    Mangonadas
    Jamed K.

    Late July in northern Richmond reminds of my time on the Sun. It's hot. Really hot. I turned to Yelp for recommendations on cold treats. I was directed to the SPOT. Well, it really hit the spot. Wife and children all got traditional snow cones. I was intrigued by this concoction called the MANGONADAS. I'm so glad I got it. It's a life changer. Explosion of flavors, not too sweet. There is heat, there's salt, and a little sweet. The owner Denise was incredibly nice to me and my family. Genuine hospitality shown.

    Pina Colada with cream and a peach gummy!

    After having a bad experience at the ice barn, my friend recommended "The Spot". Literally hit THE SPOT! The ice was very soft just like New Orleans snow balls. The flavor was good, but I wish they had more varieties of sugar free flavor. Topping off your snow cone, they added this peach gummy to it!! Most places don't go above and beyond for you, but this one really set it off for me. Definitely one of my top choice to go for a snow ball now!

    Fresh mangonadas! Smoothie like texture!

    The sweetest people work here! And truly the BEST mangonada I have EVET had!!! Fresh mango and tastes divine!! Have a huge variety of things to choose from and I can't wait to come back and try more. Fun spot to take the kids and then let them run their sugar high off afterwards. Ha! Will be back!

    Summertime happiness. Rainbow with unicorn toppings is his new fave. And she just likes anything

    We adore this place. Being from The Caribbean and moving here from Louisiana. Bahama bucks just wasn't It for me. It was nasty and just not right. This is truly authentic and DELICIOUS

    Came here after the Ice Barn told us it was going to be a 40 mins wait when they had a full house staff. I been meaning to try The Spot for awhile now, but just never caught them at a good time. We ordered a medium watermelon and medium blue berry/pink lemonade. Both of them came with ring candy! The service was truthful and quick, even let us try a sample before ordering.

    Love coming here but Denise, one of the owners really was so nice to people ahead of us, one of them accidentally got sanitizer in his snow cone and she replaced it for them free of charge. So nice to see that in a small business :) Added a pic of the flavors too! Cute little stand :)

    Picadilly snow cone
    M G.

    I love how soft the snow cones are here! I haven't had anything else but a snow cone. I usually go for my favorite flavors. Except for the time I tried the Cherry picadilly (pickles) snow cone with koolaid. Yum yum yum. It was sour and sweet and delicious. My mouth waters just looking at the picture. Lol

    Staff is very friendly here. I got the mangonada and a strawberry sno cone. Both were yummmy. It was cold so she brought my items out to the car. So nice!

    Now we know why they call it "The Spot" ‼We tried 4 different treats and they were all delicious, my personal fave-Pina Colada
    Rachel S.

    "Hit the spot" as my son said right after we devoured our frozen treats!!! We tried the cookies & cream & the cotton candy concoction & 2 others, they were all delish & perfect remedy after football & tball games, will def be returning this summer

    Where is the Spot Snow Cones located? Went looking last week over by Travis High School?

    It's behind Harlem Rd BBQ on Harlem between Beechnut and W. Belfort. Same parking lot as storage units. Not far from The Amazon building.

    BEST SNOW CONES IN TOWN!! No place compares…read more I love it here. My family has been coming here for years, even after they switched from their original location. We are from Katy, and we gladly make the 30 min drive for these Snowcones. What stands out about this stand are 2 things 1. Quality 2. The Flavors The Machine they use to shave the ice is perfect. The ice is so clean and pillowy. Literally melts in your mouth, no crunchy ice. And they are not stingy with the syrup. I love that they layer the syrup and ice so the syrup distributes evenly throughout the cup. I also love that with each snow cone made, they make sure the cup is clean before handing it over. They have a great variety of flavors and toppings. My favorite being flavor is "Leche." Leche is one of their original flavors; no other stand has it. It's a creamy strawberry milk flavor, similar to Nesquik but SOOOO MUCH BETTER. You need to try this flavor at least once when coming out here. Little tip: To make it even richer/creamier, I would suggest adding condensed milk as a topping! Another favorite of mine is their specialty snowcone, " Diablito." Fresh lime juice, yes FRESH! lime juice, salt, and chili powder. Yeah, I know your mouth is watering just reading this. It sounds crazy, but if you love lime and Tajin, this snowcone is for you. In addition to snow cones, they have snacks for sale. Nachos, hot dogs, corn in a cup, etc. Plenty of parking, but it can get busy depending on the day and time. This place is pretty popular with the locals; people love it! FYI, there weren't any tables, just a couple of chairs for sitting. It can get hot depending on the time of day. We ate our snow cones in the car

She has so many flavors and ours were so good will definitely be back sooner than later

I usually get a small, and it always feels like a lot, which is a good thing because they really fill it up. It always feels worth the money. My go to order is the white coconut with condensed milk on top. It is very simple, but really good and always hits the spot. I usually go through the drive through, and the service there is good. The staff are nice and friendly, even when it is busy. As for the ambience, I don't spend much time inside since I normally use the drive through, but the one time I went inside it looked pretty nice. It just gets very crowded when there are a lot of people. Overall, great value and good service, but the long lines and crowding are what keep it at four stars for me.

We ordered the rocket bomb cup with the classic red, white, and blue flavors. For an extra dollar, they added on a mini rocket bomb popsicle. The shaved ice was smooth and absorbed the syrup well.

    Wow! I would never have expected to find such a fantastic snoball place in the old part of town…read morethat is Rosenberg. Let's just say we were very pleasantly surprised. The first and most important part of any snoball is the ice. Period. Ice must have that perfect texture: smooth, soft, fluffy and easily packed just like a real snowball. Bob's has it. None of that chunky, hard like a roughly chopped ice cube ice. This is THE snoball ice. Snoballs need flavor and they need sweetness but they need these in balance. Again, Bob's nails it. The flavors are of good variety and more are added and rotated. One of our favorite flavors we have tried is cherry and it was indeed very cherry, fruity and had the perfect amount of sweetness. On the recommendation of the guy working there we tried the orange creamsicle. Even though we always get our snoballs sans crème, we did order this particular one with the cream. Again, the guy working there assured us we would love it and that this is the best way to enjoy this flavor. He knew what he was talking about. It was exactly like a rich, cold dreamy creamsicle. Snoballs come in tiny, small, medium, large and extra large. There's a size for everyone and every appetite. Prices are reasonable. With the weather beginning to warm and yucky heat and nasty humidity just around the corner, a snoball can be very helpful. Bob's is worth the little drive out to Rosenberg.

    So good. I've tried so many flavors and combinations of mix ins and I'm so happy every time, like a…read morelittle kid at a candy store. You must try adding chili or cream or milk.
