Tropic Hawaiian Shave Ice

Finding out about this gem - courtesy of Yelp - is a godsend. There are few things as refreshing…read moreand flavorful as a good old-fashioned Hawaiian shaved ice to help deal with the oppressive heat in Fresno during the summer months. Hawaiian shaved ice is much better than an ordinary snowcone because it is thinly shaved down to give it a powdery, snow-like texture that absorbs the flavored syrups directly into it, unlike snowcones made with crushed ice. Moreover, wherever you find a Hawaiian shaved ice stand, you almost always find more flavored syrup options, including tropical flavors like mango, guava, and passionfruit. And a cream topping like vanilla or coconut condensed milk is layered on top of the cone. Tropic Hawaiian Shave Ice has additional chocolate and banana cream toppings. It is located inside the Speedy Zapatos Mexican restaurant at the front counter. This place will pile on the shaved ice and liberally drench it with the flavored syrups and cream toppings. There are nearly 30 flavor choices and a large cone is only $7. I like the flavors I picked: banana, bubble gum, and mango. Awesome Hawaiian shaved ice! It definitely hits the spot on a scorching hot day.

The girls got the new nerd which was like a tart watermelon and blueberry. The other one was a blueberry and strawberry flavored one! The blueberry was light and fresh tasting!

Quality products, great way to cool off, and cute items to purchase all aside from being delicious of course!

The interior is very busy, with snacks and merch in the front corners, and it felt a bit crowded. The décor definitely leans hard into the Halloween/vampire theme, which fans of that aesthetic will probably enjoy. Ordering was slightly confusing. There wasn't a menu listing the premade items, so you had to wait for them to scroll across the TV screen above the register. There was however a detailed menu for building your own dessert, which was helpful. We arrived later in the evening, and it seemed like they were starting to wind down for the night, but the staff was still friendly and took our order without issue. Our wait time was about 10 minutes for two items. I ordered the Peach Blossom, which was much sweeter than I expected. When I think of shaved ice, I usually imagine something closer to Korean style shaved ice, especially since it's Asian owned, but this felt more like a fusion dessert. My daughter ordered the Butterbeer and enjoyed it, though it was also too sweet for my personal taste. The main downside during our visit was the bathroom. The toilet wasn't functioning properly, my husband had trouble flushing it and had to open the lid to mess with it and about 10 minutes later my daughter experienced the same issue and had to text us from inside. It's something that could become a bigger problem if not addressed. Overall, the experience was interesting and unique, and I'm open to giving it another try with maybe a custom built order. A few improvements would really elevate the experience.

The crepe batter itself tasted like it had a little bit of cinnamon which was delicious!! We were very satisfied with our crepes and will be recommending this store to friends/family.

4 stars & I want to go back for round 2!…read more Our Saturday goal: trying to find the best viral Dubai chocolate strawberries in the local FresYes Raisin Capital of the World. Among the highly rated ones that serve this dish were Creamy Delight & Juice Time but this place is the only one rated great (4 stars at least) in most varied dessert items they offer. Plus this place closed the latest at 11pm. Raspados El Diablito (which I believe means shaved ice) menu is super expansive. Not only did they have viral Dubai strawberries but also a huge Dubai crepe & the Dubai Bionico (has strawberries, banana & apples too) & I want to try them all. They have a plethora of snackies, too many to mention here. I highly advise to check out their menu, & yelp pix. They have a massive menu that includes: ice cream (including basics like pistacio, rocky road & mint chip), snow cones (like Tigers Blood & mango), protein shakes, tostilocos, angelitos, & raspados. Some snacks that really caught my eye are the bag of Cheetos with cheese on it, the Esquite Corn Cup which is just like it sounds & topped with lime. An extravagant looking & fun named dessert was Alien Juice which is a whole pineapple topped with slices of pineapple, a cute mini beach umbrella, and 2 straws. Another big dessert is the Sandia Loca which is a half of a watermelon carved out and filled with melon, cucumbers, strawberries & raisins. My other want-to-trys are the small Bionico (topped with strawberries, granola, coconut flakes and a sweet house cream), cake cone with pistacio ice cream, & maybe if I need an ultimate I-had-a-real-bad-day splurge I'll get a cotton candy crepe which looks like childhood joy to me. If I have just 1 debbie downer is that the small viral Dubai strawberry cup was a whopping $15. The larger size was $20. I was jaw dropped at the price to pay for sugar highs these days. But, I'd definitely come back, but not too often for this particular dish. Also, the location is a little sketch & I was checking my 6 as I walked to the metal-barred doors & windows. Big pluses are the workers are young, efficient, super helpful & friendly on the phone & in person.

Came here solely for the viral fruit dessert thingy. I used to come here all the time for boba but…read moreit's kind of out of the way for me now. They were both good but honestly very sweet. If you have a sweet tooth this here is for you. I prefer the mango flavor over the strawberry. The strawberry was kind of artificial tasting. It's mousse filing with a crunchy chocolate shell? I think it's chocolate. Both are very beautiful. Very aesthetically pleasing. But a tad bit expensive. The prices range from $12-$15. I get it, it's a time consuming dessert. I'd probably never get it again but I'm glad I got to try it. Overall, I give them 3/5 for the dessert.

Hot and new item! They have the crunchy pastry that comes in different flavors! I got to try the…read moremango and blueberry one. Okay first, the pastry is absolutely beautiful to look it and really well paid. No cracks, perfect crust. The crunchy pastry is light and airy, not too sweet, made with real fruits, creamy center, kept cold, and sits on a cookie. My favorite out of the two I tried was the mango crunchy pastry. The creamy center paired sooo nicely with the mango pieces and puree. Each bite was pretty incredible. My blueberry was so cute on the outside. Again, the filling inside was delectable, and creamy filling. Totally recommend giving this new item a try. Other stores have made this type of pastry, but Sweet Lyfe is my favorite thus far. I also got a purple earl grey and I loved it. It's a nice combo, definitely something I would order again. Service was good, the gal was patient with helping me with my order. They also sell cute glass cups you can put your order in. Will be coming back to try other flavors of the crunchy pastry.
