Seriously favorite dessert place ever! When I travel to Houston, I make a special trip to Sugarland just to come here. Hippo ice is a very unique concept that puts a new (and improved) spin on "shaved ice", offering a variety of out of the ordinary flavors like green tea, almond, milk tea, and avocado. The portion size is very large and worth every penny. This place is a must try for anyone passing through the area. If there were more than 5 stars I would give it, absolutely outstanding. Wish they had a location in Dallas!
First time here since it is under new ownership. Ordered the mango/red bean shaved ice with cookies n cream, chocolate chips, and whipping cream topping, the shaved ice was fluffy and soft. Love the atmosphere of this place, everyone is so friendly and welcoming, it is a great place to hang out with friends and family.
My wife and I have driven past this place for quite some time and out of curiosity decided to stop by. I am glad we took the chance, because we were pleasantly surprised. I got a green tea with lychee, and my wife had a strawberry with passion fruit. I have never been a big fan of sweets, like cake, ice cream, or candy, but my wife is! It was not overbearingly sweet, but just sweet enough to appease my wife’s sweet tooth. They have a huge variety of flavors, so as long as we receive the same great service, I will be back to try everything on the menu in due time!!!!
This is the best place ever! My roommate introduced it to me a couple days after it opened and now I go at least twice a week! The staff is so friendly, the place is cute, and of course, their shaved ice to the bomb! I've tried all the flavors and I have to say avocado is by far my fav but they're all really good
My boyfriend and I loved your shaved ice and we sadly drove up to see that your location said permanently closed. We 100% will miss you guys, your shaved ice, the environment and workers. If you ever reopen anywhere we'd be thrilled to continue to be your customers. Hope for the best for you guys and I want to thank you for making our dates great and special. ��
Brought my girl and all her friends to hippo ice for her birthday. We're amazed how fast our order came out (ordered 20+ shaved ice with different flavors, toppings...), and food (chicken nuggets, corn dogs...)The new ordering forms just made everything easier. Customer service was great as usual. Everyone's happy and enjoyed their delicious ice a lot! Thank you hippo ice for being so awesome!
Best shaved ice in town. Fruits are fresh. Highly recommended!
Simply the most amazing thing you'll ever taste dessert wise in your life. I love it and the staff is extremely nice I've never experienced such wonderful kind customer service like this.
Love the place�����good location and nice staff.
Amazing service today! I will definitely be back for more!
I'm obsessed hippos ice is amazing!! And the staff is always very nice and professional!
This a great alternative to the same old ice cream or sno cones. You have to try it. Like ribbons of heaven and made from fruit.
This unique way of making shaved ice from fresh fruit was surprisingly delicious and blew me away! Totally worth the trip to check it out. Very tasty and refreshing. Mainly diary free and vegan friendly and tastes as smooth as real ice-cream!
Treat yourself to a fresh & delicious summer treat, here at Hippo Ice.
First things first, this is a shaved fruity (or savory) dessert with toppings, NOT a snow cone type dessert with syrups. Shaved Ice can commonly be mistaken for snow or crushed ice or most of all Shave Ice (syrups).
Modern and interesting decor, with plenty of comfortable seating. Strangely located, but pretty easy to find.
I ordered the mango ice, with chunks if fresh mangos and strawberries with a mango drizzle (mango, mango, mango!), and that cost me almost 8 bucks... Was it amazing? Yes. Was it THAT amazing? No.
It's a fun treat on a hot Houston day, but it's not a regular place, and that is the true sad story here. If their prices were better, and the location not so far out from the 59, this would be a regular.
For the time being, this place is worth a try if you've never had shaved ice before, as it's so light and fluffy/flaky. But remember, it's a shaved fruity dessert, NOT a snow cone type dessert.
This is not your normal ice house, the shave ice is super tasty not from artificial syrup but made from real fruit! Healthier than ice cream, and many toping choices.
Excellent service and very clean place, will definitely visit on regular basis. So glad we have such a nice neighborhood store. 👍

Seriously, this place is amazing. The service is extremely friendly and the flavors are on point. I drove here from Katy twice in a week. IT'S THAT GOOD.
If you've never had Taiwanese snow cream, you need to get over here! It's so light and fluffy like finely shaved ice, yet creamy like ice cream. IT'LL BLOW YOUR FROZEN DESSERT MIND.

I have been going here for about 2 years every other weekend with the kids. The shaved ice is very refreshing after a long day in the sun, It beats a snow cone any day. Expect a smile and good service from the staff.
The shaved ice is tasty and light. Bubble tea is at par with others. The establishment looks and feels professional despite being an only location. The ambiance could have been better. Voices echoed and no music was playing. Table tops were unclean. Overall a pleasurable experience.
Beware, these ice are like nothing you ever had before in your life ! Thin but yet still thick enough to savour, the portions are plentiful and all ice are made with FRESH AND NATURAL ingredients. The flavors are heavenly and there are more than enough choices of toppings to pick from. Definitely worth a visit !
Went with families this weekend to Hippo Ice and their shaved ice was De-li-cious!!Mango ice is definitely a must-try! And they have food menu as well, all at affordable prices. The chicken nuggets are better than MC's in my opinion. We've ordered 50+ nuggets in total! And they're only $1.99 for 12 pcs!! Isn't that amazing?! Definitely will be back for more foods and ice ;D
Hands down, best iced dessert around. They take the puréed fruit and freeze it in big blocks. Then shave the ice off in ribbons. The texture is perfection. My favorite flavor is watermelon basil with tapioca and condensed milk drizzle. Mmmmm.
Really good shaved ice, especially the matcha flavor !!
But my only complaint is when they close earlier than the closing time printed on the schedule. I went at 8:20pm on a Wednesday , and they were already closed. According to the schedule, it closes @ 9:00pm :/
