We went here thanks to Yelp as this would have been just another place we walk by. The decor feels…read morelike a 70 ice cream place with black and white floors and older pictures on the walls. It is a small place but the ice cream packs a punch. The service is what you would expect. They allow you to taste some flavors before buying. We had the mango, burnt sesame and strawberry. We liked all of them but the burnt sesame was AMAZING!!! The large chunks of sesame bark was an explosion of flavor. Love it and we would definitely come back again.

Amazing! Delicious! Decadent! My husband and I stopped by Sugar Mama for some ice cream cravings!…read moreWe got the famed black sesame along with the butterscotch. The black sesame was lovely- strong nutty notes with little pieces of brittle. The butterscotch was nostalgic and tasted like a wethers. It was so tasty and reminiscent of my childhood. The service is excellent; the owner is so friendly and kind. She lets you try any flavors as well! We will be coming back next weekend for ice cream again!

I just want to share how satisfied and happy we are with the crepe cake I purchased for my husband…read more It was absolutely perfect! The design was so classy, elegant, and truly above my expectations. You can really see the care and creativity that went into making it. My husband was so happy when he saw it, and it made the celebration even more special for us. I also want to give a special thanks to the manager at the San Jose location. When I mentioned that we would be traveling in the car for about 7 hours, they were so kind and helpful in giving us options to make sure the cake would stay perfect during the trip. Their suggestion worked so well! Overall, I am beyond satisfied with both the cake and the wonderful customer service. Highly recommend! Thank you for making our celebration extra special.

I was craving crepe cake so I found this place. It's kind of at a weird location. It's pickup only…read moreso I ordered the tiramisu crepe cake, and they got it to me really quick when I arrived. There's no where to dine in so you take it and leave. I didn't enjoy the tiramisu crepe cake. I think it was a little too mushy for me. It didn't have the mascarpone flavor of tiramisu. It was also very very expensive. I'd recommend going to Lady M in Valley Fair for better crepe cakes.

This place is an absolute win, especially for anyone looking for high-quality dairy-free options!…read moreIt's rare to find a spot where the textures and flavors are this spot-on without the dairy. I tried a variety of items and everything was incredibly delicious: * Coconut Ice Bomb with Mango: Super refreshing and the perfect tropical treat. * Taro Pudding Vegan Sago: This hit the spot. The pudding was smooth and the sago added a great texture--love that this is a vegan-friendly staple. * Nutty Noir & Black Sesame Hojicha Latte: (Note: these two are not vegan, but definitely worth a try if you aren't strictly plant-based). The Black Sesame Hojicha has such a deep, roasted flavor that isn't too sweet. Overall, the quality here is top-tier. Whether you're dairy-free or just looking for a unique dessert/drink, you can't go wrong. Highly recommend!

Sulbing is a Korean dessert café best known for bingsu, a shaved ice dessert made with an…read moreincredibly fine texture that feels closer to snow than traditional shaved ice. We walked into a clean, modern space with a casual café feel that works well for stopping by after a meal or meeting up with friends for something sweet. The shop focuses on creative variations of bingsu with toppings ranging from fruit to chocolate, matcha, and other dessert-inspired flavors, and the layout encourages lingering over a shared dessert rather than rushing through a quick stop. The biggest highlight is the texture of the shaved ice itself. The ice is extremely soft and light, melting quickly while still holding the flavors from the toppings and condensed milk. We ordered the Injeolmi Sulbing, which showcases the more traditional side with nutty flavors, and the combination of the fine ice, chewy rice cake, and nutty powder created a dessert that felt both refreshing and satisfying. The Tiramisu and Chocolate Brownie Sulbing turn it into a much more indulgent experience, with richer flavors that feel closer to a full dessert than a light treat. The presentation is impressive, with each bowl arriving looking carefully composed, and the layers of toppings are distributed well enough that you get a good mix in every spoonful. The portions are also a major part of the appeal. A single bingsu is easily shareable, making it a good choice for groups or anyone looking for a dessert to split after a meal. We found that sharing worked well, as the portion was generous enough to satisfy two people without feeling like we were missing out. Beyond bingsu, they also offer items like toast and other sweet treats, which give the menu more variety and make it a place you can visit even if you are not in the mood for shaved ice. The main thing to keep in mind is that the experience depends heavily on the flavor you choose. Some versions rely more on the toppings for their flavor, while others feel more balanced throughout. The presentation is impressive, but certain options may feel less satisfying if you expect every bite to have the same intensity as the first. The fruit-based versions, for example, rely on the freshness of the fruit to carry the dessert, while the chocolate and tiramisu versions have a more consistent richness from the base itself. Sulbing is a great spot for trying Korean-style shaved ice. The unique texture, large portions, and variety of flavors make it stand out from typical dessert shops, especially if you enjoy lighter desserts with creative toppings. The balance of refreshing and indulgent options across the menu gives you room to explore different styles on repeat visits, and the quality of the ingredients makes each bowl feel considered and well composed.

Friendly service. Nice vibe. Clean floor and table…read more Interesting menu that I don't typically see in Vietnamese dessert place. Both of our drinks are very good, bring us back to Vietnam. I believe their toppings are made fresh daily. Very good. Not too sweet. Not too sugary after taste. The coconut milk, not sure if they use the canned one or not but wow very good! The other drink amazing too with bits of soursoup fruits just like in Vietnam. They should do franchise in San Diego.

My husband and I visited while waiting for a table at Flaming Ox, the restaurant next door. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted warmly by the cashier and we browsed around leisurely looking at all the different food items. This establishment is small, but there are so many different offerings: pineapple cakes (a Taiwanese staple), chili oil, tea, coffee, ice cream, and so much more. I'd really love to come back here and try out the more unique foods like their rice cakes and mung bean ice cream, but my husband and I got a notification that our table was ready so we went to eat our lunch. We returned after our meal and were greeted again. We looked at all the pineapple cakes again because my family enjoys them so much and my husband wanted to gift them a box for a Christmas present. All of the boxes are so beautifully designed and we finally settled on one. The cashier was very kind and talked to us about the iTaiwan membership and how to get the most benefits out of it. She also packaged the pineapple cakes in a cute bag for us for free! A very cozy story run by cute people. I will most definitely visit again.

We got ice cream as a dessert after getting some AYCE BBQ and this was the perfect place to get something that's sweet but not too sweet. Decent amount of parking and I love the photo op statue and the cute ice cream cone seats they have outside too. Love the little bit of personality there. There's seating and tables inside and if you want to try a flavor, they're more than happy to let you sample them. Customer service is friendly and they STACK the scoops of ice cream. Got a triple scoop and we had to get lids and take it to go since it was so much ice cream. More than enough to share and take home as leftovers. Our friend got a croffle and loved it. They also have boba drinks, ice cream cakes, and ice cream pints too. Make sure to call in advance just in case. For our triple scoop, we got the: 1) Lychee Rose: -Real lychee with rose water flavor. -Sweet lychee flavor with an ending note of rose water. Very elegant and complex flavor and definitely something I would expect from a fancy artisanal ice cream place. Good stuff and definitely recommend if you're a rose flavor fan. Not artificial or overbearing like other rose flavored items. 2) Peach Oolong: -Subtle taste of oolong tea with the sweetness of white peaches. -It's a very Asian inspired flavor and reminds me of those yummy peach oolong boxed teas that you can get from the Asian market. -This was my favorite of the 3 and I devoured this one first (after taking it back as leftovers). Definitely will get this again. 3) Pina Colada: -Creamy coconut with real pineapple chunks inside. -Not tart whatsoever, you get a fresh burst of pineapple taste from the chunks, but it's largely a coconut flavor ice cream with the subtle taste of pineapple. Refreshing, tropical summer flavor. All of their ice cream is super smooth, creamy, with a velvety texture. Even putting in the freezer and enjoying 1-2 days after, still great quality. They sold out of their super cute mascot keychains, but hopefully the next visit I can get one!

Item comes out very quickly and they have a stamping system for your purchases. 10 stamps will allow you to redeem an item. It would be nice to have an online stamping system like cashapp or something so that customers don't have to hold onto a physical card. Deals: Happy Hour Deal Mon-Fri (1pm-5:30pm) Set 1 $8 (1 croffle) Set 2 $12 (1 drink, 1 croffle) Set 3 $17 (2 drinks, 1 croffle) Set 4 $22 (2 drinks, 2 croffles) +$2 for ice cream scoop (only 1 per croffle) I ordered the Set 2: Matcha Latte, and Strawberry Cream Cheese w/Madagascar Vanilla ice cream croffle. The croffle and ice cream were very good! Not too sweet and just savory enough. If I could critique one thing, I wish the croffle was a little bit crispier! For the matcha latte, it was a bit sweeter than I expected. Unfortunately, milk alternatives here are limited and premixed matcha lattes only have whole milk. Would give it a 5-star if there could be more icecream options that are non-dairy! Interior: 4-5 tables with seating enough for around 12-20 people. They also sell mini cakes and pints which are SO cute! I will definitely try it next time.

That warm & cold combo is a total game changer! Don't believe me??? Try it!!! We went with a big group and tried a bit of everything: My Order: Cookies & Crème soft serve with Fruity Pebbles. My Sister: Matcha & Milk soft serve with Cocoa Pebbles. My Girl: Matcha & Milk combo with Custard filling and Graham Cracker sprinkles. We also grabbed a 5-pack of Taiyaki to try all the flavors. The Cookies & Crème and Custard were solid classics, and the Red Bean and Cheddar are must-tries if you want something different. But the standout was the Dubai Chocolate yummmmmy!!! seasonal flavor catch it while you can! Huge thanks to the crew for being patient with our order as some of us couldn't decide what they wanted as their toppings lol. This spot is a 10/10 for dessert in San Jose!

There is a park across the street so it would be a great option to eat there as well. There's three kiosk to order from which makes things more efficient when it's busy. I've been living Somisomi over the years and I love the taiyaki here the most. It's so crispy on the outside and super soft on the inside. I haven't been here in a while and saw that they have a dubai chocolate taiyaki flavor so I had to try it!! My absolute favorite is the nutella one you can't go wrong with it. I got 2 taiyaki, 1 nutella and 1 dubai chocolate to try. I wish that there was more nutella filling inside there wasn't that much this time :/ The dubai chocolate one was so disappointing. It was hard to eat and it was a lot to chew. The inside was a bit dry, I think there could be more of the pistachio creme inside. Wouldn't get the dubai chocolate taiyaki again since the other flavors are so much better.
