Enjoyed it. Lovely, delicious like melt in your mouth shaved ice with such a lively and excellent serviced staff. I ordered the Tiger's blood and Mango which tasted amazing (I hate coconut btw so if you're a super huge strawberry mango coconut fan just get it) Then i got the grim reaper... and it was the most sour but sweetly satisfying thing to put in my mouth. Try them.

We love this place! It's a great after school or camp stop, and there is so much to choose from, you can get something different every time. We also get Pelican Bucks here for end of season street hockey awards and the kids love them. Yesterday, I got my favorite, stuffed grape, and they had giant gummy bears! (Yeah, I'm 43 years old. So what 🤣). The kids that were working had a crowd and they were doing a fantastic job. The young man that waited on me went out of his way to thank me for the tip that I gave him. He was friendly and impressive. We will, of course, be back. Many times, probably. We'll bring our dogs and get a pup cup next time!

This place is great! I have been going to this location for a couple of years now and I've always had a positive experience. This year they have soft serve ice cream on their menu; you can order some by itself or you can get a "stuffed" snowball which has the ice cream inside and on top of the snowball (pictured). There are picnic tables and a small yard in the back where you can play tether ball or corn hole. The service is always good even if it's busy. The owner is very nice and will gladly help you with recommendations and off-menu requests (ask for a Neopolitan!). It's affordable and better than Rita's.

Nice little place, nice staff, cheap prices, and syrup flavors for the shaved ice are so realistic and delicious! I have been here three times, and recommend the "strawberry cheesecake", "fruity pebbles", and "red velvet cake" flavors.

My family is from the south, and I missed having snoballs. I used to go to this chain at another location with my grandma before she passed.❤️ It might be fighting words up here, but I love snoballs over every other frozen treat. I'm so happy I found this place!
