Sno-Crave Teahouse

There is boba drinks spectacular on great levels served in gourd glasses with a side of their delicious tiramisu. But I suggest to try some of their macaroons and let me know! I am particularly a fan of macaroons but I can’t put my finger on this kind.

The crepes and the tea are good. I’m just not a huge fan of their honey toast. The only thing is that their milk teas are a little on the pricey side.
Service is pretty slow and the servers are sort of prissy.
Honestly, I would only come back if I really feenin’ for a crêpe.

I just wanted to say, thank you Sno-​Crave. For your patience, drinks, and food.
My friends and I come here all the time and we can be obnoxiously loud and in their way at times because our table is just sticking out into their walkway. They never tell us to quiet down whenever we are shouting or laughing too loud. And they NEVER tell us we have leave for when we have been sitting there for an entire movie. I sincerely thank you.
DRINKS $: You can adjust their sweetness and ice levels to your liking. Their milk tea isn’t super strong tea-​wise which is disappointing but it isn’t as watered down like T4 off Fremont Blvd. It’s good enough to a point where I don’t mind coming back to this location. I tend to like their hot milk teas better than their iced drinks but I’m always burning my tongue with those hot drinks, so I stick to the cold ones. My favorite are their flower series like Rose or Lavender. It’s super refreshing.
SNOW $: Delicious and light. I recommend green tea, mango, and strawberry snow in that order. Always get the condense milk on the side though! Otherwise it will just all be on the top and all of it will be devoured before you even get half way done. My go to topping for snow will always be their mochi. Omnomnom.
TOAST $$: I think it’s meant to be shared but I always get one for myself. It’s huuuuge with ice cream, toast (duh), whip cream, chocolate, and fruits. Jenga toast is pretty good and probably one of my favorites because it’s the easiest to eat! I’m always too lazy to cut my toast into bite size pieces written I order the brick toasts. The toast have like a honey glaze on them I believe so it can be on the sweeter side.
CREPE $: I always get the banana crêpe! Because banana and Nutella is like a match made in heaven. I don’t like their whip cream in their crepes though. Luckily you have the option to opt out of it! You also get a choice of ice cream from, vanilla, chocolate, mango, green tea, and strawberry? As for their mango crepes, get them for when mangos are in season. Because I got them during the winter one time and the mangos were sour as lemons.

It was packed. The wait was like 10 – 15 minutes (well that’s cos there was only like 4 of us). So anyways the wait wasn’t fun. The food was good, I got one of the toast boxes. I highly recommend you get those, yet it took 20 minutes just to get it.
So yee yee.

I came here to get dessert since I was really craving it and had been wanting to check out this place.
Watch out for crazy b*tches in the parking lot! This lady driving a huge suv scraped the entire side of her car on a pepsi 16 wheeler, and almost hit us as well. She was laughing the entire time too… not quite sure what her problem was…
We got seated right away since no one was getting dessert at noon on a thursday, I ordered the strawberry snow and my bf got the mixed fruit crêpe. The strawberry snow came out super quickly, less than 10 minutes! I was so surprised, I feel as if I usually wait like 15 minutes for restaurants to make snows but they made it super quickly here. I don’t like how they nickel and dime you for every topping, instead of having it already come with toppings. The snow is completely plain unless you choose to add toppings.
I would prefer a smaller snow with the toppings already included, instead of a massive one without any toppings. The mixed fruit crêpe was huge, I mean it was massive, it had banana, mango, kiwi, and strawberries, nutella, whipped cream, and a scoop of ice cream your choice. This was very crispy on the outside and nice and soft on the inside.
I will come back for drinks and to get another crêpe.

I love this location 20x better than the Fremont location! But this location is compact comparing to Fremonts… So i don’t recommend bringing large groups of people.
Ordered 8 drinks to-​go: 4 Thai milk tea, Kumquat tea, Matcha Green Tea, and 2 regular milk tea w/​boba
BOBA: CHEWY, SWEET AND PLEASURABLE
Drinks: Kumquat tea = SOUR, but it’s still delicious.
Deserts: 6 different flavored French Macaroons and i truthfully don’t remember each flavor!
Service: Fast, easy, and exceptional. 8 different drinks ordered to-​go and made in less than 7 minutes, impressive!
French Macaroons: I love French Macaroons! But I’m very picky when it comes to French Macaroons. There is always this certain look i always look for whenever I try French Macaroons: Texture, «feet» and a soft shell. Their french macaroons were not my favorite. hollow and had a slight crunch. However, the flavor of the French Macaroon is exceptional, similar tastes to Costcos.

Pretty solid boba, shaved ice, and brick toast. Exceptional service, too.
This is our second time here. Between three of us, we got a passion fruit smoothie with boba and a dark roast coffee snow with condensed milk and mochi toppings.
The passion fruit smoothie had seeds in it, which caught us a little off guard since we’re used to the artificial flavoring of TapEx and the like.
The coffee snow had a very smooth, non-​icy texture to it. I usually get fruit flavored shaved ice or boba drinks, but this was still good. A little on the sweeter side, but good.
The brick toast had the nice crunchy, caramelized outside with a soft, chewy inside.
The woman working the front counter came outside immediately to wipe down our table. She also came to check in with us to let us know that the brick toast takes about 10 – 15 minutes to prepare, but since we already got our other items (we were hoping to eat the toast with the coffee snow), she asked the kitchen to rush it.
Also to note: serving sizes are pretty large!
Good establishment. :)

OMG! This place is super wonderful. The outside sign is misleading — because this place feels like a fancy bubble tea and dessert stop.
I really like this spot because there is pretty good service. The chairs are comfy. There are tons of menu options. The space is clean. The snow is super yummy and creamy. I also ordered a large smoothie. IT WAS HUGE. Plan on chillin at this spot for a minute because the atmosphere is inviting that you will want to stay and enjoy. I want to try some of the desserts, that will have to wait for next time.
FYI this place is popular because I noticed a list for names to be placed when the line is super long. I have be lucky enough to not wait since it was during the weekday.
P. S. Do not mention the Unilocal coupon when checking in, it is expired.

So this is my first time here, and I would have to say it’s pretty good. I ordered the mango milk tea with boba and the strawberry lover which is a bunch of icecream on top of sweet toast. I was expecting the middle to be filled with icecream because the toast is like a bowl. Instead it was filled with more toast which was not my favorite. I wish it had more icecream. The mango milk tea was really good tho ! The boba was so soft and was a great contrast to the coldness of the milk tea. I will surely come back and try the snow next time.

I love this place for their drinks and ice cream treats. They have this one dish called black humor. It’s so yummy. Definitely something you have to share among 4 people or so. I come back to this spot every time I’m in town.

This was a great place to go to after drinking and eating at bar bay grill.
We really like this spot because they have great service! Came about 10 mins before closing time and they were still able to accommodate us.
As we got our tea, the staff started to clean around us. They didn’t even ask us to leave which I thought was nice of them to do.
We ordered the Hot Earl Grey milk tea and almond milk tea. Both were delicious! A nice place to sober out after all that grapefruit beer from bar bay. Haha!
I have yet to try to all their other items!
Thanks for the great service and milk tea! We will definitely be coming back. :)

Sno-​Crave Teahouse. Home of late night non-​alcoholic shenanigans. The plus is that it’s open late enough to even offer shenanigans. The negative is that everyone else is seeking out these same shenanigans so sometimes you’ve gotta wait hella long for these shenanigans. Say shenanigans one more time.
Really, the first thing to pop into my mind when I think of this place is diabetes. Like, everything here just takes me one step closer to the edge, and I’m about to break my liver. This is one of those few spots where I absolutely have to make sure I tell them to use less sugar in my drink. Otherwise, their milk tea turns into the kinda stuff only a hummingbird would enjoy. Same goes for their actual desserts, although there’s really no way of avoiding the sugar in those. My go to is usually the green tea shaved ice with the red beans. It’s like the one thing on their dessert menu that doesn’t seem like it’d give my liver a heart attack.
The place itself is okay. I like that they’ve always got new-​ish movies playing on the TV’s on the wall. I don’t like the high schoolers that seem to condense and take over seating for hours and hours not doing anything but existing. Really that’s the main negative here. You know exactly the type. The «huge group of teenagers that sits in the corner taking up 25% of the café with only one person ordering a drink and being as loud as possible» type. Not much me, you, or the café can do about it but hey, at least you now know what to expect in terms of atmosphere.
Me being me, I normally just want boba so I never come here, especially with some of the other options within walking distance of Sno-​Crave. But I seem to end up here more often than not. Mostly because of those good ol late night shenanigans. Whoops I said it, don’t pistol whip me!

Oooo it is poppin’ here I swear. I usually come here at night, I’ve been Friday night and then I’ve been Saturday night and both nights required a bit of waiting for a table.
Sno Crave is inside a plaza next to Safeway so there’s no need to worry about parking.
The inside of this place is a pretty good size. They have a bunch of tables and chairs which is easy for big parties to come and take over so good luck if you come at night. They do have some chairs and tables outside as well with a heating lamp, but it’s not much and with how cold it’s been. you should probably get a table inside instead. Bathroom is located all the way to the back.
Their menu for desserts isn’t actually that extensive. If anything, it’s their drink options that take over 80% of the menu. Also, they don’t really give explanations to what the items are so definitely ask and be careful! My friend got a mixed fruit tea and she even asked if there was pineapples in it and the waitress said «I don’t think so…» then low and behold– the drink got pineapples. My friend wanted to share it with another friend but she’s allergic to pineapples so that option flew out the door. BE CAREFUL.
I’ve gotten their original milk snow ice with condensed milk (which taste like a white rabbit candy) and their chocolate banana honey toast and both were good, but I would stick with the snow ice if I had to pick. The honey toast ended up being way too much sweetness.
Overall, come back? Possibly. It’s far from me so I probably won’t be back unless someone drives. Also, TRAIN YOUR SERVERS PLEASE. «I don’t think so» is not a satisfying response especially when it comes down to someone’s food allergies!

Americanized, super-​size-​me-​sized milk teas, toast boxes, and shaved ice. Everything is delivered in-​your-​face and very matter-​of-​fact. Sno-​crave knows what it is (franchised sweet desserts at standard prices) and isn’t shy about it.

This place is awesome! I wish there was another location in San Jose!
The desserts here are just huge, so they can definitely be shared among 2 people. We ordered a strawberry nutella crêpe with chocolate ice cream and it was delicious! The crêpe was crispy on the outside. The strawberries tasted fresh. There was a huge scoop of chocolate ice cream, too.
This place gets pretty popular, so make sure to put your name down on the clipboard hanging outside the door. Its great how there are cards and board games for customers to enjoy. This is just a fun place overall. I’d highly recommend it.

The desserts here are SO GOOD! I came here in a group of 7 and we shared 2 huge desserts (and honestly, I think I could’ve eaten a lot more). My friend started by ordering a regular Rose Milk Tea, and it was HUGE so we all took a few sips. I was expecting it to taste like milk tea with a hint of rose, but it was the complete opposite (super super super rosy!). The toast desserts we ordered was expected to take around 20 minutes to make, so we played Jenga at our table while we waited.
GOLDEN BRICK ($ 12.95): LOVE LOVE LOVE! It’s a pile of Jenga-​shaped toast topped with vanilla ice cream and covered in melted marshmallow (and a few berries for decoration). Everything about this dessert was amazing! The ice cream is super creamy and pulls away like taffy. The white toast pieces were crunchy and really delicious, and eating it with the marshmallow AND ice cream was so heavenly. I definitely recommend this dessert!
MACARONS PARTY ($ 11.95): Yummy, very cute, but not as amazing as Golden Brick. There’s more variety to this toast box, since it’s a box of toast (literally, there are cubes of toast inside) topped with 3 scoops of ice cream (vanilla, strawberry, orange), 3 macarons (hazlenut, lemon, rasberry), chocolate pirouettes, marshmallows, a little whipped cream, and some strawberry icing on the edges. I personally don’t like certain flavors (strawberry) but it was really easy to avoid that side of the toast. And for some reason I kept tasting a subtle rose flavor (which was good)…Towards the end, the bread started just tasting like white toast since we ate all the ice cream first. But this set was good too.
Our total for the 2 special toasts and milk tea was around $ 36 (which includes tax and tip). That’s only ~$ 5 per person for a happy, filling dessert. It’s a good thing that Sno-​Crave is right next to the BART station and in a nice plaza because I am DEFINITELY coming back for more!

I am giving this place 5 stars based solely on their hot green milk tea. Now THIS is really the best green milk tea I’ve ever had (surpassed my previous favorite at 85 Degrees). The tea comes in a large pot. The flavor and the sweetness is just right. Very fragrant, strong hint of green tea, mixed perfectly with the right amount of milk and sugar. I don’t know what their secret is, but it is the best! None of that extra sugary or artificial taste. Reasonable price too; a large pot is only $ 6.
Be sure to come early (or during the day), as this place gets crowded at night and there’s a wait. The couple of times I’ve been here, the service has been very nice.
I have not eaten any desserts here, but they look huge.

I stopped getting the coffee milk tea after the second time because I couldn’t sleep ALL night after! BOTH TIMES! I wouldn’t recommend getting it at night if you want to sleep.
Tonight, I decided to try the hot Earl gray milk tea. I did not like it because it didn’t taste like tea at all. It was more like water with a hint of sugar. I do like that it comes in a little tea pot! Super cute.
Most of the servers here are great. There is one server that I find to be very unprofessional though. While my friends and I are talking, she would eavesdrop and make comments here and there. To be honest, her comments weren’t nice either. It’s more like she thought we were weird… she would also show her frustration in front of customers.
I keep coming back though because they open late.

Macaron party? I knew what to expect by looking at the Unilocal photos. My goodness… who could eat this monstrosity of a honey toast with an abundance of ice cream with macaroons contraption thing??? Between the 2 of us, we made it about 35%, I would say. There was just way too much going on for just 2 people. Don’t forget to cut yourself a window in the toast. Check out the pics or ask your server. Unfortunately, the macaroons weren’t very good. They were overly dry and lacked flavor. The honey toast was the same as any other place.
The milk tea was pretty good though. I loved the glass that they served it in. The boba was also fresh. Definitely above average.
Service was great. Unfortunately, the star of the show was a flop. 3 stars.

Sno-​Crave is my fave. It’s my standard for how desserts are «supposed» to taste.
My go to here is the taro snow. Maybe they just use the right kind of taro powder here compared to others, but it just tastes right to me. There are places way closer to my house, but I always come here for the quality snow. Not only that, they’re verrrry generous with the toppings and portions. I ask for every kind of popping boba and I get a snow completely covered with the stuff. It’s so delicious!!!
The mango snow is good too. And of course, what they’re known for, the huge famous dessert bread house things, are delicious. I only order them when I’m trying to impress someone, but when I do they never let me down! Actually, almost nothing I’ve eaten here has let me down. Everything is of fantastic quality, and huge portions so it makes for a great value.
The only disappointment I’ve had here is the macarons. They’re just average and kinda expensive. But hey, they can’t do everything perfectly…
Employees are always very very sweet & helpful here too.
It’s usually super crowded here at night, so plan accordingly!
