    Mango shaved ice with condensed milk and strawberries
    Liz C.

    This place is so yummy in my tummy and makes me so so happy with their delicious and creamy ice desserts. Shaved ice is such a delight and I highly recommend trying your favorite flavor with some awesome toppings. Strawberry, mochi and condensed milk... you can never go wrong with those!

    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

    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!

    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.

    Brown Sugar milk tea and strawberry ice with almonds, strawberries, banana, whip cream and condensed milk drizzle
    McCall S.

    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!

    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.

    Sea salt Ice with banana, pudding and boba
    Evelyne T.

    We've only ever had the shaved ice, but we love it every time. We always go back because the ice is unbelievably smooth, there's never any worries about ice chunks and the texturetexture is just unbeatable. The toppings are solid and the employees are friendly.

    The Mountain
    Ardara H.

    Ordered the the Mountain - coffee, almond, condensed milk and chocolate topping. The Associate was extremely pleasant and well paced. She presented a smile and sparky disposition. The ambiance is laid back and chill. The kids enjoyed the claw machines as much as the treats.

    Pretty good desserts and drinks place! We tried their shaved ice and a coffee boba drink. Both were delicious and refreshing. They were busy, but our order came out pretty quickly. Service was fast and friendly!

    Service was great, shaved ice cream was delicious but I suggest you share, they're big portions. The place was cute and clean.

    Jasmine milk tea with lychee jelly
    Jennifer S.

    Good for the price you are paying for boba. Haven't seen a place this affordable in a while. Had the jasmine milk tea with lychee jelly and it tasted pretty good, but not the best I've had compared to Cali. But once again this is great value for the price you are paying.

    Taylor D.

    This place is so good! You get a lot for the cost and the orders come out quickly. We tried 3 different flavors and they were all tasty.

    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!

    Ask the Community - Nu Ice & Drinks

    Is Nu Ice offering dine in or is it take out only?

    Both.

    Hello, are there any vegan options for the ice dessert?

    We have a mango sorbet ice which is completely free of dairy. Also we have tons of teas and slushies which are vegan free!

    Can we regulate the ice and sugar?like request to put half sugar and half ice

    For almost all drinks you can do half sugar, regular sugar or extra sweet. Also half ice is an option avails le too!

    Are there any flavors other than mango sorbet that are dairy free?

    Currently mango sorbet is the only completely fairy free option. If it's a lactose concern however, all our shaved ice flavors are very light and since we started selling ice, we have not had anyone complain of any adverse reactions. Thank you and… 

    Does the nu ice contain any dairy? If so, are there any dairy free flavors?

    Our nu ice does contain a bit of dairy. We have not had any complaints of people reacting to our nu ice. We also have a mango sorbet flavor which contains zero dairy!

Consequently, Yelpers should not be surprised the…read moreparking is mostly in paid lots, just like in every major city in the US--Cocos does not deserve to lose a star for this as in some reviews that brought down their average. You may order online, in shop through a tablet, or with a person at the register. We used the register because we did not see the tablet and did not want to order ahead online. The ladies who helped us on our visit were very nice. You get a number and they call it when your made to order food is ready. We did not have to wait long. There was medium to low noisy ambiance. It was deserted when we arrived, but they have relatively loud background music. While we were eating it got pretty crowded. Mostly a lot of young people in the middle of the day on a Monday. The inside is small, seating both inside and outside are limited and close together. One lady was studying with her laptop, but there are no plugs. The breakfast sandwich is customizable. We got it on a croissant and with sausage. The eggs had a unique texture and the sandwich a unique flavor that we could not place, but both were very tasty. We also wanted a crepe, but we split the sandwich and it was sufficient. We also got a small mocha and a decaf, both were ok to good. We would definitely come back again and recommend that you give them a try for a crepe or sandwich. It is sad that a few Yelpers brought down their average to 3.8 stars due to petty and unjustified complaints such as having to pay for parking downtown. Other complaints are not the business' fault such as periodic homelessness--it is a downtown area in the US, other cities have far worse homelessness than Midtown Houston and we saw none on this visit. Additionally, complaints about takeout orders are mostly petty. Takeout is never as good as eating at the restaurant and so customers should adjust their expectations rather than dock the business stars. Nearly every recent Yelp review for this who ate at the restaurant gave 4-5 stars for food quality and customer service. Like most of the restaurants in this area it is a pretentious yuppy style place with specialized food. Although not usually our type of place (we like down to earth hole in the wall places with good food or taco truck type restaurants), Coco's is a solid 4 star restaurant for the type of place they are and they offered a 5 star experience on our visit. Again, recommend you give them a try if you are in the mood for crepes or sandwiches.
