    Alllllllll the flavors
    Luisa R.

    Whats better than shaved ice with sweet flavoring on a hot day?! I stopped in today during my lunch break. I was able to order fairly quick and received my order quick too! The staff was nice and the transaction was super fast. They have a several picnic tables on their property with umbrellas for families to sit and enjoy their treats. After getting my snow cone, I walked right back to my car to enjoy it in the air conditioning. It melted super fast and less than five minutes later it was all soupy sweet water, sooooo I ended up throwing more than half of it away. I was a little disappointed by their pricing for what you get. Do note: they do have a plethora of flavors!

    The shaved ice had a great flavor I really enjoyed the pineapple flavor it was more unique than the cherry.

    Love their shave ice! It's super fine ice and not crunchy. My only complaint is that it's a little pricy for what you get.

They are so unique and delightfully surprising! They were such a hit at our wedding and brought a unique element. Not only can you chose between amazing flavors, but you can also customize the names of the signature flavors that you pick out! They were so professional, confident, personable, and such a pleasure to work with! They were so great with my husband and I, making sure they were set up the way we wanted and so great with our guests! Our flavors we chose were amazing and you can tell the difference with the flavors that they use! They are all organic and you can DEFINITELY tell! I have to say my favorite was the strawberry mojito and the watermelon with ICE CREAM!!! It was delicious! We will definitely be using them again for future events! They made us feel like family and they were so nice and wonderful to work with! Love love LOVE Southern Snowballs!

I literally drove up and down the shopping plaza and almost gave up. I pulled into a parking spot, looked at reviews, scrolled and scrolled and bam! Someone was super helpful with where it was actually located. So now, I felt the need to put that as the first thing to read on the review haha. There's plenty of parking! Just beware of your surroundings, there were a few homeless people walking around begging/going up to cars. Definitely seems like this is an overall ongoing issue in Charlotte as a whole. The market is massive but I didn't buy anything from the store. I definitely wanted to buy some snacks from different countries in Asia but I had sushi leftovers in the car so I was trying to make it a quick trip. I made my way to the very right side of the store where the bakery and food stands were. The cashier was friendly and I ordered quite a bit of bakery items including a taro bun, red bean cream bun, macaroons, a cookie, and a Thai tea with boba. Everything was delicious, no complaints! I do wish more things were in stock but being that everything tasted great, I'm sure Hong Kong Bakery gets a lot of traction. This is a great small bakery. The location is hard to find but just remember...it's inside the grocery store. When you enter the building, turn right, and go all the way straight until you pass the cash registers and home goods section. You'll see it! Enjoy!

It's so hard to find authentic HK style baked goods in NC & I finally found it here. The breads are very fresh, fluffy, generously sized and well flavored. The egg tarts & sesame balls are excellent too. Definitely will be a haunt for me when I'm in the area. This is also locally owned so support your small mom & pop businesses.

This location had a large table for a group as well as some smaller tables for a few people. There were also some tables outside. The interior was decorated cutely. In terms of service, the workers were friendly but my drink took a little longer than I expected to come out... like it was ready after a bunch of other people got their orders (who were behind me in line), so that was interesting. I got the Banana Pudding Matcha Latte! This was on their seasonal menu so I definitely wanted to try it. It either came in matcha or espresso form, but the worker recommended matcha to me. Upon the first sip, I definitely tasted the matcha. It was a bit earthy tasting, but not the earthiest I have had. After I mixed the drink together (little pushing the vanilla wafers down to breakdown into little pieces), the banana pudding taste really came through. I am not a fan of matcha, but I enjoyed the drink... probably because the banana pudding flavor overpowered the matcha flavor after mixing everything thoroughly. If you like matcha, then this is your go-to spot in Charlotte! There is probably something most people would like here as they also have non-matcha options as well.
