Luckily we came during Saratoga classic car Sunday and i think it deters people since they can't park on the street so luckily less people than normal. Learned that their bakery items are from Sakura bakery which i really like! I got the hojicha latte no sugar, avocado toast, and pistachio rose gluten free cake. The hojicha latte is the best ive tried so far! So good even without sugar, smooth but still a deep toasted taste and not grainy. The pistachio rose cake was nice and rosey and generous. Really liked the avocado toast with a nice balsamic sauce. Overall def recommend and want to come back to try more of their drinks and bakery items!!

This is a good ice cream parlor. I believe it's Mediterranean (or something like that) and it was fantastic. I've never had this type of ice cream before, but now I am a fan. I could eat coffee ice cream every day for the rest of my life, but I shouldn't. This ice cream was rich, creamy with an exotic flavor to it that I can't quite describe skillfully. However, it was fantastic. I am definitely remembering it the next time I'm in Saratoga. Now for the pics.

I got to try four flavors -- pistachio rose, sunset mango, taro ube, and strawberry puree -- and honestly, they were all so good! I love that the coconut jelly is soft and bouncy, and the desserts aren't overly sweet or heavy. They're super refreshing and easy to eat. But if I had to pick a favorite, sunset mango takes the win. The sweet mango, chewy purple rice, and creamy coconut jelly together are so good. Definitely the one I'd go back for!

The Strawberry Puree had a little too much strawberry at the bottom compared to the pudding, so the flavor was a bit overwhelming, but still good. The Triple Matcha was really good and surprisingly not too strong, even though it's called "triple" matcha. The Pistachio Rose was a little too floral for me, and the rose flavor overpowered the pudding.

I asked which options were vegan-friendly, and the person at the register said they have two options: Mango Sago and HK Lemon Tea. I opted for the Mango Sago Bowl. The bowls and spoon are super cute! I loved the fresh mango (I wish there was more on top) and the icy mango base. The sago pearls were tiny and added some texture. I skipped the tea because I planned to get a drink next door, but I would try it next time.

They have an impressive variety of drinks and desserts, and I especially love that their snow/bingsu comes in three different sizes (small, medium, large), making it perfect whether you're treating yourself or sharing with friends. On my latest visit, I tried the Banana Matcha drink, and the flavor was delicious. The banana layer on the bottom is a nice touch and you can clearly taste both the matcha and banana. My only note is that I wish the layer on top was a bit thicker for a creamier texture. Even so, the quality and consistency keep me coming back. If you're craving shaved snow desserts, soft serve or unique drinks, Snowtime is always worth a visit!

Tried the pesto cheese, blueberry cream cheese custard, and Nutella flavors, crispy, salty, and sweet, very flavorful. We had like 6-7 of those and still wanted more.

We came to the shop around 11:30 a.m. on August 23rd…read more When we arrived there were two patrons outside enjoying their coffee and pastry and another set of patrons inside a little girl with their dad having a little tea party. I will say that walking in the space is elegant is the word I would like to use but also inviting with the little extras that they do at the table with the fresh flowers the soft chairs the colorful decor that surrounds it. Also the two individuals behind the counter that were taking orders and packaging things were just a delight. Both of them greeted us with a smile and they asked us if it was our first time to the shop and we told them yes and so they walked us through some of the more popular items and how are things were broken down and that was very much appreciated cuz there are many many options in front of you in unless you know exactly what you want you can be looking at everything for a couple of minutes before you decide on even one thing. We ended up getting a regular latte and a rose latte for our drinks. And then as a little delicious taste of something we got the chocolate croissant and the almond croissant. I am going to comment on my rose latte first that thing was beautifully made because though it was sweet but in a way that wasn't overpowering because you could still taste a little bit of the caffeine the creaminess of the milk that was used and the espresso it was like a hint in the background so a little call out there if you're someone that really wants to taste their coffee this wasn't the jam for you and that's okay my husband got the regular latte with steamed milk and I tasted his and that was like coffee in your face so you can always go for a solid twist like that. And to clarify his latte was also very good because it just tasted so fresh and of high quality. Now for the pastries. They were stupendous because they had the right amount of flakiness but softness. They also were buttery but not overly so were like major hands feel greasy it was so savory both of them which is interesting because the fillings one was chocolate one was almond I would have thought that both of them would have had an overpowering sweetness to them. We will say that we both liked the almond croissant more not that the chocolate one wasn't just as good. The almond had a little bit of a 1up because I don't know how to explain it it's almost like it had a almond crumble at the top so you bit into the pastry which was fluffy but you had the crunch on the top then you had a little bit of the almond filling and then you had the butter and like the soft but almost chewiness of the inside of the layers just stupendous all of that together was great. If we end up ever being in that area again will definitely want to go back to try the rest of the stuff they had because I want to know how everything else takes especially those beautiful cakes that were just art themselves

I haven't tried other drinks so I won't comment on those~ Drinks taste and smell like durian, definitely only for durian lovers. There's durian flesh/pulp at the bottom~ The Signature Golden Durian Smoothie is the one I would recommend if you love durian. The Durian Blossom is also very pleasant because it mixes in jasmine tea! The one durian drink I didn't like was Durian Silk Brew (I think this is a seasonal drink) because it included fermented rice. The mix of durian and alcohol/fermentation was too much for my taste buds. Line can be long, there are a few kiosks inside to place your orders and some (usually crowded) tables at the side.

Not only does it get really busy after work hours, many parking spots are reserved for other businesses. It's also usually crowded inside, making snagging a seat a bit hard. It's a popular spot, and I can see why--the menu features many different bingsoo options alongside other desserts, and they're all very beautiful and cute. There's also free WiFi and bathroom access. I will note that they don't seem particularly diligent about cleaning up between customers. You pick your own seats, and when I finally found a table, there was food residue visible on the tabletop. Their prices are a little higher than some other spots in SJ (ranging from ~$13 to $19 pre-tax), and I don't think the quality of the bingsoo is noticeably better to justify the price. I tried a pricier one (the premium strawberry), and found it to be quite good, but not $20 good. Plus, some aspects seem designed more for pictures than for eating. The little cheesecake slice is a bit hard because it's cold and difficult to eat with the shaved ice. That said, their bingsoo does taste good! The fruit tasted fresh and sweet, and the portion was enough for me to share with my partner. I wish the condensed milk was provided on the side instead of already poured on top, but I didn't mind the amount they gave. I may not be back immediately in the future, but I wouldn't mind visiting again. I would probably stick to the lower-priced options myself, though. If you visit, do keep in mind that it's usually really busy--your order probably will take a minute, and whether that's worth it or not is up to you.
