The coconut smoothie is very tasty but they had ran out of coconuts to put the drink in as it originally is. I feel that they should have offered a small discount for that because while the drink is great, the coconut is what really bring the experience together and is what catches your attention. The macaroons are tasty as well.

They still taste as good as I remember them to be. I've been getting desserts from them when they were called "Snow Monster" when they had a location in Westminster and Irvine. Sooo sad that they're not there anymore now that I live closer that way. The size of the ice cream macarons is pretty big and for $6, I think it's a great price for desserts. Macarons alone are like $3 nowadays anyways. The Oreo chocolate chip cookie was okay. The creamy lemonade was pretty good, not too sour and overly sugary. They've a small little sitting area. They also sell boba plushies and other cute items for desk decorations. So cute. Plenty of street parking although it does get busy on weekends as there's many establishments throughout that street. There's free street parking in front of the store and nearby but only from a certain time. I wish I still lived in LB area to come here all the time now. I know there's also an Anaheim location but I don't think they have the ice cream macarons.

Located off of 2nd street, with lots of metered parking, Mini Monster Cafe is a cute little shop that tries to do too much: flower shop, coffee, boba, and ice cream shop. The moment you walk in, you are greeted by beautiful succulents, dried flowers, and unique little boba squishies. Once you get past those, you go through a line filled with Asian chips and random pins/patches. The menu itself can be a bit overwhelming, as there is so much to choose from, from boba drinks to coffee to ice cream to macarons. I opted to get the Jasmine Milk Tea with Boba and the Pistachio Macaron with Vanilla Ice Cream. They give you a lot of boba (which is a plus) and the Jasmine Milk Tea, itself, isn't anything out of this world, rather feels pretty consistent with other boba shops. The vanilla ice cream was icy to say the least and the macaron was soft and delicious. Overall, an okay shop that feels like it is doing too many things at once.

MUST TRY ICE CREAM SHOP I absolutely LOVE homemade macaroons & this shop makes them fresh! They had many ice cream flavor selections & different flavors of macaroons I ordered the mini monster (which is vanilla mint chip) & the strawberry macaroon! 10/10!! They also had a fruity pebble macaroon that I will definitely try next time! Overall the service was great & the people were friendly The ambiance was quite busy & there's many shops around which is a perfect location for an ice cream shop like this! 10/10 would definitely come again to try out their other flavors

Cute spot! I think this last time was my 2nd time here? My friend and I stopped by on Saturday during our walk on 2nd street. I was sooooo thirsty! I got a lychee jelly with... either the Sunset Strawberry lemonade or the Sunrise Passionfruit Tea. It was yummy and refreshing! The line waiting (a good sign) to get the drinks was long but there were plenty of things to browse and look at or shop for. Some cool stuff were the jewelry, the snacks that you can't get at the grocery store or 7-11 and the cute little plants or beanies and bee decorations for plants. So come check them out! I'll be back! Thanks guys!

My favorite is the sunset tea with fruit jelly! My girlfriends love the bobs Thai tea and the milk tea. It's a nice cozy place with outdoor tables, overall walking around 2nd with your tea is a good way to go back for another!

Love! Cute boba cafe with a modern boho vibe located on 2nd street. They have everything from boba, Vietnamese iced coffee, teas, macaron icecream sandwiches, snacks, and a cute little retail area. Came here on a Sunday afternoon after a late lunch and had a fruity pebbles macaron icecream sandwich with vanilla icecream - yum! It was delicious and so perf to satisfy my sweet tooth. My friend got one as well and she loved it! Will definitely be back to try more things on the menu!

Got a very delicious taro oat milk tea boba here! I appreciate that they let you adjust the sweetness level. I had the chance to choose between half and half and oat milk for my drink. The boba was warm, soft, and perfectly sweetened. They also sell some packaged Korean noodle products, chips, and snacks. You can also get plushies here, and flowers you can buy too. There's limited seating inside and outside.
Love getting Boba from Snow Monster on 2nd street. One of my favorite spots when I come down to the beach. All their drinks are delicious and the honey bobas are soft and chewy just the way I like it. The employees are always friendly and nice. They are efficient and super helpful. I love the ambiance, it makes me happy to see all the little succulents and dried flowers that you can buy here. If you are checking Belmont Shore out, definitely worth stopping in for a delicious treat.

Sad about my experience! Snow monster sound great and is a really cute shop, and I've heard great things about it. But, when I went there was not many vegan options and no employee to walk me through menu, and when I was finally ready to order, I couldn't find staff. Eventually came and u ordered the (overpriced ) drink. Then, I took one sip and realized it want what I had ordered! Employee redid it eventually but no discount or apology but so disappointed in my experience.
