    I found this place by accident a while ago driving around in Katy, and I must say I'm glad I found…read moreit! Living in Katy I always thought that I had to travel to Houston. No no no..... TexasSno is parked at the gas station on the side off of Franz, you can miss it's. This is fine shaved ice with a lot of flavors to choose to name a few Captain America, Ironman, Tigers blood and etc. One of my favorites is Strawberry Shortcake with extra condensed milk. They do offer other topping gummy bears, Carmel and other candies. Carmel Apple with with condensed milk is also good. The staff if real friendly, and helpful with selections if you are overwhelmed with decisions. Once you get a hold of one these you feel like a little kid and just doing the happy dance. On a nice hot Texas day this will definitely hit the spot!

    Hopefully I'll be able to revisit and rewrite this as a 5 star. The snowcone was good, but the…read morecustomer service was terrible. The experience was less than a 3 star, so I'm stressing that the product was good, but the service needs improvement. We were the only ones there while ordering (so no rush or line), and the guy working heard us having the conversations about the flavors and which to get. I even debated at the register whether my kiddo wanted the Elsa or the Cinderella because she really wanted the edible glitter. My teenager even said that she wanted the Texas Flag, so she could have a Texas Flag on her snowcone. However, I ordered all minis and smalls not knowing that the flavor combos I was specifically ordering (and all the toppings we were excited for) only came on Mediums in the color changing cup. While talking about toppings, he asked if I wanted to add gummy worms to the Monster Mash and even asked me if I understood that the fruit would be on top of my Polynesian Pineapple- to which I also said yes and asked to go light on the syrup on mine because I added ice cream to the bottom. At no time did he mention that every flavor combo I had just ordered was only "done extra" if it was a medium in the special cup. During the small talk while ordering, I even mentioned that we had come all the way here (from Fulshear) because I heard great things. When he started handing out the snowcones, I asked about the toppings (which were missing). His reply was that they were only on the mediums in the special cup. He said he tried to explain it to me, but when I disagreed, he told me (with an attitude) that that's "how he recalled it". He didn't offer to redo even a single 1 of the 5 snowcones I had just ordered, or offer any solution. He didn't even offer to add toppings, for which I would have been OK to pay extra...but at that point he had a huge attitude, so I accepted it, and walked away...not trying to be "that" person. As I was there trying my (syrup drenched) snowcone, I decided that I didn't just drive 30 minutes for a plain, not "Insta or Yelp worthy" snowcone. We came to try something unique. So, since it was double punch day, and I had filled a card with my one order, I decided to use it punchcard to get the snowcone I wanted. When I went to the counter to order, I was told that I had to pay extra because the card was not for the combo ones. I agreed reluctantly, because I felt it should have been a moot point after voicing that I just got 5 snowcones I didn't want. When I stuck my payment card in, he turned around and started prepping the snowcone. When he came back, I asked if it he was going to run the payment and he said (with a huge attitude in front of other customers now) "it's not even worth it". The customer next to me raised her eyebrows at how he talked to me. Again, I want to say that the flavors were good. And when I understood how to order the famous ones I'd heard so much about, I got what I had hoped for. Enough so that I'm willing to give them another shot in the near future. There are plenty of reviews to show the good product, and there are other unhappy reviews about the teens they hire to staff the stand. I'm hoping this was just an off day for the guy working. I'll be back, to hopefully be able to write a 5 star review.

    Why 5 stars? Because this is everything you want in a shaved ice place…read more --- --- --- Last summer, I wanted to visit Lottie's, but I waited too long and saw that they shut down right before school starts back up. So this summer, I made sure to visit right before the buzzer: we went on the very last day they were open. But they were definitely not just winding down for their last few hours - it was like a party here. When I first walked up, I was told by a very enthusiastic, and very out of breath girl, that I could play against one of the staff members in a game of pickleball or connect 4 and win a free snow cone. I had my son with me and couldn't really lose sight of him while involved in a competitive pickleball game, so they suggested connect 4. They even gave my son something to color while I played. Well, I blew the game and lost. But they still gave me a free shaved ice anyway. And by the way, it was awesome. I will definitely not be waiting until the last day of summer to visit next year. They have approximately 487 flavor options and they use blue bell ice cream if you so choose to add that. We sat at a picnic table and went to town on our deliciousness as we watched people playing games, listening to music and living their best summer lives. I now understand why the reviews are so great here and am looking forward to May already!

    The shaved ice is always 100%. Service is always friendly…read moreand they even have pup cups. My dogs loved them. This is the place to go on a hot summer day!
