    This is one of the best Bing su Korean shaved ice places in the area. (My other favorite is Sul and Beans in Cupertino). The fruit is fresh and sweet and they include a lot of it. I just wish they added mochi to the sweet sunset shaved ice, the. It would be perfect for me! They gave me a free birthday sundae to redeem for this whole month which was a cup of vanilla ice cream and sprinkles. Service was quick and there were plenty of tables to sit at, not too crowded. They have a nice air conditioned area to sit in.

    Build your own with watermelon, mango, and almond milk.

    Once again, another perfect ending to a Saturday with snowtime. Service is fast and friendly and the shaved ice is always perfect. Portions are huge and prices are fair. Parking can be a little tough, but just be patient. A perfect summer evening treat.

    double oreo snow It was a nice refreshing snow and was perfect to share with another person since its too much for one in my opinion. The vibe is nice but more casual compared to more modernized cafes

    Sweet Sunset snow and Biscoff Cheesecake snow
    Graschelle H.

    Super cute dessert spot with several fun bingsoo combinations to try. We tried the Sweet Sunset (strawberry and mango) snow and the Biscoff Cheesecake snow in the small size (~$11 each) which was a perfect amount to share between 2 people. Each came with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and condensed milk on top. Both were tasty and not too sweet, but the Biscoff Cheesecake one was definitely my favorite as someone with a sweet tooth. Would've loved to try the Dubai chocolate and strawberry snow! There is a self-ordering kiosk to browse the menu that also consisted of milk/fruit teas, matcha lattes, and taiyakis with a variety of fillings and soft serve flavor options. A bit more toppings and condensed milk would've been nice, but overall I enjoyed it and would return!

    First of all, the space is adorable. Minty teal walls, cute graphics, bright lighting. It's clean, modern, and photogenic. Espres-Snow (2/5) Visually pretty but I have some thoughts on taste. There were SO many toppings. Like... aggressively generous. Coffee jelly, cheesecake bites, almond cereal, ice cream. I saw looking forward to more actual snowy ice than toppings. it kind of got buried. And the coffee flavor, I was expecting a bold espresso punch. Instead, it leaned very sweet and milky. more dessert latte than coffee-forward. If you like sugary coffee drinks, you'll enjoy it. I just wanted more depth and bitterness to balance everything. Berry Mochi 3/5 (Friend got this "usually it's better) This one was pretty!! The strawberries look fresh! Taiyaki (plain) 2.5/5 Not super memorable unfortunately =/ also not super aesthetically pleasing. Is the cut outs supposed to look like that? Ambience: 5/5 Super cute date spot or girls' night dessert run.. Lots of seating. Overall 3/5 If you love loaded, sweet, Instagram-style shaved snow with ALL the toppings (this is your place)! If you're someone who prefers more ice, less chaos, and a stronger flavor base (especially for coffee)... you might want to ask for lighter toppings or reduced sweetness (if possible)?

    variety of snows

    I love snowtime!! I've tried several different snows here and they're all so delicious. Most recently I tried the biscoff cheesecake and it was amazing! It's very biscoff forward and kind of reminds me of cinnamon toast crunch cereal milk. Their snows can be sweet so I appreciate the complimentary water cups they provide. The taiyaki are great too!! Staff are chill, there's seating inside and outside, and it's cute inside! They had a promotion where you spend $20 and get a free pin too which was nice.

    strawberry mango snow
    Hannah D.

    I really enjoy this spot because the portions are much smaller than traditional bingsoo, making it perfect when you're craving something sweet without committing to a huge serving. It's also great for sharing a few different flavors with friends. On this visit, I ordered the Strawberry Mango Snow with extra condensed milk. Both were refreshing, flavorful, and not overly sweet. The fruit tasted fresh, and the extra condensed milk added the perfect amount of richness to every bite. Ordering was quick and convenient through the self-service kiosk, and our desserts were ready within just a few minutes. The process was smooth and efficient, making it an easy place to stop by for a quick treat. Another thing I appreciated was the spacious seating area. There was plenty of room to sit and chat, making it a great spot to catch up with friends over dessert. The toppings on the snow dessert were generous and complemented the shaved ice perfectly. Overall, if you're looking for a lighter, more manageable portion of bingsoo that still delivers on flavor, I would definitely recommend checking this place out. The desserts are delicious, the service is quick, and the atmosphere makes it a great place to relax and enjoy something sweet.

    Snowtime is so underrated! It's tucked away in Campbell, but if you're ever in the area, you need to give this spot a try! They serve a variety of drinks, taiyaki, and snow ice. The snow ice here is super soft and they do not skimp on the toppings! There is a huge variety, but my current favorite is the Strawberry Cheesecake one :) The peach lychee tea is also very refreshing. I got it 50% sweet with Lychee Jelly and it was the perfect afternoon treat. If you're not feeling something sweet, they have some savory taiyaki options too :) I really liked the pesto! The staff is super kind. Feel free to ask them for suggestions if you're unsure. They have a ton of seating and free wifi, so you could easily work here if you wanted to as well! Highly recommend!

    where did all the filling go? I opened it and it was bare
    Lynn T.

    More like 3.5 I've visited this shop 3 times in 2 weeks, this review is solely for the milk tea and mini taiyaki from my visits. - Jan 30: The first experience was to try the peach tea with mini taiyaki. The drink was perfectly made, and the taiyaki was warm, great filling ratio. I love nutella, cheese, and the blueberry cream cheese inside! My friend enjoyed her strawberry milk as well! So much that I came back a couple days later with my boyfriend. - Feb 2nd: Different worker made our taiyaki, I think he overfilled it so some of them had burnt pieces due to the filling coming out and getting onto the hot grill. One of the taiyaki was tore in half so it had no filling.. and when I bit into another one, there was no filling at all (please see photo). Lastly the thai tea was ok, super milkyyyyyy though - Feb 4th: My friend wanted a drink so I got her a matcha latte and she said it was good! Our brown sugar boba was ok. Very milky but the brown sugar boba was really yummy and soft. Overall, I wanted to really like this place but it's pretty inconsistent with whoever is working! I'd love to try their bingsu some other time

    Cookie butter matcha, and biscoff bingsu
    Ed A.

    I'm leaving another review because I've come to enjoy this place more and more over time. We've tried almost all the bingsu's, the matchas, and of course the ice cream. My favorites are the ube soft serve with the custard, the strawberry or biscoff bingsu, and the strawberry matcha. Although, honestly you can't go wrong with anything here! One anecdote I felt I HAD to share from earlier today: my wife's dad tried a bingsu for the first time ever, and he rarely eats desserts, but he fell in LOVE. The bingsu was so good it opened him up to an entirely new cuisine, and for that alone this deserves 6/5 stars!! Also Sara, the owner, has to be one of the sweetest and friendliest people I've ran into when going out for food. We're very happy to run into her when she's working. I hope Snowtime gets everything it deserves, it's easily my favorite local family owned business!

    Kiosk where you place your order
    Diane W.

    We were craving something sweet after lunch in Santa Cruz, so we stopped here in our way back home. We really loved their Korean shaved ice (BINGSU). I ordered a small berry mochi and my husband ordered the small caramel apple. We placed our order at the front kiosk and found a place to sit. I'd say it took about 10 minutes for our order to be ready. The berry mochi was so delicious and refreshing. It came with chopped strawberries, strawberry purée, mochi's and a small scoop of vanilla ice cream on top of the fluffy snow. The snow just melts in your mouth. What I love about this dessert is that it is not overly sweet. It sure hit the spot. My husband loved his caramel apple snow. It was chopped fresh apples, sliced almonds with graham cracker crumbs and a caramel sauce with cinnamon all on top of the snow. I tasted it and it was very good. It's really cutely decorated inside with plenty of seating options. I look forward to returning.

    Taiyaki
    Eugy H.

    Really good bingsoo place! The injeolmi and black sesame ones are 10/10. The small size is good for two people, and the regular size is good for 3-4 people. I'm not sure about the large size. I like that the pink soup is not too sweet and overwhelming with toppings. There was a good amount of mochi, powder, condensed milk, etc. I like that. They also layer the toppings at different level levels so that you're not left eating just shaved milk at the bottom. The taiyaki are also really good. Arguably I like it better than Somi Somi the mini ones are especially good if you want to try all the flavors. The ambience is casual and good for loud conversations and catching up with friends.

    I've been here a couple of times, back when they first opened in the 23 and just recently...a few days ago Snowtime is a small family owned chain with three locations; they started out in Arizona. This is the only one in California. Their specialty is bingsu (Korean Shaved Ice). "Every recipe from Snowtime's wide selection of shaved ice (bingsu), soft serve ice cream, boba tea, specialty drinks, and taiyaki is crafted in the family kitchen to freshly authentic deliciousness." - https://www.snowtimedesserts.com/about-us Fairly small venue with a few tables inside and a table for two outside as well. Parking can be a bit challenging, the storefront is a retail space under an apartment complex / condo building. No issues with service, staff were friendly and informative. #Bingsu: ~ MATCHA LOVE - 4.5/5 Just about a perfect Matcha Bingsu. Not too bitter or too sweet. The Red Bean paste was not too heavy and the Ice Cream was very good. The Mochi pieces were soft and supple. ~ STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE - 4.5/5 I'm not usually much of a Strawberry Dessert fan, but this was brilliant. Everything was excellent; form the Cheesecake to the sweet and ripe Strawberries. Not too sweet. ~ GOLDEN DUST - 4.5/5 Over the years I've grown fond of this flovor; konggaru (콩가루) in Korean: A roasted soybean powder that has a nutty and savory-sweet flavor. Very well done. The Red Bean paste was not too heavy and the the Mochi pieces were soft and supple. The Almond Slices were a nice touch as well. Good stuff... Now I just need to get around to trying other items on the menu.

I remember when this used to be a Coldstone Creamery and looks almost the same inside. You order from a person, not a tablet. The guy who served me was pleasant and my drink was made quickly. I like how they have a varied menu, not sure if they customize with less/more sweet/ice. The pineapple drink I got was really good and not super sweet. It did have a ton of jelly stuff at the bottom that was actually a little big for the straw, and I had a bit of a time drinking a bit of it! But it was good once I figured out what I was doing. They did have some seating outside and also inside. I don't think this is a location you would just stop by since parking at the Pruneyard can be hit and miss, but a great place to stop when you are here and ready for a cold beverage.

They also have boba tea (which also originated in Taiwan), milk tea, regular ice cream, freshly cooked Chinese finger foods, and more. The place has tables inside and out and is always immaculate. I also really appreciate that they don't add the problem of landfills overflowing with plastics! They use real dishes and real silverware. I don't know of any other place that conscientious. I have been going here for 8 years. It was started by a couple from Taiwan and the owners the last several years are from China. They keep the place open seven days a week, but even with that grueling work schedule, the customer service is always fantastic. They go out of their way to keep their customers happy. Apparently, I'm not the only one who loves the place, because when school gets out, the place is filled with teenagers and families with children. It's a great place to hang out. I've tried other places in the East Bay, but this is my absolute favorite place for Chinese shaved ice, boba tea, and other yummy foods. I can't recommend them highly enough!
