My absolute favorite dessert place in Huntington Beach (other than Pacific City options)! They have bobas, ice cream, and unique macaroon flavors! I always get a macaroon ice cream sandwich. The hardest part is selecting the flavor! The Donuttery next door is also well known in the area for their donuts.
