    Great shaved ice! Loved it. Perfect after a day at beach. Well worth it. Generous portion. Try it!

    Love this place. I come here to fill our water jugs and sometimes get a thrifty ice cream cone…read more Service is always good and we never have to wait in a long line. Def recommend!

    There hasn't been any new reviews for this place in over 2 years and you will learn why…read more My wife and daughter tagged along with me for an ice cream outing on 12/8/24 Sunday afternoon. The business name on the exterior store front actually says "Water & More" so don't come here looking for "Neptune's Waters" as listed on their Yelp business page. There's plenty of parking, it's shared parking with multiple businesses in a strip mall setting. A few doors down is Goodwill and you can't miss that. Inside of this place is completely hole in the wall vibe. If you've ever gone to Tijuana Mexico for dental services like I have and had to sit in their waiting room lobby, this is that kind of vibe. Forget the nice ambience you've seen at Coldstone Creamery or Baskin Robbins, this ain't it so be prepared. If Chef Ramsay from Hell's Kitchen had a restaurant rescue episode and they were doing ice cream shops than they would NEED to come here. The interior of this store has the same level of appeal as a Chevron gas station public restroom. I hope they will change this. Older 2+ year reviews show nicer IKEA type of furniture pieces in store but that's not the case now. Currently, it looks like they went to Goodwill next door and got the most run down furniture pieces they could find and took that into their own store. This was our very first time here so we had questions. We asked about sizes, pricing and flavors. The worker was a female high school looking person. The questions we asked were weakly answered in a bare whisper tone even though there was a live TV in the background that superseded the workers whispering tone. Not sure if she was trying to be girly cute or win the most unprofessional worker of the year award but she was definitely NOT wanting to be working there. She might as well be wearing a shirt that said "I H8 my job" as this already showed in her face and demeanor. We would have been better served by a robot drone than this live person. If you think you're having a great day and nothing can change your mood, than please come here and experience their customer service. It will make you think twice about that good day you're having. So she wasn't exactly rude but simply unfriendly. Maybe we interrupted her social media livestream before we entered the store, who knows? We are a couple in our 40's with a teen daughter, a typical family from Hawaii. Why couldn't we at least get a "hello how are you guys doing?" from the high school looking worker. Did we look like Puff Diddy henchman white party recruiters to her? No we're not but she was socially awkward like we were. Truly weird. Why put her in front to interact with your customers? Place her in back of house duties instead. Let her interact with dirty dishes and taking out the trash instead. Look at my profile pic, I don't give out Puff Diddy vibes, neither does my wife or daughter. Tell your high school worker to pretend that all customers are Justin Bieber and that will mentally prepare her high school mind for correct customer interactions. So finally the ONLY good part of this review: they really do have a great selection of old school Thrifty's ice cream here. All the good flavors you can think of: Butter Pecan, Strawberry Cheesecake, Pineapple Coconut, Chocolate Mint, Chocolate Chip, Cotton Candy, and many many more. Thrifty's ice cream is the best of the best!! The only people who will understand this is the older generation. If your generation played Nintendo and Sega Genesis video games, than you know what I mean. This was the best ice cream back in the day and in my opinion still is awesome. So will I come here again? Yes, I will but strictly only for the ice cream. They do sell other things like filtered water, milk shakes, floats but we only got the ice cream. I highly highly recommend the ice cream so please come here. So as of 12/8/24 the interior design of this place is EPIC FAIL as well as the customer service we got. Business owner(s) of this place please think about retraining your staff. Basic customer service is not rocket science. Here I'll give you some free tips: say a greeting, engage with customers with friendly chatter, offer ice cream samples, and do all this with a smile. ALL of which was not done with us even though we spent almost $40 in ice cream on our 1st visit. But remember, don't expect any form of customer service not even the bare minimum and don't be surprised when you see the inside of the store look like a Tijuana Mexico dental service waiting lobby. Just go and get your ice cream and get out. Enjoy eating that ice cream at home. Best suited for Door Dash or Uber Eats delivery so you don't have to see the inside of the store and deal with their customer service. I actually wanted to give this place 1 star but the ice cream by itself added the extra 3 stars so I reconsidered the 1 star rating. It's that good!!

    What a great place! We love Hawaiian shaved ice, and this place blew most shops and food trucks out…read moreof the water. The staff is friendly and informative, really making the whole experience awesome! Just wow, the shop is beautifully put together and super clean. My kid exploded their sno-cone all over and the staff was amazing! So sorry, and thank you so much for your understanding and great service. Now the real star of the shop, the amazing options! The posters of the specialty desserts are mouthwatering, and make it so hard to decide what to order, as you want them all. Combine that with the temptation of ice cream, and it's a real dilemma of deliciousness. So good. We were all very happy and can't wait to come back. Thank you!

    Really cute and clean interior, great place for dessert and time with the family or friends. The…read moreworker was really nice and we were in and out very quick. We got the POG sno - hawaiian style (with ice cream on the bottom, and coconut cream on top). The pog combination might've made it too syrupy, my ice was a complete syrupy mess in the middle and it was way too sweet, I would just do one flavor next time, and tell them to use half the amount of syrup. I love the combination of ice cream and shaved ice though, I'll definitely be back. Note to owners: would loveeee a mochi topping!!!

    So many delicious decisions. Plenty of flavors of shave ice or ice cream or why not both!

    As someone born and raised in Louisiana, soul food isn't just food to me--it's home, it's family,…read moreit's love on a plate. I've been living in Arizona for almost four years now, and I haven't had real soul food in all that time... until tonight. Mel N Libby's showed up at my apartment complex, and I knew I had to try it--but I'll admit, I was nervous. If you're Southern, you know what I mean. I asked where she was from, because a real Southern cook just knows. When she said the Carolinas, I felt that nervousness melt away. I ordered the Mel Special, and let me tell you--this was a feast. Ribs, tenders, baked mac and cheese, collard greens, fried shrimp, cornbread, and banana pudding. The portions were generous, the food was hot, and every bite tasted like it was made with intention and love. My first bite honestly brought me to tears. It reminded me so much of my mom's cooking--comforting, rich, soulful. It healed a part of my homesick heart that I didn't even realize was still aching. Mel N Libby's isn't just serving food--they're serving memories, comfort, and a true taste of the South. If you're missing home, craving soul food done right, or just want a meal that feeds your spirit as much as your stomach... don't walk--run to this truck. I will be back every chance I get.
