Shaved Ice 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!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
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’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.“

“they have the best fish tacos in town at the best price.“

“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.“

“The taro bingsoo was so gooooooood!“

“First time here. I googled Raspados near me, they were so pleasant over the phone and when I walked in I felt very welcomed! El raspado ni se diga super flavorful and as I was waiting on my order another patron walked in to order four cups of different variations from strawberries, fruits mango all too yummy. I’ll be back! Thank you“

“A 3.8 for the banana chocolate milkshake, but a 4.5 for the fast and friendly service. They only offer one size shake and I find them to be pretty small, especially for $8.25, but when you’re walking along the beach, you’re paying for the convenience. Located just north of life guard stand 23. Enjoy. Like anywhere along this boardwalk, a great spot for people watching!“

“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!🎄✨“
