I was looking on Yelp for a place to have dessert and came across Snowdrop, which appears to be recently 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! read more

I ventured into this new spot after a long day because I was craving something sweet, and it was a treat! The interior is clean and comfortable, and the menu is easy to understand. 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. read more

Tucson is lucky to have an authentic bingsu shop. The quality, portion size, and flavors are genuinely comparable to the well known Sul and Beans in Los Angeles, which is impressive for a smaller market. The flavors I have tried and enjoyed include: - Coffee Caramel - Matcha - Oreo Choco The staff is friendly, and the ambience makes it a great spot for a casual hangout or an after dinner dessert stop. Overall, a solid place worth trying! At the moment of this post, take out is not available. read more

Absolutely the most delicious dessert I've had! I recently came here when they had their re opening after being temporarily closed for some time and so impressed with the food and the service. My husband and I tried the mango bingsu, yuzu citron tea and the strawberry cheesecake bingsu and was so impressed! I will say it's a really big portion for one person and can easily be shared with 4 people. The restaurant was clean, staff was friendly and we will definetely be coming back. SO GOOD 10/10 read more

Super cute and unique place! The girls behind the counter are really sweet. We got the strawberry cheesecake bowl with mochi instead of cheesecake and it was delicious! read more

Snowdrop - Strawberry cheesecake bowl with mochi instead of cheesecake - Shaved Ice Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

My fiancé and I stopped in for an afternoon treat and it was the perfect option to get out of the heat and cool off! We tried mango! It was a huge serving and easily could have shared with 3 people. The mango was the perfect balance of creamy, sweet, and refreshing. They did a great job of it not being too sweet. My only complaint here is that there are not size options. I would be hesitant to ever come here alone knowing I could not eat the full portion and it would not save very well. Hopefully this is something they can add to the menu in the future. read more

Snowdrop - Mango Bingsu - Shaved Ice Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

So excited for this new spot to open up since we're in walking distance. Right away you get the vibe that this is intended to be a cool hangout with lots of ample seating and modern decor. We ordered the strawberry and the mango and we're not disappointed by the portions. You can easily share one of these between four people! The shaved ice was delicious, I loved how cold it was. The strawberries tasted great. I I could have had more condensed milk online, but generally it was very well received. We had a issue with our mango snow; The mangoes on top were mostly under ripe. When I voiced the concern to the the server, he was very gracious and tried hard to remedy it. He even offered us a refund if we weren't pleased. He ended up getting some better pieces of mango, but I will say todd if I were to order that flavor again, I would need to see a big improvement in the quality of the fruit. It could have been just an off day for sure because the strawberry was ripe and delicious. All in all, we'll definitely come back! read more

Spot on bingsu but the place seems a little lost. I definitely will be back but so many things seemed awry: --electronic menu signage was not turned on --staff fumbled with trying to turn it on --there didn't seem to be any energy in the staff to get food prepared And yet, it is authentic and delicious bingsu! read more

This place has serious style! There's something oddly satisfying about Shazaming great music while enjoying a meal--it just adds to the experience. The shaved ice bowls are incredibly refreshing and generously portioned; one bowl is more than enough to share between two people. The location is great, the atmosphere is clean and inviting, and everything just feels well thought out. Definitely a must-try spot! read more

So happy that Snowdrop is finally open - I frequent the sushi place next door and love that dessert is now just one door away! I treated myself to the Coffee Caramel Bingsu (Korean Shaved Ice) and it was absolutely delicious! The crushed toffee and crushed Lotus Biscoff paired perfectly with the coffee milk base, giving it the right mix of sweet, crunchy, and creamy. Portion sizes were generous, making it perfect for sharing (or not). The space itself is tastefully decorated and has such a welcoming vibe. What really stood out was the owner, who came out to the dining area to check in on everyone and make sure everything was just right - such a thoughtful touch. I loved everything about this spot and will definitely be back again to try more flavors of the Bingsu and the other awesome treats on the menu! read more

Located behind Dougbird on Campbell. It's very minimalist in its decor. There were limited bingsu flavors , but what they had was good. It does take time to make the bingsu so be patient. We shared the mango and misugaru and they were pretty large and meant to be shared. They were both really good, the shaved ice was light and fluffy and not too sweet. Someone did order the matcha, but it's definitely more earthy. It's still new so I hope more people come in to try it! read more

So delicious! This bowl was shared between three adults and was so good. I wish I would have gotten a photo of the snow underneath it to show how soft and fluffy it was. It's not like snow cone or regular shaved ice, it's very thin and airy which was perfect for a refreshing treat. Oh and I like that they give you these bowls to share it and make your own serving. read more

The best bingsoo is determined by the quality of the shaved ice. The shaved ice here is fluffy, soft, like ingesting a cloud. The misugaru bingsoo is not too sweet with multiple layers of fillings. Highly recommended! read more

For the price, you get plenty of ice. Enough to share one bowl between two people. Didn't feel like crap afterwards either- i only wish they had options to customize your shaved ice toppings. They should also display the amount of calories each bowl has. read more

This place is SO CUTE. I have been here twice now and have tried 3 different flavors of the shaved ice they offer and have to recommend the Mango shaved ice. The only thing I am disappointed about is the wait time. Both times coming in I've had to wait over 30 minutes without the store being extremely busy. But great vibes, great sweet treats but the wait time could be better. ​ read more

this place is nasty. it smells like cheese. Everyone is rude and there's no space to sit inside every time we come they say there's a 40 minute wait and you can't come past 5 or they won't take ur order, not to mention they only have one machine working read more

Absolutely delicious and authentic Korean bingsu (shaved ice)! We ordered the coffee-caramel shaved ice with the biscoff cookie. It is a perfect mix of coffee with the crunchy biscoff cookie!

It was very good. One bowl is big enough for two people to share. They did not have to go anything which hopefully will change as I think they'd only been open for a short time...I'm not sure though, the sign they had up wasn't clear and I didn't ask for clarification. read more

It's finals season, and My friend Krystal, and I decided to pick a nice café to work on our final report here. This Korean café offers great aesthetics, comfortable seating, and a menu that makes you want to try everything on it. We both got a drink and decided to also get their Matcha shaved ice. We're a fan of it all! The shaved ice is perfect for two to three people and has the right amount of sweetness. However, Krystal, who loves matcha, noted the matcha flavor could've been stronger. The drinks were also very delightful and priced well. We may have gotten nothing done on the report, but we discovered a great café nonetheless! read more

Went here a few weeks ago, SUPER GOOD. The ambiance is nice , and the korean ice is to die for. The owner or he seemed to be went up to each table asking if the food was good and if we were doing ok.

I'm Korean and lived in Tucson for 20 years, I have always wanted to re-experience my homeland somehow. I can confidently say that Snowdrop has fulfilled that wish. This is the best bingsu place I have been to by far. I have tried all of the bingsu menu and all of them are amazingly delicious. The ice does not melt as fast as you'd think and each layers are so flavorful. I'll be bringing all of my out-of-town friends here! read more

So delightful and not overly sweet! Definitely recommend! The only flaw was the lack of employees, there was only one worker today, working the cash register, food, etc. which slowed down service, (took 50 minutes to get my dish). Will definitely come again hoping service is better next time! read more

A little frustrating that theres a paper sign posted says "closed on Mondays", online it states open Monday's 12pm-8:30pm, and the actual sticker as you can see in the photo states Monday- Sunday 11AM-9PM. So obviously I went and they weren't open hence the review. I'm sure it's great and hope to actually try it soon. read more

I love this Korean shaved ice. I was expecting milk based shaved ice like I had in Taiwan, and I was pleasantly surprised with the Matcha one that has matcha flavored ice. There's toppings in the middle too. It's worth every penny and worth the 30 min drive. Been there twice so far and will be visiting soon again! read more

Its a lower sugar desert but servings are large. Most Americans probably like higher sugar ice cream.
