Best shaved ice co. ever!! Big portions and very flavorful…
Dude....the greentea flavor with mangos and condensed milk......mad delicious. Got me like YASSSSSS!!!
I love shaved ice! This place has lots of flavors. I tried the green tea flavor and it's pretty strong. Sweet but not too sweet. I love love love their homemade rice balls! It's soft, sweet, and chewy! I would come back again.
I am getting a small green tea snow cream. They say that the snow cream is shaved ice cream made in small batches with natural cane sugar and fresh ingredients.
The mini isn’t even mini. Look at this. This is like a extra large plus at other ice cream places. However, I suspect that most of it is air.
Wow this is interesting. Yeah I was right, it is like 80% air. But the texture is fun. It like compresses in your mouth as if you are eating snow. The flavor is like a mix of ice and ice cream. It isn’t as creamy as I hoped, and it tasted half like ice. Because it is so flaky, it is a really messy eat. I’m sorry.
What’s great about this place is that you can get something really big for quite cheap. $4 for the mini that I got. The big downside about this is that it tastes like you are eating watered down ice cream. It isn’t as creamy as one would think from ice cream.
First experience Taiwanese shaved ice cream n I love it !
There are 2 sizes Regular and small, even smaller size was enough to share with my friend !
75cents to add topping so I added red beans and shiratama . I can't wait to try more flavors and toppings !
Yummy snowy shaved ice with delicious toppings, at a reasonable price.. my only complaint would be that the regular size is so big! I recommend the classic combo of green tea with red bean, mochi, and condensed milk.
Blockheads Shavery is the perfect place to get your fix with cute desserts. They have Japanese cult favorites like macarons and shaved ice cream with an abundance of fun toppings. Don't be a blockhead and miss out on Blockheads. This is basically the chicken shawarma of ice cream, complete with a rotating spit that the associate shaved down before your eyes.
It's a completely unique experience you won't find anywhere else and only costs $5-8 with toppings. Oh, and there's every type of topping you could be craving. Sweet lychee is one of my favorites!
I also love their whimsical macaroons shaped like penguins, unicorns and Pokémon characters like Charzard. Gotta catch em all. Grab a table outside and try their petite, animal-inspired macarons.
If you're coming to Sawtelle for noodles or karaoke, you have to stop at Blockheads for dessert!
This place has some of the best shaved snow. The green tea and black sesame are my favorites. They just melt in your mouth and taste almost as creamy as actual ice cream. Many toppings to choose from. There is always a line however and limited seating. It's great for sharing as the cup can be huge. Very affordable prices for the quality.
So I have been here a few time and I have to say this place has good good good flavor. The shaved ice is snow flake and once you go snow flake, you don't go back to Hawaiian style unless you are in a jam on a hot hot hot day and there is only Hawaiian style. This soft, ice cream like snow flake is sooooo good. I like the black sesame and green tea flavors the most. The original is okay. They also have combos. I usually go with the black sesame or green tea combos as well.
The sizes of the shaved ice are large and super large. You can share one small with 2-3 people or have one by yourself...which I can so easily.
My only gripe is that the last time I went, the presentation of putting everything in the bowl was lacking. They use to make it look so amazing. But also I think they are skimming on the amount of snow flake and toppings they are putting in there. So I would give them a half star off, but it still tastes good. Still my favorite is class 302. They bar far have the best shaved ices and never skimp!
I would say be prepared to wait in line, even in the winter time. And also you would be lucky to find seating.
I would give this a lower score, but I think it would be unfair. This place sells iced milk with toppings. They do a really good job of that. I just don't like iced milk that much. Basically they have a couple of types of iced milk that they freeze into blocks. You order a flavor and some toppings. It tastes pretty good. Keep in mind that the portions are huge! I don't think most people need more than the smaller size. I loved the brownie chunks in my order. Wish there were a few more, but overall it was a good experience.
Their shaved ice is amazing! They have very reasonable prices and huge portions. I ordered the large green ice combo, and it was enough for 5 people. The regular is probably enough for about 3 people. Great service, and not a long wait. Would definitely recommend!
Place was super cute but like you would expect very Asian. Love the fact that they make their own ice cream bars -- thought it was a cute idea.
They didn't let us sample their shaved ice but our cookies and cream choice did not fail is. The texture was very smooth and melted right in your mouth.
Would definitely come back :)))
