The one on Flintlock is the one I visited and am reviewing. Came here after having dinner at Texas Roadhouse. Would have preferred ice cream but other people in my party selected this. It is a small shed located to the side of the parking lot in a shopping center. They had picnic tables with umbrellas for seating and a trash can. Not the most scenic place to sit in a parking lot near a road but I digress. People in my party had small sugar free cherry, small tiger's blood with pina colada and I had the North Shore which is passion fruit, mango & pineapple, with coconut ice cream and snow cap. It was tasty. I have never had shaved ice in Hawaii only snow cones so it is much better than a snow cone but I can't compare it to shaved ice in Hawaii or even on the mainland as it is not something I have sought out before. They have a lot of choices. Individual flavors or a menu with specialties. Staff was friendly, order came out quickly. I didn't pay so I am not sure how much it was but a small is listed on their website for $3.75. I am not sure if the specialities cost more. It was a fun experience to have but not my personal favorite thing to have so I would probably not come again.

The ice was perfectly fluffy, and the syrups were delicious. I also loved that they offer sugar-free flavors and have plenty of preset combinations if you want to try something new.

This place is seriously a KC staple and will probably be my favorite shaved ice spot for as long as they stick with us! They have a ton of flavors, including sugar free options that I really appreciate. They also have a stamp rewards card now that I absolutely fill up haha. Recently they added Hawaiian style which is stuffed with ice cream and a sweet cream top! They are amazing, the ice cream they are stuffed with is from Betty Raes another local fav! I'll save you the wondering, its delicious and if you like ice cream and you like shaved ice they go together perfect! This is just a simple little shack with an ice machine, some shaded picnic tables, delicious cold treats and really friendly staff. Island Ice still has that nostalgic, old school stand vibe I remember, but they keep making it better with updates. Always happy to come back here!

The first time I had the Peach Cobbler Sno-Ball and it was literally the best shaved ice I had ever had! (and I'm a huge shaved ice connoisseur). The 2nd time I had the Orange Dreamsicle Sno-Ball and it was equally as delicious. When I order at the window, I always ramble and mush and shower them with compliments because the owner is just so sweet. He always has me try my Sno-Ball in front of him to ensure that I love it.

A New Orleans Style Sno-Ball truck! On a hot day like this, that's PERFECT! So, they do one thing. But they do it WELL. The shaved ice is so soft and easy to eat with a spoon. The flavors are delicious, and they put enough in so that the entire cup (which is huge btw) tastes great. We went with two of the specialty flavors: Grandma's Custard and Peach Cobbler. Both were killer, but Peach Cobbler is the winner in my book. It was sprinkled with cinnamon, which I think is a great touch. Another great touch? The low price! I can't recall how much it was, but certainly affordable. The guy was nice, which is always a bonus. He said that he is usually set up at First Fridays and then in the Bottoms for First Weekends. So far no web presence, Twitter, or Facebook, so hunting the guy down seems to be a challenge. But if you see this truck, I implore you to go treat yourself to a Sno-Ball!

So, I paid extra for more syrup next time thinking it would help. Instead, they filled a cup with syrup and put a tiny scoop of ice on top.

To top it off, their staff consists of a bunch of chatting teens who seem irritated to have to do anything.

We had two events that were supposed to be held here, one was quite out of the blue (so I understand the outcome) we called into the shop and no one was there (although it says it is open) I was just disappointed due to the lack of warning or signage but I still understand- the second time though is unacceptable. We had an event planned at this location for two months, the day we were going to go in we wanted to call ahead and let them know a large group would be coming in- no answer. We arrived and it was closed. PLEASE for the love of GOD. Run a functioning business- with regular hours or at least provide updates to a website/signage so people don't plan to have an outing there- if you want returning customers please act like it. I'm so sad to leave this review- I really do love this place their icecream and employees are so pleasant but I will have to find somewhere else to go. I wish the owners the best and o hope management and fix this and make this place enjoyable again
