    I think I would have enjoyed a snow cone if I could find the truck. The address sends you to a house in a neighborhood.

    One of the best parts about this place is the variety, there's shave ice, soft serve, scoop ice…read morecream, frozen treats, ice cream cookie sandwich, you name it really. I usually go for a chocolate banana when I'm feeling like I need ti be healthy and a coke float with chocolate/vanilla swirl soft serve when I don't. If you want to try something weird try the soda freeze that's any soda with soft serve put in a machine to make a slushie thing, it's odd but good. Just don't use sprite as your base drink, that be nasty.

    This sounded good after dinner at a nearby restaurant and before a show at Belly Up. I had never…read morebeen to this location before even though I've tried all the restaurants in this mall. The parking lot was pretty empty. It was a bit of a cool night and there was no line. I looked at the different flavors and there were a few. I opted for a soft serve. I just got the plain vanilla, but had it dipped in the butterscotch shell because I was feeling nostalgic for the dipped cones I had as a child. The woman helping us was patient while we made up our minds. I needed napkins as it started dripping immediately, even through the thick coating. We sat at the tables outside and ate our cones. The butterscotch tasted ok but it was really thick and waxy so I didn't finish it. If I were in the area i might come back and get ice cream or soft serve again but skip the dip.

    Aloha Ice is the only place I've found, pretty much anywhere, that has actual Hawaiian-style shaved…read moreice, complete with the macadamia-nut ice cream on the bottom! For years I've wondered why this isn't a thing elsewhere besides Hawaii. It is so good! We decided to stop here after an e-biking adventure through Oceanside. We got several of the special types of shaved ice (though you can build your own flavor selection) and they were all really good. The bigger sizes were really huge! Things were so tasty I missed actual pictures of the shaved ice but did grab a pic of the outside. They've also done a good job capturing the Hawaiian style inside and even have pog you can get! Nice clean modern ambiance overall. Service was quick even though there were tons of people in line! Overall would totally recommend for a tasty summer treat in Carlsbad!

    The portion was hugeeee. I looked at the small at first and was like bruh no way they selling that…read morebut they lowk stack the ice so high. It was definitely worth the price for the amount you get. For taste, I think all the flavors are super artificial (i mean afterall it is syrups) but normally it doesnt bother me and for this it was just really strong fake taste especially of their ube flavor. I do think the sweet cream complimented it very nice and I liked it all when I mixed the ice cream in. The blend was extremely pleasant. I also really appreciated how patient the staff were when I was looking at the menu they were kind about letting me fully look through it all. Id say this is a good place to go with chill vibes and after a long summer day on the beach. Perfect cool down snack

    my kids and i stopped by after spending the afternoon at Get Air, and i'm so glad we finally came…read morein! i immediately realized this is the same amazing ice cream stand from the Poway Farmers Market, which made me even more excited. as a fellow veteran, i also love supporting another veteran-owned small business. while we were chatting, i learned they've been in this location for a little over a year, and it made me happy to hear business has been going so well. everyone has always been so kind whenever we've visited them at the farmers market, and that same friendliness carried over into the shop. there was one employee working, and despite being by herself, she was incredibly patient while my kids took their time choosing flavors. she even offered my dog a pup cup, which was such a thoughtful gesture. one thing i really liked about the storefront is that there are even more flavors than they bring to the farmers market, and the outdoor seating was perfect. my kids enjoyed their ice cream while i finished my lunch from next door before heading back inside to order my own. when i went back in, she gave me some great recommendations based on the flavors i usually enjoy. when it was time to pay, she surprised me by saying my ice cream was on the house. It was completely unexpected and very much appreciated, but honestly, the customer service alone would've been enough to earn five stars. delicious ice cream, lots of flavor options, and genuinely kind people. we'll definitely be back, both here and at the Poway Farmers Market. it's always a pleasure supporting businesses that make you feel so welcome!!

    The Italian Ice was great. Flavors really came through and it wasn't overly sweet…read more Lots of flavor choices and they had several good standbys for kids. Pricing wasn't crazy, and I liked that they let you get multiple flavors even at the smallest size. Service was quick & friendly. We will return.

    Visiting SD area and came across this hidden gem. Sisters Snack Shack what a find. My family…read moreordered an Ice Vietnamese Coffee and a Matcha (wife loved even though she's not a matcha fan) drink which were very tasty. We ordered a Banh Mi sandwich which was one of the best I've had. The vegetables were pickled In House and were Awesome, really made the sandwich in my opinion. The bread was from a local bakery, soft and airy....Soooo good. My daughter ordered Crispy Rice which was flavorful and fresh. The owner was friendly and interacted with her customers as they were family. I highly recommend this place and yes I will definitely be back.

When researching (we are not from this area -not familiar) we thankfully stumbled upon this establishment. Thank GOD. Garlic shrimp spring rolls! Reee Mix! Wow! Juat wow... Spring rolls will never be the same for me. (In a good way-now Ill have to come back) My friend, Eric, ordered the Katsu chicken curry bowl and loved it. They separated the curry so you just pour he amount you like and additionally it doesn't make the bomb @ss chicken soggy. The Bahn mi was Bomb for me. Definitely returning and highly recommend. We also got the pleasure to meet one of the sisters-Matty! She is awesome and a great chef. Thank you Matty!!! -Randy
