Came for the soft opening. Aesthetic of the shop and the desserts was so cute! I got the strawberry blush and my friends the ninja. The sesame ice cream on the ninja was really strong, but it was yummy. I think the milk ice cream balances it out nicely if you mix the two! The strawberry is yummy with the dehydrated strawberries and clear boba toppings. Best little secret was the spoons! They are shaped like hearts! Wanted to try the matcha, but its not available yet until the grand opening. read more

This is a new ice cream shop we noticed while dining at this plaza today, so we decided to stop by. It's basically fancy soft-serve. I don't know what flavors they have since this is not very clear from the menu (I just re-looked at the menu we saw and yea, it's not clear at all). The menu starts off with like 6-8 pre-made concoctions, so we just picked the 1st 2. Ninja and S'mores. We had 2 kids with us, so this was mostly for them but of course I tried them both. 1) Ninja - The menu describes this as : Oreo, Pocky, Pop Candy. -- What you get: Really really strong black sesame flavored soft-serve, topped with 1 oreo, 1 pocky stick, and sprinkled with cherry poprocks. Honestly, I don't agree with this flavor combination at all and the black sesame was entirely too strong. If you want the all black, do like a black charcoal vanilla or something. Did not expect such a strong black sesame, and my son ended up just tossing most of the ice cream out to eat the cone. Sigh.. 2) S'mores - The menu describes this as : Toasted Marshmellow, Popcorn. -- What you get: A milk-flavored soft-serve with a toasted marshemellow on a stick sticking out, with the edge surrounded by popcorn. Exactly as you'd expect from the picture. This was a lot more kid friendly, but a bit underwhelming. Maybe some of the other menu items are better, but these were literally the 1st 2 on there. read more

Such a cute and insta worthy dessert shop in convoy! It's well decorated and designed with cute accessories, wall art, decor- perfect for plenty of cute photo ops. They offer soft serve ice cream and custom toppings as well as boba drinks and cotton candy. We tried the strawberry soft serve that comes in a cup with fresh strawberries, cornflakes, strawberry syrup and crystal boba. There was a crunchy strawberry topping on top that was lovely as well as two strawberry pocky sticks. The soft serve was lovely and had a nice creamy milk flavor. The consistency was spot on and so was the sweetness level. I loved the textural crunch as well as slightly saltiness from the cornflakes which accentuates the dessert. The crystal boba also had a nice chewiness to it. I will definitely be back to try their other desserts. They have paid parking in their busy lot, but there's so many good eats in this complex that this is the perfect dessert spot to come to afterwards! read more

Definitely one of my new favorite places! It was unique and delicious. We got the Dream Cloud and Dubai chocolate ice cream. I thought the Dubai was better, but if it's your first time you should try the Dream Cloud with milk ice cream. It would be something my kids would enjoy with the cotton candy and fruity pebbles. Next time I'd want to try the Dalgona flavor. The milk ice cream was so creamy. The Dubai chocolate was so so good. I need to come back! read more

Randomly found this place after getting dinner at a nearby restaurant and was so glad I did! Also made me realize that there should be more soft serve places. We got a Pineapple Soft Serve and Biscoff Ice Cream and both were so good! The kiosk didn't have the Pinapple flavor for some reason, and so we ordered with the staff. The serving size is massive even for the smallest size and so I would probably share next time but def no regrets because both flavors were perfect. We ordered probably 30ish minutes before closing and it was still pretty packed with people. This is not a comment on the staff/store, but I feel like people are more prone to spilling due to how much ice cream they get and so the tables and ground were sticky and a bit messy. People weren't really cleaning after themselves too when they spilled. The parking situation is terrible since the whole plaza is packed with great restaurants and shops but if you are able to get to Nobibi, I highly recommend it! read more

Came for the soft opening and tried the House Special Coffee at this shop, and wow, I can't believe I waited this long! From the moment I took my first sip, I was hooked. The coffee flavor is bold and rich, but not too overpowering--it's perfectly balanced with just the right amount of sweetness. I was expecting just a regular coffee, but this was on a whole other level! The creamy, smooth texture totally caught me by surprise. It's like sipping a coffee-flavored cloud. Absolute perfection! I'm also a sucker for presentation, and they nailed it with a little sprinkle of cocoa powder that made it look as good as it tastes. read more

While ordering food next door, Nobib!'s opening sign caught me eye when I was looking for a nice boba. Upon walking in close to opening time, the ambience was very clean, well decorated, and spacious. The kiosk for self-order is easy to use and displays a lot of elevated ice cream sundae offerings. I went for a fruit tea with a mochi boba. There was a bit of a wait as I saw a lot of sundae orders being served but the staff were very polite and I took advantage of the comfy couch. I hadn't realized I came at opening so perhaps they will be faster service over time. When I got my drink I was very pleasantly surprised by the mochi boba texture- it's soft, not very chewy, and almost jelly like. It's very good and the fruit tea was fresh tasting as well. Overall, I'd come back to try it again, with more tea flavors and also see how the ice cream is. Recommend if you are looking to stop by a refreshing and cute cafe vibe with friends. read more

I saw that they recently opened and decided to give it a try. The store is filled with ice cream decor. They have a bunch of flavors of ice creams and drinks, as well as a cotton candy machine for some of their cloud desserts - we didn't get those, but they looked so cool! The servers were very friendly and helpful with and questions we had. The biscoff ice cream was nothing spectacular, just a really good dessert - what more can you ask for. I do feel like you come here more for the vibe and pictures, while the desserts are a nice bonus. I can definitely see myself coming back here for a dessert on a date or something like that. read more

I love the decoration; it's so cute and inviting. The ice cream was really creamy and delicious--definitely a highlight of my visit. However, I have to give the mochi jelly milk tea a 2/5. While the mochi jelly had a nice texture and the right amount of sweetness, the milk tea itself was disappointing. It tasted watered down, lacking both tea flavor and creaminess. I usually don't give negative reviews on food or drinks because taste is subjective, but this one fell short for me. read more

When you walk in the door, Nobibi has an interesting color palette and selection of ice cream treats, that aren't that good. The soft serrve vanilla ice cream can be found any where and the toppings, while cute, are anything but. I got the Strawberry Blush which had sweetened strawberrys that didn't need the extra touch and the, I don't know what it is, strawberry jam???, was too sweet and not jam but some unfortunate concotion. My friend got the Dalgona Ice Cream, and again it looks good but the flavor is totally off. The Dalgona (coffee) flavor was off putting and had a bad lingering aftertaste.

If you've been to convoy, you know the parking situation is going to be an issue most of the time. All the spots in the area are always packed, and the parking lots just can't accommodate. If you circle enough, you'll eventually find a spot. ANYWAY, this ice cream spot is a nice addition to the area. I don't know much about this style of ice cream, but I've been a ice cream kick lately... And I have nothing bad to say about this place. It's very unique and light and not tooth ache sweet. I loved it for that reason. It hit the sweet spot I needed, and I didn't feel horrible after. The ice cream itself was very delicious. We opted for the ninja I believe, which had sesame ice cream, and it came with an Oreo and pocky stick. Will be back to experiment withbother flavors! read more

Been meaning to review this place and had totally forgotten! Anyways! This place has been one of my top pick for drinks lately besides Yun Tea but it's not too difficult to decide either when they're both just a couple of blocks away from each other if you ever decide you want something different. I think what's special about Nobibi is its cute chic interior and the fact that they serve COTTON CANDY with your sweets. With selections of many other cool stuff like Dubai chocolate ice cream and charcoal ice cream this place is definitely a must try for the first time and see if you'd wanna continue going here. Personally I would haha, if I'm not too poor by the end of the week. Definitely a nice hangout and palate cleanser after eating from Tasty Noodles or Formoosa or any other restaurants and eateries nearby. This place would be my recommend date spots for those who wanna impress and rizz up the person you're bringing out. read more

The portion size was pretty good, and actually i couldn't finish the whole thing, even though i got a small.

At this point, a second person behind the counter asked the man to leave. I'm ok with people asking for a handout, but it is totally not cool to repeatedly ask inside an ice cream shop and asking a minor after his parents already said no. That interaction really put a damper on things, but we eventually ordered a few scoops and a few cookies. Thought the cookies were spot on again (warm from the oven). The ice cream temperature wasn't quite right - a bit on the melted/soft side. Not quite what we were hoping for this time around.

Twenty ice cream flavors and three varieties of water ice were offered on the menu. The products could be served in a waffle cone, as a waffle sundae or malt, or in pints. Taste samples were available upon request which I did for a couple of flavors. Because water ice is a Philadelphia-style Italian ice not commonly found in SD, I decided to order two types in The Midway which was a mid-size cup. Cherry and mango were my picks. Both were as refreshing as advertised, but I was dismayed by the $12 price for the serving. There should be a cost differentiation between water ice and the gourmet ice cream blends. The former certainly is not as expensive to make because it has fewer ingredients in each batch. The worker (owner?) seemed distracted with his phone. Most places like this greet you warmly upon entering and willingly explain or assist with the selections. I didn't receive such a reception as there was awkward silence until I asked for samples and placed an order.

I've worked in Little Italy in the past but have never tried Caffe Italia. I got their Italian sandwich, with the default bread being focaccia. Inside there were prosciutto, salami, ham, provolone, tomato, and house made balsamic vinaigrette. It had a good balance of deli meats, and the focaccia bread was thick to hold it all together. I thought it was tasty as well as their coffee, however my coffee wasn't filled up all the way. It is strong and their roast is bold! I liked it a lot, although a lunch meal can get costly so it would just be from time to time if I were to revisit. Not only that, but they also have a small selection of gelatos which look pretty authentic like Spumoni! Other desserts I saw were mousse, tiramisu, cannoli, cheesecake, carrot cake, and rugelach. The cafe is small and the service may take a bit if you are waiting for the food, but overall, I enjoyed my coffee and sandwich.

My favorite thing here is the lotus biscoff cheesecake $12. Their biscoff matcha is just okay. Note, they charge $7 for their matcha and then charge additional for biscoff, milk preference and foam. The orange blossom latte is good but very sweet. Their drinks run on the sweet side. Be sure to ask for half sweet if needed. I saw so many people ask for their drinks to be remade because it was too sweet and it really impacted the workers. I have tried some other desserts but just wasn't a fan.

I also loved the chili oil and felt it added such a nice kick. The passion fruit sauce was interesting and creative, but a bit too strong for my taste and overpowered the dish a little. I actually think a simple maple syrup would've worked better here. The waffle itself was decent, though I wish it had been crispier and had a bit more flavor on its own. Curry Hamburger The egg was light and nicely cooked. The curry leaned pretty salty, but it was smooth and flavorful.

Today, we decided to visit a dessert place that we have been wanting to try. They are mostly known for their ice cream and handcrafted frozen desserts. They have several locations in California and in different countries. This is a family run business. We are both glad we decided to stop by. The ice cream is delicious, velvety, creamy, and flavorful. The staff member who helped us was great. He was helpful and gave us a description of some of the menu items. He was also very outgoing. The ice cream shop itself was wonderful. It is beautifully decorated and spacious with plenty of seating. It is also very colorful and it's a very relaxing place. We ordered three items. The desserts were all wonderful and definitely very satisfying. They all had a great flavor, especially the Ube Drink, which was one of the best Ube Drinks I've had. We will definitely return to try other items and will definitely recommend them to our family and friends. What we ordered 1. Dalgona Ice Cream 2. Red Bean & Taro Ice Cream 3. Ube Cloud read more

I recently visited this cozy little spot in town, and I must say, it's now one of my favorite places for soft-serve! The interior is absolutely adorable, with a warm and inviting atmosphere that makes you want to stay and savor every bite. I tried the red bean and taro ice cream, and it was heavenly delicious! The flavors were perfectly balanced, with the creamy richness of taro complementing the subtle sweetness of red bean. It's a unique combination that works so well together. The staff were super friendly and welcoming, adding to the overall pleasant experience. Whether you're looking for a cute place to hang out with friends or just craving some amazing soft-serve, this is the spot to go. I'll definitely be coming back for more! read more

We visited this place after dining at the Tasty Noddle house which is in the same plaza Nobibi is. They have very extensive menu of ice cream and drinks which could feel overwhelming at first. It turned out simple than we thought you can basically choose any ice cream flavors available with ice cream styles, or you can order your own personalized ice cream. Oh man the portion is HUGE than we thought, we got the Dole Twist with strawberry sprinkle and Milk Strawberry Blush which are great and delicious. The female employee told us that they are doing flavor rotation which is worth to come back to check out. I would love to come back to try their Taro and Matcha next time . Such a pleasant experience at Nobibi. read more

Nobibi is a fantastic new addition to the Convoy district, offering a wide variety of delicious ice creams and drinks. During our visit, we tried two of their standout creations. The Flora with yogurt ice cream was refreshingly tart, though still quite enjoyable. We also tried the Ninja ice cream, made with activated charcoal and popping candy. While we weren't huge fans of the flavor, the popping candy added a fun and unexpected twist to the already visually striking cone. The service was also great--friendly and lighthearted. The staff even joked around with us as we tried to pronounce my name, adding to the enjoyable experience. Overall, we had a great time and would definitely return! read more

I had the most amazing experience at Nobibi Convoy! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a warm, inviting atmosphere and friendly staff who were eager to help. The selection of ice cream was absolutely out of this world - so many unique and delicious flavors to choose from, and each one is made with the highest quality ingredients. I tried the Oreo Frosty and D'or - both were creamy, rich, and perfectly balanced, not too sweet but still satisfy my sweet tooth. The shop was clean, cozy, and had a great vibe. It's the perfect place to treat yourself to something sweet or meet up with friends. I'll definitely be coming back for more - I can't recommend it enough! read more

Nobibi is such a super cute ice cream shop! Every inch of this place is Instagram-worthy, from the decor to the presentation of the treats. My kids absolutely loved it here, and it's easy to see why--it's a fun and magical experience for them (and for me too!). The ice cream is not only adorable but also delicious.

If you're looking for a unique and charming dessert spot, Nobibi is a must-visit! read more

I wandered into Nobibi on a whim while my friends were grabbing tacos next door--I was in the mood for something sweet. Unfortunately, the experience didn't live up to expectations. The staff wasn't particularly friendly or welcoming, and all orders were placed through a kiosk, which felt impersonal. I ordered a milk ice cream cone, hoping for a rich, creamy milk flavor, but it tasted more like artificial vanilla--overly sweet and not very enjoyable. Overall, not a place I'd return to or recommend, especially with so many better dessert spots around. read more
