    Medium bowl  Guava syrup  Condensed milk Mango Coconut flakes
    Rahn C.

    The medium bowl was the perfect amount for a big boy like myself. As a Polynesian I will respectfully say that their shaved ice was not shaved ice. Tbh I think the staff member who was making them was packing it down and making it into a snow ball; warm hands will melt the ice and it will form into the crunchy 'snow cone' kind of ice. Which means the ice will no longer be shaved ice lol However, I enjoyed the flavors. Guava is really sweet and tastes great paired with the mango fruit. The coconut flakes adds a sweet little crunch to it too. Staff is very friendly and gave good recommendations. FYI- this is a stand outside, in-between two buildings, not indoors. But great seating area next to a tiki bar stand! A cute lil Aloha Friday! Lol

    It was a hot day, and my husband and I came across this shaved ice place to help relieve us from the heat. Snow Fresca's shaved ice was refreshing, delicious, flavorful, and fresh. The syrup must be made from the real fruit. It does not taste like the artificial syrups that you may usually have with shaved ice. We ordered it with guava and passion fruit syrup, coconut ice cream, and coconut cream, coconut flakes, and passion fruit glaze to top it off. It was so delicious that we devoured whole thing in a matter of minutes! Looking forward to coming back again for more!

    Such a vibe! Taking me back to Kauai with fresh fruit island flavors. Enjoy this spot Friday and weekends only during the summer. So good that I had to get another so don't kid yourself just order the bigger size from the start. Conveniently in the outdoor dining section of Castro valley marketplace.

    Hands down my favorite spot to go now here in Castro Valley. Great shaved ice dessert. Comparable to Matsumoto in Hawaii. My favorite combo is guava , passion fruit & dragon fruit syrup with vanilla ice cream, toasted coconut topping and fresh cut mango, with condensed milk. It's the bomb!!! Come out and check them out. Great vibes and great customer service!

    One of the best shaved ice I ever had even better than Hawaii shaved ice shops in terms of flavor. Great customer service as well...

    The texture of the shaved ice is amazing, so soft and melts right away, the syrups pack so much flavor all around.

    You know when you host an event and don't have time to eat? Well, the food is so good (I promise…read moreyour guests will be talking about it) it'll force you to take time to eat (and even grab seconds!). Passion for Catering was recommended by a friend and booked them for our baby shower of about 75 guests. I wasn't expecting anything more than good food and good service but what we received blew away expectations. The team was responsive throughout the booking process (a huge plus) and offered an eclectic and robust menu. That's all great to start but the real test came the day of our event. Their team was there on time to set up and food was ready by the time our first guests arrived. The food was delectable and truly made our time with friends and family memorable. Just as Passion for Catering was recommended to us by a friend, we'll be recommending them to all our friends on the market for a caterer. *kicking myself for not taking photos but will update for our next event!

    I can confidently say.....I will never use another catering company again…read more Passion for Catering is my forever choice!! The curated experience and top notch food is a WINNER! Priscilla is dedicated to making every event special. Always on time and communication is seamless. I've been using Passion for a few work events and now all my parties at home too. Looking forward to upcoming events and seeing what creative ideas they come up with. 10/10 Recommend!!

    Solid authentic Indian food exceeding quality expectations and a veteran in takeout service…read more Phulkari Indian Cuisine is a top choice for us when we are in the area as their food is delicious, made fresh, and packaged well for on the go families like us. We have our favorites from their menu but they host a variety of curries, proteins, and small bites/street eats. Panipuri - crispy balls ready to be loaded up with lentils, delicious fillings and sauces, these mouthfuls are great for starters but you'll find yourself eating these throughout the meal not only because you're hungry but also because you just can't get enough of them. Samosas - hearty fried dumplings packed with potatoes that are perfect for eating on the go. Great by itself or with sauces and curry, these hot pockets are a burst of flavor that will stuff you up. Goat curry - full of flavor and a bit on the spicy end for those sensitive to capsaicin. Pair with naan or rice and you'll be golden, from the tastes you'll be experience as well as the heat! Butter paneer/chicken - the sweetness of the curry is subtle but the creaminess is what will win you over. Smothered over chicken or paneer, this is a delicious palate pleaser. Biryani - solid staple, flavorful and cooked perfectly. Great by itself or paired with some curry or a grilled entree. Salmon - delicious but a bit overcooked for my liking but in a pinch, omega-3s can be supplemented in this meal. Overall, Phulkari satisfies our craving for Indian curry any day and it's great knowing that the experience will consistently be a good one anytime those cravings come up. We haven't had a chance to dine in but would welcome the opportunity to visit for a sit down. For now, they're still our go-to for Indian cuisine when we are in the area. Unsure of where you'll end up settling for food or not having the time or space to cook an elaborate meal packed with flavors and aromas? Phulkari pulls through as the restaurant of choice!

    I used to like them but lately their chicken has been really fatty and hard to eat and their rice…read morethat comes with the meal is supposed to be 8oz but you barely get 5oz with the box. For as expensive as it is I expect much more from them.

    This review is very belated. We had Talaveras Tacos cater an event for ~70 people at a park last…read moresummer. They were wonderful to work with, from start to finish: very responsive to our initial inquiries, pricing was as expected, and the team showed up on time and was ready to serve food on time. They also packed up the leftovers before they left so that latecomers could still eat. My only critique was that the elotes didn't look like the pic on Yelp. But everything was delicious, and people were going back for more!

    We hired Talavera Tacos for our baby shower this past weekend based on glowing recommendations from…read morefriends and family. While the food eventually arrived, the experience leading up to and during the event was fraught with unnecessary stress. Initial communication was great, but it trailed off as we got closer to the date. Despite their "quick response" phone number, my calls and texts went completely ignored. To make matters worse, the voicemail changed from a personal greeting to a generic one 72 hours before my event, leaving me terrified that we had been scammed. We increased our headcount from 65 to 75 a week prior. After being told this was fine, I was sent an incorrect invoice that ignored the new guest count and asked for a second $300 deposit I had already paid. It took multiple follow-up emails just to get a confirmation on the final numbers. On the day of, the staff arrived promptly and set up on time. However, only 30 minutes into service--with only 30 of our 75 guests fed--they completely ran out of cilantro, onions, and grilled peppers. When I followed up the next day, they claimed they prepared for "70 guests." Even if that were true, it wasn't the 75 we paid for, and it certainly doesn't explain running out of basic toppings after 30 people. I'm incredibly glad we didn't use them for our wedding last year as originally planned. It's disappointing when the service doesn't match the reputation. 2 stars for due prompt service and the guests that got all the food really enjoyed the steak & shrimp.
