Remicone
A South Korean "premium ice cream" brand tailor-made for Instagram
Recently replacing Fika Fika Creamery inside Stanton’s Rodeo 39 Public Market, Remicone hails from South Korea and calls itself a “premium soft-serve ice cream” brand. That may be true by comparison with Dairy Queen, but by Orange County’s generally higher standards, Remicone’s only premium touches are cosmetic – there’s nothing special about the textures or flavors here.
Seemingly designed more with Instagram in mind than anything else, the soft serve here makes a mostly visual impression. Guests can choose from or mix three flavors (milk, chocolate, or POG ice cream), then select from a bunch of largely familiar toppings.
The Hawaiian Beach (with blue lemon and coconut crumble) was sort of a pina colada-minus, more appealing for the tropical paper umbrella and ocean-colored gel than the ice cream; options like the gray cotton candy-topped Thunder Bomb, Heart Meringue, and mango-sauced, mini-macaron laden Mangocaron are mildly interesting.
At roughly $8-9 each, the desserts struggle to compete on flavor with earlier local Korean ice cream alternatives such as SomiSomi, which combines a wider array of soft serve flavors with compelling taiyaki cones and fillings. But Remicone’s offerings are cute, and if that’s enough for you, give them a try.
