One Ice Machine? In This Heat? Bold Strategy…read more I drove an hour in the middle of a heat wave like I was on a mission from the shaved ice gods. I pulled up to Waves Shave Ice in Holly Springs, ready to cool down and live my best life. Instead, I got a front-row seat to a sweaty comedy. Stood in line for over 60 minutes under the blazing sun -- no shade, no misting fans, not even a warning flare. Then, just as I get close to the window... "Sorry, our ice machine just broke." Ma'am. Sir. ONE ice machine? In the peak of summer? With this kind of traffic? Y'all need at least two, maybe even three. This place is too popular to be operating like a home kitchen with one blender on life support. They need to treat this like a concert venue, not a lemonade stand. Invest in backup machines -- or at least an emotional support popsicle for the folks in line. I left hotter than I came, spiritually and physically. All I got was disappointment and a tan line and am chocolate already.

Well here's mine:…read more Parking: NA (Food Truck) Location: 5 Decor/ambiance: 5 Customer Service: 5++ As i'm driving back to work from lunch (running late of course) I could see in the distance a Hawaiian themed truck sitting in front of a random office building. As I got closer I saw that it was Kona Ice. I had never had the chance to try them but heard great things. I immediately turned around to grab a cup. As i was walking up to the truck, I was greeted by a guy working the truck. His name was Judah. He was super kool! I told him I've never had Kona so he broke the process down for me. He was super excited about his job and you could tell he loved running the truck. Long story short, I've now reached out to Kona Ice of Raleigh to see if they will do a 'driveby' at one of my events thanks to Judah and awesome Kona! By the way, the Ice was super awesome! They had so many cool flavors to choose from. It was super hard to select just 2 lol.

Food truck. Shaved ice…read more Cinnamon. Raspberry. I like pretty much cinnamon or raspberry anything. So I was pretty stoked about seeing shaved ice with cinnamon and nothing but cinnamon. It was awesome. It was served in a perfectly shaped dome of ice. By the time I slurped my way to the bottom of the cup it was nothing but slightly diluted cinnamony syrup. The hot cinnamon really isn't real cinnamon; it tastes like those small red-hot candies common around valentines day or that you get in boxes at the movie theatre. But that's okay. Cold ice and hot cinnamon make a perfect conflation of flavors. And the sugar rush from all that syrupy sugary flavoring helped me make it through the boring afternoon meeting. Kona has lots more flavors, and I can also recommend the raspberry daiquiri. It's a viable alternative to the real ones. And, when the weather gets warmer, this will be a perfect respite from the heat. The Kona truck also has flavored water available from the spigots in a small cutout near the back of the truck. I can understand why this is a popular truck for kids parties.

I had the Passion Fruit Tea with tapioca boba, and it was absolutely delicious--perfectly balanced with the right amount of sweetness and a refreshing fruity flavor. The staff was super friendly and welcoming, making the experience even better. The shop itself is the perfect spot to sit down and enjoy your drink, whether you're hanging out with friends or just relaxing by yourself. I'm definitely coming back for more, and I'm so happy to have a quality boba spot in town!

The decor inside was also super cute :) I also like that you can find their menu online and it has all the prices listed. I'll always come here for a sweet drinks/treat. There was plenty of seating inside and some tables outside as well

Great little School Bus themed Snow Cone food truck! The gals who run it are as sweet as their…read moredesserts and very good at coordinating. Would highly recommend booking them for your food truck spots on a hot day! They advertise a select amount of flavors on the outside and have other "secret" flavors inside the truck you can order. There's 2 simple flavors and prices range from $3 to $5. They're very generous with their flavoring portions and it's well worth the price you pay. My friend tried the Tiger Blood (strawberry + coconut) and I had Root Beer + Snow Cream (like a root beer float). We both loved them, neither of our lips were stained with coloring, and thought the small was plenty, or event more than enough. I'm not a huge snow-cone person but it was a great treat and worth every penny.

Once you pull in parking is easy. So I am thinking this is a true family business. On one side is a country store with homemade goods (the jam is wonderful) and old fashioned candy and such. The building next to it is where they make and sell ice cream, shaved ice and snow cream! I have tried the peach snow cream and it was good but the ice cream is where it is at! Lemon cheesecake, chocolate brownie, cookies and cream.... oh my! The best one I tried is a pepper one that I haven't been able to stop craving. His flavors change depending on what he is making at the time so i plan on stopping by often to see what treats I will run across. Super friendly service by the family and the best ice cream I have ever had!
