Sunday Ice Cream
Inside Sunday Ice Cream
Sunday Ice Cream is a small but lively spot nestled in the heart of San Diego’s Convoy neighborhood, right inside Seoul Plaza. If you’ve just finished a Korean meal nearby or are looking for something cool and satisfying on a warm afternoon, this place fits the bill. It’s not a large storefront—more of an intimate ice cream nook—but it quickly fills up on weekends, especially in the early to mid-afternoon.
The atmosphere leans cozy and welcoming rather than flashy, with warm tones and a casual vibe that feels comfortable for families and groups of friends alike. While the interior isn’t extravagant, it has an artistic touch and feels inviting enough to linger a bit while you enjoy your scoop or two.
Sunday Ice Cream stands out for its distinctively Asian-inspired flavors, offering choices you won’t often find in standard ice cream shops. Varieties like ube, taro, black sesame, Thai tea, and boricha highlight a creative twist on classic desserts. Sampling is encouraged, which helps with the tough decisions—there’s a wide range of flavors from earthy, nutty notes to sweet and floral profiles. They also offer interesting combinations served in waffle bowls or cones, with an added bonus of complimentary condensed milk to drizzle over your ice cream for that extra touch of richness.
This spot caters well to families with kids as well as adults looking for a unique sweet treat. Weekdays and mid-afternoon visits usually mean a quieter experience, while weekends can get bustling, reflecting the local popularity and the steady foot traffic from the nearby restaurants and shops in the plaza.
