Snowbowls: Premier Snow Creamery

My friends and I were looking for a good ice cream place to eat after a stressful day at work. They asked me if I could recommend a place and I automatically answered, "Snowbowls in Ramos!"

To be honest, I've only heard about this place through shared posts in Facebook. The photos of their ice cream -- oh sorry, I mean, snow cream -- is absolutely enticing. Then all of a sudden friends at work started posting their own pictures with their delicious bowl of snow cream. And I just had to try it for myself.

Photo not mine. Got it from Google.

Snowbowls is a small ice cream place located at G/F Raintree Mall, General Maxilom Avenue, Ramos, Cebu. If you’re not familiar with the address, the trademark to look for would be Jollibee right across Mango Square since this cute place is located just beside it.

It won’t be that hard to miss if you go there in the evening because you’d immediately notice the colorful neon lighting through the glass windows, and the sign itself. Oh, and they are open from 12NN until 11PM.

Their signature green throw pillows. Photo still googled.

Sorry bad angle. Lol.

After stepping foot in the store, we were surprised to see how small the place was – can probably accommodate up to 10 people only. In fact, when we got there, there was already a group of 7 enjoying their frozen delights. So my friends and I (a group of 4) decided to eat at Jollibee first while we wait for these people to leave. It was ok though since we haven’t eaten our lunch that day. But with that being said, you’d know that Snowbowls isn’t really a place for hanging out and doing your group study activities. And according to the lady at the counter, it was still their first branch so they may consider expanding soon.

Their menu is very colorful too. And you have the option of ordering their ready-made combos namely Black & White Affair, Chocolate Madness, Modern Halo-Halo, Mangozilla, Ancestral Green Tea, Ruby Overload and Fruity Fiesta. They also offer limited editions. When we got there, it was Taro and Bursting Melon. Or you can also customize your own snowbowl by choosing the size, snow flavor, drizzle and a variety of toppings to choose from! Fun right?

You can check their menu here.

I'm not a big fan of strawberry ice cream but this here is an exception. Delish!

Chocolate madness. The chocolate chips make it even better.

My friends were too lazy to experiment so we ordered 2 of their double-sized combinations: Chocolate Madness and Ruby Overload. And not only did it look wonderful, it tasted great as well! The flavors we chose were rich in taste and quality. Definitely the prefect snow cream and Instagram-worthy too! Just make sure you have excellent timing skills because the color-changing lights would either give you a good photo or completely ruin it's natural vibrant color so you’d have to try several times to get it right – like we did. And yet our photos still suck!

Check out their color-changing lights.

But here are some more photos I grabbed from their Facebook page that looks absolutely stunning. I'm not exactly proud of the photos my friends and I took (no offense friends!) since we were just using our smartphones and timing was difficult since our snow cream was already melting. But here's some of the good ones that other people took.

This might be their Fruity Fiesta. Not sure.

Snow Waffle.

Overall, the experience was worth it and I just love what we ordered. The only complaint I have for this store is the space. But I will definitely come back to try out their other flavors and hopefully at a good time when it’s not jam-packed with customers. 

So what are you waiting for? Grab yours now! And don't forget to post it on Instagram with the following hashtags: #snowbowls and #lifeissnowilysweet

And remember, it's not just ice cream.. It's SNOW CREAM! That's ten times better than ice cream. :)

Sweet tooth satisfied. Happy customers gained.
