Ko-Li Bar

Excellent shave ice!You order on your own and service is quick. Very cute decors in the shop. 100% recommend to everyone. Found my favorite dessert spot in San Diego!

07/14/24 - Late PostFirst time here and even with the small menu, I had a hard time deciding what to get. Should I get IG worthy shaved ice bowls or the more simpler ones in a go to cup. We ended up ordering the mango and peach go to cup parfait-koli shaved ice and a kids cup with the syrup and cream on the side. The parfait ones are good, refreshing and has a lot of flavor. We didn't get any of the pretty shaved ice bowls. Seating area was connected to a japanese restaurant and they share the bathroom. This place got busy and has a small parking area but customers were in and out and mostly ordering to go. This is a cute dessert place to go to but probably not something I would keep going back to.

Discovered this little dessert shop after finishing dinner nearby. Walked in, and the way they had decorated the inside reminded me of Japan. Loved the vibe inside, and we were greeted as soon as we walked through the door. Very straightforward when ordering. You walk up to a touch screen, and there you can scan through all the options. Thr shaved ice was what we were after, so we ordered the strawberry bear and chocolate parfait. My daughter lost it over the strawberry bear and thought it was too adorable to eat. Both bowls were absolutely delicious! Flavourful, and the presentation was awesome. The only downside for me was the price point. $15 is the asking price for these bowls, which is expensive for what they are. Although with inflation, I do understand. I will happily return though once the prices drop. If you're looking for some delicious shaved ice, give Ko-Li BAR a shot

I came here today and everything was so good!!!There is a small parking lot so it might be hard to find parking in the evening. You order with the kiosk and then pick up your order and sit down.It was quite packed but the wait was worth it. I got the strawberry bear, and it was so delicious! Definitely not dairy-free. There was also ice cream in the middle, which was a nice surprise. It was super cute and not too sweet. It feels light.I will definitely return!!! So cutee!!

When you step inside, it transports you to an izakaya style bar in Japan. Here, they serve shaved ice and they have a variety of options for you to choose from. The service was fast and we ordered through a screen so there was minimal interaction with the workers. We went with the strawberry bear kakigori, which looked more like a dog in our opinion. The flavors were alright and nothing that we haven't tasted before. It was essentially a strawberry purée over ice and milk. They say that their ice is imported from Japan. We personally found that it melted really fast and had difficulty eating it before it turned into a soup. Overall, good dessert but it was quite pricey for the size and how quickly it melted. We paid $16 for this shaved ice. I recommend going once to try out the novelty of it, but it would be hard to justify the sustainability of a $16 dessert frequently when there are so many options around. I do acknowledge that there are smaller kakigori sizes and options that don't have a character on them, which may be less expensive!

ORDERmatcha shaved ice (5/5)i love love love bingsoo and matcha, so this was the perfect dresser for me! it was so yummy and the matcha flavor was stronger than most places. SERVICEwe ordered on a kiosk, but the bingsoo came out quick.AMBIANCE unique interior with limited seats and parking.

Ko-Li Bar is serving adorable Japanese sweet treats to beat the summer heat! I came after a long day of being outdoors so enjoying a bowl of Kakigori sounded lovely. The shop is small and reminiscent of an izakaya with minimal seating. My friend and I split their most popular item, the Strawberry Bear! Ordering is done at the kiosk and they call you by number when the order is ready. Our order came with a side of strawberry puree sauce, which we didn't use much of. The chocolate chips as the eyes didn't really work, but it was cute. There wasn't many toppings besides the strawberry ears, whip cream, a mint, and the vanilla ice cream inside. The bowl was a shareable size for two and was slightly sweetened by condensed milk and by the ice cream. I would opt for a different option next time and I like their variety and unique flavors. I definitely have my eye on their Milky Cantaloupe next!

We ordered at the counter and waited just a few mins for our order to be ready. The staff are quiet and polite.Came here a little while ago for some dessert. First impressions, I thought the Japanese decor was sooo cute and definitely a good experience. We got 2 shaved ice and a Sando. The shaved ice is a good option if you're looking for something sweet but still on the lighter side. It was a little too light for me (for the price..) it was aLOT of ice and not so much topping... but one did have a scoop of ice cream in it that was a good addition. My kid enjoyed her fruit and cream sando. Small dining area, better for smaller groups . The menu is a bit limited, focusing mostly on the shaved ice. Can be a little pricey.

I've known of this place for a while but finally checked it out! Located in a small plaza in convoy, the parking lot is REALLY small but street parking is available. The store is small too but it's really cute!! The decor and the uniquely designed tables made it feel really cozy. The cashiers were also sweet and you can order on the kiosk! I got the matcha to go cup and I loved it. The matcha flavor tasted authentic and strong, yet sweet. There was also ice cream at the bottom so it was very creamy. I was surprised by the blueberries and strawberries and mango at the bottom, since it wasn't listed in the description on the menu, so be cautious if you have allergies! I also thought the portion size was perfect since the bowls seem really big!!

Shaved ice is delicious! Tables are cool, simple art work around the walls but ties everything in. Our table had koi fish figurines with a resin top.
