Yep, best snow cone ever. Hands down. I hear they'll be at US Bank Stadium as well, and they'll serve them spiked there! Let's go!

I learned about Minnesnowii Shave Ice when I went to the Kickoff to Summer with my Yelp friends…read more This year, I went with my husband and decided to get a mangonada. It was delicious. I was surprise to see boba on it, but it works! The tamarind candy was a bit hard to bite and peel off, but that's OK. There was along line at the Kickoff to Summer, which was surprising, because I didn't see that last year. There were multiple windows to order from. The staff cashier and shave ice crafters were friendly and approachable. Definitely worth it. I also saw mocha on the menu, but my heart was already set on mangonada. It is normally $8, unless you're getting the specialty ones like mangonada. They accept cash and card.

When I saw Kurb Side's adorable old fashioned/retro truck parked near Tin Fish, I had to restrain…read moremyself from screaming and jumping for joy. You're telling me that I can get a Sno Ball, like I'm used to getting only in the South, at Lake Calhoun?! Remember on Saved By the Bell when Jessie took speed and was in an aerobic video and said manically over and over, "I'm so excited!" That was me minus the drugs and the spandex. Okay, giddiness aside if I must, here's what you need to know: *two sizes, served in take-out containers. Small (think a side of rice) - $3, large (think what your last order of Kung Pao chicken came in) - $5 *a TON of flavors including Georgia peach, wedding cake, tiger's blood (yes, you read that correctly), blue bubble gum, dreamsicle *additional flavors or sweet cream will run you an additional $.50 each *they have sugarfree options, which I forgot to explore since I was just too excited, a la Jessie Spano I ordered the small king cake as this is a New Orleans-style sno ball truck, after all. It was a perfect purple sno ball with unidentifiable sweetness. I don't know what king cake is supposed to taste like, but I do know that there wasn't a tiny baby in my sno ball like there are in traditional king cakes. That would have been super creepy. It's finally (maybe, hopefully, finger-crossed) summer in Minneapolis and this should be at the tip-top of everyone's bucket list for the foreseeable future.

They reached out to confirm the event multiple times, and were a giant hit with our guests. Their old-fashioned truck is adorable, and their sno balls quite literally had people coming back for more. I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again for a future event!

My wife and I stopped by Tropical Sno for the first time, and I can honestly say I understand why…read morethere was such a long line. There were about six cars in front of us and another ten behind us, but the wait wasn't bad at all because they kept things moving. The woman working the window, who I believe may have been the owner, was incredibly friendly. She thanked everyone for being patient, smiled the whole time, and made us feel like she truly appreciated our business. Good customer service like that sticks with me. I ordered the Strawberry and Hawaiian Blue shaved ice, and it was exactly what I was hoping for. The flavors were bold, the ice was soft, and it was the perfect treat on a warm day. This was our first visit, but it definitely won't be our last. We even got a punch card, so we'll be making plenty more trips back. If you don't mind waiting a few minutes for something that's worth it, I'd definitely recommend giving Tropical Sno a try.

The service here was awesome! Got to talk with the guys that made the shaved ice and they were super fun! The Korean shaved ice was SO GOOD!! Like how have I been living under a rock this whole time!!?? We got the strawberry and Oreo. These bowls are huge and definitely made for sharing! You have to eat them in the store and they do not allow you to take these to go. The texture is similar to snow! Very light and fluffy! It's such a different type of dessert and now coarse like a snow cone. If you haven't tried this, definitely give it a go!!

Meet my new obsession, the Strawberry Snowbing!!! Wow, I tried to explain it to my daughter but…read moreI'm afraid I don't have the words to describe it properly. It's "like" Hawaiian shaved ice, but so much better... like the difference between powdery snow (Snowbing) vs heavy sleet (regular shaved ice). Service and ambiance was just okay since it's just served cafeteria style. Make sure you have time to eat it in the restaurant, because it would melt before you could take it home.
