My little one was craving shaved ice so we took her here. She loved it. My husband & his son jumped in. There were two young girls who helped us and they were the sweetest. One of them was extremely patient while my little one picked her flavors. We will be back for sure!!! read more

Service, I come on open hours and every time the store is locked, I have been able to get services 2 times, because every time I come between 2:30 and 3pm, after work they are closed no signed up saying they on lunch what time they coming back read more

Vayla's Gourmet Shaved Ice has to be our favorite spot for a frozen treat! It all started when my son became obsessed with snow cones because his school kept having a snow cone truck at events. So I looked for something similar at a brick and mortar location. Their shaved ice is basically like a snow cone and they have all types of different flavors. There's one that's really good called Rico Suave which has banana, coconut, condensed milk, and some other tropical flavors. But my go-to is mango with sour worms on top! read more

Great for a nice cold sweet treat! Good service and a wide variety of flavors and combinations to choose from. Not a lot of places to sit but it's located in the falls so you can definitely find sitting somewhere. read more

Let's be honest. Shaved ice isn't that hard to get wrong. Plus, it's expensive. I feel guilty spending so much on frozen water sometimes Lol. However, people seem to love it , regardless. So, if you like shaved us ( like my kids do), Vayla's is a good choice. They've got great flavor combos and the syrups themselves have a nice taste to them. A little bit beyond just the sugary syrup you often get with this type of dessert. Aside from that, service was great and they were exercising all precautions with the pandemic. Recommended. read more

You can't go wrong with some shaved ice on a hot sunny day here in South Florida. This spot offers a variety of flavors with a few toppings to choose from as well. Shaved ice has become a guilty pleasure of mine... Lol, it's definitely nostalgic especially if you grew up here in South Florida. If you find yourself in the Falls or are in the area this is a great place to satisfy your sweet tooth! I spent around $11 when I came with my boyfriend and we got a water bottle as well so it's definitely inexpensive. I highly recommend this spot. read more

I have never heard of a place that does snow cones. They usually sold on the side of the road or in the stadium. I was very impressed. They have a wide variety of choices of flavors and toppings. All flavors are not artificial flavors either. They even have flavors that don't dye your clothes too. Which is wonderful for children, and their clothes lol . Store located right by the Michael Kors Store in The Falls Mall... read more

We've all tried shaved ice but if you have and in the area go ahead and try this one, came in an hour before closing and good thing to because we had them explain the different flavors and toppings you can add to it read more

I love vaylas!!! Extremely friendly staff and affordable prices, not to mention the wide array of flavors and great quality shaved ice!!! Best shaved ice in miami and perfect for any event! read more

So I loved the texture of this shaved ice, very thin but heavy and dense. Not like a snow cone where it's bits of ice. The portions are huge! The small is almost like a quart of Chinese food. Price I guess is reasonable since it's trendy but overpriced for ice. There are plenty of flavors to choose from along with different combinations. There isn't really anywhere to sit inside or right outside. read more

Vayla's Gourmet Shaved Ice - Small blueberry with nerds and chocolate chips - Shaved Ice Near Me - Miami, Florida

The amazing combinations are so delicious. Its a wonderful treat especially in the Miami weather.

I tried really hard to love it and I think it had more to do with the flavor I picked vs anything else. I had the smores flavor and it just didn't taste right. My daughter had the blueberry and that was actually really good. The store is in the inside corner of the strip mall and I almost missed it, but it was very clean with lots of seating. I would have just liked a better explanation of the toppings and mix ins that I could of had. The guy there was very nice, but didn't really explain much even though he asked if it was our first time. Not giving up on Vaylas, going back for a different flavor and toppings. What are some of your favorite combinations? read more

My daughters favorite place!!! Can never go wrong with some shaved on in this Miami weather!

This was spectacular! Best shaved ice I've ever had , texture was sooooo amazing and the condensed milk is a must try over it Thanks ladies , looking forward to going back read more

Family ran business with great friendly service. They also have a shaved ice truck for events. I've used their truck multiple times and they appreciate their customers. read more

The shaved ice is so dense and soft it is my favorite treat on a hot summer day. Don't get fooled with ordering toppings it take away from the simple ice experience. Stick to simple flavor combos and skip the toppings. The best part is that cold crunchy ice! read more

Yeah, um....No. First of all I just paid $8 for ice with Hershey syrup on it. Seriously? Besides that it was $8.01 and the girl couldn't count back the change. Really? She said.... I haven't had Calculous in a while! Calculous!? It's called subtraction and addition! We learned it way back in what 2nd grade? This place is doomed to failure. read more

Very friendly staff, array of flavors and very cute location. Love their premade to go cups and my kids love the rainbow flavor.

The best shaved ice treat I've ever had in Florida. A zillion different flavors. It was a real treat. Now I have to invent reasons to go back to the Falls. read more

AMAZING gem located in the heart of kendall, nestled right in between two awesome dinner spots - tacos & tattoos and pizza project!! Vayla's shaved ice is just what Miami needed right in time for the summer heat. If you have ever been to Hawaii these shaved ice are perfect summer treats and Vaylas knows how to make them just right. So many flavors to choose from we had a hard time selecting - we got a simple cherry- that is always just perfect. a banana/chocolate shell - i was hesitant but went on a limb and am so glad i did, WOW it was so so soooo good. and the kids had rainbow which was a hit - my 3 yr old was upset at us for trying his without asking permission bc he wanted to eat it ALL by himself!! The service was super friendly and the place was spotless clean. We are glad to have this close to home and will be back again real soon!! read more

Omg this place I loved I bump into it when I went to the fall. Let me tell you the owner Kim she amazing . All the shave ice is high corn syrup free. Is sugar cane. I must say u tried samples of a few flavors and horchata won my heart!!!!! Am Honduran cuban and in Honduras we drink it but this one is an in between the Mexican one and honduras. Best part is baby friendly! Must take your kids here am part the group Miami moms read more

Absolutely love this place. Family owned and you feel it as soon as you enter, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Not your regular shaved ice spot, it's very high end from the containers it comes in to the intense flavor selection (many to choose from, check out the arroz con leche combo) will be our new weekly treat from now on. read more

THIS PLACE IS GREAT!!! My daughter LOVES shaved ice, so after our lunch at Taco's and Tattoo's, we stopped here. I was honestly impressed with the flavor selection, as well as all the various toppings. I didn't know you could do so much with shaved ice. My daughter left happy, and I did too. Hope this place stays for a long time! read more

Yummy!!! The shaved ice was just the right balance of fruity and sweet. But the best part is the creamy ice cream that is nestled underneath the refreshing bundle of tasty and colorful snow. By the time you reach the ice creamy it has been infused by the flavor of the ice on top leaving you with a super creamy version of the flavor you chose. My husband myself and my baby loved it. I look forward to returning on those upcoming hot Miami summer days. read more

So happy this gem opened right on time for spring! Vayla's took "snow cones" to another level, hence why it's called "shaved ice". It's as soft as snow. I love the cherry with nerds topping. So refreshing. Fun place has a wall for photos. Friendly staff & quick service. read more

Doesn't even deserve a star. Extremely overpriced. They'll charge you $8 for a cup of chemicals which cost less than 2-30 cents. I will never ever come back to this place. read more

The shaved ice is really smooth and they have a huge variety of flavors and toppings! It's also one of the only places that offers anisette as a flavor. Would highly recommend if you're looking for a sweet treat! read more

Excellent quality of products. None of their products have corn fructose syrup so it's a great choice for desert. Very healthy and fun. The place it's so beautiful and the employees are so nice to customers. Specially Jonathan. The owners should be proud of such a successful, unique and awesome business as well as their employees. read more

Vayla's Gourmet Shaved Ice - Shaved Ice Near Me - Miami, Florida

Love this place!!! There are a variety of yummy flavors, it takes me back to my childhood days. Highly recommend it!

I'm a big fan of shaved ice and went in one day with my sons. As much as I had high hopes for it, the shaved ice was not my favorite. We ordered two small Rainbows which had icing and sprinkles on top. But it was just too much sugar! My kids ate a few bites of the shaved ice but mainly concentrated on the toppings. After the toppings were gone they didn't want any more of the shaved ice. It's not the same course texture of granizados. Possibly the too fine shaved ice caused it to melt in about 30 seconds and leave a liquid syrup of colors. I really wanted to like it but I'm just not a fan of their version of shaved ice. read more

Kimberly and Shawna... have done a wonderful job at setting this diamond in Kendall! I called as I found them by mistake and told Shawna the shaved ice I was used to was from this guy down in Key West (I am as stationed in the Naval base) when I came back from dY or ops I went to have an Orange, Lemon with Anis. It was awesome and I never found a place that could be comparable - No more! I found it!!! Thanks Kimberly and Shawn. Wishing you much success. read more

This place is awesome! It's not too sugary or sweet; it's a very refreshing dessert option.

Incredible shaved ice. Try the Rico with condensed milk and dulce de leche. Best raspado ever read more
