Somisomi - San Francisc

Love getting desert from here, the ice cream is very good.

Great flavors for the soft serve. Tried the ube flavor, which was amazing. Typically feels less sweet, which i prefer, compared to regular soft serves elsewhere. The cones are slightly on the softer side of crispy. It's made fresh on the spot. But the best part is the layer of nutella on the inside surface of the cone. And then finally free choice of toppings, including fresh strawberries and blackberries. Overall great experience. Might have to wait slightly in the queue since it gets quite crowded, and there's only a single person making cones and serving.

This place had a “coming soon” sign up for years, but unfortunately its arrival has been anticlimactic. First off, needing to order off a screen is awkward, especially as there is often not a line. The staff is perfectly nice and I’d much rather talk to them. I see how the screens could add efficiency, but it just isn’t a good experience. As for the actual food, the signature fish cones are great very different from normal cones, more cakey in texture, definitely the highlight. The froyo is ok, but I haven’t been impressed by any of the flavors, finding all three I’ve tried (two visits, plus tasting a friend’s) pretty bland. The toppings are ok but you get the tiniest dusting. They literally just sprinkle a spoonful over your cone and you get whatever sticks. Pretty disappointing. They also add a strawberry slice or mini cookie at the end. Unfortunately I chose wrong, and found the cookie to be stale and flavorless.

They have a sweet corn ice cream this season!! So had to try it. It was good! It was all a sweet corn lover could ever dream of. They took out banana milk it seems.

Did you know that the Kpop star Somi only does ads for them but isn't actually affiliated with the business :
