There it is ! The best summer snow cone you'll ever have!!!
Elaine V.

This hawaiian snow cones are so delicious. I love how they have the vanilla ice-cream scoop in the bottom! The flavors are all so delicious! Good luck picking which one to get. I got the Pina Coladalada Loved it!

Lots of choices for a cold shaved ice. In fact it may take you 10 to 15 minutes to figure it out. Offspring made it simple and had one scoop of vanilla and chocolate syrup. Has a parking lot vibe because it is located in a parking lot. No inside seating but that is fine. Small line on a Saturday afternoon. All good here.

Small size. Cherry, tiger blood, and blue raspberry. Perfect for the Arizona heat.

In 100+ degree weather, Tropical Sno is the place to go to cool down with some Hawaiian shaved ice. So many flavor options/combos to choose from. For the price/sizes they offer you can't be mad. I'm more of a classic flavor kind of girl so cherry, tiger blood, and blue raspberry are the way to go. Love how soft the ice is and the flavors are really tasty. I wish they would have a covered patio with more seating to enjoy your shaved ice outside of the sun but other than that, I always make sure to make a stop here on vacation.

It's a perfect summer treat. It was really good and they have a lot of different flavors to choose from. Def reminds me of Hawaii quality, and you can get them Hawaiian style with ice cream underneath. Priced well, would def come back!

No ice cream thus time...watermelon/tangerine

Very refreshing midday treat. I got a small, but medium would be better choice. Tangerine and mango and coconut cream tasted fine and Hawaiian style is ok, but not needed next time. Reasonable prices. Ate in parking lot.

We had been on the hunt for a good old shaved ice place and realized this wasn't too far away. How have we missed this? Set up in the corner of a strip mall parking lot, this tiny building has a walk up window and a bench on the side for you to enjoy your creation if you don't want to get it to go. Nice girl was working when we arrived. Three sizes (I couldn't even finish a small... just saying) and sooooo many flavors. They have a list of special flavors which are predetermined combos or you can create your own. I went with the shark attack (blue Hawaiian, cherry and shark gummies) but I had to get gummy bears since they were out of gummy sharks. Still a cute idea though, especially for kids. My girlfriend got a medium half mango half green apple. She was so excited to come here because she was looking for a place for awhile. She said it was absolutely perfect and she wants to come back immediately! The spoons change color when they get cold, and the plastic tray helps avoid messiness and melting drips getting all over your hands. I was really impressed! I'd recommend this place for sure.

Great place and great service!! The snow cones tasted great!!!! The ice was perfect and the flavors were SOOOOOO GOOD!! Only thing I would have changed is asking for a little less syrup next time. I couldn't eat the bottom part because it was TOO sweet! Lol but I'd definitely go back whenever I come back to Scottsdale!

Just me and a bee  enjoying some shaved ice .

What a pleasant surprise! We stumbled upon this AWESOME place. It's now my new favorite. There was a line so I figured it was pretty popular. What makes it popular though is the great taste and quality of the shaved ice. The customer service was great and the place is very clean. Restaurant rating is an "A" so when I saw that I stopped the car. Thanks for fun experience. Will definitely be back...and spread the word about this hidden gem. Oh and I even met a little friend (bee) that hung out with me and enjoyed my mango strawberry shaved ice.

Shaved ice
Sally R.

I love this place! Shaved ice is my favorite and I will only go to Tropical Sno! They have TONS of flavors and flavor combination options. They also have sauces and candy to put on top and ice cream for the bottom. I highly recommend asking them to pack the ice down to make it a little harder- otherwise it's very soft ice like ice cream. I also recommend getting pop rocks on top! I only get the sugarfree flavors and they usually have 3 sugar free flavors on hand. I wish they had more sugarfree options to choose from (it's usually pineapple, cherry and tigers blood) I'd love to see lemon, raspberry and coconut! I get A LOT of snocones from here so I go through the punch cards. The workers are always friendly and I rarely have to wait in a line. Tropical Sno is the best! Update: they were almost out of sugarfree pineapple flavor and said they were going to make another sugar free flavor to replace it and let me pick from the flavor options!!! I chose sugar free passion fruit. Yum!!

No complaints this way! My boyfriend and I were visiting from Dallas and had to stop! Lauren was super badass and suggested some amazing flavors. A must try!

Ran out of ice and used wrong kind of ice from Circle K. More like a slushy. First and last time for me. Very disappointing.

We've worked our way through what feels like almost the entire dessert case over the years, and I can honestly say I've yet to find something I didn't love. Every pastry is beautifully crafted, incredibly fresh, and tastes like it was made with so much care. This visit was all about the cannoli, and let me just say... craving officially satisfied! The shell had that perfect crisp snap, while the filling was silky, rich, and just the right amount of sweet. It was everything I had been dreaming about and then some. Walking into The Sicilian Baker always feels like stepping into a little slice of Italy. Between the gorgeous display of desserts and the irresistible aroma of fresh pastries, it's nearly impossible to leave with just one treat (don't say I didn't warn you! ). Whether you're stopping in for a post-dinner dessert, celebrating something special, or simply giving in to a sweet tooth like I did, this place is absolutely worth the visit. Every dessert we've tried has been phenomenal, and this cannoli was another delicious reminder of why we keep coming back. Sweet craving? Check. Happiness? Double check.

I ended up choosing gelato and I got the peanut butter cookie flavor (amazing!). The French sea salt chocolate chip cookie my husband got was heavenly. The double chocolate gluten free cookie my bestie got was also amazing! They have plenty of parking (unlike the restaurant across the street where we had lunch) and our party of four sat outside at one of several tables. This place is wonderful and I'd return in a heartbeat.

I especially want to compliment Libby. I didn't realize the store wasn't very stroller-friendly because of the tight spaces, but Libby took the time to help me navigate the store while I shopped. She also told me about upcoming events, including their wine tasting. I had the chance to try their seasonal pumpkin spice drink, and it was delicious! I'm usually not a pumpkin spice fan, but I'm so glad I tried it. It had the perfect amount of flavor without being overly sweet. If you're a mama visiting with a little one, I recommend using a baby carrier or placing a pickup order. If you live nearby, I'd also suggest walking over because parking can be limited. Overall, I had a wonderful experience and definitely plan to return to try their food and do more shopping!
