| - I think my expectations were too high.. Way too high cause I'm left disappointed after my visit here. I never like writing negative reviews but I had to!
First off, would it hurt for the workers to smile and greet customers? We were first timers and the menus were all over the place, I didn't even know where to look first. Seriously after 5 seconds of stepping inside, she goes "What did you guys want?" Wait what, excuse me? Not even a "Hello! How are you?" Or something.. Geez.
Her monotonous voice and blank stare urged me to hurry up and figure out what I want so she doesn't get anymore pissed off. I opted for a Creamy Bun that everyone was hyping about and I got it with Cappuccino Crunch. It was very good, as I'm familiar with Thriftys ice cream. But dang, $5?! Idk about that.. Maybe $3.75 but not $5. The bf got a Honeydew Shaved Snow with Mochi, Popping Boba & Condensed Milk drizzle. $5 as well? Talk about ripoff!
Here's the thing, were avid fans of Snowflake Shavery & shaved snow in general. Our cup was not filled with shaved snow/not filled up past the brim like the pictures on Yelp and Instagram, the toppings were tasty but a little more than a teaspoon would've been great and I didn't taste the condensed milk drizzle because well, it lacked of it.. We left totally unhappy, the girl was friendlier with the next customers who were young guys her age. Ugh!
Why us.. Why! We read and read the reviews here & I was so ready to write a similar great review. Not impressed at all. I'd rather drive to Chinatown & get legit shaved snow at a good price. Yuki may have more varieties and options to try but Snowflake Shavery wins with quality and quantity of shaved ice in the bowl. Not sure if I'll try it again. Right now, I'm still in a sour mood from our visit.
