    There's nothing better than a cold shaved ice on a hot summer day. Unfortunately, hot summer days seem to be few and far between this summer. But Tropical Sno hasn't left for warmer climates. They still sit there in their iddy biddy transportable shack waiting for the line of kids to come devour their deliciousness. I heard that the lady who owns this place used to work in law but retired to run Tropical Sno because it was much more lucrative. I don't know if that's true, but if it is, I can see why, with the lines they have during hot weather. With more than 50 flavors, they have pretty much anything you could possibly want or imagine, and they let you mix. So there's that. I'm not gonna lie, I've added vodka to mine once or twice. It helps that I live directly across the street so I can turn it into a cocktail whenever I feel like it. My favorite is definitely the Tiger's Blood (strawberry coconut). And unlike the sno cones you get at the carnival, they're actually generous with the syrup here, so whether it's your first bite or your last, they all burst with sweet goodness.

    This is a small shack on Archer Avenue in Willow Springs. You can spot it by the long line that wraps around it! Shaved ice is the bomb-diggity!!! There are like 50 different flavors and a bunch of flavor combinations. I had the Mai-Tai on my last visit - yum!! They service up this tasty-guilt-free-treat in cups of size small, medium, and large. Price is reasonable. Such a refreshing treat on a summer day!! There is plenty of parking in the lot - so, go with a group and chill out in the parking lot with you ice!

    Great summertime shaved ice shack! Been here plenty of times... Seasonal, cheap and cash only, very tasty - there's tons of flavors and combinations to choose from, always crowded at all hours, lots of teenagers, very friendly employees, such a cute little joint with a few chairs and tables to relax at Love it :)))

    It is very good! I love the blurasberry! The only bad part is the line always takes 15 min to get through and it is only open for 3-4 months out of the year. The good part is that Its nice for any late night snack and it is very cheep and kills time.

    Rainbow sno!

    See all

    So I have to buy a large when I want two flavors and I have to pay with cash only? It's the 21st century, disgraceful.
