If you're in the area looking for something sweet stop by and check out Sweet Escape! The owner is really friendly and was hand scooping ice cream for us when we came in! They have a lot of flavors and everything we tried was good! Vanilla, chocolate brownie, and cookies and cream! Everything felt homemade and flavors were great. The interior is really cool too. Bring your friends and family and you won't be disappointed read more

I had some time to kill and needed a place with wifi to finish some work on my laptop. I googled around and found this cute little spot. Decided to check it out. Daniella, I believe was her name greeted and helped me decide what I wanted. She even let me sample a few ice cream flavors that were made from scratch in-house. Options sounded so yummy, but I wasn't very hungry. I decided to order a Decaf Hazelnut Latte with almond milk. It definitely hit the spot! Plenty of tables open with plugs, great music playing in the background, and free wifi! Can't go wrong! I would love to return again and try a crepe or some ice cream! read more

I ordered half cookie butter and half honey lavender they were both delicious. I sampled a bunch of different ones but it came down to those two we were honored to be served by the owner Jorel (I hope I got his name right) he answered all of our questions honestly, he had great customer service! I loved the Ambiance, quiet, cute and pink! You can even rent the whole place out for a private event! Definitely coming back and bringing my daughter and guests who come from out of town! read more

I've been here numerous times but it wasn't until I realized that the owner treats his staff horribly when I stopped coming. They used expired/old ingredients and the prices are absurd for the amount of effort put into the drinks/food. The baristas were great but they also agreed on the quality of the place being lower than advertised. I found out through them that the boss is usually in the back playing poker and drinking at his computer. Not a good look. read more

This cafe is very cutesy and girly! Very mellow vibes. I love the feminine decor. A friend and I came here to study and it had nice classics rock/ indie playing in the background. It's super clean. I know this place used to be called Maz Cafe. Now it is called Sweet Escape. The new name sounds better because it feels exactly like that. My friend and I both ordered an Iced Horchata Latte. I had regular milk in mine & my friend subbed her milk with oatmilk. Only a dollar more. It was refreshing. It's only one size as well. We both also ordered their 12.oz açaí bowl. That too was refreshing. The weather out was pretty warm. They have only two options. Regular bowl is 12.oz & a Large Bowl is 16.oz. read more

I ordered the Cali mango raspberry smoothie and the lady who was making my drink accidentally spilled some of my smoothie on the counter and I saw her scoop it and put it back in my cup and proceeded to serve me that drink. My smoothie was also very bland. My girlfriend ordered the monkey business matcha and the worker gave her a whole completely different drink and then when she finally got the correct drink the flavor was too sweet and not good at all. The worker was on her phone that whole time while making our drinks which didn't help the situation. Overall I did not have a good experience along with the drinks being not good. I throw both drinks in the trash. I will not be back. read more

Don't sleep on this place. Been wanting to drop in for months but bad timing had other ideas. Not this time though. I finally made the time and am sure glad I did. God-Daughter and I treated ourselves with some amazing house made ice cream. I had the strawberry and cookie monster on a waffle cone while she had bubble cone on a regular cone. Ice cream was bursting with flavor with a smooth and creamy texture - just the way it should be. This was the perfect way to end a day of running errands in the heat. We treated ourselves to a little bit of a Sweet Escape and I think you should too. read more

You'd never think to find an over-the-top, pretty-in-pink, coffee-plus-ice cream shop in this unassuming plaza off Chapman. It's as if an ice cream parlor hosted a tea party! Lots of pink and gold seating, with cute floral accents and funky framed pictures. The menu is on the left side of the shop, above the ice cream display. I tried a sample of the java chip, and it was good, especially for a sweltering hot day, but I was craving something to sip on for the drive home. I opted for a Matcha Horchata, which seemed like an interesting combo. I wasn't sure what to expect, as I like both matcha and horchata, but I enjoyed this unique fusion! The matcha is surprisingly stronger than the horchata flavor, but the drink overall was balanced and yummy. And I was glad that the cinnamon was not overwhelming. The barista who helped me was patient and helpful in answering my many questions. My drink was made to order rather than dispensed from a cannister, which was nice to see. I'd most likely come back to try seasonal lattes and ice cream concha sandwiches (these were sadly unavailable when I went). read more

I love this place. And what an appropriate name, "Sweet Escape"! I came here on a rainy Saturday, and was immediately transported to a happy, magical state. What a festival of sensations -- from tastes, colors, textures -- every detail was clearly well thought of to elevate your present moment. The Dulce de Leche Gelato was to die for! It took me straight back to South America! The lattes were well crafted, and the pastries were clearly home made and, most importantly, made with love. Whether you are looking for a place to hang out with friends, host a party, or escape from Reality (and what a Sweet Escape!) Do not miss out this Coffee and Ice Cream shop! read more

Excellent and fast service!! Everyone was super friendly. Probably one of the best coffees iv had in awhile.

I booked this venue for a birthday party in August and paid the full amount in advance through Peerspace. Just one week before my event, I received a call from someone named Jorel (who claimed to be the owner) saying my booking was being canceled. He told me that because I booked through a third party, and someone else paid him directly, they were being given priority over my reservation. The way he handled the situation was extremely unprofessional and rude. He tried to blame me for booking through Peerspace--even though the venue was advertised there--and pressured me to move my event to a different day. When I explained that I used Peerspace because that's where I found his listing, he shifted the blame to the person who manages bookings. Ultimately, he told me he didn't care about my situation and confirmed over the phone that he was canceling my event. He later sent a message through Peerspace, using much nicer language, to officially cancel -- but by then, it was too late for me to find another venue in time. This was an incredibly disappointing and stressful experience, and I would not recommend booking this space if you're looking for reliability or professionalism. read more

Sweet Escape - Message from Jorel - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Orange, California

They are using Groupon promotion through their corporate brand to drive in traffic, but refusing the voucher. Voucher is non refundable and the owner has no solution other than "sorry about that". They cook with propane camping stove? Dorm looking toaster oven, novelty popcorn machine, and have a dog walking around behind the counter where they are serving and preparing food. Server coughed while making our coffee and wasn't wearing gloves. Ice machine was dirty, and the place (although "cute"), felt dingy with water damaged ceiling tiles and pretty dirty floors. Not ok, I've been a fan of the other MAZ location, but this store feels like MAZ's red headed step child. I'll be sharing this feedback with whoever owns this brand, what a waste of time for a very lack-luster first visit to this location. Won't be back, get ahold of Groupon and get your store out of their marketing campaign, scammy as hell guys. Bye Felicia read more

Came in because a friend saw their Instagram post on social media. We thought some cute place for brunch but really great place to host an event or small birthday. Not too many food options but there is paninis available. The drinks are delicious. They have gelato too! Photo backdrops and decor are great. Huge parking lot. Would come I. And rent for a birthday, bridal or baby shower or any small intimate fun ladies night. The service was great. They also have some catering options with a cute cart. Check them out! read more

How does orange have so many good ice cream shops? This was something that never occurred to me until I had a little girl who loves ice cream. We discovered this particular ice cream shop when my daughter wanted an after school ice cream. We have been to a few of the other mom and pop shops around Orange and they all offer a unique experience. This one is definitely luxe. My daughter had a cake batter ice cream in a waffle cone. Anticipating the sugar rush to come, I just had an ice Spanish latte. Both were delish and the perfect sweet afternoon fix. The inside was so cute! I could see it being a fun date spot or stop with your girl friends. The prices weren't too bad either. I will likely bring my daughter back for the occasional sweet treat! read more

Nice quiet place. Reminds me of a small business that pretty comfortable for people to study and hang out at. It's probably new which is why I didn't see that much people at the time I went. They do have shorter hours so make sure that you take a look if you want to stop by for coffee. They have a lot of selections for ice creams and you can probably get some nice Instagram pictures as well. Prices seem reasonable and easy to find parking. Check this out if you are looking for somewhere to try new coffee. Not sure how it compares to the other location in Santa ana, but this is nice as well. read more

This coffee shop is so cute and relatively new! I think not a lot of people in the area know about it. The staff was very helpful since it was my first time there and was very welcoming. I tried the MAZ latte and it was very good, it kind of tasted like a peanut butter latte but really sweet. The little peanuts in there added a nice crunch but the straws that they provide are too small and sometimes the peanuts get stuck and it makes drinking it a hassle. I hope in the future they would decide to switch to a bigger straw or a straw-less lid to reduce plastic waste! This location also opens at 10am, the timings on Yelp and Apple Maps are wrong so just keep that in mind when you plan your visit if you are an early coffee drinker. Other than that, I would recommend this small business and I'm definitely coming back to try more drinks. read more

I have only been here once but I had a great experience. I would love to come back to try other coffee options. I ordered the mazapán iced coffee and I loved it. It's not overly sweet, just enough.. and it has little chunks of mazapán in it. Even though I'm not the biggest mazapán fan, I loved this drink. The decor inside is so cute. They have beautiful seating areas and good service. They also have other dessert options besides their iced coffee. read more

Try a few flavors! Pick the ones he makes. Yum! Cute place in a not so cute shopping area but worth the stop in there.

We finally came to this little cafe and ice cream spot. The decor is super cute and chill to have a coffee date with friends and family. Cute spot to stop by and enjoy a good coffee or some delicious ice creams. we ordered three blended drinks. One was the Mazapan frappe and the horchata frappe and they were both delicious....freaking bomb. The customer service is amazing and the owner is very sweet and welcoming. Sweet Escape read more

Beautiful, local, little coffee shop! I am local to the neighborhood and was super excited to try this new cafe out. I believe the pink aesthetic attracted me there lol I would 100% recommend the Maz latte for any newbies!! Since it is more of dessert coffee I chose to add in an extra shot in my latte. A small cup has one shot, the medium cup has 2. They also have milk alternatives, oat milk is the best!! Alex was very friendly & was able to make me 2 delicious lattes for my first try!! I will definitely be coming back!! Thank you guys! #supportsmallbuisnesses read more
