FROZEN DELIGHT
Get ready to taste the latest frozen delight in OC. Swirls just opened in Costa Mesa with unique desserts and fun locale that even has a special room for children.
And today Swirls donates a portion of the proceeds to Mariners Elementary School in Newport Beach. Swirls offers four natural non-fat frozen yogurts: the popular creamy tart original flavor, green tea, and for those who prefer sweet tastes, blueberry and mango passion fruit.
And Swirls offers flavored powders -- chocolate, taro, honeydew, watermelon and more -- that you can sprinkle on your yogurt to add flavor.
Its unique desserts include a fusion crepe dessert (debuting next week). The Asian-American-style crepe differs from the French-style. It's cooked to order, comes in a cone shape, and the texture is firmer than soft crepes. Swirls fills the warm crepe with frozen yogurt, Nutella and your choice of fruit toppings.
And the Swirls shaved snow desserts are sweetened with a dairy product that adds a milky slushy taste with yogurt, and fresh fruits toppings.
Owner Cindy Ton provides a bright and cheerful store that appeals to families with small children. She even offers a kids' room that perfectly fits the younger set, with miniature chairs and tables.
Open 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Sunday through Thursday; 11 a.m. to midnight Friday and Saturday. 1799 Newport Blvd. in Costa Mesa. 949.764.0093.
