After we ordered food at KK's Fries, we walked next door past the liquor store to Kem Kem. I'm assuming the owner of KK's, owns Kem Kem as well because the signage was the same and they were both clean/simple looking places. It was our first time here, so of course we tried the fish waffles on top of the ice cream!! Haha. We got it filled with nutella and put fruity pebbles on top. The filled fish waffles was my favorite part. It's a genius idea to put it on top of ice cream, haha. I wanna try just the filled fish waffles next time. We will be back for sure!!! read more

Kem Kem - #2 - cookies and cream ice cream with nutella filling and fruity pebbles sprinkles. BOMB. - Desserts Near Me - Sacramento, California

I finally had a chance to try Kem Kem after it was on my Yelp bookmarks for months. The entrance closest to the shop is very bumpy, so be aware of that when coming here. The shop is clean and spacious. We were greeted by the staff once we walked in. The lobby has plenty of seating, board games, a water dispenser, and bathroom for customers. The soft serve flavors rotate. Although I was bummed to not see any of the milk tea flavors listed on the menu, there were still other delicious options. Everything is made to order with a lot of care. - #2 Soft Serve: 10/10 - creamy ube and strawberry soft serve that's not too sweet. Crispy, chewy mochi Taiyaki. Decadent custard filling. I loved the Oreo and Biscoff crumbs. - Strawberry Banana Kroffle: 8/10 - we were told to eat it with our hands. It was a bit messy, but it's part of the fun! The waffle texture wasn't the same as the Taiyaki texture, but it was still crispy and tasty. - Pizza Taiyaki: 10/10 - yummy, chewy Taiyaki filled with cheese, pepperoni, and marinara sauce. This one was soooo good. A must try! read more

So happy to have Kem Kem in this area! Great space to have a meet up, and pick your favorite flavor of soft serve ice cream along with some delicious Taiyaki treats. We tried the custard and Nutella flavors today for our Taiyaki's and for the soft serve we had the Ube with Earl Grey, Strawberry and cookies and cream. You get to pick a mini Oreo or a Pokey stick along with many choices of toppings. Something we are going to try next time is the signature Croffels and the pizza filled Taiyaki. The service was great, all the staff were so friendly and helpful to show us everything. I definitely will be back, this is a great local dessert spot! read more

Must try croffle. Amazing texture and flavor. I got the banana cinnamon croffle (Croissant & Waffle in one) and it was the perfect crispy chewiness, blended with amazing flavor. Their ube soft serve also has an amazing taste to it with toppings you choose with a taiyaki ! Service was fast served fresh and made to order. Store was cute with perfect seating and lighting. read more

We came in Friday evening and absolutely loved it! The inside has super cute decor and several tables. We came in and were greeted by the staff. They offer soft serve in a cup or you can get with the Taiyaki. They also have Taiyaki alone with various fillings. We got the guava milk tea swirl, ube thai tea swirl, and ube alone. We did get one with custard filled Taiyaki. Everything came out fast. You get to add some toppings, and a cookie. Our kids loved that they could pick their own. Soft serve was delicious!! Not too sweet, and it was light, especially the guava. The Taiyaki was crispy and chewy, almost chewy like a mochi texture. It was different than I expected but loved it! Our kids really loved it and we'll definitely be back. They're similar to some of the soft serve tayaiki places in the bay and taste just as good! read more

Ordered 4 taiyaki. 2 pizza and 1 matcha and 1 red bean. Didn't try their soft serve yet but I will definitely be back. Pizza ones were the favorite! Savory and delicious. Can't go wrong with the red bean (classic) Wish there was a little bit more filling or that the filling was spread more than just the middle but still great. Not the biggest fan of their matcha (little bit bitter in my opinion) The mochi texture was great, nice and chewy. I definitely would recommend eating them right away as the texture will change a little when not hot. Great service! read more

Well, I'm happy to say I definitely found a hidden gem! First and foremost, the staff are the sweetest people and have amazing service! The menu is very simple to understand and not overwhelming with too many options. In my opinion, they have the right amount of options to choose from. I ended up getting ube soft swirl with a taiyaki filled with ube. Let's just say ube is one of my favorite flavors! I also ended up getting 7 taiyakis for the boys, we got the Oreo, custard, red bean and of course ube! These were so good we ended up ordering two more! In all this was a great experience and we can't wait for our next little adventure at Kem Kem! read more

We had such a great experience at Kem Kem Ice Cream! My kids absolutely loved the fish waffle with chocolate ice cream --not only was it delicious, but the toppings were super creative and perfectly done. You can tell a lot of care goes into both the presentation and the flavors. One of our favorite parts was the family-friendly vibe. They have a dedicated area with board games, which my kids really enjoyed while we relaxed. It's such a thoughtful touch and makes this place stand out as more than just an ice cream stop. Highly recommend for families and anyone looking for something fun, unique, and tasty in the area. We'll definitely be back! read more

I heard about this place a few months ago. I finally went last Sunday. It was such a hot day. I got earl grey and half Ube soft serve creamy ice cream with Ube filled taiyaki. Taiyaki is Japanese fish shaped waffle like inside is like mochi it was different. I like it. The Early grey is light and Ube is my favorite flavor. It was so good. The owner is really nice lady. She was friendly. When your order is up, you can add topping of your choice. I will be returning and want to try other flavors. read more

Kem Kem Soft Serve at 7753 Roseville Rd, Sacramento, CA 95842 is such a hidden gem at a busy intersection! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with super friendly smiles and fast service -- exactly what you want when you're craving something sweet. Robert, the amazing manager, runs the place with so much care, and it shows.

The vibe here is fresh, fun, and welcoming. The menu looks packed with other goodies I can't wait to come back and try soon.

Kem Kem - Guava with taiyaki, and my handsome kid. - Desserts Near Me - Sacramento, California

Stopped by this place this evening for an after dinner treat during their soft opening and had a really good experience. The place is clean, simple, and the staff was super friendly. They let us try a few samples, which was incredibly helpful since we had two kids with us who couldn't make up their minds. Flavors are pretty limited, but the soft serve they do have is pretty good--pretty similar to the frozen yogurt at Yogurt Time, which we already like a lot. Creamy and not too sweet. They also have this fish-shaped waffle thing (a Japanese treat, I think) that you can get stuffed with ice cream or on the side. It's kind of crispy on the outside and soft inside--hard to describe, but it was really good and different from your usual cone. Definitely a nice addition to the area. read more

What a welcome addition to the very limited food scene in Antelope! My kiddos convinced me to let them get dessert after dinner so I jumped on Yelp and found Kem Kem! It was close to closing on a weekend night but there were still some patrons despite it being freezing outside. The inside was clean and there were a few high top tables available to enjoy the treats and play some board games. I LOVE the big mural wall with paint that looked like sprinkles and ice cream cones. My kids each got an ice cream of their choice plus some toppings and a cookie or pocky stick, all included in the price. The gal filling the cups was also super generous with the portions! I had the matcha and ube swirled with a Taiyaki (fish shaped waffle) with no filling. The Taiyaki was freshly made and warm. The texture was perfectly crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. It complimented the ice cream well because it wasn't too sweet (ultimate Asian compliment for desserts). Matcha and ube was the way to go too, so yummy! The owner chit chatted with us and was super nice. He even let us stay a little past closing because my kids were running around on a sugar high and enjoying themselves. Super glad Kem Kem is here and will definitely be our family's go to dessert spot. read more

This is such a nice, clean, open spacious place with friendly staff. They have different flavors of the soft serve ice cream, which was a great hit with my kids. I personally liked the Taiyaki as it was freshly made on the spot. We'll definitely come back to try the other flavors. This is a must place to visit also to beat the Sacramento heat! read more

After seeing a post on our community group about this place, I decided to take my daughter. The customer service was amazing!!! We were asked if we had ever been there before. And the options on the menue were explained. My daughter ordered a chocolate soft serve in a fish waffle with Nutella inside and topped with cookies. I had the Ube in a cup with a fish waffle on top custard on the inside and topped with coconut flakes. It was delicious and we will be returning!! read more

Very cute spot, open and spacious inside with really cute décor. The smell of the taiyaki I ordered was absolutely to die for! The custard filling had just the right amount of sweetness, which I love since I've had some that weren't sweet at all. I'm so excited to have found the perfect dessert spot. The Nutella filling was generous too, not skimped on at all. Service was also great. The girls who helped me were super nice and welcoming. Definitely a place I'll be coming back to! read more

Very tasty and good for kid parties Great dor small get together very clean environment.

The tayaki and ice cream is delicious, however I am not sure it is worth the wait. It took over 30 minutes to receive my tayaki after I got my ice cream, both of which were ordered at the same time. I was not informed of the wait when I ordered either. read more

Went to this ice cream place, and it was adorable inside--super clean with a bright, cheerful vibe. The people working there were really friendly, and the ice cream was amazing.

Super cute place that's 2 mins away from us, which is nice because a lot of the other ice cream shops we like are 10-15 mins away. We came the first week it opened and had it again for the second time tonight. I got style #2 where the ice cream is in a cup with the waffle on top. I got ube and Thai tea (swirled together) and put Nutella in the waffle, super refreshing and just the right amount of sweetness. The waffles are made fresh in front of you . They are still pretty new, so I'm excited to see if they add more flavors and toppings in the future. Check them out! read more

Even though the location is not the best, inside is clean and cute.They have a lot of variety, but unfortunately, every soft serve flavor that I sampled tasted watered down and had a very icy texture.

We stopped by on Friday evening and absolutely loved it! The space is super cute inside, with adorable decor and plenty of seating. As soon as we walked in, the staff welcomed us warmly, which made us feel right at home. They serve soft serve in cups or with Taiyaki (which you can also get on its own with different fillings--yum!). We tried the guava milk tea swirl, the ube Thai tea swirl, and the ube on its own. One of ours came with a custard-filled Taiyaki, and it was SO good! Everything came out quickly, and we loved that you can add toppings and a cookie. Our kids had a blast choosing their own combos--it was such a fun experience for them. The soft serve was delicious--light, not overly sweet, and super refreshing, especially the guava! And the Taiyaki? Crispy on the outside with a slightly chewy, mochi-like texture. It was different than we expected, but in the best way possible. The whole family really enjoyed it, and we'll definitely be back! read more
