Snowtime — Restaurant in Campbell

It's finally open, y’all! They are doing their soft opening right now (12-7pm, Tues-Sun).

TLDR: if you want a not overly sweet but refreshing and satisfying dessert, come here for soft serve and shaved ice.

They offer 3 sizes for their bingsoo (small, medium, and large). My husband and I decided to get a small so we could also try a soft serve and bungeoppang/taiyaki. They had 3 soft serve options today: vanilla, taro, and swirled...we got swirl to try both. For the bingsoo, we got the strawberry and mango.

Bingsoo: STACKED with fruit, a heaping scoop of ice cream, and packed with shaved ice goodness. The fruit has a delicious syrup coat, which brightens the flavor. The shaved ice has a light sweetness to it; not overly drizzled with condensed milk or syrup. As the ice cream melted down, it created a sweet and creamy combination of flavors. It's so refreshing and satisfying.

Soft serve is lighter in flavor than SomiSomi--not too milky or sweet. It's something my parents would actually enjoy as well.

bungeoppang/taiyaki has a unique flavor that is unlike any that I've tasted here. It has a familiar Korean flavor but I can't explain what it is? The after taste is this deep, rich flavor that isn't sweet or savory...I LOVE this flavor--more than SomiSomi's. I'm excited to bring my MIL here when she comes to visit.

Decor/vibe is so cute and refreshing. I love the teal accent and artwork on the wall (which is a local artists' work!). Seating is simple and clean, but not a ton of seating. I can see this place getting...

I've been here multiple times and loved it. However, tonight there was a serious issue with one of the staff members. I got in line and was at the register, I had recently had a surgery so I am only able to whisper, as I was letting my husband know my order so he could tell the woman at the counter, so she could hear us the woman at the counter looks past us at the person behind us in line and asks if they are "ready to order". Super rude and not typically how a line works, bad customer service.

Then, after we waited for the person behind us in line to finish ordering we inquire about the allergens in the Miss-You-Matcha; I have a deadly nut allergy and was wondering about the tiramisu ingredient, which typically contains nuts. The employee says "no, there's not nuts in that". I ask her again if she is sure because it is a severe allergy and typically tiramisu does. She changes her statement and stating that it might????

Whether it has the nuts or not is not the problem, she flat out lied and was unsure of the ingredients in the food she is serving, which could potentially lead to life-altering consequences. Super...

This place is a true GEM! Newly opened dessert spot with AMAZING food, servers, and vibes.

The soft serve was sooo good and not too sweet, either. Came topped with a perfect macaron. You can really tell that all their ingredients are fresh and high quality!

My wife and I also enjoyed the taiyaki: little fish-shaped waffles with fresh filling. We got the Nutella, blueberry, custard, and GRILLED CHEESE (!) fillings. Served PIPING hot and simply delicious.

I personally also appreciate that they offer dairy-free options and any other modifications you need for dietary preferences/restrictions.

My personal favorite part though is how the staff genuinely make you feel welcomed and cared for, and answer your questions about items with patience and helpfulness - the BEST kind of "cherry on top"! Love this family-owned business and can't wait for them to...
