    IG @allysxn.eats | sampled all their ice cream flavors which were all very authentic in flavors! our favorites were the black sesame and thai tea. the ube and mango sticky rice were good as well, but on the sweeter side. will need to come back to try their other desserts!

    The service was amazing and the owner and staff were super sweet. The owner came out to greet us and in details of all the items in the display case. We got to sample some of the ice cream and I have to at that the mango sticky rice was my favorite. We ordered the Che and it was so refreshing, not too sweet and the ginger sauce complimented it well. We also took a pandan tofu pudding to go. Ate it two days later with the ginger sauce and it was still good and creamy. Definitely will be back!

    The Yogo is an Asian ice cream shop located in an end suite of a strip of businesses in the Mira Mesa neighborhood. The parking situation was a bit tight as there was a nearby donut shop that drew a lot of customers, not to mention the other neighbors next door to the east. The inside was rather compact as well with three small tables for seating and a similar number of tables outside in front on the sidewalk. I visited during the soft opening period last month. About a half dozen customers were ahead of me in line. The movement was slow because taste samples were being offered, and nearly everyone tried some flavors. Besides ice cream, there was hot tofu pudding and other prepackaged desserts in the refrigerated display case. The ice cream scoop sizes were single, double, triple, and kids. The single was available as split flavors which was what I bought after tasting a few varieties. From the eight different choices, the Honey Avocado and Refreshing Coconut ended up in my cup. A wafer cookie was placed in between the two flavors like a buffer. The frozen products were very smooth and creamy, but they also melted quickly so I had to consume them rapidly. I liked the coconut better because it did taste refreshing as described.

    New Vietnamese owned dessert shop in the neighborhood. I came specifically for the pandan tofu and the xoa xoa(trio Jelly). The pandan tofu was ok for me. I would prefer it without the coconut milk next time. The Xoa xoa dessert was very very good! I love the addition of the ginger syrup! Some ice cream flavors available are mango sticky rice, coconut, durian thai tea, chocolate , strawberry, matcha and honey avocado! Very friendly staff! A few indoors seatings available as well as outdoor!

    One word. Durian. Seriously though, the ice cream texture was great, flavors strong without being too sweet, and they had a great selection of Asian flavors, including Durian.

    Was super excited to try this place as they specialize in Asian flavors. They did not disappoint! They let you have samples of their flavors and boy, were the flavors spot on! We ended up getting matcha (very matcha forward), coconut (made with coconut milk and real coconut pieces), mango sticky rice (sooo fruity), ube (very fresh tasting- not earthy at all or artificial tasting), and Thai tea (perfect taste). They also have pandan coconut pudding and flan, but we haven't tried them. Owners and staff were very nice! Great location on the corner with some tables outside and seating area inside.

    Great ice cream, didn't get to use the bathroom so I can't comment on that, but very clean interior, very mom and pop local brand feel. They answered a lot of questions I had, let me taste multiple ice creams, and they're all very clearly hand made, with the Vietnamese Coffee being very authentic. Only thing is it is a bit pricey, but you're paying for premium quality, artisian even, as cringe as that word is, this place deserves to be called that. Artisian, not cringe.

    New ice cream place dropped and it's so cute! There was a lil man helping at the counter and very mom and pop shop vibes. The staff was friendly and were willing to serve us even though we hadn't realized they were about to close up shop. There's a few tables out front and some seating inside but def better for couples and to-go. The ice cream flavors are Asian inspired: Viet coffee, Ube, Thai Tea, mango sticky rice, and durian to name a few. They allowed our group to sample a few flavors and I personally loved the Vietnamese coffee and Ube. Both were rich and flavorful. Durian also had a pleasant vanilla-custard-like taste that my group enjoyed! In addition to ice cream they had flan and 2 types of tofu: Ginger sugar (hot) and pandan (cool) Wonderful little spot we spotted from their soft opening sign, would def recommend checking out since their soft opening gives a 15% discount!!

    When I heard there was a new ice cream spot opening in Mira Mesa offering a variety of Asian flavors, I was excited! I needed some ice cream after a long, hot day so I decided to drop by. Immediately, I noticed the cute decor inside. Definitely welcoming for families and children. After finishing waiting in line for the families in front of me, I was thanked for waiting and with a smile, my ice cream was scooped. Awesome service! I chose the Thai Tea and Mango Sticky Rice ice creams for my single split scoop. The Thai Tea was packed full of Thai tea flavor so I knew I immediately had to choose that one. The Mango Sticky Rice emulated the coconut milk in regular mango sticky rice well to my pleasant surprise. Both ice cream scoops were exceptionally enjoyable!

    Ube and Mango
    Sahil P.

    This is a nice small shop with a good flavor selection! There's some seating inside and out. The ice cream and service were both great - they let you sample as many flavors as you'd like!

    Jason Y.

    Saw the sign for their soft opening and I'm glad I came by after dinner! The mango sticky rice ice cream is a must try! I also tried the tofu pudding and it was also very yummy. Curious to try their other flavors. Service was very nice and love the orchids inside.

    Good dessert place in Mira mesa area. The tofu is the thing to get here. Perfect texture and flavor. The flan was silky and delicious. Matcha ice cream was good. I highly recommend!

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 other thing that got to me was that the men's restroom was out of service so they did not announce it or anything but the women's bathroom was to be used by both genders but it was crowded so a bit uncomfortable. Service wise we got our deserts and the deserts are still very delicious. We were a larger party and they were able to accommodate and get all of our orders correctly.

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.

We stopped by recently and got incredibly lucky--there was no line in sight, so we walked right up to order! The Cookies: Gooey, Crisp, & Perfectly Balanced My wife decided to try a trio of cookies, picking out Snickerdoodle, Peanut Butter Reese's, and classic Chocolate Chip. 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.
