Love this lite refreshing cool summer (& spring & autumn in Houston) warm weather dessert. I'm allergic to milk so the coconut non dairy is great for me. Love taking family or friends for a nice after dinner or late night treat. The mountain is plenty to share. I'm short, so checking off my order on a paper template saves me from having to try to yell it over the glass high top counter. Enjoy! You won't regret it. read more

Everything was delicious, the place is small and cozy, and the service is very friendly--I always love it! read more

Visited for some dessert after having dinner nearby. If you check-in on Yelp, you'll get a complimentary topping!! I feel like not many places have these deals, so it was a nice surprise! The place is pretty small, but it was empty and easy to find a spot to sit. Ordered a green tea ice with mochi on the side and the condensed milk on the side. The mochi was super chewy and good, and the green tea flavor was great! The booth and tables were clean. Parking is also easy and free read more

Absolutely amazing!! Definitely try this out! You can choose from several combinations that are already have the flavors and toppings decided or you can build your own. You choose between a hill or a mountain size. I played it smart and ordered a hill size and built my own- got salted caramel ice, drizzled with caramel and condensed milk and added m&m's. The way the ice is shaved makes it creamy like a lighter version of ice cream. It did not melt too quickly either. Service was helpful and offered suggestions. Super cute vibe on the inside! read more

It was so busy at 9:10 pm. The parking lot is big enough so that was good. Inside, every table was full so we waited to togos got their items and left to sit at a table. We watch three people get play their claw game, only one was successful at getting something after three tries (the bigger machine that is $2 per play). I got a large drink and man, it was large!!! And only $5.50!!!! Wow. The drink was ok but not the best drink ever. I was come back here. read more

The shaved ice was pretty yummy being creamier than I expected. The milk tea was the bomb. We got the brown sugar milk tea. I would definitely come back for the milk tea. The staff were very polite as well. The lady at the counter explained that they were out of some items so she told me what they did have available after I asked. The store is on the smaller side but it looks cool on the inside. They also have a few booths/tables if you're trying to stay for a little. I really wanted to try the vanilla ice so I'll definitely come back again! read more

Nu Ice & Drinks - Brown Sugar milk tea and strawberry ice with almonds, strawberries, banana, whip cream and condensed milk drizzle - Desserts Near Me - Houston, Texas

Loved this place, can't wait to come back and try more. It's located in a strip mall, with a good amount of parking. There are a lot of spots reserved for various businesses, but plenty of parking in the center. I was looking to get my Thai tea with boba fix, and they didn't disappoint, the boba was so silky and smooth, I was pretty amazed. Service was not the friendliest but that's likely because there was only one person behind the counter, so can't blame the guy. There were two large groups of folks there, and it's not super large inside, but it's a cute chill place. read more

I remember when Nu Ice came onto the scene in Houston as the state's first shaved ice establishment. Everyone had to go get their pics and try it out. Since then, they opened up this second location and there are plenty of copycats around. This location is located in a shopping strip with other businesses so parking ease depends on the time of day you come . I've been here a few times, usually after lunch nearby and have never really got any big crowds or waits. Customer service is good, no complaints. Everyone always seems to be in good mood at ice cream shops. They sell a variety of tasty treats here. They got coffee, milk teas, boba, teas, slush, fruit juice, and smoothies. What they're known for though is their Nu Ice which is shaved ice. You can order one of their creations or you can create your own. Just pick up a clipboard and customize it the way you want. First you pick a size. Now a single serving is pretty generous and the prices here are super wallet friendly considering what you're getting. Hill size for one gets you one topping, Mountain size serves 2 and gets you two toppings. They have a pretty good variety of flavors most of which are cool flavors you may not see elsewhere. My first time here we shared a strawberry with strawberry, mango and lychee jelly. I then topped it with condensed milk. I didn't know what to expect since they claim they are not ice cream, snow cone nor yogurt. What I got was a delicious and unique dessert in a world of its own. It had a snow cone feel but ate like an ice cream. I don't know how to explain it. The fresh toppings were a nice addition. On a separate visit I tried a vanilla with almonds, strawberry and mango poppers. Another tasty creation. Their boba game is strong too. I really enjoyed my milk tea with tapioca. Overall, this is a tasty treat that's a nice change from the usual desserts you might get. I'll be back. read more

Love the convenience of this location, it is a bit small but doesn't seem to be crowded. The shave ice is served on a plate if you get it for here and in a cup if you get it to go. I would t get it in a cup as i noticed it gets pretty squished down. Service was quick and wonderful!! The shave ice is flavorful and fresh. read more

My aunt and cousins came from out of town and really wanted shaved ice. We were debating whether it was worth it to go all the way in bellaire when I found this place! First impressions: The area gets super packed depending on the time and day you're going. It's right next to oh my Gogi (one of my fave food places) and spotlight karaoke that gets packed on the weekends and nights. We came during the day and there were only 30min parking spaces available for us. Service: Servers were very friendly and our drinks/shaved ice came out pretty fast. Food/Drinks: I got the Vietnamese iced coffee. It was okay, not my favorite, but it wasn't bad. I think the real saving grace here is the shaved ice. You're able to customize it to your liking and it tastes pretty good. We went for two chocolate type ones and were pretty satisfied (these are smalls btw). Definitely would come back, especially since I live super close! read more

It was on the smaller side. Only around 15 people's worth of seating. It was more cozy and older. Service was fast. Boba was okay but for the price it was more affordable. You could get shaved ice also! They have some desserts. read more

I stopped by on a weeknight. There was plenty of parking in the lot. It wasn't too crowded and service was friendly. I ordered the mango smoothie and added protein powder. The portion size was generous, but otherwise I wasn't a fan. The protein powder had a strong flavor. I would recommend either using less protein powder or using a different brand. read more

I was looking for dessert place to end my day after running a bunch if errands and this was the perfect way to end it. The locations is in one of the more crowded plazas, but I went on a weekday so it wasn't so bad. The service was quick and friendly. The portions were just right and it satisfied my sweet tooth. I walked in and filled out the slip of paper with the type of shaved ice I wanted and toppings and like I said the service was really quick and friendly. It is a bit retro looking and the seats do look worn and the place really look like they've been here a while. However, that said, it was moderately clean overall. Just about as soon I finished filling out the form and sat down, it was maybe less than five minutes that I got my order. I got a hill sized portion of shaved ice and yeah! The shaved ice was really stacked! The ice was very soft like snow and not icy at all and the toppings were perfect. It somehow ended not being too sweet which I was honestly surprised by, and the mochi was just the right amount of softness/chew. I had fun eating the dish and it was really yummy. If you're looking for nice cold treat, quick service, and are around the area, I would recommend you give it a try! read more

We love getting some boba from Nu but aren't able to very often as they don't have any locations on our side of town. On our most recent visit, we found out that you can ask them not to add extra sugar (making the drink sugar free) which we love as we are trying to watch our sugar intake. My fiancé and I are both creatures of habit and always order the mango slush with mango jelly and it still tastes amazing, even without the sugar. The service is usually pretty quick unless you happen to be there during a rush, so that's also nice. read more

Amazing. I had them at my college and I can't get enough. Great food and environment, especially on Beer Bike Week

Simple decor, ample seating area for big and small groups, and friendly staff. I love the green tea shaved ice. So glad to have found a place that sells flavored shaved ice. I could taste the green tea in the shaved ice. It was so delicious. Chocolate and mochi pair well with green tea, thus my topping choices. The Hill size is perfect for one. I also had the Super Mango smoothie with rainbow jelly. So so good. The smoothie is blended with real fruits! This is a perfect dessert place. I would come back for more. read more

I have been going here since 2015 and have never been disappointed! If you're looking for delicious boba tea options and one of the few places in Texas serving Artisan Shaved Ice, this is the spot for you! People might hear "shaved ice" and think of the usual, but this is definitely not your typical offering. I highly recommend stopping by to try a refreshing treat. The "HILL" size is perfect for two to share, making it a great option for a date or a fun outing with a friend. My personal favorite is the Taro with mochi and coffee toppings - an amazing combination of flavors and textures! read more

It was really good! We had the mango ice with a side of fresh mango and boba. It's smooth and creamy and just filled with mango flavor.

It was hard to find a clean table but it was maybe 45 min before closing so I get it. I will definitely be back. read more

I was pleasantly surprised when my family and I got dessert here! I come from CA, where I've had my fair share of bingsoo. Nu had one of the best shaved ice dishes I've had!! The dessert was so soft and had enough vanilla flavoring! I'm used to having watered down bingsoo, so I was more than happy with what we got! To order bingsoo, you complete a form that asks for the flavor, sauce, and topping(s). My family got the Mountain size, which is shareable, as seen in my pictures. They also offer a Hill size, which is the individual plating style. My Green Thai Tea, however, wasn't outstanding, but it was still enough to satisfy the boba craving. I got mine with flan since egg pudding wasn't an option. Service was relatively fast since I came with such a big group. This place is open late, which is perfect for late-night cravings. I recommend this place for those looking to satisfy their sweet tooth! read more

It must have been the owner working because he was very friendly. We order just the plain vanilla shave ice so we can see how the base shaved ice taste and it was sweet.

Bussin scale from 1-10 is a 10. We got a number one ice combo and its made perfectly, with the ice melting on your tongue. The mountain size is the perfect amount for three people and it's actually very large - the number one ice combo and an additional topping (95cents) came around to $12. However, the tables were very dirty when we sat down but also understandable since it was late at night and only one person working. read more

The shaved ice has a nice consistency and perfect amount of sweetness when paired with toppings. There's different flavors of ice such as strawberry, chocolate, mango, green tea, and more. You can get creative when it comes to the toppings and drizzled also. Definitely recommend getting the shaved ice here. I'm not really a fan of the drinks here. There's definitely better places when it comes to drinks. There's plenty of parking in the plaza. The inside has plenty of seating and also appreciate that it closes late. read more

A yummy snack during any time of the year. I got the coconut shaved ice and it was so good, the flavor came through and the texture was soft and melted perfectly. I love tapioca so I couldn't help myself when I saw it as a topping option. It was nice and chewy, I was basically consuming a coconut boba drink in a new form. The price was affordable and it's shareable with friends or someone special. The vibes are cute, there's many spots to sit at. The service was good, I felt that the cashier was attentive and overall was satisfied trying this place. read more

Great boba tea spot with 'artisanal shaved ice'... though google confirms that's not a word. You get the point. The boba tea prices make a bit more sense - the starting price is $3, although that slowly creeps up once you want it to actually look like boba tea. They offer three sizes, whereas most offer only one. It's often crowded, with ample seating room and simple seating outside, too. There's several themes going on with the decor, but again, you're here for the boba tea, right? Points off for the . It'd pretty gross, and honestly, even a simple wipe-down will go a long way. It shows a lack of cleanliness and makes you question if there's more to that. Anyway, take your boba tea somewhere to enjoy! Ok..gotta go enjoy mine! Simple Thai tea w. Boba - $3.88 (12oz.) read more
