Greer's OC

N'iceCream at SoCo/The OC Mix in Costa Mesa is celebrating its 2nd birthday on Wednesday by giving out free 2 oz. scoops from 5 to 7 p.m. The organic ice cream stand was just voted in as one of the 28 best places in the world to get dessert by Travel + Leisure Magazine.

N’iceCream is handmade fresh every morning with real ingredients. Its gelato is made from the best milk and cream available, sourced from a local dairy farm, and its sorbet is dairy free and mostly fat free, too.

N’iceCream is lighter on fat and sugars than most gelato, and only about 1/3 the fat compared to premium ice-cream.

Open 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday to Monday; 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday to Thursday; 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday; 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday.

3313 Hyland Ave. #B5 in Costa Mesa.
