Ordered the coconut cream shaved ice ?, with the sweetened cream blend they have added to it - SO delicious and refreshing!

I’ve always enjoyed visiting this place for their great sno cones until today. She did not pay attention and the order was incorrect. Then overflowed it with the cream which spilled all over and made a complete mess on my clothing and shoes. When I asked her for a bigger cup to dump it in, I was told I needed to pay for the cup. Napkins were not offered.

It would’ve been nice to know they in fact close at “9” instead of 10 before driving all the way there. Update your hours online please. There was already a review about this from 6 months ago!

Would love to rate this higher but went all the way there from Topeka for some and online said open to 10 got there 8:45 and was told they was already closed and everything was put away by a young lady. Wish they had updated hours on Google!

Tads snow cones is better than any other snow cone joint out there. Quality is awesome and I have never had any bad experiences. I think they would benefit from having the benches cleaned because there's always a sticky spot. I think it's all a part of the experience. 10/10

Large selection of snow cone. Too bad they don't have seating area and no shade area.

Tad's is always a fun summer tradition in Lawrence, and on a warm evening you can't beat the shaved ice for a fantastic price. Small to Large sizing is only $3.50-$5.00, so very reasonable for an experience, but quite a bit more than, say, a milkshake.Only problem with this establishment is the location. For years it's been right where it's at, but the NAPA store doesn't exactly provide the ambiance of some other family outings, let alone the fact that eating in a marginally busy parking lot isn't exactly the safest.*Local Tip* Grab the Tad's to go and head up to the KU campus just a quick drive across the street. Beautiful views and dozens of safer parking lots. Only trick is getting there before everything melts.....

I've loved Tad's since I was a kid. Now I'm bringing my kids.

This place is trash.. Me and my niece went to treat ourselves to snowcones at Tads lastnight (7-16-2022) about 8:30pm after running errands man I really wish we didn't... my niece ordered a green flavor with sour spray when she tasted it she said it tastes like soap I thought she was just being picky so I took a bite and sure enough they sprayed cleaner on her snow cone!. Now I understand mistakes happen when I told the girl she didn't aknowlege it she acted dumbfounded like we were in the wrong then offered to remake it. She said "no sour spray this time" And my niece was happy... my mouth tasted like chemicals I couldn't even eat my snow cone so when we left she said the bottom of her cup still tasted like chemicals... so it seems like they just removed the top. The more I think about it the more upset I get. There was alot of kids there what if that happened to my younger nephew or someone's baby? Please watch your chemicals! This should never happen. I called to reach out to manager he said it wasn't true never happened and hung up on me. So be careful this business does not care about customers or their safety. The whole thing is messed up but could have been so much worse. 409 is what they use he told me.

Flavors taste different than they used too. Displeased so far this season especially with the price increase.
