There are many flavors available, but be sure to get there as early as possible because popular flavors are gone quickly and you can be left with some odd choices. My daughter likes to get the root beer and then add the cream on top so it's like a frozen root beer float. I love to get the POG, which for those not in the know is short for Pineapple, Orange, Guava, a popular flavor in the islands. The sizes are generous, and be careful if you go for that big one, because it's VERY large. They do bring along some seating, but it's usually full. There's plenty of curbs to sit on though.

She had just closed up shop for the season when my daughter approached her. She offered to open things back up and make us 4 sno-cones (for my daughter, her friend, myself, and my wife) - free of charge. It meant so much to us, especially since this was the first season that I can remember where we didn't get one sno-cone. For Marianna, her business is more than just making a living. She truly cares about people and it showed that night.

I very much appreciated all of the size options, the 8oz was perfect for our littles and were less than $5 each. The very fine texture of the ice was appreciated, melt in your mouth and not a lot of chewing required! We got the royal princess and a more tropical vibe one. I wish I had pictures but we were all too excited to enjoy them! There were also games available to play that other families were enjoying. One note- be on island time... the shaved ice machine is small, and with a couple families ahead of us it took a while to get to our treats. Worth the wait!

Momo Bing is located inside the Coark Collective Food Hall in Aurora…read more After you have decided on what you want, you order & pay at the Food Hall entrance. You will be given a receipt with your order number, or you can give them a name for your order. Then, you can go grab a table while you wait. You need to keep a close eye on the screen. Not all vendors will call out your number or name. Momo Bing's staff was calling out orders, and that was nice! When you see your number or name on the screen, it is time for you to go to the vendor to pick up your food. This business is one of the busier shops. Who doesn't like teas, dumplings, & Bingsu?? I got the Mango Bingsu. The shaved ice cream is so fluffy and creamy. The mango pieces were diced nice and tiny. Most were a little too green for me. I think they use green mangoes because they're more tart & offset the sweetness of the ice cream. It probably isn't so healthy, but I like the sweeter mangoes. I love that they don't skimp on the fruit! The Shaved Ice Cream aka Bingsu is enough for 2 people. Alas, I was alone, so I did the best I could! I ate all the ice cream and put the extra fruit pieces in a cup to take home. I will enjoy it later. Their tea drinks look refreshing! I probably won't be trying them on my next visit because I am committed to trying a new drink at the other tea place here. If I visit again after that, I might try that Honeydew Milk Tea. The Mango Bingsu was certainly a fine ending to my lunch!

I've tried several and they're all so good it's tough to pick a favorite - real green tea with red bean paste? Mango cheesecake? Monster cookies & cream? Or the special Dubai chocolate? You really can't go wrong. The mini sulbing is good for an individual, the regular size is great for sharing! The fish buns are also highly recommended. It's a bit impersonal in that you don't have to interact with anyone at all - order at the kiosk and when your order is ready, your order number will appear on the board - ready to pick up your tray for dine-in or bag for a to-go order.

When we got outside, the parking lot was packed and we could see plenty of people and a food truck, there was definitely an event going on We learned it was an event for a K-pop band with vendors and food Set up there to bring people in. There was a pretty good line since it was so packed, we used the online ordering kiosk and got one of their "snows" - snow bowls. Although the most popular are the strawberry and mango, I decided to try the black sesame as it is my personal fave. We also got it with an extra side of condensed milk, which really made a difference and amped up the texture and flavor. It was pretty good, it came with a mochi and frozen red bean paste, almonds, and plenty of shaved ice. It was a giant bowl, too much for two people even, and we took the rest of it home. Surprisingly, it was even better later on when the snow had turned into more of a gelato texture. At nearly $20 for the bowl it's no steal, but it was a nice treat, and I'm happy to say that I've tried it.

This cute dessert…read morespot has lots of great seating available and they seem to be fine with folks hanging around with friends. They have a wide variety of options on their menu- we had the taiyaki in a cup and and snow bowl. Some positives and mild negatives for me. For the taiyaki, there are only two options for flavor- matcha or milk tea. There are quite a few filling flavors available. I got the milk tea with Nutella filling and topped with mini Oreos. It was delicious, but not the best I've had. My husband got the Snow Bowl- I tried a few bites and it was delicious! I may have to make that my next foodie showdown. There were some odd restrictions around whether or not you can eat the to go in the building and they lock that bag down to ensure that I guess. Since it is such a large portion of the dessert, seems like it would make sense to have it to go in case you can't finish it. Just feels like an unnecessary restriction. The snow bowls are amazing though! We got the mango and it was gloriously refreshing- told my fella it would be used to bribe me any day of the week. It would be cool if there were different sizes though because the serving is probably enough for several people or one person for multiple sittings- like a small, med, mega situation would be cool. Some ups and down, but I definitely wouldn't turn down another visit to Snowl!

It definitely was a little pricier than I expected and only offered one size. $6.50 for the smoothie with boba. I got the mango strawberry flavor with boba. I should have asked for less boba as it's not really my thing, coz there was a ton! I feel like it takes me way too long to eat/drink it when there's that many boba inside. Hubby got the three berry smoothie with boba and drank it all up pretty fast! He really liked it. And our son tried the mango smoothie with Boba but didn't really like the boba which is why I wish more sizes were offered.

Slushees: mango, strawberry, and watermelon slushees with popping strawberry and mango. Mango and strawberry were good, but watermelon was too sweet for my taste buds. The pops are fun while they burst in your mouth. Milk teas: regular and honeydew. The regular milk tea was a bit bland. The honeydew was well balanced, not too sweet. The Korean waffles are filled with chocolate or red bean. Tried both, fresh and hot. Pretty tasty, I actually enjoyed the red bean more. This could easily be a 4 star if their service was quicker and friendlier. It was a Saturday afternoon and there was only 1 employee. The line was long. She had to take and complete each order at a time before she took the next order. So the service was slow. I tipped her because she worked hard, but there was no "hi... thank you..." just took our order and that was it.
