Sno On The Go

Good option to fulfill shave ice craving. A little slow in service. Closed now but I think the MV location is still open

They do have a lot of interesting flavors, but I can’t say that I’d eat Sno on the Go as often as maybe frozen yogurt. Don’t get me wrong-​I love my sweets. But these concoctions are a bit too much for me.

this place is small… walking inside I feel like its having an identity crises… Its kinda all over the place… there was one girl working she was nice enough but even though it was only me and my BF in the store. it took a really long time for our shaved ice…
Small serving and big price…
We got the Honeydew-​licious, it was good they fill the center with ice cream and fresh strawberries… it had a nice taste but it was quite sweet… I felt like my teeth were going to fall off… I rather go to Mochilato or tropical shaved ice truck.

Who would’ve thought ice cream and shaved ice would be a brilliant combination? This is by far my most favorite dessert place to visit. I want some more!!!
A small place in the HB, this place holds a lot of great flavor! I ordered their Strawberry Shortcake, which was delicious. Strawberry syrup and fresh strawberries topped with vanilla ice cream is a winner in my food world. :)
This place beats Yogurtland, hands down.
Who wants to go with me next time?

i could never wrap my mind around why people like eating ice with sugary syrup. from snow cones to hawaiian shaved ice, i’ve never found a reason to like it. and when people get excited about snow cones, it almost irritates me. there are so many better things to eat in this world, aren’t there?
a friend brought us to sno on the go and while it was decent, and i opted for the frozen yogurt on top, i sat there wishing i’d had ice cream in my hands instead. i just don’t get it.
what’s more irritating is that whoever wrote the first review wrote it as «sno ON THE go» rather than just «Sno On The Go.» i guess i shouldn’t be one to talk considering i don’t even use capitals when i write, but it would never make sense to write «on the» using all caps… i’m just saying…

This is some awesome shaved ice with a concept I am sure that others will copy. Soft serve in the middle of shaved ice.
I came here thinking it was going to be like the Hawaiian shaved ice places, very similar but with soft serve in the middle which works really well.
1 star off because they should of spent a little more and finished the inside of the place, seems very boring.
As others have stated as well the menu is very confusing, didn’t know what stuff it means, didn’t know the difference between the left side and right side, didn’t know I was getting sift serve inside it.
All in all its a great idea and with a little more work a 5 star treat every time.

Surprisingly good!
I had an intense craving for shaved ice and was in the neighborhood. How did I find this place? Unilocal!
I’ve been to a couple of shaved ice shops in the South Bay, namely «Get Shaved». They offer similar selections where you can get a scoop of flavored ice cream underneath your shaved ice and have it topped with Mochi bits, Azuki Beans, Condensed Milk, etc. So far «Get Shaved» is my favorite place, so Sno on the Go would be the OC contender.
There was only one person working, but it wasn’t too busy, so the wait wasn’t horrible. I ordered the Tropical Treat. It had soft serve in the middle, topped with pineapple juice and fresh cut strawberries. It was pretty darn yummy and satisfied my craving. I was also pleasantly surprised at how well the soft serve tasted with the shaved ice.
I only have a couple of issues:
1) The ice isn’t shaved as finely as other shaved ice shops I’ve been to. The shaved ice at Get Shaved is fluffy and powdery — how shaved ice should be. Over here, it’s thick and too «crunchy».
2) The employee wasn’t wearing gloves. If someone’s handling my food, especially something as messy as shaved ice, I would want someone to wear gloves. She washed her hands… but still, between handling money, wiping down counters and making the orders… that’s a lot of bacteria getting passed around.
Otherwise, I will be coming here again to try other flavors. :)

I’ve come here about 4 different occasions and each visit has been pleasant. I really hate the location, not that its far or anything but its really hidden in HB. People need to stop complaining about the slow service here because its a start up shop, give them a break! And making a snow cone can be long process too especially with all their extravagant flavors. Patience is a virtue right?!? :p
Anyways I love the strawberry shortcake and tropical treat with the soft serve it’s sooosooosooo good. Great prices and really good snow cones so give it a try!

I went here for the first time. I have already tried Joe’s Italian Ice and Frostbites, so I came in with an idea of what this place is like. If you’ve never heard of any of these businesses, here’s the lowdown — they sell shaved ice with soft serve vanilla ice cream in the middle. Normally, you can choose about two flavors to go with your soft serve.
The menu here is a little confusing. One side of the menu has normal flavors, which are called premium flavors I think. This consists of passion fruit, mango, cherry, watermelon, and the other flavors that you’re familiar with. The other side of the menu has specialty flavors. These are described to have more natural ingredients. For instance, the s’mores flavor has marshmallows and chocolate swirled in. The specialty flavors come «stuffed,» meaning that it has soft serve in the middle. But you can only choose one specialty flavor; you can’t mix. The normal flavors do not come stuffed. It’s an additional $ 0.75 to stuff it, but you can choose up to two flavors.
I ordered the green tea and raspberries, which is a specialty flavor. It came with raspberry bits which were a lovely surprise! My two problems were that there was not enough soft serve and that it was not evenly mixed with the shaved ice. There was a small dollop of soft serve on top and another small dollop on the bottom of the cup. I prefer Frostbites where the soft serve is evenly mixed with the shaved ice.
I came here with two friends, and I found myself yelling to have a conversation with them. It’s just too loud in here to have a decent conversation. And don’t expect great service from the staff. They look like they’re in high school, and still going through their angry teenage years. They were not very pleasant when describing how the menu works to a new customer like me.
Overall I was slightly disappointed, but satisfied enough to give this place another try.

This place is yummy, but it does smell like a bathroom. If I stand there too long, it will ruin my appetite. When I do come here, I only get specialty flavors, especially the strawberry shortcake. Other recommended flavors include tropical treat, sherbet punch, dreamsicle, and red velvet, which are also good.
There are usually high schoolers working, and on a summer day or any day that is busy, it takes forever to order and receive the order. It’s still yummy, and is not like any other shaved ice I’ve ever seen or had.
Don’t forget, it is CLOSED on MONDAYS!

A snow cone… with ice cream /​soft serve… and some canned fruity bits. What more can you ask for? I guess if your stomach can handle it, give it a try. I’ve heard some people who ended up running to the bathroom numerous times after having this combination, but I’ve never personally experienced that.
I always order the tropical-​ee one. I’m not sure what it’s called, or I don’t remember. It’s some sort of mango/pineapple/*insert tropical fruit here* combination. It’s refreshing, not too sweet, and just the perfect treat on a hot summer day. (or even in the winter time I’m sure).
I don’t get the name though. Sno ON THE go? I wouldn’t really take this «on the go» because it does get messy and drippy… but that’s just me.

I am a huge fan of Shave ICE. if you are a huge fan of shave ice, just be aware this is not shave ice. I am only saying that because someone referred me here because they said it was like shave ice. WRONG. it is still pretty good but nothing like shave ice. I am not putting this place down I am just letting people know that if you are in the search for shave ice this is not shave ice that you get in Hawaii. it is a similar sno cone like version. the ice is chunkier and not as smooth.
It is more the consistency of a sno cone, hence the name I guess.
I liked the variety of flavors and the prices, but there was too many chunks of ice in my cup and not enough melt in your mouth moments.
I will try it again, in the hopes that it is better the second time around, but after last nights visit I am just 3 stars worth happy. There was a large amount of syrup at the bottom of my cup and for the first time I think EVER, I didn’t finish my dessert. I threw away maybe ¹⁄₃ of my large size sno cone.
My mom and fiancé got the speciality flavors with the ice cream included inside; both liked it but agreed that it was not shave ice like the Tropical Shave Ice Truck, which was why we went, to get our fix.
I do like the décor, its cute, with all the fair type images, there are not a lot of tables, but not many people stay to eat here so that is ok with me. The staff was not super friendly, maybe because they only had a half hour of work left. I agree with Rene R. who reviewed a few days ago, that you can’t expect fancy from a small business, but I do expect clean facilities and a friendly staff, and I got pretty clean facility and not so friendly staff.
Like I said however, I will try it again, in the hopes that I have an even better experience.

So, the shave ice here is not that great. In fact, it’s not shave ice. It’s a sno cone. It does not deserve to be ranked up there with the great shave ice places in socal. It’s crunchy and they are heavy on the syrup.
Overall, it’s okay… I mean, if they charged me $ 1 for it, I would have been satisfied. However, to get it «stuffed» and a small size was about $ 3. That is waaay overpriced for a sno cone of this quality! I can understand this though– they aren’t that popular and they’re a new place, so they gotta make prices high. But, this isn’t the reason I’m giving it 1 star.
I walked in and there were a group of high schoolers in front of me. The guy was nice and asked if I wanted to cut them since they were going to be chilling there for awhile, but I honestly couldn’t make up my mind on a flavor, so I let them go first. So, the girl takes 2 of their orders (the other 2 I guess didn’t want anything), writes them down, charges them, and the teens go to sit. Meanwhile, I’ve been standing there for awhile waiting for them to finish. I walk up to the counter. The girl working picks up HER OWN SHAVED ICE, takes a bite, looks at me and says «Oh, are you ready to order?» I was like EXCUSE ME?! YOU WORK HERE. YOU AREN’T SUPPOSED TO BE EATING THE PRODUCT. Holy moley. I don’t ever think I’ve been to a food place where the worker is standing there eating the food. Especially when there are customers waiting!!! WOW! –3 stars for that.
Next problem was how she made the shave ice. Okay, so she wasn’t wearing any plastic gloves. This made me worried, because I’m used to seeing shave ice made, then pat down. She never patted it down. Instead, she filled the cup to the brim, used a straw to make holes, filled it with syrup, added some ice cream, piled on more ice and shaped it with a straw, then more ice cream. The whole straw technique was so strange to me. I feel like you gotta pat the ice down. Whatever.
The last problem I had was the décor. It’s supposed to be «carnival» theme. You won’t get it until you walk in and are taken back by the large murals of carnival attractions. It was a bit overwhelming, but the worst part was the sharpie written on the wall above the cashier is ugly handwriting saying «follow us on facebook!» It wasn’t in pretty, straight writing either. It looked like a high schooler male wrote it. WOW! Way to set off an ambience.
If I was basing this review solely on the sno cone, I would have given it a 2. (yeah not that impressive.) But everything combined… I don’t think I would ever come back. If any reviewers thought this was great quality shave ice, I suggest you try Get Shaved, Class 302, Tropical Shaved Ice, or Teri Hawaii. You’ll be pleasantly surprised.

This place was a major disappointment. I went on a warm Saturday afternoon, and when I walked in, the place was empty. It actually reminded me of Coney Island in the winter; dark, weird carnie posters all over, kind of depressing. I ordered a non-​stuffed cone after I asked the girl to explain the menu (never a good sign, when the menu must be EXPLAINED)… and it was just alright. I observed her filling the cup with the shaved ice machine, and packing it into traditional snow cone shape– but I was put off my the open drainage pipe into the floor (no screen) and weird menu items (who orders a hot dog and pickles from a snow cone joint?)
It’s back to my Snoopy SnoCone maker, for me.

The best shaved ice EVER!!! I went here with a friend today, and it was soooo amazingly good! I ordered the thai paradise, and she ordered the dragonfruit, and omg the thai paradise was the best ever! It wasn’t overly sweet, but it was still really good! I would totally recommend this place to anyone who wants a good dessert!
And the service there was pretty good.
The shaved ice was ohhh so delicious!

«Daddy, can we try that cool snow cone place you have been telling us about?»
«Sweetie, I’m in the middle of watching the Bruins game.»
«But Daddy, aren’t they gonna lose again like they always do?»
«Look, Baby. Can you wait ’till halftime? They are actually winning right now.»
So I take my little girl and her buddy 5 miles to get a freakin’ snow cone. God, it better be worth it. You know what? (do you think the readers have already seen the 5 star rating?). It was amazing! Totally worth the drive.
The place was clean and empty. They had the Notre Dame game on TV. I was tempted to have them change it to the UCLA game, but why ruin a perfectly good snow cone. The two teenagers working there were very helpful in their explanations and very nice.
It’s super cheap compared to the countless «make your own soft yogurt tower» places. Only $ 1.85 for a good size small portion, and an extra $.50 for the infamous soft served stuffing. Tons of flavors to choose from… even a bunch of clear flavors, in case you want to avoid the dies and preservatives. I felt really gutsy and let the girls have the toxic colors. Holy cow, they put tons of syrup on there and it was wonderful.
Granted, it’s a freakin’ snow cone. How do you screw that up? I’ll tell you how. You can make it too small, too rock hard, too drippy, or too little syrup. None of that happened. It was big, cheap, served in a foam cup (not one of those stupid paper cones that leak all over your expensive football jersey), it stayed soft and the plentiful juice was awesome.
5 big stars for sno on the go. 1 star for my God awful football team. UGH!!! They missed a 2 point conversion in the last minute. Kill me now…

I was really excited when I found out about this place since I love sno-​cones. It is located where Cefiore used to be sandwiched between Kung Pao Bowl and De Simome Deli. Saturday I was one block away and was planning on going but something unexpected popped up and I had to leave the area… Sunday I had my boring lunch at Don Ramon and was determined to eat here!
I open the door and am instantly hit by a nasty odor… the entire shop reeked, I had flashbacks of high school gym locker room. WTF… I wanted to walk out but I had to try this place!
This shop had 1 single overwhelmed employee. She was the cashier and had to make up the orders… If this place would put up a few signs explaining how the menu worked and what some of the stuff was the poor girl wouldn’t have to stop in the middle of the job and read off the memorized script about the menu. It took a long long time to even put our order in, I can’t imagine if this place was packed.
I got a crushed ice with watermelon, strawberry, and passion fruit. This was «Stuffed» with some soft serve ice cream. When my order was up there was rivers of syrup running all over the sides of the cup and dripping down onto the counter which in turn dripped down on the floor, and all over my table. How the hell is this «On the go»? If I ate this in my car I’d have to get it detailed afterward. She poured all three flavors over all of the ice instead of in separate sections making my entire dessert taste like one strange flavor… The crushed ice solidified into a single ice chunk which caused me to chisel at it with my plastic spoon…
I don’t know, it’s not what I expected. Maybe separate the flavors when you pour… maybe change the consistency of the ice flecks so they don’t harden up… maybe try serving it in something that won’t drip everywhere and it would be a lot better. It was OK, but it didn’t transport me back to my childhood when my elementary school had sno-​cone day. I’ll come back and try it again I guess.
What cracked me up was on the bottom of the menu they had «Cold Pickle on a Stick». Now I love pickles… but this is the last place I’d come in expecting to eat a pickle. It’s the only non-​sweet thing on the menu. Very strange.

Crushed Ice
This is a step above a snow cone from the fair. They add soft serve ice cream. If you are a fan of shave ice, this place probably isn’t for your. No red bean or azuki bean. Just crushed ice, soft serve, and syrups. The ice was hard. The syrup was sweet. I was not a fan of the soft serve. It was OK.
They do give you a straw. but it is not the same as slurping up the left overs from shave ice. It’s like drinking straight syrup.
~Games
Table Games and a Hook Game make this a fun place for kids. Very kid friendly. This is for sure a 4 star place if you are 12 and under.
~Décor
Wall is lined with a few pictures of rides at the fair. Colorful and Bright!
I think the best shave ice in OC is over at Milk n Honey in Costa Mesa. However, this place is AOK.
sno ON THE go, Huntington Beach. another reason the OC is the best place to live.

This place was awesome. I first found it here on Unilocal!
It does take a little time to make, but it was totally worth it. The workers here are extremely nice and friendly too! They’ll help you with any questions about their huge menu. The specialty flavors may be a risk at times since they have no description, but i personally think it’s all part of the fun! (: They tell you whats in them if you ask anyways.
Its hawaiian style shaved ice, so it was SUPER finely cut. It’s all hand made, right in front of you. Alot of the syrups are made of real fruits too. And to top it all off its stuffed with soft serve ice cream and sprinkled with fruits too! There’s tons of combinations and a huge selection to choose from. All in all, i give it 5 stars!
Next time i need to try mouth party! A combination of EVERY SINGLE FLAVOR?! Sure! Why not?!

I’ve been to this shop plenty of times before when it was Upperhouse than Cefiore. I recently just discovered that the store is back open, but with different owners and its shaved ice.
It was pretty busy when I entered and there was only 2 workers working. I waited for quite awhile, but i didn’t mind since I was a little overwhelmed by all the different flavors and selections they have. Gave me a bit of time to study the menu some and narrow down my questions. The girl told me Tropical Treat was their most popular. I can’t remember the combination, but I think the syrup was made from pineapple and oranges. It was also ‘stuffed’ with soft serve ice cream and topped with fresh strawberries. It was absolutely delicious!
I would definitely recommend this place, especially for the hot summer months thats coming.
