It is a small place but the ice cream packs a punch. The service is what you would expect. They allow you to taste some flavors before buying. We had the mango, burnt sesame and strawberry. We liked all of them but the burnt sesame was AMAZING!!! The large chunks of sesame bark was an explosion of flavor. Love it and we would definitely come back again.

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!

I just want to share how satisfied and happy we are with the crepe cake I purchased for my husband…read more It was absolutely perfect! The design was so classy, elegant, and truly above my expectations. You can really see the care and creativity that went into making it. My husband was so happy when he saw it, and it made the celebration even more special for us. I also want to give a special thanks to the manager at the San Jose location. When I mentioned that we would be traveling in the car for about 7 hours, they were so kind and helpful in giving us options to make sure the cake would stay perfect during the trip. Their suggestion worked so well! Overall, I am beyond satisfied with both the cake and the wonderful customer service. Highly recommend! Thank you for making our celebration extra special.

There's no where to dine in so you take it and leave. I didn't enjoy the tiramisu crepe cake. I think it was a little too mushy for me. It didn't have the mascarpone flavor of tiramisu. It was also very very expensive. I'd recommend going to Lady M in Valley Fair for better crepe cakes.

I was super excited to visit Sulbing as this was my first time trying bingsoo! We initially went…read morelast night only to find out they stop taking orders at 9:15 pm so keep that in mind. We ended up going again the next day to try it. We ordered the Premium Strawberry Sulbing and the Mozzarella Injeolmi Toast. The bingsoo was delicious and not too sweet, loaded with fresh strawberries and a big cheesecake wedge. It's especially great for a hot summer day. The portion size was good to share between two people. The toast was yummy but does have a sweeter taste profile due to the honey drizzle on top. Overall a great experience! We'll definitely be coming back!

Sulbing is a Korean dessert café best known for bingsu, a shaved ice dessert made with an…read moreincredibly fine texture that feels closer to snow than traditional shaved ice. We walked into a clean, modern space with a casual café feel that works well for stopping by after a meal or meeting up with friends for something sweet. The shop focuses on creative variations of bingsu with toppings ranging from fruit to chocolate, matcha, and other dessert-inspired flavors, and the layout encourages lingering over a shared dessert rather than rushing through a quick stop. The biggest highlight is the texture of the shaved ice itself. The ice is extremely soft and light, melting quickly while still holding the flavors from the toppings and condensed milk. We ordered the Injeolmi Sulbing, which showcases the more traditional side with nutty flavors, and the combination of the fine ice, chewy rice cake, and nutty powder created a dessert that felt both refreshing and satisfying. The Tiramisu and Chocolate Brownie Sulbing turn it into a much more indulgent experience, with richer flavors that feel closer to a full dessert than a light treat. The presentation is impressive, with each bowl arriving looking carefully composed, and the layers of toppings are distributed well enough that you get a good mix in every spoonful. The portions are also a major part of the appeal. A single bingsu is easily shareable, making it a good choice for groups or anyone looking for a dessert to split after a meal. We found that sharing worked well, as the portion was generous enough to satisfy two people without feeling like we were missing out. Beyond bingsu, they also offer items like toast and other sweet treats, which give the menu more variety and make it a place you can visit even if you are not in the mood for shaved ice. The main thing to keep in mind is that the experience depends heavily on the flavor you choose. Some versions rely more on the toppings for their flavor, while others feel more balanced throughout. The presentation is impressive, but certain options may feel less satisfying if you expect every bite to have the same intensity as the first. The fruit-based versions, for example, rely on the freshness of the fruit to carry the dessert, while the chocolate and tiramisu versions have a more consistent richness from the base itself. Sulbing is a great spot for trying Korean-style shaved ice. The unique texture, large portions, and variety of flavors make it stand out from typical dessert shops, especially if you enjoy lighter desserts with creative toppings. The balance of refreshing and indulgent options across the menu gives you room to explore different styles on repeat visits, and the quality of the ingredients makes each bowl feel considered and well composed.

I've been to Co Ba twice now and had a great experience both times. I was looking for a reliable…read moredessert spot open late that serves desserts on the lighter side, and che fit the bill perfectly. Both times I've gone were half an hour before closing and the store was packed. The first time I got the Ha Noi Mist and the Lychee Rose, the second time I got the Ha Long Sunset and a limited stock warm specialty dessert with pandan and ube dumplings in a ginger coconut sauce. The Ha Noi Mist's ingredients sounded the most aligned with my personal preferences and I got the Lychee Rose to try something different but refreshing on a warm summer night. I was hesitant to get the Ha Long Sunset since I'm not a fan of jackfruit but Eric voted for it, and also the dumplings since a ginger coconut sauce sounds weird but he said that's what he wanted. Sipping che through a straw definitely beats spooning it. Make sure to thoroughly mix the drink and crush up the ice a bit before indulging. On my first visit I didn't notice the kiosk and ordered with the cashier so I was confused at how I would know when my order is ready because I didn't get a number or a receipt, but I later noticed the screens displaying that information on the wall. I'm a big fan of pandan jelly. The red pearls can be good but can sometimes have a bit of a crunchy chew in the center. Young coconut has a good flavor but a texture that isn't my favorite. I did not like the jackfruit in the Ha Long Sunset, but the flavor wasn't strong enough to ruin the whole dessert. I feel like che is a dessert that is not necessarily expensive or time consuming to produce, and the milk tea/fruit tea prices here are definitely on the pricey end given their component ingredients. Yes I would revisit, especially when I need dessert late, but I feel that making che at home could be the cost-effective alternative.

My husband and I visited while waiting for a table at Flaming Ox, the restaurant next door. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted warmly by the cashier and we browsed around leisurely looking at all the different food items. This establishment is small, but there are so many different offerings: pineapple cakes (a Taiwanese staple), chili oil, tea, coffee, ice cream, and so much more. I'd really love to come back here and try out the more unique foods like their rice cakes and mung bean ice cream, but my husband and I got a notification that our table was ready so we went to eat our lunch. We returned after our meal and were greeted again. We looked at all the pineapple cakes again because my family enjoys them so much and my husband wanted to gift them a box for a Christmas present. All of the boxes are so beautifully designed and we finally settled on one. The cashier was very kind and talked to us about the iTaiwan membership and how to get the most benefits out of it. She also packaged the pineapple cakes in a cute bag for us for free! A very cozy story run by cute people. I will most definitely visit again.

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!

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.

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!
