Went last night with my family and it has to be the most delicious ice cream dessert we have had! We tried Cookie Monster vanilla and matcha. The waffle was warm soft. Unfortunately I left my purse behind and didn't notice until 30 min later. The employee was very polite and had it on the counter. We will definitely be coming back.
Shop has a nice and clean aesthetic and the staff greets you and the girl who helped me was open to any questions we had about the menu. I ended up ordering the taiyaki fish come with ice cream and it also comes with a filling of your choice included. I got the black sesame flavor ice cream with the custard filling. It was nice and refreshing for the hot day and the fish shaped cone is a very unique idea however the ice cream flavor wasn't really coming through for me and the ice cream itself felt very water based. I did enjoy the dessert though and I will probably stop again and try another flavor.
Such a cute place! Came here after lunch nearby for a little sweet treat. The interior is really modern and cute with a small seating area inside and also seating options outside. My friend and I ordered the 2pack taiyaki with Nutella and custard and lychee mango jasmine teas. The taiyaki was freshly made and perfect amount of filling. Teas were a bit on the sweet side but refreshing on a hot day. Definitely recommend, I want to come back and try the ice cream!
Huge serving of soft serve and takoyaki! Unique flavors like matcha and strawberry horchata soft serve and fillings (we got the matcha custard). The matcha itself is not very sweet (which I like). We also tried the lychee strawberry green tea boba which was alright. Overall it's a conveniently casual shop with limited seating but plenty of outdoor seating and areas to walk around.
This place is so cute! From the decor to the food. The man making the fish was so adorable. He was energetic and peppy when serving us. We ordered the Hokkaido boba. Okay. 3/5 Taiyaki with filling (Nutella, taro, custard, red bean, Oreo) 3/5. Taiyaki with ice cream ( strawberry ice cream and red bean filling) I very much enjoyed it 5/5 Plenty of space to eat outside. They do have a couple of seats to sit inside. Overall would come again.
Absolutely delicious! I had the coffee soft serve with custard taiyaki, and Olivia had the taro soft serve with Nutella taiyaki. Both were amazing. The shopping center is cute and full of interesting places to explore, with lots of sweet and savory options nearby. Such a fun day in Riverside--we'll definitely be back!
Came on a Saturday evening. Wasn't busy at all. They offer the kiosk or the register to order. The kiosk different offer everything on the menu. So ordered at the register. The staff was rude didn't really care. First time here and I wanted to know what the best selling ice cream was but they answered with one word. But overall the place is clean. So many items to choose from. The serving size is was too much for a child, so just be mindful. We weren't able to finish one serving size. Also the chocolate ice cream was already melting by the time we got it. Which was weird. But the strawberry and horchata swirl was really good. Chocolate was decent just didn't like how it was melting. Would definitely come back.
Break the Ice is a local dessert place in Riverside county with a Korean flair. We stopped by for dessert after a big lunch to satisfy our craving for boba. Their signature item is the taiyaki ice cream reminiscent of Somi Somi. We ordered the horchata/strawberry milk and taro/matcha taiyaki ice cream. The consistency of the ice cream was not creamy or rich but more icy, and so it wasn't as good as it appears. Super aesthetic though! In terms of cleanliness, customer service, and atmosphere, it is a nice quiet shop with ice cream or boba options. However, I didn't think the quality of the ice cream was better than Somi Somi or specialty ice cream places.
Needed a late night treat, came here, and the place was jumping. Ordered at the kiosk and waited for my order. Everything was very efficient and tasted lovely. Great way to spend a summer evening and plenty of outdoor seating. Plus, there are many eateries, in this area, with lots of options.
A friend and I were in the area and wanted a sweet treat. I saw in the window that they sold boba and taiyaki, which I was surprised about. We went in, there are two entrances, side and the front. There was bar seating and tables inside as well as patio seating outside. The shop looks like your typical ice cream shop, with blue, white, and yellow accents along the walls and decor. It looks very sweet. The servers greeted us when we came in and said to let them know if we had any questions. The menu is on a wall and there are alot of options. There's the taiyaki, soft serve, milk tea, fruit tea, and smoothies. I chose the speciality drink (lavender with taro wave boba) and my friend the Thai tea with 2 piece taiyaki with Nutella filling. We didn't wait too long for our orders. There is also a restroom inside. I really like my drink but it very sweet and there was a lot of boba in it. Not too bad and the taiyaki was good but very gooey.

A nice dessert place in a community diner area. Seating inside and outside to enjoy your food. The staff is friendly and fast with their service. I ordered the 5 pcs Takiyaki, Custard, Nutella, Mozzarella and Taro. It was warm, sweet and fluffy. read more

Yesterday, my husband and I tried their taiyaki cup with soft serve ice cream/yogurt. I had ube but it did not taste like ube at all. It has a hint of tea, a taste like my iron supplement and salt. My husband confirmed the taste and said that it is not ube at all just food coloring. He on the other hand had a better taste-chocolate and vanilla which no one should make a mistake. It is not too creamy or sweet. The taiyaki and sides are good though. The service is fast. The place is clean. The restroom is not available the whole time we are there. I should have tried their boba drinks instead. Next time, I'll try their classic taiyaki and boba. I am hoping that it will be a better experience for us. read more

Came here for a sweet treat after having a hard day. Instant pick-me-up! The employee was energetic, enthusiastic, and kind! He helped us right away, and even offered a recommendation. He was also very quick/efficient, as he had both of our drinks and taiyaki ice creams out in under five minutes! We tried to tip but there wasn't an option in the tablet, so we went to the ATM at Ralph's to get cash for a tip haha Everything was delicious! The strawberry milk tea and Thai tea were flavorful, yet not overly sweet- just right. The Vietnamese coffee ice cream was strongly caffeinated, which I appreciated the energy boost! And the Taro ice cream was very refreshing in the hot weather! The taiyakis even came with Pocky/Pepero sticks and some mochi :) With the taiyaki cart decor and the many Nutella jars on display, the cafe is cute and cozy! It really is as their cups say: "the best bubble tea in town" read more

YUMMY AND DELICIOUS wish they gave more chocolate sometimes, but probably for the best they don't since it could be a health hazard, LOL, I'm such a sucker for chocolate fhekfhskbs I love this place, I go every chance I get. Taiyaki here is a delicacy, they prepare it in front of you, and are pretty quick! Also, yummy taro ice cream. It's so cute inside and aesthetic! read more

Hubby got the snow island which was delicious. The Taiyaki was super chewy and tasty The place is very nice and clean, the young lady that helped us was super nice. We are super happy read more

My friend and I ordered delivery. I was a little hesitant to order delivery for soft serve ice cream, but they packaged it really well and we got lucky with a fast delivery driver. I would love to try this place in person to sample the other flavors. Overall, it was really yummy. The prices are reasonable considering it's a novelty item. I'm glad that we have one of these shops next to campus :) read more

Came across this cute dessert shop visiting daughter at school. Owner is nice and shop is very clean. Drinks are good but a bit too sweet for my tooth. Taiyaki were good as well. Must visit place if you're in the neighborhood and there's an outdoor courtyard area which is calming and peaceful with a water fountain in the center. read more

Worst experience I've ever had at a boba place! They were sooo unhelpful and were not friendly at all... both the drinks I got had ZERO flavor and tasted disgusting I threw mine out! My sister got a crème brûlée boba and it was only milk! Never coming back to this place and I highly recommend you don't either save your $8 and go else where! read more

When food is fun it brings smiles! Seeing these waffle fish heads chomping down some froyo just makes you want one. There's an array of flavors to choose from along with fillings. Great service as he explained the process of ordering. Loved the choice we made. So refreshing with some texture, light toasted waffle, soft yogurt, red bean paste, chewy and sticky mochi. Such a fun concept and so appealing as we eat with our eyes first.. then the camera... then us lol read more

Have had taiyaki hot and filled with cheese and also filled with ice cream and custard. Ice cream flavors are fun, very California. You can get classics like matcha and ube, and also horchata. Everything I've had here is tasty, shop is clean, and help is fast and friendly. Don't like to talk to humans? They've got a kiosk where you can order and pay. Seeking on the patio is nice, weather permitting. read more
This place is located in a spacious plaza and there are also plenty of space and area not only for your car, but for yourself! There are bar seating, and regular tables and chairs inside as well as just outside of it. We came in on a weeknight to try the strawberry milk tea. They make the drink really quick! We placed the order, paid, and it took a couple minutes before they called out for us to pick it up. The drink itself is very pink and very sweet!! I think next time I would have to adjust the sweet level here. Otherwise the place is neat, customer service is good, and I would try the other drinks/snacks on the menu. read more

The ice cream had an odd flavor. They got my order wrong and we went to ask if it could get replaced. The worker took forever and then I overheard another worker complaining saying "they asked for custard so what do they even want us to do". I didn't not ask for custard. The worker asked me if I still wanted it and I denied and left. read more

So good!! Will definitely be coming back! Me and my daughter got an ube and matcha swirl and got Nutella in our taiyaki and my bf got an horchata strawberry swill with Nutella also inside his fish pastry. The consistency is like a soft serve ice cream and has great flavor, the fish pastry is fluffy but has a nice crisp on the outside. read more
