Fluff Ice

Its says open — yet it’s not. Went to the location and there was no notice on the fact that certain holiday dates are blocked out.
Plus, this wasn’t even a holiday!!!

It’s so fluffy!
Ugh, I really ought to stop with the late night snacking, but I can’t help want something cold on cold nights! Came here with my fellow roomies for some snacking because we all wanted something sweet but different. Bam! Fluff ice! It’s like ice cream but less calories and fluffier! I got the red bean, with condensed milk, and taro! It was yummy and totally hit the sweet tooth spot. My roomies were new to this genius idea and each loved their own ice creation.
The staff was friendly and the place was empty during our dessert session, but we figured it was later in the night and it was cold outside. I know we’re crazy for wanting cold dessert during the winter night, but hey, for some reason fluff ice tastes way better when it’s cold outside! The atmosphere in the case is chill and it seems to be frequented by a lot of teens, but the goodness of the fluff ice is so worth the crowd!

Came here on a Sunday night. Great service. Got strawberry and mango. Those were the two best flavors supposedly. Also had kiwi and egg pudding as my toppings. It was my first time and was a good first experience. I’m not a big dessert kinda guy so I can’t say much. It is good though! Also has dairy in it in case anyone is lactose intolerant.

Light, fluffy shaved snow! Yum yum yum: P
My friend told me about this location in Costa Mesa which is much closer than the brand new location in Irvine. The store is a bit small but is large enough to accommodate small groups. The sizes of the shaved snow I thought were a bit small in comparison to other shaved snow places. I ordered a medium Green Tea fluff with condensed milk and strawberry and mango toppings. I wish they could pile up more fruits but since the container was small it couldn’t hold that much :(The green tea was subtle. My friends ordered the taro and almond. I would recommend the almond since the taste was much stronger. Service was fast.

LOVE me some Fluff Ice and thanks to the nice owner comment on my review of their LA store, I found out they are a bit closer to me as well, in Costa Mesa and had to stop by.
Loved the décor, super clean, nice staff and my favorite on the menu, mango fluff.
Add mango boba and condensed milk, my favorite sweet treat, EVER!
Perfectly light, sweet and refreshing, doesn’t weigh you down, I can eat a large easy, SOOOOO GOOD!
If you have not had Fluff Ice, you are missing out, I’m obsessed.

This place used to be a boba store — I came here for a late night dessert with my tutee one day after her recommendation from other high school friends. I love the concept and pricing is pretty reasonable — I can get a small and have it be content in my stomach — everything else is much too big unless you’re sharing.
She got the Thai tea fluff while I got the peach fluff and we were both happy with our orders. I can’t wait until they open the Irvine location off of Culver by Boiling Point so I can get my fix a little closer than having to drive all the way out here from Irvine.
Overall, not a bad place to grab some dessert but definitely not worth going out of your way for if you live far.

This is another captivating way to cool down, something different than your average ice cream and snow cone.
I just remembered that I actually had fluff ice before the visit to this store and I found it very fascinating that time as well. The ice is shaved differently and like the description, it is like fluff. It melts in your mouth differently, I think the kids would enjoy it as much as the adults.
This location had a menu of combinations and it could be a little confusing and also difficult to select. But, you could also build your own flavors. I would like to return and try other combo’s.
The store uses fresh, bright colors to go with their minimal furnishing. The gals at the counter are helpful but the language barrier is just a tad bit challenging when they are naming some of the items.
Fluff Ice is in a strip mall on a corner, there looks like plenty of parking, but I’m sure it could be a packed parking lot at times.
It’s a must try place if you haven’t already, check it out if your in the area.

It’s on Adams Ave and Harbor Blvd in Costa Mesa.
It’s in the shopping center, right by «Jerry’s hot dog» and «Habit burger».
It’s very small shop — they have some seating both inside and outside. The staff were nice. Décor is very simple and modern. Plenty of parking.
Menu: Shaved snow and some boba type drinks. Very small menu.
Shaved snow: Snow flavor varieties aren’t that big. The size is very small. Small size is $ 3.50, Medium is like $ 4.50 or so (which is «small» size for most snow places). I think it’s expensive because other «snow» places give you more…
— Gluttony Expedition —
Halo halo: taro snow, condensed milk, egg pudding and azuki. Taro snow lacked in flavor, though it had a good texture. I don’t like the taro snow as it is. This snow needs topping to cover up the lack of flavor. Egg pudding was too sweet. Meh.
Mango snow: Nice texture but it was a bit too sweet. Meh.
— Conqueror’s Deduction —
Their snow texture was good and fluffy, but the flavor was a bit off — taro lacked in the flavor and mango was a bit too sweet. The small size is even smaller than other places for $ 3.50. I think it’s like 8 oz. Good enough for me, but extremely small for people who are familiar with shaved snow like me.
It’s cheaper than others but the size is a lot smaller than others. From the taste quality, I don’t like this snow.

Did they go out of business? I stood in front of a locked door at 12:10 today though it was supposed to be open. No indication why it wasn’t open nor a changed timetable or anything.
Would have loved to try — but not willing to hunt a phantom (They haven’t been at Eat@Figueroa with their truck as stated on their website — we have arrived at 8:30 pm.)

Got the green tea w mango and house syrup (kinda a maple syrup). As the name suggests (or screams), the ice was light, fluffy and flavorful. I am not a big heavy ice cream person and this was just right.
Good for a nice light refreshing treat. Perfect for me…

On a warm, muggy day traveling to the OC we needed something to cool us down. We decided to try Fluff Ice. The place was empty so service was quick after we finally decided on what we wanted. The girls and their cousin J shared a medium and hubby and I shared a medium. Little O shared with everyone, sampling everything.
Serving sizes were pretty decent. H said flavor was okay vs. the other snow place we frequent. Hubby was happy with his Almond snow. They don’t have as many toppings as the other snow place. Snow flavor was good.

Personalize size of shave ice. Tried samples of taro, strawberry, and mango. Mango was very sweet. Taro was okay. Ended up going with strawberry which was okay. Overall, it was ok. Had better shave ice of this style though.

Came here for some late night dessert and was very pleased. Service was very good, and prices are very fair.
The ice we got was very flavorful down to the last bite, the toppings were a bit lacking (which is the only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars) we had 4 people and split 2 medium ones, both the orders were lacking a bit in the toppings. Great atmosphere and it seems they may have drinks as well but they aren’t listed on the menu (which is a bit weird)

In the category of frozen desserts it’d be hard to go too far astray unless you’re at John’s in Berkeley, home of the overpriced $ 1 ice cream cone. So I won’t say that Fluff Ice is bad because it definitely isn’t. It’s just not quite as satisfying as other frozen desserts.
$ 3.50 will buy you a small with your choice of one each from the following categories:
* Fluff ice flavor — I chose mango and it was extremely mild in flavor. So mild that if blindfolded I’d have been unable to guess what flavor I was consuming.
* Fluff ice topping — I chose lychee jelly and am uncertain what made it «jelly». It tasted like little pieces of fruit, juicy with nice texture.

* Drizzled topper — I chose condensed milk which I happen to adore. I saw the girl squeeze a bit on top but it seemed to impart no flavor at all. Really? Make that fluff ice swim in it, girl.
So Fluff Ice is mild and cold and sort of light and, yeah, fluffy. It’s fine but if somebody suggested fluff ice, froyo, ice cream, (or shave ice, which this is not), fluff ice would lose out every time. On the other hand, if fluff ice was the only thing available I’d do it again. It was good; not great.
The shop is immaculate and looks not unlike something plucked from the streets of Tokyo. Or, as Monica C called it, a «Sanrio store».

Shaved ice on a whole new level!
The only other time I’ve had shaved ice like this before was in Houston, Texas. The ice has milk it I believe so when it’s shaved it is very light and fluffy! This is absolutely heavenly! Fluff Ice has a variety of flavors; mango, strawberry, almond, taro, green tea, thai iced tea, etc. After you pick your cup size and fluff flavor you then choose your toppings. It looks like the same toppings you would find at any froyo establishment. I went with all fruit. Next you choose your drizzle. There is condense milk, chocolate syrup, and a couple others. They also have «Fluff Favorites» which are fluffs that have fixed flavors and toppings in case you don’t know what to order.
The price was about $ 5 for a medium $ 4 for a small. The sizes go up to extra large I believe. The medium felt like a lot so I was very satisfied. The place is very bright and colorful. The people working were super nice and sweet!
This is a perfect place to visit and cool off on a hot summer day. Kids and adults will love this place! Cute spot for a date or after dinner treat!

Now that’s what I’m talking about.
Not more than a day after a disappointing experience with the so-​called shaved snow of a 4.5 average rating place called The Snowflake Factory (emphasis on average), I finally made my long awaited second visit to Fluff Ice. The first one actually occurred last year at Las Vegas Foodie Fest when their food truck dazzled my mouth with its Thai Tea combination. I was going to go again this year, but disinterest in the other offerings swayed me not to pay the admission rate in addition to the hiked up prices of the trucks.
This shop is located in a corner strip mall on Beach Blvd in Costa Mesa along with other potentially interesting offerings such as The Habit and That Boba Place. I arrived right around dinner time on Sunday night, and there was no wait with a couple of customers already sitting down. We decided to get a medium mango madness combination ($ 4.75) and a small taro with sliced almonds and condensed milk ($ 3.50).
As I remembered from a prior visit, the texture had the unique feel that I associate with good shaved snow. It’s shaved into long enough pieces such that it’s a little tough to carve into with a spoon, so it has a mouth feel and doesn’t dissolve right away. The flavors were pretty solid too. I thought the mango snow itself seemed a little artificial, but the inclusion of actual mango helped a lot. The mango madness is pretty sweet overall, but not saccharine. The taro snow, even with condensed milk, wasn’t as sweet and might appeal more to some folks. I didn’t see any sliced almond on top and had to dig for it at the bottom, so that was a bit tension-​inducing.
I will definitely come back to these guys again the next time I’m in the area. Only issues were that I wanted more of that real mango taste, which I do get from my favorite place in Las Vegas, and the price is paradoxically higher at Fluff Ice, even if you account for the included toppings. Maybe that food truck pricing wasn’t actually hiked up at all.

This mall on the corner of Harbor & Adams in CM only used to have Maru Sushi, That Boba Place, and Haus of Pizza. Now there is The Habit, Burrisimo, Jerry’s Wood Fire Dogs, Frostbites, and most recently: Fluff Ice.
To me, Fluff Ice is like a hybrid of shaved ice and ice cream. My niece bought me the halo halo ($ 4.00) while I was waiting for her to buy her own peach (same price). There are standard flavors and you can create your own.
Unfortunately, the halo halo was nothing like the real thing. While the taro tasted like taro, the rest of it didn’t have much flavor. In addition, I thought the price was high for the portion: 2 Stars.
I didn’t wait long, so I presume the staff was efficient. Fluff Ice occupies That Boba Place’s old spot next to Maru Sushi. The place is small and nothing to speak of: 3 Stars.
I have tried every place in this mall, except Burrismo, Frostbites & Jerry’s. However, I would go back to every place except Habit, Maru and Fluff Ice. All three places are nothing special.

Came upon this place and decided to give it a try since it was close to my house. Cute little place with cute wall decals. Employees were very nice upon entering and they offered us samples on everything! My husband and I ordered the Mango Madness and the Almond Shave ice with Strawberries and Mango bits.
The Mango Madness came with Mango fluff with mango pieces, lychee jelly and drizzled condensed milk. The fluff ice had a real mango flavor and the fruit was very fresh. It was a great combo.
The Almond Shaved Ice was good and reminded me a lot of cherry for some reason. Overall, the quality of the fruits were good and the flavored fluff ice was tasteful as well. I would come back when I have a craving for it.

Décor: very cute! Their cutesy, drawn mascots (?) all around the place are adorable. The walls and furniture and peppy music make you wanna do a happy dance with those kawaii animals.
Service: We were greeted immediately upon entering and offered samples before buying. I’d recommend them to either turn down the music or have the shy girl working here speak up; it was guesswork trying to figure out what she was saying, lol. She brought us little free cups of water as we were eating though, so that was nice of her. Upon eating and leaving it was ghost town on the employees’ front end, but I didn’t mind since we didn’t need anything else.
Fluff ice: I love the creamy and icy texture, but honestly I can’t say that the flavors were mouthwatering. It felt like they needed an extra oomph. They taste like a watered down version. And personally for the price it’s not worth it coming back for more fluff ice unless they get these flavors to be bolder. I will say if you love toppings, that can make up for the lack of taste in the ice. I recommend the pudding in them!

Super cute décor! Fluff Ice is located in the same plaza as dee-​lux and the habit! Dance/​electronic music and booths make for a comfortable, casual atmosphere. Parking is always pretty good, in a big lot.
The staff is super friendly, they let me try a sample of the fluff ice! I ordered the mango madness combo in a small cup for $ 4. It has mango fluff ice with mango jelly and mango fruit pieces. The mango was really fresh and the mango fluff was super smooth and refreshing. It feels like summer again!
It is a bit pricey but so worth it on a hot summer day! They also have tea and blended drinks! Definitely recommend trying this place! Yum!
