We almost drove away when we saw the long line that reached the parking lot but decided to stick it out and give it a try. Figured if the locals are willing to wait in line, it must be good! This is a pick up only window with tables outside for customers to enjoy their treats but there is no indoor seating. The walk up counter had two windows and both were staffed with friendly cashiers. The line moved quickly but with enough time for us to figure out the ordering system and to sort through the many options available from the menu board posted on the sidewalk. There are at least 5 sizes (that I can remember) to choose from and thankfully I was sharing a medium otherwise it would have been too much for one person and I only did two steps out of the 3. I chose to create my own and selected the coconut Italian ice with the Chocolate Gelati in a medium cup. The rest of the family ordered from the Frog Squad Favorites list, which are creations designed to remind you of other favorite sweet treats. One ordered a small Frosted Animal Cracker and one ordered a small S'More. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their selections. We had fun sitting outside and the entire time while we ate our Italian ice , there was always a line of customers. We quickly understood why this is such a hit amongst the Gainesville community!

The first time, I asked for two separate flavors of Italian ice -- they mixed them together anyway. I complained and gave them another chance. Yesterday I went back, and what I got was absolutely disgusting. The cup was filled with ice chunks and watered down like somebody ran it under the faucet -- or worse, spit in it. It was gritty, slushy, and had no real flavor or texture. I paid for Italian ice, not freezer-burned soup in a cup. You can tell they don't take pride in what they serve. No quality, no care -- just sloppy. I added pictures so y'all can see I'm not exaggerating. Jeremiah's: Do better. I won't be back, and I don't recommend this location to anyone. I honestly want my money back but how do you get it when you don't want to even go there the thought that someone spit in my icy

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Charlie's Snow Shack as part of an Elite event, and it was…read moretruly an exceptional experience. From the moment I walked in, the owner welcomed me with a warm, friendly greeting that set the tone for the entire visit. While the shop is cozy, it is impeccably clean, well-organized, and clearly maintained with pride. Their menu offers a fantastic variety of flavors with three different sizes of shaved ice, all at a very reasonable price point. When it came time to order, I decided to let the staff showcase their creativity and asked for a "delicious surprise." After a few thoughtful questions about my favorite fruits and flavor profiles, they crafted a Banana Cream Pie shaved ice that was absolutely divine. My husband opted for a Peach, Raspberry, and Mango combination, which was equally refreshing and flavorful. Beyond the treats, what really stood out was the service. We spent some time enjoying our desserts and chatting with the owner, whose hospitality made the visit feel special. It is the perfect spot to beat the summer heat or enjoy some quality family time. A quick note for visitors: The establishment currently does not have ramp access. If you have mobility challenges, I recommend bringing a companion along to assist with entry. I will definitely be returning to Charlie's Snow Shack soon. If you're looking for great service and even better treats, this local business is a must-visit!

I'd go back for another but it doesn't fit in with my diet LOL. My daughter had the strawberry lemon Italian ice and really enjoyed it. One of the things that sets them apart from say a Rita's Italian ice are the "layer in" items. You can add in stuff between your gelati layers, such as Oreo, Biscoff Butter Cookie Crumbles, Mini Chocolate Chips, Rainbow Sprinkles, or Chocolate Sprinkles. You can also just get the soft ice cream. I saw someone with a cone that was HUGE. They small sizes here are generous, but if you want to go big, then you definitely can! They also moved through the line quickly. It was busy when we went, but they were adept at getting all the orders done fast and efficiently. Will definitely return!

The owner Rebecca was wonderful, and was so easy to work with, and the price was very reasonable. The truck operator Robert was also wonderful. He was super friendly and helped the kids and parents all have a great time. Words cannot do justice to how excited all the kids got when they saw the truck pull up outside. It was this shear moment of euphoria when they realized, "The Kona Ice truck is here, JUST FOR US!?!?". That moment alone was totally worth the cost of the booking. They had my daughter's name written on the side of the truck, which made her feel so great on her special day. The entire Flavor Your Own option was a huge hit with the kids, and the adults loved the variety of flavors they have in the actual truck (we highly recommend the buttered-beer flavor). I highly recommend giving them a try!
