Flavors menu
Anthony France T.

Family friendly and fast service. Good place to bring your little ones on a warm day. Extensive flavor list. There may be times when you get there and the line looks long. Trust me when I say they hustle and the line moves very quickly. There is a little area kids can run around and socialize.

Corn hole
Sumer M.

Very cute and clean place. Employees are super sweet and work quick. Of course the Italian ice is amazing. You have tons of flavors to choose from. They have a cute photo wall and cornhole boards to play nice seating area for family.

Found this place by accident but so glad we did. They have soooo many flavors to choose from. Been here a couple times and all the flavors I've gotten so far are amazing. My favorite so far is ocean mist with extra lime. I believe it coconut and lime with a few other flavors.

Grape, pina colada
Emily K.

This is the #1 spot for snowcones in Katy. The ice is super soft, and I haven't found another place nearby that compares. My favorite flavors are the pina colada, strawberry, and grape, but there are so many on the menu that you're likely to find whatever it is that you're looking for! The only downside is that they're only open during the summer. I'll be going back soon!

Canine oasis
Jo K.

As a self proclaimed snocone connoisseur, an an avid foodie- Bahama Mama hits the mark. Turning into the gravel parking lot transports me back to my small hometown in central Texas, where a snocone in the afternoon always made things right. They have cute umbrellas for shade as you wait for your order & cute benches for enjoying your selected ice treat. There are beautiful flowers to add to the aesthetic of summertime, and our dog loving family reall appreciates the "canine oasis" provided for our pooch when he joins. The simplest of joys, Bahama Mama captures the lightness of our childhoods in the summer.

We love Bahama Mama! Best shaved ice in town. And so reasonably priced. Such a huge portion! Their new owners are so sweet & hard working. What a cute trailer and visiting area. There's even a cute photo op spot. Love love.

Alphabetized flavors
Kelly N.

This place is perfect for the Houston heat. It's very family-friendly and has that summer vibe to it. There are benches and tables right next to the trailer if you want to relax with your shaved ice rather than get it to-go, but if you do, make sure you have napkins! If the place is a little more packed, it may be hard to get a parking spot. You can get your ice in four sizes: small, medium, large, and extra large. The prices may seem a little steep, but the ice is surprisingly very filling. Honestly, I think the small is enough to satisfy one person, MAYBE the medium if you're feeling up for it, but the large and extra large should be reserved for two or more people to share, if you don't want to end up drinking your shaved ice. There are a ton of flavors, so if you have trouble choosing, you can just ask an employee for a recommendation. They'll probably recommend wedding cake or tiger blood, though. No matter what flavor you decide to choose, I can guarantee that the ice is great quality. I know it's weird to describe it like this, but it's soft. I have no idea how they get the ice like that, but it's so easy to eat and enjoy. There aren't any chunks or anything.

Don't let looks fool you this place is awesome!

My kids and I came on a weekday and the drive-thru line was super long, so we decided to go inside. There were already about 8 people waiting for orders.

These poor kids have likely never been trained or given proper expectations by whoever the owner is. When things suck this badly, it is a direct reflection of ownership. Shame on the owner. Every time they get a little backed up, they lock the front door and tell people they're "closed" while they try to catch up on orders. Here's a TIP -- just make eye contact, acknowledge people waiting, and tell them it's going to be a while. Then it's up to them whether they decide to wait or not. Because the way this stuff is being handled currently is just wrong, ineffective, and reflects the decision making of scared children who haven't been properly equipped to deal with challenges. To the owner: stop being cheap. Protect these kids.

The coffee shop is part of a shopping strip that includes other popular businesses like Aji Ramen and Hoodadak. The ambiance and decor are quite lovely! The cafe is much larger inside than I expected, and it was super clean with good, reliable WiFi. We just stopped by for a few minutes and were recommended the honey nut latte as one of their more popular drinks. We got it hot. It was perfect! Not too hot, definitely not cold, great flavor, strong coffee flavor, and not too sweet. There's also a wall of fancy teas that's definitely worth checking out. (See my photo.) Service was also good! Nice, kind employee and the drink came out quickly. Luckily there wasn't a line when I arrived and only 2 other people in the cafe chatting at the time.

Trying to pick a place to eat in Katy Asia town can be overwhelming, and sadly, many places are underwhelming, but not SnowCano! Family-owned and operated, you'll always see the owner Quin behind the counter making all the drinks and snacks piping hot and fresh! She's super passionate and wants to offer the best and you can really taste the quality in her food! She doesn't compromise quality despite how hard the F&B are being hit right now. If you're lucky, you'll get to meet her mom too! She's so friendly and kind! My favorite on their drink menu is the yin yang coffee - a spin off of a cafe sua da with their signature teddy bear coffee to prevent diluting the drinks with water! Such a cute and smart way to keep your coffee cold and still tasting like coffee down to the last sip! I also love their teas and most recently tried their mango tea as well! Perfect level of sweetness! The star of the show has to be the bread on their banh mi!! Please try it and tell me what you think! Their bread is 100!!! The pork Banh mi is my favorite and is moist! Could use a little more flavor tho! But the pork itself is solid! Their popcorn chicken is a staple and also a go-to favorite of ours! Quin is a passionate, small business owner who really cares about her patrons and serving the best quality food and drinks! Love coming back again and again!

Since this establishment is in a town called Katy in Texas, I needed to know how far of a trek it would. This establishment is so cute! The have a photo area, billiards and a foosball table. I can probably stay here for hours. As my friends and I entered, I was greeted by a staff. She was super friendly and personable. The staff here are awesome! As we wanted to try a bunch of stuff, we ordered tea drinks, coffee drinks, banh mi's, and chicken wings. The drinks were all modified as I like my drinks less sweet. The coffee bear was super cute! I do regret not being able to try the shave ice/snow. I guess it'll just have to make another trip out there!

Letting them know my kid has an allergy (because that's what the menu CLEARLY says), I asked about substituting. The guy with the glasses (not the tall guy, I'm sure some are familiar who I'm talking about), is off put, not friendly, but said will substitute. I ordered a desert item from the image menu, then noticed they only substituted 1 scoop, but didn't substitute the 2nd scoop. The image only shows 1 scoop. What kind of OUTDATED menu this is?! Doesn't make sense to only sub 1 scoop. I asked him nicely about this. He says a charge of $1. He DIDN'T tell me about this beforehand. What kind of a communication was this?!?! I would pay the darn $1 extra if he said it and state the image error BEFOREHAND. Confusing menu and service! I looked at him, and said well, I'll just keep it, and not bother, BUT he gives a mini tantrum and walking away like a frustrated kid. What the heck?! I guess I should apologize if he has some mental issues so please let us know! This guy doesn't know how to communicate. Again, if you have some mental issues, please let us know. Overall I feel he has a distaste in socializing with customers, especially if there is something wrong. I ask the other employees about the issue and feel they are aware of this too. I don't care if he reads this, because this guy clearly needs someone else to take over if he doesn't like to solve issues. I'm not the only one who reviewed about terrible customer service and it's not from the other employees. I'm not the only review about allergies and terrible service about this guy. Don't put that allergy information about "letting us know" if you don't want to offer the service!

I have a ton of younger cousins who are always working with an allowance budget, so finding somewhere that can actually appease their appetite without breaking the bank is not easy--especially if you're feeding 10+ kids. MeetFresh's $15 giant desserts are truly the king of both budget and flavor. I cannot stress enough how much of a hit this place was the first time I recommended it to my cousins. Whether I'm with them or not, they always make a point to stop by whenever they drive into Houston from College Station. For that reason alone, MeetFresh holds a special place in my heart. It has given my large family a fun, worthwhile experience time and time again. On my most recent visit, we had a friend flying in from Chicago, so we brought him and his girlfriend here. We collectively ordered the Taro Mochi Milk Shaved Ice, and wow--if you're a fan of Chinese herbal flavors, this is the dessert for you. I usually stick with the mango or strawberry fruit dishes, but this one reminded me of Sâm Bổ Lượng, a Vietnamese chè/sweet soup. The flavors were earthy, comforting, and perfectly balanced in sweetness. I genuinely could not stop eating it until the very end, when all that was left was a puddle of melted ice and mixed-up dessert "schlop" -- LOL. Truly, thank you, MeetFresh, for being such a great place to gather, share, and enjoy dessert without needing a huge budget.

BF hosted a major get-together for friends and chose this gem as the gathering spot. No regrets all…read morearound--everyone thought it was a great place to eat, catch up, and spend the afternoon. Malaysian Grilled Chicken Satay - Super tender with a sweet peanut sauce that really accentuated the flavors. Probably my favorite appetizer so far--had to be extra careful around my BF after this! Definitely my brother's personal favorite; I'm sure he ate 3 of them! Hainanese Chicken & Rice - Very tender and chewy with a mild flavor. The ginger-and-scallion sauce at the bottom was very refreshing, and the aromatic rice was among the most delicious I've had! I saw that the grains looked similar to Vietnamese broken rice because they weren't fully rounded. For some reason, this made the texture so much more appealing to me. Curry Chicken Puff - Love the curry flavor of this and the delicacy of the puff pastry. The shell isn't too thick, and the vegetables are very well infused with the curry, making them strong contributors to the overall flavor. Despite it being a pastry, I didn't feel overwhelmed by the carbs--indicating that the breading-to-stuffing ratio of this sat at the perfect pinnacle. Malaysian Roti Canai - One of my absolute favorite dishes here. I would come to this place just for this--the whole table compared the combo to crack. No joke. The chicken and potatoes are some of the most tender pieces in this dish, and you could slurp the broth like it's its own dish. I watched this go way too fast, and even two orders per table were not enough to satisfy the crowd. Malaysian Roti Canai (w. Egg) - Love the original much more, but this was still very delicious. They made the egg very thin, so it didn't overwhelm the roti. The egg took away from my favorite roti taste, but it was so well seasoned I wasn't even that angry about it. Malaysian Char Kuey Teow (Migoreng) - OOH. This has a unique flavor--much more savory than packaged ramen. The texture of the noodles is very inviting. It's much less salty compared to the pre-packaged Migoreng. The flavor was more umami. Rich, deep, and just the perfect amount to coat the noodles. Stir-Fried Mixed Vegetable (w. Tofu) - This is a very saucy vegetable dish, but I didn't mind it at all. I loved it, though it was the last dish I had and I was definitely stuffed by then. The sauce reminds me of a thinner Migoreng sauce--more viscous than a loose sauce, but not as thick as Migoreng. Very good, but my taste buds were definitely overwhelmed at this point. Malaysian Milk Tea - Not as sweet as I expected. I was told the tea leaves were imported from Malaysia, and our table ended up ordering six of them. The lingering bitterness in the aftertaste is something I'm very fond of, and the tea flavor is exceptionally rich. The milk infusion in this is peak. Malaysian Lime "Calamansi" & Plum Drink - Tasted like a lime-tamarind drink to my BF, while my brother and I thought it tasted like Vietnamese chanh muối. Overall, Uncle Chin's lived up to the hype, just as I knew it would from the day my BF brought home leftover roti from his very first visit. The buzz of having 16 people definitely distracted me from paying close attention to every dish--I even missed taking a few photos--but one thing remained true: everyone was talking about the food. Every time a new dish came out, the table erupted with commentary about its flavor, uniqueness, and overall impact. Some dishes stole the show more than others (my lovely roti, hello), but every single one earned its place on the menu. Very sad we didn't get to see Uncle Chin sing, but with 16 people to serve during the lunch rush, I'm sure he was pretty overwhelmed.
