Sno-Crave

The place is nicely decorated, however the food is disappointing.
My friends and I ordered the Macaron Party and yogurt shaved ice.
The macaron party is pretty good. The bread is nicely toasted and buttered. The ice cream was really good too.
However, their shaved ice sucks. Had no flavor tasted like powder. We told them we didn’t want it anymore and asked for a refund. They told us they can make a smaller shaved ice for us for free so we decided to go with strawberry. Again no flavor and it tasted really strange.
Will not be back!

This is one of my to-​go places whenever I had Boiling Crabs as it was next door. It is sad to find out that it was closed. I usually come here and get the golden brick toasts with a milk tea, hot or cold. The brick toast is good and probably my favorite one here. The milk tea is also good and the hot tea is even better. It comes in a tea pot. Trying the hot milk tea was a first for me and I can say I’ll continue to do so. There was a great amount of flavor to it. The shop is usually empty whenever I came so it was really chill. The boss/​lady working is super friendly and nice. She helps out whenever you needed. There are also games to play and such.

Not the best, and not the worst spot. The atmosphere is nice in the fact that it has a good amount of seating, yet didn’t seem to have a lot of customers to fill them. I did find it cool that they provided games for to to play such as UNO or Jenga though.
On to the drinks though. I purchased an Earl Grey Milk Tea which I usually purchase at most any milk tea spot I go to. While I was excited for it, I was a little let down. The drink itself seemed to have been drowned in milk to the point where I could barely even taste the tea at all. If they just refine their drink making a little, I could see this place being a good go-​to spot for kids to go and just hangout.
Great place to wait and play some games while waiting for Boiling Crab reservations too :)

First time here and it wasn’t bad but not the best. Came here after we had dinner at boiling crab and the place completely empty not sure if that was a good thing or bad. The interior was really cute with pink chairs and sparkly granite tables. We ordered the «black humor» brick toast. The ice cream, Oreos and pocky sticks were the best part but the toast was pretty dry. I thought the little cubes in the center would be a little more moist but they were really dry without a lot of flavor.
I usually order from Snobite but since they were closed I figured I would try this place. I know I shouldn’t compare places but their toast tastes a lot better than this place.
Next time I come I want to try their macaroon they looked pretty tasty. And probably just order their ice cream. Overall the toast wasn’t my favorite but I would like to come back to try some other things.

Came here on a late Sunday night when a lot of other boba places seem to be closed, so a plus for their late hours. Cute little interior. Ordered a early gray milk tea, honeydew milk tea, and taro smoothie. The milk teas were alright, I think their smoothies taste better. Pretty pricey though, total was $ 15 for three drinks which seems like a lot considering they were all the smallest size and two of them were milk teas.

They a great selection of drinks and desserts. I also like the fact they allow you to order brick toast togo not the slices but the whole box with all the topping which not a lot of places allow it. There milk teas are also really good and comes in many different flavor also. I like the fact that they have a lot of other desserts to choose from too like crepes and stuff. Overall the dessert here are great.

Review #011 — 2016
We came across this place while walking the strip after our late lunch at the Boiling Crab a few doors down, on a Saturday.
The place is very nice and clean. You can sit outside as well, but we decided to sit inside since the place was empty when we showed up.
We ordered a few drinks and two orders of the shave snow. My little niece wanted the strawberry flavor while my younger sister wanted the taro so we decided to do half and half.
My nephew and his girlfriend had their own order to share, but I don’t recall what flavor they had.
The shave snow was good, service was ok after we got the guy to take our order. My sister also had an ice tea which she liked.
Nice spot to hang out, if you are looking for desserts or drinks just to pass time while waiting for traffic to die down…

Definitely experienced a lot better milk tea environments. Specifically I love to visit Snowbees if i’m in this area of South Sacramento. While visiting this location their was no customers dining or lounging around. The area was very bright but had a dead feel to it.
I decided to try out this place after deciding to branch out and try milk teas in different locations of Sacramento. During this visit I ordered a simple black milk tea with boba. Nothing special out of the ordinary. The taste of the milk tea had an very tea like flavor which I enjoyed quite a bit.
Overall, I may revisit this place again on a weekend. Somehow it didn’t have the uppity vibe I expected from a place that looks bright.

Great bubble tea and shaved ice. We had the coconut iced tea with boba, green tea shaved ice with red bean and original milk shaved ice. All were good.
The ambiance is very refreshingly asian… You feel like you are in a different country while you are there… except for the hip hop playing in the background. Lyrics were not kid friendly.
I had to take off one star because our shaved ice had bits of plastic in it. When I asked them about it, it seems like they thought it was unavoidable!
Surely that’s not true. Nevertheless we were not charged for the one with the plastic in it.
Good place to try if you are visiting boiling crab next door but not sure we will be back.

I happened to notice the sign one night while going to SF Supermarket for last minute bbq items. I’ve been to Sno-​Crave in the Bay Area and figure I’ll try it here and see what’s up! Big mistake.
BF and I didn’t want to try any dessert that was too big for the 2 of us to finish, so we shared the Belgian Waffle with vanilla ice cream and the hot taro milk tea with egg pudding. Big mistake again.
As I was ordering, the cashier kept trying to point out how much every item cost, and making sure I was ok with the prices. As if, I would change my mind if I knew what it really costed — who do you think I am?!
The hot taro came out first and I was pleasantly surprised that it came in a teapot and teacups, it was super cute! This was the only positive thing about this place. The hot taro was so extremely hot that I couldn’t drink it until 15 mins later! It was wayyyy overly sweet, and I know they use Coffeemate powder creamer because I saw them putting in spoonfuls of it as I past by the kitchen earlier. Gross! We couldn’t finish it.
The Belgian waffle itself was so plain, and very dough-​ey. The vanilla ice cream on top is low quality. Nothing special about this spot at all.
This is kind of a funny one but I also hated the music here. They play rap and hip hop and don’t blurb out the cuss words! Hello! This is supposed to be a family spot. Ugh! We’re not at The Park Ultra Lounge, ok?!
I will never come back.

Best toast ever!!!
Yum, nice and fast service.
Good place to hang out, great customer service and especially No.1 Golden brick is the best. Must check this place out.

I met my friend here for dessert on a Sunday night because I have been wanting to try the honey brick toast. It’s located right next to The Boiling Crab and parking was really tight, so I had to park in a different part of the parking lot closer to SF Supermarket.
When I arrived it was not crowded and there were two other groups of people there. The shop felt clean and comfortable and there was one woman behind the counter who was available to take our order and answer any questions we had. The atmosphere felt comfortable to me and matched my mood for the evening.
We ordered the Summer Style Special Honey Toast which came with the honey brick toast, three kinds of ice cream (vanilla, mango and strawberry), fresh mango, strawberries, banana, and whipped cream. There were also bits and pieces of candy on top which I thought was a nice added touch. I also really wanted chocolate ice cream, so asked to replace the mango with chocolate with no problem at all.
The Summer Style Honey Toast tasted even more delicious than I expected! It was perfect for two people who had a large appetite for dessert and could probably feed three or four people who just ate a big meal and wanted less dessert. The brick toast had four walls and then chunks of toast on the inside. For some reason, I was expecting the toast to be one solid piece, but it’s actually in slices and chunks that you pull apart.
I had a good experience coming here and would come back again.

Looking for a dessert place after dinner, found sno-​crave on our Unilocal app. First time to try honey toast with ice cream. It was delicious to my surprise. Warm cubes of honey toast in the middle, ice cream and sweets on top. Cute place, friendly servers. Only negative, don’t be in a hurry– takes a few minutes to create these little masterpieces.

We were looking for a dessert place after 8pm and Snow Crave was the place to stop and get our sweets ON.
Our first visit so we pulled out a menu and took a seat on nice pink chairs and the tables had a pink sparkle In them too so pretty.
Love the boba teas and the taro milk tea, the have shaved flavored ice desserts and honey toast that will fill you up.
I ordered the tiramisu but it was kind like eating frozen whipped cream and not creamy.
I like this place and good music makes you wanna get up and dance with your dessert :)
Will certainly return

Ordered: jenga tower brick toast
Verdict: ²⁄₅
Came here on a Friday night and it wasn’t busy at all. No staff was in sight when we walked in so my friends and I seated ourselves. We were really craving brick toast and unfortunately, this sno-​crave didn’t fulfill our craving.
We got the jenga tower brick toast and it was meh. I love the inside bread of brick toast and I thought it was going to be the same type of bread for this item. But this bread was crunchy and a bit dry since there was no sauce (condensed milk/​butter) drizzling over it. So we had to spread the ice cream over each piece of bread to make it a bit more bearable.
Presentation looks nice but you gotta have your food taste good too.
Ambiance: very low key. The seats LOOK comfy and cushion-​y but it’s really stiff. They have board games and right when we opened the connect 4 game, it smelled bad. (Kind of like old cigarettes)

Food: Original Sno Ice with mango and condensed milk — the texture of the sno ice was soft and fluffy. It started melting pretty quickly. I thought the original would be more flavorful, sweet or tangy but it was neither. The mango was fresh. ³⁄₅
Service: Fair. Not friendly or rude. ³⁄₅
Final thoughts: I would definitely come back to try other things or a different flavor of sno ice.

I’ve been here a few times but I thought, I should wait and come back a few times before I write this review. It’s right next to BC. Since BC doesn’t offer dessert, why not open a dessert place right next door. Clever, except this place doesn’t get that busy. Well the times I’ve been here I don’t think it gets too busy. I mean why? There’s snowbee, snobites tapioca express, vampire penguin, lollicup, I mean the list of dessert places in this area is endless. =\
The place isn’t so big capacity is at most 20. There’s two flat screens on the wall. A shelf of games. If you want to order Togo you can go up to the counter and if you decide to eat here, you can just have a seat and someone will come by with a menu.
The menu offers a variety of: drinks (teas, tapioca drinks), and dessert (macaroons, toast, waffles, crepes, etc).
What we have ordered: the green tea fruit tea to drink, jasmine milk tea, hot jasmine milk tea, rose green tea, the strawberry crêpe, shave ice, and the really big chocolate brick toast.
What I thought: the drinks are ok, nothing really too special from the other tapioca places I’ve been to. I mean I won’t drive this far to get it. The fruit tea has mango and strawberry in it and there’s only like 3 – 4 pieces of each in the drink. Basically looks empty. The strawberry crêpe was good, strawberries with vanilla ice cream and chocolate drizzle. Mm dessert goodness. The shaved ice was shaved ice. They all taste the same. The brick toast was good. Literally chocolate delight. Brownies, Oreos, marshmallow, m&ms, and chocolate ice cream.
Really, all of these places are the same, the only thing people try to do is decorate their brick toast differently and add different desserts to attract all of these customers. Maybe someone will open a churro ice cream sandwich like they have in LA or something. Hint hint.
I’d come back because this place opens late and it’s never busy. Lol. Great to come with friends.

Sno-​Crave is one of the only places in the Sacramento area to get shaved snow, and brick toast. I do enjoy Sno-​Crave more than the other similar shops in the proximity. One reason is that the pricing is a little bit cheaper than Snowbee across the street, and another reason is the variety of food you can get at Sno-​Crave. Their food and tea are pretty on point but service has been spotty, which is why it only gets 4 stars.
Atmosphere is pretty chill here. Usually they have some type of music going, with a random movie playing on the TVs (no sound). There are a few tables, but not really enough to seat a group larger than say…10. And 10 would probably be pushing it. Sno-​Crave seems to be a place for smaller groups. I would say that they could put a couple more tables in the middle of the floor, if the owners chose to do so.
One benefit of Sno-​Crave is that it has many types of desserts, which will appeal to those who can’t decide what they want. You can get brick toast, sweet dessert soups (think hot grass jelly soup or red bean with tang yun), crepes, snow, milk tea/​tea, and a few more random desserts.
Their tea has been good every time I’ve been here, and I particularly like the hot brown sugar milk tea. Because it is hot, the tea actually comes in a cute teapot accompanied by a matching cute teacup. The hot tea is great for a cold, blustery day (or night). The snow here is my favorite in the area; it is a little simpler (less toppings) than Vampire penguin across the street, but the flavor is better IMO. I usually find VP too sweet and not as fluffy. I like getting the green tea snow with condensed milk. I do wish the snow was fluffier, as its current texture is kind of like frozen ribbons that can break apart. The crepes and dessert soups also hit the spot once in a while.
As I said above, the only thing holding Sno-​Crave back from 5 stars is the spotty service. Service can be slow, and sometimes waiters will not know the answers to our questions (e.g. «What is in _​_​_​_​_​_​brick toast?»). I am going to attribute this to the fact that Sno-​Crave has not been open very long and may be still in the process of training staff.
Overall, I would recommend Sno-​Crave if you had to choose a place to get desserts in the area (or if you just wanted Asian desserts). Asian desserts is the one thing I missed when moving to Sac from the Bay Area, and now I’m glad there is a place to get some!

I wanted to like this place, I really did… After the plain brick toast and the mediocre milk tea I got on my first visit, I still returned to give them a second and third chance. Sadly today was the final straw :(
I brought my friends here to try out Snocrave for the first time. We ordered the Macaron Party honey toast and for a drink I went with the strawberry milk tea. The Macaron Party is topped with 3 macarons, 3 ice cream flavors and marshmallows (what? I thought it was mochi…). But somehow with all of those toppings, the toast was extremely dry and maybe borderline burnt. Normally I don’t mind eating the crust on honey brick toasts but this one was just unbearable.
But that wasn’t even the terrible part. I definitely hated the drink I ordered. It was watery, it was sour, it just tasted gross. I even tried to taste it a few more times to see if it would get better and it didn’t — even my friends said it was gross. And I am a true boba fan, I finish every boba drink I order to the very last sip even if it’s not the best one I’ve tasted. When the lady cleared our plates and trash I told her she could take my milk tea away (not even ¼ finished) and she didn’t say a word about it. Not to mention she brought the wrong drink to my friend but he was nice enough to keep it anyway.
For my brick toast cravings I plan on sticking to Snowbee or Snobites. More for your money and waaaay better drinks. Sorry Snocrave :(

Formerly known as Snowflake Teahouse, Sno-​Crave is yet another new brick toast/​shaved snow/​boba/​crazy Asian dessert shop. I’ve visited one of their locations in Fremont once before, and I was not too impressed. I was hoping this location would be better since the owners chose a location that is home to multiple similar shops. Unfortunately, this place was a letdown.
Firstly, I tried (YES, TRIED) to eat here last week. However, it was fairly busy with only two tiny tables available. We were a party of four, and the employee first asked if we wanted to dine in or do take out. We told her we wanted to dine in. She then told us that because they were busy, they were only doing to go orders. Why didn’t she just say that initially? I don’t know, but we decided to just leave and come back another time.
Fast forward to Sunday evening, and I found myself in an empty Sno-​Crave. I ordered blueberry shaved snow, topped with strawberries ($ 1) aloe vera ($ 0.50) and condensed milk (free99!)
About 10 minutes later, we received our snow with only condensed milk. We informed the lady who delivered our snow, who was a different lady from the one who took our order, that our order was incomplete. We recited our toppings to her and she took our order back, said something in a different language to the lady who took our order, and brought back our snow, which had already started to melt, with only strawberries. Seriously? We were the only diners; therefore I can’t wrap my head around how a miscommunication could occur. I didn’t want to send it back again, so I made sure that the lady knew we did not have the aloe vera topping. She apologized sincerely, but that was all.
As for the snow, it was icy. I could see the ice in my snow. I liked the blueberry flavor, though, which actually came through nicely. Despite this fact, I would not order snow from here if I were to come back. I might come back to try their crepes, with an emphasis on the word ‘MIGHT.’

After discovering the delicious delights and flavor sensations of shaved snow, I just can’t get enough! Joe K. and I are becoming regulars at some of the local shaved snow establishments in my area. It seems like they are popping up all over town! But with good reason, these desserts are sooooo satisfying! I would even eat them instead of lunch or dinner anytime!
Sno-​Crave is South Sacramento’s newest addition to the already saturated area near Stockton Blvd’s restaurant row, tea and shaved snow stations. When we entered this shop, I noticed right off that they didn’t seem to expect a lot of business. They had limited seating even though there was plenty of floor space available. Luckily for us, we were the only ones there. We received friendly and attentive service from the young lady who manned the floor. She handed us colorful menus that made it extra hard to decide on what to order. The pictures of the desserts were all displayed in a pleasing and mouthwatering presentation.
Finally, we ordered two desserts to share. The first one was a tasty mango shaved snow with sweetened condensed milk and the second item was the «Black Humor» which was a large square building of honey toast filled with 3 scoops of chocolate ice cream and topped with so many delicious cookies, candies and whipped cream that the word «rich» doesn’t do it justice! This was our dinner! And I was in a heavenly sweet trance of chocaholism afterward!
I’m looking forward to returning here again for dinner, dessert or just on a whim!

I had a pretty decent experience with my friends here last Saturday. We came in with a group of 8 people and were greeted upon entering. The lady at the front quickly moved around tables to seat us.
I tried the earl grey milk tea and the tiramisu dessert. Both items were really delicious! The tiramisu was yummy AND pretty to look at.
Games are available at the front.
What’s confusing is that no check was brought to us despite being seated, brought menus, had our orders taken from our tables, and had our items brought to us. We had to go up and pay.
The place is actually *really* nice inside. However, the place lacks seating and it lacks energy. It’s not as cracking as the location in Fremont, but I hope things pick up for the business!

It’s fucking annoying that this place is too cheap to turn on the air conditioner and they have to leave their doors open. And right outside the doors are fuckers smoking. So where does the smoke go? Inside the restaurant. If I hadn’t ordered anything I would soooo leave right now.
Never coming back to this place. With all the other great flavored snow places on Stockton Blvd this is the last place I’d come back to. Disappointed because its a very convenient place after Boiling Crab Dinner.
