Shaved Ice Restaurants in San Diego, CA

“This is a small cozy dessert place that has Japanese shaved ice with ice cream in it. They’re known for their polar bear design and a small cup of strawberry syrup that you can pour over. This was very good, simple, and refreshing we will be visiting again.“

“On our way to doctors appointment almost missed it
We did a U-turn to check it out and we were not disappointed. Our Coffee and Mexican chocolate were delicious and Joy was a friendly fast Our chocolate croissant was fresh and delicious.
Will definitely go back whenever we’re in the area!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
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. 🍵💚“

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

“This spot is a Convoy St. favorite! I’ve tried their shaved snow and ube mochi waffle creation — both were delicious. The ube soft serve was particularly tasty and my group’s favorite.
The staff are friendly and prepare the desserts fresh and in front of you, which is a joy to see.“

“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.“

“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“

“Shaved ice… everything!! Delicious“

“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!“

“My go to for drinks and desserts in the area. It’s nice that you can order on the kiosk, and get a notification on your phone when the order is ready. Space is bright and clean. Everything they serve from the food to the drinks is refreshing and not too sweet.“
