I love me some Mexican Ice Cream. This shop has a parking lot in the rear and sells food, ice…read morecream, and some grocery items. They have a decent-sized dining area here for patrons to sit and eat. They also have burritos, elote, frescas, torta, epandas, popsicles, hand-scooped ice cream, maganadas, smoothies, banana splits, and fries. The staff was friendly enough, but my interaction with them was very brief. I ordered the strawberries and cream. It was ready in less than 5 minutes. The strawberries were so fresh. It was really good. I wish the cream were a bit thicker, though. It was very runny. Anyway, this is a nice spot to get some Mexican food and a sweet treat to go along with it. I would recommend checking this place out, and I look forward to coming back and trying some more of their traditional Mexican frozen treats.

The best tropical Sno stand in all of Des Moines/west Des Moines…read more Been coming to Ashworth Snow for years! And we've tried ALL of the tropical snow locations in the area. The best flavor choices, customer service, the correct amount per serving, good price, environment is great, stocked flavors every time we've visited, other patrons provide a positive environment. These are the top positive things about ash worth snow. We pay around $20.xx for 6 snow cones for our whole family. Small $2.75 Medium $3.25 Large $3.75 Their prices are spot on for amount you receive. They accept Apple Pay, credit cards, and touch less pay. Not sure about cash. I learned the owner is one of the pastors in the church that the snow cone stand is located at. Overall great snow cone spot for the whole family! Highly recommend. The only one I recommend so far!

This will always by my go to spot! My daughter and I both prefer it to any of the others... New or old. Absolutely love Aom and Nick (the owners) and the staff is always great here! The Hokkaido with less ice, 50% sugar, and with coffee jelly is my standard order. It's so good I can't see that ever changing...and I sure hope I never have to change it up. Aom and Nick also own Eat Thai up on 22nd and an Ocha location in Ankeny! Check out their expanded dessert menu too!

Shaking Boba takes the GOLD for boba! Been to so many local…read moreboba cafes in Des Moines but Shaking Boba does it the best. I appreciate the different milk options for the milk teas. Very accommodating and food allergy safe cafe. We love all their milk and fruit teas with boba. And they have NEVER run out of boba when we've visited. Even at the end of the night right before closing. That speaks VOLUMES of their management. They have even served us 10 minutes before closing with my phone order to cure my boba addiction. Service is always friendly. The owner, Paray, is there sometimes and she makes our visits so pleasant. Cafe is easy to find on University, plenty of parking, and shop is always clean. Super cute decor with egg seats and booths. Seasonal decorations make this cafe super fun to visit all year long. I love how Shaking Boba loves their community. Sometimes they host special events. Highly recommend!! Don't go anywhere but Shaking Boba!!

I've ordered here multiple times before I moved out of Iowa but it's so good. I usually order the…read moremango bubble tea. It has a yogurt mango taste but it's not too sour the way yogurt is. It's tart and flavorful. It may be too sweet for some but you can adjust the sweetness percentage! The atmosphere is like a candy shop when you walk in. You can't really see the workers because there's a massive wall blocking you from them but they have a self ordering station at that wall. So if you're an introvert or would prefer not to talk to anyone this is a good place to get boba!

I tried the guava shaved ice and it had chunks of guava throughout and was topped with slices of guava and a candied straw. It was super refreshing and not too sweet.

The owner of Raspados La Piñita was friendly and I could see the pride she put into the items as she described how she would eat these foods in her home town in Mexico.

This is just a little pop up shack in a parking lot (Salvation Army) that is very seasonal with limited hours, but it's amazing!!! I ordered a peach mango large snow and it was perfectly blended and not overly sweetened! My hubby ordered one with coffee and was in heaven! The prices are super reasonable and they have a TON of flavors (it makes it hard to chose, but that just means you will have to go back to try more). This will be a definite frequented place over the summer!

I took my family there during the 4th of July festivities. I watched as as large portions came out…read morethe window for everyone. About four inches above the cup. However, when I received mine it was a half inch above the cup. I asked what happened. They said, "oh he over poured the syrup." I handed it back to them to have it fixed. They took it back, pretended to fix it and handed the same cup right back to me. Now, my question is why treat me this way? Not only did I pay the $6 like everyone else I also tipped. I was polite when they handed me a product that was painfully obvious that it was inferior to what they just handed to everyone else. Why not just fix the mistake? Why not just make it right after admitting a mistake was made? Why hand it to me like that in the first place? I'll leave that for them to answer.

Tropical Sno at the mall!…read more Been coming here in the summer for years and it's a nice spot to enjoy a snow cone. Prime location. During COVID19 review: Evenings are definitely the hot time to visit. 6:00-9:00pm Easily 15-20 minute wait if there are several orders in front of yours. 1 worker manages the shop. Always masked. 6 ft apart social distancing protocol is labeled for line making. Flavors are a-plenty. This visit was slim pickin's. We were still able to enjoy some other favorites and improvise. For 4 small cones= $14 1 medium cone $3.75 Decent sizes. My kids can't even finish the small! Overall good service and good treat. Lovely views and great to meet friends out in the open. Will visit again and recommend!
