They have lots of different flavors. The staff seem super chill and fast with order. Would go again.

This is my second time here after a few years. It used to be cheaper so I was a bit sad it went up $2 to $10.75 . Nonetheless, the ice cream here is still as good as I remember! We got the Vietnamese coffee with a bubble egg waffle. You get 4 toppings as well and the options are endless. The inside is a bit bare with not a lot of tables so I don't know if this is a great place to hang out with friends. I would still come back for a sweet treat and think Kuma is worth a try! read more

Fresh, hip atmospheric and sweet, patient staff. It was not too busy when we went yesterday (Wed) at around 6. Their menu is only accessible via a QR code on their window or the big menu board and they have so many options (snacks, food, ice cream and drinks) so it took us a while to figure out what we wanted. When we approached the counter, the amazing cashier was more than happy to answer our questions and even let us sample the ice cream flavors we were considering. While our party ordered one at a time, the kitchen staff got to work on our orders so we didn't wait long for the ice cream to come out. The presentation is definitely a 10 out of 10 but... It's pretty pricey for the ice cream- 9.75 for a waffle cone or 6.75 for a small cup. Either one will come with 1 flavor, 4 toppings and a syrup of choice. All of us enjoyed our treat, but if I'm honest the texture and flavor didn't blow me away. I got strawberries and cream with various toppings which were cute, but it's not better ice cream than say Marble Slab or a real creamery. My dad let me try his waffle cone and it was like an eggy waffle flavor but with a Pancake texture. You can save the 3 bucks and do without it. Overall it's a great spot for kids and we'd go again! Just know their impeccable vibe Is the main reason people go. Next I'll try the boba instead read more

A few Fridays ago, my girlfriend and I wanted to catch up on the week and decided we'd like to treat ourselves for her birthday. I had never been to KUMA before and browsed the unique and tasty arrangements of ice-cream within a waffle or cup on the Yelp-o-Sphere. The ice-cream looked amazing (thanks Yelpers) and within the hour we were seated in a cool little spot with the aroma of sweet gooey goodness wafting in our noses. The cashier saw the glazed look in my eye and was very helpful and let us try different ice-creams before we made our final choice. Our waffle maker was also helpful and explained his process while I took notes for my review. Wanting to ensure my waffle was just as gooey as the previous one he made, I watched the waffle-making process as the skilled creator made unique combo after combo while I took my time thinking of my add-ons. While the menu seems to be made for the ice-cream lovers, it also boasts cold drinks, ice cream, as well as hot snacks to include, my Japanese Favorite, Gyoza, Wing combos, Mac Bites and Jalapeno poppers. While I studied the board, we choose a delectable combination of Caramel Truffle Ice-cream enclosed in a soft warm waffle. I decided to add an Oreo, toasted marshmallow and cookie crisp cereal to the mix, along with a caramel drizzle to sweeten the team. My girlfriend created a close combo but added strawberries to hers. The combination was mouthwatering and such a treat on a warm day. The waffle had just the right amount of gooey goodness that didn't get soggy and melt my ice-cream while we caught up on the week. Normally, I only see sweet treats like this on Guy's Diners and Dives and I'm so excited that it was a short 15 minutes away from my home (located on 1604). I would definitely recommend this location and indulgence and at $8 a winning combination. Don't walk... Run to get you a KUMA Creation. Highly recommended AKA as Da Islandgal29412 read more

Kuma - Two treats, caramel truffle ice cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

There's something about craving ice cream when it's 90+ degree outside lol. Coming from MD, my girls and I have been on the hunt for a good local ice cream shop that has mix-ins and/or adds non-traditional toppings. Good ol Yelp to the rescue! Kuma boasts about 20 flavors of ice cream and specializes in serving them with Hong Kong style waffles (those soft puffy waffles). You get to pick a sauce and up to 4 toppings for $8.75. Note that a unicorn lollipop counts as 2 toppings. If you opt for the waffle, your ice cream is served in a Chinese takeout container. It's super cute and a really fun way to repurpose those containers! I love not having a traditional crunchy waffle cone cuz those can break or leak. My eldest and I have been twice & brought my youngest along for the second trip. Together; we've tried 5 different flavors of ice cream (all made in house) and they were all oh so good. My only recommendation/nit pick is that I kinda wished they mixed some of my toppings into the ice cream (like cold stone or marble slab). Either that or give me more surface area (larger Chinese takeout container??) so that I can scoop/mix my toppings better. Kuma will definitely be our go to for a treat day!! read more

Sweet treats and a few selection of savory items and appetizers are always good here. However, last Friday when we visited around 6:20 PM, the service was terrible. I purposely let it go for several days before I finally post my rating and review so that my negative feelings would at least be less and hopefully not affect my review. But still I just can't let this chance to pass by without reiterating how incompetent and unprofessional those young ladies were. We ordered the waffle with ube ice cream as well as an order of Taiyaki with red been paste filling and an order of Takoyaki. We expect the young lady cashier to at least ask us if we want to wait to have our ice cream order since they still need to prepare the Taiyaki and Takoyaki, but no, about a minute after we paid for our order, our ice cream is ready. I really expect that the Taiyaki and Takoyaki would be available soon. But again no, the ice cream already melted and still there's no Taiyaki and Takoyaki. After about five minutes or so, I followed it up with the young lady on the cashier and she said it's being prepared by the other young lady inside the back kitchen. We noticed that the young gentlemen left and went out and later came back with food, most likely their dinner. Still we don't have our savory orders. I was expecting that out Taiyaki and Takoyaki would be piping hot since they had to prepare it that long. When we finally got it, both orders were just warm and it seems like it's been standing for a while or perhaps these young ladies just forgot about it. My cousin approached the young lady to report that our ice cream is already melted and the young lady seem to be not caring at all and don't know what to do. Bad customer service there. Good thing one of the young gentlemen talked to my cousin and "really" listened to my cousin and replaced our ice cream order with a fresh one. Whoever that young lady is, she was wearing a pikachu hat on and her other young lady companion, they are both unprofessional and absolutely lack a sense of good if not great customer service. The two young gentlemen were way better with their customer service skills. Not sure if one of the young gentleman is a manager or a team lead but definitely these two young girls are unprofessional. These young girls seem to be not caring at all and seems like they are just there to collect their pay check. The place still look clean and well kept. The food and the ambience are still on point but because of these young ladies unprofessional customer service, my rating went down to only three stars. I just hope that the owner or the managers would look into this and see who that young lady was, she was wearing a pickachu hat, she needs to review her customer service skills and common sense and needs to learn from their two young gentlemen shift companion last Friday afternoon/early evening of June 30. It was just unacceptable, period!!!! read more

Kuma - Ube ice cream, condensed milk, toasted marshmallows and Ube sticks - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Y'all, I have a really bad habit of wanting to eat ice cream after eating dinner at a restaurant. Usually, I just make myself do without, but today the thought of trying out a "new to me" place got the best of me. My family and I had just finished eating a delicious seafood dinner close by, and all of us agreed to try some ice cream here. It didn't take much convincing to get them all on my side. This place is really fun. You pick an ice cream. You pick a sauce. You pick 4 toppings. You decide if you want it in a cup or a waffle. My advice... Go for the waffle. They are not just any old ice cream parlor waffles. They are shaped with balls that are about 1" round. They kind of pull apart as you eat the ice cream. They are slightly sweet, warm, and scrumptious. My choices were dark chocolate raspberry truffle ice cream, chocolate syrup, and 4 chocolate pocky sticks all in a waffle. It came served in a little Chinese takeout box with the spoon tucked in the back. You can see it in the pictures. I really liked the dark chocolate raspberry truffle ice cream. It had crunchy pieces of dark chocolate all through it. The ice cream was gooey and rich, indicating that it is made with a heavy cream. The chocolate flavor was intense, and the raspberry knocked it over the top. My wife had the same ice cream, but took a different approach to the finish, as you can see in the photo with the oreo. My son opted for the green tea ice cream with condensed milk, Fruity Pebbles, and gummy bears. Both enjoyed their treats, although I cringe at the thought of hard cold gummy bears in my ice cream. I have to say I was really excited to see condensed milk as an option. When I was a kid, we weren't very well off. Mama bought the cheapest melorine or ice milk she could buy. We used sweetened condensed milk right out of the can as our topping. I'm going to get that next time, but it didn't sound good with dark chocolate raspberry truffle. I am going to be back often. Especially after eating seafood at Alta Mar close by. It will also be a cool down treat after I do any volunteer work at Government Canyon Sate Natural Area. read more

For $8.75 you pick an ice cream flavor, 4 toppings and a sauce served in a waffle cone or cup. They also have boba drinks, teas, and coffees. They offer some hot food like wings, fries, dumplings and octopus balls. The service is order and pick up at the register. They have Apple pay and dining areas to enjoy the food, drinks and desserts. Super nice staff. Toppings include chocolate chips, rainbow krispies, pocky sticks and panda cookies. We opted for the condensed milk as the sauce. Anime murals on one wall and plastic ivy in the other. read more

This place is one of those small snacking restaurants made popular by college students looking for a place to hang out. Is it worth it? Probably not. It's quiet and spacious, but apart from that, I don't see the value in it. I ordered the fries that had sauce as well as bonito flakes on it. The toppings were all on top and not properly mixed, so once you ate the top layer, all the bland fries were at the bottom. The toppings themselves were good. The sauce was sparse as well as the bonito flakes, so don't expect much. The drinks were more ice than drink and rather disappointing. The service is just about non-existent. You place an order at the front, the call your number/name to let you know it's ready and that's about it for your interaction with the workers. I don't know if I can legitimately suggest this place. Is it a good hangout spot? Sure, it can be. But it's kinda empty. Are the snacks good? Eh. Would I come back? Nah. read more

THE MENU: they specialize in their very colorful and animated ice cream creations. How fun! I just went in for a boba drink and snack. Luckily they had potstickers, so I ordered that and a milk tea with boba. THE SERVICE: Several young girls working. Their pace was a little slow for me. I waited an unnecessary amount of time for my order, but did not complain and waited at a stool near the door. THE FOOD: The milk tea was a disappointment. Flavor was not rich enough, boba was overdone. The Gyoza potstickers were HUGE! Sadly, only a packet of the cheapest soy sauce brand was provided to complement the flavors. A traditional dipping sauce would've done a much better job. OVERALL: I would normally only rate this experience as a 3-star, but as their ice cream desserts looked so yummy and lots of fun, I'm certain they were great, thus a higher rating. Would like to take my daughter there to try one of those in the future in hopes they earn a 5-star rating and an edit to my review. Good luck to this business! I hope it does great as our community needs more fun and unique treat options as this place offers. read more

The ice cream was good but super creamy so if that's your jam, you'll want to try this place. I asked for extra fruity pebbles instead of other ingredients and got no "extra". The taiyaki also known as red bean fish bread was FRIED, not grilled over the fire. It smelled good but it didn't taste good. The rose boba was not what I was expecting at all. Instead of having a refreshing drink, it felt like I was drinking milky perfume. The facility was cute and photo worthy but the food... not so much. read more

This place is the worst! I recommend going here if you want to be treated like trash while you eat your ice cream. They will literally start kicking you out 30 minutes before closing! The employees are the worst & the ice cream is not good plus they never have waffles when you ask them because they just don't want to make them for you. What is with the inappropriate loud metal music??? The girl with the RBF that looks like a zombie also needs to find a new job. We've given this place so many chances. Anytime they close at ten.. we have gone at nine after dinner and they are livid because they want to close early. When it first opened we loved it but after the second time it just went downhill so quickly. read more

The flavors are amazing and the toppings take your flavors to the next level but the cone - that made fresh, soft and warm, delicious cone! - transforms your simple cone to an experience. I like the Ube ice cream, especially since I can't find this flavor anywhere else. I add in Fruity Pebbles to give my taste buds some confetti and top it with sweet cream sauce.

Milk Tea Hub in Shanefield Road! We ordered the Hong Kong Classic Milk Tea with Taro pudding and Tapioca, it was good if I know what is it. It means, it doesn't taste like Hong Kong Milk Tea at all. I asked for no sugar, and the crew advised us in advanced that it will still be somehow sweet because of the milk, which is fine. But the Milk Tea taste like more of strong coffee than tea. I enjoyed it at some point but not what am expecting. Maybe try the ice cream next time. The place was pretty neat and I loved the interior design. The service is just fine, nothing special. read more
