Avalanche Shaved Ice - Strawberry Cheesecake - Shaved Ice Near Me - Houston, Texas

This snow cone stand has a couple of covered tables to sit at to enjoy your sweets. I ordered a medium wedding cake snow cone for $3.75. It had plenty of syrup and tasted very good. A medium was plenty big for me. Next time I might get a small. It's a good place to visit. Friendly service. I took a pic of their operating hours. read more

We are literally obsessed with this little hut! We've been coming to it for years. The ice is velvety smooth and a huge selection of flavors to choose from. By far the best shaved ice in the city!!

The staff is always friendly and quick, it's cash only but do take zelle Highly recommend!!! read more

The snow cones here are great! Never had anything I didn't like. They also take cash only just FYI. I am giving it a 4 star because they don't have a phone number, website, or Facebook. I have come here twice during their open hours and they have been closed. Would be nice to have a resource to check if they are open before making the drive. read more

i have been going to them for years and they are so close to new orleans snow balls -- love chocolate with condensed milk

So good! The fine shaven ice is my favorite part and there's so many flavors to choose from!

This place is the best. Been coming here for maybe two or three years and it's the best snow cone! They have the best tigers blood! I order it every time and I have tried many other flavored as well. I usually get light syrup bc the last few times they have been a little heavy and I hate when I'm eating a snow cone and half way through its mostly liquid. Haven't tried the snacks they have but they do have nachos, frito pies and pickles. The prices have increased over the years but they are still cheap and I believe they could be selling them for more compared to other snow cone places in Houston. It may be the area they are in. It's a little bit off hwy 290, but it's not in a bad area there is just not much around. It also has a drive through or you can pull up and eat your treat at the picnic tables. It's definitely worth going to if you are close by but they close early , I believe at 7pm but those change depending on the season. read more
