    Strawberry cheesecake

    This place is amazing. I had the strawberry cheesecake (phenomenal). My husband and son had a smoreo shaved snow and loved it. The service was really nice and pleasant. It was peaceful inside. Highly recommend and will definitely be stopping by again when we visit the area!

Regardless of the exact number of possible flavors I doubt that you'll get through all the possibilities since making decisions is often hard, and making good decisions quickly is even harder, so I decided to keep it simple and ordered a large "tiger's blood" although the sour cherry and sour grape combinations were speaking to me which I hope to try in the near future, I based my decision today on the status quo bias and because it was extremely warm and humid out, or maybe it's my tendency to stick with what I know, instead of choosing something new and different. I often see the alternative as a risk or just not worth the trouble, even if it might be better, although after my first bite I wish I had ordered something different, but these are so refreshing I was somewhat happy with my decision. No matter what you're craving I doubt very many people go with their original choice after standing in line for more than a few minutes. Everyone's a kid when it comes to SnoBalls even the most sophisticated palette struggles when given more than a few choices so don't hold up the line and pick one we all are feeling the same anxiety. The staff here is very friendly, accommodating and understanding of the process - the prices are fair or at least manageable if you're a wet ice junkie. You probably should order one size larger than your thinking to eliminate any regret when the spoon scrapes the bottom of the cup...

I have not been here in a while so some things have changed. They got rid of the macarons display and replaced it with asian ice cream cooler freezer. They showcase the viral ice creams that tiktok drops time to time. They also added vending toy machines as well. The wall mural art also changed to a big bee in which to me was odd knowing quickly moto logo is a cow. But they supported a local art artists so I can respect that. The rewards system is based on your phone number. They have an array of drink toppings to choose from. They were out of mostly the egg puddings. I still like Quickly for the value - Since a few boba tea shops have closed such as Royal Tea.

The toppings added a nice crunch and freshness. The fries were perfectly seasoned the spicy seasoning is not joke there very spicy(keep a eye on it) and came out hot and crispy. The service was friendly and quick, and the overall vibe of the place was clean, relaxed, and inviting. Overall, great experience and definitely worth coming back for."

It has a light fluffy texture and is easier and lighter to eat! We tried a 4 mini sampler plate for $19 and were not disappointed. We got Twix, Mexican candy, strawberry cheesecake, and snow thaigher( thai tea). Our favorites were the Mexican candy and strawberry shortcake, we found the fruit flavors to be the most flavorful! The service was from the owners I believe, who were very kind and checked in on us to make sure we liked everything. We will be returning, possibly every time we go the river!

    It was an OK dessert experience I guess. I can see the appeal for some people, but it's probably…read morejust not for me. Interesting menu and lots of options that *sound* good though. Overall, I did find it expensive for what you get, and I feel there is some criticism here they need to accept: #1 - What we were served looked nothing like the pictures from the first 2 years they were open, in which the desserts are about 60% flavored ice and 40% toppings. What we got was about 97% shaved ice and 3% toppings. (Also, no whipped cream on the polar affogato). #2 - There is a teeny tiny sign on the back wall that you can barely read that states that all orders have a 10% gratuity automatically included. This sign is NOT visible from the cash register, and is 8 get away in 14-16 pt font. Clearly they don't want customers to see it.. Additionally, their POS system is asking you to add gratuity, even though they're already secretly auto-charging you 10% gratuity. That is flat-out disgusting. There was very little labor/time involved. So on top of the high prices, with greatly reduced toppings, they are encouraging people to pay upwards of 30% gratuity? For $8 flavored ice ready in 3 minutes? To make it worse, I'm sure the people working were the owners. Proprietors shouldnt be accepting or soliciting ANY tips at all.
