    Upside down ahboong
    Alexis R.

    Not my first time here. I've been here a few times and idk how I haven't written a review yet. I love somi somi and their soft serve ! Went here with my friends a couple days ago and i got the upside down ahboong with ube soft serve, red bean filling, graham cracker topping with a macaron on top. So so good, a very sweet treat but so worth it. Always love coming here!

    This location is near Sac City College, in a cute shopping center. This place has amazing soft serve ice cream and Taiyaki. On my most recent visit, they had a kiosk to order from. I only saw one employee there and it was a weekend. A group came in after I ordered. Soft serve orders are quickly served while Taiyaki orders take longer, especially if they're busy. The service was surprisingly quick for being a weekend.

    Wanted Somi Somi and decided on Matcha with custard in a cup with fruity pebbles, sprinkles and a macaroon. Also ordered Ube in a cup with fruity pebbles, sprinkles and a macaroon. Ordering was super easy although much rather other with a person vs. on an iPad. Pickup was easy but did take a bit as only one person was working. The location was clean and luckily not very busy on a fairly warm night. We will be back.

    We arrived around 5:30pm on Saturday evening and there was only 1 person working behind the counter. She had to take order one at a time and made it for the customer; hence, there was a short line. We ordered upside down ahboong with cookies & cream and milk tea swirl and custard filling. We got our ice cream pretty quick. The milk tea flavor was weak (tasted more like milk) but the cookies & cream was good. The taiyaki was fresh so it still has crispy crust. The custard filling was yummy too! We wish that there were some tables to sit so we can enjoy the ice cream comfortably.

    Somisomi offers taiyaki style desserts featuring multiple options for creamy ice cream with a variety of toppings! They allow for an open concept that gives you the opportunity to watch the process of your sweet treat being made as well as a variety of other savory options! The only thing I wish this location had more of was seating options. However, they provide a clean and bright establishment! They provide excellent service and are very efficient in providing quick and quality service! Check them Out!

    First time trying Somisomi, it was a cool experience. I love that they sell these fish warm and come filled with various items. I got the banana pudding ice cream. It was very tasty. There is no seats at this location but places available to stand and eat. You can watch them make everything in front of you.

    Cute place! so good!! We got two upside down ahboong, the ube flavor was so good!! I'm glad we came, my bf got green tea and milk and i got ube and cookies n cream! We both did nutella fillings and it comes with your choice of toppings :) no seating :( Person working seemed nice, we opted to order at the kiosk. loved the taiyaki! Hope to come again!

    Just tried the savory cheese taiyaki and OMG -- it needs to come with a bowl of tomato soup. The custard-filled taiyaki was super good too, with that perfect chewy mochi texture. Definitely best eaten fresh and warm. I also tried the seasonal banana pudding and it was good, especially with the Nutella and Biscoff topping. Great spot for a quick grab and go dessert. Do expect a one man band for staffing. They do great at managing the flow but lines do fluctuate from moderate to none at all. Parking is easy peasy and plenty more food and shopping in the plaza.

    I came here on a late Sunday evening, and parking was pretty easy to find. Upon entering, the place was pretty clean. I placed my order at the kiosk and got the Ah Boong with Nutella filling, and Earl Gray and Cookies & Cream swirl, with sprinkles on top. It took a little while for our order to be ready since there was only one worker handling everything, they were doing their best. Definitely be patient if you visit when it's not busy. The dessert was delicious, and I'd definitely come back again!

    earl grey and cookies n crème
    Ester L.

    Wish I didn't get the ube because the flavor was not my style (more nutty than the taste of ube) but I will be definitely back for more flavors. I came back once for the cookies n crème and earl grey, cookies n crème was too subtle imo like just slightly chocolatey and no interesting texture, but the earl grey was amazing. The taiyaki with custard filling was super good, it was crunchy outside and fluffy inside and the flavor of the custard was great. The people at front and the people making the order were kind and efficient. The place was slightly full at 9 pm on a Saturday. Bathroom and the whole area was clean and cute.

    Matcha and earl gray
    Eric K.

    The matcha soft serve is delicious it could be a little more strong in the matcha flavor but the texture is amazing. I tried the earl gray and it's not bad either. The taiyaki custard is also chewy and tasteful

    The taiyaki cone was ok. We came here on a Sunday afternoon and there was no crowd. There are no tables, just a platform near the wall where you can stand and eat. There was one person at the counter and he was ok, not super friendly but not mean or anything either. We got the ube taiyaki with red bean paste. It was ok. This is our favorite combination and we've had some amazing taiyaki in San Francisco. We thought the ube was not as strong as we like. The taiyaki cone was thicker than we usually like. The red bean paste was more powdery than a paste. Again, it wasn't bad, but it wasn't everything that we've come to associate with a taiyaki soft serve cone.

    What dan I say? We popped on after a practice as a treat for my boys and their friend and loved it. The soft serve is on point. The place is clean and sleek. The staff super helpful and fun. For a Wednesday night it started getting busy by the time we left it was packed. Looking for great soft serve come here!

Rick's was the only place open late that had actual desserts. I mainly ate their cakes. They looked amazing. But I really did not enjoy them. Too dry. Just not good, compared to other bakeries in town. Over the years, Rick's remained a Sacramento staple, and when they opened up their new location in Midtown, the dessert community welcomed them back and embraced their sweet offerings, bigger space, and late night hours. I never went til just a couple weeks ago. Around 9pm on a Friday night I was craving banana cream pie and the husband wanted cherry pie. On Yelp search, Rick's came up as the top choice that was open. So we went and stood in the long line. The place was crowded and loud. Lively and busy vibe. Line moved at a good pace and the staff helping were nice but hurried. So we took our lil pies to go. We both liked our chosen pies. Now I know what to order if I go back to Rick's. Pies over cakes. Every time.

It's a small dessert ice cream parlor who is known for their ice cream donut which you can customize. We visited on a Saturday afternoon and it wasn't busy. The guy behind the counter was very helpful and explained everything about their menu and what they are known for. They do have a pretty limited ice cream flavor but given they are a small ice cream parlor I guess this is understandable. Anyways, me and my cousin got the salted caramel and cookies and cream donut and vanilla. So they actually put the ice cream in the donut then they bake it and then put powder sugar on top of it. You have an option between regular donut and glazed and we chose the regular since we didn't want it to be sweet. It's a good take on dessert but can be a little messy because of all the powdered sugar. The ice cream is good but nothing out of the ordinary. It was a good stop for a quick dessert.
