On a hot day after some mini golf, all you really want is a bowl of shaved ice! The folks here are…read morereally super nice, attentive and they definitely make an awesome, refreshing bowl of shaved ice when it's hot out. On another visit, we also did the top golf game up front and they come by and bring your food order so you can eat and play top golf games. Pretty good prices and standard burgers and fries on the menu. -----TL;DR----- Pros: price range is quite reasonable, friendly staff, refreshing shaved ice when it's hot out! Cons: if they are busy it can take a minute to get your order (I am guessing there's one chef and one server), but they are working hard back there, for sure Bottom Line: order the shaved ice! Or have a snack when you're playing the top golf games.

Good food. Good price. I like the chicken fingers and fries. Beer available and catering.read more

Great service Accommodating…read moreDelicious and unique flavors Not overly sweet Many options and can choose lots of different tastes Love how they have variety and that the owner is there and she is always offering samples! Even first day she offered samples for long wait times when we were there an hour!!! Love the macadamia box cream, the shaved ice calamari, and sea salt caramel ice cream yummmmmmm! It's always clean and nice there and people are always friendly that work there when I have lots of questions. Went recently and thank god no line lol. Me and my kids had some treats (:

Just like Hawaii super fluffy and soft shaved ice that came with the flavors that were a variety of…read moretropical and sweet. Overall, it is a 4.5 and I would say worth the trip if you were craving shaved ice or shaved snow this is really a spot to go to in San Diego. They only have about four locations on the West Coast and I would say the price is fair. Again the texture is the reason to go and I would say the store is clean and nicely decorated, but the floor is very sticky. One tip that I would give is that you bring your own water bottle because the cups they give are small.

This is hands down my favorite dessert spot in SD. I am not the biggest shaved ice person so when I…read moresaw they also had parfaits. There are a few tables inside and they have a kiosk for you to order from. So far, I've gotten: 1. Choco Strawberry banana parfait ($10.00) - without fail, I get this everytime. There are corn flakes, strawberries, banana, ice cream, little cookies, etc. It tastes not too sweet and is super cute. They make a little bear on top. 2. Mochi Cloud cone ($7.00) - this one has a sheet of mochi on it called gyuhi. You get to choose two scoops of ice cream and fruit in the middle. It's good value for what you get but definitely best split among another person. The service here is really friendly and they make the orders pretty quick. I love how they have monthly specials and make all their menu items into little works of art. It's a great place to take kids to as well since they make little shapes with the desserts. There is some parking, but as others have said, Koli Bar is shared with Yakyudori. I'll definitely be back here!

Brought my family here after having a wonderful Yelp Elite experience and I'm happy to say the…read moredesserts and service is consistent and did not disappoint! We ordered the peach, matcha and coffee jello coffee and each item was solid! Glad we were able to get parking and a table because they were quite busy on a Sunday afternoon! And contrary to the other reviews, we actually didn't have to wait too long for our desserts to be served, under 10 minutes probably, thankfully! Don't let that deter you guys from trying them out, they're a solid choice for a post dinner date dessert or on a hot summer day!

There's such a variety of shave ice flavors and old school Thrifty ice cream. The man working the counter is quick and kind as he breaks down block after block of ice.

The flavor was so good and it really cooled me off. I decided to go to the actual storefront to purchase another cup during the week I went first thing on the morning and the friendly employee greeted me and helped me choose some flavors. The store was colorful and casual. I decided to go with Strawberry Lemonade and Watermelon. It was the perfect combination. They offer a good variety of flavors. Something for everyone. So...stop in and cool off with a sweet and enjoyable cup of ice. You'll be glad you did, especially when the temps are as hot as they've been this week.
