sweet corn and black sesame brittle...
Kartika H.

just a nice place for ice cream dessert. have seats inside and outside store. they allow you to taste before deciding which one you like. the sesame brittle is my favorite, not too sweet. just sweet when you bite the brittle. the sweet corn is great combination if you want to grab two flavors. three stars for now...

Butter scotch and black sesame
Maneet G.

Amazing! Delicious! Decadent! My husband and I stopped by Sugar Mama for some ice cream cravings! We got the famed black sesame along with the butterscotch. The black sesame was lovely- strong nutty notes with little pieces of brittle. The butterscotch was nostalgic and tasted like a wethers. It was so tasty and reminiscent of my childhood. The service is excellent; the owner is so friendly and kind. She lets you try any flavors as well! We will be coming back next weekend for ice cream again!

mango pineapple coconut sorbet
Grace X.

My company had an ice cream catering cart from here for a Mother's day event. They only had one vegan option, which was a mango coconut pineapple sorbet. The flavor was nice although the texture was too icy in my opinion and it could have been sweeter I think. I would not get it again next time. Would love to see actual vegan ice cream instead of just sorbet in the future. I also have a feeling the quality of the ice cream at the cart is not as good as at the physical location.

Double (honey lavender blueberry, coconut pandan)
Laura L.

This is a very small ice cream shop. They sell pints of ice cream too! I tried a sample of the black sesame and it was very good but they ran out of scoops unfortunately. I think black sesame was the best without being gritty or bitter. Coconut pandan was also very good and you could taste the bits of coconut in it. Honey lavender blueberry had almost a tart flavor which paired nicely with the blueberry and floral flavors.

Double scoop with black sesame crunch and saffron rose water pistachio
Anzhi C.

A little cute store with friendly staff. All kinds of interesting flavors including durian, jackfruit, lychee, Pandan, ube, etc. I went with saffron rose pistachio and black sesame crunch. The first has a strong floral flavor and is on the sweeter side while the bittersweet sesame was my favorite. recommend!

Black sesame brittle is sooo yummy
mong linh n.

My favorite spot for black sesame ice cream. It's sooo nutty and creamy. They have plenty other house made flavors too, but this is always my go to.

I just wanted to post the August flavors. Please come and create your own experience.

Durian
Melody T.

I love their unique flavors! I usually get durian. Their black sesame brittle is delicious too. I've had some unlucky times when I've gotten icy ice cream tho. The workers are always super nice! There's one little table inside and a couple tables outside to sit and chat with friends.

Single of black sesame and dubai chocolate
Thu N.

Came here around 9pm. Staff were friendly and let us try a lot of flavors. The store itself is pretty clean and there's a lot of Asian-inspired ice cream flavors which is neat. The glaze for the black sesame is well-earned. It's a very creamy flavor and there's these yummy and huge chunks of black sesame sugar bits scattered. The Dubai chocolate was more of a pistachio ice cream than Dubai chocolate. There were microscopic bits of chocolate but not really enough to make it "Dubai chocolate." Would come back!

The menu at the Sunnyvale Farmer's Market
Scott F.

They have one flavor here that is outstanding: the black sesame, with sesame brittle mix-in. They sell their ice cream at the Milpitas store, and also at the Sunnyvale Farmer's Market on saturdays. So While you ae shopping for healthy vegetables at the farmer's market, indulge in some heavy cream at Sugar Mama.

Dropped by right before closing and the two girls working still welcomed me in. I picked up a pint of my favorite Black Sesame Brittle ice cream to bring home. Love the ice cream here!!

Yozu pie flavor
Jessi B.

The service was amazing! She let us try home almost all the flavors! Everything was super fresh and delicious! It was hard to pick a flavor because of how unique each one was. I ended up picking the yuzu pie flavor and I liked how refreshing and light it was. I do wish it would have been more frozen because of how hot the day was but other than that it was so good! For 3 single scoops came to about $19 and that's super reasonable given they make their ice cream from scratch. Cute tiny ice cream shop with super friendly staff!

rose water pistachio (top) black sesame (bottom)
Connie N.

i was in search of dessert places around the bay and came here based off of my co worker's recommendation. sugar mama is a cute little ice cream parlor that specializes in asian flavors like black sesame and lychee. similar vibes to marco polo. my friend got the rose water pistachio and i got the black sesame. heads up they limit to two samples per person so pick wisely lol. im not a huge black sesame fan but this ice cream had me HOOKED. the contrast of the brittle and creamy ice cream is so good. def a spot to check out if you want a sweet treat!

Do they sell quart sizes?

didn't see that as an option

Do they sell ice cream cakes?

Nope, just fantastic ice cream.

Does the ice cream have eggs?

Hi Meera - Great question! Our ice cream does not contain eggs. The only time is when we might add brownies or cookies. It will be noted in the label for each flavor.…

Item comes out very quickly and they have a stamping system for your purchases. 10 stamps will allow you to redeem an item. It would be nice to have an online stamping system like cashapp or something so that customers don't have to hold onto a physical card. Deals: Happy Hour Deal Mon-Fri (1pm-5:30pm) Set 1 $8 (1 croffle) Set 2 $12 (1 drink, 1 croffle) Set 3 $17 (2 drinks, 1 croffle) Set 4 $22 (2 drinks, 2 croffles) +$2 for ice cream scoop (only 1 per croffle) I ordered the Set 2: Matcha Latte, and Strawberry Cream Cheese w/Madagascar Vanilla ice cream croffle. The croffle and ice cream were very good! Not too sweet and just savory enough. If I could critique one thing, I wish the croffle was a little bit crispier! For the matcha latte, it was a bit sweeter than I expected. Unfortunately, milk alternatives here are limited and premixed matcha lattes only have whole milk. Would give it a 5-star if there could be more icecream options that are non-dairy! Interior: 4-5 tables with seating enough for around 12-20 people. They also sell mini cakes and pints which are SO cute! I will definitely try it next time.

There's usually 1-2 ladies working when we come in (usually after dinner) and they're always very nice and inviting. There was even a time when they ran out of brownies and they were able to substitute it for chocolate cake instead. The only downside about this location is that there are a lot of homeless individuals that walk around the plaza. There was even an instance where there was a homeless individual sleeping right outside the door. I just hope the workers are safe at night when closing up. Overall, we've continued to come back to this location when we're craving ice cream!

Although, I did think that it would come with lucky charms in it, since it looked like that in the picture lol. I was afraid the Lucky Charms was going to be too sweet, but it was actually perfect for me. I got the cheesecake halfed with Lucky Charms. The cheesecake was more subtle and had a great flavor that actually tasted like cheesecake. My friend got the cheesecake factory ice cream with graham crackers, and it was amazing! Each of these were 7.99 each. The service was super quick and they were nice. The place is small. I just wish they had more variety of flavors and new ones.

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.
