Cauldron is amazing!…read more Used to enjoy the San Diego location frequently but they went out of business a few years ago. 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.

From the ads and pictures everything seemed cool. The way they make ice cream is unique and I'll…read moregive it that. So let's get to it. 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.

Came here after dinner and just got a small ice cream. I ordered the Cookies & Cream flavor and it…read morewas absolutely delicious. I added some toppings, which made it even better. Since we came after dinner, the place was extremely busy and packed. I was already so full from dinner, but I still wanted to stop by because there isn't a location close to me, and I had been craving it. The line was pretty long, and there was a bit of a wait to get our ice cream, but overall it wasn't a huge issue because the ice cream was so good. One thing I wish they would improve is the seating situation. I've noticed that none of the locations I've visited really offer places for customers to sit and enjoy their ice cream. A lot of people were standing along the walls eating, which personally isn't my favorite. My partner and I ended up taking our ice cream back to the car so we could sit and enjoy it comfortably. I think even a small seating area with a few high-top tables, bar stools, or chairs would make a big difference. Other than that, the ice cream was delicious, and I'd definitely come back.

This was my first time trying their ice cream after spotting it on a busy day. I'll admit, I felt a little rushed -- maybe because of the long line outside or because the staff seemed eager to keep things moving. I wanted to test a few flavors, but it felt like they weren't super encouraging about sampling, probably just trying to get through the crowd. That said, the ice cream itself is absolutely delicious! Nothing too crazy to explain -- just solid, creamy, flavorful scoops that hit the spot. My favorites: * Butter Monster * Cookie Monster * Cookie Monster Mint * Ube -- it's bomb! If you're into chamoy, definitely get the mango and add chamoy + tajín as toppings -- total flavor explosion! Only suggestion: the sign could be a bit bigger -- it deserves more attention & Napkins at checkout please!

Absolutely LOVE this place!…read more They have more flavors than any frozen yogurt shop I know, and I especially appreciate the huge selection of no-sugar-added options. There truly is something for everyone. The owner is incredibly attentive and clearly takes pride in the business. The staff is always friendly, welcoming, and genuinely sweet. The topping bar is amazing, with endless choices to customize your yogurt exactly how you like it. And if that isn't enough, they also have a candy-by-the-pound section that is hard to resist. Great flavors, great variety, and great people. This is one of those places we find ourselves coming back to again and again!

To be honest with you, I had not heard of America's cup before, so I was a little bit reticent to…read morecheck it out but since it was the closest thing near me I thought why not. Place had a lot of people in it which is always a good sign for frozen yogurt place, so I grabbed a cup and went and checked out my choices. I opted for Georgia, peach and strawberry shortcake, a very good combination. And deciding to be healthy. I threw some blueberries on top. I will say this, they definitely have a lot of toppings so you definitely have so many choices, you definitely want to come back more than one time. Bottom line? Of all the places that I've seen on 17th Street for a great cup of frozen yogurt America's cup definitely has it going on. I would highly recommend this place and I will be back again!

The employee there welcomed and greeted us, and she was kind. The inside of the small shop looked clean.

The medium size was adequate between me and my partner.

Dad's Donut & Bakery Shop is well-known for its Chocolate Frozen Bananas, Balboa Bars, and hippo…read morecookies. The shop has been a Balboa Island staple since 1960, when it was opened by Joe "Dad" Anderson. According to local lore, a group known as the "Dew Dads" began a tradition in the 1960s of gathering early for coffee and donuts, and that tradition continues today. Some regulars even have their own hooks on the wall for their coffee mugs. The hippo sugar cookies change with the holidays. I visited around Easter, and they had Easter colors. We got a glazed donut for my son, and he loved it. I got a hippo cookie to share; it was a standard sugar cookie, but the little, colorful hippo was adorable. It's a great treat for kids of all ages. We also got a frozen banana covered in chocolate with sprinkles. My son didn't care for it, but I really enjoyed it. I appreciate that Dad's Donuts opens early, allowing visitors to sample their goodies. It felt like a classic mom-and-pop shop, and I could tell many are regulars, as the staff was on a first-name basis with some patrons. Dad's Donuts is definitely a gem on Balboa Island, and their delicious treats and charming, family-friendly atmosphere make it a must-visit.

They have so many unique ice cream flavors as well as sorbets, so there's something for everyone. cookie butter custard: 9.9/10. this is amazing. the ice cream comes with a custard on top (vanilla, chocolate, dole whip, or cookie butter). The cookie butter is amazing. Rich and creamy and flavorful. lychee mochi: 9.6/10. delicious, refreshing, amazing. Does not taste artificial at all and full of mochi toppings mixed in. oreo matcha: 9.0/10. this flavor has a strong matcha flavor and is suprisingly on the less sweet side. I love the flavor and bitterness of this flavor. Only for actual matcha lovers. andes mint: 6.5/10. good mint flavor but too many andes mint pieces for me! wanted more ice cream. not my favorite. Service is amazing. They let you try everything and even encourage it! They are so super sweet :)
