They serve Dreyer's Ice Cream here. We came here for the Mickey's Kitchen Sink aka Mickey's pants sundae. It's 3 scoops of ice cream with whipped cream, cherries and hot fudge. It's about $12+tax but you get a cool souvenir Mickey pants/sink bowl to take home. It's best for end of day or you can wash it out and ask for a bag from one of the stores. We found one sitting on top of the trash can because its original owner didn't want to take it home. One man's trash is another person's treasure. So we got 2 for the price of 1!
Clarabelle's is great for the warmer than average weather we had over the past weekend. But of course you can visit anytime you have the craving for ice cream. They are located on Buena Vista St in Disney's California Adventure. The staff is super friendly and speedy in their service. They also have dipped waffle cones here just like at Gibson Girl in Disneyland. No AP discounts accepted...
Read moreThe Happiest Place on Earth for Ice Cream Lovers! I've had a lot of ice cream in my life, but the hand-scooped magic at Clarabelle's in California Adventure tonight was on another level. I don't know what it is about Disney ice cream, but it just hits different—and hits hard. We had a couple of scoops, and it was a genuinely phenomenal experience. The quality of the ice cream itself is top-notch, rich, and creamy with flavors that are perfectly balanced. But what really made the evening was the cast members. They were so welcoming, helpful, and you could tell they genuinely love their jobs. Their positive energy is infectious and made the whole experience feel even more special. This isn't just an ice cream shop; it's a quintessential Disney experience. If you're at California Adventure and a craving for something sweet hits, do yourself a favor and stop by Clarabelle's. You won't regret it....

Now for the food... This review is exclusively aimed towards the Cookies & Candy Sundae ($8.49):
First off, you can NOT change any items or delete any items (park policy, according to the female server I had). The mint ice cream was a bit too chunky; more chocolate than mint ice cream in my opinion. I would have preferred vanilla. I don't like sprinkles on my dessert. IMO, sprinkles take away from the flavors.
The fudge in the middle was warm and does melt your ice cream a bit. The overall takeaway is that you can pretty much make this at home.
It was fun to try it but if you feel like ice cream at the park then go to Ghiradelli's on Pacific...
