Somisomi is an asian dessert in Palo Alto, California. It is listed at 440 University Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94301, which places it among the local businesses of Palo Alto that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by.

Bubble tea, tea houses, Asian bakeries and dessert shops in this group are usually walk-in, counter-order businesses with a menu board overhead listing sweetness and ice levels you can adjust when ordering. Standard bubble tea customization includes sugar level (0-100%), ice level, and a choice of toppings like boba pearls, pudding or jelly, usually at a small extra charge. Asian bakeries sell items individually with tongs and a tray, cafeteria-style, rather than pre-boxed, and pastries are typically less sweet than Western bakery items. Lines build up quickly after school and in the evening, especially near colleges. Most of these businesses accept cards and mobile pay and skew younger in clientele and atmosphere.

Palo Alto is in California, on the West Coast, where the climate ranges from foggy coast to hot inland valleys, wildfire season can affect air quality in late summer, and traffic is the main thing to plan around. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Palo Alto follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

Never done me wrong. I dropped my ice cream once, they took pity on me. Love this place, wish I lived closer to it. Will be coming here every day during summer. A couple topping options, and multiple ways to eat your ice cream, or even get pancake versions. They don’t accept cash though.

I love this place! It’s great to get Asian-flavored ice cream. Also their takoyakis are very good too! I like their custard takoyakis and their Oreo one. My boyfriend likes their Nutella one. The ice cream’s also really great here too. They have a good milk ice cream. I also like their cookies and cream ice cream. They also change up the pairing of their swirls ice cream, so it’s nice to drop by and see which flavors they’ve paired up for swirls this time. I also like how they make the ice cream fancy. You can get a waffle fish on top of your ice cream. Also you can add toppings like sprinkles or Oreo crumbs. And like adding a cherry on top, you can add mini macaron or a strawberry. The inside is new and clean. There’s not a lot of seating area on the inside, but it’s still pretty popular in the evenings and people just stand around on the inside or outside of the store. The service is good. I like how you order at the kiosk ordering station. They can take some time to make the takoyakis, but you can watch them make the takoyakis from behind the glass at the counter. Also since this place is so popular you sometimes have to wait for them to make your ice cream too, but I don’t m

First time trying taiyaki - and it was fabulous! Helpful, welcoming staff helped with recommendations. We tried the red bean and cheddar. Fun to watch them being made. Crispy, chewy, tasty perfection. Easy to munch on while we walked around enjoying downtown Palo Alto. So good!

This is a new location for SomiSomi. We prefer the upside down ah-bong with custard filling which comes in a cup. Usual Ah-bong sometimes becomes messy if you’re not a quick eater. The fish waffles are so cute and tasty. We took strawberry and cookie this time, it’s good. Coffee flavor was a little too strong, you’ll like it if you’re coffee lover. Flavors change weekly. This location has got a nice seating area which is yet to open. Looking forward to it.
