Dubai chocolate was delectable; the combination of strawberries, chocolate and crushed peanuts were on point. I also tried the lotus and pistachio gelato, but the lotus is my favorite out of the two. This location is located inside the mall, right next to Living Spaces and UFC Fit. Limited indoor seating. Good customer service.

The pistachio gelato was spectacular! I tried a couple samples: the mango was very fruity and fresh, cookies flavor was on the sweeter side. There were too many to try but I ended up with the pistachio California gelato that was verrrry delicious and smooth earthy nutty flavor. My bf got the lotus he said it tasted like biscoff cookie but creamy and sweet. The customer service was great no line at the mall surprisingly on a busy Sunday. The booth of the store was clean from what I can see from the outside which is great. Presentation is everything when you buy food/ice cream anywhere! 10/10 rating the sweet staff that was helpful that was working. We will come back again!

The portions are so worth it! The staff was very friendly and patient as I was sampling and raking forever to order. We were pleasantly surprised when we saw how much she put in the cup and realized we could have shared a medium cup. The flavors are not too strong but decent imo. It's a nice treat if you're tired from walking in the mall!

This shop is located in Oakridge mall, and they have many interesting flavors. I tasted the pistachio, which when really good, is my favorite flavor; theirs was just okay. I had the Ferraro rocher and strawberries & cream. Of the two, the strawberries & cream was sweeter and the flavors stronger; I much preferred it over the Ferraro rocher, which surprised me. My husband had an flavor that combined almonds, caramel, and something else I cannot remember, but it is light brown/beige in color. He liked it, but I thought it had a strange aftertaste. I like his second flavor much more, a pomegranite & I think ricotta combo. So, it seems in future, I ought to stick with the flavors that include fruit.

My friend and I were really indecisive on what flavors to get so we asked for a lot of samples and the employee was super nice helping us figure out what we wanted and explaining the flavors to us. We ended up getting like four flavors and it was pretty yummy. This is a personal thing but I think I got too much gelato because by the time I got to my second flavor, the creaminess was getting a bit much for me. Next time, I'd just get one flavor or maybe take it home and eat it later ahahah.

Always a great place to get some ice cream after/while shopping at Oakridge. They have a lot to choose from, also love that you can get waffle and crepe with ice cream, such a nice combination. Great service too, since they allow you to taste which ever flavor you want before ordering. The setting and ambiance is odd, since you will have to sit at the tables provided smack in the middle of the shopping floor. Love this ice cream place. I'm craving for it as I write this.

dubai chocolate banana split

Super underrated spot inside of Oakridge Shopping Center. It's not too busy and the workers are pretty quick about making your order. The dubai chocolate was fantastic - it's "not too sweet" and is crunchy too! Overall good taste and texture. There's a few tables and chairs in the mall next to the shop to eat your ice cream.

Black dark chocolate

La Dolce Gelado is always a treat. Conveniently located in Oakridge Mall, it is a favorite stop for me and my mom. I've tried a few flavors but dark black chocolate is hands down my favorite. The service here tends to be a little on the slow side but I promise it is worth it. The storefront is bright and inviting. With white and green accents. We will continue to stop by whenever we are at the mall.

Crepe

Love seeing a nice gelato place with great service! Staff was super friendly and walked me through my annoying questions about all of their flavors. Their chocolate based gelato are amazing, and their crepe has a great blend of texture and flavor. They had a new drink today - Mango Lemonade Energy, and it paired really well with their sweet treats!

At a prominently located Gelato shop in the mall, the display of various ice cream flavors looked incredibly tempting. I randomly chose the Panna Cotta with Blackberry flavor. The ice cream had a delicate and smooth texture, mixed with blackberry jam. The rich creamy aroma of the ice cream, combined with the sweet and tangy flavor of the blackberry jam, made the taste even more delightful. I'll definitely come back next time to try other flavors.

Banana strawberry with nuttela crepe, top with chocolate ice cream
Tram L.

We were craving for some sweet crepes and so excited to find out this place in South SJ. It's inside Oakridge mall, across from Daiso. Servers were super nice and willing to let us taste whatever flavor we asked for. We got the banana and strawberry crepe with one scoop of chocolate ice cream. It came out $13 per crepe with tax and tip, which is not bad with the high SJ minimum wage (you know what I mean). I personally like my crepe batter to be lighter and crunchier. Their batter is kinda cakey which make it harder to be crunchy. On a side note, it would be great if you can find a table further from the children playground if you don't want to eat with children screaming as your BGM.

Small Gelato (Mint Chocolate and Strawberry)
Anh L.

La Dolce Vita is a small, cute ice cream shop sitting at one end of the mall. It's not in the food court which is interesting considering the placement for food and beverages. The servers were really nice to offer tastings on the spot. I think there is a maximum of 9 flavors you can try out. I tasted the lemon mint and it wasn't my favorite, so I chose something else. They have a wide selection of flavors you can choose and I felt that picking a small size (2 flavors) was good enough. The portion the team provides for the small selection was quite generous. The flavors I selected were mint chocolate chip and strawberry, both in which were delicious and refreshing. I think for a hot summer day, I would like to try the sour flavors next time.

Came for a walk at Oakridge mall and finally decided to give this place a try. The taste was delicious and soft! I cannot wait to come back again for a sweet tooth !

Mint over guava and tiramisu over panna cotta. The flavors were all very good, but the mint was "meh".

I discovered Kenz a couple of years ago when my son was playing flag football at Leigh, and I was…read moreimmediately impressed by the Palestinian flag they proudly display, as they absolutely should. I love this place and come back as often as I can. I'm proud to support a Palestinian-owned business, and I recognize that proudly embracing their heritage in today's climate can come with unfair challenges and even hostility. That's all the more reason I'm happy to continue showing my support for Kenz. And while their matcha & coffee is absolutely worth coming back for, my support goes beyond that. My only gripe is the empanadas are gone and those were the best ever, nothing compares to those.

Kenz has a good amount of coffee/tea options, but overall a simple menu. Didn't see any food options when I came, but perhaps they were just out. Seating is all outdoors, some of it is covered and some of it was not, a mix of patio seating and small tables/counter seating, with artificial turf as ground cover. Since it's all outdoors, pets were welcome! I tried the matcha latte and the maple cardamon latte off the fall specials menu (on recommendation from the barista). I enjoyed both drinks - surprisingly the matcha was less sweet than I expected (not complaining about that), as most places tend to make sure its sweet enough for the clientele. The maple cardamon was a great fall drink (definitely recommend it hot vs iced), but didn't really stand out to me in terms of flavor, it was also on the sweeter side but I expect that for specialty lattes. Price was on par with other coffee places in the bay, not on the cheap side. I'd definitely come back to get the matcha again and try other latte flavors!

While out shopping, my wife and I came across BLVD Coffee and remembered a friend mentioning it…read morebefore--so I figured, why not give it a try? As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by Enrique, who had such a warm and welcoming demeanor. We took a moment to look over the menu, and he quickly picked up that it was our first time. After we confirmed, he asked about our coffee preferences--strong, sweet, or somewhere in the middle--and walked us through the seasonal menu with some great suggestions. My wife ordered the iced lavender vanilla, and I went with the iced café carmelita. He also asked if we wanted food, so we tried the lemon blueberry loaf and a turkey avocado sandwich. Everything did not disappoint. The drinks were amazing--Enrique absolutely nailed the recommendations--and the turkey avocado sandwich was especially memorable. While our drinks were being made, we had some friendly small talk with the staff, which added to the experience. The overall vibe was great. The team was super friendly and attentive--when a line started forming, other staff jumped in right away to make sure no one was left waiting. I'm really glad we stopped in and gave this place a shot. We'll definitely be back!

I'm a fan of Blvd coffee in Los Gatos so this week I decided to check out Blvd's Almaden location…read more The Almaden location is larger, brightly lit due to its larger windows, and has more seating.

This review is about Eva, the lovely store manager. She greets us with a warm smile every time…read more She's friendly and knowledgeable, goes above and beyond to service her customers. It's very rare to find people who are super cognizant of dietary restrictions but Eva takes it to the next level. She noticed we were ordering drinks without dairy so she let us know when we added a foam that had dairy in it. This was so appreciated because my daughter has an allergy where she breaks out in painful rashes when she has even a small amount of dairy. Then on a different visit weeks later she noticed again we had ordered a beverage that contained a pumpkin foam and so she let us know it had dairy in it. Then she worked with us to create an alternate drink without any dairy. Most people just make whatever drink you order without question and often even when we emphasize our allergy, things get overlooked. It can be difficult to navigate when eating out but people like Eva make it so much more enjoyable.

New weekend, so I tried another boba place! This one is in a busy complex off Almaden Expressway,…read morewith lots of competing businesses (including an Ume tea two doors down that I'll have to check out in the future). This is one of those complexes that has a large parking lot, but I feel like everyone drives too aggressively. Easy enough to find parking. When I walked in, I was greeted in a friendly manner, which is not always something that happens in tea shops. I ordered the lychee tea with lychee, and got it at half sweetness, and it was perfectly refreshing. Drinks are made quickly and efficiently. They do have a bit of space if you want to sit and drink, but it is not really a spot where I could see someone socializing or studying.
