Dessert Restaurants near Poway, CA

“peanut butter - best I've ever had. what is it????“

“It is a great group meeting to support and encourage business growth in the area.“

“Staff is so friendly and had great suggestions. All of the syrups are house made and delicious. We shared the mango and matcha between 3 people which was the perfect size. The mango was so fresh and the matcha had some of the best red bean I've ever had. Highly recommend!“

“They were very polite and answered all of our questions. The ice cream is light not heavy and absolutely delicious. The cones are sweet and shaped like a fish, which was such a fun touch. I ordered the matcha and banana pudding swirl in a cone with Fruity Pebbles as the topping. The banana pudding wasn’t overpowering at all it was refreshing, light, and incredibly tasty.

I had the ube cookie and cream swirl in a cone with fruity pebbles last time and both are delicious. You can't go wrong with what you try.“

“We came here because we wanted to try something new, we got some Basque cheesecake, milk tea boba, and unique mousse flavors. 5 of us shared everything and we still had leftovers, then my son won at the claw machines ^_^ it was the perfect sweet spot for after dinner 👍🏽👍🏽“

“The cookies are hit or miss most of the time. However, the staff here is always ( well almost) so friendly and kind. I don’t visit as much as I’d like because it’s cost prohibitive. And well id most likely gain too much weight if I enjoyed these more often.“

“Somisomi is a great spot in a busy Mira Mesa strip mall, known for its smooth soft serve and warm, chewy taiyaki (fish-shaped waffle).

We spent $15 for five flavor-filled taiyaki (Nutella, custard, and sesame) and a cup of their beautiful purple and green ube/matcha soft serve. The taiyaki had a thin, crisp outer crunch and moist inner dough, while the tall swirl of soft serve was smooth and creamy.

The service is friendly and efficient, and they keep the line moving. Note that while there's plenty of free parking, the entire mall is very popular and often busy.

A highly recommended, semi-sweet treat for family and friends!“

“I'm retired but I like it more than others because the service here is fast and they always have cookies available

Parking: I think it's okay except that there are more businesses and a restaurant on one side and it takes longer but it is very big“

“My favorite place to get caneles! The original and chocolate flavors are both really good. I tend to get a basque cheesecake too! Sooo good and lots of great flavors to choose from. Love stopping here for a sweet treat on my way home from work. The owner is always so sweet and welcoming too!“

“My mom was visiting San Diego with my neither and brought home a box. This backlava is delicious!!!! El Paso, TX approved!!!“

“Tons of variety and priced right; delicious 👍“

“This was my first time having rolled ice cream. It was really flavorful. I got the strawberry with cheesecake bites.“

“My family and I visited over the holiday, and we truly enjoyed our lunch. Thank you so much for being so kind and gracious to us Regina!!!

We really enjoyed the hot meals, the durian Rolls, Sweet black sesame dessert soup, the pork belly over rice, and drinks. This is definitely a must-try, kid-friendly spot with great indoor seating.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
If you’re a matcha lover, Matcha Cafe Maiko is a must-visit! The quality of the matcha here is outstanding — rich, earthy, and perfectly balanced without being too bitter. Their soft serve and parfaits are beautifully layered and full of authentic flavor. You can really taste that they use premium Uji matcha from Japan.

The café has a calm and cozy vibe, perfect for enjoying your drink or dessert while relaxing. The presentation is always picture-perfect, and the staff are friendly and patient, even when there’s a long line (which there usually is — it’s that good!).

If you’re new, try the matcha float or the signature parfait — both are amazing! A true gem for anyone who appreciates real, high-quality matcha. 🍵💚“

“very nice staff very delicious 😋 pleasant area sitting outside and beautiful are comfortable“

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

“I’ve been here many many years ago and thought the place was good but not amazing but I recently visited again and tried the matcha affogato. It is AMAZING! It came with a waffle piece, mochi, and almond jelly and luckily I was able to swap the almond jelly for lychee instead. They give you a bit of hot matcha on the side for you to pour yourself into the shaved sweet milk. The matcha itself tastes authentic but the only downside is that adding too much of the hot matcha at once melts everything faster than I would’ve loved but it’s still great! There’s many flavors, shaved ice, and soft serve ice cream that I’d definitely want to try when I go back.“

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

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

“You know vacation time you always crave special and that's what I got to experience... The Mad For Cheesecake was so delightful. They have special varieties that you can pick and choose any and would be delighted. I experienced the matcha roll cake omg ..I just couldn't stop eating... the creme filling was smooth and very tasty. I had tried at least 5-6 varieties of cakes and was so happy that it was there in the party menu as well... by end of the party there was none left... it was so yummy... The strawberry boba tea became my kiddo's absolute favourite. I would highly suggest the place. The staff is patient and helpful.“

“The taro bingsoo was so gooooooood!“

“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.“

“Amazing baklavas and turkish delight“

“Staff is friendly and desserts r excellent! I will be back“

“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.“

“On this Christmas Eve, sharing the Q mochi pudding shaved ice with my family was absolutely wonderful. The texture was soft and chewy, the flavors were perfectly balanced, and it made the holiday moment even sweeter. Such a great dessert to enjoy together!🎄✨“
