    Single Split: Kumquat Lemon Sorbet (bottom) & Jolly Pong (top)
    Wendy L.

    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.

    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.:)

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    Black sesame and ube. Like an upscale obj
    Danelle F.

    Quite possibly the BEST ice cream I've ever had. So creamy and delicious flavors. I got black sesame and ube. Perfect combo! My son got matcha and Vietnamese coffee. The matcha is very matcha-y but son enjoyed it. Black sesame is very nutty, and a perfect complement to the ube. Love that you can split a single scoop and it's the perfect amount.

    Black sesame and boricha ice cream
    Mikayla M.

    I love the black sesame and boricha flavors. I would come here every time I visit San Diego. It's clean and nicely decorated inside. Service is fast and friendly. Lots of unique flavors as well.

    Stop by after Korean bbq, good selection of exotic/Asian flavor ice creams here. Matcha was hella potently bitter & not for everyone, black sesame just ok. I liked the jasmine & lemon flavors. Vietnamese coffee was potent, hello panda was good.

    Small little ice cream shop, friendly service. You can try samples. They have kid sized cups as well as cones. They offer specialty flavors as well as a couple of non dairy flavors. Seating is limited especially on a weekend. They are located in a parking lot with several other establishments, parking. Is free for the first two hours. Our kiddos LOVED the ice cream! Definitely try them out!

    This is the Asian ice cream shop of my dreams Also they are VERY generous with their scoops! There was a line out the door when we went at night, but it's because the staff was very generous with samples. Also all the flavors looked so good I wanted to sample all of them if I could! Such a cute little ice cream shop! I will definitely take my friends and family here!

My friends and I were just looking to get a coffee in Little Italy, but when we walked in and saw all the delicious treats we had to try something else as well. I ordered a latte and neglected to tell them it was for here so I was given a paper cup, but they give real cups if you ask. 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 Fact that Flavors are Always Rotating Proves this Company is Truly Artisan. I came Back Looking for the Melon + Prosciutto Flavor, as I Sampled it awhile Back. I Heard there was some in the Back.....so I Hope y'all will Please have it Out and I'll Keep checking Back for it. The Prices are Pretty Reasonable. 1 double Scoop for $12.25 is Not Bad. WORTH IT. Ps) One of the Awesome things about this place is that you can order 2 scoops w/ 4 Different flavors, Dividing each of the flavors into 1/2 scoop. More Bang for your buck!

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.

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.
