Price: $ to $$Located near the Caltrain station, you'll find this corner shop with a line out the door on a day with nice weather. It seems that many people are aware of Snozen as it draws young families, college students, and anyone looking for an alternative to traditional ice cream.
Shaved snow is a lot like shave ice, but the block that is being shaved typically has a flavor containing dairy - it's light, flaky, and creamy. While some places offer shaved snow, Snozen does an excellent job with keep the texture creamy. Flavors available include taro (pictured here with mochi and a black sesame drizzle), coconut (shown here), mango, strawberry, chocolate, and vanilla. It's a great sweet treat to have this mound of deliciousness. If you're lazy, they even have regular combinations you can select from (see menu below) so you don't have to think about flavor combos, but you're also welcome to customize combos on your own. It's also interesting that they serve the snow with a fork - it holds together well and didn't melt nearly as quickly as I expected.
Small $3.75, Medium $4.85, Large $5.95Drizzles $0.50
Toppings $0.50, Fresh Fruit $0.75
Seasonal flavors may also be available - look for them on the board. During our visit, they had green tea (pictured with a black sesame drizzle here), Thai iced tea, and sweet milk to name a few. Shave Ice is also available here.
Service is friendly and they accept credit cards. Depending on the day (I visited twice), there may be music playing or not. It tends to be a rather noisy place with all of the snow and ice being shaved, and it's a bus your own table type of environment. This is an excellent stop if you've never had this sweet treat.
