    Absolutely amazing!! Definitely try this out! You can choose from several combinations that are already have the flavors and toppings decided or you can build your own. You choose between a hill or a mountain size. I played it smart and ordered a hill size and built my own- got salted caramel ice, drizzled with caramel and condensed milk and added m&m's. The way the ice is shaved makes it creamy like a lighter version of ice cream. It did not melt too quickly either. Service was helpful and offered suggestions. Super cute vibe on the inside!

    It was so busy at 9:10 pm. The parking lot is big enough so that was good. Inside, every table was full so we waited to togos got their items and left to sit at a table. We watch three people get play their claw game, only one was successful at getting something after three tries (the bigger machine that is $2 per play). I got a large drink and man, it was large!!! And only $5.50!!!! Wow. The drink was ok but not the best drink ever. I was come back here.

    Brown Sugar milk tea and strawberry ice with almonds, strawberries, banana, whip cream and condensed milk drizzle

    The shaved ice was pretty yummy being creamier than I expected. The milk tea was the bomb. We got the brown sugar milk tea. I would definitely come back for the milk tea. The staff were very polite as well. The lady at the counter explained that they were out of some items so she told me what they did have available after I asked. The store is on the smaller side but it looks cool on the inside. They also have a few booths/tables if you're trying to stay for a little. I really wanted to try the vanilla ice so I'll definitely come back again!

    Love the convenience of this location, it is a bit small but doesn't seem to be crowded. The shave ice is served on a plate if you get it for here and in a cup if you get it to go. I would t get it in a cup as i noticed it gets pretty squished down. Service was quick and wonderful!! The shave ice is flavorful and fresh.

    We've only ever had the shaved ice, but we love it every time. We always go back because the ice is unbelievably smooth, there's never any worries about ice chunks and the texturetexture is just unbeatable. The toppings are solid and the employees are friendly.

    The Mountain
    Ardara H.

    Ordered the the Mountain - coffee, almond, condensed milk and chocolate topping. The Associate was extremely pleasant and well paced. She presented a smile and sparky disposition. The ambiance is laid back and chill. The kids enjoyed the claw machines as much as the treats.

    Pretty good desserts and drinks place! We tried their shaved ice and a coffee boba drink. Both were delicious and refreshing. They were busy, but our order came out pretty quickly. Service was fast and friendly!

    Service was great, shaved ice cream was delicious but I suggest you share, they're big portions. The place was cute and clean.

    Jasmine milk tea with lychee jelly

    Good for the price you are paying for boba. Haven't seen a place this affordable in a while. Had the jasmine milk tea with lychee jelly and it tasted pretty good, but not the best I've had compared to Cali. But once again this is great value for the price you are paying.

    This place is so good! You get a lot for the cost and the orders come out quickly. We tried 3 different flavors and they were all tasty.

    My aunt and cousins came from out of town and really wanted shaved ice. We were debating whether it was worth it to go all the way in bellaire when I found this place! First impressions: The area gets super packed depending on the time and day you're going. It's right next to oh my Gogi (one of my fave food places) and spotlight karaoke that gets packed on the weekends and nights. We came during the day and there were only 30min parking spaces available for us. Service: Servers were very friendly and our drinks/shaved ice came out pretty fast. Food/Drinks: I got the Vietnamese iced coffee. It was okay, not my favorite, but it wasn't bad. I think the real saving grace here is the shaved ice. You're able to customize it to your liking and it tastes pretty good. We went for two chocolate type ones and were pretty satisfied (these are smalls btw). Definitely would come back, especially since I live super close!

    Green tea (hill sized) shaved ice with toppings

    I was looking for dessert place to end my day after running a bunch if errands and this was the perfect way to end it. The locations is in one of the more crowded plazas, but I went on a weekday so it wasn't so bad. The service was quick and friendly. The portions were just right and it satisfied my sweet tooth. I walked in and filled out the slip of paper with the type of shaved ice I wanted and toppings and like I said the service was really quick and friendly. It is a bit retro looking and the seats do look worn and the place really look like they've been here a while. However, that said, it was moderately clean overall. Just about as soon I finished filling out the form and sat down, it was maybe less than five minutes that I got my order. I got a hill sized portion of shaved ice and yeah! The shaved ice was really stacked! The ice was very soft like snow and not icy at all and the toppings were perfect. It somehow ended not being too sweet which I was honestly surprised by, and the mochi was just the right amount of softness/chew. I had fun eating the dish and it was really yummy. If you're looking for nice cold treat, quick service, and are around the area, I would recommend you give it a try!

    I stopped by on a weeknight. There was plenty of parking in the lot. It wasn't too crowded and service was friendly. I ordered the mango smoothie and added protein powder. The portion size was generous, but otherwise I wasn't a fan. The protein powder had a strong flavor. I would recommend either using less protein powder or using a different brand.

    Hello, are there any vegan options for the ice dessert?

    We have a mango sorbet ice which is completely free of dairy. Also we have tons of teas and slushies which are vegan free!

    Can we regulate the ice and sugar?like request to put half sugar and half ice

    For almost all drinks you can do half sugar, regular sugar or extra sweet. Also half ice is an option avails le too!

    Are there any flavors other than mango sorbet that are dairy free?

    Currently mango sorbet is the only completely fairy free option. If it's a lactose concern however, all our shaved ice flavors are very light and since we started selling ice, we have not had anyone complain of any adverse reactions. Thank you and… Read more

The interior of the space feels very high end, although they don't have a lot of seating. It's more of a place for grabbing a drink to go rather than hanging out with friends.

They work fairly quickly, even during busy times! Iced triple supreme matcha latte: for the matcha lovers who love foam and toppings! The mochi is soft and warm (I wasn't a big fan of the warm contrast with the iced drink, but it's definitely made fresh). Iced supreme matcha latte: my go-to! It's the perfect amount of sweetness. The foam can be a little much sometimes, so keep that in mind. This drink used to default come with matcha jelly (delicious!), but now it defaults with no toppings and you have to add on the matcha jelly (free of charge). Green grape boom: very light and refreshing! Although it's a slushie, sometimes it can be a little TOO icy and not enough of the grape flavor. It varies each time I order it. I don't typically like grape-flavored things, but this tastes like you're just eating fresh grapes and is delicious. Not artificial at all! Love that they use real ingredients!

While the osmanthus with cream remains my personal favorite, this visit I ordered the high mountain pouchong with orange and was not disappointed. It's refreshing in the Texas heat, a little tangy from the citrus and perfectly sweet (the lemon variety of it is also exceptional). Seating inside is rather limited, but the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, good for sitting awhile and having a chat while you drink. One of my favorite tea stops of all!

Luckily there wasn't a line. I picked up a green tea passion fruit tea and was surprised how tasty it was! The drink was a pretty yellow hue with passion fruit seeds at the top. The green tea flavor wasn't overly strong or dry wnd was very fragrant-- super tasty~ It came in a recyclable little sling carrier too, super cute :) I love how the brand focuses on real fruit, milk/cream so there aren't any artificial ingredients lurking around. You can order at the kiosk or at the cashier. For sweetness customization, they only have full level, less sweet, and no sugar options. The less sweet is already plenty sweet for me, so wish there was a slightly less sweet option than that. The service was polite and friendly, and the inside was clean with several tables. Besides the great taste, I really appreciate the "no artificial stuff" way of doing things. After one drink I'm Chicha San Chen fan! Be sure to stop by sometime and try their tea :D
