    Watermelon and honey dew melon

    I've loved this place since I was a kid. It's always one of my must haves when I'm back in town for the summer! The prices haven't even changed since I was a kid. The shaved ice is super fine and soft, no other shaved ice compares. They have every flavor you could think of. I always get something different, and it never disappoints! I think my favorite flavor will always be the wedding cake!

    Sno-Castle - the best snow cone you will ever have in your life! This is one of my favorite spots in Anderson. I grew up on these snow cones in the summer and it's a must-have when I go home for visits now. Sno-Castle doesn't look like much from the outside... it's a small castle-shaped booth that you can either drive or walk up to when placing an order. Don't let the humble appearance deter you... you have got to try a snow cone from this place! First of all, the menu of flavors is SUPER impressive - and you can do a half and half order and try out two flavors at once. Check out the picture that I uploaded here. There are a good number of sizes to choose from... I typically go with the Knight size. Also... you know those snow cones where the ground up ice chunks are too big and all of the flavoring sinks to the bottom... leaving you eating near-flavorless ice for most of the snow cone? That is NOT what happens at Sno-Castle. Their ice shavings are microscopic. It's literally like snow... every bite is equally absorbed with flavor. Like I said, best snow cone you will ever eat in your life. My favorite combination is half Wedding Cake, half French Vanilla. And I really like half Cream Soda and half Cola, too. There are tables and benches outside if you want to enjoy your snow cone there. Oh, and they don't take plastic, so be sure to bring cash. The picture I uploaded of the size options show the prices, too. It costs what is listed, no tax. Now, go to Sno-Castle! You're welcome! :-D

    Flavor options galore!

This is a traditional shaved ice that melts in your mouth with a TON of flavor. And let's talk about the flavor selection. They had an entire board of flavor combinations and they were not just adding syrup, but also toppings! Talk about options! I am now asking for a stop here every time we pass by because I need to try all the flavors!

This little stand is set up on AAA Way and Carmel Drive, in the parking lot where The Urban Chalkboard used to be. They will be in this location for the summer of 2020. There are a couple dozen flavors and flavor combinations to choose from. You can choose up to three flavors for the same price, or you can pick one of their "popular concoctions," which are flavors like Bahama Mama (banana, strawberry and coconut), Purple Cow (grape and vanilla cream) or Summer Breeze (strawberry, watermelon and peach). You can get just straight-up shaved ice with a combination of flavors, or you can add cream to your snow cone (banana cream, vanilla cream, coconut cream or whipped cream + sprinkles), or syrup (caramel, chocolate or something called a "sour spray.") Prices are pretty decent: $3.29 for a small, $3.79 for a medium, and $4.29 for a large. The small is really small, but is a good size for kids. They take credit cards/debit cards and cash, but they prefer it if you pay with a card. I'm so glad that we have this little snow cone shack in Carmel for the summer! We'll be hitting it up lots, I'm sure.

The girl working this evening told me she was new and couldn't really explain the menu combos or how the menu board worked. My kids got two small shaved ice cups and neither were happy. Tutti fruity had no flavor and the top shaved ice was colored but not all the way through. Root beer flavor was good. I got a vanilla whip and shaved ice on top, not what I came in for initially. I brought up a post this store had back on June 18th and showed to her. She was clueless on how to create and didn't bother looking for more info about the dole whip float looking post. I was not impressed with the combo and we ended up dumping the cups in the trash and going down to Libby's. Waste of my $20. They do carry Hershey ice cream which is very good, had I come in for ice cream or even been given better customer service I would have gone that route. Don't post images of suggestions or ideas of products if your team can replicate it in store.

I always get a small size and it's always enough for me. It comes with one scoop of a protein of your choice and as many toppings as you'd like. I get sushi rice but there's also a brown rice or salad option as well. The fish to put on top has been so good. I go between marinated or sashimi style. Other toppings like vegetables and sauces are also great in the bowl. Very fresh. I highly recommend if you want to try something different and like sushi (or crave something like it). The service was just okay. The lady behind the counter wasn't too helpful or friendly when it came to helping my mom who was there for the first time. Each time I go in she seems to rush me although there's no one else in the store when I usually go in. Maybe fast is just her personality- I'm not too sure. The interior decor was also nice. It reminds me of Hawaii with the palm trees and images on the walls. There's also Hawaiian music playing softly in the background. Overall I highly recommend you to give it a try.

The customer service here is always outstanding. Friendly, helpful, and patient as they answer questions and describe ingredients and options to first time customers. I LOVE the Spicy Kani. I've tried the other proteins but I always get some Spicy Kani. All my favorite ingredients are here: edamame, scallions, pickled ginger, pineapple, red onions, crispy onions, watermelon radish, and mango to name a few. The sauces range from mild to spicy. My favorites are honey wasabi and sesame shoyu, but I have tried most at one time or another. I usually build my own bowl but you can also order a signature bowl too. The Hawaiian shaved ice is unique and delicious. My favorite is Hawaiian Dream. If you like flavorful meals you will love Ali'i Poke.
