If you can't decide, they have a list of recommended blends for you to choose from. The ice is so soft, with the cream added it's "ice-cream". Haha The staff was also very friendly and patient as I took a moment to decide and changed a couple things as I kept seeing new flavors and options pop out at me.

Lilo's is a sweet little ice shack open over the summer. They offer a menu of specialty concoctions…read morethat merge shaved ice and ice cream but I'm usually a purist and go for regular shaved ice. These days I'm loving sour apple & strawberry with sour spray. They have an extensive flavor selection so you're bound to find one to your liking. Each summer when we head to Lilo's for the first time my husband makes the same bad joke: "I'll take a medium shaved ice...plain." Terrible, I know, but it's a tradition now. The shack is in a parking lot, so plenty of parking. And the line moves pretty quickly. Tables and chairs can be rather sticky, but many of the satisfied customers are little ones. Give a kid a cup full of sugar and that's what you get. Sticky surfaces with a side of summer joy. Wouldn't want it any other way.

The one on Flintlock is the one I visited and am reviewing. Came here after having dinner at Texas Roadhouse. Would have preferred ice cream but other people in my party selected this. It is a small shed located to the side of the parking lot in a shopping center. They had picnic tables with umbrellas for seating and a trash can. Not the most scenic place to sit in a parking lot near a road but I digress. People in my party had small sugar free cherry, small tiger's blood with pina colada and I had the North Shore which is passion fruit, mango & pineapple, with coconut ice cream and snow cap. It was tasty. I have never had shaved ice in Hawaii only snow cones so it is much better than a snow cone but I can't compare it to shaved ice in Hawaii or even on the mainland as it is not something I have sought out before. They have a lot of choices. Individual flavors or a menu with specialties. Staff was friendly, order came out quickly. I didn't pay so I am not sure how much it was but a small is listed on their website for $3.75. I am not sure if the specialities cost more. It was a fun experience to have but not my personal favorite thing to have so I would probably not come again.

This truck specializes in one thing and they do that one thing very, very well. Sno-Balls!!…read more I've only been able to track them down twice and I'm debating whether or not to share the location because I kind of want the Sno-Balls all to myself... The first time I had the Peach Cobbler Sno-Ball and it was literally the best shaved ice I had ever had! (and I'm a huge shaved ice connoisseur). The 2nd time I had the Orange Dreamsicle Sno-Ball and it was equally as delicious. When I order at the window, I always ramble and mush and shower them with compliments because the owner is just so sweet. He always has me try my Sno-Ball in front of him to ensure that I love it. Please, please, please get a Twitter or Facebook profile so I can visit you more often and not just the occasional times you've shown up at First Fridays.

Heck! Yeah! So I'm…read morewalking home from the bars yesterday, and notice that the typical food trucks on Main street are not there, and there's something random in it's place... A New Orleans Style Sno-Ball truck! On a hot day like this, that's PERFECT! So, they do one thing. But they do it WELL. The shaved ice is so soft and easy to eat with a spoon. The flavors are delicious, and they put enough in so that the entire cup (which is huge btw) tastes great. We went with two of the specialty flavors: Grandma's Custard and Peach Cobbler. Both were killer, but Peach Cobbler is the winner in my book. It was sprinkled with cinnamon, which I think is a great touch. Another great touch? The low price! I can't recall how much it was, but certainly affordable. The guy was nice, which is always a bonus. He said that he is usually set up at First Fridays and then in the Bottoms for First Weekends. So far no web presence, Twitter, or Facebook, so hunting the guy down seems to be a challenge. But if you see this truck, I implore you to go treat yourself to a Sno-Ball!

You could probably split one among 4 people. It's also a cute place to hang out, pretty pastel and wood cozy interior. I really liked the shaved ice cream! The texture was light and fluffy and while it reminds me of bingsoo, it's creamier because it's cream instead of milk I think? Overall it ended up being quite rich, especially with all the whipped cream, and the matcha flavor is a little too sweet. Next time I'll probably try a fruity flavor (and bring friends). I think this place is worth trying at least once! Really unique ice cream that I haven't seen or tried elsewhere.

I had a simple short board (small) shaved ice with strawberry colada syrup. The ice was perfectly snowy, not hard and crunchy. The syrup had serious flavor and was very satisfying.

A fun spot to check out if your kiddo is asking/demanding/breaking down over not having a sno-cone…read more How did we end up here? Well, we visited the Ethnic Enrichment Festival apparently at the same time as every single other Kansas Citian, which meant massive sun baked lines that no one had the patience for. To top it off, our daughter saw all these delicious sno-cones people were enjoying as we headed for an early exit. So Yelp came in handy as we found this spot over at 85th and Wornall, somewhat hidden in the strip center. The staff was pretty slammed but was friendly and did a good job getting everyone taken care of. To be honest, sno cones aren't my main thing, but I liked the Pina Colada one with coconut cream and most importantly, my daughter liked hers as well. They also don't skimp on the flavors/syrups, and have a handy ice catcher rim around the cups. Appreciate this spot for coming in clutch for us and turning a tantrum around!
