SnoCream Company

Great little place to pick up a sweet treat! We got the Thai tea shaved ice / bingsoo with banana, Frosted Flakes and boba. It was literally overflowing (we needed a lot of napkins). Decent price for such a large portion. Definitely coming again :)

It was okay. I was disappointed since it’s been years since I’ve had Asian shaved ice, and we drove out an hour to get here. The DF options are the worse flavors. Just watery and flavorless. The only bites that tasted good were the ones that had condensed milk on them, and that was only about 10% of the cup. They should definitely consider doing the drizzle in multiple layers of the cup. I tried looking at the menu with the QR code, but it doesn’t work.

This wasn't my first time trying shaved ice cream, so I had high hopes after looking at the pictures. I ordered the mango and black sesame flavors, topped with lychee jelly and mochi. Unfortunately, I didn't enjoy the mango flavor. The black sesame was better but still not as good as I expected. They offer a good variety of unique flavors that I haven't seen elsewhere, but the taste could use some improvement. The place itself has a cool vibe. I liked the atmosphere, with a bar and various food options in the food hall.

It's not ice cream and it's not shaved ice, but both and served in a bowl. Definitely something new for me and and quite a treat.

Went to "The block" today to try SnoCream. I ended up ordering the regular sweet cream icecream with oreo and coconut shavings. It was good. No complaints. Can't say I can rave about anything special. They had a good choice of toppings, and service was fantastic.

We got black sesame with fruity pebbles and Oreos. But it is way too sweet and the quality has gone down. I wish i got a refund… It used to be milky and flavorful, but it is icy and watery with no flavor.

I really wanted to love this place since it reminded me of another snocream spot (different company same kind of product) when I lived in Hawaii. Unfortunately, I would agree with other reviews that it tastes watery and not so flavorful. The toppings were good though. I will probably come another time to try another flavor in hopes of changing my mind.

one of the best desserts in the dmv, probably even the one of the best in the world. snow cream basically shaved ice cream with the most delicious toppings and drizzles. they have tons of unique flavors that are hard to come by like pandan, thai tea, and black sesame. they have a wide range of toppings from bananas, to red beans, and just about every other tasty topping you can think of. you can’t get a snow cream without finishing it off with a drizzle of chocolate, strawberry, or my all time favorite condensed milk. i love to experiment with different flavor and topping combos every time i visit. i love that they have an option where you can split the base between two flavors to try more. snow cream comes with two free topping and one free drizzle but i like to pile on to my heart’s content. i have yet to try any of there bubble teas or ice creams because the snow cream is so tempting. the vibe of this place immaculate! the colors, lights, and music all make it a great experience. while at the block make sure to also check out other vendors like ball kitchen and hold dumpling. everyone should try snow cream at least once in their life.

Tuck inside the block, snocream offers a variety of flavors and toppings so you can mix and match and find the perfect blend to satisfy your icecream needs ! It's not the most affordable icecream but for all the things you can get on it, it's worth it !

Met up with some friends and ordered a mango green tea with strawberry popping jelly, and then about an hour later, an ice cream cone with a cookie butter scoop. The tea was solid and hit. Refreshing to drink with my poke bowl from the vendor next to them. And then, an hour later, went to the line and ordered the ice cream which was solidly sized, sweet, and creamy. Can't complain. It was around 9pm and only two people were working, so if there's a long line, it can take a second to get your ice cream. The vibe is loud cause you're at a food hall lol. Def a cool spot to hang.

This review pertains solely to the snocream. I finally had the opportunity to try it, and I found it just okay. I sampled the black sesame and pandan; while the black sesame was the standout, I believe the flavor could be enhanced. The pandan was somewhat too sweet for my taste, and the mochi was difficult to chew. Perhaps other flavors are better? Idk ...maybe next time, I'll try the ash coconut ice cream.

The wife's Snocream was Strawberry, Cookies & Cream, Mochi, Gummy Bears, Condensed Milk, delicious. My cone was Viêt Coffee, Choco Salted Caramel Almond also very good We loved it. They had a great selection of flavors.

FOOD We ordered 2 Snocream bowls: one mango with condensed milk, tapioca pearls, and mochi and one pandan with condensed milk, tapioca pearls, and mochi. The pandan flavor is still their best flavor, and the mango one tasted much more artificial (not as enjoyable as the former). Since the last time I went, the bowls have definitely shrunk while the prices have increased, but given the times, I'm not surprised. DRINKS We tried their ube latte, and it's definitely something I would avoid. When I first sipped it, the ube flavor was perfect and the drink creamy, but as I kept on drinking it, the purple food coloring coated my tongue, and I couldn't stop tasting a metallic aftertaste. If craving an ube dessert, I would get their ube ice cream instead. SERVICE The staff are kind and friendly. AMBIANCE The Block is always bustling, and Snocream being the only dessert place there, is always busy. Tables are difficult to come by during mealtimes, but between rushes, it's relatively quick and quiet. PARKING Ample parking is available in the lot.

This place is a part of The Block; a sort of cool food court with multiple eateries, and communal dining. I tried SnoCream's boba tea, I thought it was pretty good. The tea was tasteful, and the boba soft, chewy and lightly sweet.

LOVE LOVE LOVE the Ash Coconut Ice cream!!! This is my absolute go to flavor and it's a NO BRAINER for me!

They serve tasty customizable Bingsu. Snocream is a little pricey but the fact that they flavor their shaved ice is delicious and unique. We got the milk tea flavored shaved ice and loved it! The mochi and mango toppings we chose paired well. Condensed milk should be included rather than an extra charge. I would come back to try another flavor of shaved ice.

The drinks that we got were great! I appreciated the quantity size too, it was huge. It was cool that it was within a food hall so we had food options available for us too.

I absolutely love how this place has evolved. I've been a fan since the bus days and the consistency and quality of product has never wavered through the years. It's only gotten better. I still can't waiver from the snocream but it's still some of the best stuff ever. Light, fluffy, airy and yet creamy when you eat it. The options for toppings is endless and so many variations if you wanna switch up your choice. I love that I can come here and get something very Asian traditional but I can bring people who aren't so traditional and they can still enjoy with flavors like chocolate or coffee. Honeydew continues to be one of my favorites- taste just like eating the melon. And when it's not sold out the black sesame is fire. But don't just come here for snocream. You can tea with boba or other fillings. Or soft serve. Or a milkshake. Or ice cream. No matter what, you won't be disappointed.

Great experience there! Honey boba and matcha milk tea with 75% sweetness. This was probably the most delicious boba tea I've ever had. It was made quite well and I especially enjoyed the creaminess combined with the matcha flavor and how all those ingredients came together. If I ever come back I would love to try their shaved ice.

I love Snocream! I remember when they were serving out of their bus, and now they're located in the block, food dining hall. I took my son to get a snocream and he said it was so delicious. He got the strawberry flavor with Boba an Oreo with condensed milk drizzle. I got the green tea flavor (my favorite flavor) with grass jelly, lychee, jelly, and condensed milk. Can't wait to go again!

The fruity teas, the ube latte, and all three of the ice creams are always delicious (snocream, scooped ice cream, and weekly soft serve). If you sign up for their rewards, you also get a free drink on your birthday!

Some of the BEST! Got a double scoop ice cream of their ube and matcha Oreo and my fiance for the matcha Oreo and viet coffee. I would have loved to include a photo, but once I had one bite I couldn't stop until it was gone! Ice cream was to die for. Flavor and texture were both to die for. Perhaps a new favorite local ice cream spot!

Was trying to go somewhere else for dessert but their kitchen was closed at 9:00pm. This place came up on my Yelp and it was still open (amazing for a Tuesday night in Annandale!) This spot is located inside the far right interior of the block. The lines get confusing, but once you're in the back right corner, you'll see the register. Late at night, you won't have too many options for the actual snow ice cream, at least that was the case for my party of 3. Service was pretty fast considering how crowded it was (yes it's still packed at night!) the tables nearby were all taken, but any seat / table at the block is fair game at this hour. We ended up getting a milk tea and green tea mix base, with mochi x2, and condensed milk drizzled. For about $10-12, this was a refreshing dessert after a hot summer day of 94°F weather. The mochi was a nice touch at the top, and the tea flavored ice really tasted like boba but in shaved ice form. My only wish was that they add a TINY bit more condensed milk as a drizzle. Other than that, no complaints!

I got the regular sized ice cream including one scoop. The length of time that u had to wait for my ice cream was relatively short. Only had to wait about 5 minutes after ordering. In addition, the portion size was extremely generous and was a great amount for the price of $8. Overall I would give this place a nice rating of 4/5 stars.

I love pandan and taro flavors. The pandan is so good. I love the texture of the taro sno as well. This is located in the back right of the Block food hall. Sometimes there aren't a lot of tables because the food hall can get very busy. You can easily grab food with your desserts at this food hall as well.

Fun ice cream shop, among my favorite ice cream spots in the DMV area! Been here over a dozen times over the years and keep coming back. The classic Oreo Matcha is hands-down my favorite, the combo is divine and the Oreos help to sweeten the Matcha. I love how you can get a free topping and drizzle of your choice! Adding Oreos and Nutella drizzle is the cherry on top! The flavored cones are fun and Black Charcoal is my pick followed by the red velvet cone. Note that the cone is pretty fragile and collapsed when I gripped it hard. I got a cup and crushed the cone in small pieces, score! While I've explored other flavors like Cookie Butter and Dark Chocolate, the ice cream isn't always fresh and sometimes has freezer burns. Wish there was a split scoop option as it would be nice to pair flavors, as the ice cream can be excessive and the staff isn't very accommodating when I've asked for less. The service can be stand-offish. Overall, great ice cream shop and I stop by for some dessert when I'm in the area!

First tried SnoCream many many years ago when they were selling out of a truck next to The Block. Most recently, I took my kids there since they have never had SnoCream. We made the mistake of ordering a bowl for each of us. The bowls are too much for one person. I wish they served a smaller size for a cheaper price rather than just the one size. I love the flavors they offer and all the different toppings. Definitely a delicious treat on a hot summer day!

SnoCream is situated in the back right of The Block with options for snocream (Taiwanese inspired: hybrid between shaved iced and ice cream), ice cream, and bubble tea, and with mainly asian flavors like milk tea, black sesame, pandan, taro, ube, etc. We got the pandan snocream with mochi and lychee boba, and ube and pandan ice cream. Each snocream is enough for 1-2 people. The flavors were great and delicious, wish they were a bit creamier (but that's my preference). I would recommend the snocream if you've never had it before as it's soft and melts in your mouth. We came on a Thursday night and it was pretty busy for a weekday night as most tables were taken. There is a bar and other food vendors at The Block. It's in a plaza so plenty of parking.

Servers are always friendly! It's in the block food hall so there's a lot of seats indoors and also outdoors but can get crowded. I love the texture of SnoCream since it's so soft and easy to eat! Pandan - 5/5 so yummy and soft Milk tea - 3/5 taste like generic store brand milk tea Lychee jelly - 4/5 taste same as every other place Boba 3.5/5 sweet and nice chew

Bowl sales end at 9:30pm, so just a warning if you are planning to come after that. Workers handed us a dripping bowl with ice cream leaking down the sides with zero regard. Flavor is good, but the soured the experience.

Its been 6+ years since I've been to the Block. It used to be the first food hall and the 'it' place to be for Asians, and it looks mostly the same. It was trivia night I believe and it was definitely more non-Asians throughout the place. Came here to get SnoCream, black sesame with coconut, frosted flakes, and condensed milk drizzle...so good! May return to try other vendors

Located in the back right side of THE BLOCK. I got the ube ice cream and I enjoyed it for sure! I haven't had ube in years so this was definitely extremely nostalgic! Was very creamy If you come during the weekend, prepare to expect a packed place!

Located inside the popular Block Food Hall, this is the go-to spot for some tasty dessert to finish a night. The snocream texture is similar to shaved ice, but a bit more soft. They have a wide variety of flavors and toppings so you can create your own favorite combo. I got their Honeydew Snocream with aloe and lychee jelly.

My taste buds dance with delight every time I indulge in my beloved bingsoo, a Korean shaved ice dessert that has stolen my culinary heart

SnoCream is a solid place to get a sweet cold dessert. The dessert spot is situated in a food hall called the Block and offers various desserts from bubble tea, halo halo, and their namesake Sno Cream - which is essentially ice cream the texture of snow. There is plenty of seating in the food hall and there is often music playing. I'd definitely recommend going here if you want a spot to hang out with friends. Service is often quick, but can really depend on what you order as they have to take time to shave the ice cream block if you order snow. All of their dessert options are really solid, but I would recommend getting sno cream or one of their unique ice cream flavors like ash coconut if you want to make the most of your visit. Some cool and unique flavors I'd recommend to try out are black sesame and pandan. The bubble tea here is pretty generic and there aren't as many options compared to a regular bubble tea store.

If you haven't checked out this place, add it to your list! I've been coming here for years and it is always a great experience for something sweet. I love to get the drinks and the ice cream because they have such interesting and different flavors. No typical chocolate and vanilla, these ice cream flavors are Ube, black sesame, cinnamon toast crunch, coconut, lychee, sweet cream, matcha Oreo, fruity pebbles, etc. Right now they still aren't offering samples because of COVID which is kind of frustrating, but all are good. Most recently, I had the fruity pebbles ice cream with fruity pebbles topping and condensed milk on top. It was amazing, I highly suggest it. The cinnamon toast crunch was good but the flavor was a little too strong for me. It did have cinnamon toast crunch bits in it! Their bubble tea is fantastic, one of my favorites is the ube latte. There are seats indoor and outdoor for big groups, though this place is always packed. I even went at 930 on a Friday and it was hard to find a table. They also have a live DJ some nights too.

A fantastic location with a variety of bubble tea and treats worth trying! I also enjoy when they create special themed food creations.

The mango snow cream is soooo good. We were looking for ice cream and decided to try this instead. So gals we did. Highly recommend!

One of my favorite places for shaved ice! Love their black sesame, taro, and Thai tea flavors. I typically always get Oreo and mochi as toppings and then switch between condensed milk and Nutella for drizzle. Good size for sharing with 1 or 2 others!

ORDER - Matcha Milk and milk Tea with Boba and Mochi - Thai Milk Tea and Ube with Boba and Mochi - Fruity Pebble Ice Cream The boba is soft and chewy with a nice sweet flavor that doesn't take away from the overall bowl. The mochi is chewy (not overly hard) with fruity flavors that also added to the Sno-Cream. I really liked the texture of the shaved milk and the flavors were well-represented and delicious. The fruity pebble ice cream was very distinct and tasted good. Quite a unique flavor that I would be down to order again. SERVICE There was only one person working so it took a while to get an order despite there being no one before us in line. However, the worker was a really nice person who double-checked our order and was super careful with packing it to-go.

A lovely indulgence inside The Block in Annandale. I loved the honey dew ice cream the most, though the cookies n' cream was good too, and I topped them Frosted Flakes and nilla wafers. All sweet, all good. And my daughter tore into her Mango with mochi and honey boba, with honey butter on top. My wife's Matcha Oreo with Nutella topping was unfortunately a disappointment: the flavors were fine, but the quality of the ice cream was poor. Luckily, she was happy to share mine instead.

I've been going to SnoCream since it started in the bus and still a big fan of their shaved ice. I think it might be one of fav (besides Soricha) since they have so many different flavors and toppings. And they're personal size! Also, the texture is soft... I think the portions are more 2 people worth, but depends on each person. You can get 2 flavors and up to 2 toppings included. My favorite flavors are mango and pandan. I usually get mochi and fruity pebbles. Always condensed milk drizzle!

Located inside the block, good place for some after dinner dessert with some Asian/specialty flavors. The snow creams are always a delight and the black sesame drizzle is always our favorite (they were out this time). Their ice creams are pretty good too! The Raspberry Lychee Rose flavor is exactly what I imagine eating perfume was like if perfume was edible and delicious.

This was a delicious and satisfying experience on a warm February day! My wife and I tried the Snocream with a green tea shaved ice cream as the base, honey boba (highly recommended), mochi, and condensed milk drizzled over the shaved ice (also recommended). The SnoCream is interesting and tastes like a mix of soft-serve ice cream and shaved ice. Wow - this was a delightful combination of flavors (especially the honey boba and mochi with the green tea shaved ice cream). The portion size is huge (I think it's easier to share among 2 people). If you're a light eater, it could even be shared among 3 people. After you walk inside the Block's main entrance (which is in the same shopping plaza as the K-Market), you'll see a large sign that says "SnoCream" to your right. The food hall has some limited seating, but it's easy to take outside to eat back in the car. We will definitely return with my two teenage sons (16 yrs; 14 yrs) so they can try out the Snocream and tea!

Always love supporting small businesses especially when the owner and staff are genuinely nice people who love their jobs. You are immediately greeted with warm welcomes from a staff that is ready to serve. With the large variety of flavors and toppings on the menu, they have no problem providing recommendations. They also have fun rotating specials so you can change it up between bubble tea, soft serve, and shaved ice. We went with the Thai milk tea and the their black sesame flavored ice cream. Both were as delicious as they sound! I would highly recommend both for anyone looking to satisfy that sweet tooth craving! Honestly I feel like you can go wrong with any of the flavors so I'll be back a few times to try everything!

Love going here, but the prices are now so high, we won't go visit as often! They also got rid of their coffee chelo, which was my favorite!

This was my first time trying snocream, and I was pleasantly surprised. If you're a fan of ice cream and want a refreshing treat, you should try it! The bowls are enough to split between 2 people, which is nice considering they are ~$8 each. There is plenty of seating inside the Block as well, but it's usually pretty full. My group ordered 2 bowls of half strawberry and mango, but they ended up being 80% strawberry, 20% mango. Not sure if they were running low on mango, but this was a little disappointing. Overall a nice experience - I would definitely come back for more snocream!

Located in "The Block" food hall in Annandale, the whole experience is perfect for date night, happy hour or if you just want to grab drinks, food and dessert all in one place, this spot is perfect! Definitely skeptical about trying since I'm not a big boba tea person, HOWEVER, the yummy snow cream had me craving for more and more, after every bite! Several flavor options so you're definitely find a flavor, or two, that you will like and the prices are very reasonable. I topped my 2 flavor choice with pudding and Nutella and the rest is history!

This Was Amazing! Lots of different flavor from drinks and combinations you could create. I loved my Brown Sugar Boba and my boyfriend had the Lychee Green Tea slush with Green apple jelly has him craving more!

Vegan Friendly?: Yes, there are a lot of options, way more than I was expecting from bubble tea to coffee, and certain snocream options Interior: It's located in the Block so it's a fun hip vibe! The available seating is not bad but it does get loud pretty quickly due to The Block being very popular Food Breakdown: - Snocream (5/5) I didn't know what to expect but it's very good. It was very light but filling at the same time due to the toppings and drizzle. I can't wait to go back because it was different than normal ice cream but has a lot of fun flavors that mimic some of my favorite bubble tea (Green Tea and Cookie & Cream) so best of both worlds! - Pink Drink (3/5) Don't get me wrong I think it was a good drink but lorddddd way too much sugar. I was only able to drink half before it become too much. If you decide to get it, make sure to tone it down with sugar like 70%. But I would for sure get it again. Portion Size: Very good! Price: Good Service: Very nice cashier Would I go Back: 100% ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Overall Thoughts: So I have been to The Block before and I always enjoy the vibes and the different places in it so I was very happy to find out that Snocream was also located in The Block. I decided to not play it safe and try their ice cream which they are known for. But I also needed to try their bubble tea to make sure I got a better idea of the place. Very glad to say I loved the place and the vibe, for sure cant wait to go back!

Love coming here for desserts! I typically get the ice cream here - I really like the Asian inspired flavours like Viet coffee and Pandan Mochi. Their snocream is pretty good too with different toppings and flavours. The snocream is pretty one of the lesser sugary items in my opinion, well, unless you put a whole bunch of toppings and syrups on it. The bubble tea here is pretty standard too, but I go mostly for the ice cream and snocream. I just wish their soft serve wasn't out every weekend - I only go during the weekends and they have monthly soft serve flavours that they decorate pretty. I think they have a Pandan and Vanilla Swirl for October. Also it seems like they're selling Pokémon Oreos for $10 here. Lol.

Talk about an experience! This place has so many options and unique flavors, I happily did some research before visiting! I love it's location in The Block. I decided to go with the SnoCream after reading the reviews. I got the mango and Thai tea flavors with double mochi topping and condensed milk. I don't remember what hubby got but his was delicious too. (See pics) Talk about good. The texture was like snow. Light and fluffy but PACKED with flavor. The mango and Thai tea sno flavors fit together so nicely; they didn't clash and weren't too sweet. I live 100 miles away and I'm more than willing to make that drive just to get other people to try it.

We stopped by The Block for dinner and decided to order a drink from SnoCream since we loved their Sno so much (see previous review). I ended up ordering an Ube Latte with Boba and it was so pretty - looked just like how it was advertised. However, the drink was overwhelmingly sweet. We were able to taste a little bit of the Ube flavor, but it was overpowered by the sugar. If we come back to try another drink, we will definitely ask for less sugar.

Ordered the brown sugar milk tea with boba at 75% sweetness! It was quite delicious! Service was fast and I was well satisfied. Would definitely come back!

So...I wrote my review here over 3 years ago & I about died of laughter reading it. Needless to say I was testing out my Yelp legs, lol. Anyhoo, SnoCream, for those that (shockingly) have "Sno" idea, is a Taiwanese-inspired twist on traditional ice cream. According to them, they describe it as a hybrid between shaved ice and ice cream and it has a snow like texture and creamy ice cream like taste. Let me just tell you It's amazing and you should try it! You can get all sorts of really cool and different flavors like honeydew, pandan, or black sesame, and they have fun toppings like pocky stick, Captain Crunch, and Mochi to name a few. They also have soft serve, teas and special treats. It is located inside The Block; an institution in itself and a really cool place to vibe with lots of great eats! Hope you like this review better than my last! ;) hahaha

I got the a small shaved ice with taro and green tea ice cream with lychee and mochi on top and it was delicious. The green tea ice cream wasn't that sweet so I preferred the taro ice cream but the toppings were great!

The purple and pink drinks are my go-to orders I alternate between although I rarely go to Snocream these days. This time I chose the purple drink. It is very refreshing with its use of coconut water, lime, and lychee with yakult complementing the flavor profile decently. Because the purple drink specifically is pre-made, you can't adjust the sugar level, which is unfortunate given it's rather sweet. Boba drinks are sugary by nature but this drink is caffeine-free. That may or may not contribute to the level of sweetness but wanted to put that out there. The lime flavor was more prominent than expected but not overpowering but the ratio of the ingredients did feel a little off to me, while still being tasty. I would still get the purple drink but I think next time I'll stick to pink drink. Snocream is still a good place to go to in general and there are plenty of drinks (most of which can be adjusted for sweetness), their famous sno cream, or ice cream I've enjoyed several times in the past from their bus days to their current days in The Block.
