    I forgot that I stopped here almost 6 years ago. It was during the pandemic when people stayed…read moreinside to be safe. If they went to get food, it would be takeout. And in some cases, folks would eat in their vehicle. That was the case when I went here for the 1st time. Fast forward to now, I happened to run into The SnoBall Shop when I picked up food from a food truck nearby. Let's see how everything went. After leaving a food truck right across the street, I headed here to order a snoball which I haven't had over a year. Just like the 1st time, you head to the front to place your order. Beforehand, I took a look at all the flavors available and chose white chocolate. I also chose marshmallow fluff for the topping. Overall, the snoball was good. The white chocolate flavor was present throughout and having the marshmallow fluff as a topping and in the middle helped with each serving. The snoball did melt due to the weather outside, but it was totally fine. Once again, the SnoBall Shop came through for yours truly. I'll definitely stop by the next time I'm in the area. Till next time :)

    3.5 rounded up. Service was great, the gentleman was kind and I inquired about the superhero $1…read morediscount in uniform. There are numerous options available explained on their signage. I opted for the kiddie size snowball which was a good portion. It includes 2 flavors, but I chose add-ons - whip cream and tajin and added vanilla ice cream at additional cost. I'm glad he informed me that due to the kiddie size, adding ice cream would increase the height and most likely have the snoball spill over. He offered to place the ice cream on the side to avoid spillage which I greatly appreciated. They have a large variety of flavors and the reason for the 3.5 stars was due to the taste. I had the passion fruit and tiger's blood. I think the tiger's blood is a sugar free flavor with splenda, so that may have been the reason why I wasn't loving it. I did finish the entire thing though. Haha.. I've just had better tasting at other local businesses. It's located in Primrose shopping center near the Holy Spirit Catholic Church. There's plenty of parking available and they have 3 vibrantly colored tables for seating. I'm sure their presence brings a lively, fun vibe to the shopping center that's in dire need of an update.

    The service here is in need of desperate improvements. When we arrived there were at least 10…read morepeople waiting to pickup their order. Once we were greeted (after at least 5 mins of standing in front of the window where we visibly made eye contact with workers) we placed an order for 4 snowballs. Just snowballs, nothing elaborate. We waited by making use of the hula hoops provided by the store (nice touch), interacted with others who were waiting, chatted amongst ourselves and still our snowballs were not ready. We asked what appeared to be the older of the three young ladies working if we can have a refund and were told our orders were being finished. I said but the workers are back there eating a snowball. No acknowledgement was made that the workers were not using their time well to prepare orders. About 5 more mins and the worker we spoke with poked her head inside the shop and said something to the other 2 that resulted in our snowballs being finished and handed off a few mins later. I understand summer employment jobs and having fun while at work in an environment like a snowball stand, however, in total we probably waited around 30+ minutes for 4 snowballs while we watched the workers eating a snowball, chatting with each other, and moving at a snails pace. Snowball is ice and flavor. Training is needed to make sure the workers understand how to maximize their efficiency so they can get customers out of their face and they would actually have more time to do the things that young summer workers like to do when working with their peers.

    Super delicious snow cones. They have a huge selection. I got the mango & guava 10 out 10…read more My hubs got the grenade & mai tai. 10 out 10.

    It has definitely been a minute since Sophia and I had a snoball here. For years, Pelican's has…read morebeen a go-to for cold treats which sastisfied our sweet teeth. Let's see how the afternoon turned out. After having lunch elsewhere, we drove here for some much needed snoballs. Outside, it was pretty warm so we stayed in the car. Since our last visit, they updated the location. There are more benches and have umbrellas to cover them in case of shade and rain. Also, you order in the front and pick up on the side when it's ready. For my order, I selected the Coconut flavor in the kiddie's size. The flavor was just exactly a Coconut flavor and delivered. As usual, the ice tended to melt a little quick just as I mixed the ice around, but no change to the taste at all. Sophia enjoyed her selection too (forgot what she chose). Thank you again Pelican's for having the both of us satisfied. We'll definitely be back. Till next time :)

They were able to answer questions about the menu and make recommendations. The sno balls were definitely more than just run of the mill cups of shaved ice. The owner, Eddie, was a pleasure to meet and cares about the community experience as well as the conditions under which the kids have to work. He's got a great amount of seating and is constantly adding activities on the property for his customers to hang around a bit and have fun. Can't wait to bring my team back. Also, they are first responder friendly which always earns my respect. Check them out!
