Dessert Restaurants near Del Mar, CA

“love the atmosphere and location — perfect place to grab a treat by the ocean on a hot summer afternoon while checking out the books next door. the texture and quality of the ice cream was so good it made me temporarily fall in love with the incredibly helpful staff member in the yellow Third Man Records shirt who helped me (haha jk … unless?)“

“Let me start by saying that Alex, with an amazing attitude, kindness and smile was super 👌 🙏🙏..
Came here to do a job, walked in and he greeted me with this an incredible attitude!!! Not to mention the cheese cake. Delicious.

Thank you Alex.“

“the three folks on this evening when we came in absolutely handled the nonstop rush they were in. we’ve been here when it was a 3 minute wait and a 15 minute wait & so very worth waiting even longer. again, the employees working this evening were awesome. there were people non stop & they were hustling and having a good time with each other. love a healthy work environment during rushes- made me miss my old barista days :)“

“Cute local spot with a great variety of beverages. The sweetness level is just right and the ingredients for the fruit beverages taste very fresh. I appreciate being able to order through the kiosk so I can customize my drink exactly to order. Service is quick and polite.“

“This place is the cats meow. Don’t sleep on this convoy gem.“

“Crumbl Cookies never disappoints! The cookies are always fresh, soft, and packed with flavor. I love that the menu changes every week, so there’s always something new to try. The staff is friendly, the store is clean, and the presentation is top-notch. Whether you’re treating yourself or bringing a box to share with family and friends, Crumbl is always a hit. If you love warm, gourmet cookies, this place is definitely worth a visit. Five stars!“

“This was the most amazing cookie that I ever tried in my life, even though it was kinda hard, but you just have to warm it up and yeah, I really liked eating here. Definitely coming back for more. Definitely tell my friends about this. I’m here just for free cookie bye.“

“Really solid cheesecake. The passion fruit is my favorite. I would love a bit more tang and a slightly thicker texture, but it is still delicious. We took it home and dressed it with fresh berries, which made it even better. Definitely one of my go-to spots for a special-occasion dessert.“

“I went to the Katy, TX location and that location also doesn’t have seating. I’m not sure if that’s a common theme. They do have a standing table that you can place your dessert and eat. I ordered the upside down with matcha and sakura berry soft serve and matcha custard filling. This was from March 29, 2026 so I’m not sure if they changed out flavors. Everything was delicious. The soft serve was good but I didn’t really taste the sakura berry. Parking is plentiful, it’s in a shared lot. Pricing is fair. Service was fast and pleasant.“

“Delicious cookies and amazing custom cookie cake! Ice cream was great too.“

“iceskimo SNOW over frozen yogurt any day, froyo prices have been astronomical. I read some other review saying their snow is artificial but it’s actually made with real ingredients.

Unique taiwanese shaved snow place. there's no other place like this in San Diego that i know of. It's a small business that has been around for at least a decade. Very busy friday/weekend nights, lines usually long but if you go weekdays it's better.

the snow is made with real ingredients unlike other places that use powders/syrups for flavor. The blocks of snow are already flavored (think of it like a big block or ice cream, just shaved in layers). Service is also generally good!

I would recommend getting any dairy based snow with condensed milk layered! it brings out the flavor. the non dairy flavors are like sorbet but also very tasty (i like the lychee or super lemon which tastes like frozen lemonade).

if you pick a build your own bowl, it's weighed (snow or softserve) after you get toppings. I notice it's usually between $5-$10 obviously dependent on weight but the minimum is 4.50 so if you are below that, they'll just charge 4.50.

I'd recommend this place if you want a lighter sweet treat! Other places can be heavy but because this is shaved, it's easier on the tummy. they do also have waffle creations that seem good for couples to share~ (my favorite is the strawberry shorty, it has cheesecake bites and fresh strawberries, the waffle, and vanilla softserve). they have taiyaki too but it's not like somi somi where there's icecream inside, it's just filled or plain (the nutella one is really good).“

“This place is literally phenomenal. Banana bread pudding matcha latte, strawberry matcha, matcha cheese cake, ube and matcha ice cream is absolutely spectacular. Can’t wait to come back and try more things from their menu. The matcha is ceremonial which makes everything high quality.
P.s. there’s a ramen noodles station there and it’s also amazing. 🤤“

“Great cafe late and Mille crêpe cake!!!!!!“

“Absolutely DELICIOUS and highly recommend this place. This was my first time going here and I loved it“

“Found this place on yelp and was super happy with the service, pastries and coffee. Baristas were super nice and the cotton Candy burrito was amazing. 5 stars for this place. Will be back for sure.“

“The taro bingsoo was so gooooooood!“

“I love everything here! If you are looking for a dessert platter, I recommend their Ube platter.“

“Tiramisu cake was top notch! Viking cake was super rich, but still delicious. Paired with red wines and vanilla bean ice cream. Ice cream came out first, cake about 3 minutes later, but wines were delayed quite some time. Service was fairly slow, but staff were extremely friendly and obviously hard at work. Huge portions! Recommendation: a garnish or side of strawberries with the Viking cake.“

“This place is an absolute gem for a family treat! It is the perfect spot for dessert or a quick pick-me-up, and my two kids and I love coming here. They offer a fantastic variety of different cheesecakes, and every slice we have tried is incredibly light, fluffy, and perfectly sweet without being overwhelming.

I usually go for their rich and delicious brown sugar milk tea. My kids also love the boba tea options. They even have some excellent health drinks on the menu, which are a great, refreshing option for gym goers.

Beyond the fantastic menu, the service is consistently amazing. The staff is super friendly, and the place has a welcoming, relaxed vibe. Highly recommend!“

“I eat chocolate daily. I am forever searching for the chocolate desert that can satisfy my craving for something sublime. This is only the second time in my life that I have had a perfect chocolate desert. I ate an entire slice of the torte, and I enjoyed every luscious bite. The layered textures and tastes were spot on. Well worth it.“

“Best dessert hands down! Try the honey toast! And the crepes!“

“Amazing baklavas and turkish delight“

“We tried the mango and cream cannolis, mango lemonade, brulee mango and sticky rice and Ube and mango soup. the table shared everything and enjoyed it all. you can't go wrong with fresh mango.“

“The tofu pudding was incredibly smooth and silky, almost melting in my mouth. The sweet and tender red beans paired perfectly with the syrup. It wasn’t overly sweet or heavy, making it light, refreshing, and comforting to enjoy. Every time I visit, I find myself loving this dessert even more—and even after I got home, it was still just as delicious 😊“
