Top 5 Most Popular Dessert Places in San Diego, California

This list is based on prior customer reviews.

5. MNGO Café

They specialize in mango-inspired desserts. You will adore their plate of desserts. The mango gets cut to perfection, and it is ever-ripe with a soft texture. Plus, they top it off with condensed milk. There are many varieties to choose from, including crème brulee, mango sticky rice, drinks, and kakigori.

4. Bobo Bar and Desserts

This restaurant never disappoints. It is clean and has a friendly staff who are quick to serve, and even when crowded, the wait won’t take long. They offer differently flavored ice creams, and I recommend trying the strawberry cheesecake. It is a soft-serve for vanilla, and the strawberries are fresh. The boba tea is another amazing option, and the egg waffles will surprise you.

3. Hui Lau Shan

A hot day can only be saved by enjoying the mango desserts at Hui Lau Shan. You choose either the drinks or the bowl, but they are the same. They have the best mango mochi, crystal jelly, chewy mango ball, and pomelo options. There are so many goodies to try!

2. Up2You Café

The brick toast sets this restaurant apart, and you get to customize the toppings as you desire or order from the premade list. Their prices are fair for their quality items, and everyone’s taste gets considered on the menu. They offer plenty of outdoor and indoor seating, and the freshly made and hot desserts will make you a regular.

1. SomiSomi

They offer plenty of good varieties along with delicious toppings. SomiSomi often has a huge line, but it moves fast. Their ice cream comes with chewy, fresh and delightful taiyaki covered with Nutella. Their flavors periodically change, but you can never run out of options on any day.
