Tried the Halo-Halo ice cream here and it was delicious! There were so many different toppings and flavors going on, and some of them were definitely different from what I'm used to, but somehow everything worked really well together. Honestly, it reminded me of that scene from Ratatouille where all the different flavors start popping like fireworks. That's exactly what this was like--so many different flavors hitting at once and then melting together perfectly. The environment inside is also really nice and welcoming. Service was quick, and everyone was helpful, which made the whole experience even better. Really enjoyed this place and I'll definitely be back! read more

Snowflakes - Large Halo-Halo - Shaved Ice Near Me - Artesia, California

Bought their ube butter mochi bites. $10. Got a piece of paper in the first bite and egg shells in the second. It was also no very chewy like mochi, but more like buttered dough. I understand the product is probably outsourced through a local home backer, but you're selling it at your shop and need to check what you're putting your name to. Waste of money for poor product. Wouldn't be surprised if I find a hair or toenail in the third bite. Very disappointing and will just trash it. read more

Hubby and I have been coming to Snowflakes for over a year now, and it continues to be a solid spot for us. Our first Snowflakes experience was at a catered halo halo event at Bret Harte Library in Long Beach. Though since they didn't have vegan halo-halo, they offered Dole Whip. After that event, we learned about the brick-and-mortar in Artesia. Located in a plaza, look for the parol in the window :) Full transparency, we often end up at Snowflakes when our usual açai bowl spots are closed since Snowflakes is open until 9pm. The location is out of the way for us, but we'll make the drive because we know it's good! I always get the ube base. Most of the ingredients are plant-based, and the staff has helped let us know what isn't (like the ube chia pudding). One thing that Snowflakes has that I don't often see anywhere else is Ghirardelli dark chocolate sauce (yes, it's vegan!) https://bit.ly/4wzt1VW The store itself is bright, clean, and has a modest amount of tables/seats for dining in. Parking can be a bit crowded, but not impossible. read more

$6 for a small shaved ice. I was able to get 3 flavors. I chose Melona, cotton candy (recommended by staff), and watermelon. It was not good. Yesh, it was a shaved ice so of course it was all ice. However, I was expecting flavors?? The gal added so little that we couldn't taste much of anything. It was like eating melted ice with colors. Service was not that great. We came and walked to the counter. Stood there waited for service. Both employees that were there were busy doing their own thing. No greeting or anything. Passed by like no one was there. Maybe the owner needs to hire more staffs. It was busy and lots of customers were waiting. So I get it that the staffs were busy, but it was still very unprofessional. Tables were dirty. It is a requirement to acknowledge when customers are in front of you!!! I was feeling nice so I still decided to order. Never again here... read more

Was looking forward to this but I don't know, maybe there wasn't enough flavoring? I even added condensed milk and could barely taste that. It was just okay. I should have read the reviews first. I'll go back but will order Lola's Halo Halo instead. I appreciate that it was open on 4th of July because it was hot that day! read more

100/10! They catered my baby shower and they were so professional and helpful! All the kids loved it (so did the adults) Set up was also clean and they cleaned up after themselves as well. A lot of flavors to choose from. Tastes just like you're in the islands. Also wanted to give a big shoutout to the manager Kevin! He was super helpful. He helped me throughout the whole process and made everything super easy for me. I will be booking them for every party going forward read more

This is my go-to spot instead of frozen yogurt or ice cream. I love their Hawaiian shave ice, shakes, and soft serve. Their shave ice doesn't have that strong medicine-like aftertaste and doesn't leave you extra thirsty afterward like some places do. The staff are always kid-friendly and welcoming, whether I'm there alone or with a larger group. I'd recommend it for individuals, couples, families, or social gatherings. Inside can get crowded fast, so we usually eat outside or take it elsewhere. read more

Pros: Service was nice. Parking is easy since it's in a plaza. Plenty of seating indoors. Cons: Prices are quite steep for the quality of items ordered. Regular size of halo halo was $12 which was not worth it (IMO). The scoop of Manila mango ice cream was icy and the texture was just off (refer to photo). read more

With the many options for shaved ice within a 2 mile radius of this place, I would choose another. The service was lacking, tables were dirty, seats were stuck & trash can was overflowing. I saw 4 employees and sat in to eat my treat to notice that it was not busy at all! The shaved ice had ice chunks but I enjoyed the pineapple dole whip. IF I do go back it would be for that. read more

Filipino-style dessert place with lots of different options! You want halo halo? They've got a solid version. Dole-whip? Yup, they've got that too. Acai bowls? Theirs are huge portions. Hawaiian shaved-ice? Check. If you're with a big group and want a variety of desserts to choose from, this is a good place to check out. Look at their menu - they've got lots of stuff for lots of different tastes and preferences. We went on a Friday night with a group of 7 people. We all ordered different things, and everyone enjoyed what they ordered. Definitely worth checking out, and I will be back to try other things! read more

We were at a family gathering in Cerritos but we were craving halo halo. We asked our niece where we could find good halo halo as she's from the area, and she recommended Snowflakes. So we drive down there after the party and ordered 3 halo halos! We were already full from all the food at the party but Lola's halo halo was so good that we each finished our large order. Any time I visit that area, I will stop here and indulge in some delicious halo halo! read more

Came back for some dessert. I was not feeling the Halo Halo this time, but instead their ice cream. I was really looking forward to the Macadamia Nut ice cream so I got a double scoop with one scoop of Macadamia nut and one scoop of Kauai Pie. Placed our orders and paid and just waiting for them to prepare it. Just for them to tell me after the fact, that they were out of Macadamia Nut. If they knew that before I ordered, I would have ordered a single scoop. I just think that customer service has really gone out the window for places where you order at the counter and get up to pick up your order, and then they ask if you want to tip, not knowing how good your service will be or if they even care. What happened to getting the service you expect to get for the price you are paying. Not that the girls that were there helping us were not nice, but why don't business owners push the importance of good service. read more

I wanted to make my parents' wedding anniversary extra special so I googled sweet dessert places near the area of the event. I came upon Snowflakes which served the Filipino dessert, halo-halo. It would be very reminiscent of the sweet treats my parents would have their early dates way back in Philippines. After I had reserved for their halo-halo services, my sister's friends who lived locally raved how delicious their halo-halo were! Snowflakes' halo-halo truly lived up to their reputation! Riley who helped serve during the event was very kind & professional. The halo-halos were still fresh and flavorful. Kevin, who I believe to be the owner, answered my questions and was easily accessible to contact via email / text. If only I lived locally, I wouldn't hesitate to have them cater our daughter's upcoming birthday! 5 stars all the way! read more

I first had a halo-halo bowl many years ago when a Filipino coworker took me to try one, so I was genuinely excited when I stumbled across this place while searching online. Lola's Halo-Halo bowl totally delivered--so different from your typical dessert. Light, refreshing, crispy and just sweet enough without overwhelming you. The mix of textures and flavors makes you slow down and actually enjoy it... which I clearly ignored and ended up with a mini frozen brain (my bad ). Clean inside and the service was warm and genuinely friendly--not forced. Perfect sweet treat when want something different and delicious. Next time I might try switching the ube ice cream out for coconut to give it my own little twist. I'm also excited about trying the Himalayan sea salt shake--that sounds right up my salty Carmel alley. read more

This place specializes in shaved ice, acai bowls, and smoothies/shakes. But what everyone comes for is their delicious halo halo. If love halo halo and don't like it too sweet then this is the perfect treat for you. I was introduced to it by my filipino friends to try. You can choose between a regular or large size. I got regular size but regretted not getting a large. It was so good. Their shaved is is smooth which makes it really nice. The ice cream on top is good and so is all the other ingredients in it. I definitely recommend it. I also want to come back and try their smoothies and acai bowls. They also have an Ube haupia crunch bowl that I would love to try as well. The inside has a few tables and chairs to sit and hang out. When I came on the weekend after lunch it was very very busy. Its definitely worth it and I would gladly come back. read more

Snowflakes is the best! We've been going to them for years, so we decided to have them cater halo halo for our Filipino-Vietnamese wedding this past Saturday. It was such a hit that the station was cleaned of stock almost instantly. So many people were raving about it! Kevin was very responsive and made sure our event was a success. Can't recommend them enough for your next event! Pro tip: order double the amount you think you need, it's THAT good! read more

Tried the ice cream and shave ice after dinner at another restaurant. Both were very good. I really liked the different flavors they offered and how much variety there was. The shave ice was super light and fluffy. The ice cream was creamy and flavorful. It was sweet, but not too much. Everything came out quickly. Prices are a bit high for the portion, but overall, great quality and worth trying. read more

We visited this location after it moved to a smaller shopping plaza with shared parking. My friend was excited to try their Dole Whip, so we decided to stop by. After placing our orders, we waited off to the side for them to be called. One of the staff members was calling out order numbers very loudly, as if the store was extremely crowded. While several people went up to grab their orders, her overall tone and demeanor came across as rude, which made the experience less enjoyable. The setup and parking situation are manageable, but the customer service could definitely use some improvement. read more

Some of the best halo halo and dole whip around! My family and I made a stop here because we were craving something sweet. The owners and staff are so friendly and kind.

It was a 'meh' experience! Paid $12 for a small cup of ice cream with some toppings such as pineapple (not fresh one but from the cans), some fresh strawberries and banana. Tasted not too bad but not so good neither. I think it was way too overpriced for the item. I don't think i will come back as there are better options out there. read more

Decided to pop in this shop for dessert after having dinner next door.

We ordered the large halo halo, the medium shaved ice, and the dole whip shake which came in one size, but we ordered for delivery. We paid $32 before tip. I'm disappointed. The $14 halo halo didn't taste authentic, compared to other Filipino locations in the area. And it seemed like I was eating more milk and ice than toppings with the milk and ice. Each bite barely had any toppings. The medium shaved ice was small. I figured for $7 it would be a decent size. The dole whip shake was even smaller than the shaved ice. It was like a 8 oz cup for $10. I probably won't order from here again because it's not worth the money. read more

Boy, does this place get crowded at night I came in on a random weekday around 8 pm. (They are open pretty late. 9 pm and 9:30 on the weekend.) So that's great if you're in the area and are craving something sweet or wanting to meet up at a place like this with friends after work I will say, most of my rating has to do with customer service. And I did want to give this place 3 stars because of it. When I walked in there was only 1 guy in front of me. I figured the worker was in the back making his order. Soon there was a very large line. I kept going over to the wall to read the menu. And after a while that's when the worker saw me and came out to take everyone's order. They really need a little alarm ding sound on the door when someone walks in. Because we were all standing there for 10 minutes before the guy working here even came out to take care of the person in front of me and then everyone else's order. The dessert was really good. I got a large shaved ice with Ube ice cream in the middle. I got to pick three flavors. So I picked watermelon, orange creamsicle and blue Hawaiian. I did ask if they have any sugar free flavors (just so I can put it in here for people who have dietary restrictions) he said all syrups are made there and they don't offer sugar free. But you can always say go easy on the syrup. Once the workers came out from the back ( it was a young guy and a young girl working here) things did go pretty smooth. They give you a ticket and then call your number to come pick it up at the counter when it's ready. There's also a good amount of seating (benches up against the wall with chairs as well) They serve delicious dole whip and have a large menu Easy private parking And I thought the prices were reasonable. ESP for now of days It's located around a BUNCH of other coffee, dessert and food places read more

The Rice Krispies were separate so it didn't get soggy. Totally recommend Snowflakes! read more

Had to come for the local shave ice on a warm Sunday. The heritage of aloha in Santa Fe springs had ran out of ice near 4p. I promised my son I'll still get him.shave ice. Luckily, one is right down the street from the house. My son ordered a lemon lime and mango syrups with vanilla ice cream and condensed milk drizzle. Mine was all coconut syrup and ube ice cream. I had to add, fr home, coconut syrup drizzle, just to have more coconut flavor. We're we happy with our treats? Of course. read more
