Ok, I may lose my Baltimore residency for this…read more Way. Better. Than. Sno-Balls. Way. Better. The consistency of Hula Honey's summertime treats puts all sno-balls to shame. Their shaved ice is like a fine snow that almost evaporates on the tongue, leaving a huge burst of tasty tasty flavor. And speaking of flavors, you won't find the rainbow assortment here. Honey's has less than a dozen, I'd wager. But in addition to the usual standbys, they have several "organic" flavors, made with cane sugar and natural flavors. I actually broke with personal long-standing tradition and passed up blue raspberry for the organic peach flavor, and boy howdy was I rewarded. Major peach punch-the-face with evaporating snow iciness. Delicious. Add to that, the cutest food truck ever, although you probably shouldn't call it a truck. Honey's is a bright yellow converted Bajaj auto-rickshaw. Easy to spot, but if you're not sure, look for the fat man running after it like a kid to the ice cream truck. That would be me. Oh, and they don't have marshmallow fluff, so don't even ask. But if you're partial to that, you're hating on me by now anyway.

All i'm going to say is I had the opportunity to try Ono Wai Shave Ice while I visited Leesburg, VA…read morea couple of weeks ago and I'm ready to go back just for this sweet treat. We have so-called shave ice here in Boston but it's not like Ono Wai's. These are served with ice cream at the bottom - YUM- and a drizzle of sweet cream on top! It's like 2 desserts in one because by the time you get to the bottom, the flavored ice made the ice cream frosty and sweet - like a creamsicle- but better! The hardest part of ordering this little cup of heaven is choosing the flavors - they have 25 - and apparently they are imported from Hawaii. Thankfully, my family ordered different flavors so I was able to try a variety. They were all rich and flavorful. I'll be back Ono Wai - I'll be back!

From the owner: The product we offer is shave ice, which is a Hawaiian desert constructed by actually shaving a…read moreblock of ice into a fluffy texture. Unlike a snow cone, the fluffy ice absorbs the shavings versus surrounding it at the bottom of the cup. This makes for a much more flavorful experience. The ice is then flavored with one of 25 syrups we offer. Some patrons opt to have ice cream placed in the bottom of their shave ice flower cup and top the flavored shavings with a sweet cream. Shave ice is a delicious, affordable treat! FYI....we operate a mobile unit. Follow us on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram to stay up-to-date on our vending location.

Their portions are HUGE - I got a small and I could still only manage half of it. It's shaved ice so it's not gourmet but the syrup flavors are pretty nice. I would have loved to try one of their sundaes but that seems like a two person job lol. Next time I go back, I'll plan to split one and try the pizza next door.

I found out about crushed velvet from TikTok and thought it looked super cool. I went on a Saturday…read moreso it was pretty lively. There was live music and dancing which I think was part of a kids program or class. You can play pool or just chill under the tent and watch tv. There was a baseball game playing when I went. The checkered spot was there serving brews as well. This is a dog friendly environment as well as kid friendly. When I got there they had just taken a break. Probably to clean the equipment and refresh the supplies. So although I did wait a long time on a very hot day I can't say it was because of bad service. The staff was actually pretty nice and kept apologizing for the wait. Prices are average. They offer custom made syrups which I will try on the next trip. This trip was to get the rainbow that I saw in TikTok. The snow ball itself was really big. What I didn't like was the container. Although it was perfect to display my rainbow, I feel like it wasn't big enough to hold the contents. And my snowball melted fast so it was a little soupy in the bowl. Silver lining is that the container is eco friendly. Parking is difficult here. There is a tiny lot but only 5 cars can fit at once and it seems tightbto get in and out of there. I did get lucky and found street parking very close. But if all else fails, there is a parking lot across the street if you don't mind paying or plan to be in the area a while.

Super kind and patient staff and I assume the owner too who we talked to that was super excited for us to try hers.

Shout out to the mango too, it's my mother's favorite and has made her come back 3 times since we tried it for the first time 2 weeks ago.

Came to get dessert and tried the mango bingsoo. While the menu says it is mango snow, it was…read moreactually just regular milk snow. Toppings in the bowl include mochi, mango jelly, and mango cubes. On top is some mochi, mango slices, and a scoop of passion fruit sorbet. There is mango sauce and condensed milk throughout the bowl. The staff spent a lot of effort to make the bowl pretty and did a nice job of mixing the ingredients so that you don't have toppings on top only. The shop seems cute and there seems like there would be more things available when the owner is in. They have lunch boxes that look good. They also have takoyaki on the menu but the machine is currently down. One thing that I didn't like is that the item was different from the menu description. I was expecting mango snow and mango ice cream or sorbet. It's not the end of the world but I picked this one in particular because it was supposed to be mango snow. While the bingsoo is large enough to share, I also feel it is priced a bit high for what it is. Might be because there aren't many other laces like this in the area but bingsoo is usually bigger or less pricey. Overall, a decent stop for dessert if you want something a little different. Street parking was not that hard to find when we went.
