Went here today around lunch. I didn't realize this place has been here for years inside the mall! I ordered a coconut tea, blended. The wonderful girl behind the counter was patient with my many questions, suggesting the popping yogurt tapioca inside that. It was super good! I'll be back here for my boba tea fix, and will update further! :) read more

Good place. Still open, it's in the food court now. You can draw a doodle to stick on the wall.

This place opened in the mall a few months ago where the old Hot Stop used to be. This is the first place in Lake Jackson where you can get Bubble Tea. Overall, Ice Valley Smoothies falls short in most categories. The decor is minimal, with bright colors freshly painted on the walls with nothing but a logo and a menu hanging on them. The interior doesn't really look like they finished it when they renovated. There is no television on the wall nor is there a radio or music playing. This makes for an eerily quiet setting, almost uncomfortable. A TV would go a long way. They have a lot of pretty fruit facing the mall corridor but what they use in the drinks is in plastic tubs sitting behind glass inside next to the register sort of the way Subway displays their veggies and meats behind glass. The fruit all looks pretty drab, especially toward the end of the day. I'd go around lunch for the freshest fruit. Don't let the "Smoothie" in the name of the business confuse you. Virtually every item on their menu except the fresh juices seems to be made with Bubble Tea powder and water. Whether they're calling it a smoothie or actually using the term Bubble Tea, the powders all come from the same tubs, the only difference seems to be that they dump a few chunks of fruit into the blender on the ones they call "Smoothie". They'll put protein in your "Smoothie" if requested (extra charge) but the sugar content of the bubble tea powder makes this not a very healthy option for health-conscious customers. I haven't tried the "milkshake" nor have I tried their fresh juices. A word of warning for folks heading here after a workout: they have no nutritional information available for anything that they make. With the exception of the whey protein, the powders are all dumped into tubs and aren't in the original containers, so there's no way of knowing what's in the drinks even if you wanted to go that route. Their equipment is very nice and appears to be new. They have two very nice Vita-mix blenders so their "smoothies" are well blended. They also have the automatic cup sealing machine so your drinks won't leak which is a nice touch, but the jar of whey protein sitting on top of the sealer is a bit distracting. There is a juicer present in the back that looks like a fairly nice unit and I'd imagine they could make some decent juices. The Bubble Tea is okay, but it's just the standard powder with water and Coffee Mate added. I don't think any of them have actual brewed tea in them. The tapioca pearls are very plain, not sweet, lacking any texture, as though it was sitting in the boil water for a long time. The jellies and other sinkers are standard-issue and nothing special. The best bubble tea houses add their own special touch to their drinks. These guys seem content to follow the directions on the box. That's fine, but it fails to stand out. Everything is prepared with the server's back turned. They prefer that you have a seat and look away while they prepare your drink. The guy who works there is nice enough, but I am very put off by the way he emphatically suggests I sit down immediately after ordering. After the first time I visited, I figured he would realize I like to watch, but the suggestion to sit persists after three visits. Compared to any Bubble Tea place you'd find in Houston, this place doesn't cut it at all. For Lake Jackson, it gets an extra point, but it's still not very good. To try to sell Bubble Tea in Lake Jackson, you'd really need to hit a home run and this place doesn't measure up on any level. As a smoothie place for a health conscious customer, it's not really an option for the reasons already stated. I've been there three times at this point and I'll probably not be going back. read more

Ice Valley Smoothies - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Lake Jackson, Texas

2 stars because when they first opened it was outstanding from customer service to the drink! Now currently 2019 it has been a mess. Every time I visit lake Jackson as I am from Fort Worth I have experienced bad customer service with the man telling me he does not have time to make it, WOW! Shocking to me he said I can make you something quick but for that one you should next time think about coming early. Ok I guess, maybe he was having a bad day but the next time I went I received the same mean attitude guy! I'm not a mean person always cheering people up but wow I couldn't deal with him anymore so no more boba for me in lake Jackson. The environment is good but very quiet. They always run out of supplies and say I don't have that or this and pick something else like why even have it on the menu then. Take it off the menu or keep your stuff stocked! My daughter went there even after I warned her and she came back saying yup I was right she got the same guy who was very disrespectful to her and told her some things that made her upset throughout the day! Please fix this issue I'm sure you can make better boba and have happy customers with a few changes! read more

We enjoy getting smoothies here when in the mall. We've even occasionally came in just to get the smoothies and take them home. My favorite is the pina colada with mango boba. Each time we've visited the server was very nice. read more

I was visiting Lake Jackson today & found this place inside the mall. I wasn't sure which drink I wanted and the guy working there (Jared) was so nice & explained the differences to me. I went with his recommendation & loved the avocado smoothie (they use real avocado, not powder like some other places). A woman came in while he was making my drink & Jared greeted her and said he'd be right with her. The customer service was great. Thanks, Jared! read more

Me and my husband walked in for a quick smoothie on our way out with 10 minutes to spare and one of the ladies that was cleanin she gave me and my husband the worst death stair you can imagine..I felt so uncomfortable..so she the other young lady said we aren't taking any more orders sorry(very snooty like) I wasn't surprised at all!!! So I'm my sure how the smoothies taste but I do know you shouldn't ever close early!! And definitely need to work on customer service!! read more

Great place! The smoothies were good. I got a Mango-Kiwi and it was delicious. A little sweet, but good. The young man behind the counter was friendly and smiled. The fruit looked fresh. The paint design of the place is a little bland, but brightly colored with yellow and green, and I think orange. The drinks seem a little pricey, but were worth it. They also had a wide selection of fruit and drinks that you could make. They had frappes and "Bubble teas", made with tapioca balls (I didn't even know those were a thing), and I can't wait to go back to try them. The service was also extremely fast, my drink was done in only two or three minutes. Overall, I highly recommend this place. read more
