but I had to throw one here on Yelp for this place it is a must try. So many good flavors we are definitely coming back for more and bringing our friends. read more

We were exploring Dana Point on a fine Mother's day Sunday Funday and craving something sweet to enjoy by Salt Creek Beach park. The Kiosk Shop is located in the corner and should be able to drive up and order straight out of their window.
