    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!

    Cookie dough, vanilla, strawberry flavours

    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.

    I went to this Dippin' Dots in the middle of the day and nobody was to be found! I waited around for a while but still nothing. How disappointing.

    Banana Split!!!

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

    Now, I wasn't much of a fan of this place but my girlfriend finally showed me how to do Somi Somi…read morethe right way, and now I guess you can say I'm part of the club After you've ordered you want to take a bite of the warm Taiyaki first, then scoop up some of the soft serve and eat them together. 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!

    This location has plenty of parking and the inside is more of a grab and go spot. There is a bar…read morearea where people are able to stand and eat. 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.
