After recently developing a taste for dirty sodas, I decided I'd try Southerland Sno Depot about a…read moreweek and a half ago. Although this business specializes in shaved ice (NOLA snoball style specifically), they started offering dirty sodas (or sodas jazzed up with extra flavorings, cream, etc) during their season this summer. This is indeed a seasonal business and as such they are mostly open during the summer and fall. Their fall hours, which start in early August, are Fridays and Saturdays only, from 1 - 7 P.M. They serve out of a small shack in the 5 Points area, though they initially started with a food trailer that I think they still have and may use to go to serve at events. At the shack, there's a decent sized parking lot and several picnic tables. When I came after an extremely hot day at work on Saturday, they were quite busy and seemed popular with kids! The woman who took my order wasn't super friendly and seemed kind of over it, but the other woman at the window who delivered it to me was much nicer! Their menu is really large and has a lot of specialty creations -- both in terms of snoballs and dirty sodas. They'll also make dirty energy drinks with Red Bull or Alani but they understandably won't sell them to minors. I was so incredibly hot and dehydrated from working outside all day that I decided I'd go big and get a snoball and a soda, just so I could say I tried both. I got The Coconut Caboose for my dirty soda, which is Coke (or Diet Coke) with coconut and lime, with the option to add coconut cream -- I passed on that. I enjoyed my drink! It had a good ratio of ice to beverage. I do think it was a little on the over-sweet side (yes, even for a dirty soda); I guess I just wish there'd been a little extra "something" to cut the sweet or make it more distinct, like maybe some vanilla. Still, it was refreshing! For my shaved ice, I got a shark attack, which is blue raspberry and tiger's blood flavored ice with sour patch kids and gummy sharks. This was a super fun and beautifully colored snoball! I'm honestly not typically a huge snoball fan but I devoured this one; it helped my badly dehydrated self out! It was saturated with flavors and turned my tongue blue. Fun! I ignored the gummy sharks but I do like a sour patch kid; next time, I'll eat those first before they get too firm from the cold. This treat would be a lot of fun for a kid because of all the cute and topical gummies. The texture of the ice was great, too! Give this place a try for your snoball and dirty soda needs. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Been wanting to try their raspados for a while now and as if the universe heard me, they appeared…read moredowntown at Big Spring Park when I was nearby! Luckily, the line wasn't bad so I hopped right up and placed an order. The specialty creation I ordered was $6 and fairly large. Important: CASH ONLY here. I tried their "coffee lovers" which has cappuccino flavoring, sweet cream, pecans, and coconut. It was perfect for a hot day and came with both a spoon and a straw. The service was friendly and fast. I really enjoyed what I got. I was pleasantly surprised that you could actually taste the coconut and sweet cream individually...I dunno WHY that surprised me, I guess I just feel like a lot of shaved ice type creations don't have a ton of flavor. This one definitely did! Generous sprinkle of pecans on top, too. Really, the only flavor it was lacking was...coffee! You could sort of taste it in some sips, but it wasn't as strong as I was hoping for - much heavier on the sweet cream and coconut. Still, I absolutely enjoyed what I got, and if I see them out and about again, I'd reorder the coffee lovers or branch out and try one of their many other yummy looking creations. You can also build your own or order something more simple by asking for a combination of your favorites from a long list of toppings they have posted.

They were the best cookies I've ever had- specifically the chocolate chip ones! They were very moist and flavorful. I shared all of the goodies with my team at work and they were impressed. It's obvious that Dr. Janis' treats are made with love. I had no idea that she also makes homecooked meals right next door! That is on my list of foods to try. I highly recommend this place and wouldn't change a single thing about my experience today. Dr. Janis is also very nice and welcoming. JJ's Treats is a must try if you are in the Huntsville area!

This Filipino-inspired coffee shop offers a warm, welcoming atmosphere, excellent service, and drinks that stand apart from the typical chain coffee experience. Our family sampled three beverages: the Salted Caramel Kape, a Kape Kape with added caramel, and an Ube Kape. Every drink was smooth, flavorful, and expertly prepared. For food, my wife and I ordered the pork siopao while Bethany chose the chicken siopao. Both arrived piping hot, with soft, pillowy buns and savory fillings that paired perfectly with the coffee. The service was friendly, the ambiance inviting, and every item we ordered exceeded expectations. It's refreshing to find a local café that executes both beverages and light bites so well. Best of all, this was one of the places Bethany most wanted to experience during our trip to Huntsville, and it did not disappoint. Kape Tayo delivered memorable coffee, delicious siopao, and an experience that left all three of us wanting to come back. If you're in Huntsville and appreciate unique coffee shops, this one deserves a spot on your itinerary.

I've…read morebeen here twice and while customer service is good, I'm not that big of a fan of how much you have to pay for the drink and the content of ice that goes into your drink. I paid $8.51 (before tip) for a large Buko Pandan, and for the price point expected a lot more to drink. Most of the coconut jellies and tapioca pearls fell to the bottom of the drink underneath the ice. In addition, I'm not sure if there's just a lot of Pandan dye that was used but the interior of my mouth was pretty green after finishing the drink. If there's a way to get less ice, I'd prefer that.
