Tropical moose is a must in the summer! My favorite is the Georgia sunshine, but they offer…read moremultiple flavors and toppings such as nerds, whipped cream, pop rocks and sprinkles. We even take the dogs and they have a dog flavored snow cone.. however, last time it was just plain ice and whipped cream for something like 2$.. normally it's worth it when it's the actual flavor for the dogs. Ours didn't really care for just the plain ice and whipped cream and it seemed excessive to charge for that. The sizes range from mini to extra large jumbo but honestly, the mini does the trick. Good ice to syrup ratio for the most part. They usually have young highschoolers working and there's usually a line. it is definitely a hangout spot for young people and the vibe with the farmers market really is fun. They have a lot of seating around, picnic tables as well as benches and plenty of parking as it is basically connected to the Kirkwood farmers market. I also liked that they're open relatively later. Also, if you ever get a chance to try the waffles from the waffle truck, highly suggest! Overall a great snowcone stand.

The employee was very good and helpful with my several questions before I spent a few bucks on one of these. People really love this place and I'm not sure why... nostalgia? This isn't finely shaved shave like Hawaiian style. These are snow cones... as in ice cones... as in chunks almost as large as what the ice cream van peddled. I thought we were all past this style when we were introduced to shave(d) ice. No? I gave up on mine after a couple of minutes. Styrofoam cups. I feel guilty. I am sorry, Planet Earth. I regret it.

All the flavors just brings back so many childhood memories of asking my family for a couple dollars to get one I typically always order Tigers Blood with extra juice. This is a wonderful summer treat or after school reward if you have children. They have picnic benches outside that you are able to sit to enjoy the weather with this sweet iced treat!! They do not accept credit/debit cards so make sure you have cash when stopping by.

There isn't much parking on the lot but that's why the side streets exist. I opted for a large. Combo of black cherry, wild cherry, and sour cherry. I felt there wasn't enough contrast between sour and wild cherry. Next time I'll go medium and get black cherry, lemonade or limeade, and sour cherry. The only thing I'd change: The styrofoam. It's 2019. Even if you have to raise prices by a quarter or fifty cents a size. Even if it doesn't insulate as well. No styrofoam. Just consider it. Thanks!

It was an overall great place and we will be back!

Nothing says "we made it to spring" like the opening of Tropical SNO snow cone stand. Personally,…read moresnow cones (Merriam-Webster says both sno-cone and snow cone are correct spellings) do nothing for me. But they jazz my kid so much they are worth every ridiculous cent I've every paid for one. And the flavors at Tropical SNO are pretty awesome. (Check our the photo). We take swing dance lessons just behind the parking lot where the snow cone stand sits, and we watched it all winter, sad and lonely and shuttered against the cold. We celebrated when we spotted its lights on last week and we had to stop. I had forgotten how enormous these shaved ice treats are. And the cups they serve them in are way better than those stupid paper cups you get elsewhere. And for those of us who just want a coffee to avoid all the calories -- they have that too. Tip - you can't see this place from Manchester Road it's hidden back off Old Meramec in a parking lot. Keep going. Your GPS isn't leading you the wrong way.

BEST SNO-CONE IN ST. LOUIS HANDS DOWN!!!…read more Pretty much the only worthwhile thing I learned from my high school boyfriend was the location of this sno-cone place. If you want the perfect sno-cone, go here. They literally soak your sno-cone in juice. Literally...it's dripping with sugary goodness. And how good is their flavor selection??? It covers the side of the sno-cone hut. They also pile the ice on...and it's perfect ice. Smooth, no chunks...it's amazing. And....it's cheap! Not to mention, the couple that runs the place...I mean...wow. They are at least half the experience. They fight with each other and will tell you their life story if you let them. Plus...the crazy sno-cone lady (as my sister has lovingly come to call her) has actually written a book!!! How fantastic and ridiculous is this place?? A word of warning, on good nights, the line can get loooooooong, and though not surprising...it's cash only. I mean come, it is a hut on the side of Telegraph Road in a fairly abandoned strip mall parking lot. What do you expect? Also, for the do-gooder in you: They donate a ton of their proceeds to injured veterans. So...it's a guilt free sno-cone. Completely worth the drive to far out South County...trust me.

If you want the BEST snow cone in SoCo... look no further…read more This place has quite the reputation... in many ways! What's so great about a snow cone you ask????? WELL... let's start with the ice. You can't beat how smooth their ice is! It melts in your mouth and you barely need to chew any piece. Next... the juice. Sometimes you want to ask for extra juice... but fear not, for its plenty! By the time you get to the bottom you use the straw to suck up some of that juicy goodness to get to more of that fabulous ice! Then, the SIZES!!!! I get a small. Why? Its NOT small! Whatever size you order its double the size of the cup, They fill the cup with ice, then stack a second cup on top then juice it up! The flavors. Its crazy how many flavors they have! I stick with my three fabs... Cherry, Banana, or Rum and Butter! MMMMM! I hear their Tiger Blood is also awesome. Now... what do YOU need to do to prepare for this snow cone goodness? BE PREPARED and KNOW YOUR ORDER. Know what size you and your group want and what flavor. When you get to the window, they will ask you what size - then after that, the flavor. IF you aren't prepared you might not make the stand owners happy and they "may" yell NEXT! But the lines are long and they want to keep the line moving and serving more yummy snow cone goodness to all their loyal customers! Go Forth and Snow Cone!
