    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.

    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.

    Awesome shave ice and great owner. Our family loved it, best I've had since I was in Maui for my honeymoon, and this was just as good. Thank you!

    Watermelon, pina colada and banana.

    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!

    Awesome find just outside of Disney! Legitimate shaved ice with countless flavors and large portions. The kids loved it and we can't wait to go back.

    Whenever I am in Orlando I LOVEEEEE coming here, the owner is so sweet every time my boyfriend and I come. 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 :)

    Coconut Craze folks! Do it!
    Lindsay M.

    Sooooooooo Amazing!!!!! YOU MUST GO!!!!! The most VELVETY and FLAVORFUL shaved ice I've ever had! Have one of the special recipes you will not be disappointed. I choose coconut craze. I'm crazy over it. It was 93 degrees and Freeze Your Brain Shaved Ice cooled us down. I only wish we found it sooner.

    Freeze Your Brain!

    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.

    Menu has so many options!!

    I love coming and getting shaved ice here! There are so many flavors to choose from. They are all Vegan. They also have so many fun additional things to add like edible glitter. My favorite flavor is SnoCream it taste like marshmallow and vanilla. My husband loves the Coconut flavor. We always get such exceptional service! We already been here so many times since we found it. I can't wait to go again!

    Shaved ice.

    I love coming here, the flavor is amazing. I highly recommend the passion Fruit purée with lemon and lime. What I love more than the taste was watching him perfectly craft this together like a master architect. The level of care and attention to detail. When he handed this too me before I ate some it was an art piece. 5/5 worth the money.

    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!
