The best tropical Sno stand in all of Des Moines/west Des Moines…read more Been coming to Ashworth Snow for years! And we've tried ALL of the tropical snow locations in the area. The best flavor choices, customer service, the correct amount per serving, good price, environment is great, stocked flavors every time we've visited, other patrons provide a positive environment. These are the top positive things about ash worth snow. We pay around $20.xx for 6 snow cones for our whole family. Small $2.75 Medium $3.25 Large $3.75 Their prices are spot on for amount you receive. They accept Apple Pay, credit cards, and touch less pay. Not sure about cash. I learned the owner is one of the pastors in the church that the snow cone stand is located at. Overall great snow cone spot for the whole family! Highly recommend. The only one I recommend so far!

I am so happy to have been introduced to this gem in Ankeny. I was thinking I was going to have to…read moredrive outside the city to get a snow cone! This is just a little pop up shack in a parking lot (Salvation Army) that is very seasonal with limited hours, but it's amazing!!! I ordered a peach mango large snow and it was perfectly blended and not overly sweetened! My hubby ordered one with coffee and was in heaven! The prices are super reasonable and they have a TON of flavors (it makes it hard to chose, but that just means you will have to go back to try more). This will be a definite frequented place over the summer!

I tried the guava shaved ice and it had chunks of guava throughout and was topped with slices of guava and a candied straw. It was super refreshing and not too sweet.

The owner of Raspados La Piñita was friendly and I could see the pride she put into the items as she described how she would eat these foods in her home town in Mexico.

Just ok. Wasn't too thrilled that our cups were not filled…read moreall the way. I expected them to look like the picture. I felt we were jipped out of a traditional Tropical Sno. Total we paid for 5 cups was $20.67. Flavors were off. They didn't taste like traditional Tropical Sno brand and the ice was very chunky. Not soft like real shaved ice. The tables were sticky and dirty. I had to ask to have them wiped. Customer service was ok. Nothing extraordinary. There were no customers when we visited st 8:00pm. The location may have to do with that. Snow cone stand is hidden in the parking lot of the retail building. In front of Soleil Tanning and La James School of Beauty. Overall it was meh. It was a snow cone, yes. But it wasn't what I expected for Tropical Sno branding. I will be enjoying real tropical snow else where.

My go to is plain vanilla soft serve in a cup with Krunch Kote! It's a peanut butter flavored crunchy topping that I have dreams about. The googly eyes they put on everything is so iconic!
