Yesterday was such a special day celebrating our son's amazing performance at his tournament! After…read morepho with the family, he specifically asked to go to Below Zero Shaved Ice in Upland for his favorite treat. We pulled up at 11:30, super excited... only to find they now open at 12. The owner came out right away and chatted with us. When we explained we were there straight from the tournament to celebrate our boy, he didn't hesitate--he made him a fresh snow cone on the spot (even though they weren't officially open yet!) and gave us a punch card so we can come back soon. In a world that can feel rushed, this small act of kindness meant the world to us. It turned a little disappointment into the sweetest memory. Thank you to the wonderful family behind at below zero shavedice for your big hearts and for making our celebration even better. We'll be back soon--your shaved ice is the best around! Support local, support kindness!

I really love Shaved Ice and Thrifty Ice Cream, this place has both…read more On the menu #3 is a combo. They explained that they put ice cream in the cup first, add shaved ice, then put MORE ice cream on top. I ordered a "small," it was plentiful. A large would be too much (in my opinion). The flavor I chose was "Big Stick," which is cherry and pineapple. It was fantastic! For 95 cents more you can add a topping (sprinkles, condensed milk, Oreo cookie crumbs, etc.). There isn't any seating inside, although there is room at the right of the entrance for a table or countertop with barstools. Come by and enjoy your treats, similar to the ones from the Hawaiian Islands! Sincerely, Rosemary

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!

The owner that I met a few months ago was nice and attentive - however, when I called in today, one…read moreof the female employees felt rather rude as if my calling them was very annoying to them (before I even asked anything). She also was not familiar with the way I said the location's name where I said "tra boba" and she responded that "no, this is t-r-a boba and snacks". She couldn't even confirm the location being next to HK bbq, basically saying she doesn't know her own neighboring store. Overall was turned off by the experience and changed my boba plans to buy elsewhere. Maybe I'll come back when someone else more pleasant is working.

Okay, I posted that original review because I came in nearly every day for like half a year and it…read morewas great. Everyone who worked there used to be so nice and attentive. Their music was tasteful but trendy, and never too loud. The snacks were an occasional treat but SO GOOD, and the drinks were consistent. I always thought they were pricey, but I was paying for a nice ambiance, good service, consistent drinks and food, and guaranteed seats! But unfortunately Trà has gone down! They increased prices, added food that was NOT developed or tasted before rolling out, and they play weird loud chanting music the times I have been back. I have ordered the vietnamese coffee before, but recently it was watery when I received it and not full. My other favorite drink, passionfruit tea half sweet, is never going to be the same again. Every time I try to go back, it's inconsistent and ultimately not worth it anymore. I used to LOVE this place and I'm heartbroken. The nail in the coffin has been making the grave mistake of relying on my memory and ordering the popcorn chicken. Picture attached and speaks for itself! You are now better off going to Boba Tea House for your popcorn chicken and drinks.

Best açaí spot in the entire world!…read more I found this place through positive reviews, and it did not disappoint. I ordered the açaí superfruit bowl, and it came loaded with toppings at no extra cost--unlike other places that charge about $1 per topping, which makes this well worth the price. Everything tasted incredibly fresh and delicious. I especially enjoyed the cocoa nibs, almonds, granola, fresh açaí, and fruit. The owner was very kind, sweet, professional, and quick. The interior was clean, spacious, and comfortable, with plenty of seating and a nice, cool atmosphere. Highly recommend giving this place a try--easily a 10/10, 5 stars!

Hidden gem alert in Upland!!…read more My husband and I tried hot pot for the very first time, and let me tell you... we were completely confused at first! Thankfully, the staff was beyond incredible. To make our first visit even more special, they surprised us with complimentary appetizer samples and shaved ice! (Both were delicious) Such a thoughtful touch that made us feel so welcomed. We ordered the miso broth with beef, dumplings, and tons of fresh veggies, plus a green tea to go with it and WOW! Everything was absolutely delicious, fresh, and so comforting. I'm already planning my next visit because I have to try the spicy broth! As if the amazing food wasn't enough, they even had the World Cup playing, which made the atmosphere even more fun! From the welcoming vibes to the outstanding staff and amazing food, everything was a perfect 10/10. If you haven't checked this place out yet, do yourself a favor and go! This is truly one of Upland's hidden gems, and we'll definitely be back again and again! I wish I could give more stars!
