    I really wanted to like this place, but it fell short for me. The ice cream flavors themselves were unique and different from the typical options you find elsewhere, which was probably the highlight of the visit. Unfortunately, the rest of the experience was disappointing. There was very limited selection, especially when it came to toppings and customization. The presentation looked good, but the portions and overall offering didn't match the hype. Overall, while the ice cream had some interesting flavors, I wasn't impressed enough to come back. There are other ice cream shops with better variety, toppings, and overall value.

    Nestled in a small shopping complex on Convoy, Sunday Ice Cream is an everyday splurge! Vietnamese Coffee and Black Sesame took me to my happy spot and was delicious and refreshing. Ice cream texture is smooth with the right amount of sweet! Not much! Service was nice and friendly. Ambiance is clean.

    Sunday Ice Cream deserves a solid 5 stars for their unique ice cream flavors. I stopped in after having dinner at Friend's House a few doors down. Anyone dining in at Friend's House gets 10% off their purchase at Sunday Ice Cream so, of course, we didn't want to pass up that deal lol. There were a lot of people waiting in line but it moved fast. This small ice cream shop also has a couple tables inside and extra seating outside. They have Single, Single-Split, and Double Scoop available. I chose a Single-Split of two flavors: Jolly Pong (Korean cereal and milk) and Kumquat Lemon Sorbet. Both were delicious. Overall, I really enjoyed the creamy Jolly Pong and refreshing Kumquat Lemon Sorbet. I hope to be back to try their other flavors.

    FOOD: One of my favorite things about Sunday Ice Cream is their Asian-inspired flavors! I also like the waffle chip when you order in a cup Thai Tea: The Thai tea flavor had a bold, strong tea taste that really stood out. It was rich without being overpowering and is nice if you enjoy classic Thai tea. Milo - The Milo flavor is for chocolate lovers. It has a deep, malty chocolate flavor. Jasmine Milk Tea - The jasmine milk tea was floral/fragrant tasting, creamy, and sweeter than the boricha (another tea flavor). It still had a noticeable tea flavor, but the sweetness was also pretty present Boricha - The boricha was rich, earthy, and full of roasted barley flavor. It is less sweet than the jasmine milk tea and is perfect for people who enjoy stronger, slightly bitter tea flavors. My favorite order was the two-scoop combination with the jasmine milk tea and boricha. Since they are both tea flavors, they complemented each other really well. The jasmine milk tea added a sweeter, creamier contrast while the boricha brought a deeper, roasted tea flavor. Together, they created a balanced combination that I would definitely order again. SERVICE: One thing I also appreciated was that they let you taste-test flavors before deciding, making it easy to find your favorite. The service was fast, simple, and straightforward. Ordering easy. AMBIANCE: Sunday Ice Cream is a small, cute shop with a cozy feel. Seating is limited, but it never felt like an issue because people are constantly coming and going. Some customers grab their ice cream and enjoy it outside, while others chill inside. It has a casual cute atmosphere.

    Waffle cone with Vietnamese coffee and Ube ice cream
    Amy L.

    Rich and excellent flavors! I enjoyed my split scoop of Vietnamese coffee and Ube. All flavors are full dairy, except for the sorbet, of which there was only one today. Very kind and helpful staff, and I was able to try multiple flavors as it was my first time. Indoor seating available good for small groups. Overall, pricier than expected but would come back if I'm craving something cool and sweet.

    Great, interesting ice cream at very reasonable prices. Almost everything was something we wanted to sample. The sheer amount of tea infused/flavored ice creams was nothing short of amazing. We ended up deciding on the Thai tea, strawberry milk, boricha (toasted barley), and kumquat lemon sherbert. At $4.50 for a kids scoop (still generous in size) and $5.25 for a regular, you can't beat the prices. Free self serve sprinkles, tajin, and sweetened condensed milk at then end as well. This will be our new go to ice cream spot in the area.

    Top: Matcha, Bottom: Pandan

    I'm glad that Sunday Ice Cream is another reliable place for Asian flavored ice cream! There was still the staple flavors like pandan and matcha, but this time around I tried their Lemon Loquat (I think that was the flavor?) Maybe it was kumquat, but either way it was a citrus, dairy-free sherbet. I liked that it wasn't too icy and hard in comparison to their POG before, and I also like the fact you can get a baby size. After check out they're also the option to add sprinkles, condensed milk, and I even saw tajin this time around! Highly recommend coming here for the Asian flavored ice cream!

    Okay listen. Life is good. Especially when you randomly get ice-cream on a weekday. Obsessed with life. Anyway there were so many of my favorite flavors like Thai tea, sesame, matcha, all the things. I ordered the sesame and matcha double scoop in a waffle cone. I finished EVERY LAST BITE. DO YOU HEAR ME?! THE SESAME WAS MY FAVORITE. THE MATCHA WAS PRETTY STRONG. STILL THERE..MENTALLY. My husband ordered the Vietnamese coffee flavor one scoop in a cone. He loved it. I swear there are so many good places to eat and drink at the Convoy district period. Check them out.:)

    It's always nice to find an ice cream shop that offers flavors different from the usual, especially Asian-inspired ones. This isn't my first time trying Sunday, and it definitely won't be my last. This time, I went with the pandan and Thai tea flavors. I'm a big fan of Thai tea ice cream, so I'm glad to know I have a spot back home that serves it. The pandan was refreshing as well and balanced everything out nicely. All in all, definitely give Sunday a try if you're looking for something a little different from the typical ice cream lineup.

    Forgot to take the pic before the first bites: split scoop Vietnamese coffee and black sesame
    Malia P.

    With Hammond's gone, it was hard to find another quality ice cream shop with easy parking. Sunday ice cream specializes in top notch ice cream with Asian flavors. I sampled a few before deciding on a split scoop. Their portions are generous so one "scoop" could easily be shared. There is a small selection of free toppings available at the cashier. Their ice cream is perfectly sweetened, enough to highlight the flavors. I got Vietnamese coffee and black sesame. The colors together aren't instagram styled but my mouth was happy.

    Kids jasmine milk tea ice cream
    Krista U.

    I love all of the Asian inspired flavors offered here. Staff were friendly and allowed me to sample a few flavors before deciding on a scoop of the jasmine milk tea. It was a perfect combo of sweet and floral. There's usually a line, but it does move quickly. Parking can be challenging though as the lot is shared with restaurants.

    This is my second time coming here and the flavors are always so good! I love that the staff are friendly and allow you to try the flavor before you decide. I also love that they sell Lactaid for the lactose intolerant people. I ordered the jasmine milk tea, Vietnamese coffee, and the matcha flavor. My favorite was the Vietnamese coffee, the coffee flavor was strong but not overpowering. The jasmine milk tea tasted exactly like the boba drink in ice cream form. And the matcha flavor itself was strong in matcha flavor which I liked, and was not too milky. The parking here can be pretty bad, since it shares a lot with many other restaurants, so keep this in mind. Sunday Ice Cream is still worth coming to after dinner though.

    split scoop ($6.25) - got matcha and black sesame because those are my go to orders - this is like the most MATCHA-Y MATCHA ice cream ever on the west coast wow; i actually felt like i was swimming in green grass - it is so so so strong with a good amount of bitterness, your TONGUE will turn green - black sesame was pretty good but not the strongest; it could be more nutty n toasty rating: 4.8/5 - i will DRIVE 2 hrs just to get this ice cream and that is saying a lot because i will not do this for any other spots other than kansha - the matcha was just so impressive i still think about her - i like how it's spacious inside and they got some tables and seats inside too - also the graphic design is top tier; whoever designed their posters are cutie pies - quick service; nothing much to note IG: @nom.noms.only

The latte was good, and my friend bought a kitchen sink type cookie with chocolate, coconut, and macadamia nuts. It was warm and gooey good! Another friend tried the gelato and said it was very good. There are a few tables inside and tables out in front outside. We sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful San Diego weather. The decor and tables definitely gives you an old school Italian neighborhood vibe with Italian markets right next door. If I am in the neighborhood again, I would definitely come back here to try the gelato and/or a piece of an excellent looking lemon pie bar I spotted.

The decor and setting is cute and quirky, including cow sculptures hanging upside down from the ceiling. There were only a couple other visitors when we arrived, as it was near opening time. Our dishes took a whopping 35 minutes to be ready, and service was not very friendly nor helpful. Luckily, the music playing through the speakers added a nice vibe to the place, songs like Our House by Madness and Can't Fight This Feeling. We ordered the brunch pizza (with eggs cooked overeasy) and the breakfast flatbread which looked almost identical when served, as well as an iced mocha. The quality of the pizza was pretty average, and the eggs were slightly overcooked. The drink was really good, made fresh, with a smooth taste and a nice sweetness to it, the plastic cup coated in chocolate sauce. It tasted more like chocolate milk with a hint of coffee, which I personally enjoyed. They typically serve gelato here, but it would not be ready till almost two hours after opening time. So no milkshakes or cold desserts were available in the morning this past Sunday (no worries, Ghirardelli is just a block away). I appreciate the variety of menu items offered here. But they really should communicate online that their gelato's not ready till two hours into the day. If there's one thing that irks me about an establishment, it's failure to communicate appropriately. Even though our recent visit was somewhat disappointing, I still gave 3 stars, assuming this was an off day for them.

They completely nailed the texture. Every single cookie hit that golden sweet spot--warm and gooey in the middle with just the right amount of crisp edge. What really stood out was the balance of ingredients. Chocolate Chip: Perfectly measured so you get sweet chocolate in every bite without feeling overwhelmed by chips. Peanut Butter Reese's: An absolute dream ratio of rich peanut butter to chocolate peanut butter cups. Snickerdoodle: Perfectly spiced, striking just the right "snicker-to-doodle" balance! Of course, we couldn't leave without trying the ice cream. I ordered a combination of Cookie Monster and Campfire in a single scoop. The portion size was remarkably generous--it completely filled up the small cup and delivered a fantastic mix of flavors. My wife went with a scoop combining Espresso Oreo and Mint & Chip, which she thoroughly enjoyed. Overall, these were easily some of the best desserts we've had in a very long time. Whether you're a local or just exploring the downtown area, Milk & Cookies is well worth a visit.
