If you have a sweet tooth i would recommend to check this spot out. To the frozen treats you can eat and to the drinks you can order anything is sure to satisfy your craving. The macaroons i had ordered were really good, as i should of ordered more and as well as the strawberry lemonade. Cant wait to come back and try some more.
Visiting from tampa, definitely a touristy experience. Cotton candy with my tea drink was fun. The cotton candy was gone before the tea was, of corse. Macarons come with a scoop of icecream, but asked for it separately, so I could eat the macarons later. Total Sugar high, but absolutly worth the experience.
Snow Monster is incredibly flavorful! Snow Monster is located on Bolsa Ave in Westminster, CA. A little quaint place facing out towards the street, but with cramped seating. Theyre famously known for their tasty sweet treats! Such as; Shaved Snow, Ice Cream, Ice Cream Cookie Sandwiches, and Freshly Baked Cookies.Snow Monster products are made from scratch with wholesome ingredients. They also donate a portion of their proceeds to non profit organizations as a way of giving back to the community. They specialize in authentic Taiwanese shaved snow that takes them 16 hours to produce the perfect fluffy ribbon consistency.As we walked in, the girl at the cash register greeted us and immediately helped us with our order. We ordered half Coconut Cream and Mango Shave Snow with Mochi and Passion Fruit bits, with Condense Milk poured on top. When the server brought out the tray with our dessert, we all dug in with full force! It was deliciously light and creamy and melted instantly in our mouths!One of the waitress was super friendly, and offered us strawberry water -- which was literally water that was light tint of pink, from actual strawberries in it. The next server even asked us if we wanted seat cushions or blankets. Overall, our experience at Snow Monster was welcoming and I love their sweet treats!
Ive been on my quest trying different boba places and or the modern day ice cream. If you have a sweet tooth I recommend their ice cream. (To sweet for my taste buds) but their boba aint bad, I give it at 3 out of five but had to provide an extra star for the staff 😊😊😊. Very friendly and sweet. Ill be back for my refil sometime. Cheers.
The concept behind this place is pretty simple - macaron ice cream sandwiches. But they also serve other drinks too. The place was clean with a cute modern aesthetic. We ordered a couple of the macaron ice cream sandwiches, which allowed for a good amount of customization for both parts. The macarons were well made and were very tasty with the ice cream.
The barista here is super nice!! And the drinks are really good 🤗
Really cute store, cute milk tea jar, cute cotton candy desserts. Consistent service is all I can say about Snow Monster. I like to hang out at this store for its well management of the store.The logo is everywhere: from the jars to the wall, the billboards sets the theme for the store. Lovely!
Best place I have ever been to. There was only one employee there but he was fast and friendly. Love coming here!
After seeing so many posts about their bottles and drinks, I wanted to drop by since we were in the area.I had my mind set on purchasing a drink in their Mason jar with the cloud. At the last time minute, I decided on just getting a Thai Tea drink. The cloud (cotton candy) would have been too much sugar.The drink came in a nice Mason jar with the Snow Monster logo and the California printed on the jar. The Thai tea tasted really good, not too sweet.The store was small but nicely decorated. Its a great place to hangout to have a drink or dessert.
Great sweets...... I love the sweetness of every product they serve! Love the ambiance of the place!
I was just passing by. Never actually buying anything from that place. So I dont really know about the service they got to offer.
This place is very great. Staff is friendly and polite. Tea is amazing and desserts are very tasty. Excellent prices. Nice atmosphere. Highly recommend.
Great looking place. Great customer service, had a sample or horchata and coffee, But the drink i ordered was not that great compared to other places. If they make the drinks more flavorful then i would give them 5 stars for now 4 will do.
Great atmosphere and tasty food. I loved the ice cream sandwiches and the drinks. The cashier was very friendly and helped a lot.
Love the Taro milk tea so good wish I remembered to take a picture but it was just so good
Great dessert place. The portions are pretty huge, so dont be shy to share with a group. They make everything to order so there is a wait, but it is definitely worth it!
I wanted to be a dessert monster and stopped here for a quick drink. The place is in front of a large shopping center so theres parking in the back. The location is tiny, but they do have all the drinks and ice cream macarons. The place was empty and there was only one worker making the orders. The good thing it wasnt packed, so I didnt have to wait long for my drink. I ordered a small honey milk tea with boba. The drink was good, and it didnt taste bland. It was refreshing on a hot day. As other Snow Monsters there is always cold water available when you need it for the sugar overload.
ETCHED MASON JARS ARE IN! Made this place x10 better. Love the walls and the service. The teas were really sweet, but their water dispenser solved that easily.
They dont have snow anymore very disappointed other wise pretty standard trendy tea/coffee shop
Best Shaved Ice Cream! Extra Fluffy! Atmosphere is welcoming and customer service is Great! Highly Recommended if you are in the mood for some ice cream!
I used to go to this place often for their Thai tea ice cream since it was the best place throughout the southern california area to get it until they discontinued it 2 years ago which was disappointing. Then after awhile their thai tea started to get more and more bitter and not good anymore. This place disappoints me.
Very interesting. Cute concept. Macaroon ice cream sandwich.
I use to love this place. I would bring my family on a regular basis. The menu and the setup of the whole place changed. I basically paid $20.00 for 3 individual small scoups of ice cream. Customer service is a joke, no point of coming back. I think they are going the cheap route and cutting back is every aspect of service / quality.
Excellent lavender lemonade, mocha latte, chocolate chip oreo stuffed cookie, and brown butter ice cream. Very very good service.
Fantastic Gluten Free desserts. And the drinks are lovely. Housecrafted ice cream is flavorful. Wish they had iced coffee...
Small hole in the wall. Ice cream is delicious. Globe cups are cute...definitely recommend it
The desserts come in a variety of different flavors for both the macs and ice cream. A bit too sweet and sugary. Portions are average, so was the service. Definitely overly hyped.
Great selection of ice cream macaroons and teas. You can pay extra for the jar. The spoons change color when exposed to the cold.
The macarons ice cream is delicious. I love the monsters glass jar that the drinks come with. Macarons are perfect on their own, with ice cream, its a little sweet. Depending on the hours, this place gets pretty packed.
Quick service, boba and tea were really good. They customized the sweetness for us too
Yummy and beautiful drinks! Staff is amazing also.
The macaroons are great the guy cashier not so much. But overall everything on the menus great.
Loved our ice cream and drinks will come back for sure Everytime we visit California
The macaron ice cream is delicious, and the service is very nice, I like red velvet flavor for the ice cream although their signature is the coffee Oreo :)
The drinks are fun and good but they would not allow me to wait 30 minutes before Boba without charging me double the price
No more shaved ice, which was their high point. Ice cream is subpar, unfortunately.I do remember their drinks being yummy.
It was nice little set up, the staff was friemdly amd they are also very fast as well.
It doesnt even have snow anymore :(. Ice cream is ok. Macaroons were good imo
Service was nice. Paid 9 bucks for a drink though. Got the glass lightbulb.
So crowded during the weekends. Ick plus the store is really tiny.I ordered a Taro shaved snow with mochi and strawberries and condensed milk. It was nice and subtle; not too sweet but not too plain. Regular shaved snow can feed two people. It sucks they dont have the entire menu on the wall to read or pass out some menus for people in the line
They have shrunk their portion/cup sizes. No big variety of flavors and toppings anymore and thats why no crowd anymore either
Unique drinks... fun place... need to try once
Very very good. My childen loved
This place is cute. The Thai tea here tastes delicious.
It was my 1st time nice clean place must try oreo cookie with Columbian coffee icecream.
Cool spot...tasty macaron ice cream sandwiches...very IG worthy desserts
Good drinks, a little slow service
Kids and I loved the giant macaroon with ice cream, but I really dislike their prices.
The ice creams 🍦 are amazing and the drinks🍹 are referring!
Always quick service and the drinks and food always comes out perfect.
My personal fab is their honey milk tea ☕.
Decent ice cream, but nothing special for the prices.
The guy with the glasses was hot lol definitely come for the guy and the drink again❤️
Awesome boba drink options with fun options
Friggin awesome place. Fast service for our group. Excellect!
Really cool place to go but always packed when I go. Really small store so service is kinda slow and its hard to find a seat with little seating that they offer.
The ice cream sandwiches and drinks are amazing here
Delicious deserts, dont forget to get the custom lightbulb cup with cotton candy..
The Churro Macaroon Sandwich with Almond Mocha Fudge was very delicious.
Best place for teenagers to meet their friends and having ice cream
Browned butter + toffee ice cream sandwich with churro macarons!!
Great food and great prices. What more can you ask for
Had fun with jenga and chill place to chat.
Great place for boba drinks and macaron ice cream sandwiches.
Their strawberry lemonade is to die for. Love this place!!
Its so good and at a great price.😋😋
Great drinks and super friendly staff
Slow service. Drink is blab
Delicious! The cookies are so soft and sweet and pair so well with the creamy ice cream. Will def be telling people about this place
Im not too excited about Snow Monster. I love the fact that they are trying to be more sustainable by using mason jar for future refills. It is an extra $2 for the mason jar and I cant tell if they are following the trend of mason jars or genuinely want people to refill their jars in the future. It is a great idea nevertheless.My friends loved their drinks and thought it was pretty good with good tea flavor. I thought my thai tea was way too sweet. We compared our thai tea and mine was a lot lighter in color. Boba is ok in texture but doesnt have much taste. You can customize your macaroon ice cream sandwich from their good selection of macaroons and ice cream. I didnt try it this time but I wouldnt mind coming back to give it another try.
I came all the way from LA just to see what the hype is about this place. I was not disappointed. They have really good tasting boba. It was soft and chewy. I got the thai tea boba and the size that they give you is pretty big. If you pay extra more dollars you can get the bobas in mason jars for you to take home. And if you live there locally or just happen to pass by, you can bring those mason jars again and theyll fill it up for a regular size boba so its a good deal. They also serve other boba flavors. This place does get busy so if you dont want to wait that long line, make sure you come during there down times.
No snow anymore. They dont serve their namesake. Just a bunch of drinks and a few macarons
One of my best place of going there
Located next door to a popular pho location, Snow Monster is a milk tea/ice cream sandwich chain (there are currently 4 that I know of off the top of my head in Irvine, Huntington Beach, and Long Beach).I personally find the drinks a bit too sweet for my taste. Almost to the point as if they intentionally spilled extra sugar in their drinks. If their sugar had a volume rocker, itd be at like 13 of 10.Their Macron Ice Cream Sandwiches are good though. They are soft/chewy/tasty goodness. Too bad they dont sell them as just plain macarons. Theyd do much better since not everyone wants ice cream.I tried the strawberry macaron with the vanilla ice cream, but wound up giving the ice cream to someone else. Their green tea milk latte was ok. their thai ice tea was ok, had to send it back cause i asked for less sugar and they didnt adjust.
O-M-G.This place definitely knows what theyre doing! I went for the very first time this weekend and was instantly intrigued to try one of their macaroon ice cream sandwiches. Me and my partner both created our own interesting concoction of a sandwich (mine: churro macaroon w/ coffee ice cream his: fruity pebble macaroon with taro ice cream) and fell in love. We got a mason jar ($2 more from base drink price of $3.90) to share and even the jasmine milk tea was sweetened perfectly. The ambiance really adds to the whole experience as well since they have Jenga & UNO on the side for you to play and hangout with friends. I will definitely be coming back again with my mason jar to refill!
I LOVE their jar refills. SUCH A BARGAIN!
A great place for ice cream and drinks
WA WA WEE WAH! Ive found new food crushes!Shaved snow & Belgian waffles a la mode!After meeting up for some KBBQ, we all decided that we needed something sweet. But.....I thought I was sweet? :( But, I digress.....Monique recommended we drive a few blocks to Snow Monster. To me, it was more like Snow Nirvana.Ive never had shaved snow before, so I left it to Mo as to what we should have.Mango shaved snow w/ lychee poppers, fruit jelly etc.Peanut Butter shaved snow w/ Cinnamon Toast Crunch etc.These were smooth & velvety. Didnt seem like ice, at all. The portions were huge & enough to share for 9 people. Mango gets the nod for me over the Peanut Butter, but both were amazing!Belgian waffles a la mode…Sweet, sinful & diet-busting! Ice cream is always good, but the waffle was the star, here. So very good! One of us was a waffle snob, and she gave high praise for the ones at Snow Monster. If all this wasnt enough, she also ordered another waffle & the mother of all hot chocolatesKathy, the owner, was uber-friendly & hospitable. She didnt mind my plethora of questions regarding their menu. Everything is made fresh, no powders or fake stuff. She let me sample their seasonal pumpkin ice cream & their green tea ice cream. The place isnt too big, but managed to accomodate us. The dining area, along with the restroom, were clean. Games are available to pass the time, like Jenga. If they had Hungry Hungry Hippos, it wouldbe been on!I loved everything I had the pleasure to sample! What a way to cap the night. As General Douglas MacArthur told the Filipinos in WWII, I shall return!Highly recommend!NOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOM
Overall: 3.5 starsCheck out this place if youre in Little Saigon area & after a late night dinner you feel like you want dessert / something sweet to get a good sugar high to end your night =)But then you realize that most of the dessert places are closed because its Little Saigon & for some reason more than 1/2 of the places here close by 9 PM??Low & behold, this place opens until 12 midnight =) I do hope that there will be other places that are similar to this to open up & stay open late for the younger crowds to hangout & have fun =)Green tea shaved ice w/ lychee & Mochi toppings & condensed milk drizzled on top.2 stars ( I was not impressed)Regular is on the small size compared to other places like Snow station/ Tastea =(Green tea flavor was kinda bland too. =(Macaron ice cream sandwich: Strawberry Macaron w/ Pistachio ice cream in the middle. 3 stars for mostly the ice cream, the macaron turned cold because of the ice cream & didnt add much to the ice cream, I would have preferred having the ice cream alone by itself.Mint chocolate chip Ice cream w/ Vanilla waffle & whipped cream: 4 starsThis was the best of the 2 orders.. =) The waffle complemented the ice cream ;-)Thai Tea: 4 starsGreat creamy flavor, better with no ice & whipped cream. =)Jasmine milk Tea: 3 starsNot enough Jasmine flavor in this, more milky than anything =(Strawberry lemonade: 3 starsToo much lemonade & sour taste, needs more of strawberry flavor =(Service: slow, they need to hire more waiters/ waitresses to handle the long lines during late nights. They also should turn on the AC, it starts to get hot inside the store with so many bodies inside. -2Seating: 1st come, 1st serve. They need to add more tables somewhere to handle the crowds.Tip: Drinks: Mason jar deal: if you buy the jar, the next time you can bring the jar in for a discount on your drink. =) great idea.
Place was great. But its too small and crowded
The churro macarons with horchata ice cream are my go to!
Excellent ice cream, the staff was friendly and gave good advise.
A very cute dessert place.
