I am a bit surprised by the lack of customer service or desire to make things right. We would have paid extra for the ice cream but it was just a flat "no". I had two disappointed little girls on my hands.

Second, they have an extensive selection of flavors and textures and additions that you can definitely get something different every time you visit. Speaking of visiting, you visit Mr Morgan's because of the service offered. The owner was very engaging and took the time to explain different flavor variations and also their specials. Having been to Hawaii many a times, Mr Morgan is pretty close to what you would get from an island experience. It matches the ambiance of being on the island with the food truck theme and open parking lot. It's friendly, dog friendly and overall whimsical. I dare say I would definitely come back on my next visit and would encourage others to do so as well.

We got about halfway to where we were going and decided we weren't going to make it there and back on time. We crossed the street and turned around to head back to where we were parked. We walked up to Carnival Sweets and immediately noticed how absolutely charming the store looked. You went inside and it's such a quaint little store. We were immediately greeted by two men who were just the kindest. I purchased two honey bun cow tails for my children and then I ordered two hot chocolates and a strawberry lemonade. To receive your drinks, you go out the side door to the left, around the back. The hot chocolate with some of the most decadent that I have ever had. It was incredibly rich and very flavorful. The strawberry lemonade was also delicious. Between the cleanliness, the cutest decor, the kindest staff, and the delicious drinks, I wish I lived closer to come here more often. This is definitely an establishment that deserves your money and time.

My spouse and I were in Florida visiting family and had a night to ourselves so we decided to check…read moreout The Ice Plant with the promise of a connected distillery tour. The Ice Plant location was historically St. Augustine's first power and ice complex. Now the building has been revitalized and has The Ice Plant and The St. Augustine Distillery. The St. Augustine Distillery is connected to The Ice Plant and is a great tour to check out right before heading to grab food at the restaurant. There are a variety of guided and self-guided tours. My spouse and I checked out the self-guided tour right before we grabbed dinner at The Ice Plant. The tour isn't particularly long but was filled with information. After the tour, we headed upstairs to the restaurant. The restaurant feels really spacious with its super tall ceilings. There was lots to look at reminding us of the previous use of the building. We ordered the hand cut fries, strawberry and beet salad, and the gochujang marinated pork chop. I also ordered a few of their drinks, each one featuring different types of ice to fit the drink. Honestly all the food and the drinks were so good, but the easy standout of the night for both my spouse and I were the pork chops. These might have been the best pork chops I've ever had in my life. The pork chops were incredibly tender and juicy, not dry at all. I was expecting it to be a little dry, as I feel like pork chop can sometimes get overcooked, but no. These were so juicy and tender. I asked our server how the pork chop was cooked. Our server said that the pork chops were cooked sous vide, which makes a lot of sense as to how they were so tender. I've already told my spouse if we are in the St. Augustine area again, I would make a special trip just to get these pork chops again, they were that good. I really enjoyed this restaurant. This was my favorite spot we checked out in the St. Augustine area, if you are ever passing by the area, check The Ice Plant out!

The Bloody Mary is where it lost me. $15 is a serious price for a cocktail, and mine arrived as a tall glass of ice with what was left over poured around it. By the time I was a few sips in, it was mostly meltwater. For that money I'd expect the drink to outlast the ice. Suggestion for the house: given the name, lean into it. Send everyone home with a free bag of ice -- at least then I'd feel like I paid for something I got to keep. Would go back for the food. Would think twice before ordering another cocktail.

They offer creative snow cones, saved ice aka snow balls, the difference between snow cones and sno-balls is they are made with finely shaved ice and flavored cane sugar syrup.

Snoballs are a part of my youth in Baltimore, and I've always wondered why Snoball stands aren't on every street corner in Florida. I thought I was seeing things, but I'm so glad it was real. Snoball stands are distinctly a Maryland treasure and Sno Vibes fully captures that atmosphere. I ordered a Skylite with marshmallow. As soon as I ordered that flavor, she asked if I was from Maryland and we had a wonderful conversation about our times back home. The snoball itself was a home run as well. The round ice balls is what sets this apart from your typical shaved ice or sno cones. They put in a ton of syrup. It was refreshing, delicious. I highly recommend you give Sno Vibes a try. It's a wonderful treat any day but on hot days, it's a treasure.
