    While visiting Santana Row, we came across this ice cream spot that was very popular. It was a side road that was behind the main road in between the parking garages. I'm always down to try a new ice cream places, and this place did not disappoint. We just went with a couple of cups of ice cream and they were very delicious.

    I forgot to take a picture of my hot cocoa and ice cream but I will say there was a group of guys who asked if they could try the ice cream and the cashier gave them ice cream but when I asked if I could try one flavor he said that wasn't possible since the ice cream gets made when you order... I was pretty confused since I saw him give some to the group of guys who did not order anything in the end. I'm not sure if they were his friend but I just find it rude to not allow people to try something when you do it in front of others. The hot chocolate is also too strong I did not enjoy it but if you're a fan of dark chocolate it may be to your liking! The peppermint chip ice cream was pretty delicious and thick.

    Ice cream came out quick in the evening after ordering. Honestly, I wasn't the biggest fan of the banana ice cream flavor for the bad bunny sunday and just wanted to try it, but usually when I come here and get more standard flavors its great.

    Thai Tea Single Scoop ($6.75)
    Rachel L.

    Kind of underwhelming thai tea ice cream with barely any thai tea flavor. I could also taste the sugar chunks in some bites. Texture of the ice cream is like any other ice cream spot so it definitely did not stand out. Also, the double and triple scoop options here only allow one flavor, which I think is weird and unnecessary. Seems like they are just trying to profit more by making you pay for two single scoops if you want two flavors for $6.75 each, rather than get a double with two flavors for $8.50. This is a tiny ice cream shop at the lawn in santana row. Great spot to grab an ice cream and sit down and chat. Service was fast and efficient even though there was quite a long line near closing.

    Cookie Dough with Pretzels & Chocolate Chips
    Yuki K.

    The made-to-order ice cream came out after only about 3 minutes (even with two people in front of me). The cookie dough with pretzels and chocolate chips is amazing! The base is a malted brown sugar ice cream so some nice depth of flavor. The pieces aren't huge so the ice cream looks smooth at first glance but it's packed with stuff in every bite. I sat in the shade but it was 83 F out and even after 10 minutes it only melted a little, not like total soup. Would definitely return to try the other flavors!

    Brookies 'N Cream

    Really cute little ice cream shop! Neat location right on the lawn where they sometimes have live music so that's awesome! I got the brookies n cream flavor and it was great! I love all the chunks and texture in it and the base itself was very creamy. Give this place a try!

    Hey there! We had an amazing day exploring the Santa Row in Silicon Valley and ending June 2025 with a bang. Personally, I've passed by this place a few times before, but I never had the chance to try it until today. Let me tell you, this place is an ice cream lover's paradise!only 5 selections You absolutely must check it out!

    Two scoops of Salted Caramel in a waffle bowl

    LOVE LOVE LOOOOVE Smitten!!! My family and I came to Santana Row for the snow and I was so happy to see that it was happening at the green right where Smitten is located. I've been craving ice cream all day, so how perfect was this?! Smitten had a location right next to where I worked in the Marina Cow Hollow, but sadly they closed. I've missed their delicious and fresh ultra smooth ice cream and sweet waffle cones (and I'm not even a cone person)! Their cones are like no other! Very thin and just the right amount of sweetness- I like to crush my waffle bowl into my ice cream. I chose two scoops of salted caramel in a waffle bowl, and my two children chose strawberry cream in a waffle cone. Once the snow began, it was over. I couldn't even focus on the snow because Smitten stole allll of my attention! I highly recommend smitten for all of you ice cream lovers out there!

    Cookie Dough with Pretzels & Chocolate sauce
    Jessi B.

    Came on a Saturday it was super busy. I ordered the cookie dough and pretzel ice cream with chocolate drizzle. Probably the creamy ice ice cream. I've had it. It's a good balance of sweet and salty. It was a great way to end the day. Great outdoor seating and lots of grass areas for kids to play. Very kid friendly. Overall, the vibe was very nice .

    After lunch, my hubby and youngest wanted ice cream so we went here since it was close. The shop is like a pop up style, the staff is friendly and quick. They have limited flavors to choose from, which is not always bad. The unfortunate thing is that the flavors of ice we had were just meh. I got the cookie dough, pretzel...besides the cookie dough and pretzels, it was too buttery with no other taste. My daughter go and Oreo flavor one which was also meh. The amount of ice cream they put is also very small. I don't want to give it less than 2 because of the fact that it more healthy, quick, and in a good area

    Coffee with Cream & Sugar
    Cynthia L.

    This is a fantastic spot for a quick and satisfying treat. They make their ice cream with liquid nitrogen so the ice cream is so creamy! Their menu offers some creative and seasonal flavors. We opted for the coffee with cream and sugar flavor which had a great balance of rich coffee taste and a slight crunch to it. If you're in Santana Row, make sure to treat yourself after a meal or shopping! There might be a line but it goes by fairly quickly and the ice cream comes out quickly too. You can park in a nearby parking garage for easy parking!

    Matcha and Vanilla
    Janine F.

    We were in the mood for ice cream and swung by Smitten today! I ordered a scoop of the matcha ice cream and my partner got a scoop of the vanilla. Both were really good! Our favorite was the vanilla. Definitely swing by here if you're craving something sweet or need a little treat to cool you off on a hot day!

    Cookie Dough with Pretzels & Chocolate Chips
    Michael P.

    It's not often we get to have Smitten. I'll keep it short and sweet, just like the amount of time it'll take you to finish this delicious ice cream. It's literally made fresh, in front of you with liquid nitrogen and if results in a smooth, tasty ice cream. Part of the point of this shop is the fact that you're getting quite literally the freshest ice cream possible. Your ice cream was made FOR YOU right after you ordered. This is situated right in Santana row and the outdoor area around the shop is awesome to.enjoy your ice cream with some friends and family. The service is pretty quick considering your ice cream is made fresh (10 minutes or less is what we waited). I got the cookie dough with pretzels and chocolate chips. I really enjoyed it. There were lots of cookie dough chunks and the base ice cream was packed with good flavor that was more interesting than just vanilla but not distracting from the tasty cookie dough and salty pretzel bits. I believe it was malted brown sugar flavored ice cream as the base? Overall, I loved it. I think there could have been more pretzel bits but that's just a preference. Coming back over the next week while I'm here for sure! Will probably be alternating between here and salt and straw because who can pick.

I ordered their fresh sugarcane drink, and wow -- it was incredibly refreshing, perfectly balanced, and tasted so pure and natural. You could really tell it was made with real sugarcane; it was lightly sweet, crisp, and incredibly thirst-quenching. It paired beautifully with the desserts! Then came the star of the show: their macarons. These were easily some of the best I've ever had. The shells were perfectly crisp on the outside with that ideal chewy center, and the fillings were rich, flavorful, and not overly sweet. I tried a few different flavors and each one was a little masterpiece -- delicate, elegant, and bursting with taste. They practically melted in my mouth! The ambiance is cozy and inviting, the staff is super friendly, and everything feels made with so much care and passion. If you're looking for a charming spot to satisfy your cravings with high-quality sweets and refreshing drinks, **The Sweet Corner** is a must-visit.

It's an interesting blend that kind of works, even if it takes a second to figure out what the "theme" is supposed to be. They offer a wide range of desserts and drinks. On one side, you've got items like tartufo (chocolate, cappuccino, limoncello, pistachio), sorbets, and cheesecake slices in the display case. On the other side, they have traditional Vietnamese-style desserts like sweet soups (chè), grass jelly, black-eyed bean pudding, and combo desserts with things like cassava, jelly, and coconut. There's also a solid drink menu with milk teas, fruit teas, smoothies, and specialty coffees. I ordered the latte with matcha foam, and while I don't usually go for sweet drinks, this one was definitely on the sweeter side--but still really good. The matcha foam added a nice earthy balance to the coffee underneath. My friend got the three-color iced drink (the one with layered beans and jelly), and if you're into that texture and flavor profile, you'd probably enjoy it. The service stood out. The man helping us (possibly the owner) was very friendly, patient, and took the time to explain menu items, which I appreciated since some of the desserts aren't as familiar if you haven't had them before. The display case also looked well-stocked and clean, with everything neatly packaged and labeled, which made it easy to browse. Overall, it's a solid spot if you're in the area and want something a little different from the usual dessert shops. The only reason it's not a full 5 stars is because the concept feels slightly all over the place, but the quality, variety, and service definitely make it worth checking out.
