Dessert Restaurants in San Diego, CA

“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.“

“Many people on Red Note recommended this place. So we took our two ice cream lovers to this place to have a try. It was a blast! Tried coconut sundae with vanilla, chocolate and coconut ice cream scoops first (very traditional and safe choices made by my kids, ;)), and couldn't help ordering another sundae with three other flavors, mango, thai iced tea and pandan. All flavors were yummy!!! The only thing was the parking. Limited parking space even though we arrived around the closing time. But it is easy to walk in, grab your food and go. Highly recommended!!“

“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 👍🏽👍🏽“

“An ice cream shop that also bakes their own cookies & allows you to mix & match them to make your own ice-cream sandwich. The possibilities are endless, the staff was so friendly & even offered to warm up the cookies for me which made them that much better. Next time I will get their brownie a la mode because it looked so good.
Price-wise it is fair compared to other shops in the area, $10 for a massive service of ice cream in their home made cookies, compared to other shops charging $6 for the tiniest scoop in a plastic cup. My friend suggested I come to the Baked Bear & I am so happy for it, so here I am highly recommending the Baked Bear for you to enjoy.“

“Our server was outstanding, helpful with the new menus and attentive, even though our food did take a while it was delicious when we got it, and she and the manager made sure we felt taken care of the whole time. Great location and nice, friendly and classy ambience.“

“Great place for a sweet treat. Gorgeous decor as well.“

“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“

“It was my 1st time in and Loved it!! definitely will be Back for more goodies! excellent Customer Service!!“

“Hey guys, I just turned a corner in San Diego and ran into this gelato shop and I realize this is my favorite gelato shop in all of San Diego. It’s been here since I was an student at UC San Diego in 1998 and I love this gelato shop it’s right on the corner of India Street so close to the airport And I highly recommend you guys check out this gelato shop. It’s so delicious and it’s been here for a long time for a reason because it’s literally the best gelato shop in all of San Diego. They have a new gelato shop over there in Little Italy and it’s all right, but it’s too corporate and weird and it doesn’t have this old school vibe that this one does so it’s like literally if you come to San Diego. This is really close to the airport. I would say get off and take an Uber to this gelato shop. Get your self a gelato and it’s like you enjoy the best thing of San Diego ever. I’ve been driving down India street for years looking for it and I finally found it. Yay- adding a bookmark to my favorites“

“Our first time in San Diego and we just happened to find this great place to host us as our first visit to a chocolatier. The ladies are amazing and the chocolate is great. We had the everything brownie and a Carmel apple.
We had a great time visiting with them too, which just made our day.
Definitely the place to make sure you stop in and enjoy their craftsmanship and then take a little bit to visit. It will be a core memory and possibly life changing.“

“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!“

“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.“

“We came here today after seeing a tik tok video and it was so worth it all the way from England!“

“The waffle Taco is pretty Big but is Good and there ice cream and smoothies are really Good I really recommend this place the lady she's very nice !“

“Extraordinary Desserts indeed! Love this place and their people 🥰“

“First and foremost, I truly appreciate the service I received at Hey Sugar. She was kind, knowledgeable, and I felt welcomed as I stepped through the front door. I had the delicious cake jar, and I can’t wait to try my cheesecake. The venue was cute, petite, and vibrant. Thank you for a wonderful experience! I pray your business continues to thrive. ❤️“

“Hands down the tastiest Churros in San Diego!“

“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. 🍵💚“

“I don’t usually write reviews, but these cream puffs are outstanding. Perfect texture, exciting flavors, appealing presentation, and so fresh. The owner was very friendly and helpful. It’s worth the extra step of ordering ahead. If you’re intending to share make sure you order enough! I’ll definitely be back.“

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

“I recently visited Boba Spot in San Diego, and it was an amazing experience! The boba was perfectly chewy, and the drinks were refreshing and full of flavor. I tried the classic milk tea and a fruit tea, and both were delicious. The sweetness level was just right, and I loved that they let you customize it.“

“The Passionfruit Tart, Chocolate Marquise, Banana Butterscotch and Pistachio Strawberry were all beautiful and delicious. I would definitely repeat them, but I also have a Bucket List a mile long.

If you are looking for a Gourmet Dessert, this place nails it. This was my first time trying their desserts. I had them delivered and they arrived in great shape.

If I was forced to choose a favorite, the Passionfruit Tart might win. But the Chocolate Marquise has chocolate mousse with a chocolate ganache. Swoon. I think it's by Clement. His have a special look. The Passionfruit Tart had a chocolate crust and Passionfruit Curd filling. I am always crazy about a tropical flavor like that.

Everything was so beautiful, you can't help but feel happier just looking at them. It's always nice when they taste as good as they look.

And now, I have tried them a second time and found some new favorites. The Chocolate Hazelnut was incredible! I also loved the chocolate strawberry heart. These beautiful, delicious desserts have made my day... twice. 🥰“

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

“A big shout out to Elegant desserts!! They gave us a delicious treat for free at San Diego Airport and we loved it ��“

“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“

“Tiramisu cake was top notch! Viking cake was super rich, but still delicious. Paired with red wines and vanilla bean ice cream. Ice cream came out first, cake about 3 minutes later, but wines were delayed quite some time. Service was fairly slow, but staff were extremely friendly and obviously hard at work. Huge portions! Recommendation: a garnish or side of strawberries with the Viking 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.“

“Delicious ice cream with great flavors.“

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

“Yummay cookies 🥰🍪🥰 Looking foward to having this in the future 🥰“

“The gelato & macrons are amazing — eager to return for the chocolate mousse cake!!“

“My best friend graduated from Point Loma Nazarene University today and I was unable to attend the ceremony due to a medical emergency in our family. Crumbl Point Loma made a dozen mini cookies for my bestie, DoorDash delivered to the Hyatt Regency Mission Bay resort and I got to surprise her with a yummy treat to share with her family. I wasn’t the same as being there, I’d have loved to deliver them myself and celebrate with her, but thank you Crumbl for delivering her some love from me. The app was easy to order my deliverable treats and my Dasher was pleasant to interact with. The front desk folks at the Hyatt were awesome about it too. I’d recommend working with all of them!“

“Amazing baklavas and turkish delight“

“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.“

“Extraordinary Desserts indeed! Love this place and their people 🥰“

“A room full of decadent, delicious chocolate. What more could you want?! 😋🍫🫕💝“

“This place is amazing! High quality ingredients, extremely warm and welcoming staff, family-owned, and incredible desserts. We got the churro sundae (with fresh churros made to order), Dubai chocolate strawberry cup (great quality chocolate and super fresh strawberries), and an Oreo caramel apple. Everything was soooooo good, even the soft serve tasted better than any soft serve I’ve had before. I’m going back today to try more confections before heading to the airport. 10/10 choice if you’re looking for a sweet treat in SD.“

“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!🎄✨“
