    I believe this was my first time trying a bingsu so I don't really have anything to compare to. I thought the portion was very generous. It was huge so I recommend you share with at least one other person. Mango tasted fresh and it was perfect for a hot Tucson summer day. I thought the service was a little off. There were two people working but I didn't feel so welcomed when I walked in.

    I have enjoyed Korean snow in my hometown of Cerritos. As soon as I learned snow dropped open in Tucson I convinced my husband to go and get some dessert after having a wonderful dinner next-door. This modest little café spot has tables and booth seating and serves coffee, tea and Korean specialty tea in addition to about six flavors of snow desserts. One order easily could feed three or four people. The flavor you choose is layered in a big bowl then toppings are put upon it then more snow is placed on top and then a final topping layer of the flavor of your choice. I've twice tried the strawberry but next time I'll probably order mango. They also appear to have lotus cookie flavor, but I didn't recognize the flavor. They call it coffee with the lotus cookies on top. What makes this Korean snow dessert so wonderful is that it's light and filling without being too sugary sweet and my mom and sister are sensitive to dairy and it doesn't cause any congestion or affects that an ice cream might. With it being so hard to sign lately. It's a wonderful place to just go and relax and have a sweet treat.

    The shaved ice was great! Service was fast and friendly and plenty of seating inside. Nice and cool on a hot day! My only critique is I wish they had different sizes. It's one size one price and it's a huge serving so would be hard to eat the whole thing if you're alone, luckily I had a friend with and we shared the mango. It would have been nice to get two smaller sizes with different flavors to try more than one. Otherwise the mango was so good! Will definitely be back

    So yummy!! The inside is super cute and the workers are all so friendly. Really excited they opened this shop, will definitely be trying the other flavors in the future!

    Authentic Korean ice cream! Definitely big enough to share. We ordered the matcha flavor, with the condensed milk on the side, to control the sweetness. Also ordered hot tea which was delicious. The staff was super nice.

    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!

    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.

    If you like Oreo cookies, then you will love this Oreo Bingsu. Lots of crumbled Oreo on top and in the middle. The snow was soft and refreshing. My friend ate most of cookie and I ate the snow. Service was nice. The place was clean.

    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

    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!

    What a cool spot; literally and figuratively! This cute little dessert shop serves up delectable treats that tickle the tastebuds! I shared the Mango Bingsu with my fiancé and we were over the moon from the unique and flavorful dish that had a surprising perfect sweetness. Can't wait to go back!

    Mango

    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.

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

    I ordered the pure matchalicous power smoothie. On the menu, it is listed as having banana, kale,…read moreagave, matcha, and coconut milk. In reality, there is no indication of matcha outside of the color. If I didn't know that there was supposed to be matcha in it, I would have attributed the color to something like kale alone. It wasn't bad, but it definitely is not what is advertised. Something I was also baffled about was the general poor service. The cashier didn't know what was in the smoothie when I made sure it was dairy free, and it was exponentially slow considering that I was the only person there. I can attribute both of those to training issues, but there's also the matter of the topic of conversation very loudly being held by the employees, which kind of ruined the vibes.

    Can I post a ZERO STAR review? Excuse me but when you order a "latte" anywhere, that implies there…read morewould be coffee in it. Nope. Here you get a watered down coconut milk with an overly sweet, syrupy lavender that is so sweet it's sickening, and a mouthful of dried roses. Even when I asked about it, I was told no. And when I asked if they could toss mine in the trash they said I could walk down the dirty curb to the overflowing trash can that's probably been full for the entire week. I left it on their counter. This after paying almost $38 for two overly sweet bowls, and this "yuck water." No refund offered. And they kept the 20% tip. Don't come here. Let's also not forget the filthy outside tables, chairs, and concrete. And the inside so dirty and they had their child running around in the cramped space. ** update: The manager was informed and reimbursed my "latte" -- not the tip but then she offered a coffee from her other store.
