    Super friendly and super delicious. I love supporting local businesses, especially when they are soooo good! My wife wanted me to relay that they have great vegan options too.

    We had a great first experience here! 1- Very Clean 2- Super friendly Service 3- Delicious Dessert I was pleasantly surprised at how yummy sno ice is! I love super frozen ice cream and this was the perfect balance of icy and soft! Such a cool concept! The service was also great! Fast and friendly! Don't let the location and size fool you! Support this local business!

    I'm currently in Austin, Texas visiting my sister and she's been raving about SnoMo for a while now so we went to try it out today. She's hyped it up so much that I was scared it wouldn't be as great as she made it seem. However, we walked in and the ambiance was great. It was clean and inviting. There was no line but we were there in the evening so it could be that it is busier in the afternoon. We ordered the chocolate sno with strawberry, mango and mochi. We also got the crazy tea. At first bite I was in heaven. It reminded me of something I have had before and it was absolutely delicious. The chocolate sno was light and fluffy, together with the fruits and mochi gave it incredible texture. The tea was great too! Lots of flavor. This spot is a definite place to bring any visitors looking for a new type of dessert to try. I'm going back to this spot before I go back home to Arizona!

    Mango shave ice with condensed milk, mango fruit, mochi and taro chunks. DELICIOUS.

    SnoMo is awesome! We visited from out of town, and spent about 5 days in the Austin area. This place was hands-down my favorite place for food (including BBQ, can you believe?). First off, the service was incredibly friendly. Our group had a bunch of questions about the menu the first time we went, and everything was explained patiently to us (by who I believe was the owner, or at least seemed to run the place). Unfortunately the first day, they were out of taro chunks, and I really wanted some. I settled for a mango shave ice with condensed milk, mochi, and red beans. The red beans were a bit too hard, or undercooked, for my liking, but the rest of it was DELICIOUS. I generally like my red bean softer, but I know they make most of their toppings in-house, and red bean can be tricky to please everyone with, since different people have different preferences. Thankfully, the owner / manager told us that she would make taro chunks the next day, so we returned and I got to try the taro chunks. Best decision of the trip - they were AWESOME. My ideal combination (after trying a few other friends' ices and toppings) was: mango shave ice with condensed milk, mochi, taro chunks, and almond jelly. The mango shave ice comes with a mango puree that isn't too sweet, and is perfectly complemented by the condensed milk. The mochi has just the right consistency of chewiness. The taro chunks are tender but firm, and still have a pleasantly distinct taro flavor to it, while not being too sweet. And the almond jelly simply tastes good - silky smooth and spot-on almond flavor. Honorable mention to the grass jelly, which is also made in-house, and has a soft consistency that I haven't really experienced elsewhere. It's a good setting for small or larger groups, and there's even an area in the back with couches to lounge in. The space is very clean, and the prices are reasonable (although some of the fruit toppings are pricier, understandably so). The owner / manager was very pleasant to talk to, and after she found out we were visiting from out of town, she gave us some recommendations for places to see and eat. If I lived in Austin, I would frequent this place... frequently. It's just great.

    OMGosh! OMGosh! OMGosh! Oh no! Oh no! Oh no! Lol! When I read in my community paper that Sno Mo (franchise of Snow Monster - Lamar) was opening so close to my home it was almost as good as winning the lottery (well...you know). I can't believe it took me an entire week of them opening their doors to make my first visit. I love boba tea and smoothies, but the legit IT here is the "Snow Ice!" So, some of you might be scratching your head wondering "what the heck is snow ice?" Well, it is not ice cream - although it is milk based (I think SM offers a soy version, but meh) and super creamy. It is definitely not a simple snow cone or Italian shaved ice. This special treat is traditionally a Taiwanese cold dessert (albeit varieties can be found in the Philippines, Singapore, and even Hawaii). If you've never had the pleasure of indulging in snow ice (or even if you have), it has a very unique texture and really pretty look. Maybe think super thin sliced layers of fluffy frozen cotton candy...only not as sweet and with several more flavors to choose from. Pick your base flavor (e.g., chocolate, thai tea, mango, etc.) and eat as is or choose from a plethora of toppings (e.g., fresh fruit, puddings, jellies, nuts, etc.). My personal favorite (go ahead, call it a staple) is Taro with Tapioca Boba. Part of the fun is creating "your" perfect bowl. Come on, be adventurous! Congrats to Lulu and Long in their already obvious success. Tips: *Don't forget to have them stamp your frequent flyer card for a free goodie. **Snow Ice doesn't refreeze well, so eat right away...or if you live close enough to get home before it starts melting it's A-OK...I'm REALLY in trouble right? Haha! Lbs! ***It appears peek hours are right when school lets up. I personally avoid the craziness, but that's just me. ****Enjoy! I really hope you do. :D

    Really cute and surprisingly spacious shaved ice spot! Perfect for a hot day with some sweet treats you can't miss. One of my favorite spots in the area!

    Just discovered my new favorite place within walking distance of work. The menu is big and very customizable (which is confusing) but the people that work there are so helpful. I LOVE it!

    Our first time here, very friendly and so delicious! My wife & I shared the taro Sno Ice, while the kids had their own cotton candy, gummy bowl. Will be back very soon.

    I didn't know what to order and the owner suggested a coffee with some mochi. I loved the snow cone he suggested. Will be back for more!

What was pretty annoying is given how busy they were, not all the staff were working. There were three people, but only two were helping customers. The third just stood behind the counter and just observed the chaos. And the people who were working, didn't seem to care very much. There is a sign stating if you were to guess a trivia question, you would get a free topping. The server who took my order, I asked her three times and she just ignored me. When I finally made it very explicit I was trying to guess the trivia question, she told me she didn't know what the answer was. I'm happy to pay for any toppings, but what is the point of having this "trivia challenge" if the workers don't even know the answer? When I received my cup of ice cream, it looked like it was mostly melted - if you look at the photo, you can see I took this at the shop as I received my order. I honestly had a few bites and ended up throwing it away. I did also purchase a pint of their Mexican Vanilla which was quite good. When you visit the website, the pictures look amazing. It's too bad what you get doesn't even remotely resemble what is in the photos online. It's just ice cream!

The food is consistently good, and most of the staff have always been incredibly sweet, welcoming, and helpful. That said, we had a really disappointing experience during our last visit that felt worth sharing. A younger female employee with a long dark ponytail brought our food over, I think she was a food runner - but she wasn't wearing the Vivel branded t shirt like the other employees. When my husband politely asked for ketchup, she visibly rolled her eyes before bringing it. When I then asked if I could please have a knife (I'm seven months pregnant, for context), she started to walk to get one, took two steps, turned back and said "you can go get it yourself". It felt unnecessarily rude and dismissive, especially given how quiet the café was at the time. We stayed for a while after and watched her standing by the counter organizing utensils, so it wasn't a matter of being too busy. We really like this place and will continue coming back, but this interaction stood out in a negative way and didn't reflect the level of service we've experienced before.

I also noticed that they're more cleaner than they were the last time I came in the nice comfortable chairs and booths was a nice flare. The taste was not too sugary and Tasted very much like ice cream more so yogurt of course I would recommend yogurt versus ice cream because of the sugar content. It's absolutely healthier than many other ice cream shops. The bathroom not so clean had stuff on the floor paper towels toilet paper it's a good thing I didn't step on toilet paper or otherwise it would look ridiculous on my shoe. I would recommend this place but for now I'm just going to leave it neutral for all of you too review and decide for yourself. So this is a reason I give as far as a 3 star.
