Parking is always hard to find in this area. Cashless store. Ice cream is just ice cream, nothing special.
We liked this place a lot. It's a cute shop with only 1 person working. He was very nice. The mango soft serve had a lot of mango flavor. The flavor was very similar to the Chinese mango pudding. The milk flavor soft serve was simple but delicious. All the coffee drinks are $4.99 til 5pm so I ordered the banana coffee. Great place for sweet treats especially on a warm day!
Came after dinner for dessert and did not disappoint! Soft serve ice cream and few drinks as well! Sold me on dalgona since they didn't have chocolate dip. My dalgona was so creamy and right amount of coffee! Loved it. The cotton candy ice cream so pretty.kids love their ice cream too not so sweet.
The ice creams were refreshing and delicious especially after dinner. We ordered the Dubai chocolate ice cream and mango Melo. Service was great, we didn't wait in line as it was late already. Very casual vibes. Noise level minimal. Parking was hard to find. The parking lot was full that we have to find parking 3 blocks away.
Thank you Nobibi for meeting my sweet tooth and making creamy and deliciously sweet ice cream. My co worker and I got the biscoff and Oreo ice cream they are all in cups and drizzled with the appropriate toppings. In the bottom there are Frosted Flakes which was a surprise. I loved the biscoff as they had crumbles inside and they had a drizzle of caramel. The place has lots of seating and the customer service was great.
AMBIANCE: Cute late-night dessert spot in Convoy. Has small table seating, but can get crowded. You order using their self-serve kiosk and they call out your order. SERVICE: Friendly staff and desserts came out quick. I didn't hear exactly what one of the guys said when I picked up my 2nd cotton candy order (it was that good LOL) but it was along the lines of "you guys must really like cotton candy" and was pretty funny. FOOD: I LOVE cotton candy and will always get it whenever available. They make the cotton candy when you order so it's fresh and for $7, I think it's worth it (although it is literally just sugar). They also have drink pairings where you can get a boba drink with cotton candy on top.
Nobibi more like yes bi bi!! It's such a fun word to say~ I had the pleasure of trying this out recently and it was so good! I got the mango milk and it tasted so refreshing. They give a pretty big amount I feel like two can def share. I didn't know that it was a chain because it's my first time trying it. They have pretty interesting/ trendy flavors like matcha and I think I saw something with Dubai chocolate not too sure and they even have drinks. This would be perfect for summer and it wasn't too sweet which is the highest compliment a dessert can get imo! There are couple tables to sit at, could possibly fit a bigger group. Parking was rough because I went on a weekend but service is pretty fast. It's in a nice plaza with tons of places to eat around!
Crowded! Friday night is hopping at Nobibi!! Even being crowded, they were friendly and fast. We waited only about 5 minutes for our treats. They're made fresh for each order so that's pretty impressive. My wife really loved her Biscoff. I tired it as well and it was very good! My choco was good but I was not a fan of the cone. I assumed it was a traditional waffle cone but I think it ma have been a matcha waffle cone. Definitely not the sweet crunch I was expecting. I will say, this is 100% my opinion and taste preference. The ice cream was delicious and the cone was super crisp, just not for me. Would absolutely grab another sweet treat from Nobibi but would go cup or one of their custom creations.
Surprisingly delicious, came here for dessert and it didn't disappoint! The staff is friendly and it's a big spot with plenty of seating available.
We wanted a refreshing dessert after dinner, and decided to check out Nobibi. I didn't know they actually have quite a few locations, including Indonesia. I got the mango mellow ice cream ($7.99), and it came with crystal pearls and mango chunks spread pretty evenly throughout. The mango puree and cornflakes were mostly at the bottom of the cup so it got a bit too sweet in my last bites. My friend got the strawberry blush ($6.99) which had strawberries, crystal boba and cornflakes. It came with a good amount of strawberry slices, and even had two strawberry pocky sticks at the top. He enjoyed it! The service was pretty quick, and it had a good amount of tables for the amount of customers. The parking was tough because it's in the same plaza as Fire Spot, Tasty Noodle House, and Taco Stand. All in all, this is a solid dessert spot!
I visited this location on a weekday while waiting for kbbq. First of all this parking lot is a nightmare, so if you're coming here specifically for dessert after dinner, I'd pass. Otherwise, great place to kill time. Parking is also technically not free. There's a lot of seating instead, great for small groups. They offer a pretty basic dessert drink/soft serve menu with things like mango, chocolate, ube. Also seems like there could be seasonal/rotating items. I got the dubai chocolate softserve - appreciated the attempt at layering but could work on more layers of toppings because it's basically a kinda big cup of soft serve that mainly tastes like chocolate and not much pistachio.
This place has the cutest aesthetics but I think it's hard to recreate what it looks like on the menu. It does take a while for the dessert to come out so you can chill in the limited seating area or wait outside. I got the Dubai soft serve - the soft serve is nice and light but for what it was I wish they loaded it up more w toppings. It was like a small dusting of pistachio instead of what they show in the picture. Also, I noticed that there was a huge gap in the middle of the dessert so the ice cream is not as much as you're expecting
It was our first time. Parking can be a bit of a challenge because they are located around several others businesses that share the same lot. We tried the dairy free Dole strawberry mini cloud, it was so good!! I'd definitely order that flavor again! I also ordered the jasmine green tea. The tea was very strong even with sweetener. They have plenty of seating & one single bathroom. Staff is friendly. We will definitely return!

The desserts we ordered were delicious! Our favorite was the mango milk ice cream bubble puff, the ice cream had a really strong mango flavor and was very creamy but still light enough that we finished the entire dessert. Really great service as well, we were there catching up with friends so we sat for a good two hours and the staff were super nice. Highly reccomend this dessert spot! read more

We had Biscoff Ice Cream This is located in arguably the busiest complex on Convoy in Kearny Mesa. Prepare for battle to find parking and even more challenging a disabled parking spot. Points for presentation especially the heart shaped shovel spoon. Otherwise, the ice cream is nothing extraordinary. read more

Walked past this place a couple times and had to finally give it a try! So glad we did-- this place is AMAZING!!! The menu is huge with a diverse selection of sweet treats. There's speciality ice creams, drinks, as well as cotton candy and bubble waffles. There's a wide variety of ice cream flavors that are both unique and tasty! The shop itself is spacious with lots of seating options and aesthetic photo ops. The gentleman that helped us, Jacob, was extremely helpful and informative when helping us decide what to get! I went with the ninja ice cream and my boyfriend got a jasmine milk tea with cheese foam. The ninja was a really cool dark color in a chocolate cone with pop rocks and other adornments! The ice cream is very smooth and not too sweet, with a rich chocolate flavor. The jasmine milk tea was also very bold and smooth, which I found delightful as jasmine teas are typically too mellow for my liking. The cheese foam on top was also very thick and flavorful! Overall, this place is completely worth the trip! I'll absolutely be back to try more!!! read more
We stopped by after craving something sweet after we had dinner at Rakiraki Ramen & Tsukemen. Cute little spot with very helpful servers who offered samples since it was our first time. The Egg Puff was delicious and love the Biscoff Ice Cream with corn cereal. Nice contrast of creamy and crunchy texture with caramel drizzle. Egg Puff $5.99 Biscoff Ice Cream $6.99 Creamy Ice Cream swirled with rich Caramel and chunks of crunchy Biscoff Cookies, creating a delightful blend of smooth and crunchy textures. read more

tasted very good, but just be warned: ordering the flora ice cream means that you'll be biting into a mouthful of chamomile powder lol!! was addictive though AND WOULD DEFINITELY COME BACK AGAIN!! so many interesting options i've yet to try.. speedy service as well. read more
I came across an Instagram post that advertised Nobibi's grand opening in Kearny Mesa. As soon as I saw the desserts, I knew I had to try them out. To start off, the shop is so cute and well decorated. The service was excellent as well! The cashier was extremely polite and had great customer service skills. We ended up ordering the s'more, flora, and dream cloud. I loved the flavor and consistency of their ice cream--it was so creamy! I do think that Nobibi has better soft serve than many of the other places I have tried in San Diego. However, it appears that each of the ice cream items have the same base (vanilla or maybe milk ice cream) and only differ in the additional toppings they add. I was a bit disappointed because I had hoped that the flavor of the ice cream, itself, would differ. For instance, for the s'more I was expecting a bit more, like maybe even some chocolate? Besides the toppings, it kind of felt as if we ordered the same item three times. Thankfully, because we came on their opening weekend, all of the items were 50% off. Overall, I do think that I would likely return to try out a different item off of their menu. read more

Wanted to try this spot since I saw it pop up on Instagram and it did not disappoint. I got the egg waffle with strawberry dole whip, dried strawberry crumble and caramel. My GF got the Dalgona Ice Cream which comes with Dalgona coffee, caramel and cornflakes. Both were very good. The ice cream is very creamy and the prices were satisfactory as well! read more
First time coming here and I'm a fan! We came around 8:30 pm on a Friday and it was pretty packed but we luckily found a table. Cute and clean interior. We got the biscoff ice cream and all LOVED it!! It was delicious, smooth, creamy and perfectly sweet. I liked how you can choose the ice cream flavor and we went with the milk ice cream. The biscoff cookie and crumbs, caramel drizzle and cornflakes at the bottom were perfect toppings. Size was okay for 3 people, I wish there was more! I would definitely come back to try their other items. read more

First time here- came around 8:30PM Friday night and it was pretty packed but we luckily got a table. We got the biscoff ice cream (milk) which was DELICIOUS! I love biscoff anything and it was perfectly sweet and had caramel drizzle. biscoff crumbs and frosted flakes throughout. Okay size for $7. My friend's taro ice cream was pretty good too. Would definitely come back to try their other treats or drinks as well! read more

Located in one of Convoy's busiest plazas surrounded by amazing dinner options, Nobibi is a perfect post-meal dessert stop. I came here for the soft serve and it didn't disappoint. I especially loved the Oreo ice cream paired with their signature Ninja cone, which has subtle hints of cocoa. Found that they have a bunch of seating and a cute interior so you can definitely enjoy your dessert in a comfortable space. HIGHLY recommend saving room for dessert and coming here to grab a sweet treat to end the night! read more

I've always passed this place but today was my first time going in. I'm so glad I did because everything looked so delicious, it was so hard to make a decision. I am so sad that I'm lactose intolerant because the soft serve here looked amazing. I got the cheesy foam strawberry slush. I thought it was okay, I definitely should've gotten a topping with it. I had a bite of my sister's soft serve and fell in love. I wish I could have eaten the whole thing. It was so delicious. I want to come back here to try the other drinks. The seating is nice, there's 2 sofas as well. The drinks took a while because it was busy. read more

Tried the ube and red bean ice cream and honestly loved it. The ube was super creamy, and the red beans gave it that perfect sweet bite. It's a little different but in the best way- feels like comfort dessert with a twist. The staff so sweet and friendly read more

I've tried this spot about four times. First drink was when they first opened and it was their thai tea, second my friend bought me the dalgona matcha, and third time was when I suggested my friends to try this spot since it's in the same vicinity where we had dinner. They ordered the dubai chocolate ice cream and I wish I had a picture of it. The chocolate was so creamy and just the strong flavor of rich chocolate, that I love. With the added toppings of crunch from the corn flakes and kanafe. But I would def. order the chocolate soft serve alone. Another time I ordered the specialty coffee which is a banana coffee. I'm a fan of banana flavor drinks so this was really good. Milk was rich and the coffee complimented the banana well. Some spots when making the banana coffee drink, it would be too much coffee and less banana. But here it was done right. This spot does have a kiosk to place orders too when it's busy or don't want to engage much with the cashier. Also decor in here is cute! read more
I wanted to try Nobibi since I had heard it was newer in Convoy! The dessert was really good, I went for the Biscoff Soft Serve with Milk Ice Cream. San Diego doesn't have a lot of Soft Serve specialized stores so this is a good break from our endless boba options. Love that you can choose which soft serve flavor you like regardless of which "topping" selection you order on the menu. There are a few tables and seating is pretty good for being a smaller space. Only qualm I have is with the parking (but that's the case for every place in the Convoy area). The parking lot is very busy and I usually don't even try and am able to find parking on the side streets. read more

This dessert spot might be my go to whenever I'm in Convoy. We got the Biscoff Ice cream Sunday and chose the Taro ice cream as the base. The employees are super nice! The parking situation is a little scarce so I'd recommend parking on the street and walking. The ice cream and place itself is very instagram worthy. I'll come back to try the different flavors! read more

I really liked it here! Super cute my friend and I got to go and I got the Dubai chocolate ice cream with pistachios. I love the ambiance it's really inviting and calm. read more
The place is so nicely decorated, with cute ice creams to the wall, the owner could tell it was our first time there and he explained the menu and offered us samples! We got coffee but will definitely come back for the ice cream as the flavors are nice and rich. We got Dalgona coffee which was sooo good The coffee is a cream cap with milk to mix with, is it on the sweeter side since it's "dalgona" cream read more

The inside of this place is so cute and very instagrammable! They have a selection of ice creams, drinks, and cotton candy. I tried both their milk teas and the ice cream, but I think the ice cream was a better choice. The Biscoff ice cream was a soft serve that had cereal at the bottom that I really liked because of the change in textures. A really cute date spot if your person loves sweets or cute photos! read more

I came with a party of 4 and 2 of us were able to order just fine. But after the 2 of us ordered, the workers started to make all the current orders. The other 2 in our party had to order through the kiosk and they didn't get their ice cream orders until 10 min after we got ours. The ice cream itself was sweet and creamy but I think the staff should have 3 workers as opposed to 2. The inside is really cute! Heads up that the parking lot can get busy so I would find street parking. read more
Great service , great price and delicious ice cream! What more do you want?!?!! . Stop giving bad reviews because of parking. It's not their fault the city decided to take away street parking and put bike lanes. Come check them out! read more

New new boba and ice cream place in San Diego! Grand opening on September 21-22 with 50% off everything! The first 100 customers on the first day received a free Flora ice cream as well. So exciting! It's located in between The Taco Shop and Tofu House (new pho place opening up in between!) in Convoy Ct on Convoy St in Kearny Mesa. This is one of the worse parking lots in Convoy. There's a quite a bit of stalls but narrow stalls... and because of so many eateries, it's almost impossible to find a spot during lunch and dinner hours. I saw an ad on Instagram that there was a new place opening up, and it was perfect because my boyfriend and I were going to be in the area on their first grand opening day. We decided to check it out and order their House Coffee with Cheese Foam and Red Bean & Taro Ice Cream. As we were one of the first 100 customers as well, we got a free Flora ice cream which is a flavored dusting and Chamomille. The House Coffee was GOOD - super strong and bitter, the way I love my coffee. There's no adjustments in sweetness so I was super grateful it wasn't that sweet. The only down side was the crazy amount of ice there was. The ice took up 3/4 of the cup which sucked sigh. Thankfully, the ice was crushed rather the big cubes. And honestly, the delicious coffee definitely makes up for it! The ice creams all reminded me of a McDonald's soft serve consistency. Loved how smooth the ice creams were and the aesthetics of both ice creams! The red bean and taro one was really good, not too sweet either! The cornflakes were on the bottom which was kind of interesting. The Flora one wasn't unique, in my opinion, as it was mainly just a vanilla ice cream in a cone. The cone was quite good though! Not sure if it's chocolate flavor? The aesthetics for this one was beautiful though! We liked it so much (especially the deals, haha) that we came back on their second grand opening day before lunch! I got their Matcha Red Bean with Oolong, 50% sweetness, and my boyfriend for their Thai Tea, 50% sweetness. My drink was okay. It was quite watery in my opinion. No nice oolong flavor I was hoping for sad. Not a favorite comparing it to the coffee. The Thai tea was good - more on the creamy side which I somewhat liked and didn't. My friend got their Roasted Milk Tea Brûlée. This was VERY good. It has a nice strongish tea flavor with a hint of roastiness which I liked a lot! Definitely one I'll get in the future. Overall, a great new place for both ice cream and drinks! I do want to come back for other drinks in the future. read more

First time here and was pleasantly impressed! They have the option to order on the kiosk but also the option to order at the counter. It's a nice clean shop with a brightly lit sitting area. A beautiful plant that grows along the wall. Each wall is IG worthy for photos. So many options to try but we went with the Biscoff Ice Cream which was absolutely delicious!! You can change the ice cream flavor but I recommend just sticking with the regular milk flavor. There are cornflakes down at the bottom which was a nice surprise. We also ordered their Lychee-Dragonfruit slush which wasn't too bad but probably wouldn't order it next time. Service was great since they were out of Taro products so the young girl let me know before I started my order. I appreciated that very much. Towards the end, i placed a to-go order for a Strawberry Blush and that probably wasn't the best idea but it survived the drive home. Hopefully they can come up with a better togo cup for that but overall, I really enjoyed my time here. Definitely going back again. read more

New ice cream chain in SD, so I had to try it out. I got one of their house specials and tbh it wasn't anything crazy. Tasted like regular soft serve with simple ingredients on top. The service was atleast quick and the person at the register sort of explained their concept to help differentiate them from the other ice cream shops. Small seating, but enough for people to come and go without a long wait. Can't wait to see what else they introduce on their menu! read more
I really liked the interior of Nobibi. The atmosphere was great and service was good. The presentation of my ice cream was also really great. I liked that there was a disc of protection between the melting ice cream and my hand. Overall my experience was good, but I did not enjoy the black sesame ice cream. It was a little icy and not very flavorful -- far from what I expected it to taste like. When I'm eating on Convoy again I look forward to trying another flavor and updating my review. read more

Very cutesy little place but parking is horrible, I mean we are on Convoy! Cute decorations, I had to get the cloud for my Yelp pictures! The vanilla ice cream tastes normal to me, I wish they let you choose the ice cream flavor, maybe I could've asked? The cotton Candy was quite sweet but it is very pretty to look at, definitely shareable read more

Came during soft opening which was a day before the grand opening special. The interior is very nice and clean. Love that the manager is working with the employees to get service done. We ordered the floral black sesame. Ice cream was good but will also caution that the flowers are not edible - which is a bit disappointing for me. It was there to look pretty. read more
