| - Wow, my fellow Yelpers are harsh to my sweet Kuma Snow Cream.
Like a modern gal in 2013, I saw a bunch of my friends and fellow foodies posting crazy looking concoctions from a crazy named place. The namesake had me even more provoked, because let's face it, to my white girl eyes, it sounds like a name that got lost in perverted translation.
First, this store is stark white with a bright popping blue and green. If Hello Kitty's brother had a room, I am pretty sure it would look like Kuma.
The best way to describe Kuma, is to say it's kind of like a Cold Stone. You have a few put together combos or you can build your own with a variety of fresh and awesome toppers.
So, what is snow cream... They have various flavors (and ask to sample, I had no idea what taro was, it was pretty and purply and I had to sample it. It's a root and it is lightly sweet and a great base) and you can intermix them. I think the owner/chef maker here reads reviews because they have new flavors that are natural. The new strawberry is light and I got to sample VEGAN grapefruit. AMAZING! Snow Cream is like a big brick and instead of scooping it, it is shaved. It's basically sliced ice cream (much like Dippin' Dots is little balls of ice cream). After you choose your base, you add on candies, mochi, fruits, and/or cookies. Then you top it off with a sauce, I recommend condense milk. It's heaven.
So, I adore Kuma. It's a different texture and a fun little spin on the traditional ice cream shop. Customer service is excellent as well.
They also have a punch card system for every 10 orders, you get one free!
I will be KUMA-ing to Kuma frequently.
