Chantilly Ice Cream

Ice cream and gelato, vegan options, but cash only. This said, it gets an automatic 5 stars from me because I went in not realizing with only a credit card, the person behind the till saved me looking terrible in front of my son and said to just swing back later and pay him - to which I made sure we did. That alone, top shelf, thank you! :)

I met the owner before he sold it to the nice Canadian couple and what a score that was!! Prime location and so many different flavors of delicious ice cream like matcha green tea. I bought a small cup for $8 plus a $1 tip. yikes

We tried their coffee, they have coffee machines. Prices were high, but I think it's OK for Laguna Beach at the center of the beach. And the coffee was good, service was OK.

Very delicious home made ice cream. They take pride in being home made with quality ingredients and i am all for it! I ended up grabbing the Matcha ice cream and wow, just exactly what i was craving for. The staff was very kind, and they let you sample flavors. The only downside of this business is that it is an CASH ONLY type of business, and we didn't notice or knew at all before getting to the cashier. So we had to pay an ATM fee of $3 (ATM located inside of creamery) which definitely threw us off. Not the atm fee but the fact that it was cash only and was not announced anywhere else but at the register. That is mainly why i would be disappointed with my visit here, but when i would take bites of my ice cream it would feel like it was worth the hassle ! Despite that their ice creams are amazing and i would come back if in the area but with cash this time !

Great ice cream, but extremely expensive (especially if you're stuck having to get cash from the ATM because you only realize that they are cash-only after you have ordered). We ended up getting charged $13 in fees on top of the cost of ice cream. Had I know it was cash-only, I would have gone elsewhere. Perhaps placing a sign at the front of the store would save customers a lot of trouble, as many of us are not carrying much (if any) cash these days. The absence of signs makes me feel deceived, which is why I probably won't return again.

Who doesn't want an ice cream in the summer at the beach? We came over here because the line at Gelato Paradiso was intimidating..There were many interesting ice cream flavors but you can only sample 2 flavors per person.I tried the Gummy Bear, which was interesting but not my favorite, and the Carnival Cotton Candy, which was really good and crunchy.I went with White Chocolate Raspberry Truffle for my final scoop.Will have to agree with the other reviews about the Cash Only part. There was no "CASH ONLY" sign outside. Once you're in the line, you get pushed along to the sample and the order and then you see the "CASH ONLY" sign at the cashier.@tableformin

Overall 3.75 stars: convenient spot for ice cream by the Main beach. But note an only cash place.They currently have 3 vegan options: vanilla, chocolate, and Oreo. I wished they had more vegan options. They had a sign outside saying vegan so this was a bit misleading but cool how the ice cream is 100% handmade.We got the double scoop for $10.50: cookie dough and vegan Oreo. Vegan Oreo was pretty good but it was simply the vegan chocolate with Oreo bits. It does have huge Oreo chunks which was nice.Cookie dough was creamier with and sweeter than the Vegan Oreo. Wished there was more cookie dough bits.They have a decent amount of flavors ie Pistachio, Birthday Cake. Their Mint seemed popular. I would try the other flavors like Salted Caramel.

I guess people don't write reviews here because there's less than 30 reviews yet this place was popping all day. The line was out the door the moment we arrived on the beach and longer still when we left the beach. They say the ice cream is home made. Service is okay but ice cream was really good! Very creamy and a plethora of flavors. We ordered a double - blueberry cheese cake and cookie butter. Both were rich and creamy and delicious. We wanted more when we were leaving the beach but the line was even longer than when we had first arrived. Only down side other than a wait is that they're cash only. Who carries cash anymore?!

They don't tell you it's cash only until you've ordered and are at the register ice cream in hand. Pretty much forces you to pay the ATM fee. The ice cream isn't worth the wait even if you brought cash.

Service was fine, the ice cream was terrible. Tasted like absolutely too much artificial flavoring.
