    HB pier

    My favorite place in DTHB. We love grabbing a funnel cake and then walking to the beach to enjoy it along with the view. Very busy every time we go. A must try! Serving is big so for sure you can share it. I always share it w my two daughters.

    Funnel cake and a churro.  Made by hand while you watch!
    Bri S.

    My favorite churro place off all time! Always make sure to stop here anytime I'm parking near main or PCH! Best dessert place in HB! probably So good melts in your mouth practically. The funnel cakes are good too FYI 4.475 / 5

    Yum... Lots of powder sugar!

    One tiny scoop of strawberries for this giant funnel cake
    Dawn D.

    The place was a little dirty but the funnel cake was under cooked and mushy all except around the outside. And for $18.95 they put one little scoop of strawberry sauce that didn't cover half the funnel cake. I didn't realize that the second scoop they were offering was only honey, chocolate, marshmallow gross, none of that goes with vanilla and strawberry. I just wanted more strawberry sauce to cover all of the funnel cake but that wasn't an option, for $18.95!!!!

    Super cold and windy day.. decided to get funnel cake. They weren't busy and the we were served quickly.. totally hit the spot.

    We wanted something sweet to eat after our beach stroll and this was one of the places that was open late. There were three girls working and they all greeted us as we walked in. The inside is small, it was super busy and the music was lit. My friend placed his order and we stood by the entrance table that faces the street to wait. We saw the worker making our funnel cake and it was ready within 10 minutes. We added ice cream and whipped cream on top and mmmm it was delicious! Totally recommend!

    OK, this is my absolute favorite dessert place (I think ever). I've come to Huntington many times and this is always a must stop in my book. Everything on the menu is so good, but their churros are my favorite. Awesome vibes right on Main Street next to the pier. Some other reviews cite poor service but I think they are just always understaffed. Will plan to continue coming back here!

    This review is solely based on service (technically lack of). I walked into the shop, looked at what they had, decided to get a churro, but the guy working didn't acknowledge me since he was texting on his phone. I said "hi" in case he'd somehow not seen me. He replied "hi" but continued texting without any other "sorry I'll be right with you". It felt awkward and very rude, so I decided not to stay. I half expected him to say something as I was walking out. I turned to look as I left and he never looked up from his phone. I have no problem with someone taking a moment for personal time but this guy never indicated he was planning to help me. The only good thing I can say is that it smelled good and they're open late.

    Authentic hand twisted Churro Was fucking raw, they had no line just a lack of giving a shit.
    Nathan L.

    Churro was fucking raw, it's not hard especially when you have literally nobody else in there. Workers don't want to be there and you can tell. Waste of money because I can't eat that.

    The Funnel House is a deliciously simple choice if you're near Huntington Beach's downtown district on Main St. I was craving a brownie sundae and my sweet tooth was more than satisfied. The brownie was warm and gooey and the portion was so big I couldn't even dig into half of the sundae. My boyfriend ordered a single scoop of strawberry ice cream and the young gentleman assisting us added a complimentary scoop. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the staff is friendly, I'd recommend to anyone in the area looking for a good ice cream shop.

    Seeing The Funnel Cake Being Made live was an experience. The Funnel Cake Tasted Fresh and Delicious. I would highly recommend trying it when you are in Southern California.

    Great spot of quick and delicious desserts! Great spot for a late night snack. To go but you can sit out side and eat.

    Funnel Cake with Fruit (strawberry banana) and whipping cream but for an extra charge

    The funnel cake was much needed and I was able to get it late in the night. The service was so quick and the staff are super nice!

I saw the line out the door and thought it must be good especially since they have other locations in Southern California. I tried their 4 scoop sampler with the non dairy coffee ice cream, butter pecan, mocha almond fudge and strawberry cheesecake. The only reason I'm giving this 2 stars instead of 1 is because the mocha almond fudge was good, creamy, chocolatey with a smooth consistency. The staff were super friendly and the place was clean, like spotless. That's where the positives end. The non dairy coffee scoop tasted like the just froze some old coffee, it was bitter and I spit it out. The strawberry cheesecake had weird squares of what I assume was supposed to be cheesecake but tasted more like a gummy with artificial flavoring, those two scoops were thrown out. The butter pecan I finished but it was too sweet, something I'd never thought I'd say, and it melted almost immediately in the 80+ degree heat into sugar water with a piece of pecan in it. As mentioned before the mocha almond fudge was pretty good, perhaps people get that flavor and that's why the line was out the door. I saw some people get shakes so maybe those are better, but I won't be coming back to give it a shot. Cold stone, Mr. Softee, Rori's, McDonald's, Dairy Queen, etc etc all offer better ice cream options. That's this critic's review, until next time, I'll be eating.

Or Hans Christian Andersen's Ice Cream Emporium of Mystery. Honestly, I was too busy eating to verify the name. I ordered a double scoop on a chocolate-dipped cone covered in peanuts. Then, in a stunning display of self-restraint, I ordered another double scoop on a chocolate-dipped cone covered in peanuts. Each one was $12, which sounds expensive until you're standing there holding what is essentially a frozen monument to poor decision-making and happiness. The ice cream was good. Not "I saw God in a waffle cone" good, but genuinely good. Straightforward, tasty, and exactly what I wanted after wandering around Huntington Beach pretending calories don't apply near the ocean. Service was great--friendly, fast, and completely supportive of my quest to consume enough ice cream to alarm a cardiologist. Overall: Good. Would I go back? Absolutely. Mainly because I still don't know the name of the place and need to continue my investigation.

They must use really good ingredients for their ice cream, doesn't feel like a lot of processed stuff. The ice cream was melting as expected and I didn't feel terrible after eating one by myself. It was just refreshing and joyful. They are located on the southern most side of Pacific City. It's rather tucked away. Once you reach the end of the plaza, go in the building and they are immediately to your left. Staff are friendly. Place is clean. They have a lot of flavors, but sadly you need to buy it to try it. I was disappointed, of course, because some flavors seemed really interesting, but I don't dare try something different if in case I end up not liking enough to regret it. There was another ice cream place up north that had the same policy, but they are so confident about the flavors and quality that they will replace your order completely should you not like it. I don't think this place has that kind of policy, which would discourage me from choosing this place compared to their chain competitor just a block away. Maybe there could be a compromise like, try up to 3 flavors only. That way, I can try three new unique flavors but if I really didn't like them I could still have a great experience with a tried and true favorite. Hope the owner seriously considers this because I think they are great and I want them to thrive! Another great thing about this place is that It isn't a big chain and mass produced. It feels personal and feels very special. I admire people who have such a passion for the craft that they invest in it with time and money, so let's support! Especially when the ice cream is this good.

Fun for kids and adults alike. Ice cream options for those who want a different sweet treat. They do have some chairs and tables but if there's a large party it's going to be tough to get a Spot to sit down. If you need to take your cotton candy home make sure to ask for the bag and use the air blower to keep it pristine as you wrap it. The cost won't break the bank. The place is accessible and parking is easy.
