Happy 420 #Happy420
Cali sun, Cali beach, Cali weed—after a day of enjoying the many things southern California has to offer, you’re craving something sweet. As Orange County’s favorite dispensary, we at People’s know a thing or two about satisfying that sweet tooth.
Beat Your Marijuana Munchies with the Best Desserts in Orange County
A little bit of potent California cannabis makes us all a little bit hungry. Luckily, Irvine’s the best place to be when you have an urgent need for delicious food. Here is the 2021 list of Orange County’s best dessert spots to hit when you have the munchies:
Where to Get Ice Cream in Irvine
Nothing cures weed-induced dry mouth better than ice cream. People’s is located right over the border from Irvine, making these ice cream joints conveniently accessible for cannabis shoppers.
Head on over to Diamond Jamboree Plaza to enjoy one of humankind’s greatest inventions. With flavors like Peppermint Bark, Cookie Monster, and Salty Oreo, this fledgling dessert joint has been taking over Southern California. Additions include milky buns and fun toppings like Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Fruity Pebbles. Afters Ice Cream has been expanding all over Orange County, so you can get your fix if you’re in Tustin, Fullerton, or Costa Mesa. Not into the idea of leaving your house these days? Like People’s, they also offer free delivery right to your door.
Located in the same shopping center, Somisomi offers a Japanese twist on dessert with taiyaki, a fish-shaped cake similar to a waffle. The hollow insides of taiyaki can be filled with a sweet paste like Nutella or ice cream in flavors like matcha, black sesame, and milk tea.
Persian food is one of Orange County’s hidden gems. Saffron & Rose brings classic Persian flavors to the forefront with pistachio, saffron, rose, and orange blossom options. Even if you’d rather stick to the basics, their vanilla and chocolate flavors are extraordinarily good. If you’re planning on getting baked at home, you can also get pints, quarts, and half-gallons of delicious ice cream delivered to your doorstep. When you’re smoking weed, it’s always smart to plan ahead on your snack stash.
The Best Donut Shops in Orange County
When it comes to donuts, multinational chains can’t compete with the independent shops in Southern California. Skip the Dunkin’ Donuts and head to one of these Orange County donut shops instead:
The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies in Orange County
After stopping by People’s, it’s a quick hop over to Paderia Bakehouse in Irvine. The cheesecake, egg tarts, and specialty drinks are delicious, but Paderia is best-known for its cookies. They’re huge and thick, with a gooey center as large as a fist and crispy, crunchy edges.
Newport Beach’s C’est Si Bon Bakery and Dana Point’s Maison Café + Market also have chocolate chip cookies worth meriting a mention, but Paderia’s are on a whole new level. No matter how monstrous those marijuana-induced cravings can get, these cookies are big enough to satisfy all of your snacking needs.
Brownies, Cookies, and Other Marijuana Desserts in Orange County
Candy cane sugar cookies are only one of Kaneh Co.’s delicious edible cannabis offerings, but it’s definitely one of our favorites. We also love their triple-chocolate brownies and their s’mores desserts—all of which come with a powerful cannabis kick.
Mexican desserts are also on the market, with new edibles from cannabis company La Familia blazing the trail. THC-infused churro rice krispies, cookies made with Abuelita hot chocolate, and a dark chocolate cajeta bar are the ultimate in marijuana desserts.
For the chocoholics among us, Kiva Confections offers the dream: marijuana chocolate in every flavor imaginable. Chocolate CBD bars are great for cannabis newbies, and 100-milligram THC bars of toffee crunch dark chocolate are a great buy for marijuana lovers. We also love Kiva’s Terra Bites, which are perfect for a purse. Small, round sea salt caramel milk chocolate bites and chocolate-covered espresso beans make for delicious sweet snacks that will get you high.
