    Cotton candy and cookies and cream
    Trang N.

    Dippin' dots brings me so many childhood memories. I'm so glad they are still around so I can share it with my daughter. We introduced her to dippin' dots about 3 years ago. That is her go to ice cream every time we go to the mall. Her favorite is cotton candy and I do admit it is pretty good! I haven't had a flavor that I didn't like. I remember they had more flavors though so maybe they kept the popular flavors. I wish our grocery stores would sell big packs of these! Service was good but could have been better. The girl helping seemed a bit tired or bored but she still made a a small effort to try to be friendly.

    Banana split (small).

    Banana split ice cream is my weakness and served in rainbow colored little dots? Yes please! Yep, I admit I was drawn to this ice cream stand inside the Great Mall because of the bead sized ice cream and the long lines (what can I say, I'm fascinated with lines heh!). I thought it would be a cute and fun twist of an otherwise boring ice cream. Sadly, I wasn't digging it.. The ice cream tasted a little weird for me; it felt like eating dry ice and tasted just too darn cold! A small cup costs about $4; a little overpriced in my opinion. However, since there is nothing like a cute bead sized ice cream around, it's good to try at least once :)

    Dippin' dots was a thing for amusement parks but now are full out available at the mall! Honestly pretty overpriced, but I mean they're still fun to have once in a while. My favorites the banana split! Get the biggest size and you can have 3 different flavors in one cup!

    Nice ice cream in different form and flavours. Felt it's over priced here. We usually eat the cookie dough more often. I'm a big fan of chocolate flavour. If you get a bigger cup, we can get more flavours. We can have multiple flavours in the same cup.

    I came to this dip n dots in the middle of the day and nobody was to be found! Stood around for about 10 minutes but I still nothing.

    Doesn't treat employees like their customers. "We treat our employees well" they said...nope, not true. I don't recommend this place.

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.

There's usually 1-2 ladies working when we come in (usually after dinner) and they're always very nice and inviting. There was even a time when they ran out of brownies and they were able to substitute it for chocolate cake instead. The only downside about this location is that there are a lot of homeless individuals that walk around the plaza. There was even an instance where there was a homeless individual sleeping right outside the door. I just hope the workers are safe at night when closing up. Overall, we've continued to come back to this location when we're craving ice cream!

Although, I did think that it would come with lucky charms in it, since it looked like that in the picture lol. I was afraid the Lucky Charms was going to be too sweet, but it was actually perfect for me. I got the cheesecake halfed with Lucky Charms. The cheesecake was more subtle and had a great flavor that actually tasted like cheesecake. My friend got the cheesecake factory ice cream with graham crackers, and it was amazing! Each of these were 7.99 each. The service was super quick and they were nice. The place is small. I just wish they had more variety of flavors and new ones.

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.
