I was looking on Yelp for a place to have dessert and came across Snowdrop, which appears to be…read morerecently opened. My mom had never had Korean shaved ice, and I was immediately craving it, so we coordinated with some friends and met them there. There are many options, and very generous portions. We shared the Misugaru, which was sweet and nutty and came topped with red bean paste and almonds. The texture of the shaved ice was exactly like snow! I also tasted our friends mango bowl and an Oreo bowl, as well (that chocolate shaved ice was great!). The staff was friendly, and the spot was quiet with plenty of seating for our gathering. Highly recommend this spot!

Plus, the employees were very helpful answering a few questions I had. I love matcha, so I immediately ordered the matcha with red bean paste. When they brought it to me, I was shocked at the size of the portion! Be aware every bowl is really meant to be shared and they only have one size. I asked for a to-go and they said they didn't offer it but, I was able to get a plastic cup and take it with me. The shaved ice texture and flavor were so outstanding and delicious! It was ice but, it melted in my mouth and was cold, creamy ice cream. Plus, the red bean paste, almonds, and mochi were fresh and delicious! They offer a lot of choices for your bowl including mango, Oreo, strawberry cheesecake, and coffee caramel! Even though it is a little pricer than other spots they offer a great, (large) unique, shaved ice treat! Check them out! They also have both coffee and tea choices.

I mean, it's right there in the name, it's literally watery ice with some flavoring, so maybe it would peak for me in the crazy heat of summer when the cold is refreshing. However, add some frozen custard to make it a "gelati", and now we're getting somewhere anytime of year. I got the root beer water ice gelati, which means they start with frozen custard in the bottom of the cup (I love the vanilla), add some water ice on top to fill the cup, then add more frozen custard on top above the rim. Check out the pic I posted. My wife got the wild black cherry gelati. My rootbeer water ice was a bit bland, not strong enough tasting, her wild black cherry water ice was really flavorful and good. The frozen vanilla custard on both was excellent, rich, creamy and smooth. Every time I eat at Rita's I want to tell them 90% custard, 10% water ice. And they're always so incredibly nice they'd definitely do it. Next time! I keep saying that, seriously, next time! The service at this location was extremely welcoming and friendly, it was great. Atmosphere is bright and open, lots of light, colorful light board menus, lots of colorful, fun, happy signs with specials and such. The place is clean and well kept, comfortable, not too loud, with a slow steady stream of customers. Check out my pics of the inside. I think as far as water ice goes, compared to many other places, and I've had a few, though I'm not a water ice aficionado, Rita's is excellent. As far as frozen custard goes, Rita's is excellent. The choices and toppings are endless. I recommend Rita's. ***FREE WATER ICE DAY is coming up on March 20th. Great time to pop in and give it a shot, worth the extra to add some of that delicious frozen vanilla custard to your favorite flavor water ice.

I would definitely come back here often if I lived close, especially in the hot summer months. Staff was extremely friendly and seemed to enjoy walking us through everything they offer. My guy had never had custard before and enjoyed being able to have samples. You can tell everything really is made fresh. We got their Gelati with Strawberries N Cream (cream ice) and Vanilla Custard. When I say this was phenomenal, I am not exaggerating. The texture of both was divine and creamy and I could've eaten a tub full of it.

The staff was nice and they explained everything they had, which is a lot. I opted for their cold brew but I think their matcha is where it's at. I never had matcha but everyone in there were ordering them and they looked fantastic. They were made to order which I know is a good thing. The coffee was good I would order again but it wasn't life changing. What was amazing beyond belief was their pastries, they said they were all made fresh daily and they had everything from sweet to savory and all looked great. A few things that caught my eye specifically were their Egg Tarts, Custard Donuts, and their Kanafeh. I opted for the Kanafeh because you don't see this anywhere really. The Kanafeh was all that it should be. It was crispy, had a mild cheese in the center and the bottom was soaked with a honey syrup. It was topped with pistachios which added some salt to it and some crunch. I would go back just for this. I think this place is a must stop!

We grabbed a mixed fruit cup absolutely loaded with watermelon, cucumber, jícama, pineapple -- all chopped fresh and piled high. Then comes the magic: chamoy, Tajín, limón, and that perfect drizzle of sweetness that hits salty-spicy-tangy all at once. It's messy in the best way possible. Bring napkins. And maybe don't wear white. The fruit was crisp, juicy, and actually fresh -- not soggy, not sad, not sitting around. That balance of cold fruit with the heat from the chile powder? Elite combo. This is the kind of place you hit on a hot Arizona day when you need something refreshing but still bold. It's simple. It's classic. It delivers every single time. Will I be back? Absolutely. Chamoy-stained fingers and all.

I sampled each variation and all had far too much sugar in the fruit without ice cream and without condensed milk. They offered snacks and we'll have to try those next time.

The service was fine, could have used a little more water refills but they were busy.
