Yep, best snow cone ever. Hands down. I hear they'll be at US Bank Stadium as well, and they'll serve them spiked there! Let's go!

I learned about Minnesnowii Shave Ice when I went to the Kickoff to Summer with my Yelp friends…read more This year, I went with my husband and decided to get a mangonada. It was delicious. I was surprise to see boba on it, but it works! The tamarind candy was a bit hard to bite and peel off, but that's OK. There was along line at the Kickoff to Summer, which was surprising, because I didn't see that last year. There were multiple windows to order from. The staff cashier and shave ice crafters were friendly and approachable. Definitely worth it. I also saw mocha on the menu, but my heart was already set on mangonada. It is normally $8, unless you're getting the specialty ones like mangonada. They accept cash and card.

When I saw Kurb Side's adorable old fashioned/retro truck parked near Tin Fish, I had to restrain…read moremyself from screaming and jumping for joy. You're telling me that I can get a Sno Ball, like I'm used to getting only in the South, at Lake Calhoun?! Remember on Saved By the Bell when Jessie took speed and was in an aerobic video and said manically over and over, "I'm so excited!" That was me minus the drugs and the spandex. Okay, giddiness aside if I must, here's what you need to know: *two sizes, served in take-out containers. Small (think a side of rice) - $3, large (think what your last order of Kung Pao chicken came in) - $5 *a TON of flavors including Georgia peach, wedding cake, tiger's blood (yes, you read that correctly), blue bubble gum, dreamsicle *additional flavors or sweet cream will run you an additional $.50 each *they have sugarfree options, which I forgot to explore since I was just too excited, a la Jessie Spano I ordered the small king cake as this is a New Orleans-style sno ball truck, after all. It was a perfect purple sno ball with unidentifiable sweetness. I don't know what king cake is supposed to taste like, but I do know that there wasn't a tiny baby in my sno ball like there are in traditional king cakes. That would have been super creepy. It's finally (maybe, hopefully, finger-crossed) summer in Minneapolis and this should be at the tip-top of everyone's bucket list for the foreseeable future.

We hired Kurb Side Ice for a small corporate event and don't have enough good things to say about…read morethem. They reached out to confirm the event multiple times, and were a giant hit with our guests. Their old-fashioned truck is adorable, and their sno balls quite literally had people coming back for more. I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again for a future event!

Meet my new obsession, the Strawberry Snowbing!!! Wow, I tried to explain it to my daughter but…read moreI'm afraid I don't have the words to describe it properly. It's "like" Hawaiian shaved ice, but so much better... like the difference between powdery snow (Snowbing) vs heavy sleet (regular shaved ice). Service and ambiance was just okay since it's just served cafeteria style. Make sure you have time to eat it in the restaurant, because it would melt before you could take it home.

I ordered online for pick up which worked out well cause the drive amounted to the defaulted wait time. Wish they had more of a system or signs for online pickups because there's no real guidance once you're inside. They have a cute tiger drinking boba mural on the wall and adorable wall paper. Aside from the confusion for where to pickup, service was fast and friendly. Calamari was crisp but tender and stayed that way. Worth the drive.
