Uji Time Dessert is finally open, and right next to Tasty Pot, which I believe is the same owner for both places. Uji Time Dessert is a place that offers taiyaki ice cream as its primary pull, but also offers mochi ice cream, boba and other dessert options. But be aware it's not a full dessert place, like a Hong Kong style dessert place, so the menu variety is somewhat limited, but still enough to help provide a few options for those with a sweet tooth. Staff here are pretty friendly, so no complaints. When you walk in, it appears you have two options to order. You can either put in your order at the register, and speak with the person behind the counter, or there's a tablet to the side as well for you to just put your order in directly if you already know what you want and don't need to ask the staff any questions/recommendations. Pricing here is okay. For a dessert place, it's about on par pricing wise with similar offerings in the area, and comparable if you compare it to Devil & Angel Desserts, who also offers the same kind of sweets. My friend and I decided to try their taiyaki ice cream, which I was fairly hesitant to try in general because it's usually always terrible and not really taiyaki like. The taiyaki shell is typically rock hard, and just tastes like stale bread. For example, if you go to Devil & Angel who also offers taiyaki ice cream, it feels like I'm chewing on cardboard with that one. Needless to say, I wasn't exactly jumping to try it here either and had considered boba at first. They do also just offer the taiyaki by itself (not cone), but didn't try them this time but perhaps in the future visit. However, colored me impressed. Their taiyaki cone was actually quite nice. It's doughy soft, but still has enough of that crunch from the breading. And you can also choose what to smear the inside of your taiyaki shell with, which both my friend and I had gotten Nutella. Delicious. They also let you pick two toppings, such as pocky sticks, chocolate sticks, or some other options. I picked the vanilla and my friend picked the black sesame. The vanilla was good. Probably a tad different than your typical vanilla, but all the same tasty. The black sesame was probably more savory than sweet, but not for the lack of it being dessert, but the black sesame they used is not sweetened that much so most of the flavor you get will just be a straight black sesame. It works if that's what you're in the mood for. But overall, it's all of the different flavors and textures from the taiyaki, to the nutella, to the ice cream that all blends together so well. Makes for a tasty icey treat, which will be great for summer. Since it's next to Tasty Pot (and apparently owned by them too), there's no doubt that I will be back again. With 85c just a few stores down too, even more reason for me to drop by here on different days. Staff was helpful, and they're also pretty quick with getting the orders ready. I look forward to being back again in the future and trying out some of the other flavors with their taiyaki. Finally, after being teased by Maizo Taiyaki (closed now without ever serving a single taiyaki, lol) all these years, and then the sheer disappointment that is Devil & Angel with their so called taiyaki, we have an actual place for it in this part of the Bay. read more

This is another great dessert place! It's nothing new to be honest but their taiyaki ice cream is better than Somi Somi. I think their ice cream is thicker and richer and they have way more toppings to offer. All the other desserts they sell is nothing out of the ordinary. This place is packed quick so prepare to wait in line for a bit. The hype is big around this place; maybe because it's one of the only place of its kind here in Concord? In my area in Cupertino and Santa Clara there is an abundance of these dessert places so even though the hype is big, the crowds die quick and it's not that big of a deal as much anymore. This place should go back to normal flow as the months go by. Anyway, i like this place a lot and it's perfect for dessert after lunch/dinner at Tasty Pot. read more

I'm a sucker for anything matcha-ube. Stumbled upon this little spot when I had a hankering for something sweet after dinner. And to my surprise they had ice cream taiyaki - agboong. I had to get the swirl of ube&matcha. It's one of my fave combos and I always get it when and where ever I can find it. The sweetness of the ube with the less sweet matcha are the perfect combo in my opinion. I did however come towards the end of the night so the taiyaki was a little on the stale side. I'm sure it would have been less stale if I had come earlier. Can't blame them since I was one of their last customers. Def check them out. They had a mini variety of other drinks and such to choose from. If I'm ever in the area again, I would def return. read more

I had no idea they were opening a location here in Concord! Fortunately, while looking for desserts on yelp my fiancé came across Uji Time. I've never been to any location before but have heard of it. Came here on a Sunday afternoon and there was a short line. The interior was nice and clean and obviously new. We ordered two Taiyaki cones, although we definitely could've shared one. The portion was huge and very filling. However the Oreo bits seemed skimped and the taiyaki cone itself didn't taste fresh. I'd prefer it freshly baked and more crisp. It was too "bready" and a bit tough to chew. Overall I thought it tasted okay. The portions are big and staff were friendly. read more

Uji Time Dessert - How you doing? - Desserts Near Me - Concord, California

Want dessert after a meal but don't know if you want ice cream or boba? Come here! Uji time is in a plaza with so many food places and this is the perfect place to get something sweet after. There's a lot of parking and many seats inside. They serve ice cream, soft serve, pints, drinks, snacks and more! Got the Taiyaki with red bean, matcha, and Oreos for $8 and it's very filling! It's enough ice cream to share with some one. They're very generous with their servings here. The matcha soft serve is so good and not overly sweet at all (wish there was more Oreo and wish it was a red bean paste rather than whole beans)Their matcha choco chip ice cream is good too! They have one seasonal flavor all the time, make sure to look around or ask The reason why the the place is a 5 is because it's good, it's reasonably priced, easy parking, a lot of places to sit, and the workers are all very nice. I dropped my red bean on the table and I told them and they gave me more with no hesitation. read more

Came to the soft opening with a friend and the place seems quite nice! I love how open it feels and there is a pretty good amount of seating. I appreciate being able to order on a kiosk or right at the register, too. I ordered a strawberry green tea with boba and my friend got matcha soft cream and uji time fries. The drink tasted great and was refreshing for a hot day, so I definitely recommend. I can't speak on the soft cream, but I did try the uji time fries. The fries just tasted like any fries you could get except it also had takoyaki sauces on top. Quite an unusual thing to add to fries, but it did provide a unique taste. However, I could probably live without the sauces. Also, the bowl it comes in is an edible waffle cone bowl which is pretty cool. My only issue with this place so far is that they don't really call out the orders loud enough. Besides that, pretty good experience here and I'll come again. read more

I come here pretty occasionally and I still really like it! This Uji time is very roomy with plenty of places to sit. There is also a restroom for customers. Service is also super fast considering that besides ordering with a cashier, there is also self-checkout. Today I ordered the Thai Milk Tea with boba (my usual go-to) and the Chicken Karaage. Both are good, filling, and the chicken was perfect! I also recommend trying the soft serves or buying one of the pint ice creams. read more

I'm soo happy that they opened in our location! Now I don't have to drive all the way out to Berkeley for these ice creams! They have a limited time melon ice cream til this week, it's a must try! It reminds me of Korean ice cream bar "melona" but this one is less sweet compare to the actual bar. One of my favorite have to be UBE! I also got UBE for my second choice of ice cream. And my sister got sesame but not really our favorite. It has after taste of very bland flavor. Safest choice would be matcha but if you want to be new deff check out UBE read more

Watched a server wipe his nose in between orders and use his same hand to handle the taiyaki, more than once.

Soft opening this weekend with a 10% discount. Staff were nice and they were pretty quick. They're currently out of vanilla soft serve so I chose matcha. The matcha wasn't overpowering and even my boyfriend who doesn't love matcha enjoyed it. You can get two toppings for free with the taiyaki cone and also have some options for filling. The taiyaki gets a bit messy so grab extra napkins! read more

Uji Time Dessert - Matcha taiyaki with sprinkles and pocky - Desserts Near Me - Concord, California

Knocking stars off because of service. Came in and stood there for a while. There was a guy making an order for two people, nobody else. No hi or anything. Wasn't sure whether to wait for him to finish or use the self checkout kiosk. If it's required to pay through self check out, probably should make a sign for it. Then the lady called out my order and slammed the straw on the counter, I said thank you and no response. I love what you guys are selling and it's great but that kind of service is not what I'd come back for. read more

My kids LOVE the snow cream at this place. Located in the same shopping plaza as 85C, Tasty Pot, and other restaurants. The dessert place is small and doesn't offer a lot of seating but it offers dessert and dessert flavors that are harder to find in East Bay (like black sesame, matcha, ube, etc). Desserts are pricy but large in size. read more

Following a fun little adventure into the bins store where I made my bank account cry over little things, my friend and I noticed that Uji Time was holding its grand opening today (post made the day after grand opening) and so we sat and waited inside my car for 20 minutes, hoping we'd be part of the first 10 to get ourselves free ice cream and to try the taiyaki ice cream we've heard of. Within 10 minutes of opening, one person stood right at the door and we took that as our que to get out and stand in line. Soon we were in and we were enjoying our free ice cream that happened to be in a flavor we both know we'd probably never have the ability to try again for a while. I ordered a cup with the fish in top of Sakura ice cream (though the ube flavor was calling my name) with nutella filling and oreos and pocky sticks for my 2 free toppings! I also ordered the taro milk tea with egg pudding. All ice cream comes with 2 free toppings so make your decision, even though it could be hard to make that decision The restaurant was really cute and both the sakura ice cream with the nutella filled fish was super yummy especially after a morning adventure. I highly recommend checking this place out and getting an ice cream cup/fish as it's definitely not like other ice cream places. read more

Taiyaki is one of the best kinds of dessert to have after a delicious dinner down the way! After a hefty filling meal at Ohgane my BF and I were craving some ice cream to wash down all the savory goodness from Korean bbq. We came across Uji Time as we walked down the plaza and we were so happy they are conveniently located so close by. They don't have too much space inside so once the line starts to form you are waiting outside while they get through the line. They also seem to have online ordering options and even an Ipad like thing by their register if you are looking to skip the line. It's very similar to other Taiyaki locations; you choose your ice cream flavor, preference in a cup or your waffle fish, and add-ons. When I stopped by I went with the basic vanilla with Nutella filling and for my 2 free toppings, I went with pocky and a chocolate stick. It was pretty good! The Vanilla was very creamy and milky just the way I like it. I will say, I've been to other locations that thoroughly add the Nutella and I felt like during my visit the filling was a bit sloppy and quite a little bit. But nonetheless my whole experience at Uji Time was great and I def will be back to try their other flavors. read more

Creamy, tasty, and absolutely worth the price! I love coming to Uji Time for its soft serves and milkshakes (and with this location in particular, the high ceilings and spacious venue). I've had Uji Time in the past, but for some reason, this Concord location feels a lot more homey to me - it's an ideal spot to sit and chat with friends... it kind of reminds me of the type of places I'd spend time at with friends back in high school. The staff here work really fast, and even during the night time, the place stays busy, with its bright lighting and comfortable seating. Some of my favorites since coming here have included: - Honeydew soft serve: (10/10) This one is a seasonal flavor but it offers fresh and tender sweetness that makes anyone feel energized and refreshed after eating it. I love how the creamy texture amplifies the fruity touch. - Black Sesame soft serve: (8/10) I really like this flavor because it's a bit toasty while also retaining a creamy touch. It's much different than most other flavors here but still holds true to its flavor. - Ube milkshake: (9.5/10) I've had plenty of ube milkshakes in the past, but this one is absolute heaven to the tongue. It's not overwhelmingly sweet like those at other places, and offers a smooth texture while also keeping the nice yammy taste. I think coming to Uji Time is such a treat - the prices aren't too high and the quality of the desserts are fantastic. You'll find plenty of parking outside since it's located in a plaza too! read more

Uji Time Dessert - Honeydew and Black Sesame Swirl - Desserts Near Me - Concord, California

Our party ordered three items: - Black Sesame ice cream with Taiyaki [red bean filling], kinako powder, and a chocolate wafer straw - Oreo egg puff skewer - Matcha red bean smoothie (75% Sweetness) The staff first gave us our black sesame ice cream, but it was literally just the cup and ice cream - there was no taiyaki or any of our toppings. The staff did not even try to look at the receipt. After we literally told him how to do his job, he gave us back the ice cream with barely any kinako powder and a stale chocolate wafer. The filling inside the Taiyaki was barely a filling and proceeded to spill out over the ice cream instead of staying inside the taiyaki. The item itself was underwhelming but the incompetence of the staff made it much worse than it was. The Matcha red bean smoothie, which was supposed to be 75% sweetness, did not taste sweet at all (quite bitter in fact) and there was no red bean in the smoothie - it was only added as a topping which I did not understand. The smoothie was not blended well and there were a lot of ice chunks. The Oreo egg puff skewer was the only thing that was decent, as they made it fresh. It took them about fifteen minutes for them to finish making it. This was maybe the only redeeming item from our order. Overall the food and service was unsatisfactory. I'd recommend all the other dessert places in the Park and Shop instead of this place. Spend your hard earned money elsewhere. read more

Updated review ^^ 10/10 Dittos! TLDR; Much better than the last time I went and the sakura flavor is amazing! I decided to give this location another shot because I really love Uji and didn't want to drive all the way to Berkeley for it (': Safe to say that this time was great! Service was friendly, I was originally going to get the black sesame flavor but the girl at the register let me know that they have a limited Sakura flavor available! I got the taiyaki in a cup with the Sakura ice cream, nutella filling, kinako topping, and chocolate stick. I HIGHLY recommend trying out the Sakura flavor while its around. It's perfect to satisfy the dessert craving without being overly sweet! It was served to me very quickly and the serving size wasn't tiny like last time (': I will definitely be back again regularly to try the other things on the menu! read more

I am a huge hojicha fan, and I am so happy that this place has hojicha ice cream in pint! The price is $12 per pint. It is a little bit pricy but I feel it is worth it. I saw someone says that Asians' highest compliments when it comes to dessert is "not super sweet". I found it is so true, and the hojicha ice cream definitely not very sweet. it has very strong tea flavor and super creamy. I hope they will add hojicha favor to their soft serve selection in the future! read more

This review is for the young ladies who were working at Uji Time today. The store was quite busy and here I come to complain about my boba. I have been here many times and something tasted a little off. I explained the situation and without hesitation, the young lady at the counter fixed my order. She even came with a sample of salted crème for me to taste before she made me a new one. My drink was perfectly remade and I left sooo happy with the most delicious brown sugar boba with salted crème. These ladies should be recognized for their stellar customer service! Can't wait for my next visit. read more

A fun and new experience to having ice cream/yogurt. You pick the orientation of the cup and/or Taiyaki("fish waffle"), then filling in the fish, soft serve flavors, and toppings. Too many delicious choices, so be prepared when you come! I couldn't decide so I asked for a combination of the flavors. I wanted to try something new so I got the Black Sesame and Vanilla, with Red beans and Pokey Matcha sticks. Talk about the perfect combination!!! read more

Uji Time Dessert - Matcha soft serve - Desserts Near Me - Concord, California

4.5/5 Stopped in here after a delicious lunch next door because there's always room for dessert! I remember the anticipation of their first location opening in Berkeley. Taiyaki cones with soft serve wasn't as popular in the Bay Area as it is now. I had to text a phone # to pre-order the cones because they were only able to make a limited amount per hour. Gaining popularity and fast forward to now with multiple locations across the East Bay (according to their website they are expanding out of state too!) makes me very happy for them. I've tried almost all the regular flavors at their other location so I decided to try the seasonal flavor this visit. I got the Lychee Rose flavor with rice pearl topping and Nutella cone filling (love floral flavors and I tend to gravitate towards them). It tasted just like it sounds - LOVED every bite of it! My +1 got the chocolate and said it was good although I did give him a hard time for being so basic. :D Limited seating in their narrow dining area. Space was simple, bright, and clean. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The bathroom was clean as well but also extremely cold like a walk in freezer. I grabbed a toilet seat cover and it literally flew away from the "breeze" - pretty funny (Which is ironic because I recall some visits to their other location always felt like a furnace)! $8 is on the pricier side but you do get 2 free toppings plus 1 filling which isn't bad at all. Also, we received 10% off our order (thank you Yelpers for the tip!). There are other dessert items on the menu as well if taiyaki isn't your thing but I say be adventurous and try it out! Definitely will stop in again sometime to try seasonal flavors and get my taiyaki cone fix! Pro-Tip: Bring your receipt if you dined next door at Tasty Pot for 10% off your purchase. Check their website and socials for periodic special promos/discounts. read more
