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! 💕“

“Salt & Straw never fails to amaze! They have some of the most unique and weird flavor combinations you’ll ever see, but somehow every single one tastes absolutely incredible.
​The Pear & Blue Cheese is spectacular, and the Chocolate Gooey Brownie is pure perfection. If you're on the fence about trying their wilder flavors, just go for it—they nail the balance every time. Easily one of the best ice cream spots around!“

“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!“

“Judging by the front of the store I was already expecting a good ice cream shop, however what I wasn’t expecting was to fall in love. If I were to close my eyes and imagine a perfect ice cream, Salt & Straw’s Salted Malted Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough would surpass it by far. Lovely store, great staff, highly recommend.“

“Many flavors and toppings to choose from sample cups are sitting out for your convience but the real star of the show is David. Excellent customer service very kind and patient.

“Tasty Italian gelato 🍧 ice cream, not too sweet; just right!“

“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.“

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

“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“

“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.“

“Mango cheesecake was perfect for a hot summer day! Ordered a regular (+ vanilla ice cream) to share between three people. Looked huge at first. Had no problem getting to the bottom of the bowl once we started digging in.

Looking forward to trying other flavors & their taiyaki on my next visit.“

“Staff is friendly - love the rewards system and fudgy flavours! I just had the Coffee Almond Fudge and Cookies & Cream mix - mmmmm 🤤 (Forgot to take a pic until I finished... sorry haha)“

“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.“

“Shakes and good breakfast“

“My family and I love this Cold Stone! It’s easily the best location we’ve ever visited. Every time we come in, we feel genuinely welcomed, and the staff have become so friendly that they feel like friends. The ice cream is always amazing, it’s Cold Stone after all! Great customer service and great ice cream makes this a place we love coming back to. Highly recommend!“

“I placed an order for pickup and forgot about it. Got a notification from Crumbl to rate my experience lol. I was like what experience? Completely forgot. It was the next day like 3 or 4 in the afternoon so I went into the store and one of the employees remembered from the day before about somebody didn't come pick up there order. I was like yeah it was me. They made the process really quick and easy and then I was walking out the door with my order. Which was awesome. The cookies are great. Thank you.“

“Amazing sandwiches and bread!!!!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Bar None; World’s Greatest! Authentic and true to the art of artisanal gelato! Patrizia Pasqualetti is a master chef! It’s been a real treat to taste generations of knowledge passed down without compromise to the quality of the product.

I love the tiramisu, amarena, and bacio as well as the pistachio and fior di latte! To be honest I would say all flavors are delicious! For the sorbetti, unbelievably genuine flavor — it’s evident that NO artificial syrups or fake ingredients are used.

Love Love Love!!!“

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

“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.“

“Excellent food, excellent taste reasonable price“

“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.“

“Happiness in a cup. And a cone 😁“

“A must stop every time I’m in Honolulu/Waikiki now. I love there chewy texture and the lilikoi is to die for!!“

“I have a Colombian co-worker who recommended this place to me, so I knew I had to try it.. I got the Fresa con Crema and Laura got the Ensalada de Frutas. Both were decadently creamy and to die for. 10/10 highly recommend to anyone in search of delicious Colombian desserts at a reasonable price“

“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!!!“

“The best cookies I've ever had! We had a special delivery sent to us and they were still hot! The Chocolate Chip with Sea Salt? Ya, crazy good! I will definitely think of Nox to surprise someone :)“

“Cutest candy shop ever! We love coming here.“

“I’ve been coming here for almost 30 years, hands down the best yogurt in Santa Clara county, the staff is usually friendly, except one guy. The biggest downfall is that we should be able to try a couple flavors to see what we like and don’t like before purchasing, I have purchased a couple times where I ended up throwing away my $9 yogurt because it didn’t taste right to me, had I been able to sample first I would’ve known not to purchase that flavor. Please allow samples again…..at least give a limit of 2 free ones, you’re not losing money by allowing a small sample Thanks for the Carbolite options they are a life saver on my healthy lifestyle goals“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“The Korean shaved ice dessert we ordered was a delightful treat. It came generously topped with rich, creamy ice cream and allowed us to choose from an assortment of toppings that made it even more enjoyable. The portion size was impressively large, easily big enough for the three of us to share comfortably, and it felt like a fun and satisfying treat to enjoy together. While we waited about ten minutes before it was ready, the time passed quickly, and the clean and well-maintained restrooms added to the positive experience. Overall, it made for a pleasant and memorable visit.“

“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!“

“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.“
