So yummy! First time here!…read more I got the medium size in a cup with two flavors. ($6.75) unfortunately they don't allow two flavors for the small size. Coffee Chocolate Chip Perfect coffee flavor and the chocolate chips are tiny, thin, square pieces that just melt in your mouth. I usually don't prefer chocolate chips in my ice cream because it can be so hard in contrast with the ice cream. However, the shape of these chocolate chips makes it melt so much faster and it makes the overall ice cream texture much more enjoyable to eat. Salty Caramel Truffle This was also delicious! However, it was too sweet for my liking. Younger me would have loved it at this sugar level though! Great flavor but just wish it was less sweet. It's caramel though, so the sweetness was kind of expected. Samples I also tried a couple samples. They are quite generous with the amount. Orange Dream Cream - this was ok. Maybe I'll just wasn't feeling like eating a fruity, sorbet flavor. Horchata - this was a pass for me. The flavor was not strong enough. Staff members were super friendly and very helpful! They were also very patient as I decided which flavors I wanted. Inside Very cold! Bring a jacket if you will stay a while to decide like I did lol. It's also HUGE inside! I've never been to such a big ice cream store. They have so many flavors to choose from too! I would go back to try other flavors!

The hard part was choosing which item to get. My wife and I settled on the honeydew parfait and it's exactly what we wanted. Perfect flavor in every bite. You can tell my the high level of customer service and honesty that the same level of dedication is placed towards the preparation of the food. Although we only tried the desserts we noticed the hot food menu with chicken wings and kabobs, etc. and we are definitely coming back for some. There's even a cool arcade machine and board game cabinet to hang out with friends. Business owner said there are no customers here, only family- and it's very true

The customer service was outstanding. he took the time to guide us toward options we would enjoy, and his recommendations were spot on. I ordered the honeydew melon parfait, and it was absolutely delicious. My husband tried the pineapple banana yogurt smoothie, recommended half sweet, and it was perfect as well. Everything was exactly the treat we were looking for, and we truly appreciated the kindness and care we received. Highly recommend!

I visited Carmelita's Kitchen in Rancho Santa Margarita last night with a group of friends, and the…read moreexperience was outstanding. Our server, Chris, was absolutely exceptional. One member of our group has serious food allergies, and Chris went above and beyond to ensure everything was handled properly. He personally spoke with the kitchen, returned with detailed questions, relayed our concerns back to the chefs, and even came back a second time with additional questions from the kitchen team. His attention to detail, professionalism, and genuine concern gave us complete confidence that our friend would be safe. When the food arrived, everything was fantastic. I ordered Carmelita's Combo with the chicken enchilada topped with mole sauce and the corn on the cob. The enchilada was cooked perfectly, the mole had excellent flavor, and the corn was delicious. Every dish at the table received rave reviews. Great food, excellent service, and a team that truly cares about its guests. A special thank you to Chris for making our evening memorable. We are already looking forward to coming back soon.

My friend and I were dropping off my partner at a local pickleball spot and were craving matcha, so…read morewe came across Sabr Cafe! We honestly didn't realize it was tucked inside a religious/community center. There were a lot of people studying there, and the space itself was really open and spacious. We were afraid that we were being too loud so I don't recommend this place to hang out unless you're studying or doing work. We also liked that there was a restaurant next to Sabr, so we ended up getting a quesadilla that was HUGE and was yummy treat to go with our drinks. For matcha, I got the einspanner and my friend got the Cinnamon Toast Matcha. I really enjoyed the einspanner matcha! It was smooth and definitely hit the spot. My only mistake was drinking it around 2 PM because I literally could not sleep the rest of the night haha. Overall, good drinks and a chill place to study. Will definitely come back again and try their other drinks next time!

Love a good sweet treat so my boyfriend and I ordered a few cookies for ourselves. The Benson Boone…read morecookie intrigued both of us and we had to try it. We also saw other flavors that looked good and ordered those as well. My favorite cookie was the lemon cake and my boyfriend was the Reese's peanut butter cup.

You can even tell from the picture that zero effort went into presentation. I ordered this as a sweet breakfast surprise for my sister, and it ended up being such a letdown. For the price, I expected fresh cookies and at least a little care. Total disappointment.

How have I not heard of Chocolate Bliss before? Ever since Sugar Rush shut down, we've been on the…read morehunt for a good chocolate shop. We ended up finding an excellent one in Chocolate Bliss. Service here is top notch. We asked for help since it was our first time and were walked through the history of the shop, the source of the chocolates, and the drink menu. We ended up ordering an almond roca latte and a blue matcha (which I believe is really a butterfly tea latte...?). Both drinks were excellent. I really liked the blue matcha - much lighter taste than green matcha. Not too sweet either. Actually, everything I've tasted so far from this shop hasn't been overly sweet, which is great! There is also a tray of free samples of chocolate, which helped inform our decision to buy a slab of salted caramel pecan and 9 individual pieces of chocolate. The slabs they sell by weight and the individual chocolate they sell by box size. We haven't tried them all yet, but so far, really good! We've had the oreo truffle and the pistachio and the saffron pieces. They've also got quite a bit of other items in the shop too!

Charming vibe, sweet service -- but custom drinks miss the mark…read more Chocolate Bliss is undeniably cute. The decor is cozy and thoughtfully done, and it feels like a place designed for a relaxed dessert-and-coffee moment. The staff is where this place shines. Everyone I interacted with was warm, patient, and genuinely kind. They're knowledgeable about their menu and very open to making custom drinks, which is always appreciated. That said, my experience fell short when it came to execution. I ordered a chocolate mocha, and while they were happy to make it, the result tasted more like watered-down coffee with syrup than a rich, well-balanced mocha. At nearly $9, I was expecting something more indulgent and cohesive. My advice: Chocolate Bliss seems best enjoyed when you stick to their signature or most popular menu items. The atmosphere and service are there -- with more consistency on custom drinks, this could easily become a go-to spot.

Most days my coffee is already at the counter by the time I make it to the register. Nice job guys.

I am writing to report a very disappointing experience my family and I recently had at the 25612…read moreCrown Valley Parkway Ladera Ranch, CA location. The evening before my brother's fiancée's birthday, my parents and I visited the store to order a cake for the celebration. We were assisted by an employee named Aiden. From the beginning, he showed little to no customer service--there was no greeting, friendliness, or engagement during the interaction. Despite this, we continued with the order and specifically requested a fresh cake to be picked up the following day at 3:00 PM. The next day, when my mother and brother went to pick up the cake, my mother noticed that the display cake that had been in the case the previous evening was no longer there. She asked Aiden if the cake he gave them was the display cake. Instead of responding, he simply stared at her and did not answer the question. My brother also noticed the lack of basic customer service and found the interaction very strange and unprofessional. Later that day, we brought the cake home and served it during the celebration. As soon as we cut into it, everyone noticed the cake was very different and tasted horrible. It tasted stale and dry. The strawberries were very mushy and smelled spoiled. None of us finished our cake slices and still have a large portion remaining. The following day, I called the store to explain the situation. A female employee answered the phone and told me she was busy with customers but would call me back shortly to sort out the issue. About 30 minutes later, I received a call back, and it was Aiden again. I explained everything that happened, but once again he showed no concern, empathy, or professionalism. When I asked about my mother's question regarding whether the cake was the display cake, he claimed he "didn't hear" her question. He did not apologize for the experience and simply offered a free slice of cake as compensation. My family and I have purchased cakes from this location several times before and have always enjoyed both the quality of the cakes and the customer service. In fact, my family has owned restaurants and businesses ourselves, so we understand very well how important customer service and quality are in the hospitality industry. This is not the way customers should be treated, which is why this experience was so disappointing to us. This is the first time we have ever had to complain. We were very surprised that a cake we specifically requested to be fresh tasted bad and have been displayed for days. Aiden also mentioned that cakes and pastries can remain out for up to two days, which was concerning given the quality we experienced. We truly loved this location and had always enjoyed coming here in the past. Unfortunately, what could have been a small issue turned into a very negative experience due to the lack of professionalism, communication, and customer care from the manager on duty. Because of this experience, my family and I will no longer be returning to this location in the future. I hope this issue can be addressed so other customers do not experience the same situation.

Despite all the negative reviews I decided to try Cookie Plug since my family and I love cookies!…read more The cookies here are big and thick almost like hockey pucks. Seriously at first I mistakenly thought the name of the store was Cookie Puck (instead of plug) Lol!! It would be a fitting name. When I arrived around 4:30pm (they open at noon) they still had all their flavors and the cookies were fresh being baked that day. The cookie style here is a soft, thick buttery cookie. Some reviews complain about the grease And that's a fair critique since all my cookies were a bit greasy - but that's from all the butter inside them which also makes them soft. If you ask (when I was here the employee protectively offered) they will warm up the cookies for you in the oven which gives them an ooey gooey taste which was amazing! They also have a fridge of drinks like milk & chocolate milk. The best part about Cookie Plug is the unique variety of cookies. I got the S'mores (called Firecracker even though there's nothing spicy about it), a Red Velvet Oreo stuffed cookie called Good Luv and The Pink Elephant which is Strawberry Cheesecake favored and ended up being my favorite despite me traditionally preferring S'mores cookies. Overall I'd give the cookie taste a 3.5. The cookies are 600 calories each and cost $5 a cookie which is a gut punch x2! They do have specials and I got a 4 pack of cookies for $17. Too bad there's no bulk discount on the calories!!! Will Cookie Plug replace Milk & Cookies as my top cookie store in OC? No! But at the same time, I don't think it deserves the low reviews as the cookies are good (albeit not great), the ambiance is fun & hip and the service was friendly!
