by Patti Larson / Thursday, 31 May 2018 / Published in Local

With summer just around the corner, we’re craving sweet treats! If you’re an ice cream connoisseur, you know that ice cream from your grocer’s freezer isn’t going to cut it. You need ice cream from an authentic ice cream shop. They have the best selection and flavors, hands down!

If you’re looking for outstanding ice cream in Orange County you won’t want to miss these five places:

Creamistry

It doesn’t get much fresher than the ice cream at Creamistry. Each time you visit, your ice cream is made to order.

By made to order, we mean freshly made ice cream, scoop by scoop! Liquid nitrogen is used to craft each individual ice cream order. This means you can customize your treat from the ice cream base to the flavor even to the add-ins and toppings. At Creamistry each order can be unique with more than 60 flavor and toppings options. You start by choosing a base of signature premium, organic, sorbet, or coconut (which is vegan and lactose and gluten-free). From there you can choose flavors that include Fruity Pebbles cereal, Tiramisu, and even Thai Tea. You can add dozens of toppings and upgrades to bring your ice cream to the next level. KitKat, M&M’s, Hot Fudge, Blueberry Sauce and even Kiwi sauce are available. Creamistry has locations in Huntington Beach and Irvine and throughout California.

Ask for any flavor in a homemade waffle cone or cup. If you want something different, try one of the mix-and-match ice cream sandwiches or soda floats that are served in a souvenir cup that changes colors. B. Candy is all about finding those flavors that you never thought were possible.

Once you try ice cream from any one of these shops it’s going to be hard to ever eat store-bought ice cream again. Load up the kids this summer and try them all!
