This place is a hidden little gem!! My Mango Piña shaved ice drink was everything I wanted it to be! It was cool, delicious, sweet and refreshing. My son's Churro Split was also delicious! I tried it and it was absolutely fantastic. The churros were served warm with chocolate syrup and the strawberries on top of the banana split strawberry and vanilla ice cream was a killer combination. The service was great and they were quick with our order considering the multiple orders in front of ours. It has a great tropical ice cream shop vibe to it and my son and I felt like we were in little Mexico or on an island in the Caribbean. read more

I ordered an Oreo milk and a rum shaved ice. My husband's only complaint is he felt he had too much ice in his milk with Oreo. For me I enjoyed the Ramen shaved ice. It was a good size portion. The lady that took my order was nice. I would purchase it again, I'd also consider trying a different flavor. They had so many. read more

We had spent all day having a play date at the zoo splash pad so off course we had to end our play date with some ice cream. My son wanted ice cream and my daughter was insistent we get shaved ice and when I was looking for local spots Mannys Shaved Ice had the best reviews in the area and they carried both ice cream and raspados ( aka shaved ice). I was going back and forth between Mannys and just an ice cream spot and I'm so glad we picked here. Mannys Shaved Ice will become a frequent spot for my family. We went in figured out what we wanted and were given a number for our table. Service was friendly, there was a lot of seating available inside but they also give you the option to bring your treats out to you at your car. They speak both English and Spanish here and have so many Hispanic snacks I was in heaven- from elotes to dorilocos, fruta picada, churros, aqua Fresca and of course they had the raspados and ice cream and much much more. My daughter and her besties actually ended up going with some colorful ice cream and even added sprinkles, my son went with the cafe caramel shaved ice and when I saw they had Fresa as con crema I had to get it. The portions were huge and everything was delicious, tasted exactly how I've come to love these treats and price was worth every penny- it was truly a steal. Will be back soon. read more

I got my food extremely quickly even though it was busy, finding parking takes a little patience sometimes but it's worth it, I promise. The elotes were phenomenal! The gansito and horchata frappes were also really great. I highly recommend trying their churros, they are filled with Bavarian cream and are the best I've ever had; they are served warm. The staff were very friendly and allowed me to wait in my car for my order. I'll definitely be back! read more

Guava Mango shaved ice -- phenomenal! There were pieces of real mango and possibly guava puree, which only took the flavors and textures to another level. Definitely exceeded expectations.

Ever try Mexican desserts? If not, you're missing out fam. Lemme pause Dora real quick and give y'all a breakdown. We got the shaved ice...phenomenal. Can you say shaved ice? Say it louder!... But forreal we got the strawberry one topped with even more strawberries because we're savages and it was super refreshing. It's like we jumped into a dentyne ice commercial. Next we got the esquites....fireeeee. Literally, cause I was on the toilet all day the day after pooping out an inferno, but it was worth it. It was all worth it...Maybe don't get the extra spicy one if you like your evenings at the park and not on the loo. So grab your backpack, get your map, and head straight here for some Mexican goodies. And oops I forgot to take pictures so I'll attach a picture of my dog. Say hi to Eli. read more

Manny's is TOP-NOTCH if you ever want a refreshing, delicious snack. My friends have always told me about it, but I had never went before. Now I'm making stops at Manny's every week! Service is also extremely friendly. I got their mango-guava shaved ice and a large cup of their esquites. $3.50 for a HUGE shaved ice drink and $5 for a big boy cup of corn. So cheap and so delicious. The guava flavor was on point and I loved the mango bits in the drink. It's so refreshing and the ice melts down into a cool, yummy drink. The esquites is basically elote in a cup--sweet corn, mayonnaise, cotijia cheese, and spice! Although a bit watery, it is so flavorful, delicious, and has a kick. Definitely hits the spot if you're craving a savory snack. I've heard tons of good things about their fresh fruit. I can't wait to come back and try some more items! read more

Good place it's my first time try it go check out the place and they have some really good stuff

I love the Elote so much My boyfriend drove about an hour so I can have some. Why? Because the area that I was staying at didn't have ANY Elote except Chili's, but Manny's Elote is more flavorful than Chili's in my opinion. read more

How did it take me so long to stop in to this place?!? I have zero excuses. I drove 35 minutes one direction just to get an elote and esquite. I ordered online (super quick, and super easy. Check their Facebook page for their online ordering link) and popped inside to pick it up. It is so much bigger inside than it looks on the outside! They have a pretty expansive menu of lots of Mexican snacks, way more than just shaved ice. The staff was nice and pleasent. My order was ready quicker than it was estimated to be done and I drove all the way home before digging into my food...and I was amazed. My food is still PIPING hot. It's a 35 minute drive! I thought I'd be having cold corn and I was super happy to have it all be still hot! And the food is AMAZING! I'm so sad I've wasted 3 years NOT going to this place! I can't wait to try some new things. They have a sign on the door right now saying they're open Mondays now, too...guess I know what I'm having for lunch tomorrow! read more

Absolutely delicious! I can't believe I waited so long to try it. Small little gem in a small little strip. It is worth the trip! We got the cola shaved ice, chocolate (tastes like really cold chocolate milk), vanilla (has bananas in it so not recommended if you only want vanilla but recommend if you like banana pudding), and the Gloria. Yummy! read more

Definitely a place to go. Service is good & fast. Food is a must! Ambiance is nice and it's always clean.

We visited Manny's on a whim, wanting to stray away from our usual Columbia desert/sweets spots and we definitely found a gem. It can be a bit overwhelming when you go, because there are so many flavors and options... but if you aren't sure the staff are helpful and they also indicate some of their most popular flavors on the menu board. I tried the mango colada... so mango and pineapple shaved ice. It's one of their cream mixes so it has cream on top, in addition to the mango and coconut pieces. Kelsay tried the strawberry and cream Gloria, which again is a cream flavor with strawberries and banana. You can also customize your shaved ice with extra cream and fruit (we didn't know any better... but that's DEF the way to go, add cream and extra fruit!!!!). We also weren't really sure if we were supposed to go at these with a spoon or straw, so we went straw first and drank all the flavor from bottom... another mistake. You grab a straw and crush up the ice and drink as you go so the flavor mixes up! Very unique experience, nothing else like it in Columbia! Must visit read more

Literally feel at home here! I'm from California where we have hundreds of these places everywhere. Moving here to SC it's hard finding not only a 'good' Mexican restaurant but any good Mexican food. When I found this place I was so happy. The elotes, raspados, shakes everything is so Good!! So happy I found this place, it's clean and with fast good workers!. read more

As advertised.. the raspados were great. Tried the chicharrón dish, very tasty. Food is affordable and staff is friendly. No complaints here. read more

I wanted to love this place. I wanted to enjoy this place. I wanted to have a new favorite spot to take my nieces and nephews on one of those beautiful warm Spring afternoons. When I walked into the building I was impressed. The place seemed clean. The staff were family enough--well so I thought. I decided to invite my siblings and their kids to this spot since the pictures on Facebook looked impressive. So we go and I order a Cotton Candy Shaved Ice (played it safe) and got two more for my nieces. My sister ends up ordering a fruit bowl. Fresh strawberries, nuts, honey, and bananas were prepared and placed in a plastic container. Me being greedy, I opened my sister's fruit bowl to see how fresh the strawberries were and the fruit bowl smelled pretty bad. Now don't get me wrong--bananas don't smell that great, so I tried it anyways. After making a comment about the fruit, my sister looks in her fruit bowl and unknowingly there is a small white ball in the bowl. She moves it to make sure it isn't mold--and it worse!! It's a ball of baby spiders! Yes, a ball of spiders in the fruit bowl. The bowl is taken inside to show the employee that there are literally bugs in the fruit bowl and we are dismissed. The employee looks annoyed that we had the audacity to bring this issue to their attention. The employee takes the white ball of baby spiders out and tosses it to the floor then asks if we would like the bowl to be made over. Shocked, upset, and disgusted--we asked for our money back, but only the money for the fruit bowl was given. After finding these spiders in the food we ended up throwing everything else out. Forty-five dollars thrown away because everyone ended up throwing their things away and only six dollars were given back. I wanted to love this place-- Visit made on 04.08.2021. read more

A little gem you'll miss if you aren't looking for it. I wanted a nice shaved ice but not the little kiddy shaved iced you get at other chains around. This place uses FRESH ingredients. The shaved ice is so delicious, add the sweet cream and it makes for one cresmy delicious dessert. The serving sizes BEAT any other place around and the customer service is top notch! I definitely recommend anyone to try this place out read more

Definitely one of my favorite lil spots in Columbia! It's advertised as a shaved ice shop but it has other things too! They have food like nachos, elotes, corn in a cup, and chicharron. My favorite thing to get while I'm here is the corn in the cup. The simplicity of it is really genius tbh and it's a good price for the amount you get. You wouldn't think a cup of corn could fill you up like that but it rly does. Fair warning, it is spicy. I can't handle too much spice bc i'm a baby so i get mine without the chili paste and it's still really delicious. The shaved ice are more like blended drinks and are really flavorful and also a good price. I've seen Manny's at times where there's almost nobody there and then at times where it's packed. The food comes out fairly quick when it's not super busy, but I will say it's slower when it's busy but that's only because there's like 3 people working. The wait is definitely worth it! read more

I've had my eyes on this place before I moved to SC. This place is bomb! The I cream was fresh the shaved ice was refreshing. I came with picky eaters, but they both left born again! This place slaps! The shaved ice was not sugary like and not artificial tasting like the ice cream man's selection, but a perfect balance of sweetness. I am telling everyone I know that this is the spot. I will become a regular. read more

Let's leave this review to Caylie Lauren my daughter who requested this Mexican Gem on a Saturday after noon! What I loved the most was that the prices were very affordable for even a large family! The treats are just as good as their presentation. Cold, sweet and memorable. The chamoyada, corn on the cob and pineapple fruit cup was all so satisfying. If you blink you may miss it but once you visit you will always remember the smiles on everyone's faces. You can not make a mistake with whatever you choose on the menu, so if I were you I would study before hand due to so many options! Tell them a Realtor With an Appetite sent ya. read more
