It's not Hawaii but it hits the spot if you're craving Hawaiian shaved ice. Plus Thrifty ice cream!

GROSS & EXPENSIVE. The water they use for the ice taste like the dirtiest tap water I have ever had. It over powers any flavoring added. It was so gross I took 3 bites and threw the rest away. The staff looks miserable and no one says a word to you other than asks how you'll be paying. The prices for dirty water are extremely high. read more

Best ice cream (Thirfty) in Upland. Shaved ice is pretty good too Great customer service and the inside is always clean. My kids love this place. read more

This is my favorite place! I don't know why it's taken me this long to review it. I come here every time I'm in the area (and sometimes when I'm not) with family and friends when we're missing Hawaii and are craving shaved ice! A small cup is the perfect size for me, honestly. I love the way it's served; perfect for eating on the go and you get a good ratio of ice to ice cream in each bite. I usually order off of their combo menu, but my family has made their own combinations in the past. They're ALL good. Plus, they also have a few sugar free options if you need them. They offer punch cards as well to earn a free small cup of shaved ice. I have 2 because I always forget mine . You get double punches on Tuesday's and Thursday's! Love it!! Wish I was there right now. read more

Below Zero Shaved Ice - How delicious does this look?! The yellow one is piña colada and the blue one is a mixed combo. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Upland, California

Perfect spot for all things frosty! First of all, they serve Thrifty's Ice Cream, with all of your favorite classic flavors. So if that's all you want, you can get a scoop in a cup or a cone. They also have shaved ice with many flavors and toppings in three sizes. Their specialty, however, is a combo of the two. My husband had the "Big Stick" flavor that called to mind orange creamsicles of the past. It was really good. I went with my go-to shaved ice flavor, cherry and pineapple with a condensed milk topping. The consistency of the shaved ice is just how I like it, with the ice ground very fine but still a little rough. Syrup was applied evenly and just right, with the topping of condensed milk thick enough to seep through several layers. I thoroughly enjoyed it. My husband had a punch card from our first visit so we added some more to that. Not sure what happens when it fills up, haha. This is located in a small strip mall, and so you really are only coming here for shaved ice. No walking and browsing before or after. Totally worth it, though. read more

My family has been coming here for years. I love that they have Thrifty ice cream and my kids love the shave ice. My only complaint is the owner is always so grumpy and rude. One time or even two times is one thing, but every time is too much. She should appreciate her customers and be kinder and smile sometime! read more

This place is awesome! My girlfriend and I go all the time. Delicious and inexpensive! My favorite is the Root beer float, classic and super tasty. Great service and a cheap date spot! Definitely worth checking out! Can't wait for my next visit!!! read more

Love this place! My daughter loves shaved ice and discovered this place on yelp. Lived in the area for 20 years and never knew this place was here. The owner is extremely nice and made great suggestions. I love the shaved ice/ice cream combo and their churro sundae is the bomb!!! Very creative menu items but you can also have a custom creation if you choose. Always great to support a local family business. I highly recommend this place. read more

I'm sorry. Maybe I have a high standard for my shaved ice.. I feel as though this place is nice.. but i don't think i would ever crave it or drive far for it.. .. I've had WAY better =/ it's a bit over priced for a small thing of shaved ice, but i guess they need it to pay rent... their ice isnt fluffy or special or thinly shaved =/ i feel as though i can make it at home... ... i gotta given them brownie points for having a huge variety of flavors though... and they have signs up about their deals on tuesdays and thursdays the service here is mediocre and i don't get why they have to make it so MESSY!! shouldnt they be pro by now and make it cleanly... every person basically leaves with sticky hands and syrup dripping from their cup =/ i rather pay more somewhere else for better quality shaved ice .. .. read more

Had VERY low expectations- Shave Ice in UPLAND??? I envisioned those sno-cones you get from the Ice Cream Trucks where the 'ice' is hard rocky pebbles... WAS I WRONG!!! Below Zero was the closest thing to Hawaiian Shave Ice I've had in a LONG time- definately the best you'll find in the Inland Empire! Yes, it's in a strip mall in the junkier part of Upland, but don't let that keep you from giving it a try! The ice is shaved like 'snow', & they have a ton of flavors... from local favorites like 'Tigers Blood', to haolified new ones like 'Red Velvet Cake'! Now that summer's in full swing, make sure you take the kids and give it a try- ONOLICIOUS! read more

I love love love this spot! Their shaved ice is to die for! The woman that owns the shop is the sweetest! My favorite things on the menu are the rainbow shaved ice with sweetened condensed milk and the chamango shaved ice! read more

We drove out from Fontana to grab some shaved ice yesterday since our local spot at Victoria Gardens is closed. Totally worth the drive!! Flavors are good and the texture of the shaved ice was perfect. We got size small and they were way too big for us to finish. All in all... great stuff! read more

Went in today (Saturday) and it was busy! Not my first time here but it had been a while since I've had a delicious shaved ice from them. First of, I love this place. As busy as it was, the young girl in the cash register has an amazing attitude and treats every single customer with great enthusiasm and makes you feel very welcomed. The women making the shaved ice is also very polite and thanks every customer, overall great customer service which is what keeps me coming back. I always purchase a combo shaved ice which has a scoop of ice cream and shaved Ice on top. Big stick combo is my favorite! read more

I had the cherry cola #6 I believe and it was fantastic. Reminded me of the cherry cola you can get from "The Hat" or any old school burger joint. The shaved ice was shaved so fine every bite was undoubtedly flavorful. Meaning you don't end up with just ice. My 3 year daughter had the rainbow Ice with a cotton candy topper with sprinkles. I though this is gonna be a hot mess. To my surprise it was magical. Again super spritzed of the quality of the shaved ice. I'm certain it's what's made the whole thing. Lastly we got the classic banana split, it looked so good I didn't want to close it up in the box. Check them out! read more

BZSI has delicious flavors and a great shave on its ice. We only went for the shaved ice this time (remember: this was the Friday-Saturday of July that was 110+...) and the sweetness and the chill matched our need for getting cooled off. Wife had root beer, watermelon, and piña colada; I had the classic: cherry and cola: both extra large: way too much for us. Noticed you could have both shaved ice and ice cream buried inside: excellent. They also had a suggested menu for combinations, and that's for my next visit...which could be tomorrow. Also: I came over before 1 PM, and it was pretty chill getting in and out, so I'm guessing that later on it gets crazy. read more

My favorite place to destress with the babies. Always made to perfection. I would suggest the ice cream and snow cone mix.

Today I came by to get some shaved ice. I got the big stick combo and my daughter got the rainbow and my husband got the chamango. Omgeee! It was so delicious and refreshing, especially with the heat it was a perfect treat. The prices are reasonable and the portions are perfect. read more

Discovered this place by accident while picking up takeout tacos next door. Place was very clean and following covid restrictions with distance between customers and masks. I love the Chamango shaved ice!!! It's the perfect mix of sweet, spicy, sour, and salty. It's mango shaved ice, topped with chamoy and tamarind. I also got watermelon sorbet in mine! Such a delicious dessert on a hot day. read more

This place is small, but it offers enough room for you to sit and relax while you dive into the amazing different flavor a which let me say I didn't know where to start. The most popular is the number 3 which I had you can choose from any ice cream you want and any flavor which there is a about 13-17 pre made options or you can creat to your liking. Let's say this place has the best customer service ever, and they have no problem going through the menu for all of us first timers who are so overwhelmed by the many options you have. I came in with a smile, and I left with a smile, you can never go go round with great customer service, and on top of that great Hawaiian shaved ice cream. I will definitely be coming back, my whole family enjoyed. Thanks! read more

Shaved ice was delicious and had many options, also being able to add condense milk or ice cream was a new one for me. Problem was when I called they told me there only taking to-go orders until 8:00 and when I arrived I saw multiple families sitting down and even more walking in and sitting down. Also for being an ice cream/shaved ice place their was no a/c which made it pretty warm in there for being a day the temperature had rose to 109 and is currently still 93. read more

They are the best! Im a total addict. Friendly staff and so many different flavors to choose from. Im a customer for life!

YUM! My grandma took all of us (her grandchildren) here on 8/24 and it was the best shaved ice! I got the ice cream/shaved ice combo #12 and it was delicious. This place reminds me of a place I love that's in Escondido that's called Baltimore Snowballs. So yummy! read more

Pretty great shaved ice! Definitely hits the spot on a hot day. Be warned, the sizes are HUGE and I could not finish the small - especially after eating lunch. Best with ice cream and condensed milk. The flavor choices of ice cream are pretty cool and unique, as I've never seen another place with Animal Cookie flavored ice cream. But I was a bit disappointed that they didn't have lychee flavored shaved ice syrup. The workers are super friendly and the shop is decorated really cute, with beachy decorations and a "space-y" feel - hence, the "Below Zero" name. Oh, and the best part was that Toy Story was playing! read more

1st timer at below zero. Was craving some chamango and this was the next best thing... So I hear. The guy working the front was super nice and has the gift of gab. There was another lady manning the shaved ice. I think it would've serve them better to have another employee on hand. Especially since its been so hot lately, I'm sure they've had a lot of foot traffic. They got an extra star because the were playing TMNT circa 1990. So the wait was bearable. Oh and The shaved ice was good!! I got vanilla ice cream (thriftys) w/ mango and watermelon shaved ice topped with chamoy and tajin! Yum! read more

I love this place. Always have friendly service & am never disappointed. Great ice cream and shaved ice!

This place has been such a gem ever since I found it! My daughter and I go at least once a week usually on the weekends cuz we crave it constantly! Their shaved ice with vanilla ice cream combination is genius. I tried it one time in Arizona and had been looking for a place here in Cali and luckily found this one and it did not disappoint. Also the staff is super nice and professional! I see a woman there every time I go, & if I had to guess I would say she's either a manager or the owner and she is such a sweetheart along with all the other employees. I would've posted a pic but i wasn't able to go today because they closed early for Labor Day but i was pushed to make this review because of the polite and friendly demeanor the woman had who answered the phone (sounded like the lady I said earlier who I think is the owner) and was willing to stay open if I was close by but I live a little far. 10/10 recommends you all to try this place, highly doubt you'll be disappointed. Even the shaved ice is more fluffy and not rough like most raspado/shaved ice places are. I'll also add that the first time I went there, there was a weird taste like if I they used sink water to make the shaved ice, so I made the suggestion that maybe their water filter needed to be changed or something needed to be cleaned and I assume they took it into consideration and I gave them another chance and it's tasted great ever since! read more

I went there yesterday and got a #9. It was soooo DELICIOUS! I don't think I've had anything like that before. I've lived here so long and have never tried it. I went in there yesterday when I went to Miche Linda's (Very good also). The lady which I'm assuming is the owner was very nice to everyone there. I felt comfortable and welcomed. Will definitely be back. Thank you read more
