“Came on a busy weekend night. Anisha helped me out and was super friendly. She recommended the flavors COFFEE AND LOVENUTS (CAL) and SALTED MALTED CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE DOUGH.

CAL: especially good. The chocolate coated pecans adds a nice crunch and the coffee ice cream isn't too overpowering.

SEA SALT WITH CARAMEL RIBBONS: was good but a bit too salty for my taste.

Store is very busy on weekends, so I suggest coming earlier in the day or come on weekdays“

“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!“

“Yummy cookies. Thank you!“

“I tried the mango yogurt drink at UMe Tea in Fremont and it was so good!🥭🧋 The yogurt was creamy, refreshing, and had a really nice fruity flavor without being too heavy.. I especially loved the texture and the toppings—it made the drink extra fun.

The Fremont location is also really cute, and the staff were friendly and the service was quick. Definitely a great spot when you’re craving something refreshing and different from regular milk tea. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more of their yogurt drinks! 💕“

“The best yogurt 🍦, at woodside Rd“

“I often visit this spot as a sweet treat after a long day and it’s the best feeling. Their froyo has a really strong yogurt taste, and I recommend adding the baklava and honey for sweetness and depth. Their baklava is good by itself too. Servers ate very nice and polite. Highly recommend!“

“I have some feedback about the operation: I purchased my gelato through Classpass and went to the shop, only to find the staff was busing loading their catering cart across the street. I had to stand in front of the shop and wait like 20+ minutes without help. Wonder if such thing could be avoided in the future… don’t get me wrong, I love this place, which is why I spent time writing this review to let the owner know where to improve :)“

“I did not expect walking into a gelato shop and having such an amazing experience. They had sandwiches so we decided to grab some before having gelato. We got the mafioso and calabrese sandwiches. The staff were nice enough to let us try a variety of their gelato, all super tasty. I’ll definitely be going back to try more of their sandwiches and gelato.“

“i love this place! the flavor options are great and authentic. i had ube ahboong and it was delish. the taiyaki was also really good! it comes with a free macaron cookie and more toppings, pretty good deal for $7 imo! also service was very quick. hopefully i’ll be back!“

“Amazing sandwiches and bread!!!!“

“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!“

“Absolutely exceptional A2 ghee! The texture and flavor are incredibly authentic, reminiscent of traditional, high-quality ghee back home in India. My parents were visiting from India, and my dad, who is notoriously tough to please when it comes to ghee, absolutely loved it. That speaks volumes about the quality and purity of their products. If you are looking for genuine, rich flavor, this is the place to get it.“

“Somisomi is a dessert shop that focuses on the combination of freshly made taiyaki and soft serve, creating a dessert experience that feels both nostalgic and modern. The concept is simple but works well: warm fish-shaped waffle cones filled with different flavors paired with creamy soft serve and toppings. The space is casual and easygoing, making it a fun stop for a quick dessert rather than a place you would spend a long time sitting.

The taiyaki is the main highlight and gives the desserts their signature appeal. The outside has a light crispness while the inside stays soft, creating a nice contrast with the cold soft serve. The fillings offer a good mix of classic and creative options, with red bean, custard, black sesame, and Nutella being some of the popular choices. The red bean keeps things traditional with a mild sweetness, while the black sesame adds a nuttier flavor that pairs especially well with the waffle texture. Nutella works well if you prefer something richer and more dessert-like.

The soft serve is what brings everything together, with flavors like matcha and ube standing out. The matcha has a noticeable tea flavor without becoming too intense, and the ube adds a sweeter, more dessert-focused option. Adding toppings like cookies or cereal gives the dessert extra texture and makes each order feel more customizable. The combination of warm taiyaki, cold soft serve, and different fillings is what makes Somisomi different from a typical ice cream stop.

Service is usually quick, which fits the style of the shop since most people come in for a treat on the go. The menu is straightforward, but there are enough combinations to make repeat visits interesting. Overall, Somisomi is a fun dessert spot that does a great job with a simple concept, especially if you enjoy Asian-inspired desserts and want something that balances warm, crispy, creamy, and sweet in one order.“

“Shakes and good breakfast“

“All of their ice cream flavors are amazing. Super creamy; if you get the matcha ice cream, you get the slight bitterness from the more pungent matcha ice cream, which I liked. But there’s a sweeter/more mild version too that’s also delicious“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“They offer a great selection of gelato and ice cream, and the flavors are spot on—just the way I like them. There’s ample indoor and outdoor seating, making it a nice place to relax while enjoying a sweet treat. The server was friendly and funny, which made the visit even more enjoyable“

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

“staff are really nice here & they scoop generously. the waffle bowl i had was basically a whole meal, overall one of the better baskin robbins i’ve visited. this location is combined with a togo’s which is interesting but probably shared company stuff“

“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.“

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

“son muy ricos los helados 😋“

“If you’re a coconut person like me, this place is non-negotiable. Every single flavor delivers; rich, fresh, genuinely craveable. I’ve been slowly working my way through the menu and haven’t hit a miss yet. The staff are helpful and friendly. Can’t wait to come back and taste the rest!“

“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!“

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

“Guanato’s Snacks is a small Mexican drinks and snacks spot in Redwood City. We had a bit of communication issue at first, but it’s ok, I just showed them photos and they got it right away.
I ordered a mangonada and it was really yummy. It comes with mango ice cream, chamoy sauce, fresh mango on top and a tamarindo stick. Tasted sweet and sour and spicy at the same time but very addictive and super yummy. I really like the ice cream flavor.
However, you gotta wait like 30 mins for the ice cream to melt a bit so you can mix everything together. Kinda long wait but worth it. After mixing, it taste way better and more balanced. Overall I like it, simple place but good treats.“

“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.“

“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“

“After taking my first bite I understood why and how they had so many awards. The flavors are so amazing it was so hard to stick to a regular portion size. I ordered two flavors: rose and mango sorbet and my dad ordered the Mocha (I think?). I can’t wait to go back and try them all !“

“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.“

“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!“

“Excellent food, excellent taste reasonable price“

“I came in right before closing and the woman working still took her time to help me without rushing at all. She was patient, professional, and made sure everything was taken care of. Even though it was closing time, her service was awesome and she had such a positive attitude. Really appreciate the great customer service! Glad yumi came back to rwc!“

“It taste good“

“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!“

“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."“

“We catered cream for our rehearsal dinner. Everyone loved it and it was incredibly easy to book them and work together. We were able to pick 4 cookie flavors, 3 ice cream flavors, and buy special cookies for our vegan / gluten free guests. Definitely would recommend to anyone considering!“

“Very sigma ice cream store, the person who asks you what flavor for ice cream, then scoops the ice cream, then gives you the ice cream, then mans the cashier was nice. I think the small size is top large, I bet only the ultimate big back could finish it.“

“That good place ion customer service nice“

“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.“

“Yummy in the tummy !! ;) <3“
