    First timer! Lots of free street parking and also a paid lot in the back. Small shop with a few tables and chairs. The gentleman assisting us was super friendly and let us taste before making a final decision. The banana cream pie, strawberry cheesecake, lemon sorbet, and chocolate were all SO GOOD. Great price too compared to the other places. Can't wait to try the rest of the flavors. Til next time!

    My family and I were visiting from out of town and found this place with good reviews on Yelp. There was only one person working, so it was a bit of a wait but she worked at ease. She mentioned that the owner is Filipino and makes the ice creams herself. Amazing! The mango sticky rice flavor and banana cream pie are a must try! I would definitely return for these!

    My friends took me here and I was shocked and how much I loved the Banana Cream Pie flavor. I usually cant finish ice cream scoops but it was so delicious I ate the whole thing! Definitely my new favorite ice cream flavor.

    After dinner, we stopped by Sweet Scoop Homemade Ice Cream for dessert. It's not a big shop, but the ice cream was surprisingly delicious. The server was very friendly and happily offered us samples of the flavors we wanted to try. After tasting a few, we decided on Ube and Pistachio. Both were super delicious and not overly sweet, which we really liked. It was a perfect little sweet treat after dinner. We almost wanted to try a few more flavors, but we were already very full from dinner. There's always a next time! We will definitely recommend it to friends and look forward to visiting again soon. I can't wait to try some of the other flavors, especially Strawberry Cheesecake

    We stopped by on a warm winter day. It's a small cute shop. There are parking in the front and pay-app parking. Sweet scoops makes homemade ice cream and you can taste the richness and creaminess in it. Sweet Scoops does offer samples! I tried the seasonal flavor, which was pecan pie and the banana cream pie. Both flavors were good but I had my eyes on others. We ended up buying three flavors. I got a single, which can split in two different scoops of ice cream. I got the Coffee with chocolate and strawberry cheesecake and the hubby got mango with sticky rice. I must say the mango with sticky rice was really good and resembled the real dessert. For both of my flavors, the strawberry cheesecake didn't have much cheesecake about it but still good. However, I love the coffee with chocolate! I can eat a quart of it! They don't sell milkshakes only scoops of ice cream are available. Overall, great ice cream flavors and a great place for dessert in the area.

    Good ice cream, friendly staff, and quick service. We went on a weekday night and located in downtown Fullerton. Great variety of ice cream and chose Ube ice cream in a waffle cone. Everyone was good and would definitely come back to try different flavors!

    We got the Mango Sticky Rice and Banana Crème. Their flavors are so bold, made with the raw ingredients, and very unique -- which we loved. We also loved that we could sample them before our family decided which duo combo we wanted. The decor was very simple and minimalistic, and service was good. And they were able to address any allergens as well.

    Cute little shop in downtown Fullerton! It's not very big. Two tables inside. They do have a good variety of flavors though. The cookie butter immediately caught my eye! I love cookie butter! Anything cookie flavored is my favorite. This one had my name all over it. My husband wanted this one too, but he went with a different one lol I loved the cookie butter! It was so good! It had chucks in it. Very sweet. Super rich and satisfying! 10/10 My husband got the cheesecake flavored ice cream. I think it was a strawberry cheesecake. He loved it! He tasted a bit of mine and he liked the cheesecake more. They have yummy ice creams! Service was good. Pricing is on par for ice cream.

    The food here is mostly ice cream! This family owned ice cream shop is super cute and love that they have their own homemade flavors! Service was great and they provided samples of their flavors! I got the mango sticky rice and dole pineapple! A regular is also 2 scoops of ice cream!! This combo goes great together and I recommend going here for a nice treat! TIP: There's no restrooms here! There's street parking nearby on N Pomona Ave!

    Reminiscent to places like Wanderlust, Sweet Scoops has some fun Asian flavors with a strong homemade style. We sampled a bunch of flavors and settled on a few favorites like chocolate, cookie butter, and graham. 4 stars because the flavors felt a little muted and they only offered giant scoops. But the girl working the front was sweet despite being solo on a busy night. Very limited seating and parking is DTF so you're betting on street parking. All in all I'd come back when I'm in the area, but I wouldn't make a special trip here.

    Now that the weather is getting hot, the craving for a really good ice cream spot is going to be in high demand! I got to try this place out, which is located in downtown Fullerton. It's a very simple Filipino style ice cream shop, you can just tell from the flavors. I always like to get the flavors that are a little bit more unique or harder to find. I sampled their ube but I did not think that it was that great. It was a little bland and watery. And also tried a few others but nothing about it really stood out. I finally got their strawberry cheesecake, their sticky mango rice, and Nutella. I usually love little stand, a lot of ice cream shops like this, but I believe that their ice cream lacks creaminess and good dense flavor. It tasted more like the brands you buy in grocery stores that become a little bit icy. All flavors I got were just "eh", nothing I thought about after I finished and left the store.

    I don't understand the high reviews. Does Fullerton not have a better ice cream spot? Sweet Scoops isn't bad but it definitely was not a 5 star place in my opinion. They had basic flavors, except for maybe like black sesame. You also cannot see the ice cream. It's all behind the counter but they do allow for sampling. I thought it was funny that their sampling spoons were nicer than the cheap wooden spoons we actual got when we ordered. I got their vanilla and pistachio ice cream. Both were mediocre. I also ordered a peppermint hot chocolate that took more like 30 minutes to make. I had finished my ice cream before my drink was done. That was annoying. There was one girl working that weekend and she had no urgency. We had to wait for her to serve a group before us and that took a long time. We were a group of 4 so it also took awhile until we got our ice cream. Parking also isn't great because it is downtown. Honestly I'll be honest and say I won't be back. This little ice cream shop is okay if you are walking in the area but it's not worth it to go there just for this spot. Nothing about it stands out to me.

    I came here for a quick dessert and to hang out with some friends after dinner. It's small but there's an area to sit and hang out. I enjoyed the unique flavors they had and that they offered samples as well. I picked the coffee chocolate chip and the cookie butter flavors and they were delicious! I wish they offered more vegan flavors in the future!

    Continuing my quest to find the yummiest macarons in OC brought me to Sweetheart's Dessert Lounge…read more From their Yelp photo gallery I was excited to see that they offer quite a few flavors. But first, let's chat about how welcoming the owner is. She was very sweet and happy to share info about her business: she is one of three family members that own and run the shop; her sister does most of the baking; she's created a space that encourages people to stay and relax by having some books and games available that they can borrow while they enjoy their treats. I love that!!! So I came to the Lounge specifically for the macarons (which is one of the few things they source from an outside vendor). There are so many flavors to choose from that I ended up with a 6 pack ~ pistachio, rose, earl grey, taro, almond, and raspberry. The cookies were perfectly crunchy on the outside yet nice and tender in the middle. I was surprised to find some of them had more of a paste filling instead of the traditional creme filling. The pistachio, rose, and raspberry macarons were the only ones in which the flavors were actually distinguishable. Otherwise there was nothing much thst made any of them really stand out. The very pleasant surprise for me was their peaches & cream crumble. It was SO good! Not overly sweet, with juicy peaches, a delicate cream, and a crumble that was buttery and spiced to perfection. This is easily shareable with 2-3 people, but I unashamedly finished the whole thing by myself. Now before you go thinking that I had ALL the treats in one sitting, I did not lol. I did pace myself and broke it down to 3 tastings. Anyway, ending it on a very happy note, I'm already of dreaming of having another peaches and cream crumble that I may or may not share with a friend. And next time I'm there, I also have my eye on their Dubai chocolate strawberries and they're NYC cookies. More than one return visit is definitely in order!!

I got so many pastries. There were no misses. My favorite of the bunch was the blueberry cake. The cake wasn't too sweet, was moist, fluffy, and tasty. I enjoyed the matcha cheesecake, garlic sea salt bread, and raspberry cruffin as well. I also grabbed an egg bacon bread and regular sea salt bread to-go for future breakfasts. Warmed up, these were great in the morning! To drink I had the Banana Pudding Matcha Latte which was not too sweet and yummy! Good matcha flavor and the banana pudding was creamy. Mixed together, it was good. I also enjoyed the crunchy bits in there as well as the real banana slices. I got it at the small size, but the portion was generous. It went well with the pastries. There's some inside seating and tables as well as a bathroom available. There is lots of free parking around the bakery. I went in the afternoon on a Sunday and it was still packed! I love how the bakers were constantly baking even in the afternoon, so they brought out fresh batches of their pastries. Overall, a great bakery and I would recommend it to anyone visiting the Fullerton area.

The variety is definitely one of the strongest points here. We tried the Matcha Cruffin, Onion Cream Bread, and Three Cheese Bagel. The Onion Cream Bread was the best of the three. The cream was light and balanced well with the bread, but the onion flavor was pretty much lost. I could barely taste it. The Matcha Cruffin was disappointing. There was matcha powder on top, but absolutely no matcha filling inside. I'm not sure if they changed the recipe or simply missed the filling in ours, but for something sold as a matcha cruffin, I expected an actual matcha presence beyond the topping. The Three Cheese Bagel, made with cheddar, cream cheese, and mozzarella, had good flavor but the texture was much too hard. We were dining in and had it warmed up, yet the bread was still tough and the cheese inside had already hardened. Service was fine, but nothing stood out. Overall, great selection and a nice space, but the pastries we tried were inconsistent.

SERVICE: 9/10 Great customer service! Upon arrival, the staff member who helped me was very nice. I was indecisive about what to order, so I really appreciated that she gave me a rundown and some suggestions on their most popular dishes. Most importantly, I appreciated her concern about my dessert melting by the time I got back to my hotel. If it wasn't for her and her advice to order the dessert frozen, I wouldn't have known and probably would've ended up with a deconstructed dessert. The way she packaged my dessert was also very helpful and considerate. AMBIANCE: 9/10 Definitely a cute place, and I can see this being a great go-to spot for groups. I loved how the back seating area had so many Polaroids plastered all over the walls. There are different types of seating depending on what you're in the mood for, and each seating area has a different vibe. There's also plenty of outdoor seating if you want to enjoy the weather while having your dessert!
