About SomiSomi

SomiSomi is a popular soft serve ice cream chain that offers a unique and delightful dining experience. Known for their exceptional soft serve flavors, the standout item on the menu is the taiyaki, a fish-shaped waffle cone with cheddar cheese filling that customers describe as the "BOMB." Customers say it reminds them of Eggettes, a favorite treat in the Bay Area.

The ice cream itself is praised for its creamy and smooth texture, with a perfect balance of sweetness. Customers can choose from a variety of rotating flavor options, including the beloved matcha flavor with Nutella filling, salted caramel/Oreo swirl, and ube. Matcha and banana milk soft serve with matcha powder and a macaroon is also a favorite. Taiyakis can be filled with Nutella or black sesame, and the strawberry milk is not overly sweet. The waffle cones are freshly made, and the amount of Nutella spread inside is just right, providing a delightful contrast to the soft serve. Toppings like Biscoff, Oreo crumbles, and strawberry add extra fun. The upside down ice cream with pistachio, burnt coconut, and custard is perfect and not too sweet.

While the lack of seating may be a drawback for some, the quick and efficient service ensures a pleasant experience. The service is friendly, the owner is friendly and patient, and the environment is clean and well-decorated for holidays. The new cups are super cute, making SomiSomi a must-try destination for ice cream enthusiasts.
