a picnic table and umbrella

We love Dave's. The flavors are awesome, the staff is friendly and the location is perfect. I got the tidal wave which was so good. My son tried the spiderman, and rainbow. We actually came here after having snow comes at another restaurant that were very disappointing. So glad we tried Dave's. Can't wait to go back.

Love love love Dave's!!!! Been coming to Perdido Key for 11 years, and we purposefully get in the condo across the street. Best employees too! See ya next year Dave's!!

Fast and friendly service. Snowcones were thin shaved ice, full of flavor and big. The ambiance was very relaxed with tables for seating!

Dave's Snowballs is fantastic! The prices are extremely cheap & there are so many flavors to choose from. They have classic flavors like cherry & blue raspberry, but I think what really makes them stand out is there flavor menu board of mixed syrup options like coconut and almond or tigers blood and mango passion fruit. They sometimes do special flavors like having a Star Wars flavor menu for May 4. There are picnic benches to sit at right next to the snow cone shack. It's quick, it's cheap and best of all, the snow cones are perfect on a hot day!

This was our first time trying Dave's and it was so good!!! All I've craved on hot summer weekends is a snowball and this definitely hit the spot!!! We did have issues with the address linked to yelp... took us to a dead end, but I looked up their Facebook and that address is correct and takes you to the right spot!!

We went back two times in one day! Very fast and friendly service. The snowballs were nicely flavored, and the Dippin Dots were dotty! The patio was a nice area, plenty of benches for families and chalk for the kiddos!

The last time I came to Dave's Snowball's 2 weeks ago, the ice was crunchy (snowballs are supposed to be fine Ice) and although I ordered a stuffed snowball there was no ice cream to be found. No biggie, it was a little busy and things happen. Crunchy ice like that was probably from dull blades and it's a smaller fix. I went today as it was hot as all get out and figured I might as well have a snowball as I sat in traffic going to work. I order a medium in a large cup as to not spill it in my car and boy was I disappointed. The ice was fine this time but the cup is a lump more than half filled. I know places like this get busy but that just really sucks. You want what you pay for and this was certainly not it. The service both times was great however and the snowballs do taste good. Just don't expect your money's worth and check to make sure you get what you order. Will not be returning.

It's shaved ice with sugary flavor on top. How can you go wrong? Kids loved it. They had more flavor combos than any other place I've seen in this genre (is shaved ice a genre?) Beware, they're big. And messy. So it's a perfect stop on the way home from the beach. . . . or before your evening is complete. Otherwise you might be heading home to bathe the kids!

Order it all.

Lots of flavors available and they don't skimp on the syrup like some other places do! Friendly staff.

Sign outside says they open at noon. Yelp says 2. Either way, it's 3 o' clock and no one ever showed up to open the snow cone place.

Walked in behind a group of about 7 people with 2 little kids. Thought, hmm, may take a while…read more Nope!! These folks are efficient as can be! In very short order they served the group and then got to me and my wife. NOTICE!! Portions were HUGE! Ordered a scoop of espresso chocolate chip and a scoop of Smoky mountain fudge. Both were delicious!! And huge. I mean, I'm a big ice cream fan, but even I was wondering if I could eat it all. Ha! So good I forced myself to!! Wife got a scoop of espresso chocolate chip and plain chocolate in a waffle cone. They gave her a cup just in case. She ate the whole thing, too! I'm from Cincinnati and there's a place there called Graeter's that has been unbeatable as for taste and texture. I think we've found someone to match them!! If you're in Gulf Shores and looking for ice cream, look no farther than Cherry on Top! This is THE place!!

Amazing service, great environment and good ice cream for warm days like today…read more Recommend if you're on the boardwalk and it's hot, stop by Cherry on Top. The servers were great and very attentive, even when the shop got packed they didn't sweat a beat or change posture, something you hardly see nowadays. We advised them that one of your child was highly allergic to tree nuts and just asked to have the spoon rinsed off completely, but the kid behind the counter took it a step further, put on a second gloves and offered to get a new tub to ensure no cross contamination, which we greatly appreciated but advise not needed as there were no tree nuts surrounding the choice my daughter wanted. Servings are plentiful as well. I decided on the peanut butter cookies and cream that did not disappoint. The area outside has shade and allows to cool off while having multiple corn hole sets for the family to enjoy as they're eating or resting.
