Love their selection of flavors. The ice isn't as smooth as other shaved ice places, but it's still good because of the selection of flavors. My go to, when I'm around the area. Fast drive thru service. read more

Holy cow! I do not understand how this snow cone can be so perfect! Usually all the flavor goes to the bottom. # worththewait

I had a Dream. A Dream of Growing Up In Houston in the late 70s and 80s. That dream got even more colorful and fun in March when the snow cone stands would start popping up on every other corner. The dream would last until at least December. Since, everyone knows that there are only two Season in Houston. Summer and FEBRUARY. I never understood why snow cone stands were so scarce in this area. They used to be on every corner growing up. I think I lived in DFW for 8 months before I found a snow cone... all the way over in Farmers Branch. I left work today. It's Friday. We are off every other Friday and the Friday we do work, we leave at 4pm. It was beautiful outside. I rolled down the windows and at the next red light I sent a mass-text message to the girls. "Its The Weekend. And I wanna Snow Cone" Jen, still at work, jumped on Yelp and found TC Shaved Ice for me. Corner of Park and Ave K. Small little square building in the the Fiesta Food Mart parking lot. Drive Up Windows on either side and a WalkUp window in front. The drive up lines were wrapped around the building on both sides. I ordered my favorite. Pina Colada... with CREAM. $2.00 for a medium + 0.25 for the cream. Tax Included. Man, was I surprised when she handed me styrofoam cup. I ordered a medium and got 16 oz. Um, for $2? Seriously? They also offer Blue Bell and have a concoction known as a KnockOut which is vanilla Blue Bell with your favorite snow cone mixed in. Um... I wanna try that. Sounds like something Sonic would have dreamed up. I'm so glad I finally quenched my snow cone craving. Just be ware.. this is a CASH only establishment. read more

Small hole in the wall offering dessert & Mexican snacks. We wanted to get some snow cone & they had a long list of flavors. We tried the tiger blood (it's a mix of strawberry & coconut) because the lady said it was customers' favorite, but found it way too sweet for our liking. We don't come around this area often, but might come back for some mangonada & elote. read more

YUM! I've gone here twice in a single day. You can mix two flavors for no charge...so get creative. I came up with a coconut wedding cake :D and lemon raspberry. & when I'm feeling fruity...the blackberry cherry raspberry ahhh!!! The price is great, the people manning the windows are friendly, and this is just summer bliss in a cup. read more

Best shaved ice in Texas. I've been coming here for years and will be coming for many more. Nothing says summer like TC

Love it. LOVE it. Elotes here is incredible. Perfec tmix of corn, creamy, and spicy. The shaved ice has made me a convert. Super saturated shaved ice cups turn your mouth colors and stain someone else's Jetta seats....ah memories. I always get Pink Ladies which is like a Big Red thing, Get it with cream and it's to die for. Root Beer and Ninja Turtle are delicious too. read more

We were looking for a run-of-the-mill snocone place near Allen. The reviews looked promising for this place. Overall, you can get a decent snocone here. We subtracted two stars for the following: -1: The wait. We only had two cars in front of us and no walk-ups, but we were in line for 20 minutes. Just a little slow for my tastes. -1: Lack of syrup. I would say this was simply a preference point, but I'm pretty sure everyone would at a minimum like syrup throughout all of the ice. We got smalls, and both my wife and I were missing syrup in the middle. And I mean literally no syrup. Just a block of plain ice from the edge of the cup to about halfway down the cup. Would have subtracted one more star for the following points, but I can't give two stars for something I completely finished: - They add tax to the prices. I know this is a minor complaint, but in 30 years of eating snocones, I can't remember ever paying anything other than the listed price. Minor complaint, but there's something comforting about seeing $2 and actually paying $2. - The ice isn't very consistent. Some of it was very smooth. Some of it not so much. My wife actually had four marble-sized chunks in hers. Again, you can get a pretty standard snocone here; however, we'll probably continue our search. read more

TC Shaved Ice - Could probably use a little more syrup. We had a "tube of ice" down the middle of our smalls. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Plano, Texas

I bought a large sour apple shaved ice here and it was pretty meh. The flavor wasn't very distinctive - it mostly just tasted sweet. It's also, like others have said, not a proper snow cone. It's "shaved ice" and it more resembles a slushie. However, I gave it an extra star for its elotes, which were quite good - better than Fuel City's for sure. You can tell the corn isn't freshly shucked, but I really like the seasoning they used. Not only do they use hot sauce, but also what I think was paprika. It added a lot of flavor and spice, making it really quite spicy. I do intend to go back because they also served other items that I'm curious about, such as shaved ice paired with ice cream, which I had never seen before. They also have a number of Mexican slushie options. Maybe I'll even give a different flavor shaved ice a shot. read more

FOR SURE the best snow-cone place i've found in the north-of-dallas-suburbs area. So soft and fluffy and the syrups have the perfect level of sweetness. Sometimes they go a little to heavy on the syrup but that's way better than a snow cone that's too dry. Pina Colada is definitely my favorite, but the McKinney location has Mango.. Will definitely be going back to try it! read more

Went through the drive-through may be about five minutes ago, the lady was nice enough, made my corn in a cup which is the only thing I ordered. First off, the corn is nice and warm, a good amount of butter and cheese. I did ask for salsa as most places give you sauce on the side or is visible on top. I ate a few spoonfuls without it and the corn was fine, once I put the little tub of sauce she gave me on it it was disgusting. I don't know if that little tub of sauce was no good anymore but it completely ruined the corn in a cup. Completely disappointed as I was craving one very badly. read more

The Mangonada is fantastic! The nachos are a big, gooey, guilty feeling, mess of fun eating. read more

Oh yes. Root beer shaved ice is great. Better than you would even imagine. Just right really. They have amazing mango slushys. Blue bell ice cream (including my favorite mint chip) in a cup or on a cone. Great great nachos (you know...corn chips and cheese sauce). They also have corn and other snacks. But I come for the cool treats! read more

I love TC's. I have been coming here since I was a teenager. The wait is crazy, I would always recommend walking up to the window. It's a lot faster. Tons of flavors to choose from and the 'knockout' with ice cream on top and bottom of the shaved ice is amazing. Always order extra syrup, the. You get juicy flavored ice with every bite. They started charging tax, which they never did, but I'm ok with it. Inflation right? read more

Surprisingly good. Not a ton of flavors available, but the ice is super fine. They also sell some interesting snacks that I have not tried such as corn in a cup and spicy candy apples. read more

TC Shaved Ice came out to our school function and treated more than 300 students to a Shaved Ice snow cone!! Mini (owner) and Jessica (operational manager) spent their entire day at our school treating our students and teachers. This business has a heart of gold and I am certain they will have a very busy summer with so many of our families stopping by. Thank you for starting off our students to a great summer!! They will remember this treat for years to come!! read more

I come to this place quite often. The flavors are pretty good, but for the last few times I have been the flavors seemed to have been weakened. I like the fact that they offer more than just snow cones. They also offer ice cream, nachos, and a Mexican corn dish. This place is cash only, so know that before you go. They also have two drive up windows and a walk up window. They share the same parking lot with Fiesta @ the corner of Parker and K Ave. It is a tiny place and if you go too fast you may drive past. All in all I really like this place. read more

TC Shaved Ice - Large Tigers Blood...yummy!! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Plano, Texas

Great place to get a snow cone! Flavors are great and the ice is shaved very well. The lady at the counter made excellent flavor combination suggestions. Try the ninja turtle..... it is amazing! Two things prevented this from being 5 stars.... the wait time and the sizes. I have been by this little gem twice and both times the wait was long. There are two sides to drive up to but it still makes for a long wait. Second is the sizes or snow cones. Their small is 12 oz. I wish they carried one size smaller so that you don't waste so much. read more

Second time I go and the cups have a weird smell to eat like if its spoiled milk or something weird idk but we spent over $60 and the the cups that had that smell were the blueberry flavors and we told the lady inside she said that's how the blueberry smell like and I was like well it smells like its expired or something we didn't eat nothing really from it but she said she wouldn't replace it with another flavor or give a refund bad customer service and bad sanitation I guess because I honestly felt it's the cups that have the smell but she said it's the BLUEBERRY FLAVOR BEWARE read more

This people at the window are super rude. I asked what ice cream flavors they had and the lady acted like she couldn't be bothered. Rude.

This is the best shaved ice you could ever hope to find! Perfect for that hot summer day! The ice is the perfect texture, never crunchy or chunky, and they have many available flavors. If you like snow cones, you'll love TC Shaved Ice. After trying them out, you'll never want shaved ice from anywhere else! EDIT: I have recently found a better shaved ice place - Bahama Bucks! After going there I had to take a star away from TC. read more

Did not wear masks, gloves or take any safety precautions. Had to drive to a different stand where they had touchless pay, masks, and lids for sno-cones. Please consider updating your safety protocols during a global pandemic. read more

I should have mentally noted that the last reviews were dated over a year and a half ago.. I was just so desperate to find a snowcone place in Plano that incorporates ICE CREAM, that I got desperate (Shiver Shack in Watauga has spoiled me.. check out my review for amazing snowcones..). I brought my two out-of-town & visiting friends to TC Shaved Ice and were sadly disappointed in their use of a not-too-sweet ice-cream serving machine, and the flavors that the three of us had really been looking forward to. The snowcones were cheap, yes.. the snowcones were huge, yes, but the taste of it all (and mixed), did not impress me so. Ahh, my search for snowcones with ice cream in DALLAS continue. read more

Girl at the window is extremely rude. Asked for a large and she gave me a small. When I said I asked for a large to begin with she continued to argue and had an attitude. Probably never coming back because was extremely disrespectful. And I'll make sure to pass the word about not coming here. Plenty more options read more

This place is cheap compared to most sno cone places. They only take cash so make sure u have a couple dollars on u. I've only tried clear coconut with cream but I may need to try the knockout next time! The flavor is good but I do like Bahama Bucks better. read more

Big fan of corn in a cup. I live in Allen and think this is as good as the corn you can get in Dallas. Knockouts are a big hit in the family too! Best hole in the wall for snacks you can find. Delicious. Bring cash. read more

I've been a patron of TC Shaved Ice since I was a wee lass in 2nd grade -- and I'm currently in my senior year of college. I was delighted to learn that there was a TC near my house after we moved to Plano in 2000. I absolutely adore this establishment. The ice is flavorful, the prices are cheap... really, what more could you want? I grew up on the Dreamsicle and now thrive on the Ninja Turtle. I really don't know what else to say, other than, go there. Try it. Love it. This place is amazing. (Cash only, by the way.) read more

Haven't had this place since I was younger, so I gave it a go today. I got tigers blood and it was super yummy ! It came w cream which I thought I would t like but it added a nice touch! Way better than bahama bucks ! read more

Hey so shaved ice in the summer is great especially in the hot Texas heat. I've been here twice and on my first visit I got a watermelon shaved ice. The ice was so fine like snow I practically drank half of it. Recently I came to try their elote and nacho both cost less than $3. The nacho wasn't good too salty, I gulped down 1/2 gallon of water after eating a tenth of the plate. The elote was good! The corn and other ingredients that went into it created a nice taste. The elote is served warm and consists mostly of corn and cheese. Just to warn those going on the weekend, you might have to wait in a line of cars. Otherwise standing outside and ordering at the front is another option. I will definitely come back for another pick at the shaved ice. read more

Snowcones are delicious. Elotes was good, but clearly from canned corn and loaded up with too much mayo.

The elotes is everything is with that they'll still good there is a very great Snowcones they are delicious I love the way they taste is a great deal and they give you very good save us and I learn how to say watermelon in Spanish it was caused Aguamelon or something like that anyway I forgot. read more

The shaved ice is very soft and creamy. Which is excellent but I think they put a little too much flavor juice in it and the flavors taste kinda strange like they come from Mexico. I dunno. I prefer Sugar Mountain, but I'll still stop there if I'm in the area because the prices are good and the ice is delicous, maybe I just haven't found the right flavor yet. read more

I've been coming here for years and after moving away and coming back, I forgot what I was missing. They are cheap and huge snow comes with lots of syrup usually. Recently I discovered their elotes and they are so sooo good! In fact, I haven't gotten a shaved ice the past few times I went! Delicious. read more

Snowcones are awesome. Their corn is also pretty good for the boiled kind. They are very generous with the condiments. I order mine without the Valentina. read more

This has been my favorite snow-cone place to go to since I was 3 years old (I am 20). Their snow is not chunky or clumpy, the machine they use makes the snow just melt in your mouth with the syrup. They have a large variety of flavors to suit any person's preferences! It is also cheaper than competitors like bahama bucks. read more

I love going to TC Shaved Ice. It's in my barrio so I can't go wrong. They have ton's of flavors and is not like St. Louis shaved ice where you run out of flavor/juice and left with dilluted ice. They give you a lot of flavor/juice per the amount of ice so it's good til the end. The ice consitency is usually very smooth like a soft serve ice. I'm a big fan of the magonadas. Just remember to bring cash they don't take cards! read more

This review is based solely on the elote, not the best in plano but not the worst. Spice was lacking and they use mayonnaise instead of crema. The other downside to TC is they are cash only which is a bummer on a hot day when a shaved ice would be great then you realize you only have plastic in your wallet. read more

My absolute favorite snocone stop. They are the best in the area and I sometimes refuse new places because I know how great theirs are. The have many, many flavors and the price is perfect. The service is quick with two drive thru lines and a walk up window. read more

Shaved ice snow cones and variations with ice cream -- super! Also, they have elotes (corn cups) if you want a snack.

The best shaved ice in D/FW. The best. I have to drive past a dozen other "snow cone" joints to get here but it's always worth it. Yes, there's a wait because magic takes time but the prices are way lower than most of their competitors and their product is superior. Never stingy with the syrup, always the perfect consistency, and the best way to survive August (or April) in Texas. Go there now. read more
