Dining With Dre: Snow Monster

I’m usually not much of a dessert person, but when it comes to a specialty dessert place like Afters Ice Cream, Creamistry or any of the like, I just can’t say no to trying. I’ll always try it at least once and those fun reviews will come soon! A friend told me about Snow Monster and after Yelping it to for some research, I was intrigued!

Snow Monster is known for its macaron ice cream sandwiches, especially with its specialty hand-made ice cream flavors. Snow Monster’s small but still extensive menu includes its popular macaron ice cream sandwiches, belgian waffle ice cream sandwiches/sundaes, cookie sandwiches and shaved snow with a variety of topping options. Another popular item on Snow Monster’s menu is one of their “jar drinks.” You have a choice of a Thai iced tea, jasmine milk tea and strawberry lemonade served in a cute mason jar adorned with its unique monster logo.

Macarons and ice cream flavors.

I tasted the Thai tea ice cream and instantly fell in love! I went with a Fruity Pebble macaron with Thai tea ice cream sandwiched in the middle. My friend opted for the Captain Crunch macaron with taro ice cream as the filling. It came out plated on a simple white plate equipped with a heat-activated color-changing spoon. A fun little extra to the yummy macaron sandwiches.

I had to get one its cute mason-jar drinks and I went with the Thai tea as well. I liked that it was served in a large mason jar. It was too big to finish there, so I got a to-go cup that was adorned with its unique Snow Monster logo sticker.

Michelle Chau, a Snow Monster fan, says she loves all the different options of macarons and unique ice cream flavors.

“My husband loves the chewy texture of the macarons and all the different ice cream flavors they have here,” she said.
