Cannolis

“I've been a patron of Romolo’s for quite some time now. Their cannolis are some of the best in the entire Bay Area, even surpassing some I've tried in Italy. The key aspect is that they prepare your order in front of you, which sets their establishment apart as one of the best. Unlike most places that have their cannolis pre-filled and waiting for customers, at Romolo’s, the shell never gets soggy. On your first bite, you experience a satisfying crunch, which is crucial. The ricotta filling, if you opt for the classic, is light, airy, and creamy, just as it should be.“

Custom Cake

“It was our first time ordering from Simple Delights and we are very happy we chose you. My daughter's birthday cake was perfect in all ways, the cake and frosting was very delicious and the right amount of sweetness. We had chosen the Vanilla Chiffon cake with Vanilla Swiss Meringue Buttercream and everyone had very good opinion about the cake. Thank you Jessica for your timely responses to all my email communications and taking into account all my suggestions and making us the perfect birthday cake.“

“These 5 stars go directly to Trang, would have been 2 if it wasn't for her! My family and I decided to pop in for a snack after dinner and it was packed. I noticed it was only Trang holding it down, and I mean she was killin it! Unfazed and poised, she was taking whatever was thrown at her and kept customers happy. I'm not sure exactly what happened here but this definitely shouldn't have happened. It was an extremely stressful situation, even for us customers. I along with other customers were talking about it and was hoping we could have helped somehow. Not sure if the manager or owner knew about this but if I was in their shoes, I would've stepped in to help, Valentine's Day or not! Trang crushed it. Give her a darn raise or promotion!“

“I can't believe I haven't yet left a review for Icicles! My favorite here is their Bravocado that is made with fresh avocado; I think about it from time to time! If they're out of avocado, my next goto is the Mai Thai / Thai tea flavor. Given each order comes with many rolls, my hubby and I always share an order between the two of us. The staff is delightful here. It's a local business I gladly support!“

Jolly's Ice Cream Shop •
81 37th Ave, San Mateo

“We came upon this really cute food truck for ice cream when we were down at the bay and the ice cream was really good! A little pricey, but so worth it. The lavender tea is strong and bold but still really good. and the rose pistachio is amazing! The ice creams are rich and creamy. The mini scoop is a little small compared to American standard.The great thing about it is that it wasn’t too sweet. The service was good. Definitely will return.“

“We went to this place on Friday evening and there were a few people. The service was quick. We ordered Vanilla Custard and Blackberry Guava Swirl..The blackberry guava soft serve was very good. Guava flavour was subtle and refreshing. The vanilla Custard had kinda slimy texture but was not disappointing. We will surely go back to taste some of their other flavors.The soft serves are kinda pricey and portion size are huge..I wish they also had options for a smaller size soft serve.“

Concierge | Hillsdale Shopping Center Ice Cream •
358 E Sailer Dr, San Mateo

“The Food Court at Hillsdale Mall is great! What makes it so great is that they have a wide variety of food options there! So many food/desserts goodies to choose from, which consist of great prices and plate sizes! I'm usually there on Fridays, This is like home to me I don't mind driving 25 mins here to fill my belly at one spot. I always grab my boba first at Sharetea before dinner, but that's just me! My top 3 go-to spots are Winner Winner, which they're known for their chicken, Kuro-Obi for their delicious ramen, and Shake Shack where you can get a juicy burger. I highly recommend you trying out the food court over at Hillsdale Mall, to satisfy your belly!“

Humphry Slocombe Bay Meadows Ice Cream Shop •
3081 S Delaware St B, San Mateo

“Dropping off my kids friend at Bay Meadows and saw an open parking spot - decided to park and get the boys ice cream - there wasn't a line as it was a weekday at 3:30pm which was nice - specific flavors are unnecessary becasue any that we've tried have all been great, even the vanilla, which my son often gets. The scoops are a good size and the ice cream tastes fresh, no freezer flavor, so the turnaround on the ice cream must be pretty good - either they dump it or sell it all - at these prices it is a relief - not cheap but worth every penny for unusual flavors and good quality - almost makes us not miss Tin Pot that was here before. Sorry that no one could wait for a pic before taking a bite - but yeah, it is that yummy!“
