Sadly, this one wasn't as good as the one I had a few years back. The "snow" wasn't as fluffy and settled into a hard chunk of ice that i had to hack at in the middle of my cup. Again I got the Ragin' Cajun flavor with cream, though the cream didn't really penetrate the top later. The two young guys working there were very polite and informative when I asked about sizes etc. I guess you can't go home again, but maybe I'll give this place another shot on a different day.

I wasn't quite sure what to expect, while it is similar to a sno-cone, it is also very different. The flavors.. amazing.. and the ice is so light and fluffy...~not crunchy like a snow cone. It just melts in your mouth. We all thought the Kokonut bowls were pretty awesome, even more so on a hot day. They also have small plain bowls for the pups, who were pretty happy they got a treat too! I can't wait to go back and try other flavors! I would highly recommend!

Underwhelmed with the boba here, but I believe as a chain, their actual tea is decent…read more Unfortunately I wanted boba at night and wanted to avoid caffeine, so went with a simple fresh milk. At another location, outside of Chicago, I had tea that was solid but the boba was still mediocre. Not sure if it's the franchisees or the actual chain, but the toppings may not be freshly rotated. Double Purple Bubble Fresh Milk - ube lining, ube grounding, milk, and boba. Combo sounds pretty great, but felt like execution was off. Ube lining was decent and smooth, just took some effort to scrape. However I expected the ube at the bottom of the cup to be mashed similarly and it was not. Boba was chewy on the outside but ripped apart easily in the center, almost firm.

The amount of flavors they have is only rivaled by the top bars of the 1800s and early 1900s. Step in the building and the whole place has early 1900s all over it which is great. It keeps the original hometown Palatine look and the staff inside even keep with the hometown styling and behavior. This place is like walking into a soda shop of the late 1800s early 1900s but with contactless payments and none of the horrors of then. The interior seating area was ample and the outside area is massive. Though this restaurant is completely wheelchair inaccessible so if you have such a need you'll be well served by their curbside dial in service that they offer for to go and disabled patrons. Docked one star due to total inaccessible layout.

As someone who has an affinity for Bahama Bucks, this place comes pretty close. The shaved ice is slightly more icy and possibly thicker than BB, but definitely better than typical shaved ice place in the area. They have an array of syrups you can add and the option to have ice cream on top and bottom (volcano style). The ice cream is soft serve so it melts a little faster, but the creaminess is there. I do wish they'd switch to a thicker, creamy, scoopable ice cream which honestly wouldn't be a bad choice if they brought in flavors because they could sell them as scoops and give you the option for what flavor of ice cream. There is seating inside and outside, but outside is always my choice because you get to look out at the lake across the street. There's other snack options here, but I haven't ventured to try them just yet. It's a great pick-me-up or a good treat on a hot day.
