Sunday Ice Cream – A Must-Visit Dessert Spot in Kearny Mesa
Tucked inside the bustling Seoul Plaza, Sunday Ice Cream stands out as one of the best dessert stops in the Convoy area, especially after a hearty Korean meal nearby. Though the storefront isn’t large, the shop draws a crowd during weekend peak hours—and for good reason.
The interior is decorated with warm, cozy vibes and artistic flair—from charming wall and window art, Polaroid photos, and logo T-shirts, to a restroom that somehow feels like home. The atmosphere alone makes it worth visiting.
As for the ice cream, the quality of ingredients is clearly top-tier. Classic flavors like vanilla, chocolate, and matcha are creamy and smooth, but the ube (taro) is a true standout—rich in aroma and silky in texture. The Strawberry Milk flavor is equally impressive, striking a perfect balance between fruity and creamy. For something playful, try the Hello Panda flavor, which mixes crunchy Hello Panda biscuits and chocolate chunks for added texture and sweetness.
The staff is friendly and patient, happily offering multiple samples to help you choose. On my visit, I was even given two generous scoops for the price of a single split. A crispy waffle biscuit comes with each bowl, and free condensed milk and sugar toppings are available for that extra touch of indulgence.
Parking can be tricky during peak hours, but a garage and ample street parking behind the plaza make it manageable.
Avoid coming late at night since the toppings and cookies might be out of stock.
Sunday Ice Cream is a gem—perfect for cooling down after a savory meal nearby or just treating yourself to a sweet escape. A must-try in the Convoy neighborhood!
