    Sweet Potato Pie and Biscoff Banana Pudding Ice Cream
    Candiss C.

    I have five words for you Biscoff Banana Pudding Ice Cream! Get it now!!! You won't be sorry. We were greeted with smiling faces and excitement to try all the things! And trust we will, give us time! Lol! This place was an absolute treat, but don't blink, you'll miss it!

    This place was super fun! First off, there is plenty of parking. There is cool music playing as you walk in. You immediately see innovative flavors of Italian ice and ice cream. I got the mango, peach, and limeade Italian ice! It was yummy! I loved loved the decor and vibe . It felt like being in Hawaii. Staff was excellent. I had a great time!

    Best water ice I've had the flavors are extremely flavorful and never miss. Their ice cream flavors are unique and tasty as well. A little pricey but definitely worth it because they give you a lot. I always enjoy it every time I go. They're fast and courteous as well. It gives an island atmosphere and laid back. T

    I absolutely love the customer service at this establishment. They are always super friendly when I visit. The only pitfall is every time I visit. They never have the flavors that I want. But that goes to show that they must be doing something right. Every item that I have tried, it was super flavorful and tasted just like the fruits. Everything is made fresh and you also get to taste your items before you buy them. If you're not careful, this can become an addiction but in a good way. Their juices are amazing as well. Plus you can take your items to go or you can eat them in indoors or outdoors. This is a family friendly establishment. Everyone is always welcome.

    Say hello to the newest ice cream joint in Portsmouth! Paradice makes homemade Italian ice and ice cream which both are delicious! We had the pleasure of meeting the owner Devon. What a sweet guy, and accommodating. His manager Raven, as well as other staff members are really sweet and energetic, ready to serve you. Love the energy! Italian ice is fresh, and so many different flavors to choose from, also their ice cream is phenomenal. I personally liked getting a gelati which is a mixture of Italian ice and ice cream. I got lemon cake and peach Italian ice, it was delicious as you can see from my photo. My husband got two ice cream flavors which were strawberry cheesecake and Brookie, which was a combination of brownie and Oreo. He loved it. Everything inside makes you feel like you're actually in paradise, very clean, and cutsey I love the atmosphere. Great music bumping as well! Bathrooms are clean, tables are clean, and there's also outdoor seating, which is really nice, there's umbrellas if it's super sunny, and also really cute lights for when it gets dark. They just opened up about a week ago, so come, check it out, you won't regret it!! we will absolutely be back, definitely bring our family and friends here when they come to visit this summer.

    Very delicious Italian ice. So much flavor we definitely are going to try the other flavors. The service was great as well. They let us sample 2 flavors to see what we wanted which was very nice. The place itself was very clean and welcoming. They had sitting outside and inside which is a nice bonus.

    Nestled in the heart of midtown, Portsmouth, VA. Paradise Ice is nothing short of a gem! Service is top-notch! A must-visit for anyone who loves ice cream / Italian ice or just wants to indulge in a little happiness. I can't wait to go back and try more flavors.

    I'm so glad i randomly went to check them out! From the moment we walked through the door to the time we walked out...nothing but amazing vibes and customer service! Everything she had me try was so good i didn't know what i wanted to order! She mentioned she makes everything in house and the delicious flavors proved just that! The prices were very reasonable and they give you a good portion. Below are pics of the Italian ice we ordered. I didn't take pics of my ice cream but the Angie's Apple Pie flavor *chef's kiss*

It was refreshing and pretty tasty! They also offer vegan options, including vegan ice cream, which is a great choice for anyone looking for a dairy-free treat. One thing to be aware of, though, is the pricing on the add-ons. It appears the prices may have increased, but the price board has not been updated. The board lists add-ons at 50¢, but we were charged 75¢ for each add-on. Because of this, the final total was higher than we expected. Hopefully they will update the price board to reflect the current pricing so customers know what to expect when ordering. Overall, we would recommend this place for a cool and refreshing dessert, especially for those looking for vegan or dairy-free options. Just be sure to double-check the add-on prices!

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 :)

The Snoballs are gluten-free, peanut-free, cholesterol-free, fat-free, and contain no high-fructose corn syrup. They come in 4 sizes, with over 100 flavors (including sugar-free), plus toppings and fruit. You could even use various creams, sodas, or ice cream to make a SnoDas- a SnoStyle Soda Drink. You can make their version of a milkshake (SnoShakes) or a Red Bull (SnoVivers). Each snoball includes two flavors, and with over 80 flavors, there are over 5,000 combinations. Since I am limiting my alcohol consumption nowadays, I ordered a margarita and sangria, regular size - it had all the taste of those flavors without the hangover. 1401B Lynnhaven Pkwy, Virginia Beach, VA 23453 Fall Hours: Every day 2 pm - 8 pm

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 :)

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!

Stopped in after a quick trip to NC and thought that it would be nice to grab a snowball. Things that I love about Penguin's Snowball is that it is a locally owned establishment to grab a fun summer time treat and it is in a great location. Also, if memory serves me correctly it is owned by a veteran. I come here several times throughout the summer months and I love the different options, my favorite being the Piccadilly. Today I watched as the young lady, who appeared to be working alone, made snowballs with one glove on her right hand and no glove on her left hand. I stood and watched as she made two snowballs and then realized that she needed more snow. She adds more snow to both cups and proceeds to push the snow with both the gloved and ungloved hand.
