Confetti Italian Ice and Custard in Costa Mesa.
Ok, I guess it's not a restaurant, but it's definitely a "mom and pop" shop, and the owner is super friendly. He gave my daughter a $20.00 gift certificate when he learned we were treating her to ice cream because she had received really good grades for the school year.
We love getting Italian ice there (we were raised in NJ) and then taking into the sushi restaurant a couple doors down (Eat’s Sushi, which is INCREDIBLE) as a sort of pre-meal dessert while we wait for our food
cookie butter custard with pound cake chunks, condensed milk, and strawberry syrup. every time
with a color changing spoon from under the counter if they have them
biggest grip with that place is that you can't tip. I love you, Confetti. I want to give you more money.
