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.“

“Amazing Japanese-style shaved ice dessert! You can get it with or without ice cream. Ripe and flavorful fruit pieces (mangos, peach, strawberry, etc) hidden inside a smooth, lightly sweeten layer of shaved ice. Perfectly refreshing on a hot day. The shop also feels cozy, typical Japanese style. Parking can be a bit tricky in the little plaza. Better to park on Raytheon Rd to the North and walk in.“

“Delicious ice cream and best red bean paste! We can’t wait to go back!“

“This shop is surprisingly really solid. The desserts are delicious, original, and super cute. All the drinks we’ve tried have been great, specifically the smoothies and sparkling sodas. They use real fruit so the drinks taste awesome. Will definitely be returning!!“

“Crumbl Cookies never disappoints! The cookies are always fresh, soft, and packed with flavor. I love that the menu changes every week, so there’s always something new to try. The staff is friendly, the store is clean, and the presentation is top-notch. Whether you’re treating yourself or bringing a box to share with family and friends, Crumbl is always a hit. If you love warm, gourmet cookies, this place is definitely worth a visit. Five stars!“

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

“Really solid cheesecake. The passion fruit is my favorite. I would love a bit more tang and a slightly thicker texture, but it is still delicious. We took it home and dressed it with fresh berries, which made it even better. Definitely one of my go-to spots for a special-occasion dessert.“

“A pretty cool, straightforward matcha cafe in Kearny Mesa next to Brothers Mexican and Chaba Thai Kitchen. When you enter, you’re hit with the cool A/C, medium-loud contemporary music playlist, and a usually vacant interior filled with small tables. You order at the kiosks in the front right of the store next to the counter. It’s pretty much self-service matcha.

I’ve only had the matcha latte and the matcha tea. Both are really tasty, smooth, and reasonably earthy. The matcha latte is best iced with 50% sweetness and whole milk. Super refreshing without being overly sweet or masking the flavor profile of the matcha too much.

For some, the self-service aspect of this place might be a turnoff, but for me it’s kind of a nice reprieve from your typical monotonous service-worker interactions. Overall, really good matcha latte and matcha tea, a bit pricey (but that’s matcha in 2026), and pleasant atmosphere.“

“my go-to ice cream place here. It's amazing. I especially love the thai tea and cookies and cream shaved snow. The topping choice is plentiful. so delicious. also slightly cheaper compared to other options in the area. i've been going here for quite a while, and it never dissapoints. if you're in the area, you have to try it.“

“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.“

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

“The taro bingsoo was so gooooooood!“

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

“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!!!!!!“

“This place is an absolute gem for a family treat! It is the perfect spot for dessert or a quick pick-me-up, and my two kids and I love coming here. They offer a fantastic variety of different cheesecakes, and every slice we have tried is incredibly light, fluffy, and perfectly sweet without being overwhelming.

I usually go for their rich and delicious brown sugar milk tea. My kids also love the boba tea options. They even have some excellent health drinks on the menu, which are a great, refreshing option for gym goers.

Beyond the fantastic menu, the service is consistently amazing. The staff is super friendly, and the place has a welcoming, relaxed vibe. Highly recommend!“

“Amazing baklavas and turkish delight“

“Best dessert hands down! Try the honey toast! And the crepes!“

“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.“

“Great tasting Taiwanese desserts at Meet Fresh in Mira Mesa! We enjoyed a medium sized pudding & q mochi milk shaved ice which is big enough for two. They also sell boba tea. Great vibe with k-pop playing, it was quite busy on a Friday night. Recommend!“
