Shaved Ice Restaurants near Bradenton, FL

“We stopped by Pelican’s Snoballs in Bradenton and were pleasantly surprised! They have a huge variety of flavors to choose from, and the snoballs are soft, fluffy, and packed with that authentic New Orleans flavor. A perfect treat on a hot Florida day!

They’re currently running a great deal—$20 for 25 coins, and each coin is worth $1. It’s a fun and budget-friendly way to treat the whole family. In addition to snoballs, they also offer other frozen treats and ice cream options, so there’s something for everyone.

Parking is a little limited, but there’s a picnic area with shaded seating and yard games, which made the experience even more enjoyable for the kids. It’s a laid-back, family-friendly spot we’d definitely visit again!“

“Olivia was absolutely fantastic during my visit to Rita’s! She greeted me with such a sweet attitude and made the whole experience feel personal and easy. My order came out perfect, and she checked in to make sure everything was right. She’s the kind of employee who makes you want to come back again. Big shout-out to Olivia for the great service!“

“Our family of eight arrived after closing time, thinking the shop was still open until 11. Tyler, Lorenzo, and the team kindly stayed late to serve us and even offered helpful recommendations since it was our first visit. We had a wonderful time celebrating our daughter’s birthday, and everyone loved their ice cream choices. The customer service was outstanding, and the ice cream was just as amazing. We’re so grateful for the experience and will definitely be back!“

“The inside is quaint- but who cares what the inside looks like- that food was bomb- I got the mango tajin thing in tadpole from the free handouts the gave out and yeah, the tadpole was enough and it was so good. They had a new guy but they trained well. Will be returning:)“

“Great place to get an icy cool treat. Place is very clean, great employees that have great recommendations as well.“
