“it's the best ice cream i have ever had. evan the flavers they have had that doesent sound like it would be good .. is real good. and they give you samples if you want to try a flavor before you buy it.“

“A fantastic endearing Ice-cream tasting & eating experience that causes you to marvel at the stature that Ice-cream making has come to acquire can indeed be felt on the palate with every Icecream flavor at PINTS OF JOY. The service with Smiles & Excitement & warmth of the Servers caught my attention. It made the experience all the more endearing. I tried many & loved the Jalebi with Malai Kulfi Ice-cream. A remarkable unique Indian Ice-cream. As an Indian American I feel immensely proud to see the popularity this Ice-cream has come to acquire in the heart of Silicon Valley! This Ice-cream venture is showcasing India Impressively internationally: tickling the taste buds!“

“This is our go to spot when we are in town for an amazing ice cream I would recommend this place to everyone if you’re with the family , traveling by yourself or taking someone special . The staff is great it’s always clean and the service is wonderful! Just a great all around pick for a delicious dessert spot !🍨“

“Never done me wrong. I dropped my ice cream once, they took pity on me. Love this place, wish I lived closer to it. Will be coming here every day during summer. A couple topping options, and multiple ways to eat your ice cream, or even get pancake versions.

They don’t accept cash though.“

“Great unique olive oil flavour. Mismatch of scoop to empty cone size though. For me, this detracted from eating the last 1/3. The value of this place is on par with other ice creameries. Selection of flavours is decent! I tried a few and honestly, this was the only one that stood out to me.“

“The gelato was really good.
The pistachio is probably the best one I’ve tried in the US so far.
Staff could be a bit friendlier and more disciplined or proactive at cleaning up (the trash can for clients was full and the staff did not want to throw away herself our two empty cups). I still gave it a 5 stars cause really really liked the gelato. Almost same as some I had in Italy.“

“Wow! I am really impressed by the gelato here. I popped by on a whim and I’m honestly blown away by how clean their gelato tastes. Their gelato isn’t heavily flavored or give off that icky artificial sweet after taste, so if you’re used to baskin robbins this place is not for you. However, if you are (a) looking for a sweet treat that doesn’t make you feel guilty or crummy afterwards or (b) Asian (“not too sweet” is our ultimate compliment after all) then run don’t walk!! I tried their chestnut flavor and their ube flavor. The ube was just right with a light ube taste, toasted coconut, and a hint of vanilla. The gelato was not a ghastly fake purple color. I’ve never been able to finish a whole cone of ice cream/gelato before because it always ends up overwhelmingly sweet, but the gelato here was just too good! I’m going to recommend this spot to all my friends.“

“Among all of us we had the Rose, Kulfi, vanilla, strawberry, chocolate, and also the puppy icecream. All the flavors were really nice and you could see real vanilla bean powder, nuts in the different flavors. Pepper did not stop licking till her icecream was done and then was looking for more. The people behind the counter were very friendly and kind to our chaos. We will definitely be going back.“

“🤍🤍🤍 so goooood! It’s the best desert place ever. Wish we had closer locations to home but this will do.“

“Shakes and good breakfast“

“Love their flavors and their ice cream isn’t overly sweet. Just the right amount where you can still taste the actual flavor and not just the sugar. Very creamy and all around delicious!“

“The best yogurt 🍦, at woodside Rd“

“Loved this first experience of Takiyaki. We had, red bean, blackbean sesame and Nutella. All were delicious. Many customers were walking out with the variants of the waffle like cones with soft serve, and toppings. Parking was available. And we enjoyed sitting the sun right there. Saturday schedule 😋 The recycle, trash and compost bins right there as well.“

“son muy ricos los helados 😋“

“I saw a worker from another place come back from break holding a churro. I had to ask where, this shop was two doors down. First I ordered the churro and then I saw the fun ice cream varieties. Settled on a refreshing soursop, it had seeds! My friend got a dried fruit and he said that grew on him. There are many other flavors to try next time. Service was nice, there are a couple of tables to sit and eat other snacks that they make as well. PS the churros were OK, crispy and sweet but the middle was not as crispy as fresh out of a fry vat in Mexico.“

“Lovely owner and delicious frozen yogurt with probiotics :)“

“Great place good ice-creams Many ice creams choices“

“Huge line on a Saturday…looked intimidating but it isn’t too bad. It’s a slightly confusing process and there’s no staff to explain everything

1. You wait in line to order at the kiosk. While you can order online as well, that’s only for drinks. So you’re stuck waiting if you want gelato. I recommend ordering online if you only want a drink

2. If you ordered gelato on the kiosk, you proceed to wait in another line that’s usually much shorter. They will verify that you ordered gelato on the kiosk. You can try flavors here as well.

3. If you ordered a drink, it will probably take another 10-15 minutes of waiting inside before they call your number. So eat your gelato!

The matcha ice cream was good. No. 3 had a strong tea flavor that wasn’t overpowering. We paired it with hojicha, which was a nice combo.

The White Matcha Champaca drink was excellent. Beautifully blended Jasmine and matcha flavor, with just the right amount of sweetness.“

“Muy rico, me encanto todo lo k compre pero especialmente las fresas con crema,“

“Absolutely fantastic experience at UME! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure everything was perfect throughout my visit. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, you can really tell they care about quality and detail. Whether you’re looking for a casual meal or something special, UME is a place I’d highly recommend. I’m already looking forward to coming back!“

“The staff here is always friendly and helpful. They always find a way to accommodate a request even if it is last minute. For example they took care of me on Saturday when I needed a cake for my son's birthday party on Sunday without any complaints even though I was the one asking late. At the Santa Cruze Ave location in Menlo Park I was told that all I could so was choose from what was in the display fridge. Props to Carlos at the EPA location who even gave me his personal cell to make sure everything was seamless! And the cake was super yummy as well!!!“

“I recently visited this place and had an amazing experience! I ordered the Tostitos con elotes and it was incredibly delicious. The service was top-notch and the ladies at the counter were super friendly. I'll definitely be back for more!“

“I had the pleasure of visiting this ice cream shop recently and I must say, it was an experience worth sharing. The variety of flavors was impressive, each one seeming more tempting than the last. I finally settled for their signature as the employee gave me a sample of a scoop of their signature flavor and it was absolutely delightfulBut what truly set this visit apart was the exceptional customer service. A young employee went above and beyond to ensure my experience Their enthusiasm was infectious, and recommendations were spot on.Overall 10/10!I recommend UBE and Biscoff“

“Ran in for a milkshake and was in and out quickly. Girl was alone and doing a great job. As always, great ice cream!“

“I absolutely love this place! my go to is the Oreo milkshake with a chocolate/banana crepe on the side.. everyone is always so kind as soon as you walk through the door :) Would recommend this place to anyone who’s looking for a sweet delicious snack near Menlo Park. The best thing is that they have two locations!“

“Came here on a weekend with friends and really enjoyed it. Sulbing does authentic Korean snow ice with super fine, milky ice that melts in your mouth—sweet but not heavy. Works great as dessert any time of year.

Green Tea Chocolate Sulbing was a highlight. The matcha is more bitter and fragrant (not overly sweet), paired with chocolate cake and milk ice—very balanced and easy to keep eating.
Strawberry Yogurt Chocoballs Sulbing was refreshing, with a nice sweet-tart yogurt flavor and crunchy chocolate balls for texture.
Dubai Nougat Crunch Ball was a fun surprise—crispy chocolate shell with pistachio cream and crunchy bits inside. Sweetness was well balanced with the snow ice.

We also tried some toasts. Mozzarella Injeolmi Toast is a must when hot—nutty soybean powder, chewy mochi inside, and stretchy mozzarella. Sweet and savory combo works really well. Honey Butter Bread was simple but comforting, best eaten warm.

Overall, great place to share a few shaved ice and toasts with friends. If you like light, fluffy snow ice, Sulbing is a solid choice.“

“I stopped by Yummy Yogurts and had such a good experience! The staff was friendly and patient while I decided what to get. I definitely recommend this place if you’re craving something sweet and refreshing. I’ll be coming back for sure!💗🍦“

“This is my favorite type of Ice cream, the flavors are so different from a regular ice cream shop, and they don’t make me feel sick like other heavy ice creams do.

My daughter loved the lemon gelato, it was just like a frozen lemonade. My personal favorite is the dark chocolate gelato. Nothing out there like it.

I was also so happy with the service today, I came in at around 3:15pm on a Tuesday, I don’t normally come out on weekdays but they were so kind and had such a lovely attitude. Especially the gentleman, he was exactly what I expect when I go to a place with desserts, someone bubbly and happy to be there. Although I’ve been here many times before, today he made it extra fun to be here.“

“She is now located in front of Tere’s Boutique near the Chavez Supermarket by Middlefield Road.I love her raspados so much! I used to get them after church growing up. Her recipes are delicious and traditional. My favorite one is the raspado de Guanábana (soursop). It’s perfectly sweet and the pieces of fruit are delicious. I have also tried and liked her limon, rompope, vainilla, coco, nuez, mango con chile and chicle flavors.I recommend also trying their tostilocos with everything plus extra hot sauce. They are super delicious and a very generous size. Her fruit cups are also really good. The fruit is always perfectly ripe and fresh.Definitely recommend when you’re in Redwood City. All her antojitos are delicious, fresh and never overpriced. Great value, taste and quality.“

“Amazing sandwiches and bread!!!!“

“WE HAVE THE BEST FOOD AND SHAKES ON FREAKING PLANET EARTH AT OUR REXBURG LOCATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT IS TOTALLY BOMB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Best management ever best co workers ever and just point blank the best Iceberg location in the company!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love working here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I never dread coming to work!!!!!!!!!!! It is so much fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 10/10“

“Love the drive-thru! My favorite bc that’s special!“

“Wildberry Yogurt in Sharon Heights is the best yogurt spot in the Bay Area! Always lots of flavors and lots of yummy toppings to choose from. The fruit is always quite fresh too. The store is very clean and the staff is very friendly and gracious, very rare these days!“

“That good place ion customer service nice“

“This store has become an essential weekly destination for my family. We are consistently met with warm welcomes upon each visit, creating an environment where happiness is infused alongside the indulgence of delightful ice cream. Regardless of the weather conditions—be it cold, hot, windy, rainy, or any other day—we find solace in this place. Its exceptional appeal compels me to wholeheartedly recommend it to others.“

“Lots of unique flavors. It’s so good.“

“The best Sandwich in 100 miles! Been coming here ever since it opened and will continue to eat delicious sandwiches for years to come. NOM NOM NOM.“

“Pretty decently good froyo- what you’d expect. Not self-serve, not many flavor options. But what’s there are good options in my opinion. I got pomegranate and original (I was asked if I wanted them in a swirl or separate) with mochi toppings. The mochi topping was good quality- soft and squishy, not hardened like some other places. I have come here a few times before over the years and you can expect the quality standards to be the same every time. Dependable good froyo place.
Tiny space with some seating options outside.“

“it's the best ice cream i have ever had. evan the flavers they have had that doesent sound like it would be good .. is real good. and they give you samples if you want to try a flavor before you buy it.“

“One of the best ice cream experiences I’ve had! The chocolate ice cream at CREAM is on another level—rich, creamy, and full of intense flavor that hits just right. You can tell they don’t cut corners on quality. The texture is smooth and satisfying, and every bite tastes like pure chocolate bliss. Staff was super friendly and the whole vibe of the shop made it feel like a treat in every sense. If you’re a chocolate lover, this place is a must-visit!“

“It taste good“

“Must try🍨
Hot fudge sundae
2 scoops :
Tahitian vanilla
Chocolate covered strawberries ( fav)

You can ask them to add warmed up brownie!!

They do have a punch card!!“

“We literally take every single visitor from out of town, to this place! Our guests can go see the Golden Gate Bridge on their own, they can take in the whole of the city, but the one thing we insist on doing with them, is a visit to "the best ice cream anywhere."“

“Even with my limited Spanish the ladies were very nice and helped me order a delicious fresh made agua Fresca. They used actual blended mango rather than just powder and it was just the right amount of sweetness. Clean nice place and super reasonably priced go support!“

“Yummy in the tummy !! ;) <3“

“Excellent food, excellent taste reasonable price“

“unique way of making ice cream. Never seen before. very yummy“
