    When my friend saw I was in Asheville she mentioned we had to get the shaved ice at Sweets and…read moreSeats. She said it was the best shaved ice she's ever had and way better than any she even had in Hawaii. I was intrigued and suggested to my husband we stop by after dinner one night. This cafe is soooo cute. I'm here on vacation and trying not to work, but if i needed to work for a few hours I would definitely go here. I'd work and eat one dessert after another. The mango shaved ice was even better than expected. It was ginormous and I was full from dinner, but did a pretty good job eating most of it because it was too delicious to stop. My husband got a piece of blueberry cheesecake and i couldn't help, but have a few bites of that as well. I was hoping to make it back a second (or third) time, but sadly don't think we are going to have time. Another reason to come back to Asheville and it may just be my first stop!

    This appeared to be a new dessert/bakery place in Asheville...and possibly Taiwanese-owned?…read more Not only beautifully inviting and spacious, with plenty of seatings, the place had awesome A/C (a perfect rest stop on a hot day!) as well. Loved their menu as well. Although their mini cakes and other treats appealed to me as well, I opted to try their Taro Shaved Ice (they had 2 other flavors as well...think Mango and Mocha?). Well, their Taro Shaved Ice was PERFECT!!! The shaved ice was nice and dry, and the toppings (Boba, Lychee jelly, and Strawberries...even whipped cream on top) were generous and delicious! LOVED the place...and I can't wait to return! My husband will absolutely loved their version of Shaved Ice...What a treat to come!

    I have heard a LOT of good things about Pelican's Snoballs from my friends- they have a few…read moredifferent locations in the Hickory/Lenoir area. I never had the chance to stop by to try a Snowball until today, and I'm highly impressed! I was honestly expecting a place to go inside and sit down, but they only have outdoor seating area. They also have Cornhole outside to play too! This wasn't a big deal for me though, because we were on the go today, and it was convenient for us to be able to drive thru. They have SO many flavors to choose from, I have never seen so many snowball flavors in my life! You can choose up to two flavors, anything more is a 50¢ charge. I decided I would get the regular size for $3.50, and it was a perfect size for me. Great price too! I'm trying to stay away from sugar, so I ended up asking at the window to take a look at their sugar free menu... It did not disappoint! Usually there's not a lot of options out there when it comes to sugar free, but they've got the flavors down here! I chose Sour Green Apple & Tiger's Blood. The Tigers blood was incredible. I couldn't even tell that it was sugar free. The green Apple was good too, but didn't have as much of a "vibrant" flavor like the Tiger's blood did. I'm actually pretty excited to come back in a few days and try some more flavors. I had such an awesome experience here!

    Pelicans in Lenoir is a fantastic place to get some yummy shaved ice. The prices are very…read morereasonable and the staff is very friendly. My whole family loves pelicans
