Taro & Cookie Monster
Lizarely Q.

Loved ittt! Called in and they have staff taking orders but they also have a screen to order from. Decided to go with the taiyaki with Nutella & the taro & Cookie Monster ice cream. It was sooo good!!! Clean & fast service.

Cute location! My friend got boba and it was good but I got the matcha taiyaki ice cream and it was just okay. Not sure if I'll come back, but if I do I'll just get boba.

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.

Good service and portion. Reasonable prices. The soft serve could have been creamier, but the waffle was great. Good location with lots of parking.

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"

I just came here on a whim and I am so glad I did. It's delicious and the two girls there were very helpful and nice. Great customer service. I left very happy. Thank you to the two girls :) I wish I got their names. But if you're in the area and want ice cream, I definitely recommend!

10/10 sweet treat before heading home. I got the matcha and horchata with a Nutella filled waffle! Definitely worth the stop.

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!

Devita R.

So glad they have non-dairy ice cream! The matcha ice cream was so good, not too sweet either. The taro was a tat too sweet but overall they're pretty good. 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

THE BEST !!! Literally so so delicious. The service was amazing and very fast. The shop is so cute and clean. Loved it !!

5/5 thanks to Taylor! I used to live in Riverside years ago and felt like the choice of boba and…read moretea places was very minimal and lacking. I was pleasantly surprised when driving by the area that there was a highly rated boba place I hadn't been to before. When I walked in, I was surprised by how busy it was. There was a line for the kiosk and after I ordered my drinks, the line was consistently to the door. There was a very wide selection of drinks to choose from and I appreciate them having unique flavors and twists to drink. I was contemplating between a matcha einspanner and the oksusu (corn) matcha latte. When I asked if there was a way to mix the two, Taylor was super friendly and helpful to explain how each drink was made and differed from one another and then took the time to give me options on how I could change up my drink. I ended up going with the oksusu matcha latte because the Korean in me loves corn drinks but Taylor had the barista add a rim of matcha syrup that you typically get in the einspanner. I loved the oksusu flavored foam with the little crunchy puffs. The matcha flavor was a little lighter than I typically like but still props for the unique take. My hubby got the Hokkaido milk tea. It was definitely a very sweet drink with a caramel like syrup in it which is different than how we've had Hokkaido milk tea at other boba places. If you aren't into super sweet drinks, I would recommend going lighter on the sweet level. You order through the two available kiosks here. I noticed there wasn't up to date menus on Yelp photos so I will upload the different drink options I saw through the kiosk!

First Impression: Another new business in this spot. Interesting decor and oh - tablet ordering…read more Location: Located in the small strip plaza by del taco and canton. Parking is very limited and that lot gets very busy with people coming and going. Experience: When you walk in, the two tablets will be on the left hand side. You place your order, pay and wait to hear your name called at the pick up counter. My favorite is the creme Brule milk tea with no boba. Note: They have tables and games for you to sit, play, and enjoy.

After really liking the Krak Boba located in Westminster, my husband and I were eager to try…read moreanother of their locations. As expected, this Riverside location impressed us as well. The drinks were delicious and served in nice, sturdy cups. Matcha Storm: A dessert-style matcha slush blended with creme brulee, this drink is a cup of creamy richness. It was blended perfectly to have a smooth, but slightly granular texture without any chunkiness. Moon Princess: From the secret menu, this is a peach green tea with chewy crystal boba. I really enjoyed every element of this drink. It was surprisingly creamy and had just the right amount of sweetness. Online ordering can be done through the app - super convenient and easy. Sign up for an account in the app to earn rewards and get BOGOs. There is some seating within the store, but it only seems like a good spot for small groups.

First things first is that this location is quite spacious, although it's a smaller store, I find that the store made the store very spacious with what they got. There's plenty of tables around and we saw a few hanging about and some on their devices. We had order online so there was no wait at all. I highly recommend downloading their app as they have promotions very often. My go to drink at Krak Boba is forever the Matcha Storm (Slush) and my wife wanted to try the Moon Princess drink. As the Matcha Storm is always a wonderful choice, they're always very consistent with the drink. Super refreshing no matter the situation and this time was no different. It's one of their most popular drinks and for good reason. My wife's drink, the Moon Princess was in my opinion, even better than the Matcha Storm. I don't know how to really describe it, but it was a taste that I had rarely seen. It was super refreshing, a mix of floral and oolong, it was just the perfect drink. Certainly a good recommendation for such a unique name for a drink. Overall, 10/10 Krak Boba locations, they have other locations and they're all wonderful. Love the consistency.

As good service as you can get for a drinks shop. Drinks here are like other 7 Leaves Cafes, my go tos are Jasmine Milk Tea, Summer Mint, and Oolong Milk Tea. Coffee options are available and they even have small bites like Macaroons. Overall, pretty standard 7 Leaves Cafe, this one even has a restroom, which requires a code from the staff. Free Wifi which is great as well.

Tasted more like they didn't clean their containers because it didn't taste like Jasmine tea at all...more like water with diluted coffee. Very disappointed. Bottom line: guess all good things don't stay good. Maybe they hit their peak a few years ago or maybe it's just this location?
