    I really enjoyed the black sesame and matcha soft serve in red bean with taiyaki with dalgona topping! This was a great dessert recommendation from a friend and it was super close to where I stayed last time I was in Arizona two years ago! So much has changed. Definitely a great place to get dessert to beat the heat. The owners seem to be Korean especially with all of the decorations and fun vibes! The order came out quick and the soft serve was really smooth. I loved how the sesame and matcha compliment each other well! The dalgona was caramel-y but crunchy -- I think something crunchy but sprinkled all over would be nicer though next time! I liked the taiyaki cone though!

    My sister and I were just passing through the area but we knew we needed a sweet treat, and this is what was recommended locally! I'm glad we stopped in, because not only was the ice cream really good, but the store itself was very cute! There was a Photo Booth, complete with fun sunglasses and cute props to make your Photo Booth experience that much more memorable! If we're in the area again, I know we will definitely stop by again!

    What a gem. This ma just be my kids new favorite place. Ice cream was delicious and employees are so kind and give great suggestions.

    Classic ice-cream place with a fun twist of flavors and types of cones. You first have to try the fish cone which is a cute soft cone with filling inside in addition to ice cream. They got awesome flavors like Taro and Mango. Also mixes can happen as well. Includes a variety of toppings, go for the boba. Make sure to chill out in the photo booth before you get your ice cream because it may take a bit of a wait. It's worth it!

    Came by after dinner, been here a few times and usually like it, but this time the mango ice cream was just way too sweet. We couldn't even finish it, which was a bummer. But we still had fun! The place has a cute, trendy vibe and we had a great time goofing around in the Photo Booth. Staff was nice and service was quick. We'll probably come back, just gonna try a different dessert next time!

    My friend has been raving about this place since moving to Arizona and finally tried it! I've been a little homesick as my go-to place used to be Somi-Somi back when I still lived in The Bay Area-- so to see a new dessert place that satisfies those cravings made me so happy! What makes this place different from Somi-Somi is that you are able to actually add other little ingredients, like Pocky, cereal, sprinkles, mochi, etc.! The ice cream is also not extremely sweet so if you decide to add those extra ingredients, it really balances everything out! I'm a huge sucker for Taro and really enjoyed their Milk Taro! I'll definitely be back to try other flavors... plus their tornado deep fried potato sticks!!!

    Staple spot in Scottsdale, kind of a locals iykyk spot which I'm not complaining about. You can't go wrong with your order, all the options are great, but of course you have to try the iconic fish ice cream. I love the black sesame/matcha combination. The mango shaved ice is a great option for my lactose-free friends too. Location is cute, can definitely sit and eat there with family/friends. There's some outdoor seating for when the weather outside is nice. The best part- there's a photo booth inside! I love a photo booth, and it's perfect to play around with while you wait for your order to be made.

    This place is so cute! We stumbled upon this in the area. Lots of variety with desserts and a fun atmosphere. We LOVED the photoshoot too it was such a great idea!! Staff was friendly, service was fast, place was very clean.

    We finally made it here.

    First time here! WOW, it was a purple thick ice cream extremely dense and delicious. I would definitely recommend this place.

    Chocolate with fruity pebbles

    I have wanted to try this spot since it opened and finally did! I love soft serve but surprisingly not that many places seem to offer it. I went here with my family on a Thursday night and it was not busy, for most of the time we had the place to ourselves! They have lots of options, like flavored waffle cones! I ended up just going simple and getting chocolate in a cup with fruity pebbles, since I shared with my husband who is a bit picky, my dad and mom shared chocolate and milk flavors in a cup. The texture was really good but I wished it had a stronger chocolatey flavor. I'd probably try the taro or mango next time. My son enjoyed a few bites as well! My favorite part was the photobooth, large enough to fit all 4 adults and one toddler! Also you can order at a kiosk or just at the register. Very cute in here and glad we visited.

    Taro and milk fish cone with custard filling

    My husband and I were craving some Japanese sweets since our trip to Japan last October and this was the perfect place! I got the strawberry parfait with super fresh strawberries. My husband got the taro and milk fish cone with custard filling which was done to perfection. The shop is super cute with a little photo booth with props. The service was great, and the person working was super friendly. I will definitely be back to get the fruity fiesta egg waffle and taiyaki!

    Very cute little shop. The staff were friendly. Everything was delicious. I plan to go back in the future for more.

    Milk and taro- pretty!
    Ryen B.

    Yum! Cute spot for creamy soft serve. Taro and milk flavor mix was tasty, though mostly just tasted like vanilla. K liked the crispy bits in the stawberry parfait. Friendly staff, clean space, and a fun photo booth with lots of props for making silly memories.

    The taiyaki with the milk taro soft serve was delicious! Added bonus was the dalgona topping. Fast service. Would totally go again.

    Wowwww... finally I found something different--not just all about Boba but also a good crazy mixed…read morewith variety of drinks that make it hard to decide, but whatever you go for--Its goooood! The service is amazing, simple , fast delivery. The menu is a large selection that you may need some time to think about it before you walk in -- but it's all about what is the most interesting drink for you, or ask the staff there, they know their good stuffs. The shop can walk through, order than go, they don't really have a table for you to sit down, but I personally think grab and go is sound make a lot of sense since the location is in MaeKong Plaza( Asian Market) Come and check it out yourself, you will love it!

    We have been to Tea Snow numerous times and they have an insane amount of options to choose from. I…read moreabsolutely love their mango coco cream, which is more like a thick smoothie. This go around I just tried their mango milk tea. It was sweet with a good amount of mango flavor, not overwhelming at all. My go to is always their brown sugar boba, it has better flavor than their honey boba. They also offer an upgrade to a large for only 25 cents more, it's the best option every time. If you are in the market, definitely stop in. You will be sure to find a good option with their large menu.
