Sno White Drive-In

Location and proximity to the beach is what keeps this place going. Nice guy working the register, ladies slinging grease in the back, all the standards on offer. "It is what it is" (hate that tired stupid expression but it sums this place up perfectly). If you are hungry, don't want to drive and find yourself here, this will do...

I’ve lived here for too long not to have been here before. I love ice cream and was craving a summer cone. I usually go to my local health food store and grab a Straus pint, but I didn’t want to brave the traffic on that side of Soquel and was passing by Sno White drive-in and decided to pull in. I didn’t know what to expect- if this would be shoddy quality or gross like the downtown fosters freeze. The line went very fast and up at the window I whispered my question to the cashier…. “I’m sorry to ask this, but is your ice cream real? Or is it like the fake boardwalk ice cream made from whey?” (In case you didn’t know- boardwalk ice cream is made from a tub of powder.) The cashier didn’t laugh nor did he act insulted, he was so kind and explained everything that’s in their ice cream- and it’s real! I ordered a small mixed cone and it’s honestly the best soft serve cone I’ve ever had! And I’m an ice cream expert! I was so impressed with the service, the quickness of ordering and receiving my order, and how busy it was. I will next try out something to eat as all the food coming out looked good too! Thank you Sno White for being a local staple that deserves to be one! And for being there on a sunny day with great employees and yummy ice cream!
