    Mangoneada
    Marissa S.

    Great location, close to some amazing taco shops. Delicious mangonada - perfect treat for hot summer days! Also enjoyed the elote, but wish it was a little less watery.

    We had a great time stopping in for a treat after reading about the shop in the Star. The variety is impressive!! There are over 40 types of popsicles and a dozen kinds of scoop-able ice cream/sorbets. The strawberry was just perfect - like a grown up sno-cone and the birthday cake my date got was also awesome. We also tried the strawberry cheesecake, the lime, the pine nut and the pineapple flavors. The shop has a few seats inside and tables outside. It was perfect as a mid-day treat and would be amazing as dessert with the many restaurants nearby.

    Great food. Amazing workers. Welcoming and hardworking. Fun store. Lots of colors and good atmosphere. Immediate 5 stars.

    fresas con crema, elote (large), Mangoneada fresa

    Loved this place so much we came back again the next day. Finally found a place that offers more variety of sweet and savory items with ice cream and different fruits and elotes. Inside is small but they move fast and make everything as you order. There's nice seating outside and the size of our items was more than enough with a lot of champs and candy in the mangoneadas.

    My first time here! Lots of sherbets and sorbets which isn't really my thing. The ice cream they do have is fantastic! Friendly and helpful staff. Many of the labels on the ice cream cases weren't correct so be sure to ask and confirm the flavor you're thinking about trying.

    BEST flavors. Good price ($10 with tip). Can't wait to come back and try everything on their menu!

    Fresa con crema
    Michelle D.

    The options were endless. If I wasn't eating a bunch of barbecue after, I would have ordered more things. The selection of flavors of the paletas was endless that I didn't know what to choose. I went with a classic strawberries and cream and it was really good. We also got a passion fruit agua fresca which was also great. I would definitely come back and try more things if I'm ever back in Kansas City.

    Pistachio in a waffle cone
    Scott M.

    I love how many choices are here. There is something for everyone. My son got the birthday cake on a sugar cone. I got the pistachio on a waffle cone (my litmus test at a new ice cream shop). Honestly, though, it was the worst pistachio ice cream I've had. I have to go back and try some other things. They also had some really good sounding smoothies and many other items. The atmosphere is good. There was a line. Maybe I just got the wrong thing. I will update my review at that time.

    Service was quick and the ice cream and treats were amazing. Lots of flavor options to choose from.

    Dulce De Leche milkshake
    Lauriona C.

    My midday office snack was a delectable Dulce de Leche milkshake. This milkshake was so thick and creamy! I door dashed the order, so unfortunately I didn't get the opportunity to visit the location myself, but for it to still be thick even after the door dash ride, I am impressed and definitely satisfied. I can't wait to go in person and try all the other delicious items.

    One of the best dessert spots in KC! The downtown area lacks good dessert options, so this is often my go-to. Tropicana isn't your typical ice cream shop by any means. There's an array of ice creams, fresh popsicles and more. It's often times hard to order because there are so many unique things to try! The service is great too. Tropicana is always packed. That said, the line moves quickly! The staff is friendly and ready to answer questions... because not gonna lie, we always have a lot! With so many flavors and options, I always have to be sure I make a delicious decision!

    SUMMER GELATO IS BACK AT ANNEDORE'S! This is huge for us as we live in the neighborhood and it's A)…read moreDelicious and B) Incredibly convenient. Everyone loves going out for ice cream. I love a lot of spots around the metro, but let's be honest, some of them get crazy busy and you end up waiting in line for a while. That's not a dealbreaker, but with a summer of social distancing, it's nice to have a spot like Annedore's that is tucked into the neighborhoods, has outdoor seating, and is never too busy. Their gelato is so good, and the service is friendly as it gets. We've made a tradition of walking up here as a family once a week, and together we've ordered or sampled: Cookies & Cream, Birthday Cake, Mint Chip, Chocolate Chip, Coconut, Strawberry, Berry Sorbet, Vanilla, and Lemon Basil. All are great (not crazy about the birthday cake one my kiddo always gets), the Berry Sorbet and Lemon Basil are standouts on a hot day. Their portions are generous, prices are very fair, the outdoor seating is great, and it's a very clean shop. Oh, and I recently discovered that macarons are delicious, and theirs are some of the best around. They're around $2.50 a pop and well worth it. I cannot recommend this place enough for gelato, macarons, and of course chocolate if that's your thing. Want to skip lines for ice cream (well, gelato) this summer and still support local? This is your spot. Bookmark it!

    We FINALLY moseyed our way into Hey Sugar today and we were not disappointed! Right off the top,…read moreyou can see from the outside that it's going to be adorable...it's hot pink and aesthetic to the max! But then you walk in and to call it charmingly sweet is an understatement. We came in specifically for an ice cream cone on a hot summer day but if you are in search of hard to find or unique candy, this is a good place to stop in as they have selections from all over the world! I was also pleasantly surprised to find out they stock ice cream from One More Scoop which is always a favorite in our house! Although it was a difficult decision after some sampling, I went with the Gooey Butter Cake ice cream on a sugar cone and my forever date chose the coconut cream pie ice cream in a cup. SO MUCH YUM! If you find yourself in the area, please stop in to Hey Sugar! They are delicious, kind and the vibe is totally spot on. (Special shout out to the beverage drinking bovine on the wall...so cute!)

How?…read more Well, the brightest pink building in a tri-state area might have had something to do with it! Just as cute on the inside as the out, Hey Sugar is a TOTAL gem! We popped in for ice cream, of which they had dozens of incredible flavors (which they were extremely generous in sampling out!), but they also have sweets and treats of so many other varieties! Candy, shakes, Italian sodas, shaved ice, dippin dots, and agua frescas, at the very least! Suffice to say, there's countless ways to earn your cavities here! ...and you'll love every second of it! The young lady working the counter on our visit was super kind and helpful, and her ice cream-scooping prowess was outstanding! There are a few tables to sit and enjoy your delectable sweets, as you admire all the different candy and treats you can purchase to take along with you! Hey Sugar shot to the top of our list to visit any time we have a sweet tooth in this part of town!
