Colorful Italian ice custards are popping up all over Orange County. Sorbet-like ice is paired with silky cream custards and, for about $3, you choose from seemingly endless combinations, including flavors and toppings. With a little experience, you’ll discover your favorites. Here are our go-to shops.
CONFETTI Confetti offers custard options such as Thai Tea and N.Y. Cheesecake, and ice flavors such as watermelon, lemon, and green apple. A suggested-combos list makes the choices easier. 1175 Baker St., Costa Mesa, 714-545-1175
