I had their Hawaiian Shaved Ice at the MN State Fair Preview Weekend. It was unlike any snow cone…read moreI've ever had. I had a Passion Fruit and Guava, with Cream drizzled on top. Yep, best snow cone ever. Hands down. I hear they'll be at US Bank Stadium as well, and they'll serve them spiked there! Let's go!

I learned about Minnesnowii Shave Ice when I went to the Kickoff to Summer with my Yelp friends…read more This year, I went with my husband and decided to get a mangonada. It was delicious. I was surprise to see boba on it, but it works! The tamarind candy was a bit hard to bite and peel off, but that's OK. There was along line at the Kickoff to Summer, which was surprising, because I didn't see that last year. There were multiple windows to order from. The staff cashier and shave ice crafters were friendly and approachable. Definitely worth it. I also saw mocha on the menu, but my heart was already set on mangonada. It is normally $8, unless you're getting the specialty ones like mangonada. They accept cash and card.

The portions are large and easily sharable between 2-3 people. The mango bingsoo was incredible! It was topped with plenty of sweet mango and a generous amount of condensed milk, mango syrup, and a scoop of ice cream. It's fun to watch the milk ice get freshly shaved.

Meet my new obsession, the Strawberry Snowbing!!! Wow, I tried to explain it to my daughter but…read moreI'm afraid I don't have the words to describe it properly. It's "like" Hawaiian shaved ice, but so much better... like the difference between powdery snow (Snowbing) vs heavy sleet (regular shaved ice). Service and ambiance was just okay since it's just served cafeteria style. Make sure you have time to eat it in the restaurant, because it would melt before you could take it home.

The ice cream is Bridgemans which we love and ironically we were at their shop in Woodbury yesterday. Great quality ice cream. They have a huge patio area to enjoy your cool treats. They are also super close to the waterfront. One of the cool features is their color changing spoons they provide with their ice cream. The prices are very good compared to other ice cream shops! Welcome to the neighborhood!

I like Dipsy Ice Cream Shoppe - 4 stars!…read more Two of us checked out the new Dipsy after grabbing some food at San Pedro. It was the perfect way to top off a spicy meal on a hot summer day. Dipsy has multiple ice cream flavors and a plethora of shaved ice flavors. We ordered ice cream and it was great. It was nice to enjoy the flavors in the outdoor seating area, multiple picnic style tables in between Dipsy and the coffee shop. The two young women running the show were awesome! They were very friendly, funny, personable, and bubbling over with energy. This is a nice change. I've had many sketchy experiences at ice cream shops that were manned by grumpy, sour faced kids that want to be somewhere else. NOT at Dipsy though. The women were great representatives of the brand. I really like the design of the shop too. The bright color schemes are very cheery and they work great for this type of venue. I gave them 4 stars because I'm kinda skimpy with the places that I rate a top tier 5. For ice cream shops, I usually reserve the highest rating for the places that take it to another level and operate their own creamery in-house, making their own ice cream on-site. No disrespect to Dipsy though. They do a great job. Dipsy is a wonderful addition to the Hudson food scene. I wish them many years of success. Thumbs up! -Maxx

Fun time. Lots of choices for malts, shakes, and "Sprinklers"…read more We all had a small Sprinkler. Quite large for a "small". One suggestion: a mini or kids Suze sprinkler would be nice. Staff was very friendly. I/we will be back!!

I took a photo of the hours so they are clear. I tried the butterscotch sprinkler for my first time. I'm a huge ice cream lover and have had my fair share of ice cream. I honestly thought the soft serve was pretty bland and the same was true for the butterscotch drizzle. I thought maybe my allergies were to blame, but my partner tried it and agreed that it was very bland. I'm willing to try something different in the future to see if it was one off. I think their prices are pretty fair compared to other locations.

I used to like this place since they would help fluff the plushies. Those days are gone and they…read morewill not stack near the prize chute. When my sister-in-law visited last year, we had better luck with owners making it easy for my son. This month, it is very obvious the claw machines are programmed to grab after payout but release before reaching prize chute. Without filling at the level of prize chute, you are guaranteed to lose since they will roll back down away prize chute. Only plus is their boba tea and shave ice. Only come at promotion days when you get free tokens. Birthday you get free 18 tokens and large boba drink when you purchase anything. Mall of America location is worse with points (out to 1 decimal) instead of tokens which varies too much based on prize. Only added bonus is gatcha machines have nicer toys. Also different games but more points. Birthday gets you bonus with $28 worth of tokens and free large boba tea. They clarify that you still have to purchase minimum tokens for $18 so strings attached.

I purchased a $1,950 product from swaniceshavers.com, an online store owned by Crystal Fresh, and…read moreneeded to return it shortly after it arrived. I contacted them to get a return authorization number and was told that they would impose a 20% restocking fee even though I never opened the packaging that it arrived in. That's $390 to simply allow me to return the product! While Crystal Fresh is not the only company in the world to charge restocking fees, I find this type of policy to be unfair when they end up reselling the product again for full price to someone else. All this restocking fee does is upset customers. And guess what? I'm upset! I will never purchase from any Crystal Fresh company again since there are tons of other places to get the same products without old fashioned return penalties. Crystal Fresh, I hope the $390 you made off me is worth this negative review.
