Scroll down for a TLDR version. Went here at night for some late night sweets with a friend. She ordered a chocolate hazelnut cake and I ordered a nespresso coffee and a honey butter croissant. This is a rather grab and go place with a table located right by the entrance and one near the end of the shop so I don't have much to say about decor. Staff was friendly but it seemed like there was some confusion on the nespresso coffee. Behind the counter you could see various coffee pods but the staff said there was only one flavour they had so perhaps the coffee pods in the back were empty just for decoration? In addition, there was nothing on the menu that indicated the coffee was going to be a cold drink but it was served as an iced coffee. Regardless I know people don't come to this place for coffee so I understand that may not be their forté and I'm being slightly harsh. Alright, now time for the star of the show. If you're Chinese, you know the best compliment for dessert is "not too sweet" and that was exactly what this chocolate hazelnut cake was. The cake was fluffy, moist and had rich chocolate and hazelnut flavour. The best part was it actually had bits of hazelnuts in the cake which added a delightful texture and extra nuttiness. The croissant was good as well. It was flakey, buttery and I really liked the honey butter flavour. I would definitely come back again to try more cake and croissants from Snow Tea. TLDR: More of a grab a go place, flaky croissant, moist cake and rich chocolate flavour for the cake !! Would come back to try more goods.
Came here late Sunday evening to try the croissants. As to be expected, there wasn't much of a selection left so I got the earl grey, matcha, custard and coffee croissants. If you purchase 5 croissants, you get one free. I have a mixed review of the croissants. Overall, they were way too buttery. The butter flavour was just overwhelming. The fillings of the custard and matcha croissants were still decent. However the early grey croissants were a bit sour and I did not enjoy them. Overall, I was pretty disappointed. Great presentation for sure, but the flavours were off.
We came after having lunch in the same plaza. It's a small shop with several tables and cute decorations spread throughout. There's a display case with prepared desserts such as crepe cakes and regular cakes. It wasn't busy at all. Only a couple other customers came in the whole time we were there. My friend got a matcha beverage and I got to try some. It tasted like milk tea with a hint of matcha. She also mentioned that the tapioca pearls were undercooked.
Staff are super friendly and easy going. Had a variety of drinks and baked goods before. I cannot recommend the breads as they weren't the best in my opinion. The cakes and drinks however are a different story. The Mille crepes are really well done. The tiramisu and Durian version are tasty. They have other flavours as well but haven't had a chance to try them yet. It's your typical Tea and cake shop. Nice atmosphere and a great place to relax if you need a place to chat.
Went to snow time for dessert and it was delicious. I love sweet mango and the dessert was just that. They have a takeout option but I find these cold desserts are best consumed when fresh. I also tried the tiramisu one but it wasn't as good. It's more bitter and has a strong cocoa taste. They sold out of matcha but that sounds delicious. They have a few tables for dine in and the parking lot isn't the biggest but there's more spots behind the buildings.
The staff here is super nice. The decor and atmosphere is nice. The variety of baked goods was a nice selection compared to chatime and other bubble tea places. The bubble tea is selection was limited. And it was not clear about if you can upgrade the size or not. And when I asked the staff apparently only some drinks can be upgraded in size. I ordered a brulee bobo tea and a purple taro dirty. For drinks that cost $6.49 for a small I feel is very over priced as the flavour did not impress me. I probably wouldn't come back to this place unless they had lowered their price or had a promotion.
As a disclaimer, I'll start this review by mentioning that I came to Snow Tea today because I won a giveaway via Instagram that included four breads, four cakes, and four drinks (i.e. four sets, for myself and three friends). However, this review does reflect my honest opinion and is in no way biased because it was free. The three friends I brought with me were my family! I thought the four of us could enjoy this unique experience together as I've never really attended a "tasting" and this place was new to all of us. We walked into the shop around 12 pm, right when they opened. We were the first ones it seemed. The employee came to the register immediately, ready to take our order. Both of the employees working were quite soft-spoken, but despite knowing that I was here for "free food", they didn't treat me any differently. The staff were very patient and friendly, ensuring we had a great experience. We ended up ordering the following: BREAD - Spicy crawfish bread - Cranberry cheese bread - Original milkshake bread - Extreme chocolate bread (take-out) DRINKS - Extreme mixed fruits - Rose oolong cheese - Matcha Bobo tea - Oreo Bobo tea CAKES - Black sesame - Chocolate hazelnut (take-out) - Oreo crepe (take-out) - Strawberry cassida crepe (take-out) As mentioned, we had quite a few items for takeout as the four of us were unable to finish everything! They packed things up nicely for us without hesitation. Speaking about the bread first, I was pleasantly surprised! The spicy crayfish bread had quite a bit of heat to it and reminded me of curry beef buns. Not to mention, I love the presentation! The cranberry cheese bread was better than expected, loved the cream cheese! The original milk bread wasn't my all time favorite, but it was so soft since we got it freshly baked. All the drinks were delicious! The highlight was that we didn't ask for sugar adjustments, yet they were perfectly sweet, unlike other boba shops that add loads of sugars in their drinks. This meant that we could taste all the flavors of their tea bases. Lastly, the black sesame crepe cake, something I would return for! The flavor was oh-so-rich in black sesame while being not too sweet. Overall, Snow Tea serves up elevated food and drink items. Slightly on the pricier side but you do get what you pay for. They use fresh and premium ingredients, the shop is super aesthetic, and staff are very nice and knowledgeable about their products.
This place is amazing, love their crepe cakes especially the durian one. Delicious, not too sweet, really light and airy with layers of durian flesh/cream. Smell is not as pungent and overwhelming imo since I love durian. Their early grey crepe and salted caramel crepes are also pretty popular and are just as delicious.
Got the Hazelnut Chocolate cake. It had the right amount of sweetness and the cream was light. It had a good balance of hazelnut and chocolate flavour. It also had lots of small pieces of hazelnuts in the cream. Would definitely recommend this cake. The place is more of a grab since the store is small and there's only 2 small tables.
Slightly over priced drinks but it was good! Didn't know what to get but we needed to kill time so just picked a random drink. It wasn't too sweet and it just hit the spot. Interior was really cute and there's also a bakery there. While we were inside they were baking something and it smelt really really good. I didn't get a chance to try any bakery items tho :( I got the brown rice greentea + cheese foam. It was good!
Hi Yelpers! Back at it again in this area! So after an al you can eat Korean bbq... one must have a dessert. I remember of Snow Tea and their crepes. Hence, crepes it is for dessert! Purchased a "extreme black sesame crepe" and an "extreme purple taro crepe." First, let's tak about the taro flavoured crepe. It was deliciously light in flavour and soft in texture. Really melts in your mouth. Not too sweet. It is legit stacks of crepe with the "paste" or "some time of "cream" bonding each layer of crepe. The second choice was my personal favourite because I love black sesame flavour. The flavour was strong just the way I like it. It also melted in my mouth. Delicious as bleep. However, I did notice the base of this crepe to be a plain thin cake. Maybe the black sesame can't hold its own weight? Other than that... delicious! I will def come back again to try durian flavour. However, what boggles my mind is the price. I think it is over priced. Crepe is so easy to make in terms of ingredients and the process. If they could reassess the price the. That would be great as well. One whole crepe cake, if you wanted to by the whole thing, is apparently $80 approximately. Honey, I don't think it's worth it. I know another person that charges roughly the same price for a real authentic Italian cake which to me taste way better than their products. So it is hard to rationalize the price of $80+ for a whole crepe cake.

We were in the area and desperately looking for a dessert place where we could have a business meeting after lunch. We came to Snow tea because it was the only restaurant in the plaza that offered comfortable seating and encouraged you to sit and stay. We ordered a few drinks and some desserts to share. Everything was delicious and I highly recommend the fruit teas as they are very refreshing and not too sweet. The only thing is there was not a bathroom for customers to use and the food and drinks are very pricey read more

This new place opened up two weeks ago and the aesthetics caught my eye. Atmosphere: 5/5 Grey/black/gold colours dominated the small space with white/grey marble. It was gorgeous and Instagram-friendly. Service: 4/5 The baristas were attentive and patient in answering our questions, although every beverage I asked about was "amazing/really good" in their opinion which made me doubt if it was ACTUALLY good Beverage: 2/5 I went with the brûlée boba milk tea and was greatly disappointed at the SIZE of the drink. It was tiny for $6.49. Especially when you can get a large drink for $6 anywhere else in the plaza, the value was not good at all. The taste was just ok. Most of my drink was ice. Menu variety: 1/5 Not very many drinks. No new and exciting flavours. Fruit tea, milk teas, dirty milk teas (Eg Deerioca from The Alley). They have cardboard handles for the drinks with their logo on it which was pretty but a waste of material - especially since you can hold the cup like how it's suppose to be held. We returned our handles afterwards. Even though the café had a nice atmosphere, the drinks were so-so. You could find much better drinks for better value elsewhere in that plaza (Feng Cha, The Alley, Chatime etc... ) read more
I opted for the unsual - a cherry blossom tea with some kind of yogurt foam, was amazing! I liked. The flavor of the black sesame crepe cake but not sure if the top pieces hardened because we went a tad late (it was around 7 pm)? Service was also friendly; we will return to try other items for sure! read more
Wanted a few slices of cake, so we headed out and bought some. We have the rose lychee cake, hazelnut chocolate cake, salted caramel crepe cake, Oreo crepe cake and the durian crepe cake. I like the rose lychee cake the most. read more

Ive been to this place many times and always ordered Mango Dirty. That drink is the best Mango drink Ive ever tried but recently I tried *see photo* this Dragon Fruit drink and wooow it is awesome as well! I just love this place :) read more
I took a break from the tapioca, brown sugar and opted for their fruit tea. I got Extreme mixed fruits as suggested by the staff. She was friendly and cheerful. The tea is loaded with fruits and it's great for a fruit lover like me. Place is cozy with nice modern décor. Will be back for their Extreme mixed fruits and their cakes. read more
We stopped by during this Labour Day'19 for their grand opening, when they had a BOGO promotion. The shop had about 10 seating available for sit in, but what makes Snow Tea unique is that it also offers specialty bakery items. We saw the Lobster buns, and all of its pastry looks unique priced at ~$5+. We ordered the Dirty Mango with Milk Tea (not recommended) the combination just doesn't god well together. The Brown Sugar Fresh Milk Tea on the other hand was much better, it had a caramel taste but is definitely sweeter than other competitors. Overall, cute little shop, and is worth a visit. read more

New bubble tea joint that opened at the Midland and Finch Plaza. They serve a variety of drinks and pastries. We tried their Pandan Coconut Crepe Cake and it was so delicious. The cake was light, airy and not too sweet. We also tried their Mango Dirty which was a little disappointing. The mango didn't mix well with the milk tea. Great service and cute interior! read more

This place has a really nice aesthetic, and it feels really fancy. I would recommend the salted caramel crepe cake, it was really good. The ube crepe cake was okay but it tasted too starchy/grainy. read more

Nice decor and unique crepe flavours (ie., pandan, ube, sesame...etc). I have only tried the "mango dirty" and "taro dirty"(taro milk) and I must say the taro one was better. You can definitely taste the fresh taro inside and the sweetness level was perfect for me. It is actually my favourite place for taro milk (better than the taro one at Coco). The mango one was alright, I have had better. Will try the crepes and baked goods next time! Service was friendly although the drinks are on the pricier end ($6.99 for a small size). Also I think that the packaging is a little wasteful, as it came with the paper handle that we returned since we had our drinks there. Overall, I will return for the taro milk and the nice seating environment. read more

Absolute best cheese foam. It's not too thick nor too sweet. They also have a small bakery inside where one of their bread pastries is amazing. For cheese lovers the bread is a perfect balance of soft fluffy bread and not overly sweet nor too creamy cheese filling. It's great. read more

First time trying the cake from this store, the chocolate hazelnut wasn't as good as expected. The rest are okay. My favorite one would be durian crepe cake or the lychee one. read more

First time trying their crepe cakes. All the cakes looked good but settled for earl grey and salted caramel. Earl grey was ok, creamy and had the subtle tea taste but I liked the salted caramel better - will definitely order again. read more

I've seen this place opened for a while now but I guess they were having their official grand opening this past weekend! To celebrate this, they had their Bobo bubble tea for only $1 each. This is usually priced at $6.49+ tax. I had no idea there was this promotion but since I made it to their first 100 customers, I had to order this! I've never been a milk tea drinker but I gotta say, this was pretty good! Sugar level was not adjusted but it was perfect - not too sweet! Tapioca size was smaller than usual but I liked it! I would come back to try other drinks! read more

Very disappointed, never go back again. I asked for 2 large size bubble tea with no ice. The cashier said they don have large size. WTF, it's not the first time came to the store. When I said you have a promotion two large size bubble tea, 2nd half price. Then she said oh you wanna the special. But you have to have the ice in your tea. We don't do no ice. The customer service was TERRIBLE. I will tell all my friends DO NOT GO THERE ANYMORE. read more
