We just had to come here for a sweet treat after having lunch. This is the only spot I know that has durian shaved snow. I love coming here. As you walk in you're immediately welcomed! The girl that made our shaved snow was very nice and hooked up our cups. Really bomb durian flavor. We ordered smalls but they are huge! Very clean spot with a good climate AC. Restrooms are clean as well. This is always my to go to spot for shaved snow read more

Really cute dessert shop in Alhambra! They're open late and there's seating inside and outside, so you can pull up with your friends and chat for a long time without feeling like you've overstayed your welcome. You order on a kiosk and pick up your dessert at the counter, but there's only one kiosk so if there's a long line you should probably figure out what you want to get before you get to the front. I got the pandan snow ice, which had a great pandan flavor without being too artificial. The portion is enormous for a small; 2-3 people could easily share it depending on your appetite. Lots of options for toppings, including fruit, jelly, candy, syrup. read more

Salju Dessert - Exterior -- Window Sign - Desserts Near Me - Alhambra, California

The small shaved ice is a perfect portion for two people to share. While the shaved ice is perfectly fluffy and flavorful, the only downside is the amount of toppings is very minimal. The amount of mango pieces were disappointing compared to the amount of mochi on our shaved ice. We also got the classic crepe which was full of Nutella, banana, and strawberry! It was tasty but the crepe was a bit too crunchy than what I'm used to in a crepe. Parking here is very challenging and the store gets pretty busy, but the desserts come out pretty fast. read more

I went to Salju Dessert yesterday with a friend and we enjoyed one each of the shaved ice and shared a crepe!! My goodness that shaved ice is soooo good. So soft, paired with condensed milk that is so creamy. What a dream dessert for a very hot summer day!!! Love love love I think we overdid it with the two shaved ice because at the end of it, we couldn't finish anymore because I also ordered the crepe at the last minute!! Haha No regrets as everything is made fresh and very tasty. Definitely got a sugar rush at the end of it. Service is quick, no one was in the front when we got there but we figured we were just going to order on the big screen. Ambiance is cool, there's seating areas everywhere. The seats are a little low for our liking as my friend who came with me is pretty tall. We just laughed it off and had a good time. Because even I couldn't believe we ordered 3 things to be shared with 2 people. Other than that, I'm glad I found this place. Definitely worth coming back!! read more

Been going here for years and I always come back to get it when I'm visiting from school! Such a cute little shop with the best shaved ice and toppings. Workers are always super quick and I love that they added a self-service kiosk. You get what you pay for because they stack your cup! My friends love the strawberry, viet coffee, or thai tea. My personal favorite is chocolate :) read more

SALJU HAS EXCELLENT SHAVED SNOW =============================== I am so glad Salju is still in business after all these years! It seems really popular as well. While I was there lots of people came in. I used to bring my son years ago. My selection today was a small matcha with strawberries on top. I had the choice of two items in addition to condensed milk which I love. Next time I'll pay extra for more condensed milk. It was absolutely delicious. Even though it's about twelve miles from my home I will make the trip. It's worth it. The service is great too. read more

My favorite shaved ice in the 626. i love how there are different sizes in shaved ice you can get compared some places that serve it in a huge bowl. This allows me to get the yummy durian flavor and my fiancé can get something else. it's a win win. My favorites are the durian with jackfruit and coconut jelly and the mango shaved ice with mochi. There is some much flavor in the nicely shaved ice. I am a frequent flyer here 10/10 read more

We found GOLD in Alhambra! Mother's Day lunch at a well known seafood restaurant, the family was searching for dessert to complete the special occasion. Of course we turned to Yelp! Enter Salju! Amazing place. Delicious dessert, super friendly service, and very cozy but comfortable dining area. Huge variety of desserts from drinks, to ice cream, crepes, and the best shaved ice. The service was a bit slow but not because of lack of hustle. This couple was hauling the best they can with the Mother's Day crowd. And it was worth the wait. Check out everyone's photos. If you're coming in a big crew like I did, order different items and share share share. I will definitely make an effort to return here especially with summer fast approaching. Clean solo bathroom and plenty of parking. read more

Came here with family after dinner for a little dessert stop and it ended up being one of the highlights of our night! The shop itself is small and cozy, but super cute and full of energy. Even though it was busy when we arrived, the line moved quickly and the staff kept everything running smoothly. The moment we walked in, the smell of fresh waffles and sweet ice cream filled the whole shop and instantly made us excited to order. Since we had all just eaten dinner, we figured we'd play it safe and order the small sizes... big mistake! Their "small" portions are HUGE and definitely big enough to share. We were honestly surprised when our desserts came out. Everything looked amazing and tasted even better -- fresh, warm, sweet, and perfectly satisfying without being overly heavy. The service was fast, the desserts were delicious, and the overall atmosphere made it such a fun family stop. We'll absolutely be coming back again, and next time we know to share! read more

I think this place is pretty good compared to what's around the area. The only downside is that there's only four-ish tables inside and I ended up just eating it in the parking lot.

Such a cute hidden spot on Valley! I stopped by late at night craving something to cool me off and ended up here for dessert. I've been here before, but ever since Salju went viral on TikTok, it's definitely gotten a lot busier compared to past years. That said, the quality is still great. I ordered a regular milk shaved ice with mango and mochi, plus condensed milk drizzled on top. The shaved ice itself and the toppings were delicious, but I'd probably skip the condensed milk next time since it made everything a bit too sweet for my taste. Portion sizes are generous. The small is easily enough to share between two people, and the medium is massive. There are tons of flavor options to choose from, and orders come out pretty quickly despite how busy it can get! read more

A classic dessert spot in the 626! I love coming here for their hefty portions and late night service, since most non-tea places in the area close around 10pm! Their mango flavor was delicious, not too artificial and the serving size is perfect for two people. Their mochi and condensed milk are by far my favorite toppings! The mochi is perfectly soft, not too dry, and a good balance to the sweetness of the ice. read more

small shaved ice ($8.5) - at first i was like why is this shaved ice almost $10 after tax but it is so worth it given the size, texture, flavor, and the fact that you can choose two toppings! - there is a great variety of toppings which I liked; i got the grass jelly and red bean, both of which were good quality ingredients - got it without any condensed milk bc it was already yummy by itself; light, refreshing, and a perfect guilt free sweet treat - the matcha was super strong and the shaved ice itself had a quirky texture; although it is shaved ice it has a texture leaning a bit towards gelato? A bit gooey when you pull it up; It doesn't melt quickly right in your mouth too rating: 4.7/5 - this might be on my top 2 shaved ice spot because its texture was just so unique; flavor was good and portion was massive - i really have nothing to complain about this spot and what's even better is the amount of seats and outlets in the store - has a restroom in the back - great spot to hang and chit chat - super welcoming and friendly service - service is extremely speedy IG: @nom.noms.only read more

This was my first time trying snow ice and I am so happy. There is a kiosk that you can order at. We got their medium black sesame snow ice because we both love black sesame. I was amazed to see how many different flavors they offer. For the medium snow ice, it comes with three toppings. Our dessert came out within 10 minutes. I like how this dessert didn't taste overly sweet. I really liked the real taro chunks that we ordered. It tasted so good! It was pretty busy when we went, but we still were able to grab a seat at a table. The rice balls also tasted so chewy and delicious. It is a small store with a few workers. Parking was a bit difficult but I found some parking at the residential streets nearby. They do have a tiny parking lot up front. I can't wait to go back and try their other flavors. read more

Wow freaking amazing!!! Had this spot bookmarked for a while. Walked in on a weekday evening and lots of people there. Ordered at a kiosk and got stuck trying to decide on the flavor. Settled on Thai tea with mochi, mango, and condensed milk. Holy moly I ordered a small and it was enough for two people. Smooth delicious ice and the Thai tea flavor was spot on. I will say it was one of those flavors you kindof get tired of by the end. Would love to try mango or coconut next time. Employees are hard at work busy behind the counter but I asked for help on choosing flavors and they were happy to assist. read more

We ordered a small shaved ice, but the portion was still super generous. We also got a crepe loaded with fillings. It was crispy, flavorful, and so delicious.

Salju is my FAVEEEE dessert place in the 626. I love how they take card now. It is so easy to order with their kiosk. I've been going here for years now. We usually get their medium size snow ice which includes three toppings + (any syrup) condensed milk. I've tried a lot of their flavors including their matcha, durian, honeydew, pandan, black sesame - all of their flavors are so good. The must topping you have to get is their rice balls. It is so chewy and has a very nice texture. They have a couple tables inside and outside where you can enjoy your dessert. I loveee salju so muchh. Their snow ice is so soft and fluffy. Parking is pretty limited especially in the evening when they are busy, but there is residential street parking as an option. I usually don't wait long at all and always end up finding a table. I definitely recommend this spot :-) read more

We enjoy coming to this spot for dessert when in town! So delicious!!! Black sesame dessert is my fave here. The kids got strawberry and pineapple. They begged to come here. Service is good.

Salju's shaved ice has a nice texture that is similar Hawaiian shave ice. It's good and doesn't disappoint. With multiple flavors and toppings (jackfruit!!), there is a combination for everyone. They also do crepe, which goes well with the shaved ice, but maybe a bit underwhelming? Small store with just enough seats where it's comfortable, but you'll be in close proximity to other patrons. Limited parking in a shared private lot. Service is more akin to machine ordering and someone will make it and call out your order once it's ready. Salju is a worth while visit. read more

It was SO hot this past weekend so we were craving shaved ice to cool down. My fiancé was looking for that specific fluffy texture, and even though it was late, I randomly found this spot on Yelp! The place was pretty crowded, which says a lot. It's small inside but has a mix of big and small tables. We were lucky enough to grab a seat while waiting for our order. The shaved ice was PERFECT. I got matcha and it was bold and strong , and my fiancé got mango and ube! He loved both. They also have tons of toppings to choose from, from fresh fruit to candies, and the portions are huge. The cashier was super friendly and patient while we struggled to pick flavors. Highly recommend if you're trying to beat the heat! read more

Finally tried out Salju! Last time I came with friends it was packed so we went elsewhere but I'm glad that I came back another time to try. I came for an afternoon snack and was able to find parking in their lot and a table inside to sit. I ordered the Lychee Snow with Strawberries and Mochi toppings. In addition to their normal register where you order with an employee, they have a kiosk off to the side. I placed my order through the kiosk which was easy. My snow dessert came out pretty quickly and for a small size, it was plenty in a serving! The snow was light and fluffy and fully of flavor. Salju is in a small plaza with some parking spaces to be shared with the other businesses. Finding parking in their lot during busy times will be difficult but there's also some street parking available. They several tables inside and a restroom for customers. Friendliness of service could be better but the employee was working the entire front (taking orders, making orders) all alone while someone else was taking care of the back. I'll be back when it's summer time and I come back to visit the 626! read more

Haven't been here since I was a kid but my friend really loves this place! Parking can be tricky during peak hours since it is a small lot that is shared with other businesses. There are around 6 tables inside and a 2 seater outside. There is a kiosk that you order from. I got the Thai tea shaved ice and t was delicious. Hit the spot for me that night. They have plenty of different flavors and topping to choose from. I'm glad my friend reintroduced this place to me! read more

I was a little skeptical about this place from a quick search for a dessert place. Turns out my gut was right. This was an excellent place to enjoy real shaved ice. It was soft fluffy and cold yet it melted in your mouth with each bite. I picked black sesame and taro with pudding since I was craving something creamy. But also enjoyed a fruity mango and lychee snow. They had so many great Asian flavors along with other expected flavors. The size of a small felt like a large and it was about $10 with the toppings! It does not get better than that! What an amazing place! I hope the quality and price stays the same. I would be there allll the time if I lived there. When I visit California again, I'm definitely making it a requirement to go again! read more

Checked this spot out with my partner after dinner nearby, and I was pretty intrigued by their unique style of dessert. There's a small free parking lot that's shared but street parking is also accessible. Plenty of tables inside and a few outside but most definitely this spot gets packed especially during the evening. You can either order on the self ordering kiosk or with the cashier. Ordering could get a bit hectic as there's just plentiful of options to choose for your dessert. Ultimately, we chose a medium snow to share, original milk snow flavor, 3 toppings of strawberries, mangoes, and mochi, along with condensed milk as the syrup. Order didn't take too long to come out, presentation is as you would expect, very cute and most definitely social media worthy. The toppings we chose mixed pretty well with the "snow." The toppings were all fresh but the only complaint we had was that we thought there should be a bit more toppings added for the amount of snow given. You would find yourself eating just the snow flakes since the toppings weren't sufficient. Despite that, very delicious and definitely recommended to drop Salju Dessert a visit. read more

Get the shaved ice! I really like that you can "build your own." There are so many snow flavors, syrups, and toppings to pick from. A medium size was more than enough for me and my partner to share. We had the original milk flavor with condensed milk, which is a combination I would highly recommend. Our mango and strawberry toppings were sweet and fresh. Although not the best shaved ice I've ever had, this is a decent dessert spot in Alhambra with ample seating that is open late. read more

Was craving some shaved ice after eating KBBQ and was in the area, so I came here with my brother for a quick dessert stop. When we entered, the employee happily greeted us. Interior is small but cute, and there are a couple of tables to sit at! We ordered on the self-kiosk and got a small Thai tea snow with mochi, taro pudding, and condensed milk. Our order came out quickly. My brother and I enjoyed it! The Thai tea flavor was prominent, and the sweetness level was perfect. I liked the toppings we got, especially the mochi, and thought it paired perfectly with the thai tea snow. I do think it is a bit pricey ($9.40 including tax), but you do get a decent portion of shaved ice. Overall, a nice, refreshing treat to try if you're in the area! read more

Tasty & refreshing shave ice with a wide variety of flavors, with a creamy yet slightly icy texture. Pick your flavor of shave ice and size, your toppings and flavor syrup and enjoy. We shared the lychee shave ice topped with coffee jelly, almond jelly & strawberries and drizzled with condensed milk. The medium size was huge and very shareable. So yummy that we kept eating although we were full. Our dining companions had the mango shave ice which tasted just like mango. Our other dining companions had the guava shave ice which tasted faintly of the fruit. Busy place with seating & tables. Prices are reasonable. read more
