They didn't lack flavor-- he really poured a lot of flavoring. I ordered-- small : wedding cake and ice cream flavor, NOT ice cream scoop with cream-- it should have been $3.39 + .50 =$3.89, instead it came up to $5.90 Kiddie: wedding cake with a scoop of ice cream and cream-- should have been $3.74, instead it rung up to $5.40 My total should have been $7.63, instead it was $12.23 before my tip. Even with taxes $8.25. I was overcharged almost $5. When I total the guy, he said that these were old prices. This is false advertising and stealing. The sign still shows original price of ice cream as .75 yet we were charged $1.25

Why 5 stars? Because this is everything you want in a shaved ice place…read more --- --- --- Last summer, I wanted to visit Lottie's, but I waited too long and saw that they shut down right before school starts back up. So this summer, I made sure to visit right before the buzzer: we went on the very last day they were open. But they were definitely not just winding down for their last few hours - it was like a party here. When I first walked up, I was told by a very enthusiastic, and very out of breath girl, that I could play against one of the staff members in a game of pickleball or connect 4 and win a free snow cone. I had my son with me and couldn't really lose sight of him while involved in a competitive pickleball game, so they suggested connect 4. They even gave my son something to color while I played. Well, I blew the game and lost. But they still gave me a free shaved ice anyway. And by the way, it was awesome. I will definitely not be waiting until the last day of summer to visit next year. They have approximately 487 flavor options and they use blue bell ice cream if you so choose to add that. We sat at a picnic table and went to town on our deliciousness as we watched people playing games, listening to music and living their best summer lives. I now understand why the reviews are so great here and am looking forward to May already!

I had forgotten about the referral until one afternoon, sweating bullets, I was getting gas and spied Brad's little yellow Snow Bombs trailer, glistening in the hot a in. Calling to ne.

I must to tell you Brad snow cones are made of the BEST ICE I have ever eaten. It's like spun cotton candy, just melting in your math. Do not miss this amazing summer treat. Now that schools back in, he doesn't open until 3 on weekdays and maybe he said 1 on Sat (sorry Brad I should have written it down). Brad's a nice guy with apparently one surefire joke cause he's told it I me Everytime I've been there. I LOVE stuff like that. Hey if it works it works. Good on ya Brad!

There's a huge variety of snacks, both sweet and savory. So far I've only tried a few sweet things here and there, but they also have elotes, nachos, and wings. As the name implies, they have plenty of popsicles and ice creams. I wish they were a little creamier, but the flavors are a lot of fun. I'm partial to the mazapan flavor and the queso flavor, but I thought the queso ice cream was a little icy when I had it. What I really love to go here for are the aguas frescas! They have a larger variety of flavors here than most restaurants and I love that they're not too sweet. They're perfect for a hot day or after a long run. I like to get the mango agua fresca, but they have a nuez agua fresca I've been meaning to try. Looking forward to the next time I stop by.

The Bread Pudding, however, was a disappointment! Just a buttery soggy pastry with little sweetness and no flavor.

Overall a nice meeting place with decent food - again, nothing extraordinary, shall skip the Croissant Bread Pudding if visiting again!
