Eiswelt Gelato

Delicious and lightly flavored gelato that come in various flavors. The service was fast considering how much time they spend on each order with the meticulous shapes and styles.
My favorite flavor was the jasmine milk tea. It was light, refreshing and not overly sweet. I also enjoyed the strawberry and the pistachio.
As we sat enjoying our gelato we could smell the fresh durian being made in the back. Its great to know they make all their own flavors from scratch! This is definitely a place to take my friends when they come visit.

Can ice cream design BE any cuter?!
For $ 3.50, you get a scoop of ice cream fashioned after a either a bear or pig. Quite a selection of flavors. I opted for simple green tea and the piggy was perfect! Crunchy waffle cone and the ice cream itself wasn’t overly sweet.

This place rocks. For $ 3.50 you can choose up to three gelato flavors for a cute AF teddy bear cone! You can also request for a rose one or a piggy one. The teddy bear is the cutest :)
The gelato itself is really good and they offer a great selection of flavors! From your usuals like hazelnut, pistachio, mango to specialty ones like durian, Jasmine milk tea, smores, etc. My favorite is the ferrero rocher flavor! Tastes just like my favorite candy! It paired well with the Jasmine milk tea, if you’re interested :)
Affordable, delicious, instagram-​worthy!

This place actually has it all: cute food AND good food!
I was a bit worried that the gelato here wouldn’t actually be that good but was pleasantly surprised by the variety and depth of flavor (s). I got durian for my dad and strawberry for my pig. So cute!!!
The service was very fast considering how much work the staff have to do to make our cute animal creations.
Definitely a great and affordable find!

Super cute and very yummy gelato! Just taking one star off because the gelato melted very quickly :(
PARKING: pretty ample, big lot
SERVICE: it was fine, nothing to write home over but it makes sense given the huge line. Eiswelt is super crowded and had a huge line when I was visiting.
AMBIENCE: what a cute store! The décor is really cute with inspirational quotes and lyrics on the wall, and they also have board games. It’s hard to get a table though since there’s so many people here also instagramming and snap chatting their cute ice cream cones so act fast!
FOOD: ahhhh the gelato was super flavorful and yummy, so many options! There was everything from durian flavor (which I didn’t try meeep I don’t like durian) to ferrer rocher. You only got 3 tastes max.
My friend loved the mango gelato and my other friend said the smores was awesome. I ended up getting the teddy gelato ($ 3.50) with ferrer rocher, hazelnut, and strawberry! Such a good deal for 3 flavors and an ice cream that’s too cute to boot! They have a constant milk chocolate fountain running which they use to make the face for the creatures and also to draw a nose on the marshmallow that becomes the animal’s snout (is that what you’d call it??)
The only pitfall is that the gelato melted like crazy. It was already melting when the employee handed it to me.
PRICING: very, very reasonable!
Really liked this place! Would come back

Cute concept… for the little kids. For $ 3.50 they can make you a ice-​cream cone that looks like a bear. You can pick up to 3 flavors. Keep in mind, they use 2 of the flavors as the ears so it will be 2 tiny scoops on top.
I picked the mango, chocolate and berries. All three were very good. They also have durian but I did not get it.
I will come back to try the others flavors when I am in the area.
Parking: easy to find
Service: friendly and helpful. The server was very nice and reminded me that have nuts in the chocolate.

If you want to attract Asian customers make something really cute… This place nails it. The teddy bear cones are so cute! Honestly I came just for the teddy bear and I was surprised that the gelato is actually pretty good. Depending on how many scoops you want on a cone, you can get a teddy bear (3 flavors), pig (1flavor) a bear with a pig on top (2 flavors). There is also a flower option. But that has already been done by other gelato places.
Pros:
–reasonable pricing $ 3.50 for a cone
— cute gelato!
— gelato is decent, and has interesting «Asian» flavors
Cons:
–there can be a line
–service is kind of slow
— the hot chocolate is NOT good (probably made out of a powder)
— flavors of gelato are kind of too sweet

Lines were out the door on a Saturday night for bears, piglets, and even chickens. I came here with the hubby and a couple friends to eat the cutest ice cream on the planet. Just check out the photos and you’ll see what I mean. This place is great for all ages – especially for kids and those of us who wanna post a cute photo on their social media apps. Guilty as charged. Most likely, you found out about this place from one of your IG or FB friends.
I got the Teddy Bear which comes with 3 flavors. I chose ferrero rocher, coconut, and Thai Tea flavors. The ice cream itself is standard – pretty good but doesn’t really stand out in taste. What everyone comes here for are the cute photos! Pretty genius idea! Hats off to the owner here for creativity!
I wouldn’t come out of my way for this ice cream again but it’s worth trying once!
Parking: free in private lot

To be honest, I came here just to Instagram my ice cream. The pig, piglet, and teddy bear options are SO CUTE and so inexpensive!!!
It’s a really small store hidden in the corner of the plaza, I think it’s run by a family. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the gelato. It was great!!! Having just recently pigged out on a bunch of gelato on my vacation in Italy, I held it to a higher standard, and I was definitely not disappointed. Super decadent and thick and flavorful. I love that you can choose any flavor for the animals, it’s great that they’re flexible! Love this place, will definitely return.

I first heard of Eiswelt from a post on instagram. I thought they were so cute, so I knew that my next trip to SoCal I had to hit this place up!
Came here on a Saturday night around 10:30pm. I was worried that I would get here and there would be a ton of people but I was surprised that there was no line. They offer a variety of gelato flavors and a few different animals they can make it into. All were reaonably priced. I got the bear for $ 3.50.
Unfortunately, the day I came in they could not offer samples due to their freezer being out of service in the front. So all of their ice cream was in the back. It was hard to choose since I didn’t know what I liked. They had flavors to choose from and I wish I could have tried it. I ended up going with a safe route and getting coconut gelato for the face of my bear and for the ears I had strawberry and ferrero rocher.
The gelato bear was so cute!!! Coconut gelato was good as well as the ferrero rocher. I actually wish I had the face as the ferrero roche! Tastes just like the chocolate! The stawberry was just meh. It did have a sign saying the strawberry wasn’t made with milk, so I’m sure that’s the reason I didn’t like it very much. It was too tart for me.
I would definitely come back. The workers were nice, the gelato was delish and c’mon the animals they make them into is so freakin’ adorbz!!!

Not only is it stinkin’ cute, it’s DEEEE-​LICIOUS!
We got the PIG with s’mores gelato and the TEDDY with cookie, s’more and cake batter gelato. Your animal determines how many flavors you get. They also have a rose shaped gelato, which is gorge.
The gelato is soooo creamy and light. I love Café Lucca near my house for gelato, but I can never finish even the kid’s size because it is really rich. This gelato has a perfect balance of flavor and texture.
Located in a strip mall with a variety of restaurant offerings and ample parking. The interior is adorbs with fun quotes on the white walls, they also have an exposed wood wall too — good background for those Unilocal pics! They offer numerous board games to enjoy while licking away on your cone treat! A few patio tables with umbrellas are shared with other eateries in the vacinity.
Service was efficient and friendly. Their freezer was broken which somehow correlated to them not offering samples, but thankfully– it didn’t matter because everything was incredible!

Its located in the same complex as my doctor but I never go to the doctors to realize it was here until I actually wanted to try it out. I had already seen all the designs and stuff posted all over my social media so I had been wanting to come here for the longest. However, with busy schedule and laziness (the latter more so), I never got a chance to.
So I finally was able to make it here with my friend. The line wasn’t really long but it did take a bit of time for them to make the design so bare with them on that. I was deciding between the teddy cone or the piggy cone but in the end I opted for the piggy cone and my friend had the teddy cone. She had a birthday cake and cookies flavor and I had the strawberry sorbet. She really liked here ice cream flavors a lot whereas for me I thought the sorbet was just ok. The cone was excellent and overall it was a nice little treat but I probably wouldn’t return again as I felt it was a one time thing here.
Service was nice and friendly. The cashier chick was a bit out of it though but still very friendly. I don’t blame here it was such a hot day. The design are really cool and the ice cream was very rewarding but nothing overly special in my opinion. It didn’t taste bad though but I just don’t see myself coming here often.
PS They have about 4 tables outside and a bit of seats available inside. The store is pretty small and packed.

I love this ice cream joint! Their specialty is not only the cute bear and piggy shapes that they make their ice cream cones into but also their organic ingredients. Of course their figurines are also instantly Instagram and snapchat worthy!
I came here a few different times. The first time I got a bear which allows you to try 3 different flavors. The second time I opted for the rose because it is a little more ice cream. I have tried their Thai tea, their green tea flavor, and their tiramisu flavor. I love them all! I can’t wait to come back to try out more flavors!

We came in 15 minutes till closing and as someone who has worked in service, I know how awful and impolite that can be! But our group of friends were really excited to finally try Eiswelt, so we tried our best to be quick and kind to the workers that were there!
When we arrived I was surprised to see it was still packed and there were at least 5 people in line in front of us, even though it was so close to the closing time. We browsed the menu, and saw that you can choose from different cute animal shapes as well as just regular cups and cones. Different animals and shapes come with a different amount of flavors (dog in a cup comes with 3 flavors, pig comes with 2 flavors, bear comes in 3 flavors, piglet comes with 5 flavors, rose comes with 1 flavor etc.) I chose a teddy bear because it was so cute and I got to choose 3 different gelato flavors. The workers were kind enough to let me try the gelatos and I quickly decided on hazelnut for the main body of my bear, salted caramel for one of my ears, and green tea for my other ear!
It was absolutely adorable and I loved it! The gelato didn’t disappoint either. It was creamy and the flavors were fantastic! I can’t wait to come back and try more flavors! Although I’ve tried lots of other gelato spots in OC, I have to admit, these super cute animal shapes are keeping me coming back for more

3.5 stars! Unique small batch gelato that can be shaped into bears and pigs? It’s definitely what draws people in
Instead of ordering from the regular menu i decided to test their creativity and asked them to make me a unicorn and they were happy to! Seems like this place is run by a very nice family (almost mom n pop)
—durian unicorn: it probably didn’t turn out as cute as the bears and pigs but it sure was unique! the durian ice cream was good but definitely not a flavor for everyone
limited seating inside and a couple tables outside
NOTE: Unilocal check-​in gets you a discount but we forgot to use it!

BEARy cute gelato for you and your friends to PIG out on!

I came on a Thursday night and it was surprisingly pretty packed. Some people even sat outside cause the tables inside were full. They have enough seating for about 8 – 10 people inside with a cute little corner for you to take your instagram worthy pictures (super smart idea for having this and not putting tables there). They also had some great throwback songs playing. I was feelin it. Great little place to enjoy your gelato!

So the line wasn’t obnoxiously long, but there was definitely a wait. I mean they do make every single cone super cute, so it’s nice knowing they’re not just tossing on an eyeball here and a nose over there. Also you can sample the flavors so sometimes this adds to the wait time. But overall, they were very friendly and got to everyone as fast as they could.
— - g e l a t o — -
pig: 1 flavor (cone) -$ 3.50, you can also add a piglet on top if you’d like for an extra $ 1
dog: 2 flavors (cup) -$ 4.00
teddy: 3 flavors (cone) -$ 3.50
they also have a Spring Chicken right now and it was so adorable!
When I asked what their most popular flavors were they listed like half of them… haha so that didn’t help me much
h a z e l n u t: Yumm! This was my favorite flavor and definitely one of their most popular ones. Each bite was super flavorful and I loved it! I highly recommend hazelnut (if you like the taste of it I guess) it was easily my favorite flavor of the ones I got to try.
c o o k i e d o u g h: This was also jam packed with flavor (honestly, all of them probably are). It tastes just like a sugar cookie cookie dough. Sweet, but not too overpowering. I really liked this as well.
Will I be back? Yeah, if I’m in the area I wouldn’t mind coming back. Would I come out here just for this? No. It was good but definitely not something I would go out of my way to get. But props to them for the cute presentation!

I wanted to pig out on some gelato, so I thought the only doggone choice was Eiswelt Gelato. The moment I saw that they made their scoops into cute animals I knew I had to get my paws on a cone. Not only are these puppies cute, but they’re bear-​y affordable!
Eiswelt is positioned in the corner of a strip mall, with plenty of parking. The line was out the door when we got there, but that is also because the shop is small. It moves relatively fast anyway. I ordered a TEDDY GELATO ($ 3.50). This comes with 3 flavors, so I picked green tea, thai tea, and hazelnut. Presentation: A+++! Just look at its cute little face with the marshmallow… *squeals internally* The taste was okay, just not very strong. I think that the green tea was carried out the best.
This is definitely worth a visit if you are a fan of pretty desserts or like a person who is a fan of pretty desserts. It will not fail to impress, at least visually.
Gelato: 3, Service: 3, Environment: 5, Price: 5

I’ve given in the to the whole Eiswelt hype and came in give it a try
I came with one of my girlfriends after dinner for some dessert. When we arrived on a weekday around 6:30pm there was a short line. I went for their bear gelato ($ 3.50) which offers three different flavors. The head is one flavor and the ears are two flavors. I went with their popular ferrero rocher which was recommended to me by the nice guy behind the counter, their green tea and thai tea gelato. He quickly made me my bear and it was oh so sexy. After one snap of a photo I bite off the marshmallow nose. The ferrero rocher flavor was good and I recommend. The green tea and thai tea were also very good. The consistency here is less dense than other gelato I have had but it was still very good. My ice cream bear was served on a waffle cone. My girlfriend went with their dog that bear in a cup. It was also cute.
The ice cream here is so cheap you can’t really complain. And they take card. I mean… it’s only about $ 3-​$ 5 for a cutely made ice cream treat. They also offer boba, hot drinks, and other baked desserts here. The guy at the register was really sweet and he was very crafty with those animal ice cream. The girl was a little shaky but also nice. The inside is small but there’s about four tables inside. This place is perfect to take kids.

The price point is just too good. Cute, adorable ice creams in the shape of pigs and bears? Oh my. Sign me up! Sign me up 100x! Pre~tip it’s less than $ 5 per cone!
The cones I’ve gotten (bear and piggies) were both perfectly done. They really try to take their time with making them but the line does queue up since they have to craft each one by order.
My BF and I made our bears kiss! Eeee! Can’t stand the cuteness! Make them kiss and eat them fast! They definitely get melty!

Let me tell you how excited I was to go here… I looked thru every cute photo they had and read a lot of the reviews. Even though Eiswelt is super close to me, I was waiting for a nice day to go and eat gelato. That day was today! My cuz text me, «you want ice cream??» And my first thought was «yeah! Now we can try Eiswelt gelato!»
So off we drove the 1 mile to Eiswelt lol. It is in the same plaza as my beloved Ding Tea. I felt like I was being unfaithful to it being so close by while I try a new place. I’m sorry!
We walk in and we didn’t get greeted at ALL. The girl seriously did not crack a smile, nor say a word. We asked her if we could sample some flavors and then her first word was said…“yeah”. Ok she CAN talk. I sampled Ferrero Rocher (okay), red velvet (it’s just chocolate), and mango sorbet (too artificial tasting). Nothing stood out to me like WOW, this is actually really good. The consistency of the gelato was not of gelato that I’ve had. It was just ice cream… Anyways I just couldn’t resist the cute little piggies and bears. So I got the pig with the piglet but instead of the big pig, I asked if I could get it to be a bear with the bear nose instead. I got red velvet and strawberry (see pic).
My son ate most of my ice cream. The marshmallows they use for the noses were not good. Even my son spat it out. I feel like the cuteness of the ice cream masks the mediocrity of this place. The service definitely does not make up for it. The shorter girl that was there that day did not whatsoever looked or acted like she wanted to be there. You could tell the other customers felt the same way. Leave your problems at home, girl! Service is super slow. They need at least two people in the front, one for the ice cream and one for the register.
I also don’t get the pricing… for a teddy bear it’s $ 3.50 (Three flavors. 1 big scoop with 2 small scoops) and is cheaper than the piggy with a piglet $ 4.50 (Two flavors. 1 big scoop with one small scoop). And the pig which is only one flavor is the same as the bear $ 3.50?! Makes no sense. Uh yeah even if it was because of those marshmallow things, they should not be costing an extra dollar!
At the end I went to the bathroom to get some water to wipe my son’s mouth and whaddaya know, some guy took a huge STANKY poop, and I couldn’t stop gagging lol. The smell wafted out to the rest of the store and we made a straight beeline towards the exit. I came to see the cuteness and that’s all there is to it. I’d rather go to Rite Aide where the ice cream is always bomb and cheaper. We went to Ding Tea after because my cousin wanted a refreshing drink after the ice cream. We were greeted warmly and the vibe is just better in there.
