Snowdays

Uhhhhhhhhhh MAZING. It was a bit pricey, but the value for money you get for a small cup it pretty solid.
To be clear, this isn’t ice cream. It’s a shaved flavored ice-​y type of ice cream. I don’t really know how to explain it. But all I know is that is creates a really light version of a sweet dish that you can easily destroy after a long day at work.
I haven’t had a chance to check out anyone who took on the ginormous Yeti, but it is cheaper than 2 smalls and it looks like you get more. So if you have a friend who’s going to get the same flavor as you, take them along!

A cute date spot :)
I was on a girls’ night out, and we wanted to get some dessert. (if you share it, it drops the calories down to zero, right?!) The portions here are quite large so I definitely advise you to split it between at least 2, if not 3 people. Every flavor is pretty much spot on, but I tried the New Yorker. I love the color changing spoons, although the novelty of it wore off fairly quickly. Can’t wait to have another excuse to try another flavor. The Made in Taiwan is calling my name!

Finally had a chance to try this after having it in my bookmarks for so long! Went out on a cold, freezing day. But that didn’t stop us from coming here for dessert. The décor was nice and homey. There aren’t alot of seats available, but my friend and I had no problem finding a seat on a friday night.
I got the yetitracks with mochi, strawberries, and condensed milk. It ranges from .50-.75 for toppings. Yetitracks is basically cookies and crème, so creamy and delicious! I didn’t think that condensed milk was going to be good as a topping, but it worked very well together along with the strawberries and mochi.
The price is affordable for such a large container, but most importantly the dessert is delicious! I would come back to try other combos when I get the chance.

Wowza. So good! The green tea flavor is awesome here, and the shaved milk is so soft. It’s different from ice cream. It’s sweet but not heavy.
Seating is very limited, so don’t expect to find a seat right away at most times.
I think the second best thing about this place after the actual dessert is the heat sensitive spoon, where it changes color based on the temperature it touches. My inner 5 year old me loved it.
I’d recommend stopping by if you’re in the neighborhood…

Always a fan of shaved ice or snow they call it.
Made in taiwan and yeti tracks. My friend suggested this combo, and really have to love the color changing spoons. Its not as packed in the winter but definitely a good snack after a big meal.
Clean place, and very nice staff.

I came in the middle of winter this past December.
Thankfully at that time it was like the warmest since ever so it was alright.
I got the sort of Made in Taiwan without grass jelly but added strawberries and pocky. purty good. A bit different from Grace Street (I felt like grace street had more flavor). or maybe my taste buds were just frozen. not too sure
I asked for hot water and was like oh nope you’re actually a dumbass so you get what you pay for which doesn’t include hot water. Deal w it and freeze. and i was like ok i guess.
then I felt the urge and was like oh I need to relieve myself and was like nope you can’t you gotta hold it until you find a street corner outside somewhere like this is new york. you get to live like a rich person’s dog love it live it I love new york its great. what a reminder. every day of my life. I now have excellent bladder control muscles.
Nah I ain’t gonna hate on this place tho. They really tried really hard in the customer service department. At least I didn’t like get yelled at by the halal cart guys when I don’t have make-​up on. like no white sauce from you thanks.
They were really sweet. and the combination of condensed milk, red bean and green tea and strawberries and pocky made me feel a little bit better bc even if i was a frozen wet dog at least i got my ice cream.

I’ve been here a couple of times and so i figured i may as well just write a review for it. I came here last Tuesday when my friend from SF was visiting and it was only… 20 degrees outside. We got the yeti tracks this time, it was a bit too sweet so i wasn’t a fan of it. It tastes like cookie and cream which apparently isn’t like chocolate or vanilla (the worker kinda joked that we were both wrong when trying to explain what cookies n cream tasted like.) I personally love the made in Taiwan– but that may be because i am bias. their green tea is great but their grass jelly seamed a bit stale? it was hard and not. jell-​y. :(
The ice is perfectly «shaved» and the fruits and mocha were fresh. Be warned there isn’t a bathroom! and its a bit chilly inside as you eat. You get a lot for what you pay for and a regular is more than enough for two people. I’m not sure if i would wait in line for it though. but still all in all great for a HOT summer day and not mid winter.

Nothing beats rounding up the night with some shaved ice after a huge dinner of extremely salty and spicy food! Snowdays is very comparable to other shaved ice shops in terms of pricing and flavors. There are three sizes — regular, large, and yeti. The regular is definitely enough for 2 people to share, while the yeti is just insanely large. It looks bigger than a pint of ice cream that I could pick up at the nearest grocery store. Then you choose the ice cream flavor, a complementary drizzle, and toppings, which cost extra.
My friend and I ordered a regular-​sized green tea shaved ice with seasonal fruit (around $ 7) but no drizzle because we were far too full, thus wanted something «light.» What impressed me the most was the girl at the counter literally took out a HUGE block of green ice and put it into a machine for shaving. It was so cool to watch! The green tea definitely tasted light, even for shaved ice. Personally, as a huge fan of ice cream, I would have liked something slightly creamier. But given how little space I had left in my stomach, this very light shaved ice was just the right amount of satisfaction!

On a night right after I had just finished eating a stomach turning meal of dry pot, this place was just what I needed. I ordered the regular-​sized green tea shaved ice with strawberries and raspberries. The shaved ice is definitely the lightest I have ever had and it was delicious. I love dessert that is absolutely airy and just melts in your mouth with the most subtle hint of sweetness. The fruit perfectly complemented the shaved ice and every bite was a welcome relief of deliciousness.
I can’t wait to come back! Definitely a great place to stop by for some dessert if you’re in the East Village.

This place is great. Shaved ice that almost tastes like ice cream? A variety of toppings including Asian ones such as red bean or mocha. Love it.
I had half Yeti and half green tea, my preference being the green tea. Topped with condensed milk, fruit, mocha, and red bean. Love love love.
Best part is that the spoon changes colors! Save yo’ spoons!

As one of my first few bookmarks along my nonexistent Unilocal journey, Snowdays will forever be my favourite dessert place.
Shaved snow, shaved cream, fluff, or whatever you want to call if, is the best thing EVER. I’ve described shaved snow as thin layers of ice cream piled on top of each other, becoming a delicious and fluffy orgasm on top of a temperature changing spoon. My favourite flavour is black sesame!
My infatuation with shaved snow started in 2012. Snowdays opened up back in 2014, but my #asianstakingpicturesoffood friends in LA have been enjoying it without me for years. I’ve been longing for some FluffIce ever since, but being a Boston local, Snowdays is more than enough for me.
The service is fairly quick, from blazing hot summers to this weeks freezing temperatures. The only complaint would be that when picking up orders, the outside of the cup would be sticky. But that’s not too big of a deal. I’d still come back and leave with sticky hands.

So it was New Years day, after dinner at Supper we walked to Snowdays, it was really cold windy night in NYC so we figured the place would be empty. Wrong, it was packed! We got our usual Green Tea with Red Beans, Blueberry toppings and a Yeti with Red Beans.
It’s never too sweet or creamy unlike ice cream or froyo.
We brought our friends from Westchester here and they luved it !
Move over Froyo, Snowdays is in town.

Yes yes yes. Basically the best new ice cream/​dessert place.
Winter is no excuse not to go – its actually perfect because the lines are short.
Fluffy, shaved snow heaven. Flavors are out of this world. LOVE the combos.
Plus its not as high calorie as traditional ice cream… so go get one!!!
Yeti Food is delicious! Love the blueberry snow.
But a must try is the GOT SEOUL — black sesame AND green tea – pretty darn amazing.
Flavorful experience, a little bit of a wait but it’s made to order.
They have two machines that shave a block of iced deliciousness that makes your order into flavorful snow. The wait is so worth it though.
Take a date here after dinner. It’d show them how cultured and trendy you are ;)
Prices depend on your order but a large combo is around $ 8.

About a 2 – 2.5: I was really excited in checking out Snowdays while on a recent trip to NY. Founded by Tony Quach, Snowdays offers shaved cream that is made in small batches daily, using organic dairy from NY’s Hudson Valley. I tried one of their favorite combos, the Yeti Food, which came with the Yeti Tracks Snow Cream (blue colored!), sliced bananas, broken bits of a waffle cone, and a drizzle of a blueberry purée. The shaved cream was a bit underwhelming, as the blue-​colored snow cream was flavorless. The bits of broken waffle cone were forgettable and didn’t really add much to the overall dessert, even if it was for the crunchy effect. I did like the blueberry purée, though, but overall, the snow cream was a bit disappointing! All cups come with a color-​changing spoon (just one color). The place itself was cute, with a small collection of stuffed yeti toys up by the cashier, but I was kind of sad that they didn’t have a large mural of the yeti on the wall, nor was the cup designed with the cute yeti I’ve seen from the pictures T_​_​_​T In addition, the place itself had a moldy smell and it was quite humid in there. There were a good amount of counter seating as well as some tables to enjoy your treat. I’m glad I tried Snowdays out, but won’t be back!
+flavorless snow cream
+blueberry purée
+moldy/​humid inside the store

FINALLY NYC jumps on the shaved snow phenomenon that is OLD news on the west coast
you can choose one of their combos OR customize your own, none of the fruit looked fresh, so take a gander before you order!
REGULAR is so large! you can definitely share with someone
–Yeti (blueberry Oreo) snow cream with blueberry sauce and grass jelly: the yeti snow cream tastes just like oreos but the texture was TERRIBLE, very shredded, crumbly, and dry! i prefer my shaved snow to be sheets and melt in your mouth
NOTE: color changing spoons remind me of my childhood when you would get prizes in cereal boxes!

East village has plenty of options for desserts but when it comes down to wire, Snowdays is the option that gets suggested over and over again.
Made in Taiwan $ 6 — These cups are huge! $ 6 gets you a regular size, but it feels like a large since they top it of. If you’re a green tea/​matcha fan, you should give this a try. It gives off a oriental taste – green tea shaved ice cream, grass jelly, mochi, and condensed milk. Wish they’d put more condensed milk in my cup since it was gone after 3 bites.
Seating can be an issue since this place is usually packed even on cold days. 1 thing that did bother me was the temperature inside. It was so hot!
It’s a cool place to hang out (they give you playing cards if you ask) and savor on some sweet shaved ice cream.

I thought that the shaved ice here was good, but not amazing. Definitely had better in LA from Blockheads Shavery. The toppings here are plentiful, and they have premade combos for those who feel lazy or just plain don’t know shaved ice and are intimidated by the selection.
I got the Made In Taiwan combo, which came with matcha ice, grass jelly, mini-​mochi, and condensed milk. I thought it was decent, but nothing to write home about. My friends got a bunch of weird toppings, but they all ended up tasting pretty good.
The environment is a bit drab with the bright fluorescent lights. This place gets busy at night!

Awesome desserts. Well made and tasty.
Comfy place and nice environment.
There is magic in the spoon. It changes color with the temperature. When it gets warm it becomes light purple color. When it gets cold, it becomes dark purple color.

Yum.
Step 1: you choose a size. The smallest size was more than enough for your first attempt.
$ 6.00
Step 2: choose a flavor. The coconut is the only vegan option. The others have dairy. The coconut is very coconutty.
Step 3: free drizzle. I went with salted caramel. There are a ton of options like condensed milk, chocolate syrup, honey.
Step 4: Toppings. 50 cent each. I opted for almonds and strawberries but there are a ton of way more delicious ones like Oreos, waffle come, nilla wafers, and lucky charms.
Yum yum yum. I have convinced myself this is healthy. Not so sure about that. Definitely coming back! Oh and the spoon changes colors, how cool!

Super authentic Taiwanese shaved ice!!! You pick the shaved ice flavor, liquid toppings (free) and toppings (extra money for each).
For the ice flavor I tried the Yeti Tracks and Sweet Milk. I really liked both! The Yeti tracks is blue but tastes just like sweet melted ice cream– not really much flavor so don’t like the blue color fool you. The sweet milk is basically like vanilla ice cream. I got the strawberry purée as a liquid topping, it’s basically strawberry syrup (YUM!). I think the condensed milk is good too.
I didn’t get any toppings but they have cereal, cookies, fruits, etc.
It costs around $ 5 – 6 for the regular cup (which is pretty large). I would def come back!!!

Pas forcément convaincu par snowdays. Soit je suis mal habitué car grand amateur de glacé j’en mange énormément soit les avis précédents s’enflamment un peu trop.
Les glaces sont belles et énormes mais elles n’ont aucun goût. En ce qui me concerne j’ai pris de la glacé au the vert (dont je suis grand amateur avec du chocolat fondu dessus) bien je n’ai ressenti ni le goût du matcha No le goût du chocolat. Et la texture même de la glacé me laisse dubitatif. Certes le magasin c’est «snowdays» et que la glacé ai la consistance de la neige cela semble normale mais bon c’est pas très bon quand même.
