Snow Monster
So, this is a bit random, but I had to mention Snow Monster in Orange County. They serve macaron ice cream sandwiches! Everything is made in house and it's an experience just to take in the heavenly smell of cookies baking. The online menu gives only a glimpse of the unique flavors and treats available. Recommended for the serious sweet tooths like me :)
