We usually love stopping by Duck Donuts... on Friday night we were in the area after a nice dinner…read moredate and were excited to come back here after a while to share a Blueberry Pancake donut. The interior had a lot of used napkins on the counters and floors but we only saw one employee who was working on a pick up order so she was busy. But then another employee showed up at the front to take our order, very monotone and unfriendly expression. We waited inside, they were chatting for a couple minutes and she forgot what we ordered and had to ask us again. We were the only customers there and only ordered one donut, it was still two hours before closing. When it was ready, the donut itself was a lot smaller than we remembered and very mushy. Overall we were pretty disappointed and the experience brought down our date vibe. Just sad that it wasn't as good as we remembered.

After dinner, our family decided to stop by Beard Papa's for dessert, and it totally hit the spot…read more We ordered cream puffs with the original shell and éclair shell, both filled with vanilla custard, along with a Thai iced tea and Mango Jasmine iced tea. Everything was delicious. The cream puffs were nicely baked with a light, airy texture, and the custard filling was smooth, soft, and not overly sweet or heavy. Just the right balance. The drinks paired really well with the desserts and were refreshing without being overpowering. Overall, it was a perfect way to end the night. Simple, satisfying, and delicious. Definitely a solid go-to spot for dessert.

Bacio di Latte has become one of our family's favorite dessert stops at Victoria Gardens. We've…read morealso visited their Pasadena location, and the quality and service have been consistently excellent at both. Our family has tried the gelato, affogato, and cookies, and everything has always been amazing. My personal favorite is the pistachio gelato. It has a rich, natural pistachio flavor without tasting artificial. They currently have a seasonal strawberry shortcake flavor that is also really good. The gelato is smooth, dense, and incredibly creamy. It is on the pricier side, but you can taste the quality and freshness of the ingredients. Since gelato is denser than regular ice cream, even a small serving is surprisingly filling, so I still feel it's worth the price. They allow you to sample flavors before ordering, which is helpful because they have several great options. There always seems to be a line out the door, but the staff keeps it moving quickly. The shop is clean but has very limited seating, so it's more of a grab-and-go dessert spot. Since it's located inside the Victoria Gardens outdoor mall, you'll need to park in one of the mall's lots or parking garages and walk over. Overall, this is the perfect place to stop for dessert after lunch or dinner at Victoria Gardens. We'll definitely continue coming back.

i absolutely LOVE gelato and had one every day in Italy, so i was really excited to try this place…read moreout since it's a very popular chain. my friends and i came here on a saturday afternoon, and it was definitely packed with a line going out the door, but it moved relatively quickly. the workers were super nice and patient when allowing us to sample as many flavors as we wanted, and everyone was so efficient in making sure that the line moved smoothly. the store itself is pretty small and doesn't have much seating inside, but there are a couple of benches right aside to enjoy your ice cream. my bf and i decided to share a regular sized cup of chocolate pistachio crunch and tiramisu. i was a big fan of the chocolate pistachio crunch, which had huge chunks of chocolate that provided a nice texture with the ice cream! the ice cream itself was really smooth and had a great pistachio flavor. the tiramisu ice cream was also very yummy, but my heart lies with the chocolate pistachio crunch hehe i'd say the gelato here is definitely on the sweeter side, so not what i was used to compared to gelato straight from italy. it's also pretty expensive, with the smallest cup being $8 already and tiny. i do appreciate the workers for putting as much ice cream in the cup as possible tho and not skimping!

I had such a great experience at Bruster's Real Ice Cream…read more Let's start with the staff--because WOW. They are incredible. So helpful, so sweet, friendly, and genuinely professional. I was honestly impressed the entire time I was there. And I'm going to say it... most places run by teens? It's chaos. Attitudes, confusion, zero sense of urgency. But THESE teens? Top tier. Running this place smoother than some fully grown adults in corporate chains. Like... who trained y'all? Because it shows. Everything was organized, the energy was welcoming, and you can tell they actually care about doing a good job. Shoutout to the parents or the training program because they got it right. I'm not a real lover of sweets, but my niece LOVES ice cream so we tried it. Loved the vibe so now when she's down from college visiting this is our treat spot. And the ice cream? Fresh, creamy, and actually tastes like quality--not that overly processed, overly sweet stuff. Worth every bite. This location is doing everything right. Great service + great product = I'll be back. PeriodT

Handel's is always a great place to go whether you're here for dessert, a hot summer day, or just a…read morenormal treat. I think there are a few Handel's in this area so I'm not sure if it's a franchise or a small chain. Maybe it is just a small business. Every time I come here or see them at events, I still get the feeling of small business owner. They have lots of different flavors that rotate every so often. They also offer different cones, toppings, and other treats. The store says their flavors are made fresh every day and they do taste more refreshing than store brought brands that probably have a bunch of preservatives in them. The inside of the store is quiet and usually there's one or two workers inside. If there's any critique, it's that they don't have so much seating. I think there used to be a few chairs in the store but they've either moved them outside or expect you to use the benches outdoors. If you've never been here before, I definitely recommend you try it.

The blueberry crumble was like eating a blueberry muffin top--so yummy. My Ube cookie was good, but tasted a little plain. Felt like it could have used something. They do give you the option to turn their cookies into sundaes and other amazing creations, so maybe we will try that next time!

Would definitely recommend.
