KO-LI shaved ice bar

The strawberry bear is one of the best things to have graced my life

Cute vibes and delicious dessert

Overpriced for what you get. Mostly artificial flavoring and syrups and not particularly unique flavors. We ordered the mango kawaii cup and the mango flavor was very artificial, no fresh fruits and we paid ~$10 for it. I've gotten completely fresh mango desserts elsewhere for a similar price.

Bad.
High price for shaved ice
Fake syrups
Bad ice cream
Not a good business in general

I love this place. Unique and different

Best shaved ice in San Diego hands down. Probably the best dessert place too. Fresh ice and fruits! Ice straight from Japan! Ice melts with ease. No brain freeze. Stays cool long enough where there is no puddle of ice at the bottom of your bowl! Will be back!

Nice desserts for a change. Place is small and crowded. Seating outside is better.

For this being my first experience, it was delicious! I want to go back for sure

Dessert Gem Alert – LOLI Bar

This place was awesome. Let’s start with the decor and ambiance — it honestly felt like I stepped into a cozy little spot in Japan. Small, cute, and authentic. The resin tables and artwork were such a nice touch. You can tell they cared about the details.

Now… the desserts.

Being our first time here, we found a new love. We tried the mango shaved ice and it blew us away. It wasn’t overly sweet — just decadent and refreshing. This wasn’t your average pile of shaved ice with syrup. It tasted like they froze actual cream and shaved that. The texture? Wow. Just 👌.

Topped with fresh mango and a surprise crunchy cereal topping — it was a 10/10 experience. 5 out of 5 easy.

We’ll definitely be back — not a one and done

Wishing we had tried more!

Good sweets

This evening we stop by to have Japanese Shaved Ice known as Kakigori. We have always wanted to try them and they are delicious. I had my eye on the Strawberry bear which has a great Strawberry Flavor. Chuck had the Chocolate parfait which had bananas and cereal. That was flavorful as well and the chocolate was delicious.

The restaurant is not big but there are two small rooms with several seating areas. We had a little laugh as we noticed that each of the table tops were decorated differently. We sat at one's with Rubber Duckies and a bear in the middle.

The service has been great and the staff are always very welcoming. We will definitely return again.

This place kids 5 Stars as not only is it delicious but the style of the animal shapes made my 3year have the happiest ice cream experience ever. Sometimes the decoration is greater than the flavor, but not here. The whole experience made our families day.

Nice place to grab some desserts. The family enjoyed their shaved ice.

The decor and set up was nice. It gave us an oldschool japanese restaurant vibe. We felt transported to Japan. We all enjoyed it.

Always love coming here when we are in San Diego. Not too many places make legit kakigori and they do it right here. Fun and delicious flavors in the cutest presentation. Customer service is always friendly and gracious. The seating area is cozy and the Japanese theme wraps it all together.

Delicious. Run by a real Japanese owner, with homemade syrup and pickled fruit.
The atmosphere is something... I feel like I'm visiting a rich Okinawa... ??
