The gelato is velvety & soft with prominent flavor profiles. It's tasty. (Important Note: Bring cash. Card has a small additional fee, about 3.5% extra. Also, there's no flavor sampling.) I arrived at Il Gusto (West Covina) on Monday (around 7:29pm). This location shares the busy parking plaza by 85 Degrees (West Covina). Fortunately, it was easy to find parking this evening. Staff is professional and helpful. Staff worked quickly, and staff answered all my questions. Line went very fast despite a group being ahead of me. As mentioned, I ordered the Medium Cup (2 Scoops - $8). I selected a milk chocolate scoop and a cookies-flavored scoop. Portion sizes are fair and adequate for its quality. The flavors are delicious. The milk chocolate scoop reminded me of rich, dark chocolate milk. Its consistency felt very velvety, and its strong chocolate flavor almost teetered towards chocolate brownie territory. The cookie-flavored scoop was very tasty as well. This scoop flowed smoothly, and I happily enjoyed the soft cookie chunks within. This had a milder taste, but it felt very satisfying. This gelato was not icy; rather, it had delightful flavors while flowing like chilled silk. Concerning ambiance, Il Gusto (West Covina) shows genuine effort. The location is very clean and well-ventilated (refreshingly chill). I also enjoyed the Elvis Presley music. However, the music was occasionally drowned out from the loud electronic buzzing/humming sounds from the kitchen's containers. Also, some portions of the walls and floors looked scuffed with black marks. Il Gusto (West Covina) is also fairly small. It has three reflective tables inside; customer-only restroom; and three nearby shaded tables outside. Overall, I had a pleasant experience at Il Gusto (West Covina). Its prices are adequate, the gelato is a good quality, and the staff is hardworking & helpful. If nearby, I recommend. 4.6 out of 5

Ironically, Churro Boss (Covina) offers better quality ice cream than churros. I arrived at Churro Boss (Covina) on Sunday (around 2:35PM). Staff is very welcoming and attentive. Staff speaks English and Spanish. Staff answered all my questions. I ordered the Churro Sundae ($10). This dessert includes one scoop of ice cream and two six inch churros. I selected the Chocolate Malted Crunch ice cream scoop. The entire dessert was ready in eight minutes and 16 seconds. The dessert arrived picturesque. The Churro Sundae ($10) is attractive and fairly large; however, its taste is underwhelming. Although it felt like the churros were made-to-order in the backroom, the churros tasted bitter, chewy, and overcooked. These churros also lacked sweetness. Rather, these big churros tasted like chunky breadcrumbs. Fortunately, the Chocolate Malted Crunch ice cream scoop tasted delicious! It had an addictive crumbly texture. The ice cream also carried a chill and creamy chocolate flavor. Regarding ambiance, Churro Boss (Covina) is lackluster. It feels empty. The only seating is one long counter which had splotchy dried stains and crumbs. The location also has no restroom. Customers need to use their bottle of hand sanitizer or napkins if searching to clean their hands. There's two electric wall sockets in the far corner. And steady country music played in the background. Churro Boss (Covina) tries to be be modern and minimalistic. Overall, Churro Boss (Covina) offers tasty ice cream and pleasant service. Unfortunately, its churros are overpriced and somewhat unpleasant. If searching for some tasty ice cream, this location holds potential. 3.5 out of 5

There was only one girl working when we got there but she took our order and it came our pretty quickly! Theres seating right in front of the order/pick up windows as well. The smores in the smores flight are smaller than their regular smores which i like! I also love that theres a little size chart to show you the size difference. We got the funky monkey, cookies n cream, and samoa smores and the samoa one was my favorite! The strawberry stuffed matcha cookie was also very good and well stuffed. Probably wouldn't come back too often since i dont have that big of a sweet tooth but it definitely hits the spot when you're craving.

This is now called " Flora Bakery & Tea"…read more This placed was called "Lucky Sakura" before when it was first opened in 2021-2022. It is located in the Tokyo Central plaza near the Dunkin donut stores. Plenty of parking because it shared with a whole bunch of stores in the strip mall. Regardless of change of owner or the change of name, this place is always known for its mochi with stuffings and cute design. You can always customize your preference or have to custom make for you. The difference is probably they have less variety of food now, just mochi and cakes. Flora Bakery & Tea has been in business for almost a year. The quality of mochi is still great, size is still big and cost is still kind of pricey. You get 3 for $20. The exterior & interior design of this store is pretty with flowers and cherry blossoms ( like a garden ) feeling. It has an area where you can sit outside or inside to chitchat and eat your dessert. They have many kind of options. Different cartoon and different stuffings in there for example, strawberry, green apple, peach, Oreo, mango. Each one has a very good taste to it. Highly recommended for dessert place and there isn't many if any of these kind if store around in LA / Orange county.

Thought it was a bit odd but now in days it seems like little spots do this. We came closer to 7 pm so they didn't have a lot of baked goodies but totally understandable. We did end up getting drinks and the drinks were delicious. The kind and lovely cashier told us that their drinks are good and that she'll be happy to see us back. Well she was right! We got the strawberry lemonade and the horchata coffee and they were delicious! We can't wait to come back at an earlier time to try the other baked goods.

It honestly feels like stepping into a castle floating in the clouds. The staff/barista was incredibly friendly and helpful. He gave thoughtful recommendations and made great adjustments to the drink based on what I ordered. You can tell he really cares about getting it right. The drink itself came out looking so cute -- and tasted just as good. Perfect balance of flavors without being overpowering. Honestly, next time I might skip the toppings altogether because the drink already shines on its own. No boba needed when the base is that good. Such a fun vibe and a solid spot I'd happily come back to.

I tried the ube, which was a little too sweet for me, so I went with pistachio instead. The pistachio was good, but the real pistachio topping they crush and sprinkle on top actually made it so much better and added a great flavor and texture. We also got the vanilla with no toppings and thought it was a little plain, so we agreed the toppings probably make the ice cream better. The employees were friendly and offered us a menu while we were deciding. They also have cute claw machines you can play, which adds a fun little touch. We didn't try them, but it was fun to sit, enjoy our ice cream, and chat. They didn't rush us out, which we appreciated. Overall, a cute spot with friendly service.

I ended up just ordering one beer. The gentleman who told the cashier that he couldn't help me on the beer wasn't friendly. The signage on the pricing was a little confusing. I sampled the ube cereal malt and liked it. When I got the actual flight, it tasted different so I think the beer altered the taste. We mistakenly thought they served us the other ube coconut flavor. It turns out that the ube cereal malt has coconut as well. The ube flavor wasn't as strong as I'd have liked. My favorite flavor was definitely dulce flavor. Coffee was good and pistachio was ok.

This is not the place for subtle sweetness. If you're ordering churros, you're committing to dessert, and they absolutely deliver. The cajeta sauce is the star. It's rich, caramely, and honestly worth the trip alone. The guava sauce is also solid if you want something a little fruity to balance the sugar. I did find the guava to be a bit sweeter than the cajeta. Service is always super friendly, and the storefront is cute. It's such a great post-dinner stop when you're walking around downtown Covina. Street parking can be hit or miss, but there are plenty of nearby lots and parking structures, so it's never a real issue. I would 100% go back and will absolutely keep bringing people here.
