I had their Hawaiian Shaved Ice at the MN State Fair Preview Weekend. It was unlike any snow cone…read moreI've ever had. I had a Passion Fruit and Guava, with Cream drizzled on top. Yep, best snow cone ever. Hands down. I hear they'll be at US Bank Stadium as well, and they'll serve them spiked there! Let's go!

I learned about Minnesnowii Shave Ice when I went to the Kickoff to Summer with my Yelp friends…read more This year, I went with my husband and decided to get a mangonada. It was delicious. I was surprise to see boba on it, but it works! The tamarind candy was a bit hard to bite and peel off, but that's OK. There was along line at the Kickoff to Summer, which was surprising, because I didn't see that last year. There were multiple windows to order from. The staff cashier and shave ice crafters were friendly and approachable. Definitely worth it. I also saw mocha on the menu, but my heart was already set on mangonada. It is normally $8, unless you're getting the specialty ones like mangonada. They accept cash and card.

When I saw Kurb Side's adorable old fashioned/retro truck parked near Tin Fish, I had to restrain…read moremyself from screaming and jumping for joy. You're telling me that I can get a Sno Ball, like I'm used to getting only in the South, at Lake Calhoun?! Remember on Saved By the Bell when Jessie took speed and was in an aerobic video and said manically over and over, "I'm so excited!" That was me minus the drugs and the spandex. Okay, giddiness aside if I must, here's what you need to know: *two sizes, served in take-out containers. Small (think a side of rice) - $3, large (think what your last order of Kung Pao chicken came in) - $5 *a TON of flavors including Georgia peach, wedding cake, tiger's blood (yes, you read that correctly), blue bubble gum, dreamsicle *additional flavors or sweet cream will run you an additional $.50 each *they have sugarfree options, which I forgot to explore since I was just too excited, a la Jessie Spano I ordered the small king cake as this is a New Orleans-style sno ball truck, after all. It was a perfect purple sno ball with unidentifiable sweetness. I don't know what king cake is supposed to taste like, but I do know that there wasn't a tiny baby in my sno ball like there are in traditional king cakes. That would have been super creepy. It's finally (maybe, hopefully, finger-crossed) summer in Minneapolis and this should be at the tip-top of everyone's bucket list for the foreseeable future.

We hired Kurb Side Ice for a small corporate event and don't have enough good things to say about…read morethem. They reached out to confirm the event multiple times, and were a giant hit with our guests. Their old-fashioned truck is adorable, and their sno balls quite literally had people coming back for more. I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again for a future event!

This place is simply unique. Such a cool vibe…read more The hot dog/sausage combos are fantastic and the guy that works the counter loves to explain his craft and share the restaurant story. You can tell he loves what he does and it makes the customer service he provides shine! I really enjoyed my spicy andouille sausage creation called the Shih Tzu. He said it was the spiciest combo (hello jalapeños)! While I'm hard pressed to give five stars to most places, especially "simpler" eats like hot dogs or burgers - the service I received deserved nothing less. Keep it up Dog Park!

The portions are large and easily sharable between 2-3 people. The mango bingsoo was incredible! It was topped with plenty of sweet mango and a generous amount of condensed milk, mango syrup, and a scoop of ice cream. It's fun to watch the milk ice get freshly shaved.

Meet my new obsession, the Strawberry Snowbing!!! Wow, I tried to explain it to my daughter but…read moreI'm afraid I don't have the words to describe it properly. It's "like" Hawaiian shaved ice, but so much better... like the difference between powdery snow (Snowbing) vs heavy sleet (regular shaved ice). Service and ambiance was just okay since it's just served cafeteria style. Make sure you have time to eat it in the restaurant, because it would melt before you could take it home.
