    This place is located in the Vibe district of VB. There is a parking lot next to it, and several…read moreparking spots on the side of the street that you can use for parking. The seating is outside and is made up of picnic tables and umbrellas for shade. The menu had a couple signature items that included the pitaya paradise which is what I ended up getting. It was the perfect summer treat. It had the creaminess from the ice cream but the tropical and citrusy flavors from the lime and pitaya. Please be aware that this place does not have bathrooms, so if you have to go I recommend stopping somewhere before hand. The guy at the counter was patient taking our order. I didn't have much to say about the service other than they did get out my kids orders out quickly. I liked the experience, and it's a great place to enjoy the summer. Just know you'll probably smell the burgers from Frank & Patty's and have to check that spot out next.

    I love Get Lost it's such a good sweet treat spot…read more Their Hawaiian shave ice is SO good and they have a ton of flavors to choose from. Tropical to sugary flavors; Dragon fruit to bubble gum. My personal favorite is the Float On which is root beer float inspired with vanilla icecream and it's seriously amazing. They put vanilla ice cream in the middle, shaved ice packed with flavor, and then top it with their house-made whipped cream. It just makes it perfect. The ice cream is delicious, the syrups are flavorful, and you can tell everything is made with care. As far as seating, it's a small spot. Inside where you order, there's only a tiny bit of seating so it's not really somewhere you go to sit for a long time. Most people order at the walk-up window and wait for their name to be called. They do have picnic tables outside if you want to sit out on a nice sunny day. And right beside it, there's an attached space with additional seating if you want to be somewhere a little more covered or out of the weather. It's perfect in the summer, but I also love that they stay open in the winter. They usually do buy-one-get-one free Fridays during the winter, which is such a nice bonus. And the customer service is always really good too friendly and welcoming every time I go. Definitely recommend if you're in Virginia Beach and craving something sweet and refreshing!

    I forgot that I stopped here almost 6 years ago. It was during the pandemic when people stayed…read moreinside to be safe. If they went to get food, it would be takeout. And in some cases, folks would eat in their vehicle. That was the case when I went here for the 1st time. Fast forward to now, I happened to run into The SnoBall Shop when I picked up food from a food truck nearby. Let's see how everything went. After leaving a food truck right across the street, I headed here to order a snoball which I haven't had over a year. Just like the 1st time, you head to the front to place your order. Beforehand, I took a look at all the flavors available and chose white chocolate. I also chose marshmallow fluff for the topping. Overall, the snoball was good. The white chocolate flavor was present throughout and having the marshmallow fluff as a topping and in the middle helped with each serving. The snoball did melt due to the weather outside, but it was totally fine. Once again, the SnoBall Shop came through for yours truly. I'll definitely stop by the next time I'm in the area. Till next time :)

    3.5 rounded up. Service was great, the gentleman was kind and I inquired about the superhero $1…read morediscount in uniform. There are numerous options available explained on their signage. I opted for the kiddie size snowball which was a good portion. It includes 2 flavors, but I chose add-ons - whip cream and tajin and added vanilla ice cream at additional cost. I'm glad he informed me that due to the kiddie size, adding ice cream would increase the height and most likely have the snoball spill over. He offered to place the ice cream on the side to avoid spillage which I greatly appreciated. They have a large variety of flavors and the reason for the 3.5 stars was due to the taste. I had the passion fruit and tiger's blood. I think the tiger's blood is a sugar free flavor with splenda, so that may have been the reason why I wasn't loving it. I did finish the entire thing though. Haha.. I've just had better tasting at other local businesses. It's located in Primrose shopping center near the Holy Spirit Catholic Church. There's plenty of parking available and they have 3 vibrantly colored tables for seating. I'm sure their presence brings a lively, fun vibe to the shopping center that's in dire need of an update.

    The service here is in need of desperate improvements. When we arrived there were at least 10…read morepeople waiting to pickup their order. Once we were greeted (after at least 5 mins of standing in front of the window where we visibly made eye contact with workers) we placed an order for 4 snowballs. Just snowballs, nothing elaborate. We waited by making use of the hula hoops provided by the store (nice touch), interacted with others who were waiting, chatted amongst ourselves and still our snowballs were not ready. We asked what appeared to be the older of the three young ladies working if we can have a refund and were told our orders were being finished. I said but the workers are back there eating a snowball. No acknowledgement was made that the workers were not using their time well to prepare orders. About 5 more mins and the worker we spoke with poked her head inside the shop and said something to the other 2 that resulted in our snowballs being finished and handed off a few mins later. I understand summer employment jobs and having fun while at work in an environment like a snowball stand, however, in total we probably waited around 30+ minutes for 4 snowballs while we watched the workers eating a snowball, chatting with each other, and moving at a snails pace. Snowball is ice and flavor. Training is needed to make sure the workers understand how to maximize their efficiency so they can get customers out of their face and they would actually have more time to do the things that young summer workers like to do when working with their peers.

    Super delicious snow cones. They have a huge selection. I got the mango & guava 10 out 10…read more My hubs got the grenade & mai tai. 10 out 10.
