When I first glimpsed one of these crazy ice cream sundaes in my Instagram feed, I knew I needed to taste one. Apparently, I wasn't the only one thinking that. These churro-soft serve mash-ups are the latest dessert craze in the sweet candy land of Orange County. "We've sold up to 1500 a day and people have waited up to 2 hours in line just to get one," says co-founder of The Loop, Jed Cartojano.

This is no accident: Cartojano runs the popular Instagram account @dailyfoodfeed and knew that if he opened up his own dessert shop, he had to be sure of one thing: No one could leave without snapping a pic. Savvy enough to understand the power of an envy-inducing food pic, Cartojano and his business partners saw how popular loop churros were in Japan and decided to bring them to Southern California.

Each churro gets shaped into a loop, fried and coated in cinnamon-sugar, then glazed and topped with colorful, decadent ingredients like Fruity Pebbles, warm cookie butter (my personal fav), crushed almonds, Oreos, and the list goes on.

I'm a huge Churro obsessive, but I never thought the combo with vanilla soft serve would be this magical. Oh, but it is. "We only have one soft serve machine," Cartojano says, "and have been told by our vendors that we sell more of it than soft serve ice cream stores!" It's all for that pic.
