The snow cones were good. Unfortunately the Service was not. Young teens working were very unkind and rude while simply ordering, and over charged for add ons they weren't even offering. Won't be returning this season due to horrible customer service. read more

Give me everything on the menu!! My husband accidentally stumbled on this place after missing the 116th exit and I am so glad he did! This is a traditional shaved ice that melts in your mouth with a TON of flavor. And let's talk about the flavor selection. They had an entire board of flavor combinations and they were not just adding syrup, but also toppings! Talk about options! I am now asking for a stop here every time we pass by because I need to try all the flavors! read more

Hooray for shaved ice! This is the powdery, melt-in-your-mouth kind of snow cone that is popular in Hawaii (they call it shave ice). This little stand is set up on AAA Way and Carmel Drive, in the parking lot where The Urban Chalkboard used to be. They will be in this location for the summer of 2020. There are a couple dozen flavors and flavor combinations to choose from. You can choose up to three flavors for the same price, or you can pick one of their "popular concoctions," which are flavors like Bahama Mama (banana, strawberry and coconut), Purple Cow (grape and vanilla cream) or Summer Breeze (strawberry, watermelon and peach). You can get just straight-up shaved ice with a combination of flavors, or you can add cream to your snow cone (banana cream, vanilla cream, coconut cream or whipped cream + sprinkles), or syrup (caramel, chocolate or something called a "sour spray.") Prices are pretty decent: $3.29 for a small, $3.79 for a medium, and $4.29 for a large. The small is really small, but is a good size for kids. They take credit cards/debit cards and cash, but they prefer it if you pay with a card. I'm so glad that we have this little snow cone shack in Carmel for the summer! We'll be hitting it up lots, I'm sure. read more

Nothing sounds better to me on a hot day than a snowcone, so I was excited to find a spot open in Carmel! The flavor options were great, and the service was quick. The pricing was pretty comparable to other snowcone shops around the city. It is located in a parking lot with no seating, so I would plan to either eat it in your car or find a spot on the sidewalk under a shady tree. I will definitely be back if I'm in Carmel. read more

The best place for a refreshing summer treat. I was so excited when I saw that this little stand was set up. I grew up with a tropical sno in my hometown and it was a summer tradition. This location has all the classic flavors and you can create your own. I ordered the coconut lovers which made me feel like I was on a beach somewhere. I'll be back to try some of the other ones like tigers blood. There is plenty of parking but nowhere to really sit. Most people either sit on the curb or take it to their car. They serve it with an ice catcher so it's less of a mess no matter where you eat it. read more

We celebrated our wedding anniversary with a snow cone and a stroll in the park and Tropical Sno made the whole experience all the more tasty and fun. For starters, you'll find this small snow cone stand in the parking lot with a simple set up (really all the more you need for snow cones...). They offer three sizes of cones and an extensive lineup of flavor combinations with toppings available like coconut cream. I'm always a sucker for the pina colada combination with cream or ice cream added in. They don't offer ice cream but they do have coconut cream on the menu to take your cone to the next level. We also appreciated the vessels they serve the cones in (great for the mess that comes when it starts melting) and the spoons that changed colors when they're cold. The young man working was friendly and efficient. I appreciate that he put on a new set of gloves for each order since he was working alone and also working the payment system. The cherry on top for our experience was the pup cup which consisted of a snow cone with chicken broth and broken up dog bones. According to Betty Spagetty, it deserved five stars. read more

Tropical Sno is just up the street from my house! It's a fun pop-in when you need something cool and refreshing to hit the spot after a long day of yardwork. They have soooo many flavors!! I do wish more were sugar free. But they have something for everyone! It didn't take long for me to go with Pina Colada. My fav! It was nice and I just love the ice that melts in your mouth. The flavor was perfectly spread out and in every bite. I love the protector they put it in! The best part is enjoying your yummy treat and not getting any on you! I do wish they had some seats. read more

When I went to Tropical Sno the manager Leah was so nice. The snow cone flavors were amazing and delicious. It only took like two minutes for me to get my snow cone. read more

I'm giving three stars because the snow comb my sister and I had was pretty decent BUT the little girl who was working there was extremely rude! We got there five minutes before they open and we waited. The person who was working there didn't show up to work till about 4:59pm we waited for her to get set up. by 5:30 is still wasn't open so we went to go knock on the door and she came out screaming at us. I told her we were just trying to figure out what time they since the sign says you open at 5 but it's now 530. We were going to just leave but we had drove all the way from Avon. Like I said, snowcone was cool but will never return :) read more

Cute little locally owned shaved iced stand that we passed by and made a quick u turn to visit. It's in a corner of a shopping strip mall and hard to notice. Parking is where ever you can. It was also busy. We chose a medium and was gifted these big sno cones loaded with syrup. To much infact. The girl helping us was busy with a long line of customers but she was also on her i hime the entire time. On speaker phone too!! I was worried she'd get our order wrong. When ringing it up she charged me for extra for vanilla but it said I could choose three flavors and I only chose two. She. Asked she said yea you wanted sweet cream vanilla. No that is not what I asked for. Fixing it she finally got it right. My daughter hated hers. It had a very very bad aftertaste but mine was good. After awhile it did make my belly ache. But to much sugar does that to me. For two it was $10.50. Not really worth it considering my daughter didn't like hers. I would go again to support local and ask for less syrup. I did love the addition of sprinkles. Kinda cute. They were free to add too!! Must visit and support local for sure. read more

Went here for nostalgia of snow cones 20 years ago. Left with flavorless ice and the wrong flavors. Easiest job in the world and they still mess it up. I will not have a bad snow one memory overlapping my nostalgia. Stupid little kids. Diaf. read more
