This was my 5th visit, and it definitely won't be my last! Every time I come, I bring family and friends because it's just that good! The shaved mango ice is absolutely incredible. It reminds me of the shaved ice treats I enjoyed as a child- but so much better. Unlike traditional shaved ice that can be crunchy or icy, this one is unbelievably smooth and fluffy, practically melting in your mouth with every bite. The fresh mango flavor is sweet, refreshing, and perfectly balanced. Oh, they should add a banana foster and halo halo to their menu! Every visit brings back a little nostalgia while creating new memories with family and friends. If you haven't tried it yet, you're missing out! read more

I love their snow bowl esp the mango!! i love they have a side of syrup just yo add the sweetness bec i want it sweet lol. annoying part though is that we got there 940 pm and hostess said please make it to ho bec we close at 10. I hate eating bingsoo in a plastic container... and usually if it closes 10 then they still stay until last customer. Hence the 4 star.. oh make sure bring your own water!!!! read more

Snow Bowl - Shaved Ice Near Me - San Ramon, California

As much as I'd love to travel the world in search of authentic Korean bingsoo and spiritually get closer to BTS, TikTok distracted me with something else: the viral Dubai Chewy Cookie. The moment I saw it, I became completely determined to find one. I spent an embarrassing amount of time digging through Yelp, Google, and TikTok trying to track down where I could get my paws on this dessert. To my surprise, Snow Bowl was hiding the treasure. I ordered two for delivery, and from the first bite, I understood the hype. The marshmallow center was so gooey that I immediately lost all composure, but that was part of the experience. These were the closest thing to the authentic version I could find nearby. What set them apart is that some other places make theirs with a mochiko coating, while Snow Bowl's version had the marshmallow element I was actually looking for. The end result was everything I wanted: gooey, crunchy, rich, and sweet. Best of all, both of my parents liked them too, which officially confirmed that this was not just another one of my random TikTok dessert obsessions. Snow Bowl absolutely delivered on the viral dessert moment, and yes--I'd order them again. Send the next one over. read more

4++ Dessert cafe located in a busy strip mall that specializes in bingsoo or Korean style shave ice. The prices are reasonable and they pack in the toppings, using a lot of fresh fruit among other ingredients. I think this may be my first time ever going to a bingsoo spot, so when ordering I wanted to stick to a classic or at least what's popular. The service style is that you order from a screen where you get to customize your bowl and there are a few people there to help if needed. I got the mango bingsoo. Simple with just one fruit, although some of the other creations with lots more ingredients looked really good. The fruit was fresh and the bowl was pretty large. Just a great treat. I got to have a bite of some bingsoo topped with strawberries as well. Next time, I may opt to try and get one of the more wild creations (with lots of different toppings). Parking here is really easy as there is a really large parking lot at this shopping center. read more

The bingsoo is really good and the newest flavor (Golden Longan Pomelo Bingsoo) is my favorite. The service is good but they're pretty busy whenever I go. I feel that the price is pretty good for what you get. Definitely recommend. read more

I'm not much a fan of desserts and hate paying $$$ for mediocre desserts at places such as "Meet Fresh". I'm so glad we found SNOW BOWL in San Ramon!!! Yes, although you'll pay around $20 for a bowl of dessert - it's large and you can really share between 2 people. Snow Bowl's Bingsoo dessert (Bingsoo is a classic Korean dessert... it's finely shaved ice made from milk or sweetened condensed milk, so it's creamy rather than icy) is SO GOOD!! Their fresh fruit ingredients are fresh and their red beans are cooked just right. Their mochi has the perfect texture and is a must have, by the way. This Snow Bowl is very much a self service spot. (1) Walk in, (2) Order your dessert from the kiosk, (3) find your own table, (4) Clean it yourself if necessary, (4) Then they'll call a number and you pick up your tray(s) of dessert, (5) Bring it back to your table and enjoy!! .... and don't forget to (6) Bus your own table afterwards. Though not much of a service spot, I am game as the food comes first. And they have excellent desserts here! read more

We stopped by on a hot day for a refreshing treat, and it was my first time trying bingsoo. I went with the strawberry flavor. Ordering was easy through a tablet in this small shop, and our dessert came out in about five minutes. Flavor-wise, it was delicious and not overly sweet. I liked that the condensed milk was served on the side, so you can adjust the sweetness to your preference instead of it being pre-poured. It was also the perfect size for three people to share. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

I've been going to Snow Bowl when it was MandRo Teahouse and when it was only one store in Fremont so when my friends invited us for shaved ice I was pleasantly surprised it's a new branch in the Tri Valley area. Nothing more to talk about as it's my favorite place for shaved ice whenever I have a chance in the East Bay. They changed their name which is smart because it's the shaved ice that sets them apart not the tea. Even though it's using Bingsoo (which is Korean shaved ice) I'm fairly certain it's actually Chinese but who cares when it tastes good. The plaza is big but it's right next to the McDonald's if you have a hard time finding it. Seating is somewhat limited and I think for shaved ice it's better to eat there rather than taking it to go. Service is good enough even if it's usually just one person. Tip is optional which is good. You order through a kiosk. My favorite is the matcha or the original milk but mango is popular among kids. read more

Really can't recommend this place enough, the kids have been begging to go here so we decided to finally make the stop and we were not disappointed. When we walked into the restaurant there is a kiosk to order from, we ordered the strawberry bingsoo and the chocolate. They were both absolutely delicious! Not over powering sweetness, but just right! We ordered the regular size and even sharing we couldn't finish it was so much! Service was great they were quick to make our order and bring it out. The establishment is on the smaller side and pretty quiet, it's a great spot to stop and have a nice cold treat! We plan on visiting again to try some of their drinks! read more

FOOD: Fine, standard bingsoo so pretty good. Wish there were more items along with the bingsoo so it wasn't just shaved snow. I've had better bingsoo elsewhere such as Sul&Beans though. SERVICE: Self serve style with some tables. AMBIANCE: Just your typical San Ramon self serve place, no frills, thought it was just okay. Overall pretty good. You can split this with a couple of people (typically what you do) and pour the condensed milk over, honestly just typical bingsoo! Nothing too crazy here. read more

Came on a Saturday night. Arrived at around 8:30pm, with a lot of people already. My friend was here before me and she was able to get a table. Ordered both mango bingsoo and matcha red bean bingsoo plus a red bean smoothie. Order experience was good, food came out fast. It is a good hang out spot in a hot summer night read more

Amazing bingsoo spot in the East Bay! We came here on a weekend 1-2 hours before closing and it was packed! We ended up waiting over 30 minutes for our order, but it was understandable given how busy they were with only 3 people working. However, it's always well worth the wait. We always get the mango bingsoo with mochi on the side. The bingsoo is not-too-sweet, just how we like it. The mochi seems to be made in-store, which we love. We can't wait to try the other versions they have. read more

Up to snow good when I'm here... Yay! A new go to spot for bingsoo that isn't in the bay. I used to frequent Mandro Teahouse, but now there's a place a lot closer to those in the Dublin / Livermore area. Located in a busy plaza next to McDonald's, Snow Bowl has a good amount of parking available. Good amount of tables inside to enjoy your dessert. There's a kiosk to order and the menu options are also displayed physically in front behind the register. Decent amount of options at average price points. You have the option to choose a size regular ($12) or large ($14). Regular is perfect for 2 people and large is more feasible for groups of 4/5. Not the cheapest, but also not the most expensive I've had! They have the classics (strawberry, mango, injeolmi) and even drinks. Saw a few people order just their drinks, so I definitely have to try that out next time. My friend and I got their regular strawberry bingsoo, which came out to $14.40 due to tax. It came with a side of condensed milk and two pieces of mochi. You can also add more toppings at extra charges from $2-$3. Their shaved ice is creamy and flavorful. The strawberries are thinly sliced and I got to have one with each bite. A little gluttonous of me, but I wish there was more mochi or it was cut up more small to have a piece with each bite LOL. I've had my fair share of bingsoo at other places like Sul & Beans, but they just don't nail that sweet and milky shaved ice texture like they do here... Refreshing to see a good bingsoo spot open up nearby and hope to be back soon! Glad it's not just ice and fruit. read more

Snow Bowl - Strawberry Bingsoo (Regular Size) - Shaved Ice Near Me - San Ramon, California

Stopped by a bingsoo spot and decided to go all in. I got the mango bingsoo, my wife and son went with the strawberry, and my older son chose chocolate,so we basically covered the full dessert spectrum. First off,everything was really good. Light, fluffy shaved ice, tons of flavor, and not overly heavy like you'd expect. The mango was super refreshing, strawberry was a hit, and the chocolate one didn't stand a chance, it was gone in minutes. Now... I did add extra condensed milk (because why not live a little), which in hindsight may have been a bold decision considering my lactose intolerance. Let's just say... the bingsoo kept giving long after we left. Could be a coincidence, could be from something else--but there were some serious after-effects later that night. Would I get it again? Absolutely. Will I make the same condensed milk decision? Jury's still out. I'll keep you posted after round two. read more

Came to this tucked little spot to try their bingsu and it was good! You order on the kiosk and pick up your food on the counter when it's ready. The service was pretty fast. We got a mango and strawberry bingsu and both were so good! The texture of the ice was super soft and both the mango and strawberries were sweet. They also give you a side of condensed milk to pour which is my favorite part. We got a large bowl and was plenty enough to share between 2-3 people. Will definitely be coming back for the mango which was my favorite! read more

Walked in here post dinner and needless to say it hit the spot. Small place and possibly two people working so be ready to wait. We ordered a large mango bingsoo and easily was able to split that between our family of four. I liked that it wasn't overly sweet. We'll definitely be back to try the other flavors. Give it a try if you're in the area. read more

Snow Bowl is our go-to spot for what I call comfort dessert. Yes, all dessert is comfort food, but these are so massive and yummy that it puts us over the top. :-) Large enough to share between two, but small enough because it just melts in your mouth and keeps you wanting more. As you can see, we like the chocolate and mango ones. Very delicious! Get an extra condensed milk too. It's worth it! We usually find a place to sit, but there are occasions where the line is out the door. Just wait until it warms up outside and it'll be crowded. read more

It comes with an extra condensed milk on the side, so that's nice for adjusting the sweetness if needed. We got the regular size and it was plenty for 2 people. As for the inside, it was quite little empty when we came, and the employees were in the back most of the time. However, when they did come out to give us our food, they were really nice! read more

Hands down my favorite Snow Bowl location! The San Ramon shop consistently outperforms Newark. The bingsoo here is never dry or flavorless, they use the perfect amount of condensed milk and the freshest fruit. While you don't need extra toppings because the quality is so high, do yourself a favor and get the extra mochi. It's sooo good! read more

Snow Bowl - Mango Bingsoo - Shaved Ice Near Me - San Ramon, California

For the shave ice enthusiasts, you must put Snow Bowl on your list. Snow Bowl is known for their Korean Bingsoos(shave ice). You can order at the kiosk and then the server will bring your bingsoos to you. They have several types of bingsoos and you can customize it with toppings. We tried the Mango Bingsoo, the Strawberry Bingsoo, and the Injeolmi Bingsoo(combinatin of mochi, red bean). What was really impressive was the size of the thing. Each bowl of bingsoo can be comfortably shared by 2-3 people. They were generous with the fruit toppings too, so no one has fight over the delicious fresh fruit. There is a difference between Korean Bingsoos and Japanese shave ice. I think that the Korean Bingsoos use a lot more cream, so it felt heavier and could be overpowering, so I think in the future I will ask for less cream. read more

Perfect for a hot day. Some of the better snow I've had in a while, I like to mochi in the strawberry one. A smaller sized establishment and service took a while. I'd come back to try the mango. Restroom inside. Plenty of street parking. read more

Stopped by on a Saturday and it was pretty busy! We decided to try their injeolmi Bingsoo! So good but definitely shareable. I'd probably get a regular size if it was just for me and my partner. As for matcha, not too sure if I'd get it again. Matcha wasn't strong enough and was very watered down (milky). Other than that, yummy Bingsoo! read more

This bingsoo was actually so good & i was pleasantly surprised. I usually order mango bingsoos, but given that it's not mango season and the fruits aren't as tasty right now, I opted for strawberry. The strawberry was slickly thinned and there was strawberry syrup on top for extra strawberry flavor. The condensed milk given on the side was very generous and there's no need to order more. The ice itself was good quality and more on the milky side, which is what i like. overall, i would definitely come back here!! read more

Finally back in town and ofc i have to hit up the ogs. it's been about 2 years since i discovered snowbowl and they never disappoint. i tried out the new golden longan pomelo bingsoo which is a limited item. IT WAS SOOO GOOD. The longan were fresh and sweet, the pomelo were not sour like other places and the bits of lime was like the cherry on top. SO FRESH AND COOLING. That bingsoo was so gas that we got another one. We also tried out the new dubai chocolate chewy cookie, i understand the hype now. it was chewy and crunchy, they were packed with the pistachio thingy. the store has a cozy vibe to it. read more

This is a nice spot for dessert in the San Ramon area. I appreciate the fact that it gives me a different option from ice cream or froyo. Bingsoo is kind of like shaved ice, but made of milk, so it is creamy, light, and fluffy. There are different toppings you can choose from and drizzling the condensed milk over the top is great! Pretty low key spot- you order from the kiosk and then your order will come out. The bowls are big, so it is best to share. We really enjoyed the bingsoo here, we got the one with mango on top. Bonus points for a decent amount of seating, a great place to hang out and not feel rushed. read more

Snow Bowl - Mango bingsoo with mochi! - Shaved Ice Near Me - San Ramon, California

This is a pretty decent spot in San Ramon for a cold dessert. Their shaved ice has two sizes and they're around 15$ per bowl. The portions are big enough to share with others, and the variety of flavors and toppings on each is fun. Each come with a small cup of condensed milk to drizzle on top to your liking, which is nice for choosing your own sweetness. The toast was very mediocre, as it consisted of just toasted buttered bread with powder and almond slivers with a small bit of mochi pressed in. You order via kiosks when you walk in, and your order number gets called out to you at the counter for pick up. There is a good amount of seating on the inside, and the shop doesn't get too busy or noisy whenever I've been. These desserts are pretty fun to eat and experience with others. read more

Checked out Snow Bowl and grabbed the mango bingsu, so refreshing! You order at the kiosk. It's a small, cozy spot, but perfect for a sweet treat. The bingsu came with fluffy shaved ice, fresh mango chunks, and condensed milk. Light, fruity, and not overly sweet, perfect for a warm day. read more

Snow Bowl - Mango Bingsu - Shaved Ice Near Me - San Ramon, California

Another good bingsu dessert cafe! My husband and I shared a large mango bingsu. Truthfully, it was probably enough for 3 people but my husband is obsessed with bingsu and ate enough for two people. I'm not sure what the size difference between the regular and the large bowls are but I'm sure you could ask if you're not sure what size you should get. The mango bingsu was perfect. The mango was fresh and juicy. I'm not sure if the mango is always like this or it's seasonal, but it was so good. The side of condensed milk was a great addition. If you are a fan of bingsu (who isn't), Snow Bowl is great. Just a note, there was one woman making all the orders so if there are a ton of people ahead of you in line, it might take a little bit, but it's totally worth it. read more

Delicious!! One of the best "snow" bowls I've tried in the Bay Area. Fluffy, light, creamy, not too sweet... one of the desserts that you don't feel too guilty eating! Better than Mandro Teahouse in Newark/Milpitas which is a decent place yet spotty wait times.. this takes the spot!! The strawberry and mango ones were delicious. Perfect for those warm summer days! Order at the kiosk, and the staff brings out your items fairly quickly! Small number of seats, simple modern decor. We'll be back! read more

We came on a Friday, and it wasn't super busy. Never really ate around San Ramon area. I believe they had like 5 flavors but I might be wrong. But we got 4 flavors lol! Mango was definitely the best for me. They had other food items on the menu, but we just had kbbq and wanted dessert. I thought I would love the strawberry one, but it was okay. Staff was nice. A cute little cafe. Overall, it was good and I'd definitely come back if I ever crave for bingsu! read more

I randomly found this establishment while in San Ramon and thought it sounded pretty good. They have shaved ice bowls but the ice shavings are milk based. So you're getting a nice cool treat that has a subtle sweetness and is not as heavy as ice cream which is a perfect mix for the heat during the summer. The service was fast I ordered the Chocolate Bingsoo which is service with the shaved ice, brownies , choco syrup and condensed milk on the side to add sweetness is desired. I plan to visit again and try a different flavor. This spot seems to be popular amongst local residents and it became quite packed during my visit !

Best bingsoo! This place is a tiny hole in the wall in a strip mall, but don't let that fool you. Their bingsoo has the most silky smooth shaved ice and the mango was so sweet. The best part for me was the mochi. It's not your typical mochi bits that you find in your local froyo shops. Think of it as velvety 1 inch cubes of chewy pillows of goodness. read more

Came here because I really wanted some shaved ice/bingsoo. We ordered the mango bingsoo to share between two people. It's a pretty big bowl. The ice was soft and mango was pretty good but overall we didn't think it was amazing. The taste of it was mostly condensed milk and mangos. Not sure what it is, but we didn't think it was anything too special. Maybe it wasn't flavorful enough? You order on the tablet and pick it up when your order is called so it's kind of like a fast food bingsoo spot. read more
