Great place for a hot summer day, they have endless combinations and some great toppings for these desserts. They do not offer a kids snowcone so be aware to ask for an extra cup if you're taking a young child.

Delicious shaved ice. My favorite is just the creamy coconut one, and my husband loves the mango. Great on a day when you need to cool off.

Nothing compares to Mama Rosa's. My favorite is coco con leche condensada. Very conveniently located near Potomac Mills Mall.

All i'm going to say is I had the opportunity to try Ono Wai Shave Ice while I visited Leesburg, VA…read morea couple of weeks ago and I'm ready to go back just for this sweet treat. We have so-called shave ice here in Boston but it's not like Ono Wai's. These are served with ice cream at the bottom - YUM- and a drizzle of sweet cream on top! It's like 2 desserts in one because by the time you get to the bottom, the flavored ice made the ice cream frosty and sweet - like a creamsicle- but better! The hardest part of ordering this little cup of heaven is choosing the flavors - they have 25 - and apparently they are imported from Hawaii. Thankfully, my family ordered different flavors so I was able to try a variety. They were all rich and flavorful. I'll be back Ono Wai - I'll be back!

From the owner: The product we offer is shave ice, which is a Hawaiian desert constructed by actually shaving a…read moreblock of ice into a fluffy texture. Unlike a snow cone, the fluffy ice absorbs the shavings versus surrounding it at the bottom of the cup. This makes for a much more flavorful experience. The ice is then flavored with one of 25 syrups we offer. Some patrons opt to have ice cream placed in the bottom of their shave ice flower cup and top the flavored shavings with a sweet cream. Shave ice is a delicious, affordable treat! FYI....we operate a mobile unit. Follow us on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram to stay up-to-date on our vending location.

My family and I discovered Mama Rosa Ice last year during the heat wave and it was a Godsend!…read more Affordable snow cones that can be served with up to 3 flavors. I usually get the passion fruit and mango but this time I got blue raspberry and orange. $6 dollars per cup and a $1 added to each topping desired. The service is always friendly and efficient. Wish they had Venmo though as sometimes I don't have cash on me.

This place is unreal, now I finally understand the line and the word of mouth praise!…read more I'm glad I read the reviews while in line and before I got up to the window. CASH ONLY! Fortunately, there is a Wells Fargo two minutes down the road so I didn't have to give up on my dreams of a cold fresh snow cone. Seems like they are back for their spring season!!! I can't wait to go back and I will bring the family :) Very affordable $4 a snow cone with up to 3 flavors to mix. I opted for the coconut, tamarindo, and pineapple. I also got the condensed milk on top (which I heard was a MUST and it absolutely was worth every drop) and I also added the sour tamarindo jalea on top. I wouldn't recommend them both together but separately they are both scrumptious. The tamarindo is sour! So be prepared if you like tart or sour this is for you!! My boyfriend opted for the strawberry, coconut, and passion fruit. It's true that they make their own flavors I witnessed it! There are pieces of legit fruit in them!! So delicious and unlike a classic snow cone. Each is prepared diligently with a tried and true process to get the right shape and packing of the snow particles properly. Service was very friendly and helpful and Quick! One size only and it was gone pretty quick so delicious!!! Worth it and allll the hype. We will return this weekend :)
