    Cookie Monster
    Isaac J.

    This is a new location that popped up here in chula vista recently. I have been to previous iceskimos like the one in kearny mesa and convoy. I have to say overall the boba, puffles and matcha is great as usual. I ordered the cookie monster puffle and i really enjoyed it ! They really do need to redo the interior of this location because it feels like a warehouse for some reason. Stripped paint, outdated chairs, and no charging stations. The service was exceptional and the employees were very attentive with our orders. But overall the desserts are good as usual !

    Ube shaved snow kids size with toppings
    Louna N.

    First time here. Was recommended to try this spot from a friend. Got kids size which was a decent amount of shaved snow with toppings. Jasmine milk tea (tried a friend's) had strong flavor and reminded me of the drink. Ube tasted like a light taro flavor. Toppings were mostly self service (they have you request for cookies dough, banana, cheesecake, boba)--enjoyed the almond jelly and mochi. You pay once they weigh your shaved ice. It ranged around $7-8 depending on how much you get. Ambiance was casual with r&b playing in the background.

    The perfect place to fulfill your sweet tooth. Iceskimo has amazing cold and warm desserts that will make you want to come back. I enjoyed the cookies and cream kids size ice. My husband got the ube soft serve with a waffle, mochi and crushed up Oreos. Yum! The employee was super helpful and friendly. She answered all questions we had about the menu. It's a cute space to come enjoy a sweet bite.

    This is such a great dessert spot ! Located in the shopping center next to HomeGoods and across from Otay Ranch mall. It is beautiful inside , clean with great seating options . I ordered the Tiger Soft Serve! It was delicious!!!!! I highly recommend !! The service was great and quick! Tip: I would ask for lots of napkins or an extra larger cup . When eating the soft serve it began to overflow and was a bit messy until I made it home.

    Ube Vanilla Oreo soft serve
    Trinh T.

    Nice little sweet treat dessert spot! The place is clean and aesthetic inside, making it a pleasant place to hang out. I especially love that they offer matcha and ube options. We got the ube and vanilla soft serve with brown sugar boba and it was good.

    The taiyaki filled fish were tasty, came with 5 different flavors: cheese, mochi, red bean, oreo, Nutella. With a purchase of 5....you get mini soft serve for $3.50 each. Service was okay. But the store was super hot inside, even their indoor plants were wilting. The design is cute but the furniture tables are cheaply made.

    Vietnamese iced coffee
    Valeria V.

    My husband and I tried this place for the first time today. We tried the Vietnamese coffee and the waffle with Nutella. The Vietnamese coffee was okay. It wasn't too strong and the flavor was okay. I recommend the waffle with Nutella. The waffle was good and crispy. We got the Nutella filling but it would have tasted good with or without the filling. Service was pretty good too. The worker was a really nice young man and very accommodating.

    TIGGER WAFFLE

    Really yummy spot! First time here, lots of options. I got the Tiger Waffle. It has bubble waffle, boba, oreos, vanilla soft serve ice cream with brown sugar syrup.

    Ube Mochi Creation
    Janelle D.

    The young lady working was sweet and fast! We ordered a pineapple smoothie, the ube mochi creation, and a mini vanilla soft serve with sprinkles. Unless you go in starving I suggest sharing the bubble waffle creations with someone. Its a lot of ice cream and the waffle is a decent size too! I was actually shocked by how much you got. Definitely worth $10.95! We'll be back to try the affogato

    Ube mochi waffle
    Jessica D.

    The ube mochi waffle goes crazy!!! I tried it for the first time - it satisfied my sweet treat craving instantly! The ube flavor is so smooth and creamy, the waffle is very crispy from being fresh off the iron, the Oreo bits were so crunchy and added a nice texture, and the mochi was the perfect chewy bite to bring it all together! I'd recommend splitting this with someone because it can get really sweet really quickly. The shop itself was cute and aesthetic and had lots of tables and seats. Good lighting too. The staff was friendly and welcoming and served my waffle with a smile. They also do punch cards so be sure to ask for one when you're there! I will be coming back to try their other waffle creations!

    Nutella Taiyaki and Coffee Affogato (w/ mochi & almond) - DELISH!
    Elizabeth H.

    I was delightfully surprised with my visit here today. I was craving an affogato, and it was on their menu! I wasn't a fan of the chocolate chips so the server suggested I sub with mochi topping instead. And it was by far one of the best affogatos I've had in a long time. The shaved snow was actually better than regular ice cream! Amazing!!! It's a must try! Will definitely be back.

    One of my kids fave spots when they want something cold but not ice cream. They love the shaved ice here and all the toppings. Pretty self explanatory, you pick your size and the flavor of shaved ice... then you pack on your toppings! They have shaved ice, boba drinks, soft serve with boba and taiyaki too! The taiyaki filled with fresh banana is my fave treat here! The staff is always nice here. The space is always clean and never too busy. All in all, a great place to go for a sweet treat!

    Jasam C.

    I had their Strawberry Matcha Affogato yesterday(see picture) and it was delicious. Yum! My kids love love love their desserts and always ask to come here. The staff are friendly. They keep the restaurant clean. They sell drinks, waffles, soft serve, and snow. You can build your own snow. Pick a size, flavor and add toppings. They have plenty of toppings to choose from. They even sell Taiyaki Japanese fish-shaped waffles. Oh, they offer stamp cards. You can earn a stamp for every $5 spent. Collect 10 stamps and get $5 off on your next visit. I'll be coming back here again to try other Affogato and waffle creation flavors.

    Do they also participate in the rewards program? I have a stamp card from the convoy location and not sure if its transferable.

    Yes stamps work at both locations!

    Are they open yet?

    La Concha Bakery is one of my all time favorite panaderia's. Located in the heart of Chula Vista,…read moreit is a family-owned bakery that specializes in traditional pan dulce (Mexican sweet bread), and custom cakes! Known for their fresh, daily-baked pastries, it features a self-service (tray-and-tongs) experience in a clean, welcoming environment! The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Always making great recommendations for their customers! Parking can be a bit tricky with very few spaces available. Pricing is somewhat higher than it used to be, but then again so is everything else (like gas, lol). They have a great selection of conchas, polvorones, fresh bolillos, empanadas (chicken, beef, jalapeño cream cheese), and custom cakes! Typically, I get the empanadas de piña 10/10! They're so freaking delicious! They feature a golden, buttery, and flaky crust that shatters perfectly when bitten. Inside, they're filled with a rich, jammy pineapple filling that balances bright, tropical sweetness with a sharp, fruity tartness! Highly recommended!

The moment you walk through the door, the smell of fresh baked pan hits you and it is everything. The selection of pan dulce and bolillos had me feeling like I was back in Mexico City. So many options, beautifully displayed. That part alone almost made the trip worth it. But the customer service... yeah, I'm not the only one who noticed. I asked the lady at the register in Spanish if there was any chocolate pan de muerto and she completely ignored me. Like, didn't even look up. Just called someone from the back in Spanish, which, mija, I understood every word. The girl who came to help me was a little better but not much. She told me the chocolate pan de muerto was sold out, which fine, I get it, it was a holiday. But that's literally all you had to say. No smile, no "sorry we're out," nothing. Just took my money and that was that. The panadería itself deserves five stars. The staff needs some work. I'll probably go back for the pan because it really is that good, but I'm keeping my expectations low on the service side.

When we arrived in the strip mall, there was no one at the counter but I guess they have cameras or there is a sensor when someone comes in because eventually someone came out to take our order. There is only one thing to get here (at least that they are famous for) and it is their Senorita bread. I love taking that first bite when given to us because they are warm, sweet and fresh. Maybe not the healthiest thing to eat, but it is quite the treat! My daughter proclaimed it was the "best bread ever"! We loved it so much, we came back the following day when we checked out of our hotel so that we could enjoy it on the way home and share it with friends. Apparently there are quite a few locations in Southern California (typically with a higher population of Filipinos) but I had no idea! Parking is easy and plentiful.
