    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 !!

    Crème Brûlée

    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!

    UGH. MY FAVE FAVE SPOT EVER ! Please come to San Diego County we need you !! I've practically been…read moreto every location they have, but this was my first time at the Riverside location. I bring every friend I know here because everyone has to try this spot at least once. Ana was beyond friendly and helped us so much! You really need patience for this position and this girl gots it !! I'm glad I got to try the taro mixed with the coconut and salted caramel. It tasted exactly like the samoas girl scout cookie ! I was obsessed. I also tried a few other flavors she suggested, but ended up choosing the samoas flavor and orange since I wanted that orange creamsicle taste. With so many flavors and combos, you're almost guaranteed to find something you'll like no matter what you're into. I got a regular size because I wanted two different flavors. If you get the small, you can't do layers which is good to know. I was going to order a crepe, but they had a 30 minute wait which was a bummer since it was late and I was driving back to San Diego County. Don't get discouraged by lines, they move fairly quick and trust me, it's def worth the wait! 10000/10 Plenty of parking and a decent amount of seating. They do get super busy, so trash cans were overflowing. No restrooms, just FYI.

    We stopped in and got vanilla cream soft serve with peanut butter and strawberry sorbet, and wow…read more.. what an unexpectedly amazing combo. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by Genesis, who was phenomenal. She immediately offered us samples and asked if we had tried the sorbet yet. When I mentioned peanut butter and strawberry, she said she was going to mix them--even though it sounds a little weird--because it tastes just like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. She was absolutely right. It was incredible. (that one we got inside small) We also ordered a medium sorbet cream which was huge and came with a whole second layer of flavors. First layer: lemon, pineapple, sour apple, and mango. Second layer: sorbet cream with horchata, coconut, salted caramel, and coffee. The mix of fruity and creamy flavors was so good and honestly such a fun combo to try. We also grabbed a bananas foster crepe which i highly recommend . I do wish this was part of a select option rather than choose your own adventure but oh well! still good. Between the creative flavors and Genesis's awesome service, the whole experience was great. Definitely coming back!
