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.

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.

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.

We hired Kurb Side Ice for a small corporate event and don't have enough good things to say about…read morethem. 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!

Everything looked so good but we were really in the mood for ube apparently so we got ube drink and bingsu. The bingsu is so good and a good amount too! Loved the texture and flavor of it.

It's always super busy especially if it's nice out but they are speedy! If you can't decide what you want you could ask them for a sample to taste. They usually offer a sugar free option that's delicious and that's usually the one I get! If you are ever around the apple valley area make sure you stop here and take a walk around cobblestone lake and if you still have energy do some shopping at target. If you have extra time book yourself a spa service at clovr spa and have a relaxing day! When you have worked up an appetite go stop by Texas Roadhouse! Perfect summer day!

I used to like this place since they would help fluff the plushies. Those days are gone and they…read morewill not stack near the prize chute. When my sister-in-law visited last year, we had better luck with owners making it easy for my son. This month, it is very obvious the claw machines are programmed to grab after payout but release before reaching prize chute. Without filling at the level of prize chute, you are guaranteed to lose since they will roll back down away prize chute. Only plus is their boba tea and shave ice. Only come at promotion days when you get free tokens. Birthday you get free 18 tokens and large boba drink when you purchase anything. Mall of America location is worse with points (out to 1 decimal) instead of tokens which varies too much based on prize. Only added bonus is gatcha machines have nicer toys. Also different games but more points. Birthday gets you bonus with $28 worth of tokens and free large boba tea. They clarify that you still have to purchase minimum tokens for $18 so strings attached.

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.

First, there's a cute cardboard cherry blossom tree for great photo opportunities. Plus there are multiple shelves with items being sold. There are labubus, capybaras tumblers and many more adorable things. I had to fight the urge to buy them all! I ordered a bubble milk tea with light ice. Once I got the drink, I felt bad to even poke it open because of the beautiful design on it. It was vibrant and colorful, giving off the perfect spring vibe. After reluctantly stabbing it open, my tongue was met with a cold sweet milk tea and warm tapioca pearls. The temperatures contrasted perfectly, making it even more enjoyable. The staff were so kind. Multiple people greeted me upon arrival, and the person who took my order was super sweet and explained the difference between two drinks I was confused about. I really appreciated their patience for me. Overall it was a fantastic first experience and I hope to return here again soon!

I got the Vivi Signature Fruit Tea and it was loaded with tons of fresh fruit, but the lime juice was overpowering. Drinks are on the spendier side but they're large and are generous with the toppings. The flaming brown sugar tapioca was good. There are a few high top tables and some bar seats at the window that you can sit at. There's a 2% fee applied to credit card payments.
