    Cauldron is amazing!…read more Used to enjoy the San Diego location frequently but they went out of business a few years ago. Was in the area this evening after a kids event and grabbed some Cauldron. Still fantastic! Made fresh, super creamy and delicious! My wife got the Puffle with Milk & Cereal flavor, enjoyed it a ton. Kids and I all got mint chocolate chip, VERY creamy with big chunks of chocolate. Wish we had one closer to home! Highly recommend.

    From the ads and pictures everything seemed cool. The way they make ice cream is unique and I'll…read moregive it that. So let's get to it. We ordered three things; mint chocolate chip, rose, and milk and cereal. All with a bubble waffle cone. The service was disappointing, the guy who worked there seemed like he didn't care and it was just another job. No life to him and was just rude about asking the code for the bathroom. The mint and chip is basic. Nothing too much about it. My kids like it, so I got it. Average 3/5. The rose ice cream tasted like a rose, it was pretty good and very floral. The disappointing part is I was hoping the ice cream would be shaped like a rose as depicted on the picture. Nope, just a scoop and left it as is. 5/5 for taste and 0/5 for presentation. The milk and cereal one was actually pretty good. Especially with Frosted Flakes in it. It literally taste like cereal. 5/5. I would give it a higher star if the service complimented it and th presentation of the rose ice cream did.

    I saw this place on yelp couple months ago when my boyfriend and I wanted to get some gelato late…read moreat night, but we weren't able to until I came here with my sister on our way back from the outlets at orange. The inside of the shop look so cute and decorative. She got the cherry blossom strawberry chicken and I got the matcha pig. It was very tasty and delicious! We both finished them in minutes. Will definitely come here again!

    Location - right in the middle of Little Saigon, good plaza with plenty of parking. I haven't been…read moreback here in years, but finally came back and brought a friend. He got a pig with piglet in butter pecan and milk & oreo flavors, and I got the rose shaped one in black sesame, Pandan mung bean coconut, taro coconut, and durian. Gelato itself is delicious (texture, flavor, sweetness level, everything hits the spot!), I love the selection and variety of all the flavors and all the flavors were delicious too! Prices were fair too, not insanely jacked up and overpriced - especially since I love the unique characters too, which are absolutely adorable! Their attention to detail is amazing! Service is not great though. Only reason I docked a star. They feed into the stereotype of the Vietnamese being cheapskates. They're very stingy with samples - and I'm a paying customer, my friend and I were each getting one. I had tried Pandan mung bean coconut, black sesame, and when I asked for Durian was when the guy started making comments so I had to go ahead and order (didn't like that though). I wanted the rose (since it allowed 4 flavors), and the guy there warned me how the rose won't look that pretty with 4 colors - I said that's fine, I want a lot of flavor options. Also note that the staff speaks fluent Viet - I spoke to them in Viet (southern region accent). Overall my friend and I had a good experience here. We'd still recommend them and will likely come back!

    Han's is one of those little slices of what life used to be, it really brings me back to getting…read moreice cream as a kid and looking into the freezer for my next treat. I truly love ice cream parlors and am glad Han's does well and happens to be right down the street from where I live. The service is always friendly, they always answer any questions and are attentive the whole interaction. The store itself has a good amount of seating with the neon signs glowing in the background. The smell of waffles cones lingers in the air as you enjoy your dessert. I will say I have only been to Han's for ice cream, this review bears no criticism on the food itself, however it does look good. The ice cream, from the flavors I've had are well made, smooth and creamy, not a single ice crystal to be found. The variety would be my one knock against Han's, in a world where other ice cream shops take it above and beyond Han's has many flavors that are pretty similar. However, Han's stays true to itself with its selection, and that can be a pro or a con depending on how you look at it, all I know is I love the coffee oreo and circus animal flavors. The munchie was a really nice surprise, if you've ever had an Its-Its, it's pretty much that with more flavors to boot. If you're looking for a place to have a first date or just get some ice cream after dinner, your money is well spent at Han's

    We opted to go here on National Ice Cream Day, probably not a great idea, but they weren't packed…read morewhen we went around 7pm Unfortunately they were out of my favorite flavor, peanut butter chocolate. And multiple others. Quality- on par, very smooth and strong flavors with excellent pieces of accents like chips, cherries, pecans, etc. criticism is the fact that we tried purchasing multiple points of different flavors and the guy forgot three of them in the process and we went home missing three pints of flavors, two of my boyfriend, leaving him with less options than me. Which was extremely disappointing. Will not come back bc this was just not with the extra drive for us and really wasted time and money.
