With school already kicking into high gear, students are looking for places to relax and grab a small bite to eat after school.

SnoCrave Tea House and Hot Pot, located next to 85°C Bakery Café on De Anza Boulevard, is the perfect place to do so. Although SnoCrave offers hot pots, personalized hot soups with a variety of ingredients, the more popular items are its drinks and desserts.

Of these items, one of the best known is its shaved ice, also called “snow.” With a $7 price tag, SnoCrave’s green tea snow with red bean may seem costly at first, but is well worth it. The portions are large, more than sufficient for two people, and are easy to share.

Whether the flavor be taro, mango or honeydew, all of the snows are richly flavored and perfect accompaniments to a meetup with a friend or an intense study session.

Having the choice to choose from more than 100 drinks at a generally inexpensive $3 to $5 is also a great plus, especially for people who like variety.

Another popular item at SnoCrave are the honey toasts, which take 30 minutes to make, but are worth the wait and perfect for instagram photos.

Attentive waiters are also crucial to a complete dining experience, and SnoCrave has good ones. They never rush the customers, and the noise level is fairly low, which is great for long conversations with friends.

Good food, good service and great place to hangout. What else do you need?

So, next time you are looking for something to do after school, and perhaps looking for a cool treat to enjoy with friends, head over to SnoCrave and be ready to Eat. Snow. Crave. Repeat.
