Snowy Village Korean Dessert Cafe

Pretty classic shaved ice options. The taiyakis are where it’s at though. Theres a bunch of flavors to choose from. They’ve got sweets and savory taiyakis. The ube and the pb&j ones were ideal. I’d skip the churro one next time around. It was a bit lacking in taste.

Snow cones meet fresh fruit. We got the banana & strawberry with fruity pebbles and being from Louisiana we have been craving some good shaved ice. Its definitely lighter in taste but a healthier version for sure. The line was pretty steady here so we could tell it was a local favorite. My daughter loved her pastries with cheesecake filling. It came out fresh and hot too. I would definitely return. Great price, great food and great service.

So good!

Fast service. Delicious dessert!

Shaved ice is delicious. All natural flavors. Great treat for hot days.

Get the Halo Halo shave ice.

Sure! Here’s a reworded version of your message:

I made the drive from Costa Mesa to visit this snowy village spot and it was absolutely worth it! I came to try their bingsu and French taiyaki, and also sampled their breakfast options like the spam, bacon, and sausage taiyaki—everything was incredibly tasty. We also tried the ube iced Vietnamese coffee and the banana matcha coffee, and both were amazing! If you’re in the area and have some time, this place is definitely worth a visit.

There are places you hear about in whispers. Reverent mentions in passing, like someone revealing a secret church where the sermon is sugar, and the communion is crisp, cold, and unapologetically indulgent. For me, that whisper led to Snowy Village on Grand Avenue in Chino Hills, a modest-looking dessert haven that could’ve easily been mistaken for just another trendy café if not for the sheer intensity of joy happening inside.

We drove in from Orange County. Call it a pilgrimage, if you will. And Snowy Village didn’t just live up to the hype—it knocked it out cold, packed it in shaved milk, and topped it with fruit, condensed milk, and magic.

Let’s start with the Bingsu. This isn’t your basic shaved ice with a couple of strawberries thrown on top. This is Korean-style shaved snow, ethereal and silky, almost evaporating on your tongue, but somehow still carrying depth and richness.
• Matcha was earthy and complex, balanced between bitter green tea and sweet cream—like a Zen monk wearing a velvet robe.
• Assorted fruit felt like summer exploded in your mouth—fresh, juicy, and layered on a mountain of frozen snow like a technicolor avalanche.
• And the banana crunch? Pure nostalgia. Like banana bread had a lovechild with a caramel sundae and decided to make it a celebration.

But then came the French Taiyaki—and man, if you haven’t had a croissant waffle in the shape of a fish, filled with sweet red bean or Nutella, you haven’t lived right. The exterior: flakey, buttery, and crackling like a thousand layers of pastry. The inside: warm, molten, devastatingly good.

The Mochiaki, their mochi waffles, blur the lines between chewy and crisp in the best way possible. It’s the kind of bite that sticks with you—literally and emotionally. Sweet, dense, crispy on the edges—like a waffle that went to Tokyo and came back cooler than you.

And don’t sleep on the breakfast croissants. Savory in a place that does sweet so well might feel like a gamble, but it’s more like a flex. Rich, layered, golden pastry hugging eggs, cheese, and whatever else they’ve decided to stuff inside. It’s indulgence with intent.

Here’s the thing—Snowy Village doesn’t care about your diet. It’s not here to cater to trends or gimmicks. It’s here to do what it does best: absolutely wreck your willpower with craftsmanship, quality, and a full-throttle love of dessert. The kind of place where you sit down thinking you’ll “just try one thing” and wind up licking Bingsu off your phone case two hours later because your hands were too full of croissants and mochi waffles to hold it properly.

The pictures online? They don’t do this place justice. Hell, even this review might not. You have to taste it. You have to hear the crunch of that taiyaki shell, watch the snow melt into condensed milk waterfalls, and feel your eyes close involuntarily because yes, it’s that good.

Don’t walk here. Run.
Snowy Village isn’t just the best dessert in Southern California.
It’s a moment—and one you’ll want to relive again and again.

It's the worst milk tea I've ever had!

Friendly staff
Cozy environment
Yummy shaved snow

I love this place. It's the best snow. Better than Hawaiian Ice. Portions are great for your money. Well worth it. Got somewhere else and the large at the other store was smaller than Snow Villages smallest size and same price as Snow Village large. Always have flavors. Fast service. Favorite place in Riverside County, definitely in Chino Hills

Got the viet float and red bean taiyaki

The best ever

They have the best desert. I’ve tried three flavors and they were all great. It’s very refreshing and filling. Highly recommend this place.

Wait times are a little long but the desserts are yummy!
