Here you'll find a wide choice of gourmet drinks. Bubble teas include the great classics such as black tea, brown sugar, matcha and taro, as well as rose, jasmine and crème brulée versions. There's also a fine selection of flavored teas, available hot or cold, as well as granita and fruit drinks.

But that's not Snowvan's main specialty. Here, people also come to try the ultra-gourmand milkshakes, including the very visual Sky made with curacao, lemon, Japanese Hokkaido ice cream and fresh cow's milk, or the astonishing Rainbow flavored with the fruit of your choice.

Snowvan's other speciality - and we spoil it for you - is its gourmet ice creams. Available in box (jar) or torch (cone) versions, the first thing that catches your eye is their original shape. From the ballet angel and its XXL cotton candy to the mermaid's treasure and its mermaid's tail, not forgetting Sakura Magic in a nod to Sailor Moon, the impressive creations are sure to win the favor of even the most curious sweet tooth!
