    DEFINITELY TRY OUT THIS LOCAL HIDDEN GEM! Solid sno ball place, I've been wanting to try one of these for a long time. After trying it, I prefer these flavors over traditional American ones. I would definitely recommend this place if you haven't tried a Louisiana Sno Ball or if you just want a good sweet treat during the summer! Tips: -They may close early.. no website so it's a hidden gem (Come before 7 PM) -Try unique flavors like Wedding Cake, it's a Louisiana classic! -There's always a flavor combo everyday!

    The shaved ice here is so good. I love that they use fresh fruits in their syrups. I have been looking for a shaved ice place just like my favorite place in Hawaii and they did not disappoint at all. Great value and friendly service.

    Two smalls - coconut lime (l) and cherry (r).

    What it lacks in curb appeal, being this little truck in a gas station parking lot at Franconia Road and Grovedale Drive by the DMV, it more than makes up for by being a tasty value. It's not snow cones but more sorta flavored snowy slush you eat with a spoon - wet snow rather than icy crunch. Fairly deep menu of mostly fruit flavors. I got coconut lime, Ladyfriend got cherry. Both had a lot of flavor. I especially liked the refreshing tartness of the lime. A $4 small is perfect; 50 cents more and the $4.50 medium looks like a hefty portion. Service was jackrabbit quick and perfectly good. Definitely going back.

    This guy turns away three customers so he can go outside and spit tobacco. Really?

There are many fresh options to choose from. The flavor profile was so tasty and distinct, I could not put it down! This is made with fresh fruit not fake sugar syrups. We will go out of our way to make this a regular stop whenever traveling in the region. Thank you for a perfect, delicious, refreshing treat. I highly recommend giving Emily's a try.

I spotted Uncle J's truck next to the country store and, even though I'm not typically a fan of snow cones, I decided to go ahead and get one. A small - to share with my 15-month-old daughter. I asked for a "three-color one" not really sure what flavors I'd get - I just wanted a pretty one, because "treat yourself" :) I was really surprised when I was handed a big, beautiful sno ball! He'd combined flavors I wasn't expecting (bubble gum, birthday cake, and I cannot remember what the red one was, but it was delicious). It was fantastic and huuuuge for a "small!" What really struck me was that it was such a different texture than the snow cones I have had in the past. That's because it wasn't a snow cone -- it was a sno ball! The ice shaved super fluffy and soft, which, by the way, made it much easier for my daughter to eat. She loved it! Which surprised me, because she hasn't liked bites of ice cream -- but she loved bites of this! She opened her mouth wide for more :) The prices are low, the sizes are huge, the ice is fluffy, and the flavors are great! I can't wait to go back to the park and, of course, get another sno ball. He's rolling out a fall menu soon, which he says will include kettle corn! Right now, he's also got hot dogs and snacks -- all for a very fair price. Very happy to have found this truck! It brought back so many childhood memories for me :)

They're best known for their bingsoo, or Korean shaved ice, which is perfectly fluffy and delightful, with a sweet, milky flavor that acts as a great canvas for all their toppings. You can't go wrong with of their bingsoo options, but they do run a little bit large and are meant for 2-3 people to share. If you're in the mood for something smaller, they do have a delightful selection of other desserts, chief among which is their rice paper waffle. This glorious confection is a super light, crispy waffle made entirely out of rice paper (which, as a side bonus, also means it's gluten-free). It's slightly chewy on the inside but generally incredibly crunchy and airy. It comes topped with a lovely rice-based syrup that tastes a bit savory -- almost malty -- and black sesame. You can also just get a scoop of their rich, creamy ice cream (instead of the shaved ice that it normally comes on top of), and it will be topped with a generous helping of red bean paste, injeolmi powder, sliced almonds, and corn flakes. The combination of flavors and textures levels up this humble little scoop to a full-scale dessert with sweet, savory, and nutty notes. Aside from their sweet treats, Soricha also has a bunch of fun drinks. They have a long menu of expertly brewed artisan teas, or you can also cool down with one of their refreshing fruit mixes. The omija berry refresher is particularly lovely, with a great balance of tart and sweet flavors that make it the perfect summertime drink. Beyond the food, the service is also super friendly and quick, and the cafe is gorgeously decorated with chill, relaxing ambient music. It's a delightful place to hang out with a friend to chat, finish some work, or do a bit of reading. I will note, however, that it is quite expensive -- the bingsoo is about $20, and the teas are a minimum of $7. It's so worth it every time, but it's definitely more of an occasional treat than an everyday indulgence.

I mourn the fact that COVID killed the samples, but it's still a great place to shop for a treat or just run in and grab a coffee which I do a few times a month.

First, the yogurt snow had awful fruits: kiwi was old, strawberries were not ripe, melon tasted like watermelon rinds, the canned mandarins tasted canned.

Absolutely no flavor whatsoever for $16.55 The chocolate chip brownie, didn't have much taste of chocolate and stale. $4.50 The upside down pineapple cake was the worst, so old it had the metallic taste of the aluminum container and crumbled into granules using a fork. Absolutely inedible! $4.25 Breeze bakery has been going downhill for a while now, but 3 out 3 items being inedible for $28 is unbelievable. There is also the short bulky Korean guy, possibly the manager who's seems to be on a power trip and speaks to customers rudely and unprofessionally. Will never come back and will inform my friends and family how this business is tanking.
