North Pole Snow Cream

Just tried this place tonight. The parking situation was extremely hectic but I somehow managed. I took my teenage cousins who were visiting from Chicago here because I heard they offered Dragons breath (an ice cream thing that tastes like fruit loops but has liquid nitrogen so the steam comes out of your mouth and nose).
The dragon’s breath was cool, the taste was nothing special but it was definitely a fun and different experience. We also got a mango flavored shaved snow which I really liked. It was very light but so delicious. It was so fluffy and airy and almost like a mix between frozen yogurt, italian ice and ice cream. We topped it with sour gummy worms. Interesting concept and fun place. I would come back.

I came to this place by recommendations from my friends. I tried out the Dragon Breathe Balls and they were really cool and were a fun experience. I also tried out cookies and cream snow cream and it was great. It was very fluffy and very tasty. Overall, I would totally come back again soon.

I’ve only been here once but this is my favorite shaved snow in the valley. There’s one closer to me called Sweet Snow but let’s not get into that…
The shaved snow here is incredibly light yet so flavorful. It’s airy yet creamy. Delicious. They offer a huge variety of flavors to choose from which made it hard for my girlfriend and me to pick. We were debating between either coffee or tiramisu and in the end we went with tiramisu. We chose the chocolate mint chips as our topping and then condensed milk drizzle.
The tiramisu had a pretty light flavor, in a good way. The coffee in it was the right balance which was nice since it didn’t overpower that creaminess found in a tiramisu flavor. It actually went pretty well with the chocolate mint chips, which there were a ton of! At first I thought it didn’t look like much, but as I continued to eat… boy was I wrong. The chocolate mint chips were also semi sweet which I thought was nice since it wouldn’t overpower the rest of the dessert either. Their was also ALOT of condensed milk. As we saw the guy drizzle the condensed milk, in our heads we were thinking of when he was going to stop. The only complaint I would have is that I wish the condensed milk wasn’t all on top.
The guy working that night was very friendly and helpful! He brought us samples to try and offered recommendations for flavors to pick. I felt a little bad for him since it seemed like a very slow night and he was the only worker there. Must get pretty boring :/​
Parking; There’s plenty of parking to be found though the plaza is a bit narrow. However, on a busier night I can see it being full and you might have to end up finding street parking.
I saw that they had something called an Affogato shaved snow. I will definitely be back to try that.

First time here. Was out late with my husband looking for ice cream and it was nice to find something open past 10! I tried the taro with cocoa chips, mochi and coconut with condensed milk and was very satisfied!!! My husband tried the green tea with mixed jelly, red beans and mochi with condensed milk. He wasn’t crazy about it but I think the red bean is just too sweet. The green tea itself was good, maybe just with not so many sweet toppings. There is one closer to me at the Burbank mall but for some reason I’ve never cared to try it. I definitely will go back now that I’ve had a little taste. I also noticed they had the dragon breath balls which I’m sure my boys will love!

Delicious and unique! Interesting concept and great flavor options. Would definitely choose as an alternative to froyo or ice cream.

Looking for a dessert that is light on your taste buds and light in calories but still satisfies that craving of yours? The North Pole is the place for you. With over 15 flavors of sweet snow and a texture and taste that’s phenomenal ! It’s a must try!

We were around the area and decided to get some dessert. I get really excited when a coffee or dessert place sell affogato (espresso + ice cream) two of my favorite things in one. However, I was disappointed shortly after. Using shave snow for affogato doesn’t work for me. I like the ice cream texture and the creaminess of it mixing with the expresso. In addition, it was super over priced. I paid almost $ 6 for it too which most places sell for 4 – 5 dollafs

This place is about as good as it gets for snow cream. The selection of flavors is great, and the flavors actually taste great too. There are a large number of toppings, they have a loyalty /​punch card, and their staff is always nice. Can’t recommend this place enough!

Finally a shaved snow place that isn’t all the way in Koreatown and that tastes authentic! Also it is cheaper than Ktown shaved snow :) ($ 6 for a medium sized cup with toppings)
They have a lot of delicious and interesting flavors to chose from: honeydew and mango stood out for me (both my favorite fruit flavors) and mango shaved snow is extremely hard to find so I am glad I found this spot.
Their toppings were very typical selections you’d find at froyo stores; my only critique and dissapointment was that they didn’t have a lot of asian flavored toppings like real black topioca boba and egg pudding. However those aren’t deal breakers as I will still be going for their really good fluffy shaved snow.

This is. probably one of the more interesting shaved desserts I’ve had in a while.
Affogato was my choice, topped with toppings that make no sense (… thanks Y.F.) like passionfruit boba and blueberries under a drizzle of condensed milk. Disregarding the toppings; the shaved snow itself had a really interesting texture of kind of being like cotton candy that melted in to cream in your mouth; it was really nice when paired with the Intelligentsia. It still delivers that creamy flavor but it’s not as rich or dense, which is nice when you don’t want to feel like a pig.
To me, shaved snow or ice is something I usually don’t care for, but I kind of find myself wanting to come back again.

cute décor

the guy was very friendly and great attitude
a bit odd that the menu was riddled with spelling errors

i got a lychee shaved ice and was a bit disappointed… maybe i just ordered the wrong thing? =\
they do it in the tw style known as «snow flurry» paper thin shaved ice instead of the traditional block…à la blockheads style
~*~
stopped by here w/​my team for dessert… it’s alright, but the execution could be better

A friend and I went here becuase we wanted ice cream and this place was close by. Boy, were we disappointed! We were faced with some sort of weird «ice cream» contraption resembling wet toilet paper. We both wanted to leave, but felt bad becuase the guy behind the counter was so nice. We ordered whatever their weird ice cream is and, naturally, we were disappointed.
The place itself is nice, with good décor and friendly service. Maybe I’ll try it again now that I know what I’m getting myself into, but I’m not looking forward to returning.

1^st time having this! A very nice helpful employee helped me right away. He explained what snow cream was and what are the popular flavors were. :) I went with the green tea flavor with mochi balls & drizzled it with condensed milk. I found it very light, fluffy & flavorful. My friends didn’t really enjoy it. They said they barely had any flavor and only tasted it when it started to melt. The flavors they got was coconut, strawberry & cheesecake. I would’ve given it 5 stars if I didn’t agree with them. The coconut barely tasted like coconut and I wish the 1^st topping was free at least! I would go back & try different mixes in the future. Heads up on the parking! It’s really packed & crowded. Better to park on the street if u can.

First time here and everything I tried was amazing! Staff is super friendly and nice place to
Socialize with friends w/​o the obnoxious atmosphere of a bar.

I have had the coconut and the almond flavors (nondairy). I have also had the snow burger. Everything is delish! It’s my favorite treat! The coffee selection is decent especially if you’re sick of Starb****.
The décor is super cute and the music is pretty jazzy. A great place for a first date if you’re keeping it sober. I would like to see expansion of the cookie selection.

Have you ever wondered how heaven might taste like?
Well, look no further… North Pole Snow Cream has got it… In 26 amazing flavors!
Let me take a step back (waaay back), you’re probably wondering, «What in the hell is this woman talking about? Heaven in 26 flavors?!» Well folks, North Pole serves a heavenly dessert called Snow. It’s somewhere between Shaved Ice and Ice Cream but so much better and less of that gluttonous guilt in the stomach…
Their array of flavors is a no fail for any sweet craving you and your friends may have. From exotics flavors, chocolates, fruits, and even non-​dairy options! Choosing one is just the first step! But don’t worry, they’ll let you sample a couple if your heart is too torn between multiple lovers.
My kryptonite: GREEN TEA SNOW.
I can’t resist topping it off with some Captain Crunch and Mochi for a blend of texture on each end of the spectrum; crunchy and soft! Most importantly, my cherry to this heavenly concoction; Condense Milk!
Don’t be confused… You see, dear friend, you get 2 free toppings and 1 free drizzle per order! These toppings and drizzles are extra treats to this magnificent dessert! They’ve got everything you can imagine from cereal to nuts to fruits to-​dare I say it– popping boba! Whatever your hearts desire they’ll provide it for yah!
All in all this place is a must try for everyone. I’ve had other Snow places but my heart is loyal to North Pole Snow Cream, they’ve got their texture and flavors down to the tee of consistency! The first time I had it I was hooked and I’m hooked for life! (No joke I went through a stamp card in less than a week…)
I don’t normally like sharing my favorite places because I’m selfish like that but I love North Pole too much to not give them the recognition they deserve.
Did I mention they ALSO serve intelligentsia Coffee! You could even get their Affogato to get the best of both worlds!
Anyway, stop reading and get on in North Pole and create your own heavenly snow concoction. You can thank me later!

This place is a fun dessert experience!
I stopped in with the lady after having dinner down the street, probably a little past 10 on a weekend night, and the staff that was working was very friendly and helpful.
They have LOTS of flavors to choose from; if a place has Taro anything, I’m hot on it, and so I proceeded with taro as the flavor of choice… not dissappointed!
They have a good assortments of toppings to choose from, and after we had created our masterpiece to share, the gent added a nice drizzle of condensed milk on the top (hell yeah!).
I’m all for trying out different types of desserts, and as one could expect, the texture of the snow cream makes the experience more unique.
It’s definitely worth a stop in if you’re in the area!

I tried the Horchata snow ice and it actually tasted like Horchata. Big plus. Any dessert with mochi I love. The yogurt boba was yogurt popping boba which was something new to try.
Snow ice comes with free drizzle and toppings are 50c each.

Wifi and dairy free ice cream!!! I am in love! a shot of espresso over almond snow cream with honey almonds and blueberries? HALLL YAAAS. Also there’s a snow burger that looks dank, but damn that gluten… One day… Until then I’ll be here enjoying the super lovely staff, digestible dessert, and googling.

Enjoy!

A true desert gem in the valley.
Maybe people haven’t discovered the deliciousness that is snow ice. Don’t get it confused for shaved ice! It has a fluffy consistency and tastes ten times better.
My favorite is green tea with condensed milk and Mochi.
The reason I gave this place five stars is cause 1) there aren’t many good snow ice desert stores in the valley 2) this is the few snow ice store that sells green tea.

The Horchata Snow is amazing! That is all you need to know!
To me it sounded weird, but Kris really wanted to try it, and guess what it was amazing! I had the strawberry one with condensed milk which was also delicious.
They also serve intelligensia coffee, which I had on my second visit (iced vanilla) and a frequent buyer stamp card.

LOVE this place!!! It’s amazing! It’s like eating flavored snow… literally!
This is not your typical ice cream or shaved ice joint. It’s a unique experience, that I like to experience whenever I’m in the area. I highly recommend checking this place out.
