It brings back so many thoughts of summer! In my adult life, I have still continued to visit often, as I am on the bike trail several times throughout the week. For instance, I was on a 14 mile run in the hot sunshine and noticed that the ice shack was now open! I had to stop and get a snack, as I was so thirsty! The ice definitely cooled me down and helped give me some energy to finish my run. I have been checking out the natural flavors. These are flavors that are natural fruit juices. My favorite is the Hawaiian sunset! Even if you don't want to go all natural, there is an entire list to choose from. It would be a great mission to choose a new flavor each week over the summer (an all-time favorite is black cherry!!). They also have shaved ice available over ice cream. If you get the orange shaved ice on top of vanilla ice cream, it tastes just like a creamsicle. Grab some shaved ice and start walking down the bike trail. You see lots of people doing this during the summer, and it's the perfect summer activity and treat!

Love the Ice Castle! Going to miss it being closed for the season. Affordable sweet treat :)read more

There are few things in life that manage to perfectly straddle the line between nostalgia and…read morenovelty. Snowie, the snow cone stand that goes by no other name because it needs no embellishment, is one of them. My journey with Snowie has been a tapestry of sensory joy, summer ritual, and a near-spiritual quest for the perfect blend of syrup and ice--a journey so rich and layered that I can no longer tell where the pursuit ends and the craving begins. The First Encounter I remember my first Snowie snow cone like most people remember their first kiss: vivid, electric, and oddly life-defining. It was a humid July afternoon--the kind where the heat warps the air and clings to your skin like molasses. I was hot, thirsty, and disillusioned with the world of watered-down slushes and sticky popsicles that promised relief and delivered regret. And then, like a desert mirage turned real, I saw it: the iconic Snowie stand. Bright colors, cheerful fonts, and a line that hummed with anticipation. I joined it without hesitation. What struck me first was the ice--not your standard, chunky, gravelly snow cone filler. No, Snowie's ice is different. It's whisper-soft, airy but packed, and it doesn't just hold flavor--it becomes flavor. It's not just a vessel for syrup; it is the canvas, the base note, the core of the experience. There's a silky texture to it, almost like fresh powder fallen from the sky and immediately kissed with fruit nectar. That first bite, with Tiger's Blood cascading into Blue Raspberry at the base, was more than taste. It was an awakening. The Flavor Journey You might think that once you find your favorite flavor at a place like Snowie, your journey is over. You'd be wrong. Snowie rewards the adventurous. The more you explore, the more it gives back. At first, I was loyal. Tiger's Blood, with its lush strawberry-coconut undertones, was my north star. But over time, I started experimenting--maybe a drizzle of Pina Colada on top, or a swirl of Sour Grape underneath. I fell in love again, and again, and again. There was never disappointment--only discovery. There are over dozens of flavors, and that doesn't even include the potential for layering or the fabled "create-your-own" technique. It became a ritual: each visit a strategic decision. Would today be a tropical blend with Mango, Guava, and Pineapple? Or a sour symphony with Green Apple, Lemon, and a whisper of Cherry on top? Each combination tells a different story. Some are loud and nostalgic, like Bubblegum and Cotton Candy--perfect for when I want to remember summer as a kid. Others are mature, nuanced, like the haunting balance of Blueberry and Cream. Every combo is a new page in a never-ending novel, and I am the protagonist. All I can say is - get lemon lime, cherry, and pina colada!

A thing to note: Hawaiian Shaved Ice is actually a little stand located in the parking lot between the new Angilo's pizza location and Lee's Famous Recipe Chicken. I kind of doubt this will be open during the colder months, but it's been open all summer nearly every day between 3-9pm. All they have is shaved ice. With TONS of flavors (and some fruit toppings) to choose from! Their prices are simple: $2 small. $3 medium. $4 large. All overflowing with iced goodness! Seriously. The small was huge! The Pina Colada flavor wasn't that great, but the orange and lime were good. I'm looking forward to trying more flavors before colder weather hits. Hawaiian Shaved Ice is a great alternative to places with daiy (although I'm sure the flavor syrups aren't really healthy). *bites flavored shaved ice* Ahhhhhhhhh.

Coop's has a variety of flavors - and they are always delicious. Flavors are everything from normal cherry to key lime pie. My favorite mix is key lime pie and ice cream. This little stand is located behind Lehr's meats, and the easiest way to get to it is right off of US-50/Lila Avenue between an old gas station and a National City Bank. It's small with one picnic table, but you can wander up and down the sidewalks while you eat. Or hop in the car and go! I've seen my fair share of pups here too - I know mine enjoy it when they get to come!
