We were craving Hawaiian shaved ice in the hot Florida weather and was directed by Yelp to this small stall in ICON park. Boy, the shaved ice, simple as it may be, was packed with flavor! Try it with condensed milk. Serving size was adequate to quench the heat. read more

We were craving snow cones, and no other ice cream. Decided to check this place out, and they didn't have snow cones, but they had something better, Hawaiian Shave Ice, top noche. I had the Caramel Green Apple that actually had blue bell ice cream inside, wow. My fiancé had a Cherry and Blue Raspberry and my son had Birthday Cake with Cherry. They were all so soft and delicious. I suggest it if you want some shaved ice. Beats the heck out of snow cones. Awesome 5 starts read more

On my visits to Ohio , I would always be sure to swing by our favorite Shaved Ice place (summer only), so we were ecstatic when one opened in our neighborhood here in Orlando. Kurt is so nice and always willing to help us explore new flavors ( I am a strictly strawberry person, I never try anything else). He recommended 3 completely new flavors, with ice cream and whipped cream and candy topping.. SOMETHING I WOULD NEVER ORDER, but I LOVED IT! Some family came into town, so we made sure to bring them there. We absolutely love going. Try it. read more

Kicking myself for not coming here sooner! After driving by too many times we finally decided to treat ourselves to some Hawaiian shave ice. And treat ourselves we did! My love and I ordered 2 8oz shave ice and opted for 3 flavors each. I chose cotton candy, sno cream, and the classic Tiger's blood. My love chose sno cream, tiger's blood, and banana. Both we got Hawaiian Style with ice cream center and topped with sweet condensed milk. Wow wow wowwwww. It was the perfect dessert! The customer in front of us said he was down from Virginia and they had visited last year and enjoyed it so much they made it a point to come again on this trip! Would love to see this place continue to be successful! We will definitely be regulars from here on out! There is plenty of parking nearby and several tables set up for you to enjoy your ice. read more

The moment we saw the banner promoting Hawaiian Shaved Ice, we knew we had to stop! We were supposed to be in Hawaii at the moment, but Covid had other plans for us. But, stopping here and meeting Kurt lightened the blow some. Kurt was clean and quick in making our order and very friendly when he got a chance to talk in between customers. If you get a chance, swing by, and know you won't be disappointed. The ice is SO SOFT! Kurt thanks a ton! See ya next time. Mahalo! read more

Very helpful in helping us pick out what kind of shaved iced we wanted since there's so many options. I love that there is outdoor seating as well. It's a outdoor place (don't expect indoor), but there's seating outside and we went in the afternoon and night time and both times were very peaceful. There's parking behind the gift shop as well. I really recommend trying Hawaiian shaved ice here :) read more

Wow! This place is a hidden gym right in the middle of all the theme park action. This location is right across the street from Disney Springs. It is located right between Burger King and Denny's. There are so many flavors to choose from and the staff is extremely friendly. This is a must visit. I still can't get over how big the portions were! If you live in the area make sure you ask for a punch card. You will receive a free topper on your 5th visit, and free shave ice on your 10th visit. With how tasty this treat was, I know I will hit my 10th visit in no time. read more

Really good and authentic Hawaiian style shaved Ice! It's a little easy to miss it's a hut across from Denny's in front of a gift shop. The place is run by the owner himself who used to live in Hawaii and you can really tell he knows how to do Hawaiian style shaved ice. I recommend any of the Specialty combinations. Very unique and creatively made combos! We got the Unicorn, the Superhero, and Passionate Patriot. Everyone in our party loved theirs. Looking forward to coming here again next time we're in town. read more

What a fabulous find here in Kissimmee, FL! I was actually googling ice cream shops near me and came across Freeze Your Brain Shave Ice and was SOLD! "Shaved ice" is one of my favorite things, but this was my first time having a REAL "shave ice," Hawaiian style! There is a great variety of flavors to choose from and additional toppings to add as well. Literally every aspect of it was perfect from the super soft ice texture to the amount of syrup poured over the shave ice! My husband went with the kid size and went all out adding vanilla ice cream and sweetened condensed milk on top, while I went with the LARGE and added the condensed milk. It was one of the most delicious sweet treats I have ever had and I cannot wait to go back before we leave town. We also came at a good time of the night where we were lucky enough to catch the owner in some down time. He was able to chat with us and share his story and tell us more about the business. Next time you're in the area, you MUST stop for some shave ice for the family and if you have a few extra minutes, the owner is super exciting to chat with. Thank you for our treat! read more

Best shaved ice in Florida, hands down. It is an easy business to miss because it's tucked away behind a flea market, with lots of other food trucks. You won't want to miss this one though. We were so glad we found this treasure!! He has so many unique flavor options that I have not seen offered anywhere else, topping options (chocolate, condensed milk, marshmallow, caramel), and recipe concoctions. He takes shaved ice up SEVERAL notches by adding creamy vanilla ice cream in the middle (Hawaiian style) , with your choice of a topping. I had tigers blood, "Hawaiian style," with condensed milk on top and it was amazing!! My husband had green apple flavored ice, with Carmel drizzle, and creamy vanilla ice cream in the middle. It was heaven!! It made every other shaved ice I've tried seem mediocre. The gentleman behind the counter (the owner) was so friendly, helpful, and down right awesome. Customer service is top notch, as is the quality and taste of this dessert. We will definitely be back for more of this deliciousness!! read more

Lifesaver on a 90+ degree day. Worth the wait if there's a line. This shaved ice actually has flavor. It isn't like the typical where you get halfway done and you're just crunching plain ice. In fact, it's fluffy in consistency so it melts in your mouth without the need to crunch it up. Generous potions too. Small was enough for both myself and my little boy. Will be back. read more

Take into account that this is not just a snow cone, it's a Hawaiian delicacy, shaved ice. He was sure to educate us as me weren't as cultured as we thought. Stop by and show some love, not just because he's Kurt but because his shaved ice is worth every penny! read more

You want to talk about delicious and original shaved ice? You came to the right place! The fine pilot behind this bezel was Captain Kirk! He helped us kindly to get our brains frozen! I was hesitant at first, I mean with so many options to choose from you can spend quite some time staring into deep space. I made up my mind and went with Piña Colada. Captain Kirk made it right away and spared no time in getting my order just right. The service was pleasant and the shaved ice was spot on! I got mine Hawaiian style which means it has ice cream in the middle! My tastebuds were in a galaxy far far away! Overall the service was great, plenty of options and an addiction to come back for more! read more

It's over 90° outside, and having just spent the first half of the day walking around at Magic Kingdom, we we're definitely a welcomed sight... most definitely an awesome find. At this cool, tropical paradise, surrounded by a nonsensical sea of like 20 cookie-cutter Puerto Rican food trucks, We: Got a two Unicorns, one rainbow, and 2 superheros for the kids, and for the adults to share, we got a Large, Hawaiian-style Tropical Typhoon. It was incredibly satisfying: Hawaiian-style with vanilla ice cream in the middle and passion fruit syrup on top. Hands down one of the best things we've experienced on this trip.

History

Established in 2017.

"Freeze Your Brain Shave Ice" was inspired by the Hawaiian style Shave Ice of the islands. Owner Kurt Jensen lived on the Big Island in the city of Kona for 2 years, enjoying the amazing Shave Ice experience of a little place called Scandinavian Shave Ice. It was this dessert and the lack of a true Hawaiian Shave Ice in central Florida that was the spark for "Feeeze Your Brain". Now anyone can enjoy the offerings of the Hawaiian islands right here in central Florida anytime!

Meet the Business Owner: Kurt J.

Kurt Jensen has spent his entire life in the customer service / guest experience business. Having worked for the top companies in the world like Disney and The Four Seasons Resorts & Hotels, Kurt's level of service is that of today's luxury Fortune 500 brands. An entertainer at heart, Kurt has been an entrepreneur since the age of 5, performing as a professional magician, singer and Steadicam operator for events and production.

It was pretty busy in the shop on this day as the team was working on orders for a pretty large group full of kids so it definitely took some time to get what we wanted. I will say that this MIGHT be one of the larger locations I've been to as there was plenty of seating options, but again plenty of kids on this day. I ended up ordering a bomb pop cone that day, but I probably should have checked it properly since the I had no idea it came with an actual full bomb pop in it! The icee itself was good and the pop behind it was even better. Next time I'll be sure to check and I'll bring some water with me because that was a lot of sugar!

I ordered the $18 Bulgogi hotpot, and it was pure comfort food--the broth had that perfect sweet and savory balance that hits the spot when you want a cozy meal. True to traditional spots in Korea, it came with six different banchan side dishes, and they even offer free, unlimited refills. Apparently, the K-pop group ATEEZ ate here twice when they were in town for their tour. It really feels like one of those "if you know, you know" low-key gems where visiting artists and local professionals go for authentic Korean food. By the way, September is the low season in Orlando--especially with the Magical Dining promotion happening at other local spots. Because of this, Surah has decided to close for lunch from Tuesday through Thursday this month. This means Friday is your only chance in September to catch their amazing, affordable lunch specials. Keep this in mind so you don't show up to a closed restaurant!

My family was the only group in the store for quite a while, yet the woman at the counter somehow managed to make us feel like we were holding up a line of 50 people. Sensing that customer interaction might not be her favorite hobby, I headed to the touchscreen ordering kiosk. I asked if boba was listed because I couldn't find it. She informed me that she couldn't see the screen from where she was sitting, but was "pretty sure" it was there. One thing she was absolutely sure of was that she wasn't getting up to check. Storing energy for surely better things. After a bit of confusion about the boba options, she told me to just order with her. Lucky me! The ordering process felt like a speed round of a game show where asking questions costs points. We were rushed through despite there being exactly zero people waiting behind us. Honestly, I was ready to walk out and spend my money elsewhere. But later I returned for three ice creams and was helped by a gentleman who was incredibly kind, patient, and welcoming. The difference was night and day. I hate leaving negative reviews for small businesses because I truly want them to succeed. The shop is cute, the products are good, and the gentleman was great. But if customer service were an Olympic sport, the woman at the counter would be competing in the "Avoiding Customers" division. Please let the friendly gentleman handle the customer interactions. He's fantastic!

As soon as he opened we were first in line and he gave us complementary water for waiting which was very thoughtful. I use to live in Hollywood Florida which I use to go to get icees at a place called snowballs I was a regular and wow I missed having icees since moving to kissimmee and his were amazing every flavored was bursting !!

Had my first FYB treat today!! AMAZING!! I love the process, the price, and the service. Kurt has quite the vision out here on 192. I went during the day so I was not able to see the night scene but will definitely be back to see this concept at night when all the food trucks are busy. Living in clermont isn't easy, but it's a lot better having a nice frozen cup of whatever I want with FYB's extensive flavor selection. Two thumbs up, go check it out!

We usually go through the drive-thru, and it's always fairly fast and efficient. Although this location is sometimes staffed with indifferent teenagers, they provide good service (if not the most attentive). There are a few outdoor tables, but we usually just park and sit in the car. There's a huge, free parking lot at the adjacent Winn Dixie grocery store, which makes for good people watching at night. This location is open late, which makes it a great stop after leaving Disney for the day. Everybody can use a little sweet treat after a long day, and Twistee Treat is one of my favorites in Orlando.

All of the flavors tasted natural and I am going to make sure to keep returning until I have tried all of them. I was particularly surprised by the Mint Chocolate pop. The strawberry kiwi tasted more like a lemonade but it was still really good. The Tropical Fruit tasted mostly of passionfruit but again, still delicious. My husband also enjoyed his dulce de leche, orange, and pineapple pops. Over 3 dollars for a pop may be steep to some but the flavors are so amazing and the pops are much thicker than others we've had (and we've had lots!) In my opinion, they are very worth it.

The warm, crisp kunafa paired with creamy vanilla ice cream and drizzles of cookie butter, pistachio butter, and Nutella created the perfect balance of textures and sweetness. Their Dubai chocolate strawberries were another standout. The strawberries were huge, fresh, and coated with a delicious kataifi crunch that made every bite satisfying. The chocolate covered labubu filled with pistachio butter and kataifi was easily a ten out of ten. I also tried the Dubai ice cream, which came with scoops of smooth vanilla topped with pistachio butter and chocolate, plus a chocolate coated pistachio cookie on the side.
