Heaven’s Delight

It was hot today, so I took my mom here for a refreshing treat. My mom and I used to come here a lot in 2007 and 2008, back when yogurt shops were booming. Walking in, we were quite surprised. The shop has changed owners since 2009 and it was apparent that the new owners did not care about the shop…
First, I find it odd for my mom and I to be the only patrons. Today was hot and we came in right during prime time (after lunch). Mind you, before the change of owners, this location was the happening spot on Bolsa, seriously! I soon found out why this place had no customers…
1. They only have 10 flavors, but of the 10 flavors, only 5 was working. The 5 that were working were the non-​popular flavors.
2. Their toppings were not fresh, it looked like it has been sitting out for awhile
3. They increased the cost of fro-​yo to .35 cents/​ounce. I know it is only .06 cent increase, but STILL! If they are going to charge this price, I might as well go to Yogurtland.
4. Their fro-​yo was GROSS. It tasted like water.
On my way out, my mom whispered to me, «lets not come back and go to Yogurtland next time.» These words came from a person who is very easy going.

Went in the other night, and it was pretty dead. I had visited this place last summer, and it seemed to have more patrons then. I was worried that the quality of the food might have gone down since. I’m glad that wasn’t the case. Had them make me a crêpe with strawberries and jackfruit. It was awesome.
P. S. They are now cash only.

This is a small, one-​off shop owned by a local entrepeneur, and is not a chain or franchise, like a lot of the Froyo places in the suburbs are today.
It is in a strip mall in Little Saigon, and is easy to miss. Being a small local shop, it offers a little bit of anything to keep the doors open in rough times. Froyo, crepes, shaved ice, smoothies, and now sweet potato fries.
Terrance, who was there when I popped in is super friendly and for you young girls, he’s pretty cute, too!
In addition to the Froyo I ate with my friend, we had a great conversation about the Froyo business.
On the Bolsa corridor in Little Saigon, there are several Froyo places, getting close to half a dozen. This is the only one that also serves sweet potato fries. And the Froyo is only 30 cents an ounce. Worth a try.

If you have Heaven in your name you better get whatever you’re selling RIGHT… and if you have a picture of the items on the menu I expect what I receive to be quite similar to the picture.
Sad.
That’s how I felt when I got my order
Sad…
That’s how I felt when I took a bite.
We ordered the Strawberry Banana Choco Drizzle and Fruit Medley crepes: I’m not a big fan of squishy mangos but STRINGY squishy mangos? that’s a no go!
The shaved ice wasn’t any better. it was not the «icy goodness» I was expecting… here’s a suggestion. add more condense milk!
Maybe I should have done my research and stick with the yogurt… or use the money on the $ 15 dollar an hour foot massage place I saw across the parking lot.

Heaven’s Delight is close to the corner of Brookhurst and Bolsa in one of the ubiquitous Bolsa strip malls. It is a small shop next to a travel agency. There is limited seating, maybe enough for 12 to 16 people. One wall has multiple yogurt machines kind of like a Yogurtland setup. They had music playing but it was very loud. You could not hold a conversation let alone a phone call if needed with this volume.
The guy who took my order was friendly and answered all my questions thoroughly. I do believe he was the manager of this independent place. The staff was efficiency at taking and making my order. But keep in mind I was the only customer they had at the time. I hope they could handle me.
I ordered one of their pre-​designed sweet crepes. I did like the fact that they had savory crepes too. It was simple just strawberry, banana and whip cream. The crêpe was cooked to preference and filling was fresh. Overall, it was satisfying.
The price was average to maybe above average for what you get. But since I was satisfied I did not think twice about the price.
Overall, a small, loud dessert place. I would have to try some other crepes before I increase my rating but good first experience.

The place is a bit cramped. It actually feels like a closet to me since everything is close together. But I like how they tried to integrate different palates. They have savory items such as Chicken and Mushroom crepes and also the regular dessert crepes (ie strawberry, banana, and ice cream). There’s nothing fancy or sophisticated with their ingredients. It usually consist of two to three items each, but simple can still be delicious. I like the fact that the crepes don’t cost and arm and a leg. Price range is from $ 3 – 5 dollars. And if you’re not in the mood for crepes there is always yogurt! I like that they’re store is right next to Tapioca Express since I was craving both tea and a crêpe. Parking can be a bit of a pain since there’s none, but the cars aren’t parked for long. One or two are usually ready to leave.
I enjoyed my simple crêpe. I would come back again half a year later. xP
hahah.okay Id rather make my own delicious flat pastry.

Since my move out to Garden Grove few months ago, I figure I should start exploring the area (or at least trying to remember what I’ve tried…)
Of all the FroYo places in Little Saigon, I would have to say Heaven’s Delight is my pick. I don’t care how much you say you like Yogurt Passion across the street… their yogurt is just way to icy for my taste, as well as the millions of shops all around town.
Heaven’s Delight is delightfully creamy in texture with 10 rotating flavors. I like lychee and the taro is starting to stick on me. Self-​serve with plenty of toppings to pick from. I’m glad that they still offer fresh berries even thoe it’s not really in season.
I have to say it’s a small location and not packed… but come on now. Do you seriously want to wait in line for yogurt?
I’m sad that the owners changed (I knew the previous), but relieved that the yogurt is still pretty yummy. The crepes on the other hand, I’ve never been a fan of, and looks like I never will… bleh!

No lines, no hassle, good variety, and a large portion of Crepes, what more can you want from a variety of dessert offerings coming from the heart of Little Saigon. I came here, per request of my friend and one of the original owners of this spot (management has changed, since they probably sold it by now). I was here with Steve N. (the ever Hypebeast Stunting Unilocaler) to get a little bit of a treat since our adventure of eating Phở at Phở 54 (in Westminster/​Brookhurst location).
We went inside, and Steve ordered some kind of Fro-​Yo combination which I cannot recall at the moment. However I did manage to remember my order which was one Strawberry Banana Crêpe, to eat within the premises. The cashier charged me $ 3.50 (what I believe) and I awaited for my savory treat for a good 5 – 7 minutes. I wanted to surprise my friend to say hello, but they weren’t there currently so I had awaited another time.
Beyond that, I finally got the Crêpe. I thought to myself, «This better be one hell of a spot, otherwise I’m letting them know if they need improvements and such.» After the first bite, all my criticism went away and I melted into the creamy texture of the Banana, Strawberry, and Crêpe hitting the ceiling of my mouth.
You know I used to think Genki Living (Irvine, Ca.) was the shiz (and still pretty good I might add), and now I come here and this place definitely holds its ground and provided a bigger portion which definitely topped it all off for me. So what gives, why the four stars and not the five? Well for starters, there’s barely any seating but given the location, there’s hardly any place to sit.
Also the hours at the time, could be a bit better than again the Cashiers must be bored out of their mind since business is probably steady but not heavily packed considering lack of vision, when in regards to finding this spot (located in a small plaza). Otherwise, this place has potential and hopefully whoeever runs this place now can definitely keep this place Heaven, otherwise it would be a cold day in hell without any worth of returning, ya Bastitch. Word to Lobo of DC Comics.

Frozen Yogurt, the new icecream. Unfortunately for my first time going to a frozen yogurt place this place was extremely dull. Its pretty much empty inside and really boring. Usually there should be a crowd and more lively from what my friends say. I yogurt was pretty good though and the choice of toppings had a lot of my favorites such as gummy bears and lychee. Go here at least once to try it out even though theres a pinkberrys nearby and other yogurt places around.

I’ve never been to a fro-​yo place before my visit to LA/​OC. In Dallas we only have a few locations, and I still have never gone. I tried both Pinkberry and Heaven’s Delight, and I definitely enjoyed this place better. More variety of frozen yogurts to choose from, and the toppings are plentiful and include many delicious tropical fruits, nuts, crispy snacks, etc. The service was friendly enough, and I hear they’re working on getting Wi-​Fi too! I’d definitely come back, especially since their prices are way better than the competitions!
Oh! And I didn’t get to try the crepes, but they did look good!

Wow, 40 Unilocal in 5 months. Sounds like a popular place. This is yet another self serve FroYo place with cool hip décor and friendly staff. Flavor selections included Mango, Peach, Chocolate, Vanilla, Taro, Original Tart, Lychee, Green Tea, Strawberry, and Banana Cream Pie. Wha? Yup. Banana Crème Pie frozen yogurt. I had to get that one as it sounded weird. Verdict? Both sweet and tasty! Topped that bad boy with some mochi and fresh strawberries and I was good to go. In addition to the FroYo they also offer dessert crepes and shaved ice as well.

Technically 3.5ish stars, but. that is not available so nay.
I’ve gone here a couple times. The yogurt is… better compared to Yogurt Passion. One of my favorite flavors here was peanut butter, until they removed it :/​Another good one is mango. Its creamy, kinda icey not so much, but I like it. Their yogurt isn’t Pink Berry status, but its waaay cheaper.
The store itself is kind of small. It’s very modern? I suppose and its bright and shiny, just like a bathroom. It makes me think of happy thoughts, but it also makes you feel relaxed, when you get over the sound of the yogurt machines.
There are a few quips over it though:
Número uno: Yeah. its kind of small. There are 3 tables I believe that you can sit at, but those are normally occupied whenever someone comes in.
Numero dos: They stopped changing their flavors. I remember from like November — March they had around the same flavors. :/​The last time I went, which was this month, only one flavor was changed. The flavors were mango, peach, vanilla, chocolate, blueberry, strawberry, cheesecake, original tart, taro was the new one, and lychee. Their cheesecake flavor is nothing compared to Yogurtland’s cheesecake. But their cheesecake BITES — ooh that’s another story :)
There are pros though!
Número uno: Nice staff. :D One of my friends works here, so that may be a bit biased, but when she’s not present, the other staff is nice. They’ll greet you when you walk in and talk to you about whatever when paying.
Numero dos: Dessert Lover’s Card. Buy 10 6oz or more yogurts, get one free. So that’s good right? :D Except it kinda adds up. :l
Numero tres: There’s a bathroom if you need to go.
They’ve got a little flavor request form thing going on, so that’s nice. Bring back peanut butterrrr
I’ve tried their crepes and they’re…they’re not really all that great. My friend ordered their chicken crêpe or something, the one with chicken, mayo, lettuce, and cheese and it was just eh. We got it as a medium, but the whole thing was just more on the crunchy side. I don’t really remember how much it was, I think like $ 3.65? which is kinda pricey but then again i don’t make money. Yeah. you should go here for yogurt.
Come here for their yogurt, not their crepes.

Once again, I decided to get my late night fix of desserts.
It took a little while before I realized that HD was located in the barren Century 21 plaza that no one cares for (except the Tapioca Express fobs). The price at HD was cheaper than Yogurtworld, and while my best friend went with the strawberry and lychee yogurt, I opted for the strawberry banana nutella crêpe + mango. The yogurt came out to be a mere 2 bucks or so, and it was pretty decent tasting for the amount he paid for. My crêpe, on the other hand, was rather disappointing.
The fruits were not that fresh, and the nutella was seriously lacking. That’s what MAKES the crêpe — lots of gooey nutella! The crêpe’s texture was weird and had a weird crispiness to it (despite the fact that I had requested soft). It reminded me too much of a soft fortune cookie. Not only does the crêpe suck, but the staff is comprised of 16 year old high schoolers who needed me to walk up and stand with my arms crossed for awhile before realizing they had to «go back to work.» And when they finally did notice me, I received no «hi» or «thank you.» Too much chatting, not enough work, kids!
I may, quite possibly, return to give HD a second chance and redeem itself with its yogurt. I was originally going to give it two stars, but minus 1 star for the sucky fruits and sucky customer service.
But seriously, stay away from the crepes and hit up Crepemaker instead!
**UPDATE**
I recently went back with my brother to try out the yogurt, and it still sucks! If you can’t tell which flavor is which after you’ve put three flavors in your cup, then you’re getting jipped! Desserts should be distinctive and satisfying above all else. Boo.

Crepes:
Never heard of crispy crepes. I wonder how they make them.
They taste like those communion wafers at mass. I’m not Catholic but I like to eat them.
I’m thinking the soft crepes would be better because when you get the crispy, the insides are not warm or melted. That’s not fun.
The green tea ice cream is very creamy and perfume-​y. I could smell it through my nose, when I exhaled.
Yo-​Zen:
(Everyone calls it fro-​yo, to be different I’m calling it yo-​zen)
I got lychee, since it’s a more hard-​to-​find flavor, and topped it with cocopuffs, fruity pebbles, lychees, blueberries, and nuts. I know, so random huh? It was ok. Reminded me very much of yogurtland but they have a broader selection of toppings which was cool, but a problem for indecisive people like me.

I came here with some Unilocalers last night after going for a massage. I like the concept. It’s cute, self serve, and they have lots of flavors.
You go in, grab a cuppie, choose your flavors, fill the cuppie, and put on your toppings. All by yourself!
I got a small (er) cup (dont they have small cups?!), put a bit of original tart, coconut, and strawberry froyo all separated in the same cup. I topped the original tart with blueberries, coconut with white chocolate chips, and strawberry with cheesecake chunks. The original tart froyo was pretty good, but the blueberries were on the mushy side. Me no likey. The coconut was okay but it didn’t go well with the white chocolate chips. The strawberry froyo tasted like Yan Yan but was really good with the cheesecake chunks.
Foodie boy got the crispy crêpe, which I have never heard of, and it was okay. Kinda funky. It looks like it was cooked (color wise) but it’s crunchy. Errr??? I never knew there was an option for crispy! So interesting… Mr. Hip Hop boy ordered the banana nutella crêpe, regular style (if that’s what it’s called, or original?), and it was good. Wish they put a little oil or something on it to make it more yummy. O and they need to put more nutella man!
Lots of kiddies indoors. Wasn’t much space to sit at until the dude brought some extra chairs.
This place is alright. Good concept but they need to step it up in the quality department. Good times though!
:)

Heaven’s Delight is a unique and contemporary dessert lounge in Westminister, in Orange County. It has the vibe of young, fun, chic-​ness accompanied by cool music and free wifi connection. The clean, modern white art panel softly invites you to taste the fresh and eclectic variety of desserts including frozen yogurt, Asian/​European inspired crepes, fondue, and shaved ice desserts.
There are over 30 fresh toppings for the frozen yogurts and 8 different flavors of yogurt ranging from lychee to mango to green tea and of course, original tart. The crepes are made from a special batter created from scratch each day and from the freshiest ingredients. In addition, Heaven’s Delight is a self-​serve dessert lounge… you are the creator of your own desserts and at $ .29 an ounce for frozen yogurt, it’s truly heaven! Ciao bella!

The funniest thing happened while I was hear, in which my friend wrote an ok review for Heaven’s Delight and the owner pops out of nowhere and asks us who is who. After all the conversation, I had a good laugh out of it. The yogurt itself reminded me of Frozo’s in Santa Clara and HD’s toppings were fresh. My favorite was the plain tart flavor and for the crêpe, the fillings were good but the crêpe itself broke to pieces. Oh wells, next time I am ordering medium soft. A simple hangout place near my Socal home and for 29 cents an ounce, dude, what more can I say about that! *pulls the yogurt machine lever down, muahahaah*

I went with fellow Unilocaler David L. (see below) to Heaven’s Delight. It was a great experience, wide variety of yogurt flavors. My favorite was the lychee (if you haven’t tried lychee frozen yogurt yet, you haven’t lived). I also had the Nutella and banana crêpe. Usually Nutella crepes have WAY too much of the Nutella spread but Heaven’s Delight makes the perfect blend.
Together, my boyfriend and I had a huge bowl of frozen yogurt (lychee, mango, peach, green tea, and strawberry, toppings were jackfruit and mango) and a Nutella & banana crêpe all for under $ 8.

**UPDATE 2÷18÷08 — Okay, I have to sadly knock down a star from my once proclaimed «best froyo place in the world.» I’ve gone back and tried a couple new flavors (blueberry and coconut) and nearly threw up in my mouth. Plus I just visited the nearby Yogurt Passion that newly opened and they have my favorite cereal as an option (and a really yummy pineapple yogurt). So the crown has moved down Bolsa. There are now a million new Vietnamese owned Pinkberry/​Yogurtland knockoffs sprouting around Little Saigon, so I may be changing my mind once again.**
Heaven’s Delight is a wonderfully delicious hybrid of my two favorite yogurt places — Yogurt America’s Cup in Costa Mesa and this little known joint called Pinkberry. To be fair, it appears that Yogurtland was the first to come up with this hybrid concept, but since I’m not a UCI or CSUF student with hours of time on my hands to wait in line, I probably will never try it out… therefore I will give my five-​star crown early to HD.
I walked into HD and was intrigued by the many different flavors of self-​serve yogurt you could choose from. Should I only go for the original tart (the Pinkberry clone)? What about blueberry? Strawberry? Chocolate mint? IS THAT FREAKING LYCHEE YOGURT I SEE???
Even though it’s only 29 cents an ounce, I decide to only dabble with the original tart and vanilla at first. Don’t want to get too crazy only to find out it sucks, right? I throw on my Fruity Pebbles (only one of the 20+ toppings available) so I can do a fair comparison against Pinkberry, and ring it up. A filled up cup of multi-​flavored yogurt with cereal topping = $ 2.10. You’ve got to be freakin’ kidding me. I would have immediately ran back and loaded up more, but I knew there would be a next time. And that next time was a mere eight hours later. That’s right, folks. I got frozen yogurt twice in one day. And you know what? I might be going back tomorrow too. THAT’S how I roll.
Tonight I tried out the lychee with mochi balls. If Howard Schultz had tasted lychee flavored froyo, he would have spit out Pinkberry’s green tea crap and invested his $ 27 million to putting Heaven’s Delight on every Starbucks corner. My mom tried the chocolate mint… okay, that might have been a bit too sweet. But when you’re plopping down fifty cents for that hunk of sweetness, does it really matter? Seriously, this time we both stuffed our big cups with yogurt and toppings and they both weighed in at under $ 6 total.
Now, for you yogurt snobs, this type of dessert has a similar icy texture to Pinkberry, rather than the creaminess of «real» yogurt. (Don’t want anyone upset at me because they are wondering why it isn’t more like Golden Spoon.)
Would like to try the crepes or shaved ice next time; if they are as good as the yogurt, I may have to relocate back down to the OC for this reason alone!

OK like seriously!!! There’s a reason why this place is called Heaven’s Delight! mmmmh mMMH MMMH! After subjecting my stomach (and breath) to the big almighty that is Boiling Crab’s medium whole shebang crawfish (awesome by the way!!) … I knew I needed some sweet delight to calm the inferno that was my stomach. Now where to go in good olé wet-​min-​to for some nice dessert that is not some type of 3 beans dessert (or che as we fobs like to call it)? It was almost as if fate had led me to Heaven’s Delight where I met my sweet tooth’s soulmate… Ohh lychee fro-​yo where have you been all my life??? And your cousin green tea yogurt!?! YUM!
«The toppings were plentiful and the décor was nice,
I knew I had to try the savory sun-​dried tomato crêpe–
That had the right amount of spice. «
Ok ok. I didn’t try the crêpe until my second visit… but I just had to put that little poem in there dedicating to Heaven’s Delight… my new home away from home… and also the source of job security for my trainer at LA Fitness. Thank God for Heaven’s Delight! Chubby gives it 5 golden spoons (or plastic… cuz that’s what they have at HD! Woot Woot!)
