Sno flavors Menu
Amanda C.

My new go to for a guilt free dessert! The sno is such a great way to stay cool during the Arizona heat! Loved the natural flavors and it was not too sweet! The coconut and mango flavors were fresh and authentic to their flavors. Get this Hawaiian style! Andrew and Susie were so friendly and welcoming!

This place is 100% customizable. There are many different sizes, syrups, and toppings. They have a lot of recommendations if you don't know where to start. Prices are fair, and the service was extremely sweet. There are places to sit inside the shop, and it's very colorful and fun.

Tables have holes for the cups so kids don't spill them!! Ingenious!

In the heat of summer, let this be your oasis! The ice is shaved super finely and they have a smorgasbord or flavors to choose from. I chose to make mine Hawaiian style (a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the bottom and coconut cream on top) with strawberry syrup. It was refreshing and delicious. If you want only ice cream, they carry a locally made brand that had a ton of flavor options. Hubby ordered a scoop of birthday cake and I was skeptical.... It was amazing. The tables here have holes in them to place your cup in so it doesn't fall over or spill. Parents, rejoice! They've thought of everything.

Ice cream and sorbet flavors

What a great family run business! It is a fabulous addition to the neighborhood. The staff were so friendly and helpful. We got ice cream and snocones and they were delicious. Inside there are a few clean tables and a pretend talking parrot! This is a family friendly treat spot for sure!

Today after school, I promised my little one a treat and stumbled upon a new spot--Tropical Snow--and oh. my. goodness... I think I just found my new obsession! From the moment we walked in, the customer service was AMAZING. I got to meet not only the friendly employees but also the owners, Susie and Andrew, who were so warm and welcoming. I ordered the Bahama Mama Hawaiian style shaved ice, and I couldn't help ordering it because it reminds me of a drink I'm familiar with -- and let me tell you, it did not disappoint! Creamy, flavorful, and absolutely perfect for this Arizona heat. I'm already dreaming about my next visit because I know I'm going to become a regular. Tropical Snow, you've got a forever fan in me!

Fun new locally owned Tropical Snow location! Great service and atmosphere. Delicious flavors and they'll do any combo you ask for.

If you are craving a creamy-rich shaved ice cream pleasure, you must visit Tropical Sno & Creamy. I had the Strawberry Shortcake Hawaiian Ice and it was literally the best chill-out snack ever. I can't wait to go back again to try their other recipes. They also have 18 flavors of locally own, Karen's Ice Cream. It was a pleasure meeting you Susie & Andrew.

Treated myself to a cool treat this evening cherry ice with chocolate custard and boy did it got…read morethe spot! Cherry is my favorite flavor. Normally I get sugar free but today I cheated. The Chocolate custard was delish. They do even have a sugar free option which I will get next time. The young lady working there tonight was very nice and quick in filling both walk in and on line orders. The place has a cozy feeling tables where you can enjoy your Ice and play games they have. Family friendly and great for date nights. With it coming down in the evenings it's a great place to sit outside and chat.

I go to the dry cleaners located right next door to this Rita's Italian Ice & Frozen Custard…read morelocation, so it had been on my list for a while. I stopped by on a week day after picking up my dry cleaning. They also share the parking lot with Wingstop, Nektar, a Japanese restaurant, and several other businesses. You won't have a problem finding a spot in their free lot. Ambiance (3/5): Pretty much your standard dessert spot. Relatively small. A couple of tables. Lots of white. The only issue? The table I sat at was sticky. When a place serves Italian ice and custard, it's important to wipe down the tables frequently. It's easy for them to get dirty. Service (4/5): You order at the counter and they'll make it for you right then and there. I asked the cashier a few questions and she did a good job answering them. For something like this, your order will be ready quickly. Drinks (N/A): They do have beverages on the menu but it was only dessert for me. Food (2/5): Here's where things fall apart. I'm not a frequent Italian ice kind of guy but I've heard of Rita's. It's a long-time player in the industry. So I had an expectation in my head. I recently went to an Italian ice spot in Houston called Jeremiah's and absolutely loved it. There's something to be said for a mix of creamy ice cream and refreshing Italian ice. Based on the size of your Italian ice, you have a certain number of flavors you can add. I like a variety so I went with quite a few. The variety is nice. The problem? The quality of the Italian ice. It tasted quite artificial overall, regardless of the flavor. Comparing it to my experience with Italian ice in the past, there was a clear difference in flavor. To the point where I viewed my purchase as a waste of money.

We were visiting Phoenix for the first time and a local friend recommended checking this ice cream…read moreshop. I didn't have high expectations since how great could ice cream really be? And boy, was I wrong when I got a sample of the mango sticky rice. It felt sinful and an ice cream experience like no other. The prickly pear sorbet was also unique and refreshing. I'll definitely stop here whenever we return to the area!

Ok I'm not trying to be rude and take cheap shots for the sake of a review...but I don't get it? I…read moredon't get the praise and stars for this place? We went to Sweet Republic after dinner for a pallet cleanser and saw the reviews and stars and was excited to drop by. The store itself was simple and had the feel of a regular ice cream parlor with bright colors and board full of possibilities. It seems that the selection is pretty diverse offering a nice selection of flavors that are "off the beaten path" such as crème brûlée, brown butter pecan, and salted caramel, along with normal ice cream staples. These were "fine" but not earth shattering. When we walked in there were three teens behind the counter and no welcome or really even acknowledgment of our existence other than we were in line. Despite the collection of flavors we seemed to annoy them and "put them out" asking to try some of the flavors. The truly disappointing part was the lack of generosity of the scoops. It is $4.50 for a single scoop and it is just that a scoop. One slide of the spoon and what ever fills the bowl of the spoon is what you get. So each scoop was a touch bigger than a golf ball. At the End of the Day, I don't like comparing but I'm used to the Valleys selection of Handels franchises where they are generous with their scoops (they brag about it) and generous with their customer service and friendliness. No need to come back with better offerings near by!
