| - FIRST; Shaved ice and shaved snow is different. SnowFlake serves shaved snow or snow ice -- however you want to refer it as. This is not shaved ice. Or you can just be lazy and refer to it as shaved ice cause in the end, it's all the same as it all goes in your tummy! But the technique in creating this is different so don't confuse them ;) This takes more work than giving you a bunch of crushed ice and slapping on condensed milk with a bunch of fruits.
I actually came to SnowFlake and tried them the day they re-opened. I originally had wanted to try them a second time before writing a review but alas, I haven't had time to go since. Or no one wants to go with me ;__; "All byyy myselfffff."
The name of this establishment actually reminds me of "Snowflake" in Dublin, which is in the Bay Area. I would often go to that establishment with my friends because they are amazing. Like AMAZING. We were actually talking about this as we walked into this LAS VEGAS SnowFlake Shavery .. and we found out interesting things!
I do believe we had talked to the owner of the location. We never got his name down though. He had mentioned that he's trying to "rival" Snowflake in Dublin. I'm not sure if that's the right word but they're using them as a benchmark per say. They had originally wanted to open up a location in the Bay Area but settled in Las Vegas instead. Which, as I've said, was a very good decision.
Then we chose our flavors. You could make up your own combinations or take one of their pre-made combos. I'm sorry. I'm lazy and I certainly don't want to think so I went with a pre-made. I got a cookies n' cream since I've been craving that ice cream for a while now. My friend from the Bay Area got a Black Sesame and my friend in Las Vegas got their Mango.
Their Mango was on point. Delicious and you can taste that it's real fruit.
Their Black Sesame was creamy. That's not a bad thing. It has enough flavor but not TOO much flavor. We've had a black sesame shaved snow where the flavor was so strong, so good, and so easy to get tired of after a few bites.
Their cookies n' cream was good :) I mean, can't really mess up one up right? Haha!
Of course, then we all chatted about the differences between the two locations. He asked us what we thought and our opinion on the product and everything. We had a nice chat. It was good to know that some owners are still very interested in their customer's base opinions -- not just on their product but opinions on the store's future direction.
So far, Las Vegas SnowFlake Shavery is the best in Las Vegas from the consensus from my group.
Oh, they also use real fruit in their product. All organic and none of that fake/syrup/whatever some other places put IN your shaved snow.
However, the one thing that sets them apart from their competition would probably be presentation. I do realize that they started as a truck and are used to to-go business but their presentation ranks pretty low among the shaved ice/snow ice establishments. I'm not shallow. I'm all in for good tasting goodness...but...
My mother was actually looking for a place to eat snow ice at. She wanted something that resembles the type she had in Dublin. I suggested this location because, hey, it is pretty much the same concept and the flavors weren't far off. Just a bit more creamy. However, she turned my idea down. Why? The presentation of the product was not captivating enough for her. It is a drastic difference from a lot of other places. Perhaps that could be worked on. I do realize the space of this establishment is not HUGE but perhaps something to think about. A lot of other establishments that sell shaved ice/snow ice also sell other food or drink ... as to have a variety.
Anywho, other than that. Give it a try. It's a good treat for yourself :) I definitely need to go again and try their Strawberry ;)
