    Flavors
    Ann T.

    What an amazing Bay Area franchise! I got a stamp card and I'll definitely be visiting again the next time I visit NorCal! We got ice cream as a dessert after getting some AYCE BBQ and this was the perfect place to get something that's sweet but not too sweet. Decent amount of parking and I love the photo op statue and the cute ice cream cone seats they have outside too. Love the little bit of personality there. There's seating and tables inside and if you want to try a flavor, they're more than happy to let you sample them. Customer service is friendly and they STACK the scoops of ice cream. Got a triple scoop and we had to get lids and take it to go since it was so much ice cream. More than enough to share and take home as leftovers. Our friend got a croffle and loved it. They also have boba drinks, ice cream cakes, and ice cream pints too. Make sure to call in advance just in case. For our triple scoop, we got the: 1) Lychee Rose: -Real lychee with rose water flavor. -Sweet lychee flavor with an ending note of rose water. Very elegant and complex flavor and definitely something I would expect from a fancy artisanal ice cream place. Good stuff and definitely recommend if you're a rose flavor fan. Not artificial or overbearing like other rose flavored items. 2) Peach Oolong: -Subtle taste of oolong tea with the sweetness of white peaches. -It's a very Asian inspired flavor and reminds me of those yummy peach oolong boxed teas that you can get from the Asian market. -This was my favorite of the 3 and I devoured this one first (after taking it back as leftovers). Definitely will get this again. 3) Pina Colada: -Creamy coconut with real pineapple chunks inside. -Not tart whatsoever, you get a fresh burst of pineapple taste from the chunks, but it's largely a coconut flavor ice cream with the subtle taste of pineapple. Refreshing, tropical summer flavor. All of their ice cream is super smooth, creamy, with a velvety texture. Even putting in the freezer and enjoying 1-2 days after, still great quality. They sold out of their super cute mascot keychains, but hopefully the next visit I can get one!

    This place us bomb. Give u ALOT of ice cream in a scoop. I enjoyed my ube and cookie monster. I would def try the tea flavored one if it were day time bc the caffeine. All the flavors sound so yummy and the taste profile matches for asians so so happy! This place is far from me but i hope i get to visit again if in area.

    They offer unique and Asian inspired ice cream flavors, like Osmanthus Oolong (very delicious). Great portion sizes too!

    Decided to stop by for some ice cream since I've had this spot bookmarked for a while. There were only a few customers inside on a Sunday around 5pm. We were able to try a few flavors before ordering. My favorite was the Cookie Monster since it has Oreos and cookie dough. We also got a scoop of their Black Sesame and it wasn't as creamy as I'd thought it would be. I also appreciated the huge scoops that we were given. Overall, a decent ice cream spot to check out if you're in the area. It's nice that they have unique flavors such as lychee, oolong, earl grey tea. I'm glad we were able to stop by and check this off my list.

    Ube milk tea float

    Was trying to come here before watching the Fourth of July fireworks yesterday but little did we know how crazy Calaveras was during this time. Left the area and went to watch fireworks at Great America. Called to check how busy they were post fireworks, and was told the line was out the door. Came back this evening and perfect for us, no line! They were super nice, let us sample a bunch of different flavors before deciding on the Ube milk tea float, Chocolate Oreo float, Mochi matcha croffle with matcha ice cream, and toasted coconut croffle with ube ice cream. Sooo delicious! The croffle is a cross between a croissant and a waffle. Wished their loyalty card was for each item purchased and not for each visit, which would make more sense, IMO, but still grateful that they have a loyalty program. We'll be returning, for sure!

    If you want your bang for your buck, come here. The scoops are so massive and reasonably priced for the unique flavors. I ordered fruity pebbles and it was pretty accurate, I just didn't care for the soggy/firm cereal pieces. Service is chill and the inside is cute. Plenty of seating options. Pet friendly patio, no non-dairy options.

    Been here a few times, good amount of parking outside and seating inside. You get to sample some flavors before deciding I love the ice cream flavor options they have, very interesting! If you're not feeling just ice cream, they have croffles and drinks as well! A flavor I don't see as often is tofu and it was surprisingly delicious! I'm not sure when they will have it again, but I sure hope it will be available the next time I go! It reminds me of something from my childhood. Overall: Nice dessert option!

    Triple scoop Thai tea, ube, jasmine
    Quoc H.

    Parking: large parking lot with a bunch of spots Interior: well lit, clean, and a few tables for small groups or combine for medium size groups. Maybe only around 10ppl can be seated. Wait Time: Went after dinner on a weekend and there was no wait, but multiple groups came after us and it was packed. Service was amazing! Staff helped with samples and got our orders ready quick. Items Order: Triple scoop $8.50 - BRUH LOOK AT IT! That's 1.5pints. Each scoop is literally a large size cup which we had to get and divide up to take home. There are lids too but smoove really be serving the best scoops! 9.5/10 Ube - Ube flavor was very good. Strong and authentic flavor. Super smooth and creamy. Not sure why but Afters ube ice cream still is the best but this is a close second. It might be just missing a contrasting texture to change up the taste profile but still bomb ice cream. 10/10 Thai tea - FIRE! Flavor was so goood! Strong tea flavor, rich, creamy, smooth, and just sweet enough. 7.5/10 Jasmine - might be a tough rating because the ice cream is also good but I think after eating ube and Thai tea, this one couldn't compare. Jasmine flavor is on the lighter side

    Triple Scoop
    Jed O.

    One of the best ice cream shops I have been to! The flavors all taste very distinct, fresh, and not-too-sweet. On top of this, the serving is MASSIVE. Huge props to the ice cream staff that provided some of the best service I have experienced. The price is also very reasonable, if not cheap. An absolute must try if you are in the Milpitas area! 5/5 - Lychee Oolong/ Ube/ Cookies and Cream - Can't go wrong with any of these flavors. We got a triple scoop and regretted it because of how much the serving was. Nevertheless, I never got tired of eating it until I was full, because the flavor was so good. Of course, there's sugar, but it is not overwhelming! The lychee tasted floral and fruity, the ube tasted much more like the purple yam than sugary, and the cookies and cream was light.

    Leti N.

    Food: my absolute favorite is the Ube flavor ice cream! Service: always so nice!! Even when they are packed with customers the guys helping out are so kind!! Atmosphere: varies but overall it a chill very aesthetic place. If you spend over a certain amount, you get a free keychain!!!! So cute!

    Joyce T.

    Ice cream with lot of variety but the flavors aren't too good. I had the mango and earl grey tea ice cream, the flavors were not intense enough. Lychee white peach fruit tea was great, refreshing with some real fruits like blueberries, lychee and orange. They have weekday specials, croffle and drinks $12, seems like a good deal. Will be back soon to try their croffle

    Great place to come for ice cream, smoothies, & boba. Not your traditional flavors; which makes it even more delicious and appealing. A must try! Portion size is big. Employees are super friendly. Cash not accepted

    Kimberly L.

    We found this ice cream spot through Yelp and decided to check it out. Right before you walk in, there's a big display showing an ice cream float, which immediately caught our attention. The people working there were very kind and patient. We asked to try several different flavors, and they happily offered samples. Honestly, everything we tried was pretty good, which made it hard to choose. We ended up ordering two regular scoops and one scoop split into two minis. The regular scoops here are huge, so this was perfect for sharing. For the two regular scoops, we got ube and mango. For the split minis, we chose matcha and jasmine milk tea. All the flavors were so good and incredibly creamy. The ube was rich, the mango was refreshing, and both the matcha and jasmine milk tea had great flavor without being too sweet. Definitely a place we'll be back to!

    Are there vegan options?

    From the looks of it, from their website, besides the milkshakes, Thai Tea and chocolate flavors, the ice cream flavors are dairy free. You can check out their FAQ on… 

    Are there non dairy options?

    All their ice cream contains milk.

    Do they have eggless or vegan options?

    All their ice cream is eggless but contains milk.

That warm & cold combo is a total game changer! Don't believe me??? Try it!!! We went with a big group and tried a bit of everything: My Order: Cookies & Crème soft serve with Fruity Pebbles. My Sister: Matcha & Milk soft serve with Cocoa Pebbles. My Girl: Matcha & Milk combo with Custard filling and Graham Cracker sprinkles. We also grabbed a 5-pack of Taiyaki to try all the flavors. The Cookies & Crème and Custard were solid classics, and the Red Bean and Cheddar are must-tries if you want something different. But the standout was the Dubai Chocolate yummmmmy!!! seasonal flavor catch it while you can! Huge thanks to the crew for being patient with our order as some of us couldn't decide what they wanted as their toppings lol. This spot is a 10/10 for dessert in San Jose!

There is a park across the street so it would be a great option to eat there as well. There's three kiosk to order from which makes things more efficient when it's busy. I've been living Somisomi over the years and I love the taiyaki here the most. It's so crispy on the outside and super soft on the inside. I haven't been here in a while and saw that they have a dubai chocolate taiyaki flavor so I had to try it!! My absolute favorite is the nutella one you can't go wrong with it. I got 2 taiyaki, 1 nutella and 1 dubai chocolate to try. I wish that there was more nutella filling inside there wasn't that much this time :/ The dubai chocolate one was so disappointing. It was hard to eat and it was a lot to chew. The inside was a bit dry, I think there could be more of the pistachio creme inside. Wouldn't get the dubai chocolate taiyaki again since the other flavors are so much better.

When they get it right, the cauldron puffle is easily a 5 star dessert. Unfortunately, we've also had visits where it was so overly sweet that we could barely finish half of it. Our go to flavor is cauldron, and to play it safe at this point, my husband and I always share a single puffle. Even then, it comes out to almost $17, which feels pretty steep. We first tried Cauldron about five years ago, and I honestly don't remember it being this expensive. That said, the shop itself is really neat. If you or someone in your group orders the original nitrogen ice cream, the entire place fills with fog, making for a fun and unique experience--especially for the kiddos!! My only other complaint is the customer service. I always make it a point to smile and greet employees, but the lady taking my order never smiled once and seemed like she didn't want to be there. It's a small thing, but for such a cool dessert place, a friendlier atmosphere would make a big difference.
