What an amazing little shop right next to one of my favorite taquerias. My partner and I were…read morelooking for a sweet treat! We were enticed by their water-based or diary options that they had available and you were able to get two scoops with their smallest option. Getting two flavors is the best! I got watermelon and lemon while my partner got strawberry and lemon. Overall service was amazing and the shop was really cute. We're craving more Italian Ice for our next visit!

I was distracted by paying that I didn't see how she did the swirl on my scoop. They do it by hand. Either way, I enjoyed my scoop tremendously and hope this place is still there when I come back next year for vacation.

Dish review: - Brussel sprouts: Amazing! Flavorful,…read morecaramelized, sweet, almost my #1 dish - BBQ ribs: Fall off the bone tender meat, roasted texture, and glazed sauce was delicious - Puffed rice: Love the medley of flavors - tangy, savory, refreshing mint/cucumber. Texture was crunchy fried goodness. My #1. - Braised chicken: too sour, went too hard on the lemongrass, hard to enjoy because was sour note was too overpowering. Bokchoy cooked soggy which I liked. Everything cooked and served hot. Feels very fresh. Flavors were great. Just be wary of braised chicken curry being sour.

Service and ambiance are excellent, and the food is decent. I would have easily given this place 5…read morestars, but I was disappointed by their policy of automatically adding a 20% service charge/tip before even taking the order. While I understand restaurants sometimes do this, it removes the ability to tip based on the actual service received. I normally tip 10-15% when service falls short of expectations, and a mandatory 20% feels excessive in those situations. It would be better if they let customers decide the gratuity at the end based on their experience. Overall, the atmosphere and staff are nice, but the inflexible tipping policy left a sour note.

Not only is the shaved ice great but the people who work there, the family that runs and operates it are the best! I would 1000% recommend them over and over again. I love the snow cap with the condensed milk and my kids love the ice cream underneath. Hands down a favorite fun spot for dessert or just a nice treat, even when it's chilly out!! They love their customers and are very accommodating. They have root beer floats, hot dogs and an immense amount of flavors! Best shaved ice around!

GOM Snow Desserts Oxnard, CA…read more Date went 5/24/26 Went around 4:45pm on a Sunday, it was pretty busy. Almost every table/seat was filled in the establishment Food ordered Mango Bingsu ($13.50) Hot fish filled with cream ($3.95) Food ratings Mango Bingsu; 7/10 + add hot fish with each bite = 7.5/10 The texture of the Japanese snow ice with the mango was great and melted nicely on the tongue. However, I couldn't help but think how much better it would be if some texture was added. So as a result, we added pieces of our hot fish with each bite and it was even better! It turned this 7/10 to 7.5/10. I love that the size small was big enough for two people to share and light on the stomach so we didn't feel heavy after eating it!

It's tucked into the Fine shops & Restaurant behind the park. The sign for the Kunafa peeves my interested so much I had to Google it. We came inside, were greeted by a super kind employee. I asked her what it was but mispronounced the name. She smilled & politely corrected me then told me what it was. The guy behind us in line told us it was amazing so we ordered it. My hubby got yhr Arabic coffee (made in sand) I got a salted Carmel latte. It cost $44. The Kunafa was absolutely to die for! We shared 1 & in thankful because it's too much for me. The sweet sauce with the salty cheese & crunch of the philo are a perfect combination. Our coffee was strong, just how we like it. We had great service & food. Definitely coming back for icecream. My only suggestion is maybe a sign by the road that you're open late.

Cafe Dolce offers breakfast and lunch items, acai bowls, drinks, and more. They also have a huge selection of Lebanese Baklawa, as well as ice cream. They serve a variety of McConnell's ice creams, as well as an additional case of flavors. I noticed they have a baklava gelato, so I decided to get this! It was pretty good, but I will say the prices are a bit steep for the amount of gelato I received. Fun to try this unique flavor regardless!

They don't have a super extensive menu, but they have all the classic milk and fruit teas. They have boba, popping boba and jelly as toppings. It's reasonably priced, less than $6 for a drink + boba and it's a decent size. I got the Mango Green Tea with boba and it was refreshing! Definitely a solid fruit tea option if you're not in the mood for something heavy and milky.
