This is a summer favorite for sure!

It can often move slow after ordering, but I think because there is usually a smaller staff working. There is outdoor seating available.

They also have games like cornhole, Connect Four, and tic-tac-toe for guests to play. I got the Polar Punch flavor in a large cup (in the picture, I had already taken a bite, but it's usually perfectly rounded on top). The shaved ice was really good--it just melts in your mouth--and the Polar Punch flavor is a must-try. Overall, this place is great. The only downside was that it took a little while to order, but that's understandable since there were only two workers at a late hour. I'd definitely recommend checking this place out if you're looking for a fun dessert spot.

Located in a small strip mall along Roan street, it's pretty easy to find. There is some parking in…read morefront of the building and more along the side. The front spaces are much better for handicapped access. The door faces sideways, and you walk down an aisle that opens into the seating area. Turn right and the menu(s) are above the counter. They are separated into sno-cones, specialty drinks, and ice cream. Prepare to be overwhelmed. They have at least 50 sno-cone flavors. Reading all the ingredients for the specialty drinks will take time as well. You'll want to read everything as the combinations are unusual and amazing. And they typically have many ice cream flavors. Beyond the specialty drinks on the menu, they do a sno-shake, a combination of shaved ice and ice cream. The sno-cone flavors are top quality. Other types of flavors have a powdery taste to me. These taste excellent, just like the flavor they are with no distracting off flavors. I had a Margarita sno-shake (lime ice cream) with watermelon and chili powder. They provide a big plastic straw, but I used a spoon for everything. The drink stayed frozen the whole time, with just a bit of liquid at the bottom. I've had a couple of these now and have a hard time trying something else because I like it so much. Sometimes the wait can get a bit long as the different specialty drinks each take some time to make. There seems to be enough staff on hand every time I was there, so it's just an issue of the types of products they sell. As the saying goes, you can't rush quality. When busy, it may take a bit longer to get your order, but the wait has always been worth it.

I got the item that had coconut ice, vanilla ice cream, pineapple, coconut, condensed milk and banana (I went no banana). If you are driving I recommend maybe getting the fruit on the bottom of the cup. I realized this once I got in my car. The whole thing was very good. I like how the flavor didn't just sink to the bottom link some shaved ice places.

When my friend saw I was in Asheville she mentioned we had to get the shaved ice at Sweets and…read moreSeats. She said it was the best shaved ice she's ever had and way better than any she even had in Hawaii. I was intrigued and suggested to my husband we stop by after dinner one night. This cafe is soooo cute. I'm here on vacation and trying not to work, but if i needed to work for a few hours I would definitely go here. I'd work and eat one dessert after another. The mango shaved ice was even better than expected. It was ginormous and I was full from dinner, but did a pretty good job eating most of it because it was too delicious to stop. My husband got a piece of blueberry cheesecake and i couldn't help, but have a few bites of that as well. I was hoping to make it back a second (or third) time, but sadly don't think we are going to have time. Another reason to come back to Asheville and it may just be my first stop!

Loved their menu as well. Although their mini cakes and other treats appealed to me as well, I opted to try their Taro Shaved Ice (they had 2 other flavors as well...think Mango and Mocha?). Well, their Taro Shaved Ice was PERFECT!!! The shaved ice was nice and dry, and the toppings (Boba, Lychee jelly, and Strawberries...even whipped cream on top) were generous and delicious!
