Brightly colored, fun and they always take pride in their snoballs. Don't tell anyone back home in Baltimore, but these are the best snoballs I've had. The ice is perfect and Skylite flavor just takes me back to my youth. I'm always amazed at the care they take to layer the flavor and the marshmallow topping. The crew there is always polite, eager to serve and great at what they do. Our dogs love the Pup Cups as well and they're a great deal. I highly recommend you give Pelican's a try. It's the perfect summer treat and nobody does it better.

It serves over 100 fantastic flavors for over 25 years now! A brother and sister are now proud owners of this location. They have a takeout window and an indoor area with table & board games. It was epic and I will definitely be a frequent customer. TU Derrick. *Also plenty of parking in the back.

I am a bit surprised by the lack of customer service or desire to make things right. We would have paid extra for the ice cream but it was just a flat "no". I had two disappointed little girls on my hands.

Second, they have an extensive selection of flavors and textures and additions that you can definitely get something different every time you visit. Speaking of visiting, you visit Mr Morgan's because of the service offered. The owner was very engaging and took the time to explain different flavor variations and also their specials. Having been to Hawaii many a times, Mr Morgan is pretty close to what you would get from an island experience. It matches the ambiance of being on the island with the food truck theme and open parking lot. It's friendly, dog friendly and overall whimsical. I dare say I would definitely come back on my next visit and would encourage others to do so as well.

Cash is greatly accepted to help small businesses with those outrageous card fees. I usually have cash on me but since I was on crunch time I forgot my bills and used my card.

Unfortunately, We weren't impressed with the coffee. Which is why we rated it a 3. Could have just been a bad cup/mix. We had honey+vanilla in a latte. Willing to give it another try though!

Kona's first official shop opened up in April! Are you all familiar with the self-serve shaved ice?…read moreSame concept in this cute little shop. Same ol' deal- choose your size and add your flavour, or flavours, of choice yourself! A concept that can never go wrong. Is definitely fun for kids. Opening up a shop was a wonderful idea, if only they had one in Jacksonville ! The location is a little random, on the main road and right next to a cigar shop. The interior of the shop is small and simple. The only caveat is the smell of the cigars made it into the shop and there are no cakes inside. Yes there are seats outside but that's a whole other story. Will go back, especially since we bought the refillable cups!

From the moment I walked in, the owner welcomed me with a warm, friendly greeting that set the tone for the entire visit. While the shop is cozy, it is impeccably clean, well-organized, and clearly maintained with pride. Their menu offers a fantastic variety of flavors with three different sizes of shaved ice, all at a very reasonable price point. When it came time to order, I decided to let the staff showcase their creativity and asked for a "delicious surprise." After a few thoughtful questions about my favorite fruits and flavor profiles, they crafted a Banana Cream Pie shaved ice that was absolutely divine. My husband opted for a Peach, Raspberry, and Mango combination, which was equally refreshing and flavorful. Beyond the treats, what really stood out was the service. We spent some time enjoying our desserts and chatting with the owner, whose hospitality made the visit feel special. It is the perfect spot to beat the summer heat or enjoy some quality family time. A quick note for visitors: The establishment currently does not have ramp access. If you have mobility challenges, I recommend bringing a companion along to assist with entry. I will definitely be returning to Charlie's Snow Shack soon. If you're looking for great service and even better treats, this local business is a must-visit!

We got about halfway to where we were going and decided we weren't going to make it there and back on time. We crossed the street and turned around to head back to where we were parked. We walked up to Carnival Sweets and immediately noticed how absolutely charming the store looked. You went inside and it's such a quaint little store. We were immediately greeted by two men who were just the kindest. I purchased two honey bun cow tails for my children and then I ordered two hot chocolates and a strawberry lemonade. To receive your drinks, you go out the side door to the left, around the back. The hot chocolate with some of the most decadent that I have ever had. It was incredibly rich and very flavorful. The strawberry lemonade was also delicious. Between the cleanliness, the cutest decor, the kindest staff, and the delicious drinks, I wish I lived closer to come here more often. This is definitely an establishment that deserves your money and time.
