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.

We stopped by this place on a whim and really enjoyed the experience. The prices were reasonable,…read morethe sizes we got were adequate and the rainbow shaved ice I got was delicious. I loved the seating area they had - a couple of benches and rocking chairs sitting in the shade. They also had a place to wash your hands and/or use hand sanitizer for folks who don't wish to participate in the current pandemic. There is also a chalkboard if you have kids or anyone who wants to advertise their messages of peace and love on the board or sidewalk. It looked like these were college kids running this operation - all cute and upbeat with smiling faces, and there was nice music to dance to while waiting in line. Anytime I'm in the area again, I'll definitely stop off so I can try more of their flavors. A great place to get a nice little treat on a hot day. And make sure to leave the workers a nice tip - they deserve it!!

All the dye and junk in all the other local trucks drive me crazy. Not only is Kotei kids healthier but all their flavors are super unique and awesome. They even have sugar free flavors that have stevia and monkfruit, not sucrulose or any other the other supper unhealthy sugar free ingredient. We had them come for my daughter's bday party as well. Jackie was a pleasure to work with and her husband did an amazing job pulling the truck into my crazy steep court. They made an extra special large ice for my daughter and she was so happy. I would definitely book them again.

Since we knew they were coming we actually got to enjoy our sons party and had much less stress than we typically would have when it came to planning the treats for the party. Our guests raved about the ice and since they're organic and vegan with no artificial dyes there was no guilt in what we were serving all of the kids! Our son has a severe egg allergy and this was a much better solution to hosting an allergen free party that everyone could enjoy. If you have an allergen kid or are inviting friends with allergies I cannot reccomend them enough as a delicious low stress choice. Kotei ice was easy to work with, quick to respond and they were so fast in serving our guests at the party! We will definitely have them at our future parties! Trust me, skip the artificial snow cone trucks. You want Kotei ice!

I've been coming to this snoball stand since I was 7 years old! I'm now 30 almost 31 years old and…read morethis is such a staple to my Maryland summer experience! There's not a bad thing on this menu! I usually get a blue raspberry snoball with marshmallow topping and it hits the spot! The sno swirl (snoball with soft serve ice cream) also hits the spot on a hot summers day. But if that isn't your speed this is one of the few snoball stands that also sells ice cream and Italian ice, too! I really enjoyed the Biscoff Cookie Butter sundae that was introduced last year and I'm glad it's a permanent fixture to the menu! The service is quick and kind and if the lines look long don't be intimidated -- they move very fast! As with traditional snoball stands there's no indoor seating but the business offers a few picnic tables you can go and sit at or you can sit in your car and enjoy your sweet treat. Parking has never been an issue even when the lines are long. Fair warning: if you go make sure you bring CASH! This business only takes cash. So don't expect any support for Apple/Google Pay, Cash App, Venmo, or any credit/debit cards.

Today, I went with my friend and asked the female worker what a "Hawaiian snow cone" was. She mentioned a topping, so I asked further, "What kind of topping?" She replied that it was condensed milk. I said "Oh," and ordered a small shaved ice. As she handed me my order, she looked at her male coworker and said, "Es por eso que no me gusta servir a las morenas." (Note: Morenas can mean brunette, but in other contexts, it refers to dark-skinned people. I am a Black woman.) I didn't understand what was said, so I thanked her and left. However, my friend, who speaks Spanish, overheard the remark and said "Muchas gracias" to let them know she understood. The male worker then smiled at us. As we walked away, my friend explained what the female worker had said, which translates to, "That's why I don't like serving dark-skinned women." Shocked, I decided to go back and address the situation. When we returned, the woman refused to come to the window, so my friend asked the male worker to get her. When she finally came out, I calmly asked her what I had done to upset her. She claimed she didn't understand English. At that point, I had my friend translate the conversation. I told her I was shocked that she would say something like that in front of a customer. I explained that we live in a diverse community, and it's upsetting to hear such remarks, especially when I had done nothing wrong. Her first excuse was that there was a language barrier, which was why she made the comment. I responded that the interaction had lasted only two minutes, during which I asked just two questions. I explained that I understood her point, but asked if she realized how her words could be taken to mean she didn't like serving dark-skinned people, not just people who don't speak Spanish. She then claimed she was joking. I told her I didn't find it funny, and I didn't think anyone else would either. You shouldn't speak negatively about a customer in front of them--if you're going to make such a joke, say it when they're gone. Her next excuse was that she didn't remember saying anything. At that point, I walked away because it was clear the conversation was going nowhere. I didn't record the encounter because I wanted to have an open discussion and give her a chance to learn from this. However, it felt like a lost cause. To have her never once apologize or say, "I didn't mean for my comment to make you feel this way" shows that she simply doesn't care. I hope this experience makes her think twice about what she says in front of people. So, unless you are a light-skinned Spanish speaker, I strongly recommend you avoid this place.

Their shaved ice is like a fine snow that almost evaporates on the tongue, leaving a huge burst of tasty tasty flavor. And speaking of flavors, you won't find the rainbow assortment here. Honey's has less than a dozen, I'd wager. But in addition to the usual standbys, they have several "organic" flavors, made with cane sugar and natural flavors. I actually broke with personal long-standing tradition and passed up blue raspberry for the organic peach flavor, and boy howdy was I rewarded. Major peach punch-the-face with evaporating snow iciness. Delicious. Add to that, the cutest food truck ever, although you probably shouldn't call it a truck. Honey's is a bright yellow converted Bajaj auto-rickshaw. Easy to spot, but if you're not sure, look for the fat man running after it like a kid to the ice cream truck. That would be me. Oh, and they don't have marshmallow fluff, so don't even ask. But if you're partial to that, you're hating on me by now anyway.
