I keep coming back because of the quality of this place is not even close to lacking. Friendly atmosphere and great shaved ice. They make sure to include enough fresh fruit in the fruit bingsoos and overall won't skip out of the ingredients. P.S all the photos were from different times... meaning I went back and kept taking photos read more

I came here with two other friends. We got 2 items to share: 1 regular Injeolmi bingsoo and 1 large greentea bingsoo. I felt like the two was basically the same with the exception one has greentea powder and the other had soybean powder. I find the shaved ice here a lot more dense and of course it makes it a lot more filling compared to bingsoo at other places. The greentea bingsoo was my favorite. It had a nice flavor. There are greentea powder in the middle of the dessert. The greentea cake on the side was not bad. It was also nothing special. I have a feeling they probably didn't make those cube cakes inhouse. The Injeolmi bingsoo is probably something that I won't order again. Don't get me wrong, it was not bad. I am just not big on rice cake. The powder on the Injeolmi bingsoo was quite interesting. It had a nice smoky flavor to it. Both bingsoo was topped with redbeans. In terms of decor, the place is nothing fancy. It has tables and chairs so you can definitely dine in. The place is also a bit hidden behind a bus stop. The place can easily be missed. read more

they charge you just to sit in the restaurant. A couple of my friends and I went into the New West location earlier today. We were told that each person sitting at the table would have to spend a minimum of 5$ just to sit in the restaurant. There were 5 of us and we were wanting to share a 15$ regular sized bingsoo, but since we all didn't spend 5$ they didn't even allow us to order. We asked if then they could make it a togo order so we could eat it outside and she denied that as-well. I know it's 2025 now and prices are crazy, but I never thought i'd be denied service for wanting to purchase something to share. I used to love coming here but I don't plan on coming back with these outrageous seating prices. They are trying to up charge you so don't fall for it. read more

Lots of variety to choose from and it is huge. Should come with a warning sign or let us know how much each serves. We actually got 2 total and was struggling amongst 5 people and 3 of the 5 were guys and they tapped out. Not a bad spot to grab some desserts but don't expect for it to be quick cause it takes time to assemble this beauty. Not sure if it's a language barrier or what but the lady was not as friendly toward us. read more

Snowy village is my go to place for bingsoo!! I've tried so many bingsoo desserts in vancouver, and snowy village is one of my top favorites. I always go for injeolmi when I'm feeling something light and chewy, matcha when I'm craving something more flavorful, and strawberry when I want something fruity. The texture of the ice is perfect and shaved so finely and even has a creamy texture when you make the ice compact (if that makes any sense). They fill the inside with toppings as well, so it's not just the top that has toppings. I also love the crossiont taiyaki, as the outside is always perfectly crisp with a nice filling. It's usually pretty busy after lunch and dinner, but there are plenty of tables, so usually there is no wait. The service is good and very clean too! I recommend trying the Injeolmi, matcha, or strawberry bingsoo when you're craving a cold dessert! read more

Had Watermelon Bingsoo for dessert with friends after our dinner and it was very good. The milky shaved ice is perfect. It's not bland and not too sweet. The presentation was very appealing and really nice in pictures. The place was not busy maybe due to cold weather. Will definitely try other flavors next time. read more

Their bingsoo comes in a variety of flavors and sizes. The regular sizes are $10-11 and large sizes are $12-15. They also have seasonal flavors and yogurt ice for $15+. We decided to go with a regular matcha bingsoo. It came with matcha cake pieces, rice cakes, almond slices, matcha powder, red bean paste, and condensed milk. Things started going wrong when we started scooping the bingsoo into our individual bowls because it initiated a landslide of toppings from the middle. The cake pieces and rice cakes were falling off left right and center! The shaved ice was a flaky version of ice cream that resembled powdered snow. Even though everything was dusted with matcha powder, it wasn't bitter. At first it was creamy and enjoyable but as we got towards the end, it became too sweet from the condensed milk drizzled between the layers. Not sure if we would get this again but it was pretty tasty! read more

Expresso Milk Bingsoo Review: This review may be a bit tmi so I'm sorry Well my friends and I went for korean food (look at previous post) then we decided it would be really coolio if we went for bingsoo after. Turns out... that wasn't a really smart choice cuz I fr threw up on the escalator coming down from the skytrain and my friends threw up in the church bathroom so uh The bingsoo was super pretty. I'll give it that. Literally aesthetic 101. I don't know if it's the bingsoo THERE (Coquitlam location) but last time we went for watermelon bingsoo 2/3 of us felt super sick after too. The thing is last time we ate poke so I thought it may be the combination of raw fish with cold food but this time all the food we ate was fully cooked... I don't really think I will ever come here again for their bingsoo again. To give this place the benefit of the doubt, it may be because we ate before so I would give it too too low of a rating. Rating: 3.5/10 read more

I found the Robson location to be more organized and cleaner than this one. This location just felt chaotic when it was super busy. If there is a line up, make sure you put your name down on the clipboard or else other people will jump the queue. Also, the estimated wait time is inaccurate because it is hard to predict when customers leave after they are done eating. Once you are seated, you place your order at the cash register and the staff will ask where about you are seated. The server will call out your order number when you dessert is ready. They should upgrade to a mic system of some sort. I felt bad for the server calling out people's names and order numbers. I can only imagine how sore her throat is after a shift. The mango bingsoo is very good. I really enjoy the shaved milky ice and mango pieces. read more

Relatively new to Coquitlam, this is one of my new favourite dessert places. I brought my co-workers here for dessert after dinner and after six there's free parking right in front! We ordered two bingsoo to share and it was a good amount for all of us to be satisfied. We ordered a mango bingsoo ($10) and Oreo bingsoo ($8) in regular size. The staff were very friendly and helpful, showing me the two sizes and offered to let me bring it over to my co-workers to discuss what size we wanted! It was ready in about 10 minutes. We started on the mango bingsoo. The mango was sweet and not overpowering the light bingsoo. Everyone made a similar comment of how light and not too sweet it was. Lots of nods of approval. They gave us small bowls and spoons to share. Then we moved onto the Oreo one which was a bit sweeter and less of a flavour and texture contrast than the mango. It was good nonetheless! We shared two bingsoo between five people and felt it was a good amount. After we sat around and chatted for a while, they were thoughtful and asked if we needed water too! A nice, quaint, and brightly lit dessert place :) read more

Came here Saturday evening around 10pm. Our party of 10 got told it would be a 30-minute wait (which turned out to be quite untrue -- at least 3 tables cleared within 15min), so we decided to order to go and eat at a friend's apartment upstairs. That turned out to be a terrible decision because (1) they don't have anything regular-sized to go, so my friend with whom I was splitting had to "upgrade" for $4; and (2) the bingsoo wasn't nearly as nice in a to-go container (where was my whipped cream??!!). So that brought the place down to 2.5-3 stars, regardless of what the thing tastes like... But what made things worse was that one of my friends ordered a green tea and got a mango order instead...... There was no way to verify her order because no receipt was given (just a number), and the lady didn't seem like she was about to offer a replacement. My friend was extremely bummed out but didn't want to make an issue of it. So that's down to 1.5-2 stars. The 10 of us ended up with 3 large mango bingsoos... which tasted ok, but it sure would've been nice to be able to try at least 1 other flavour! read more

Snowy Village - A large mango bingsoo -- definitely not as pretty to-go as eat-in... - Desserts Near Me - Coquitlam, British Columbia

Place was quite busy when we came on the Monday of New Years long weekend in the afternoon. Luckily the turnover is quick. We ordered the injeolmi bingsu to share. The regular size is quite large in itself. We also ordered the 3 for $10 taiyaki which we intended to take leftovers home. The injeolmi was quite good and the shaved ice itself is refreshing. I would want to try the green tea and the mango as well though the mango isn't available until later in January. As for the taiyaki, we had the red bean injeolmi, Nutella and sweet potato. I heard that the custard is the sweetest of the options so your choice might depend on how big your sweet tooth is! The Nutella was my favorite. The others were not for me. You Can also order to go and they give you these spacey looking bags to keep everything cool For your trip. Otherwise if you stay, look forward to some k-pop and a room full of loud teenagers ! read more

I have been here at least 3-4 times now. It is a pretty cute place, a little on the cool side, clean restrooms, lots of space and they even have these little freezer bags for your take out. The portions are big so two can finish an order unless you are really hungry. No need to waste anything. I would recommend trying their fish shaped sweets as well because it is cute and you can have it here or the Richmond Night Market- why fight the crowds and traffic when you can have one in peace. My favorite would have to be the mango and the espresso. I would recommend those ones. There is a lot of street parking everywhere so circle around for a two block radius and you'll be able to find something. read more

Pass on this dessert place. Customer service was poor and the dessert was just okay. Not worth the price they charge. read more

I wanted to try this place since it opened, but there is always a line up. Luckily on a Friday early afternoon, it wasn't packed. The place was actually bigger than what I expected. There were several tables but i think they can accommodate a couple more tables. We ordered a large mango bingsoo and just shared it amongst us. The regular size costs $10, so we just upsized it for $4 more. It is great that they give you small bowls as these desserts are made to be shared. The bingsoo was packed with smooth, creamy ice and the cubed mangos were fresh and sweet. You can opt to have half and half for the topping which will set you back a dollar more. I wish they would give you some water to go along with your dessert. Or at least have a water station where the customers can serve themselves. We were full from our lunch but maybe next time, I would try the taiyaki and will definitely get the mango bingsoo again. Cash and debit only. read more

The experience having shaved ice at this Coquitlam location is very different from that in Richmond. You would significantly get more topping underneath the ice in the bingsoo in the Richmond location. Smaller portion and more subcharges here....little details like this counts. I might come back due to the fact the very limited dessert places options in tricities read more

This chain serves Korean Bingsu (shaved ice desert) with milky ice, red bean and some different toppings such as fruit. The other thing they have is a fish shaped croissant like pocket (they actually use croissant dough different than traditional style) and various filling ranging from red bean, Nutella to savoury. We've enjoyed coming here when it's hot, hard to find seating when it's busy especially if you're a larger group. Fun place to go if you're walking around pine tree / glen drive. read more

The Oreo one absolutely could be shared with your partner. That is really huge finishing. read more

*This is my first experience trying shaved ice* I really enjoyed my food. I could have lived without the cheese toast and fruit flies. Service was good and my favourite with the matcha. It is opened late when I went out with gfs. I would def recommend taking my kids here. Living in Port Moody, we don't have a lot of the great Asian places like coquitlam centre does read more

Customer service experience: *walks up to counter to order* Me: Hello, I'd like one regular Green tea bingsoo... Server: It's going to take about 30 mins. *starts thinking...oh are they out of green tea? Or should I change my flavour?* Me: Oh... wow ok how come? Server: Well, all of you order at the same time. Do you see all these receipts up here by the bar? All of these are before you *points to the back prep station* So you're going to have to wait. Me: Wow, ok. Another regular chocolate bingsoo please. Server: Sigh... I was honestly thinking to myself "ok you're pretty much persuading me not to order because you're busy?" There are more effective ways of advising your customers that "it could be a little wait". Food: It's pretty big even for a regular size. Chocolate was great, so was the mango. Although I believe there's a mix of frozen mango and fresh mango. Friend had green tea and it too, was awesome. Started to feel cold half way through, so it's a good thing the heat was up in the store. The bingsoo is worth the price, it's tasty and you'll get your money worth in size. Would love to try the Taiyaki next time we're here. read more

Was yummy but it took so long. It's 26 degrees in here and I waited 30 mins for bingsoo and another 30 for taiyaki.

Great desserts and my favourites are the Oreos and mango ice and the teyaki fish (my favourite is pizza but my mom and bff's favourite is red bean). Friendly staff and a few spots to sit.

Portions are always big at Snowy Village, you can share one shaved ice for two or three people. Only draw back with this location is that parking can be a bit tough to find but there is paid street parking and free side street parking a bit further away. read more

So this will be an odd review since I'm lactose sensitive and didn't try the bingsoo myself. My sisters tell me that they were very good though, so I'll relay that here. I did try the taiyaki, which was tasty. The filling is scorchingly hot in the beginning so eat with care. There is parking but it's only four spots inside a gated parking lot that requires a code that you have to get from the employees inside, which was a bit of a hassle. Neat but wouldn't frequent the business just based on the parking situation. Cash and debit only. read more

It's ok. $8-$10 for medium and about $14-16 for large. Size is ok. Adult can share a large. Not a place I would go frequently. No parking. Street parking is already very limited. Oh. They don't take credit cards. Cash and debit only. Probably to avoid business taxes. read more

Didn't have mango for an entire of a month +. This is ridiculous for a place that serves desserts. However, parking is old in the area. Prices are on the more expensive side and the shaved ice desserts are just average. The room was very moist and hot because my glasses fogged up immediately when opening the doors and didn't clear up for about 5 minutes, literally. read more

Great experience at Snowy Village! Although it was quite warm, the bingsoo made it all better. We were directed to sit wherever we like once we entered, and order at the counter when we are ready. Our green tea bingsoo came promptly and it was delicious. The large bingsoos are large enough for two people to walk out stuffed! read more

I really enjoy the Bingsoo at Snowy Village but the greet absolutely lacks basic customer service skills. I've been to his location many times and I always have the female greeter (thin,glasses, pony tail) literally speed walk up within a foot of me and just ask "For here or to go?" It honestly takes me a second to process what's going on because she blocks me from moving any further into the restaurant. I have to warn anyone I come with because someone almost end up having a heart attack. I watch guests come in and they seemed so surprised with her mannerism. I don't really blame the greeter for being awkward as hell, this is the responsibility of the management team/ owner of this establishment to provide proper training. I've also had a cashier take my order when this same greeter will yell "EXCUSE ME, SORRY" and literally walk right in front of me and pickup orders at the counter. I will admit though, she doesn't appear to have an issue dropping off orders at table. "Strawberry bingsoo? Thank you"... reasonable. I also had my order screwed up after writing this review.. but the person behind the counter did come over to the table and apologize. My review score doesn't reflect this mishap. Shit happens; we all mistakes TL;DR Food is good, Greeter may put you into cardiac arrest. You've been warned. read more

Good! The bingsoo (Korean-style shaved ice) is mysteriously fluffy and tasty... we ordered the large green tea ($12), there was plenty to share for two. Snowy Village did not skimp on the filling, there was matcha and red bean throughout. We also ordered the taikyaki ($3.50 each, or $10 for 3) - I had the sweet potato which was tasty, the kid enjoyed the custard but I didn't think it was that good. They were busy even on a cold wintry day, so think about getting there early if you don't like waiting. Or, get takeout. Pay parking on the street from 8 to 6 weekdays. read more

Personally don't understand the hype around snowy village. I've been seeing instagram posts and people talking about this place for a while now, but being in Vancouver and knowing the dessert scene, I don't really understand it. Don't get me wrong, bingsoo here isn't bad, but it's also nothing great. Comparing the price you're paying for what you're getting this is the best I can give them. Other things to consider is that snowy village is usually packed, so seating may be rough if you're coming around dessert time. read more

No sign that says "please wait to be seated" or "please seat yourself". But they follow the 'Seat yourself' etho here. The store setting is simple and sleek. Tables are movable, making it accessible for large parties. It is very warm in-store, the smell of the taiyakis toasting mask the air making it seem more stuffy than it really is. The guy that took orders was not very friendly imo. It might be because they were short staffed but then again, its during a late afternoon on a thursday. He straight up looked at me, with not a smile, no expression and said "you gotta wait 30 mins for bingsoo". "Oh really?" I asked. "Ya, everyone ordered the same time". Ok... I ordered anyway. Iced lemonade & mango bingsoo. The order finally came and the picture speaks for itself . The shaved ice was sweet yet not too sweet. It tasted somewhat coconut-ty and milky at the same time. The texture of the ice was soft and creamy. The taste of the mangos were just enough to add a little more flavour to the dessert. Regular size was big enough for 2 to share as your mouth will gradually get numb from the cold dessert. All and all - 4 star for the taste & 2 star for the service read more

Visited Snowy Village a couple months after they opened with a few friends and didn't really know exactly what to expect. Seemed quite trendy at first glance and I could already tell this would be one of my favourite dessert places within walking distance to my house. It was a little confusing when we first entered though, one of the staff asked how many and sat us down at a table with our menu's. We awkwardly sat there waiting for someone to come take our order until we found out you actually have to go up to the till and place your order( a little weird as there were literally 3 employees standing up front just waiting). Anyways, because there was 3 of us we ordered a large Oreo which came to about $15, FYI they only accept cash and debit so for $5 a person you can't really go wrong. When it is ready they bring it to your table and we got our yum yum on! Cool place, already been back on numerous occasions. Check it out :D read more
