I’ve only been able to go here successfully one time. I have tried to go out at least four different times and the last three times I’ve tried to go, It always happens to be closed during posted business hours . I don’t really understand how I always miss it but there snow cones are very good. Which is why u keep trying to catch them .

Such a cool place!!! The employee that served us was amazing, super friendly and helpful since it was our first time here. The desserts were delicious. I can’t explain the texture, it’s like nothing else I’ve ever tried. It’s not like traditional shaved ice. It’s cold but creamy and light. Melts in your mouth. Definitely a must try!

Loved all three that we got- Halo halo, tuxedo and Mexican candy! Will return to try the other flavors. My kids loved it and hubby went back in second time to get one more. The staff are helpful and friendly. 10/10

Tasty refreshing treats a very cute idea. It's a little overpriced for portion size but a nice light dessert.

Delicious light dessert! Very flavorful and lots of options, but still healthy and not sugary. Very friendly staff, super clean and cool inside, and a great escape from the summer/Florida heat.

Excellent, cool dessert. Light and refreshing, interesting flavors! Clean and brightly lit inside. There's limited seating if there's a big party or it's busy.

Parking: It's a plaza, there's plenty of parking but it might be a short walk. There's parking at both the front and rear entrances.

Kid-friendliness: It's not kid-focused, but it's plenty kid-friendly.

The most unique dessert place I’ve been to. It’s a very light dessert like a mix between a snowcone and ice cream but without the dairy
