At first I was taken aback with the $12 price as it was $10 a few months ago but it is so good I don't mind the price and it is a pretty big serving you can definitely share between 2 people. The staff are always super friendly and they have a big topping variety. When it's busy it can take a little bit to get your ice cream since it is made right in front of you but that's what makes it worth it!

I did not understand what the "Bango Rolls" were on the menu, but they luckily had some pictures on the wall to show what the final product looks like. They had a bunch of topping options so you could mix and match to your heart's content. We just got the macaron ice cream sandwiches since we hadn't ever had them before (and that's how we found the place), but next time we will definitely try the rolled ice cream. A few small tables lined the wall with metal chairs, so you can sit and eat your ice cream instead of having to take it to-go. If there's one thing I would like to see improved here, it's having cushions on the chairs. Seems like a creative little ice cream shop though, so we would definitely go back.

Great boba spot next to the Ranch 99 in Van Nuys!…read more I stopped by for boba after lunch nearby at Sam Woo. It's a small storefront with a handful of countertop seats along the two sides, so it's not the best spot to hang out with friends. I noticed most people were getting their drinks to go. They have a large menu of drinks, with a helpful list of their top 10 most popular drinks. I got one of them, the large Hokkaido oolong milk tea with half sweetness and less ice, for $6.85. I think I should've gone up a bit on the sugar level, maybe 75%, as it was a bit not sweet enough for me. However, the taste was really good. A bit caramel-y, which is what I've come to expect from Hokkaido milk teas. I come back to this plaza occasionally, so I look forward to my next drink here!

Tried both rolls and overall they were really good. The Missy one was definitely my favorite -- the…read morestrawberry topping and crumble added a lot of flavor and texture, and everything worked really well together without being overly sweet. It felt balanced and had something exciting in every bite. The Punisher was still solid and had that classic warm, soft cinnamon roll flavor with plenty of icing, but compared to the Missy it felt like it was missing a little something extra. Maybe a stronger cinnamon flavor, more filling, or an additional topping to give it the same "wow" factor. Still enjoyable, just not as memorable next to the Missy. Overall, both were fresh, soft, and worth trying, but the Missy stood out as the clear winner for me.

The girl who served us was also really nice and let me try the flavors I wanted. Everything sounded delicious! I opted for the Konafa and it was absolutely delicious. The texture is rich and creamy but not too sweet and the crunch from the phyllo made for the perfect spoonful. I can't wait to go back to try more flavors!

Really enjoyed their ice cream and will check out the Pasadena location. For now, this cart is only open Fridays through Sunday. Love the little touch of a dried rose on top of the ice cream!

"Sunday, Monday, HAPPY DAYS!…read more Tuesday, Wednesday, HAPPY DAYS! Thursday, Friday, HAPPY DAYS! Saturday, what a day..." Don't forget about Sunday! Open 7 days a week in Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles on Ventura Blvd between Cedros Avenue and Van Nuys Blvd. You can enjoy a plethora of options including gluten free and vegan ones from their milkshakes to their coffees, teas to ice creams, churros (the star of the show, of course) and everything in-between! For ice cream their Vegan Salted Caramel & Chocolate Ice Cream is incredible, my fav and first choice - but don't sleep on their Vegan Coconut Vanilla Ice Cream or Vegan Coconut Chocolate Ice Cream. Classic dairy flavors include: Cookies & Cream Ice Cream, Dulce De Leche Ice Cream and Vanilla. Ordering inside is easy peasy at the counter, but H.D.C. does use third party apps like UberEats/Postmates for pickup/carryout as well as delivery. I pop in now and then and most recently after dinner I had a nice post meal treat of churros to go. Water at their water and utensils area with beverage enhancers: sugar, stirrers, etc. Churro Ice Cream sandwich is incredible - best if you can enjoy it right away though I have order deliver twice this year just from craving that Vegan Salted Caramel between two of their delicious churro "bun" - best invention ever! Non dairy milkshakes all day! Though I rarely indulge in those extra decadent and rich dessert beverages - highly recommend you do. Seating inside is cool cozy but warm and chic. You can enjoy things outside as well with some seating. Prices are thoughtful, as is Happy Days Cafe. Open to all from PM to AM, see days for specific hours and times. Come out to Happy Days and have yourselves a hopping good time!!

They apparently make everything in house. I don't have the biggest sweet tooth so I went for crème ice which was dairy free and much lighter than ice cream. It was $7 for a small scoop which was on the more expensive side. In all honesty, this place is okay. Nothing truly stood out to me about it. I was expecting a lot more given it has 4.8 stars and 500+ reviews. It lacked in the overall experience from walking into the door to the flavor itself. I don't think I'd go back, I'd rather just go somewhere else.

Who knew a pop-up dessert place could be this good???…read more Okay, call me a snob, but I believe a dessert location should have four walls and some little colored tables and chairs. My favorite pastry shops and ice cream parlors all fit this description. The idea of chocolate-drenched strawberries doesn't quite match the hustle and street noise you find next to a carnitas or falafel truck. So I drove by this brightly lit, cheerful, stand for almost a year before I decided I had to try it. In a war between my love of chocolate and my love of propriety, my snootiness could only hold out so long. And boy am I glad I caved! When I ordered a Dubai Chocolate Strawberry dessert, I got a big clear cup with layers of cut strawberries, warm chocolate syrup, pistachio syrup, and shredded crispy filo dough, which is like sweet shredded wheat. It all mixed together in a dessert that was TOTALLY DECADENT! They also sell gourmet Dubai Chocolate bars that have the same mix of chocolate, pistachio and filo (no strawberries). These days, I think about this place more than I should. Recently, they were absent from their corner next to Gelson's in Valley Village, and I was so worried they'd moved, I called the owner! He assured me it was only the rain keeping them away. I'll leave you with this thought. There's some amazing ice cream/gelato places around town, some terrific pastry shops, but there's only one Dubai Chocolate Strawberry stand that makes Dubai Chocolate-Covered Strawberries this good. Ya' gotta try it!
