Overall Impression on Suzy Sno: Finding this place was a fortunate accident, and I'm glad that the…read morestars aligned to enable my family the pleasure of patronizing the business. The Taste: The menu boasts a whole lotta flavor selections - choices GA-LORE! We ordered a few choices, as depicted. I'd certainly come back again and again for any one of the flavors that we chose, but on my next visit, I'll likely make different choices to expand on the tasting experience. Judging by the outcome of my initial visit, though, I'm sure the other flavors are going to be equally satisfying. The Texture: the tiniest little shaved ice balls. Not at all clumpy. Flavor is distributed evenly throughout each cup. Just right...juicy but not drippy. I remember as a kid the snowcones I'd get would have flavors concentrated at the bottom and the tops would be more icy - NOT that the case with our Suzy Sno cups. The Spot: The building is located on North 2nd Street between Jackson & Marshall, nestled between a row of buildings and revitalization. It sits among the growing mix of spirited entrepreneurs in "The Ward" (that's the Jackson Ward section of downtown... if you don't know, now yaknow). The indoor aesthetic perfectly suits the location... when I stepped inside it put me in the mindset of being in a shabby-chic museum, with the longest blue wall for the people. The walk from the doorway to the counter feels like a stroll through an oldtime parlor room or boutique. The bold decor is deeply rooted and traces back through time with colorful elements from notable people, places, and objects. The Backstory: My family visited Richmond for a weekend-long football tournament in the Glen Allen area. Before our final departure for the return trip home to NJ, the children insisted that we go "Downtown" to take in the sites and sounds of the city. It was on a quiet and moderately cool Sunday afternoon. We parked our car on 3rd street and stumbled upon a few Bird city bikes and took a tour around the area surrounding VCU. After the riding, we were in no hurry to get back to the car because I still needed to walk off the hefty portion of BBQ deliciousness we had eaten at SmoHK BBQ which had my belly fully satisfied with leftovers in hand (that review is next on my list). And I am so glad we turned the corner off Jackson because otherwise, I would have completely missed out on enjoying my Suzy Sno experience. Other Deets: the woman at the counter was super sweet and friendly. I asked her name before we headed out (it's Rabbia). I told her that I wanted to leave a Yelp review to support the business... little did I know mine would be the first. We left Richmond a few days ago. While Googling to find the precise address to use for this Yelp review, I found myself beholden by food blogs and other news stories about a Suzy Sno grand opening just recently and that the owner was a TV "cheftestant". Come to find out, the woman who served me is the owner. She was so kind and humble, I would've never known she was a local celebrity.

Highly, highly recommended!

You need to pull the red tab and gently pull the plastic towards left and right to detach it from the seaweed. Then you close the onigiri and eat.

What I did learn is that it gets expensive really fast, so I would come here for a quick snack, but if you're starving, you can easily spend $30+ on 3 onigiri and a tea.

I ordered the ChumChum Milk Tea which comes with boba and a sea salt milk cap and it was delicious! Boba was on the firmer side which I prefer and the tea was some of the best I've had. Their sea salt milk cap is unique compared to other places in that it is a very thick almost cream cheese like consistency - bit overwhelming on its own but when mixed with the milk tea it added an extra complexity to the tea flavor. I also ordered two onigiris but they weren't the greatest - heavy on the rice which was either dry, or loosely packed, or something, since they didn't hold together really well. I'd definitely go back for the tea though! And maybe to try some of the other stuff on their menu.

They have three flavors of icecream for dogs: Beef, Chicken, Peanutbutter all for $1.25. I'd say this is a must go to and worth the drive.
