We discovered this place on our way back home from Merrimack Outlets and was quite pleasantly surprised. Since then visited multiple times more during winter months haha. Their shaved snow is quite authentic Korean style shaved snow that I've had many times in NYC and the prices are decent too. It can get quite busy actually but the wait is typically worth it. I usually end up not adding any additional toppings as it's sweet enough already so just to show you they're not skimping on the shaved snow by watering it down. Really hope they eventually venture out to Boston area but for now will have to settle the occasional 40 min drive out here for some delicious shaved snow :) read more

Local spot in the suburbs with games and some seating. Food service, like how the egg waffles here are springy and not overcooked for a crispy outside. Drinks are creative and have good variety, def on the sweeter side so reduce sugar if that's something you're not into. Casual okay ambiance, nothing fancy, but adorable stuffies. Had parking lot for plaza. read more

The shaved snow here is unlike anything I've tried before, light, creamy, and not overly sweet. The matcha flavor was a standout. Place gets busy on weekends, so expect a short wait, but it's worth it. read more

Snowdaes seen Betterdaes. This place have new ownership or something? We use to love going here when it first opened. And regularly visited since the dessert offerings from shave snow to teas, ice cream etc., were all so good. And still is. But over the years it seemed like the transitioning staff has caused this place to degrade. Service is still decent but the facility is such a hot mess now. Floors were sticky from all the desserts people drip--staff should be regularly cleaning, and can't even begin with the bathrooms--yowza. Maybe it was wrong timing when I took my kid in but they were gas station filthy. Had to evacuate real quick. I completely understand--the staff can get very busy, but after the rush, possibly take a look and see if they need attention? Tables were all sticky--staff didn't seem to clean them regularly. The dessert offerings here is still holding up but definitely needs attention when it comes to cleanliness. It's obvious it's not the highest priority at the very moment of our recent visit. read more

Love this place!!! I love that they have classic asian drinks and desserts w but with their own unique twist. My kids both loved the mango shaved snow w cereal toppings. I tried the milk bubble tea which was also very good! Spot is very clean and well kept w parking! Highly recommend this spot if you're in the mood for icy asian desserts read more

The Asian shaved ice is tasty. Kids got toppings with it but they wished they had just gotten the ice. Overall affordable and tasty.

I only come here for the shaved snow or to save money besides those it's not much different from other places maybe just the cup material. and for a while now it's always been the most packed for some reason read more

The fudge ice cream and waffles that we had was delicious! The three of us had it and it was delicious, filling and overall exactly what we needed on a hot day. The service was nice and the staff were all very sweet. The ambiance was nice, mostly teenagers and young adults coming in- but it was a nice vibe. We also played a game of sorry- as there are games for ppl to play with. read more

Snowdaes - What the fudge - Desserts Near Me - Lowell, Massachusetts

A MUST DO! 4 & 1/4 STARS! Native Californian Jennifer Hang moved to the East Coast for her college education. She decided to stay & start a business called Snowdaes in Lowell MA. Their Specialty is Shaved Snow which is a combination of Shaved Ice & Ice Cream blended together. It's frozen & becomes Shaved Snow. It's then sliced into fine thin fluffy ribbons of various flavors. You can then add toppings too. Mango & Honeydew are 2 of their most popular flavors. We got the Mango Snow which was Very Good & Refreshing. They also serve other treats like Hawaiian Ice, Asian Ice, Egg Puffs, Lemonade Tea, Bobble Tea & other treats & concoctions. They have a Large Menu on the back wall. The Parking here is Free & is less than a hour's drive from Boston. If you are coming here for the first time, I would recommend you go with their Signature Shaved Snow. Even if it's cold out & snowing in the winter some people still come here & want their Shaved Snow. Hysterical. LOL! It used to be, you had to have Mega Bucks & be really Rich to have the Good Life, not anymore. The Game has changed. You've been Upgraded. Now You Can Live Like a King on a Limited Budget! read more

Decent bingsoo place with other shaved ice offerings. There's also bubble tea and egg waffles. The bubble tea selection wasn't that impressive - I would say the egg waffles and shaved ice are more worth it here. Eat in area could be made more comfortable - a bit old and dingy. read more

They also have a variety of table top games available. read more

An amazing dessert shop in Lowell that serves shaved snow/ice, bubble tea, and more. I came here on a Saturday night and the inside doesn't look like much, pretty bare, but the are many options to choose from on their menu including different specialty drinks. I got cotton candy shaved snow with boba and mochi and white rabbit bubble tea. The shaved snow was fluffy and super sweet. There were a lot of toppings on the side maybe a little too much mochi and not enough shaved snow. The white rabbit drink with crystal boba was also super sweet, but at least it did have the subtle taste of white rabbit candy mixed in. The blue crystal boba made the drink quite aesthetically pleasing to look at with the cute penguin logo for snowdaes. I hope to be back another day to try out their other drinks and shaved ice. read more

Snowdaes - White rabbit milk tea & cotton candy shaved snow - Desserts Near Me - Lowell, Massachusetts

My go-to drink here is the L Tea! It has green milk tea, basil seeds and grass jelly. But ever since I learned of the Green Tea special ice cream, I would get a craving for it all the time. First of all, it's ice cream, made of my favorite thing, matcha!! Second, it has red beans and almonds, which I also enjoy. The prices are very reasonable, too. There used to be tables and chairs to dine-in, but nowadays, you can pick up or order in person for take out. read more

The drinks are pretty good! They should update the posters since it felt a bit old though. The pandan coconut is great however, I feel the coconut made the overall dish to sweet. Overall , there are many solid options to try! read more

Snowdaes is my favorite place in Lowell, MA for dessert after a meal! Their specialty shaved snow is very flavorful, and you can customize what you put on which I love. I always get either The Cottonfetti or Thai Dye! White Rabbit Milk Tea (milky rabbit candy milk tea , crystal boba): Overly sweet, I couldn't really drink it. I didn't realize how sweet it would be. I love the crystal boba however and love that it was blue! Ube Milk Tea: Too sweet, tasted a little chalky. The "L" Tea (thai green tea, milk , basil seeds, grass jelly): MY FAVORITE! Snowdaes are the only people I know that I can get thai green milk tea! Not too sweet, not too bland, it's the perfect combo. read more

Snowdaes - Shorty Special (original puffle, powdered cinnamon & sugar, vanilla ice cream, strawberries (fresh), Nutella, condensed milk ) - Desserts Near Me - Lowell, Massachusetts

We came at 1pm. Place was not crazy busy. We got the shorty special and green tea special. The shorty special has egg waffles, ice cream, red bean and Nutella. Green tea special is shaved ice matcha snow, red beans, almonds and milk. They made everything fresh in front of you. The shorty special had some good textures. The egg waffles and ice cream was a perfect combination. The green tea special was creamy and crunch. Definitely, a delightful treat. Price was reasonable. I will be back read more

There was a really strange smell that I noticed as soon as I walked in like a combination of dirty feet and sweat, it made me nauseous almost immediately.

Snowdaes - Not so bomb Mass lychee. Shaved ice - Desserts Near Me - Lowell, Massachusetts

It's a quiet evening and I'm on the couch with my fiancé and there are moments he just utters "Snowdaes" blissfully under his breath. He loves Snowdaes and I do too. It's everything we wish we could have in our area but we're happy to make a pit stop here or travel past state lines for it. Lots of variety for on the go drinks or decadent desserts. We Belong Together may be one of my top favorite specialty drinks of all time. It's not too sweet but is a satisfying refresher after a long day (or in our case during a long drive). The basil seeds add some textures to the refreshing flavors. The "L" tea is also delicious for its take on a milky drink but not too overpowering. Pandan puffles see what my fiancé loves and insists on getting his own because he no longer can just split one with me (and I don't blame him). His favorite drink is a custom one with lychee green tea as the base and lychee jelly, and basil seeds. Shaved snow is also something we get here every time (even when we have to feed each other in the car driving home to have it). My fiancé's first time trying shaved snow was here with the Rainbow Mango preset as the choice. He was blown away and couldn't believe he went 27 years without trying this delicacy. Since then we've gotten shaved snow every time. There's definitely something for everyone! We've gotten local Lowell friends addicted to Snowdaes (sorry not sorry friends) and are elated every time. still can't believe there's still even more to try than our usual favorites. Until next time Snowdaes! We love you (way too much) read more

Unimpressed. Very young people serving and unmasked. Not very clean. Order was not accurate. Too much socializing and inattentiveness causing long waits and crowds as well. They need to update the facility and have better management. read more

Disclaimer: I am a sucker for bubble waffles AKA "egg puffs". Snowdaes basically had me sold when I learned that they had pandan bubble waffles so I already knew I was going to like this place before I even tried it. Snowdaes has a wide variety of desserts: egg puffs, shaved snow, Hawaiian ice, and bubble tea. As soon as I saw the "pandan coconut" on the menu - I knew I had to get it. It comes with a pandan bubble waffle base and is topped with coconut ice cream, almonds, condensed milk and coconut flakes. Flawless. The marriage of flavors from the pandan waffle, condensed milk and coconut ice cream are amazing. Honestly if you drizzle condensed milk over anything, I'll like it. The pandan egg puff was cooked perfectly. It made me want to buy individual pandan egg puffs for the ride home. On the day I went, they were selling taro milk tea for $2. What a BARGAIN. Milk tea is almost never that cheap. Two of my friends opted for the taro milk tea and really enjoyed it. My other friend got the coffee milk tea and was raving about it. I ordered an iced jasmine milk tea with boba and was given a green-colored drink that tasted nothing like jasmine milk tea...one of my friends brought it back up to the counter to ask a staff member if that was truly jasmine milk tea and the girl who made it was insistent that it was. There was NO taste of jasmine. Jasmine milk tea is never green - it's usually a light beige color. If I had to guess, I would have thought it was Thai Green tea. Wasn't a fan. Snowdaes is your typical AZN hangout spot = typical trendy Asian desserts/drinks + games for you to play...like JENGA! read more

I've been here a couple times so far and have really liked the three different drinks I've gotten. Today I got the Thai tea flavored 'Dirtea' and loved it. They stock games for customers to play and it is a nice place to hang out. I could see this being a great place to bring your own board games with a group of friends or a casual date too. read more

Here's the thing, when it's conveniently located next to my go-to chicken wings spot in Lowell, I kind of have to give this place another shot. Sunset Jazz- Lychee strawberry green tea, aloe vera and mango pop. Tasted like pure sugar but I expected it this time! When your really craving something sweet, it's not bad. Overall Service: Still the same. I like that they made eye contact with me at least this time. That's a start. I'm going to have a human interaction with them one of these days and it's going to be glorious! read more

Came here for the Dirtea Thai tea which is a thai tea slush blended with oreos and boba. I would rate this a 10/10 for the authentic thai tea (not powder). Just the perfect amount of sweetness. Absolutely would get this again! The Dragon Lady drink wasn't as good as I expected. It was a pineapple and kiwi green tea with different jellies on the bottom and strawberry pop, but the drink itself tasted like syrup. You can't taste the tea at all. The pineapple also overpowered the kiwi but overall an interesting drink. read more

Snowdaes, the first place I was able to try some "shaved snow" and I was not disappointed by the outcome! This place is conveniently located in a complex that also has some restaurants such as a BonChon next to it, so this is a great place to go for dessert! The shaved snow as the texture of shaved ice, but has more of a taste and feeling of ice cream when you eat it. They have a nice variety of flavors and combinations of flavors "specialty snow" here. I got the strawberry cheesecake specialty snow which was great, it had some fresh strawberries on it and graham cracker. I also was able to try their original flavor which was good as well. The idea of going here for dessert is great, since it has many other options that I would like to try when I am in the area, from bubble tea, waffles, Hawaiian and Asian ices, and shakes. The egg puffs look interesting and heard good things about them too. A cool plus is that the interior looks simple, yet nice. This goes with the idea of just coming here, have a dessert, and hang out with friends especially since they have a small choice of board games here to play with as well. This is a place I would definitely come back to if I was in the area again. read more

I noticed Snowdaes in the New Business section of the Yelp site a number of weeks ago, so when I found myself in Lowell, I just had to make my way there! Located in a strip mall - one with newcomer Bon Chon marked most prominently on the list of shops - Snowdaes resides in a front corner as a bright and spacious shop with windows on two sides, a good number of seating options, individual bathrooms available for patrons, and toppings well labeled and within easy eyesight of their customers. Small $3.50 - 1 snow flavor, 1 topping included Medium $5.50 - 2 snow flavors, 1 topping included Large $7.25 - I don't know how many snow flavors, 2 toppings included Pick a drizzle, even though it costs an additional 25 cents - it settles the shaved ice so that it is more creamy and less flakey-flyaway! Your choices are condensed milk, nutella, chocolate, white chocolate, caramel. I recommend the condensed milk, even though it caused my snow to settle, as it is relatively neutral and it made the concoction all the more creamy. If shaved snow is not your thing, they also offer Hawaiian Shaved Ice $2, Bubble Tea $3.50 and a variety of other more run of the mill drink selections. Me, I picked a medium because I had a hard time selecting just one snow flavor, honeydew and coconut, with red bean and condensed milk. A nice treat to end the day with. read more

Very relaxing environment, staff is extremely friendly. We came here for dessert and it definitely hits the spot! The size portions are huge too! I definitely recommend coming here. I got the Thai tea shaved snow with condensed milk. Very soft and light and perfect amount of sweetness. The Milk Money was also a delicious drink. It has milk tea with grass jelly, basil seeds, and boba. The tea was very light and not too sweet. I definitely want to come back to try more desserts that they offer! read more
