How has it took this long for me to check out Snow Bean?! It's a hidden treasure of Orlando for sure. This was my first Korean Dessert Cafe and I loved it. It's a very cozy cafe connected to the Izziban Sushi and Korean BBQ. It's a great spot to study and enjoy a green tea latter or delicious shaved Ice overlooking a beautiful lake. They offer hot drinks, dessert, icecream and basically all your Korean dreams. For my first experience I had the Green tea shaved ice. It's so delicious with shaved ice, mochi, cereal, and green tea powder. Other flavors they have strawberry bomb, waffle bee and I can't wait to try the mango cheesecake.y boyfriend had his first Green tea latte and loved it. Service here is really great. The barista was very friendly and walked us through the menu. We came at night time but the view was still beautiful. There was huge koi fish in the water swimming in circles. read more

Craving for sweets and shaved ice late at night Parking: Ample spaces but if you are coming from east side, be sure to slow down to turn into the lot. If you pass it, it'll be another mile or two before you can U-turn legally. Inside: Freezing cold. It was unbearable to stand in front of the freezer to read the menu. Outside: Nice patio with tables overlooking the lake. Not recommended at night due to the moisture and humidity that you will most likely be food to the mosquitos. The patio area share spaces with the Korean joint next door. Lighting is also dim which made it hard for us to eat outside but it was warmer than inside. I got the SnowBean shaved ice. It came with cereal, mocha, toppings. I was craving for shaved ice late at night. The girl recommended to substitute cereal for strawberries to make it more fruity. I agreed. When I got my cup, there was cereal! Turns out another employee started his shift and he completed my order. I got my strawberries but now there's this unwanted sugary crunch from the cereal. I ate the fruit and scooped the cereal on the side. All I came across was toppings and barely any ice. The ice became contaminated with the cereal. Finally got to the bottom but by this time, the ice melted and just tasted like condense milk. Needless to say, the cup was a waste. I got no shaved ice and a bunch of unwanted sugary cereal. Had I known that, I would just gotten plain shaved ice by itself. This place seems to be stingy on their shaved ice. It's done in layers but the toppings was overkill. If you can withstand the cold then it's a place where people come and study. Besides the disappointed shaved ice, they offer home-made desserts and pastries. read more

I love how this sits right on the lake.definitely a place to relax and enjoy a cool afternoon. We ordered the shaved ice mango cheesecake and I 120% recommend. Especially if you want to share with friends since this giant thing cost $12! I love the combo of mango and cheesecake bites. The cheesecake was so creamy and delightful. And the shaved ice was the perfect touch to a hot day. The staff was also sweet! She brought it out to us with napkins and spoons. Tip:ASK FOR EXTRA CONDENSE MILK DRIZZLE read more

Fun atmosphere and great location. They are a little tight on space but they have a great outdoor seating area. Their selection of drink options is small but they have they a lot of counter service foods which add to the fun and vibrant ambiance of the space. I sat outside and believe it or not, the wifi was strong even out there. So it was a nice place to study. Also, as an army (Bangtan boys fan) I also heavily appreciated the BTS merch. read more

This is a cute little Instagram worthy dessert place that is tucked in the corner of the parking lot, off the water and next to the Izziban BBQ place. There's these little bakery items like slices of cakes, sweet bread, mochi, and macarons, but the reason to come here is their cups of delicious snow. The snow is a "Korean style" shaved ice desert, with combination flavors of green tea, mochi, chocolate, strawberry and red bean. They also have Teas and Coffee, but like I said, you come here for the shaved ice. The atmosphere is clean, quiet and calm, kind of like Starbucks during the day (non-rush hours), with people sitting at tables on their laptops and minding their business and sipping coffee. The staff is very nice, friendly, eager to help and super sweet. Both the staff and the environment is very inviting. I believe I ordered the Choco Reo, but I cannot confirm because I remembered that night i was wanting brownies, oreos, and shaved ice lol. All I can remembered is that it was chocolate, it was cold, it instantly dissolved in my mouth, and it was DELICIOUS. It was the perfect end to the night after dinner. This place is open late, it's friendly, and it has tasty Instagram desserts! Can't wait to go back and get another Shaved Ice! read more

My wife and I have been going to Iziban for years and didn't ever think to try Snowbean but decided to dry the shaved ice with our two kids. We are so glad we did, the girls loved it. my daughters shared (and loved) the strawberry and my wife and I branched out and tried the Snowbean which has red bean and it did not disappoint. It was my first time having sweet red bean and it was really delicious. The service was great too, my daughters loved the two girls who served us read more

I've been meaning to check this place out since I saw an ad for the soft opening and their bingsu. It shares a parking lot with Izziban next door so you won't run into much trouble with that unless it's a busy night. It faces the lake which gives you a lovely view while enjoying your treats. There's indoor and outdoor seating. I ordered a Iced Matcha Latte and I thoroughly enjoyed it - not too sweet or chalky. They don't seem to fancy up drinks which is perfect if you're a simple person like me. I think they prefer to shine through their bingsu with the support of Cafe and pastries. If pastries appeal to you I'd recommend looking at those before you walk straight to the counter to order. It's a great place to relax and talk/work. I hope to try their bingsu during my next visit. read more

Cute little spot to gravitate to for your after dinner treat! The only thing about this place is it's hidden next to the sushi bbq place so it's hard to see it if you don't pay attention. The desserts are to die for especially the cheesecake. I had the snowbean ice it was good but I wish they would have added more flavor to the middle section since most of the fillings are on top and when you get to the bottom it's all ice. There is a limited seating and majority is college kids studying or doing work. read more

Snowbean is a great spot. You can walk in and grab a coffee along with a snack then head back on your way or take a seat and get some work done inside. They also have a door to access to the lake dock outside where you can relax and enjoy your treats. read more

Interesting and yummy choices of Korean desserts, snacks, and drinks. The place is a bit cramp inside as people here seem to hang out a while to study. However, the outside seating is pretty spacious and quite relaxing being next to a lake. When we went, there was only one person manning the entire shop. Good thing we were the only ones ordering at the time, otherwise, I think the wait could take a bit of time, so heads up. read more

Everything is so yummy here! Service is great as well! Scenery is great. I totally recommend.

Highlight- this is a korean bakery, bingsu, and coffee shop that is located right next to the super popular and giant sushi and korean barbecue place. The desserts at the korean barbecue is mostly mass chopped up fruit- so if you want something more put together, despite it being sweet and mildly high in flour, this is a nice place to go after your korean barbecue spree. The decor inside is charming, romantic, and very comfortable with dimmed lights and frosty signs. We ordered a small green tea bingsu which was adequately flavored with the green tea and the Frosted Flakes brought a sugar punch to this light snowy dish. It's been a trend to put cereals with these bing su dishes, and Frosted Flakes went well with the green tea one. The desserts here are not too sweet or too heavy- similar to the Korean bakery trend that you will find in other larger cities. The principle is light sugar, fluffy, and aesthetically cutesy looking desserts. Nothing is brightly decorated, no harsh colorings, nothing too artificial looking- everything is earth tones, and the flavors tend to be earthy and natural- won't find any key lime, rum, raspberry whizzle, or Reese's flavored things here. Usually coffee, chocolate, green tea, grains, and strawberry are the main flavors done here- but the trick is to make sure none of them are overly done in flavor or sugar. for someone interested in something cool and refreshingly light, go for a bingsu. If you want something more cozy, opt for the breads or Swiss roll slices paired with a good coffee or hot chocolate. You can't go wrong with combinations here- since nothing here is designed to be super wild, but rather, light and powdery. read more

Super cute and super yummy Korean dessert shop located inside of Izziban! You can also "Lock in your Love" at this location! I got the Dalgona - shaved ice , Dalgona (brown sugar chunks), vanilla ice cream , mochi , cereal and covered with condensed milk. I personally have never tried this dessert but it was so much lighter and more refreshing than ice cream. It was sweet but not overly sweet. Definitely want to try a different flavor. It's also a waterfront location which is a HUGE plus! read more

Went today and they are out of keys she stated they will let you know once they get more keys on a ig post.. so def don't go thinking that's going on! Guess it a give us something to do next time.. also when you walk in immediately they ask about which food would you like but you can bypass that and go straight to the key spot that has no keys just coffee and desserts read more

I really love this place! cozy and delicious coffee :) I don't remember the names of the desserts but they were delicious too :)

Service (5/5): I have nothing to complain about the service. I also was there on a pretty slow day so the coffee was made quickly. Drink (5/5): I was basic af and had a mocha. Next time it's not raining and I can enjoy the patio, I will definitely be getting their shaved ice. I used to love shaved ice back in California and I love their unique looking bowls. Next time I'm hungry and studying, I'm going to eat their ramen. It's so cool that they have ramen bowls they can heat up for you Ambiance (4/5): The fact that it sits on a lake is an obvious highlight. I hate how much it rains here over the summer, otherwise, I would have sat outside to be productive. It's quite a tight space but it's great for studying with the outlets and comfy chairs. They even have a blanket to offer but bring one of your own because it gets cold inside! Price (5/5): There's a review below complaining about the price of their drinks, but when I came in today it looked like their 12 oz. is actually 4-5, 16 oz. is 5-6, etc. So I guess they improved their prices? read more

How am I just NOW finding out about this place?! A cafe that doesn't close until 2am with the most tastiest looking treats I've ever seen? Sign me up! My friends and I were all getting out of work late one night and wanted to get some treats but we wanted to try something new. That's when we came across SnoBean. We all walked in in awe of how cute and modern the place is set up and also loved their patio seating on the water (aka definitely an insta friendly spot). If it hadn't rained and there weren't so many mosquitoes, we would have definitely sat outside. We ended up sitting inside and I ordered the strawberry cheesecake shaved ice which was filling yet light at the same time. Since it was shaved ice, you don't feel guilty or like your waistband has expanded 5 times! Honestly the best perk of having a late night snack. They also have Korean and some Latin inspired treats like tres leches and flan. I also saw that they have MASSIVE brownies that we almost bought but chickened out. Next time though, we're for sure getting those brownies! read more

Came here for Bingsu after having tried it in Hawaii. The Bingsu disappointed as the quality of the ingredients are terrible. The mango was slimey canned mango and the chocolate sauce was cheap syrup that resembled the Hershey's syrup. The Bingsu itself was good but the toppings ruined it. The cafe itself is very cozy and relaxing while overlooking a lake. Great for studying. read more

Food was so good and staff was so attentive! Definitely want to go again! I couldn't highly recommend them enough

This place was amazing! The shaved ice / ice cream was a little expensive but was delicious. Very odd flavor combination but they all worked together for a refreshing dish after a concert. The atmosphere was also amazing and seems like a great study spot for anyone looking for one. Definitely would recommend! read more

To start this place is decorated so nice, I love the little patio outside with a great view on the water. Ohhhhh, and you can take a cute little photo opt with the angel wings outside. :) They offer all different samples of the swirl cake. I literally tried every single one, I know me in free samples. However, they didn't have the green tea flavor but I ended up getting that one because of the unique flavor. They offered like 15% off on the cakes but they aren't pricey, I think it was only $2. The shaved ice snow bean was pretty good and different to other deserts. I ordered the small, $4. It's super sweet, so a small is more than enough. It normally comes with almonds but they were out and offered cereal. I think having the cereal tasted better and it looked nicer too. Don't opt for the lattes here, my boyfriend got one and it tasted a bit stale, like the coffee had been sitting around. :( read more

SnowBean is without a doubt, and in my humble opinion; one of the most charming coffee places in town. If you see some of the pics that myself and some other Yelpers have taken, you will be able to notice that the patio area is not only clean and relaxing, but offers a fantastic view of the lake; especially if you go to watch the sun set. If that alone is not reason enough to come and check SnowBean out, I'll throw another reason your way; the coffee is excellent. I had the pleasure of enjoying a cafe latte ($3.25) and it was really delicious, they use good quality coffee here. Coffee, and ambiance still not reason enough? OK; how about a large array of Asian cakes and pastries? Granted; it's brought from an outside provider, but my friend and I had a lot of fun buying several varieties and trying them out. My personal favorite was one called: "Evaporated milk bread" When I first got it I thought it was literally just two slices of bread but sandwiched between the slices is this honey-butter like spread that is absolutely delicious when eaten with a cup of coffee, mainly because it wasn't too sweet like most desserts. It's another detail that I personally really liked about SnowBean, the pastries aren't doused in tons of sugar, it's just enough; perfect. read more

Cute coffee shop. Lots of pastry options and unique shaved ice / drinks. I got the snowbean shaved ice and green tea latte. The shaved ice doesn't come with too many toppings. So you gotta add extras for $0.50 per topping (mango, red bean, strawberry, blueberry, Mochi (rice cake), Oreo, almond ) The ice itself is milk based and it's very soft and fluffy. So I tried to be healthy and change my green tea latte to almond milk and it was a big mistake ! Just get it with milk. Unless you're lactose intolerant ... but trust me, almond and matcha don't belong together. They had many pastries, but I didn't get any. Although they had some cookie samples available. They were delicious. I mainly love the environment. I'll be back ! read more

As far as flavor goes, this place is awesome. If you're looking for a good, clean atmosphere, this isn't your spot. SnowBean is located on the highway in between a few car lots (a little hard to find if you don't know it's there). There's a big sign that says "Coffee" on the road, but the words "SnowBean" are written very small on it. Even as I was turning in, I wasn't sure if I was going to the right place. The building itself is right on the water (which was unexpected and kind of cool, actually). SnowBean shares a space with an all-you-can-eat sushi and BBQ joint, so don't get confused if you walk through the wrong door like I did :D I ordered a nitro coffee and it was both reasonably priced ($2.79) and delicious! Not bitter and delightfully bubbly. The atmosphere was different than the typical coffee shops I'm used to. It had little Asian touches throughout like an tiny gift shop with Asian candies / journals. So unique and unexpected! The two downsides I can tell are that there is only 1 outlet in the whole shop (making it an non-ideal place to work unless you get the table right under it) and the interior could use some updating, as some of the couches were torn and the walls were scuffed and dirty. For those reasons, I give it a 3/5. read more

Lots and lots of potential here! Pros: Decorations/ambiance is awesome Comfy lighting Clean lines Lots of different Asian/Korean pastries Snow desserts KPop playing in the background Beautiful patio seating View of the lake Cool artwork Cons: Seems empty Kinda weird that it's right next to the KBBQ spot Poor signage from the street They serve the snow ice in a tall glass making it hard to eat. It would be easier if it was in a wide bowl like those in yogurt places. Lots of the food seems packaged or imported. Not sure if it's baked locally or what Need more flavors for the snow dessert Overall, lots of potential and things to like. I probably won't make it out here specifically for the Snow dessert, but I'll grab something sweet after having a salty meal next door. Yelp 100 Challenge: 20/100 read more

I always have a wonderful time here. I come here often with my cousin to study. They cafe is small, so it does get packed quickly! The coffee and dessert selection here is really good! I usually get a Veanna coffee with cream. If I have a sweet tooth that day, I go for a mocha bite, or one of the chocolate pastries. I love coming here at least 2-3 times a week. The staff here is very friendly and a delight to talk to! Come in when Gianni is there, he'll talk to you with the perfect level of sass! I love going to places where the staff is comfortable enough to let loose and joke around respectfully! read more

SnowBean - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Super cute place hidden on East Colonial! I honestly thought we were going to some weird warehouse place. SnowBean sits on the edge of a lake right next to their sister restaurant, Izziban Sushi. It's not a very big cafe. There are a couple of tables inside and then a deck area outside with seating. They offer a variety of coffee drinks and desserts/pastries. All of their pastries are made in house daily, from their cookies to their brownie cheesecake bars. We actually saw someone make a red velvet cake that looked delicious. We opted for the tiramisu cup. Slightly on the pricier side for a little cup...it was like $5.50 or something like that. The taste was good but slightly on the dry side. I prefer my tiramisu soaked more with rum/brandy/liquid. The creaminess of the mascarpone was a little thicker than I'd prefer. But when we enjoyed it later, it was decent. The desserts are slightly on the pricier side but I still like the quaintness of this place and the fact that everything is made fresh, daily. Will be back for sure. read more

Absolutely love this place! My boyfriend took me for a date to out the cute locks with our names that they have a place to lock them outside. I've only tried the snow but it's delicious. They have an outside seating area, and it's by a lake. Definitely wish there was more tables inside since it can get hot outside, and the tables that are there are always taken by people using computers and it's always 1 person at each table so that can be a little annoying because it leaves no tables for anyone else. But the workers are nice and you get a buzzer when your order is ready. read more

...egh, lets shoot for a 3.5 just because service was friendly and the views were awesome! But as per the quality & pricing of the desserts-- not so much. I personally enjoy waterfront restaurants (hello, this is Florida!), so any restaurant with a water view automatically makes me happy. But here's the deal, the desserts themselves did not live up to the wonderful scenery in front of me, although I really wish it did! Came to Snowbean on a weekday afternoon. Ordered an Oreo milkshake & a Chocolate Brownie Rio dessert "thing-y". We also ordered a few cake mini bites as well. Oreo milkshake was a thumbs down-- my friend said Steak n Shake Oreo milkshakes are way better. (Sorry!) The chocolate brownie was *good* but I don't know... it was like too moist and not enough richness. Kind of felt like I was eating dry brownies as well. Mini-cakes were subpar and overly sweet. Prices were ehh.. not leveled with the quality, get what I'm saying? But again, service was great and who doesn't like being on a lake?! I saw they had matcha drinks as well. As a matter of fact, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt & return again to try the matcha. Who knows, this might blow me out of the waters! read more

The shaved ice is flavorless I haven't tried anything else tho. It was also a small portion but this is a cute little cafe to study at.

Another Option instead of just having people call would be for you all to invest in outdoor heaters that a majority of restaurants carry to accommodate for their clients. I've been back here several times since my last review and it still is the same issue. I've even seen people walk in and leave after looking for seating. read more
