So worth it! Ohhh my…read morethis was such a treat for my family and I! The entire adventure of retrieving the gelato is similar to a treasure hunt. It smells so delicious through the alley. The alley itself is charming. Yes, there's a line but it moves quickly. Once you make it to the front the helpers are wonderful. Everyone working was nice and patient. Had two samples. Could sample every one. The menu is straightforward. Makes ordering quick and easy. They offer gelato and sorbetto. A flavor for everyone. The waffle cone is a must. Just writing this review is making my mouth water for seconds. Thank you Paradiso!!

If you're in Laguna Beach, Gelato Paradiso is a must. In my opinion, it's the best ice cream shop…read morein SoCal. What really stands out is their non dairy selection during the summer. They always have several flavors to choose from, which isn't easy to find. I've tried quite a few of them over the years, but the coconut is still my favorite. It's incredibly creamy, rich, and tastes just like the real thing. There's almost always a line, but don't let that scare you away. It moves pretty quickly, and it's absolutely worth the wait. This time the line wasn't too bad, which was a nice bonus. I stop here whenever I'm in Laguna and it never disappoints.

Recently went to Best Buy nearby and drove by Dairy Queen…read more Hubby wanted to try their burger so we went through the drive-through to pick up the burgers. Burgers were actually good. My husband has a double cheeseburger and I had a single. Burgers came out piping hot. We were surprised because we never had a hot burger at drive-through, they're usually just warm to touch. Only thing I didn't really care for was the cheese. Didn't look nor taste like real cheese? :)

Will never return here. I came by with my fiancé for the free ice cream cone promotion. I asked if…read morewe could do two cones but have one in a cup because I am allergic to the cone (gluten). A male voice suddenly comes over the mic very aggressively and goes "we don't do that for the promotion." I say "it's because I'm allergic" and then the man comes back on and says "congratulations" before the woman's voice comes back and said "so just one cone then." I was honestly in shock at the disrespect and lack of care. Fair enough that the promotion is strict on the cone. Whatever. But being disrespected by some punk kid with an attitude who was not a part of the transaction to begin with is insane. And the fact that the girl immediately jumped on board with "so just one cone then" made the interaction that much worse. Girl was young with blonde hair Guy was had black hair and patchy black beard DO NOT COME HERE

UNDERRATED. We need more yogurtlands around town. It's such a treat to come here because you not…read moreonly get samples but you also get such a variety of toppings to choose from. It has definitely gone up in price over the years but I think it's still worth it since you can't really make this type of frozen yogurt at home. I love the original tart, mango, and the orange sorbet flavor. I would definitely get those flavors 1 million times again. All time favorite is hands down original tart though. ALL the toppings taste so good with the original tart. 10/10 would come back again.

This Yogurtland pops off. I usually go late night and it's always a fun vibe! This location is…read moreclean, has helpful staff, easy parking, and there's usually new flavors when I stop in. Like everything, it is more expensive than you'd expect but that's why it's a treat ;) Usually around $9 when the smaller cup is full. Love froyo!

So yummy! First time here!…read more I got the medium size in a cup with two flavors. ($6.75) unfortunately they don't allow two flavors for the small size. Coffee Chocolate Chip Perfect coffee flavor and the chocolate chips are tiny, thin, square pieces that just melt in your mouth. I usually don't prefer chocolate chips in my ice cream because it can be so hard in contrast with the ice cream. However, the shape of these chocolate chips makes it melt so much faster and it makes the overall ice cream texture much more enjoyable to eat. Salty Caramel Truffle This was also delicious! However, it was too sweet for my liking. Younger me would have loved it at this sugar level though! Great flavor but just wish it was less sweet. It's caramel though, so the sweetness was kind of expected. Samples I also tried a couple samples. They are quite generous with the amount. Orange Dream Cream - this was ok. Maybe I'll just wasn't feeling like eating a fruity, sorbet flavor. Horchata - this was a pass for me. The flavor was not strong enough. Staff members were super friendly and very helpful! They were also very patient as I decided which flavors I wanted. Inside Very cold! Bring a jacket if you will stay a while to decide like I did lol. It's also HUGE inside! I've never been to such a big ice cream store. They have so many flavors to choose from too! I would go back to try other flavors!

We settled for a bubble cone with strawberry ice cream. The cone was almost raw with mochi-like texture but not in a good way and the ice cream had an off putting aftertaste. All went in the trash as it was inedible. The red flag should've been the menu as it includes calamari and garlic fries. Leason learned.

We stopped in for a little treat after a quick visit to the beach. They have so many flavors!!…read moreThis month the theme was something along the lines of "sea mythology" (think mermaids, kraken, sea witches, etc.) so they had probably around 6 flavors with clever names to fit the theme. Besides that, they had all the standard gelato flavors, plus a ton more unique ones! I was tempted to try so many of them (even though I'm that person that always just orders chocolate chip or hazelnut anyway). My daughter picked taro and the "sea witch" flavor, which was purple sweet potato and squid ink caramel. She got to sample both of them before deciding since I wasn't sure if she would like those flavors, but she did! And even though she mainly picked them because they were purple, they actually complimented each other well since they were both sweet root vegetables haha. This place offered 4 different sizes (kid, small, medium and large). Even the kid size was a bit much for my 4 year old daughter, but it's probably the right size for like a 10 year old... Naturally I helped her finish it! The gelato was delicious and I loved the uniqueness of both of these flavors! The visual aesthetic was fabulous, too. Our server was very kind and patient as my daughter decided what she wanted. We sat in the store for a few minutes as we ate before we headed back to our parking meter. There were around 4 small tables with a couple chairs each for sitting. It seems like enough since most people probably grab n go since there's so much window shopping to do in this area. In summary, we loved this gelato shop and can't wait to see what future seasonal flavors they have!

Best gelato place in Orange County in my opinion…read more The highlight is their unique rotating flavors. I highly recommend choosing something from the rotating selection (bottom row) since it's where you'll find truly unique flavors. Where else would you have marzipan, almond, and pandan in gelato form?

Had a rough week and something sweet seemed to be the answer.. never tried this sort of ice cream…read morebefore and the flavors sounded amazing so we gave it a try... Highly recommend trying this place! Service is fantastic.. the shop is spotless and clean.. light and bright. Don't miss ordering churros to share with your desert. The little cup with 2 flavors is plenty but if you have a hearty appetite you can go bigger. Less sugar and more flavorful than any other places we have tried.

We each ordered a Small (single flavor), $6.95: - Dulce de Leche - Pampas Chocolate Both flavors were satisfyingly delicious. In comparison to our recent experiences at other ice cream shops, we found these portions rather small, especially for the cost. Fun-&-tasty find, and glad to have experienced it!

"Honey, I want a chocolate chip cookie."…read more That's essentially how a half dozen cookies and some strawberry milk arrived at my doorstep one evening. I'm not pregnant but I had cookie craving like a pregnant woman! The cookies were soooo good. I liked them better than Crumbl (who make theirs too gooey, and loaded with sugar). These were sweet and tasty but not to the point where they were SO sweet they hurt my teeth. They also have some milk (duh) that comes in amazing little glass bottles. Somehow we ended up ordering strawberry and banana milk. I think I'll put myself - not my husband - in charge of the ordering next time so we can end up with some chocolate milk! 2026: 59/100
