Really disappointed to see Patty's closed during one of the most vibrant and community-driven…read moreevents in the city -- the Hyde Park Blast. It's one thing to close early, but to post a handwritten sign calling the event "stupid" was shockingly unprofessional. It's figuratively and literally more than a bike race, it's a fundraiser that supports cancer research and survivorship through the CancerFree KIDS Pediatric Cancer Research Alliance. It brings thousands of people together for a cause that matters deeply, while also creating one of the most electric, family-friendly atmospheres you'll find in Cincinnati. From a business perspective, this was a massive missed opportunity. The streets were filled with people eager to support local shops and enjoy the events which is exactly the kind of audience any small business would hope for. Instead of welcoming that energy, Patty's turned it away and insulted the very people walking by their storefront. I love supporting small, local businesses, but this kind of response shows a disconnect from the community that makes Hyde Park special. I hope they reconsider how they respond to events like this in the future.

On a hot summer day, shaved ice is one of those treats that really hits the spot. It is referring…read more It is nostalgic. It screams summer. What I love about Kona Ice is their set up. Order at the window. They instantly grind the ice, then customers are directed to the side to apply their own syurp. My children flip for this part. I have to admit, that when I order one for myself, I get a little excited about it too. It is not uncommon to see one child making careful flavor pairings, while the next tries some of each flavor. What is more kid friendly than that. My personal favorite is watermelon and cherry with a touch of lime. It is like summer on top of summer. I have been to school functions, festivals, even a dentist office that has had Kona Ice come out to serve patrons. (Sometimes it has been the Kentucky truck. I am not sure if they are owned by the same people.) Service is always with a smile.

They also have a good selection of Asian inspired desserts and what not. This one that I can't remember what it's called, you definitely get your money's worth. It's like some sort of shaved ice thing with all these different toppings. Delicious! They also have the folded ice cream which is more fun to watch them make it versus actually eating it. Don't get me wrong a taste just fine but it's really cool to watch them make it. Service is always good although it takes them a while to make some stuff so you might have to wait in line for a bit. Ambience is all right for the most part. But we come back quite a bit!

As soon as I walked in the front door, I felt the warmth of the owners (at least I assumed they were the owner!). The way the talked to their customers like family was heart warming. They were out of the egg onigiri so I got a salmon one, a chicken sando, melon pan, and an ube cream dessert. The melon pan was honestly my favorite because they're so hard to find fresh where I live. The sando didn't impress me - too much mayo and limp lettuce without much flavor. The onigiri was good, as was the ube dessert. Id absolutely go back but skip the chicken sando.
