    Sooo good Their pistachio ice scream is perfect Service was good too!! Always a good time at the beach

    Thinnest chocolate malt ever.
    Shalee O.

    Do not order a shake! We ordered 3 chocolate malts and basically got 3 chocolate milks. These are the thinnest shakes ever. And we had to pay $2 extra dollars a piece for malt that you can't even taste. Beyond disappointing for way over priced "shakes". Oh, and no whipped cream either.

    I ate here for the first time a few days ago. This is a cool little spot right directly in front of the beach. The prices are slightly higher than I expected but the food is really good. The workers are friendly and prepared the food and drinks really fast. It's kind of the perfect location to have a little snack shack like this. There are a couple of benches in the front where you can sit and face the beach which is convenient. If you want to take a break from walking and get a bite to eat this is the place to go.

    It clearly says on the sign Pizza! If you only want to sell ice cream then change your sign!

    I waited in a long line for 30 minutes only to be told they weren't serving pizza today! Why isn't there a sign anywhere that lets your customers know that you aren't selling something that is on your menu! Horrible service!

    While walking the boardwalk here about 2 weeks ago, the family decided we needed a break and a snack. Most of the places were either closed or had no outdoor seating available, so we stopped here. I've seen reviews about the overpriced ice cream (it's beach real estate next to tiny overpriced apartments, you can't expect cheap), and "microwaved" food. I can't speak to either of those since it was too cold for ice cream and we only tried the pizza. When I placed the order for the pizza, the woman working there told me "it will take about 20 minutes because I have to make it by hand" After walking around a bit more, we made our way back and the pizza was ready in just under 20 minutes. I'm not sure what I expected, but this was surprisingly delicious. The crust was perfection if you like thin crust with a little char that's both chewy and crispy (and frankly, who doesn't?). We got the 12 inch and the price was very reasonable. My only regret is that we didn't order 2 pizzas. Service was quick and friendly, and you cannot beat the location for people watching with the ocean literally right in front of you. When the weather is warmer, I will be back for ice cream too.

    Cool little ice cream shop with great service! Yes, you pay more for anything right in front of the ocean. Totally worth it. This place has a hippy 70s vibe that I really like. Ice cream and hot dog were very good.

    I adore the acai bowl! It's a generously-sized, nutritious escape featuring berries, banana slices, honey, and oatmeal cereal.

    Great place to grab a chill, sit on the wall and take it all in. Mango shaved ice with vanilla ice cream hit the spot.

    This is my third time here, and I love it! I'm not sure how my last two 5 star reviews got deleted…read morebut I came here a year ago, one month ago and then again today. The staff is always so nice, helpful and talented! I've had the strawberry and chocolate kakigori and I loved both! Perfect for a summer day or any day! So yummy! :)

    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!

You won't regret it. Try their spam musubi as snack while you wait for your dessert to be created. Excellent, quick service from behind the counter. Lots of free parking in the lot just a couple steps North of this establishment. A must have when visiting Carlsbad Village!

    As close as you can get to the islands and stay in SD. First off I have to say after many trips to…read moreHawaii over the years and a regular of Scandi's in Kona nothing beats shaved ice on the islands. However when that craving hits Aloha ice does not disappoint in meeting that shaved ice fix. While most places are advertising "Hawaiian shaved ice" and you end up with a sad snow cone this place is using the legit ice shavers. And if you think shaved ice is the same as a snow cone you're better off saving your money and just go lick a block of ice. Anyway this place uses the proper methods has authentic flavors and does everything right. Short walk from the beach in Carlsbad village it is a perfect treat on a hot summer day. Parking in that area can be tough in the summer so not sure it's worth the effort if thats your only destination. Couple of times I have been it was pretty busy and the staff has been friendly, but might benefit from a 3rd employee taking orders. Usually is 2 people working, taking turns taking orders then going to make it while the 2nd person helps the next person in line. This is fine but if it busy this can cause the line to back up a bit. Overall great shaved ice and fills that desire for the islands without the 5hr flight but ultimately that is the biggest problem with it, you're enjoying it on the beach in San Diego instead of the beach in Hawaii

Parking was a little difficult to find at first, especially during the lunch rush, but they do offer parking in the structure and can validate it at the restaurant, which helps lower the cost and was definitely a nice bonus. We were in the mood for something refreshing and not too heavy, and this place was perfect for that. We ordered the Aloha Bowl, Coconut Cream Fruit Bowl, Aloha Smoothie, La Jolla Club, and Coffee Crunch. I have to say, everything we tried was delicious! My personal favorite was the Coconut Cream Fruit Bowl. The fruit tasted incredibly fresh, and you could tell everything was prepared with care. The portions were great, the food was light yet satisfying, and the customer service was friendly throughout our visit. Even though parking can be a challenge on the weekends, I would definitely come back again for the fresh food and great experience.

Delicious and fresh food, delectable drinks and treats, fantastic vibes and superb service. The service specifically is amazing - they're super attentive and pay attention to what taste or meal generally you're trying to accomplish. I ordered the Power Wrap (my favorite item on the menu - highly recommend) and asked for no turkey. The gentleman behind the counter knew exactly what I was trying to accomplish and offered a solution. That really impressed me and I truly appreciated it. It's a great spot to chill and work too [though not if you're taking calls - they have (good) music on and the other patrons can be loud]. Definitely worth visiting in the PB area!
