Happy Friday everyone! Today I wanted to introduce a new weekly series, that will feature local family friendly restaurants or dining experiences. Our first post is a guest post from Katie, who has a very fun blog, OCMomActivities. Katie took her kiddos to Farell’s last week and this is what she had to say.
What is it about Farrell’s Ice Cream in Mission Viejo that makes the lines to get in almost constant? I had to find out.
Almost instantly it was clear that Farrell’s isn’t your ordinary ice cream store, it’s an old school ice cream parlor with a full service restaurant. The food looks amazing (honestly… we decided to save all our room for desserts and skip the main course). The overall feel of Farrell’s is festive and a party atmosphere. There are outbursts of song and dance from the waiters and waitresses every few minutes celebrating a birthday at one of the tables. You can’t help but laugh and get caught up in the festivities.
The countless mouth-watering desserts will have you ready to skip to dessert! I opted for the Rocky Road Sunday and both my boys had the clown sundae.
Definitely a great place to go for birthday lunches or dinners. Have someone get there ahead of time to get a place in line or what we found was there was a pretty short wait at the 3:30-4:30 time slot during the week.
Farrell’s is also a great place to have birthday parties (contact them to find out rates). You can also go here to learn more about the menu and other services.
After your dessert… be sure to head over to the candy shop and load up on some hard to find candies!
Have you been in to Farrell’s? What is your favorite dessert there?

I had no idea Farrell's is still around! We had one in our area (LA) growing up and I would get so excited when our friends had their birthday parties there! I am definitely going to take my daughters to this one!
This one just opened a few months ago… the only other one (in CA)is up in the Bay Area.
Lots of fun. It's inside the Shops of Mission Viejo. 🙂
