Somi Somi the place to be... when you feel like some soft serve with non traditional flavors. This place has outdoor seating only.

I've got to this place so many times at the service is always good. The prices are there, but the quality of the desert remains consistent. This place is definitely different compared to ice cream spots due to its unique factor of the cone. I have been to multiple locations and I have never been disappointed with the quality of the product.

Absolutely love their ice cream and taiyaki. Have tried ube, matcha and Oreo ice cream. Hard to pick a favourite.Ice cream is not too sweet and is very smooth to eat.

The Thai Tea soft serve is the bomb! So good. The flavors of the Ube, Cookies and cream and the Matcha are somewhat muted. The green tea soft serve at the dessert Cafe in Mitsuwa is way better.

I've never been disappointed by a somi somi. Great spot serve with a very cute taiyaki helmet. A bit on the heavier side (there's a lot of ice cream!), but a wonderful snack or dessert nevertheless!

My kids #1 soft serve request! My son loves to get a Taiyaki filled with Nutella as well. No line when it's cold out ?Parking: Depends on the time of day!
Overall: 4.2/5 (takeout)Came here for dessert after lunch with the family. They have a much larger staff than most Somi Somi locations we've been too. However, the cashier dude just didn't look happy. Granted, he was working on Christmas Day so it's understandable.Upside Down Ahboong ($6.95): We got the matcha & red bean swirl with custard filling, matcha powder, and coconut flakes. The matcha was good but the red bean was too sweet. We didn't finish it and put the left over soft serve in my cold brew.Cold Brew Soft ($5.95): I got the cookies n' cream & ube soft serve. It wasn't that sweet but balanced out the cold brew. Once you mix it up, the drink texture is in between an iced coffee and slushie/frosty. Adding in the matcha & red bean swirl soft serve made the drink sweeter. This was better than expected and didn't taste as creamy as a affogato surprisingly.

First time trying the upside down ahboong. The soft serve was very good. But what made it excellent was the warm fish shaped bread with custard inside. Use it to scoop some of the soft serve and you are in heaven! Add some fruity pebbles on top... crunch! And the crisp of the fish bread with the custard... the mouth is happily busy!

Kinda upset with myself that I didn't know about this place already! lol What a cute little place and an even cuter offering! I'll spare the details and say that their soft-serves were amazing!! We got the Ube and Cookies and Cream flavors and Ube was much better. Taiyaki was a very new and a very novel concept for me and I was very apprehensive when I ordered one, but it was soooo good!! We got the red bean filling and it was the right amount of sweet. If the line wasn't wayyy out the door, we would've ordered a couple more for sure. What really hit it outta park for me though was the service. I accidentally ordered and paid for 3 cups and then when they prepped the order, I realized my mistake. I let my server know and she promptly cancelled my additional order and reimbursed the money for the extra cup. Even with such a long line, she was very quick with rectifying my order and I thought that kinda service was a class apart. We will definitely stop by at the nearest SomiSomi location every opportunity we get!

I don't get the hype and I definitely wasn't impressed but I'm glad I finally gave SomiSomi a try...My SO and I brought our 3 year old here for dessert and the usual sight of long, forever growing lines did not disappoint. To be clear, the size of the crowd from an outsider's perspective is actually a combo of customers standing around intertwined with patrons who are actually waiting to get in and purchase. Don't be too quick to make the decision NOT to visit like I did a few times.Being that this was our first time at SomiSomi, we were a bit indecisive as we looked over the menu. The employee at the register wasn't rude but it was obvious that he wanted us to just keep things moving. After apologizing a number of times, we decided to go with:- Matcha & Ube Swirl w/ Fruity Pebbles- [Upside Down Ahboong] Cookies & Cream w/ SprinklesTo be honest, the best part of this whole experience was the pretty pictures I got out of it. The soft serve was overhyped in my opinion and it melted a lot quicker than I had hoped- even on a cold blustery evening. Kudos specifically because these purchases are great for photography purposes but it didn't tickle my fancy when it came down to taste. Cant say I'd be a regular but I'm glad I gave it a go.

Located in Main Street Cupertino, SomiSomi will bring you some amazing soft serve ice cream. Compared to other SomiSomi places which have 6 flavors, this branch only offers 4 flavors at a given time. There is no seating inside, but there are plenty of tables outside to enjoy the ice cream.Their usual soft serve ice cream costs $4.50, but I enjoy it. It's very thick and doesn't melt that fast. It's also quite creamy and has a taste you won't get tired of. For two dollars more, you can add fish tayaki to your ice cream either as a cone or a topping. I recommend getting it as a topping as the tayaki will become soggy as a cone. It tastes very fresh and adds that cake-texture to your ice cream. Regarding the flavors, you really can't go wrong with any of them! My personal favorite are the Milk flavor and the Sesame flavor as it's more unique compared to other ice cream places!Overall definitely give this dessert place a shot. It is quite the catch!
Yup, I'm a fan.
