Ghirardelli Soda Fountain & Chocolate Shop (Disneyland)

Great ice cream and soda shop. They offer lots of different ice cream desserts and chocolate treats, all of which are delicious. Tip: the menu posted outside doesn't mention that they offer complimentary toppings, including mini dark chocolate chips, chopped almonds, a maraschino cherry, sea salt sugar, and sprinkles. Paid toppings include fudge, caramel, chocolate sauce, butterscotch sauce, marshmallow, strawberries, and pineapples. You can ask for any sundae to come in a banana boat (sundae dish). If they say no, tell that misinformed cashier to double check. They do not accept Disney gift cards.

Best shake/sundae I have ever had. Chocolate caramel sea-salt. It was divine.

Yes, I will take a free piece of chocolate! Ghiradelli is delicious. Surprisingly, their iced coffee is really good. I always ask for whipped cream in my coffee since it's made fresh at the location. If you are not pleased with your drink they will remake the drink to your liking. Of course, their ice cream sundaes are delicious. Personally, I'm not a big fan of milk chocolate fudge because of its sweetness, so I love how they can substitute milk chocolate for dark chocolate fudge. The ice cream used at Ghiradelli is Dreyers, so nothing new. I will say the ice cream worth trying here is their chocolate ice cream! Unlike the typical Dreyer's chocolate flavor, the one sold at this shop is Dreyer's chocolate made with Ghirardelli chocolate! It's so indulgent and delicious! If you don't like chocolate or coffee based beverages, you could also get shakes or their delicious raspberry sorbet smoothie. Pricing is on the pricier side, but well worth it. The chocolate displays are always well organized and clean. I'm sure they have a reason, but the only thing I dislike is how they don't cover your drinks. When you order a beverage, you have to walk out to get the lid for your beverage. Even though it's a third party vendor, they always provide excellent Disney service.

I looked at their menu for drinks and I got a mild cherry chocolate chip drink. I really didn't like it, it tasted really artificial. The drink was eleven dollars, even though I threw out the receipt and had no credit card, the cashier still gave me a refund. I bought a dark chocolate almond stick and three mini caramel dark chocolates, the same price as the drink.

Staff is great, service is super-fast and with your passholder discount it's a good bargain. They also give out free samples, full-size squares which is awesome..
