Found on most every Italian street corner, the gelateria (gelato shop) is a place to gather, relax, and unwind. It’s a place to connect with family and friends and savor a bit of the sweet life. In 1999, after sampling a broad (and I mean broad) array of gelato on offer throughout various alcoves of the Boot, Gelato Paradiso began with the simple desire to bring the quintessential experience of the Italian gelateria to our friends and family in California. Next came what can only be described as an importing frenzy. In setting up shop, our recipes, our ingredients, our methods, our training, our marble counters and tiles, our artwork, our cups and spoons, our display cases – EVERYTHING came from Italy. Thus, the ideal of the authentic Italian gelateria made its way to the West Coast.

What Hans’ Homemade Ice Cream has to say: Since 1972, Hans’ Homemade Ice Cream has been a local favorite for generations of Orange County residents. All of our ice cream is made fresh, in the original Santa Ana location, using only the richest cream from local dairies. We never whip air into our ice cream to fluff up the volume. So, all you get is dense, creamy ice cream that you can really sink your teeth into! In addition to classic favorites, like Butter Pecan and Cookies & Cream, the Hans’ team continues to create new flavors, like Coffee OREO® and Nutella® Krunch. Try them in a shake or sundae or just enjoy them on a cone. We also serve up handmade Drumsticks, Ice Cream Sandwiches, and Munchies as well as hand-dipped, frozen bananas. Tell us what you like or dislike about our products or service, and we’ll continue to refine both. Our first batch of Salted Caramel ice cream was too salty. The next…not salty enough. Now? Now, we’ve got it just right. Try a taste for yourself.
