Snowtime - Chandler

There’s a private fun room in the back filled with uplifting messages, and a community board where you can display mini Polaroids or business cards. I can't wait to come back! This restaurant is very popular, so be prepared for a wait on the long benches provided for patrons. Plus, there's a convenient doorway that leads directly into the sushi bar next door, so you don't have to step outside.

Overall, the ice was good, but the mango was slightly unripe, which affected the experience. It would be great if they could substitute it for a different, riper fruit. The service was excellent, and the dining area was clean with ample seating. It got quite busy around 8 PM.

Essentially, it’s just a bowl of finely shaved ice with various toppings, and each spoonful took me back to my childhood, playing in the snow and savoring its taste. Seriously, who doesn’t love snow? Just saying the word brings a smile to your face. When I think of snow, I picture winter wonderlands, snowball fights, and sledding down hills. Shouldn't food be that enjoyable too? The menu features playful names that will amuse your mind and whet your appetite, like Golden Dust, Tira-Miss-You, and Espres-Snow. My personal favorites among their Bingso options are Matcha-Love and Sweet Sunset. The toppings are fresh, and the ingredients are of high quality. At Snowtime, they refer to their Bingso as Snow, but whether you call it Snow, Bingso, or shaved ice, they’ll definitely understand. In addition to Bingso, Snowtime also offers a variety of drinks, including Espressos, Fresh Leaf Teas, Specialty Drinks, and Milk Teas. Plus, they serve soft serve ice cream, available in a cup or in a fun, crunchy fish-shaped cone. Don’t forget to incorporate the term “Bingso” into your culinary vocabulary. It’s sure to become a lifelong obsession, especially on those hot summer days when water feels too dull, and ice cream and frozen yogurt seem too ordinary (just kidding, I love those too!). Be sure to check out Snowtime at one of their three locations!

Although this place is better known for their sweet desserts, I'd like to point out that they also serve a high quality espresso with consistency. I wanted to wait and review them until I had triple-checked their consistency and I am pleasantlysurprised. Now counting my third visit, I have drank the double espresso, twice hot and once over ice. There is an appreciatedlevel of consistency in their flavor which I admire as a coffee enthusiast. It's got toasty, caramel butter notes, leaning onashen bark, but not too heavily. (hint: your taste buds will have their back blown out if you have the espresso servedaffogato-style over their ice cream) My friends always have the Nutella-filled fried waffle fish and the custard filled minifishes, which they rave about! Can't go wrong there! Would highly recommend as a sweet tooth type of place, or as statedearlier, a hidden coffee shop.

Really good little dessert place right here. Really liked the strawberries and cream signature dessert I got but next time I will try the drinks. They look amazing.
