Cutest place ever ! They have great ambience , huge space they utilized well with murals and art . The ice cream and waffle were perfect for super hot days . I enjoyed picking onto my toppings and making my little combination . This was a fun experience and yummy one of that . Area is clean and well kept . Service was kind and friendly they were helpful in selecting what I wanted since the menu is huge !

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!

Egg waffle with mango ice cream plus strawberries!

It was my birthday, and I wanted to stop somewhere for Dessert. I googled Dessert near me, and Kuma came up. I am so glad I did! The Egg waffle with Mango Ice cream plus strawberries was amazing. I am picky when it comes to everything. This exceeded my expectations.

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

I had a small cup with vanilla bean ice cream, caramel, and cookies and cream pocky. It was delicious and gone within minutes. The place is cute and the price wasn't too bad for the quality of ice cream I received. Would definitely visit again.

Hubby ordered the cookies n cream with waffle cone, strawberries, mochi, marshmallow, and pockey stick. He enjoyed it ! But pls offer some non dairy ice cream options

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

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!!

Have been here a few times already and always enjoy the ice cream treat. I get it with the waffle, which is soft and not super sweet. The ube cheesecake flavor is delicious, but there are several more flavors that look good I would want to try. The boba tea is also delicious here. Staff is friendly and patient, and they let you try the ice cream flavors if you can't decide!

Our ube ice cream few second after it was handed over to us, before it started to disastrously melt away.

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!!!!

Great visit today! We knew we wanted to visit here for dessert. We ate at Sea Island Bandera and visited after dinner. We passed on the bubble waffle cone because we usually don't finish it. We got coffee crunch ice cream with chocolate sauce, chocolate chips, rainbow mochi, fresh strawberries, and chocolate pocky sticks. Satisfied my sweet tooth!

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.

Short story: LIT! BOMB! DELICIOUS! Long story: Ice cream was amazing! Waffle was made to perfection! Thai tea was also great and you have the option to get your drink in a reusable glass bottle that you can take home (way to look out for Mother Nature!) They also have options on deck, so if your picky you'll still find something to licky. read more

Ice cream on steroids. They have an assortment of toppings to choose from. The menu wasn't that descriptive so you have to ask the cashier what each name was to find out more, which was kind of annoying. No sampling could be done. The waffle cone was an actual thick waffle unlike the thinner version. They sold other food items like chicken wings and appetizers. read more

Sad to say I am a bit disappointed in this location. First we walked in to 3 young girls cackling, got to the counter to order & they kept going while we stood there which made it a little awkward for us. Then, when they finally caught their breathe we were able to order & they were out of ube ice cream (my fav, but it happens right?) no big deal. For some reason they didn't have the bunuelos at this location, not sure why. Again, not a big deal. Got our order in a timely matter considering we were the only ones in the place. It was definitely pricey (just about $20) for two people, but I get the aesthetic of the place. And honestly I love the bubble waffles more than the ice cream so it's a fair deal! The ice cream melted before we even got out of the establishment but overall i would consider revisiting for the bubble waffle alone. read more

All I have to say is that this place is AMAZEballs. Anything and everything you get will make your taste buds scream in excitement. It's a waffle filled with ice cream and 4 toppings. It's very filling so it's shareable. If you're not in the mood for ice cream, they also serve drinks. The staff here is friendly. The new location on Shaenfield is huge. I wish they would have more seating but I understand why they can't because this place gets really busy. I'll definitely be back again. read more

Terrible uncomfortable service Me and my friends went there 30 minutes before closing, and the employees where giving us all dirty looks and where slamming things. When we finally received our order , it was made sloppy and was clearly rushed. As we were we eating we could feel the employees staring at us wanting us to leave ASAP.This was one of our favorite places to go for a tasty treat, but honestly I would not recommend the 1604 location, rather I would recommend their original Babcock location. If I can give it zero stars I would no one should have to spend money to feel that uncomfortable!!! read more

Freaking awesome!!! The waffle is light and airy and not too sweet. It looks like a large portion once it's in your hand but because there is only 1 good sized scoop of ice cream and with the airiness of the waffle the portion was perfect for me (I'm a 6' 200 lb male), so it might be a bit for a smaller individual. But the options are endless to customize your treat, I'd recommend more seating for the large open area otherwise no complaints! read more

Came in here for an after school treat and we were not disappointed. While the price might seem high - you get a truly delicious and hefty package of waffle and ice cream and toppings. The space is decorated cutely but seems cavernous with not many tables, but I could see it filling up if the line gets long. The staff was - fine. I've had friendlier service but, meh, the ice cream made up for it. It was completely instagramable and totally yummy. Next time we'll try a tea and other flavors of ice cream. read more

I've just went back to Kuma while on vacation in San Antonio. Kuma has greatly improved since the last time I was here! Their selection of ice cream flavors has greatly expanded! I saw Ube, mango, lychee, red bean, peach, green melon, double chocolate, and so much more! Kuma also offers smoothies, milk/bobo tea, cream tea, some Asian snacks and two kinds of milkshakes. Yes, just two milkshakes; Ube and mango. Kuma's selection of sauces and toppings also increased. Kuma staff did some redesigns to the store. They added more neon signs with logos that match the theme of their business; some say, "It Gonna' Lick Itself!, "But First, Boba"! Most impressive is that they painted a huge mural featuring the main characters, from the popular anime, Demon Slayer Kobayashi! It was so cool! I didn't have my cell phone with me, so I couldn't take a photo. Maybe next time. Most importantly, this Kuma location has better lighting outside, so now I don't feel so scared coming here in the evening. read more

Definitely unique and tastes fairly good, although it can be pretty pricey for a cone if you go. ($7.50 per cone) You pick your ice cream, pick four toppings, and then a sauce. The hand you your ice cream wrapped in a fresh waffle and it tastes pretty good. The marshmallows are toasted and my favorite topping! Although this ice cream shop is pretty good and unique, I'm only giving it a 4-star because it is usually messy inside. The restrooms are very dirty and the main lobby's floor is very dirty. read more

Ice cream was delicious. Tried it out for the first time with some friends and we really enjoyed the dessert. That being said... staff was SO RUDE! Since it was our first time there we asked the girl working if she could explain how to order and she had an attitude since the beginning. When asking what the flavors of the panda cookies toppings were (strawberry or chocolate) she replied "I can't pick and choose for you it's random" in a snarky way. I don't know if she was having a bad day or if this is just the way customers are treated on the regular but please better your customer service, it goes a long way. read more

Pretty pricey for an ice cream cone. I figured I would give it a try got the cookie dough. It's pretty lacking of flavor. You get four toppings which sounds like a lot except they are very stingy with them as you can see in the photo they added one marshmallow, one Oreo cookie, and a small drizzle of caramel and chocolate chips. It tastes OK, but I would rather go to sonic and spend half the price. read more

THIS REVIEW IS FOR THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE--We come visit here at least once a week as this is now our favorite location. Tonight, we walked in at 8:50pm and asked if they are still okay to make ice cream and drinks. We were told okay, we still have another 10 mins. We ordered Kuma Ice cream and two beverages as they were "out" of most of their stuff. We were so thankful that they still accommodated our requests. We noticed one female worker (skinny, tall, dark hair with glasses), throwing the blender and making unnecessary loud noise and ugly faces as she made our drinks. She had the worst attitude and projected she is not happy with her job. All the other workers were nice but she's the only worker- rolling her eyes and throwing tantrums. Very unprofessional and disrespectful. Now we're thinking of finding a different place to take our kids and spend our money. read more

These are not how real bubble waffle cones are . We got two and both decorated very cute but the cones are thick waffle cakey soft cones.... Coming from Houston we've been at many of these ...they are supposed to be crispy and hollow . Oh well ... The ice cream was fine not creamy or dreamy how it looked ..the shop is tiny with barely any room to sit if you go after dinner and it's pricey for what it is. read more

It was popping when we got there, so we had about a 25 minute wait. It took them a little while to take our order, but once they did, the food was made and delivered in a timely manner. I, of course, got the cinnamon roll pancakes short stack, and they were absolutely divine. No need for butter or syrup, they were perfectly delicious as is, cinnamon swirl included?!? and icing glaze as well. Another favorite was the chile relleno omelette - the poblano pepper on top added some smokiness along with the steak, and the sour cream and cheese cooled it down. Bacon and canadian bacon on point. A solid breakfast spot! Don't miss out on the cinnamon roll pancakes! *Cinnamon Roll pancakes, short stack *Cowboy Breakfast: eggs, biscuits with country gravy, bacon *Chile Relleno Omelette: fajita steak, green peppers, onions, tomatoes, & cheese, topped with ranchero sauce, sour cream, green onion, feta cheese *Pancakes & Eggs: 2 cinnamon roll pancakes, scrambled eggs, sausage *Sides: grilled ham, bacon, hash browns

The Guenther House

Guenther House ended up being one of my favorite stops in San Antonio…read more Of course, the food was excellent. We had breakfast tacos, waffles, coffee, and a few other breakfast items, and everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The coffee was especially good. What surprised me most was how much more this place is than a restaurant. The historic home, museum rooms, gift shop, bakery counter, and beautifully maintained grounds make it feel like a destination rather than just a place to grab breakfast. The atmosphere reminded me of visiting a family home that has been lovingly preserved for generations. There is so much history throughout the property, yet it still feels warm and welcoming instead of formal. I was also impressed by the gift shop. It's packed with Pioneer products, baking mixes, Texas-made goods, and unique souvenirs. The bakery case alone is worth checking out because the desserts are enormous and looked amazing. We happened to visit on a rainy morning, so there was no wait. After seeing the property and experiencing the food, I completely understand why people are willing to line up on busy days. If you're visiting San Antonio, I would recommend giving yourself extra time here. Come for breakfast, stay to explore the house, browse the gift shop, and walk the grounds. It's a place that feels uniquely Texan and unlike anywhere else I've visited.

This place is absolutely charming! The ambiance is a perfect balance between historic character and…read moremodern comfort, making it a wonderful spot to relax and enjoy a meal. Be prepared for a wait since seating is first-come, first-served and the restaurant gets quite busy. Fortunately, the wait didn't feel long at all because we were able to explore the surrounding historic neighborhood while waiting for our table. Once seated, there was a bit of a wait for the food ( hence 4 stars), but it was well worth it. Everything tasted fresh and made to order. Our server, Martin, was fantastic. He was friendly, attentive, and provided excellent customer service throughout our visit. The house coffee was a standout. It had a unique blend of spices that gave it a rich, flavorful taste unlike a regular cup of coffee. For food, we ordered the sweet waffle, and it was rich and buttery. The pancakes were light, fluffy, and equally delicious. The biscuits were soft, buttery, and flaky, while the gravy was flavorful. Overall, a wonderful dining experience with great food, excellent service, and a beautiful atmosphere. I would definitely return and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Please note that their food is made fresh and the cost is only a recommendation since you give what you can but they only ask cash or check. There is a ATM around the corner but it's best to come with cash in the pocket as it's so worth it. So the next time you are anywhere near the area on the weekends and want a great breakfast you have to go but get there early as there may be a line since the service and food is that damn good.

Check out all the gilded frames, antique oil paintings, and fancy furniture! This is such a great place to come and relax, hang out and admire the decorations, and enjoy decadent Belgian food. The Belgian waffles are handmade there. They're so good that they could eaten dry, but why do that when they offer Nutella or strawberries. The mousse has been a long favorite of mine. It's rich, smooth, creamy, fulfilling. My only complaint about this place is that they only offer Neuhaus Chocolate as their sole Belgian chocolate. There's so many good ones, but I wish they'd offer Leonidas. It's worth mentioning that the imported Belgian chocolates are the only things that they're serving that they didn't make there on site.

The meal is spent looking down and hoping my beloved or other guests don't see the schmear up to my nose. By the end, we are having to reconstruct our bagel, as it looks like roadkill on the table. It is not a user error, as we eat slowly and carefully. I even have friends who refuse to come back here because it was the messiest eating experience of their lives. It's so unbelievably messy. We have to rinse off in their bathroom before leaving. I have to take my rings off and put my hair up. It's a commitment, one we are not strong enough to make at this point. Delicious, but.... we must bid you farewell, Boss Bagel. Godspeed.
