Snow Factory

Try the #9 pineapple and Coconut. Very fast service and lots of topping to choose from. Gummy bears. Cookie crumble.

My daughter and I go to Snow Factory often. If you want something other than typical ice-​cream or shave ice, this is the place. Its hard to describe but this type of dessert melts in your mouth and tastes great. You actually eat it with a fork! Give it a try… you will be surprised.

It’s a bit closer den Matsumotos, but miss da drive out to da N. S. — it’ll work for my gangies!

This is a life changing experience. Took my grandma and boyfriend for their first time and they both loved it. We had the taro/​green tea and the pineapple/​lihing.

I love eating Snow Factory, the customer service is superb and the food is great! I went here with my boyfriend for a dessert and left feeling satisfied. We got a taro and coconut shaved iced combination with all the recommended toppings – it was delicious and light. On the side, there was azuki beans and mochi balls. On the top, it was drizzled with condensed milk and shaved coconut, overall my boyfriend and I were satisfied.
There is also free water and toppings like gummy bears and crushed M&M’s for customers, but my boyfriend and I didn’t get it since we wanted something light.
If you’re in Mililani and looking for a light dessert, I truly recommend the Snow Factory!

Being raised on the North Shore I’m a big time shave ice fan. I’ve now gone to Snow Factory about four times in the past couple of years and I have to say I really enjoy it! The consistency is definitely like snow. I don’t care for the item which have all the toppings such as mochi balls. I love mochi but not when frozen. So I generally order one flavor with the condensed milk and that’s it! I recently had mainland visitors whom I brought here. They both LOVED it! In fact they both said they liked it even better than shave ice!
I took away one star because it’s pretty pricy at around $ 4.25 for a plain with condensed milk. But either way, I’ll continue coming back!

One of my favorite dessert/​ice cream places. I’ve probably tried every flavor combination here. Fruity flavors are the best. I like the lychee/​strawberry combo they have with Mochi, condensed milk, and pop toppings. And of course you can’t go wrong with green tea if you’re a fan of the flavor. I heard good things about the li hing but I tried it once and don’t recommend it. Only thing to make this place better is if you could add a scoop of vanilla ice cream at the bottom like you can at the North Shore food truck location! They also have pretty good crepes!

So light and sweet! Good service and the main menu items themselves are large, pleasant, and accompanied by little side treats that are also wonderful. I enjoyed the beans and condensed milk alongside my taro and coconut snow, as well as the Oreos that came with my brother’s snow and the bubbles with my sister’s milk tea snow.

I love the snow factory! Sort of a hybrid between shave ice and ice cream, strange but delicious. The shop is sparse but clean and usually has the same handful of people working. There is a menu with combos on the wall, but you can create your own (with or without toppings) as well. The chocolate/​creamy flavors aren’t bad but in my opinion, the fruit flavors are the best ones. Try they lychee.

Great place to cool down on a hot day. Inside the store is a very sterile looking… white all over but I think that keeps within the theme of the name. It’s nice and cool inside also to beat the heat.

Ive tried snow all over the bay area and this place is tha bomb its light and fluffy theres alot of toppings absolutely the best

Okay, so I’m not sure why I never remember to check in when I come here. But seriously I should be the Dutchess of this place since I come here so often haha.
My boyfriend and I were on a Snow Factory craze where we came here literally every Sunday for like, two months. We created our own hashtag #SnowFactorySunday LOL.
We’ve tried pretty much every snow flavor (except ones we know we wouldn’t care for) but pretty much gravitate toward the same combos depending on our taste that day. Some favorites are:
Honeydew/​strawberry, taro/​green tea
Or a combination of two of these flavors:
Peanut butter, Nutella, chocolate, coffee.
We definitely take advantage of the free toppings they provide for customers.
OH MY GOSH and the crepes… Amazeballs. My favorite is the #7 which has NUTELLA (need I say more?), bananas, and strawberries. To. Die. For.
Employees are always nice and friendly too :)
Five stars for this sweet cravings problem solving establishment!

My recent 2015 discovery: Snow Factory!
My daughter loves this place, it is a light dessert– shaved ice with ice cream. ? Not sure but it is certainly delightful!
We frequent this location the most, as parking is crowded but not impossible like the Moiliili location.
The staff are young but they are friendly. They will greet you as you enter and get your order right. So far I’ve no problems here. The little restaurant is clean and upkept.
There are a few tables and chairs to cater to customers, but this location is quite small.
There is a water cooler as well.

I don’t really know how to describe what I had here. It was definitely a unique combination. Not like ice cream or shaved ice. But I did like it. I had the white and dark chocolate small and my husband had the peanut butter chocolate regular. We both enjoyed and it was super clean on the inside. It does make a mess so grab a lot of napkins. We will definitely come back.

A unique experience for a first timer. We had heard about this place. Just had to try it. Oh so glad we did. If it were closer or if there were more of them, we’d really be in trouble. Very very very good.
It seemed to be a Korean version of shave ice. They have many flavors and a few toppings to choose from. The guy running the shop was very personable.
I ordered taro & Coconut. My daughter (4 years old) ordered Strawberry & Lychee. We both loved the product and the creamy, mild sweetness in comparison to the syrupy sweetness of shaved ice. We also tried the PIPE ICE CREAM!!! Try it out!
If my daughter (4 years old) were writing this review, she would rate it with the highest marks. I prefer shaved ice with ice cream but still recommend this place highly.
Note: Snow ice is not shaved ice, Frozen yogurt or ice cream. The best way to describe Snow Ice would be a frozen cotton candy.

Yummy snow ice! The two people working here today were really patient and friendly. It is nice to see that in people after a disaplinting lunch else where.
We ordered the regulaur mango and lychee combo 13 I think??? I dont remember the number but it was a really good size, big enough for two average eaters. If you are not familiar with snow ice then you should definatly try it at least once. It is not the same as shaved ice.
A little thing I am happy to point out here is that they do have cups to get water to drink. I am lactose intolerant so I have to take a pill for the condensed milk and am glad to be able to take it with water.
The desert places around Mililani aren’t that many so I will definitely be back here before the year is out. :)

This place is awesome… Snow has such a unique light and fluffy texture. Love the taste! Portions are very generous and the toppings are good. My favorite is #30 (strawberry). It comes with condensed milk, mochi and the little fruit balls.
The owner/​employees are really nice. Since it’s next to Foodland, parking is a breeze too.

Lately it has been ridiculously hot and what better way to cool down than to get some of this tasty treat! Thank you, mom for treating! This is my second time eating at snow factory (different location) and this experience was much better than the first.
My mother and I chose #23, I think. Well, it was the strawberry and lychee combination. Perfect duo. The portions are pretty generous compared to Frostcity. However, I think I think I would still choose Frostcity over Snow factory. Something about the texture and knowing that Frostcity uses real fruit is the deal breaker. I just wish the price/​portion size of Frostcity were like here! But don’t get me wrong, I will still gladly come here because it really is delicious.

I’d been a fan of this location since it’s close to home. However, I’ve noticed the cleanliness has taken a nose dive. I remember when the place first opened, it was really white and literally sparkly; now it’s very dull and the white chairs are starting to look a little brown.
Service was prompt and we got our snow orders right away. I didn’t like that they were on flat plates. Maybe HC and I aren’t graceful eaters… lots of our snow fell right off the sides of our plates as we ate. It was sweeter than what remembered.
Now here’s the kicker literally: another family walked in and the father kicked a dead roach out from under his table. He kicked it to another table area. He didn’t complain, but I still feel that one of the workers should have cleaned it up. Then, we saw a live roach crawling up by the counter where the cashier is. At that point, I wanted to leave, so we did.
Needless to say we probably won’t be going back, which is kind of disappointing since we don’t really have that many dessert type places out here. Guess we will have to drive elsewhere.

Great dessert spot! Clean, air conditioned and friendly staff!
Snow is always yummy, just picking a flavor is hard! We HAD coffee, yummy, Esp With THE Condensed Cream AND Coffee gellee. We also got the pipe ice cream, a long j shaped tube filled with ice cream. The outside is like captain crunch. It’s big!
