    It is mostly for people with children, no a real adult place if you have kids or like shaved ice this is for you

    Snow Tea Caffe is a hidden gem! I've been coming here for a few years for their Taiwanese cuisine…read more I believe this is a family owned restaurant. We usually order at the counter and the staff are friendly and very accommodating. This place is cute and cozy with modern decor and a fun mural. It's clean and offers a chill vibe, and located near UCF. It offers a variety of boba drinks and teas. There's a small food menu but I've enjoyed all the items I've ordered so far. My go-to is the beef noodle soup which is flavorful and simple, yet so delicious. The beef is super tender and the chopped mustard greens elevates the taste. I always get a side of the hot chili peppers which is added goodness! I'm a soup gal so this place is where I like to get my soup fix when the weather gets cold. Another favorite is the fried chicken thighs appetizer. It's crunchy and well seasoned, not greasy. You get a nice portion. I'm also a big fan of the mixed fruit tea with crystal boba. You get your choice of sweetness level. The fresh cut fruits inside is also a nice touch. Every time I stop in I'll see a steady flow of Asian customers, so you know this has got to be authentic. Recently they started offering specials on different days of the week. Hopefully it will bring in more customers. It's worth the visit if you want some Taiwanese comfort food. There's ample parking since it's in a strip mall area.

    It's been a while since I've been here, and their food is still awesome. Authentic Taiwanese food…read more The shaved ice is flavorful, definitely recommend the matcha. And it's nice and peaceful for dine-in. My mother loves their beef noodle soup. She says it tastes like what she used to get when she was in Taiwan, but better. I highly recommend the calamari if you're looking for a small appetizer. But if you're not a seafood person, you can never go wrong with their popcorn chicken.

    Incredible!!! We tried Surfin Turtle for the first time and it did not disappoint…read more I had the sugar-free vanilla (because I'm pretending to be responsible), my husband went with peanut butter banana coffee (which he immediately declared "the best decision I've made all week"), our daughter chose the bright blue cookies ice cream that looked like it came straight out of a cartoon, and our son ordered the TikTok Dr Pepper with Dippin' Dots drink... which appears to be engineered specifically to make kids bounce off the walls. There's plenty of outdoor seating, and the turtle habitat is awesome. We spent half the time watching the turtles and the other half trying to decide whose treat was the best. Ordering is super easy with the QR code, and they even have a rewards program, which is great because we clearly plan to become regulars. We're new to Satellite Beach, and finding this place feels like discovering a local treasure. Our only problem now is figuring out how often we can come here before it becomes a personality trait. We'll definitely be back!

We had the snickerdoodle and brown sugar iced coffees (in cute pop top bottles), both were totally fine - nothing spectacular, but appreciated the various flavor combinations and ability to add cold foam or mix it up with non-dairy milk options. Didn't try the ice cream this visit, but folks looked happy with their orders. Service took a little longer than expected with only 3 people ahead of us, but the team was friendly.

    We had such a great experience at Ice & Bites Café! Three things really stood out right away…read more First, the ice cream flavors were amazing. You can tell the quality is there -- super flavorful, creamy, and not overly artificial tasting. Every bite was rich and satisfying, and honestly I couldn't even wait to take a proper picture before digging in. Second, the staff were incredibly kind and welcoming. They clearly love what they do. They took their time recommending flavors, let us try different samples, and made the whole experience feel fun instead of rushed. That level of friendliness really makes a place memorable. And lastly, I LOVED that they had games available to play. Such a cute and thoughtful touch! It made the visit feel more like a cozy hangout than just a quick dessert stop. Sitting there, playing games, and enjoying good ice cream was such a vibe. Overall, such a sweet little spot with great energy, great service, and delicious ice cream. Definitely a place I'd come back to again and again.

    Went here again for dessert after a nice dinner at Lazy Moon. I had to do the taro ice cream again,…read morebut this time medium size (a little under 7 dollars). I chose not to have any toppings. My colleagues and I sat in a table while I waited for my ice cream. It came a couple minutes later, and it was just as good as the last time I came. So sweet and creamy. It tasted natural and homemade, with the amazing taro flavor. There were also 3 nice scoops of the ice cream, so I insisted my colleagues to take a bite as well. It was sinfully good! The service was still good and the atmosphere looked kid friendly with board games available. I also saw a board where customers could write messages, but didn't see a marker available. I still really enjoy the ice cream at Ice & Bites, and really need to try different flavors and their teas as well. This was an amazing end to a great dinner with my awesome colleagues. Overall: A

    It was an OK dessert experience I guess. I can see the appeal for some people, but it's probably…read morejust not for me. Interesting menu and lots of options that *sound* good though. Overall, I did find it expensive for what you get, and I feel there is some criticism here they need to accept: #1 - What we were served looked nothing like the pictures from the first 2 years they were open, in which the desserts are about 60% flavored ice and 40% toppings. What we got was about 97% shaved ice and 3% toppings. (Also, no whipped cream on the polar affogato). #2 - There is a teeny tiny sign on the back wall that you can barely read that states that all orders have a 10% gratuity automatically included. This sign is NOT visible from the cash register, and is 8 get away in 14-16 pt font. Clearly they don't want customers to see it.. Additionally, their POS system is asking you to add gratuity, even though they're already secretly auto-charging you 10% gratuity. That is flat-out disgusting. There was very little labor/time involved. So on top of the high prices, with greatly reduced toppings, they are encouraging people to pay upwards of 30% gratuity? For $8 flavored ice ready in 3 minutes? To make it worse, I'm sure the people working were the owners. Proprietors shouldnt be accepting or soliciting ANY tips at all.

    Stopped by after being at the springs today and this was the perfect cold treat! It's not just…read moreshaved ice like a snow cone but a shaved block of ice cream. It has a light fluffy texture and is easier and lighter to eat! We tried a 4 mini sampler plate for $19 and were not disappointed. We got Twix, Mexican candy, strawberry cheesecake, and snow thaigher( thai tea). Our favorites were the Mexican candy and strawberry shortcake, we found the fruit flavors to be the most flavorful! The service was from the owners I believe, who were very kind and checked in on us to make sure we liked everything. We will be returning, possibly every time we go the river!

    Snow Hut is a cute little snow cone shack tucked away in the parking lot between Home Depot and…read moreRoss. With its fun tiki-hut vibe, it's the perfect stop when you're looking for a cool treat on a hot Florida day. The star of the show is definitely the snow cones. They offer a huge variety of flavors, and the ice is freshly shaved, which gives it that light, fluffy texture that makes a great snow cone. The flavors were delicious, and it's easy to see why this place is a local favorite. We also tried the Old Bay fries. Unfortunately, they didn't quite live up to the snow cones. They seemed more like air-fried fries, and we were handed the seasoning to apply ourselves rather than having the fries seasoned and prepared when served. It wasn't necessarily bad, just not what I was expecting. That said, the snow cones alone are worth the visit. If you're craving something cold and refreshing, Snow Hut is definitely a spot I'd recommend.

    I really enjoyed my hot fudge sundae ($4.75). The ice cream was very good and the hot fudge was…read morehot, syrupy, and tasty. The young employee who waited on me was polite and friendly. Everything is outside - ordering and eating. I ate at one of their picnic tables and enjoyed the nice breeze and warm temperatures. Besides ice cream they also have Italian ice, snow balls, pretzels, fries, and hotdogs (to name a few). They're only open Tuesday through Sunday, 2pm-6pm, and closed on Mondays. A great place to enjoy a refreshing treat! Check them out!
