Snowy Village

I was so excited to finally try this places bingsu, knowing it's one of my favorite desserts! But overall I was pretty disappointed with the outcome. It was about 9pm one night, and I was craving something sweet and delicious so I decided to finally try this place out. It wasn't busy at all, with there only being one other person in the shop. You have to ordeer through a screen which I found a little annoying knowing certain customizations can't be made. But the inside was small, and pretty clean and the workers were kind.Bingsu takes a while to be made knowing there's a lot of component's, but it took over 10 minutes. After it was made they brought it out and it was a pretty decent portion for 2+ people. The presentation was beautiful, but the taste was not there. It had no flavor though I got light sugar I still expected a little bit more. All the toppings were great, but the shaved ice itself was terrible. I also think the prices were pretty high even given the portions and quality. Overall this place is fine, but I think other places definitely have better bingsu.

As you walk in you've got the option to order through the self checkout kiosk which I love! I like being able to see the pictures of the menu. The inside is a little small based on how busy it gets but with this beautiful weather I've been taking advantage of the outside seating. Best Bingsu I've ever had, hands down. I've been back twice in a week now. I got both the cheesecake bingsu and the berry bingsu. WOW. The ice is so soft and perfectly sweet, the toppings are on top, and the bottom so it's not to much ice once you get through the top toppings. My friend loved the fruity pebbles, the flavor + the crunchiness, SO GOOD. Now the taiyaki, it was definitely different, the breading is more of a crossaint cheewy outside then the normal waffley bread I usually get. That being said, I didn't hate them, the cheese one was actyallly great, it was like eating a grilled cheese. THE NUTELLA TAIYAKI NEEDS A WARNING!!! I took the first bite and it absolutely burnt the SHIT out of my mouth. The Nutella was scolding hot and I had no warning of it. I tongue was burnt all week, and if you've gone through that it's painful.... It was good but not worth the pain. Overall 5/5

Fresh fruits, creamy milky snow, variety of topping all available! Seating is a bit limited but most folks eat quickly . Parking is limited as it shares a lot with other popular businesses including boiling point . Very tasty, perfect for a summer evening.

Small cafe with room for about 20 people inside. You order on the touch screen display and you receive a number on your receipt to pick up your order. Bingsoo here is made with milk and so the "shaved ice" is fluffy, soft, and melts on your tongue like when you catch snowflakes in your mouth. The fruit bingsoos seemed to be popular and the injeolmi flavor as well. I got the smallest size (Lite) and it was about $7-8 which was a perfect single serving. If you're lactose intolerant I'd recommend you take a lactaid beforehand!!

Yummy bingsoo! The flavor of the ice is sweet and refreshing, the mochi is chewy, and the red bean compliments it all. I also like that there are more size options compared to a year ago. You order on a self serve tablet and then have to grab a table. Every time I've gone, its pretty packed so its sometimes hard to get a table.

Always a good time when I come here! Theres a parking lot put front. Seating is limited. 6 tables! The bingsoo is always very yummy. I've tried the strawberry and injeolmi. The single size is big! The shaved ice is powdery and the whipped cream is good! Very delicious and I come here often!

We recently tried snow village and we loved it so much, the place was very clean, the owners were so nice and they even allowed a service dog to stay inside the place. They close pretty late which was a great option too for our friends! We love the place and what we like about it was that the desserts were not too sweet! The place was packed also for a cold winter night but we didn't mind waiting. The owners were really nice and answered all our questions too! We love this place and will definitely come back!

I can't believe it took me this long to finally try Snowy Village! Whenever I've thought about coming here for dessert, the restaurant is always so packed I always say 'next time'.When you come inside, you are greeted with a massive tablet to place your order through (you don't actually talk to anyone to place an order so make sure you know what you want or don't have any questions). I was a bit overwhelmed with all the options they had, but we finally decided on the Oreo and the Strawberry shaved ice.The shaved ice here in general is so finely shaved, fluffy, and soft. Between our party (5 adults, 1 toddler), we ordered the regular sizes of both the Oreo and the Strawberry. Normally I'm not a fan of ordering Oreo flavored anything (I don't like my desserts overly sweet), but their Oreo shaved ice wasn't nearly as sweet as it was, to my surprise! The Strawberry was more to my liking in general because I love me some fruit. In other shaved ice places, we typically order a side of condensed milk but I'm really glad we didn't do that as neither shaved ice orders really needed it.I will definitely be coming back here to satisfy my shaved ice cravings!

After seeing a movie, two friends and I came to Snowy Village to grab dessert! Apparently, many others had the same idea as It was packed at 10:00P on a summer Saturday. I've actually never had Korean shaved ice (bingsoo) before, so this was something to cross off my list! There were a couple groups in front of us, but once we reached the self-order screen, we selected one bingsoo (they were sadly out of the mango flavor) and some taiyaki, then stepped outside to wait. Luckily, we got an outdoor table belonging to the neighboring Xian Noodles which was closed by that time. Considering the crowd, our order was ready pretty quickly after about 10 minutes. + STRAWBERRY BINGSOO ($14.99, regular size): The shaved ice itself was so fine and powdery with a very subtle vanilla-ish flavor. Since it's made up of 100% milk and condensed milk, it is fairly creamy as it melts in your mouth, however, it doesn't have much taste on its own. The strawberry swirls and fresh strawberries added most of the flavor and sweetness. I found the sweetness level to be just right and this was a pretty refreshing dessert overall. The bingsoo came topped with an excessive amount of whipped cream on top, but I'm definitely not complaining about that!+ TAIYAKI (3 for $13.50): I only tried the red bean taiyaki, whereas my friends got the custard and Nutella. Instead of the typical pancake-like batter that comprises most taiyakis, these were similar to a flaky croissant! It was so crispy, light and piping hot inside. I enjoyed the red bean filling which gushed out as I bit into it. It contained whole beans rather than being a paste. This was a delicious way to end the evening! I would say the "regular" size bingsoo is perfect for two people to split, but the three of us were satisfied after splitting one since we each also ate a taiyaki. When looking around, most tables ordered two or three different bowls of bingsoo and shared them. The price point is a little high for a bowl of icy milk with fruit, but it was tasty and satisfied our sweet tooths!

The name of this cafe is so fitting because the bingsu texture was so soft and powdery and it really felt like eating snow! For anyone not familiar with bingsu/bingsoo, it's a milk-based Korean shaved ice dessert and there are a variety of toppings you can add like fruit, condensed milk and more. Because it's made out of dairy and sugar, the texture is much more fluffier than traditional shaved ice. It's a little pricey - around $35ish for our order - but the portions are really shareable (we got 2 large portions to share with 5 friends!) Overall, the cafe was super cute and aesthetic and our order came out quickly. Bingsu is really refreshing on a summer night. But it does get busy on Friday nights and I noticed there was a wait for people that came when my friends and I were leaving around 10ish because there's limited seating - so do plan for that!
