    We came in with our kids and it was very tasty. Everyone was happy with their options and a mini is just enough. However, I asked if they had no -dairy options as they were unclear on the menu. I was told chocolate and all fruit. I ordered a strawberry and it had ice cream in the middle. We asked for extra napkins and had like 4 to share with 7 people. Overall it was a cute shop and they had great options. Look online if you have a dairy sensitivity ahead!

    From their website. Store front.

    We swung by after school for a sweet treat for the kids (and me too). We've never been although we heard about their North Augusta location. It's in the strip of shops and is located a few doors down from Publix. There is plenty of parking and we had a minimal wait around 4pm. I was expecting coarse shaved iced like you'd get at other shaved iced places, but this was a big surprise. I'd best describe the ice as light, fluffy and airy. No hard crunch to it, and incredibly pleasant. My kids never eat shaved ice completely so we got one for them to share and that was a mistake. Halfway home, our oldest asks for more and when I turned around both had finished their halves and their gummy worms. They were both huge fans and gave two thumbs up. I enjoyed my ice as well, but my husband didn't love his. I liked the subtle coffee portion on my polar affrogato, and the brownies too. I think the combination really worked well together. My husband said his was a little strange. He wasn't a fan of the flavor. He didn't get a pumpkin flavor, he said it was more focused on nutmeg. 3/4 of us thoroughly enjoyed ours, and 2 of them were my kids, so I have to give this a 5 star. Also, peep that military discount, holy cow. We will definitely stop by next time we're out in this area!

    There are some options if you can't have dairy like me. I ordered mango ice but got banana instead. It had to be remade. The ice is fluffy and a unique texture. If you want something quirky, different and unique then go here. The man at the counter stared at my friends with a disgusted look. I normally don't care about that sort of thing but he was staring the entire time my friends and I ate without looking away. It was uncomfortable and unusual.

    Mini chocolate lovers, Twix and Peanut Butter cups

    First time here and loved it! Ordered mini peanut butter cup, Twix, and chocolate lovers. We ordered mini sizes and they were more than enough. Cute decor and clean establishment. The only issue was there was one person working. It took about 10 to get our order and just about ever table was occupied and more people were coming in. It just might have been a busy time. Overall, I definitely recommend a visit.

    Butterfinger Delight (regular)

    Staff was very friendly and patient, since it was our first time there. We ordered the Butterfinger Delight, size regular, to split between me and my husband (and my 17 month old). It was definitely enough to share. Shaved ice itself wasn't that sweet, which was a nice balance since the caramel and butterfinger were sweet. There was a perfect amount of topping for each bite. There was plenty of seating, but it was a hot day (around 3:00pm) on a Saturday, so there were several other people in there as well. Most people didn't stay very long.

    A friend suggested that we try Vampire Penguin out. I was a bit skeptical at first, but was pleasantly surprised! The place itself is clean and the decor goes with the name. I ordered a mini almond joy, but let me tell you they have a variety of options which made it hard to decide. There was five of us, and we all enjoyed our shaved ice cream. It is very light and airy, and doesn't seem like you are ingesting a lot of calories. LOL!!

    This is definitely something worth trying if your in the area. I wish I knew about this place sooner. We went in to it not really knowing if we would like it. But we were blown away with how good it really was. It is literately shaved iced but flavored and decorated to be a wonderful fancy dessert that melts in your mouth. And it's amazing. The place is also small and cute. They have a large chair and a penguin on the wall to go with the vampire penguin theme. They also had vampire penguin coloring pages available when we stopped by that my kids enjoyed.

    Not very impressed. The shaved ice is dry and the interior tastes bland. The toppings are good, but the actual ice is not great. Would not recommend over traditional ice cream.

    We usually hit the North Augusta location but we tried this one & was NOT disappointed...absolutely the sweetest owners....Amy & her husband Marcus...I had about 5 to go to drive back home to Burke county & had a lunch bag with ice packs....she was so kind to make them freeze them til we were ready to go & then still gave me more ice to place ontop...made it home with intact delicious desserts....my new favorite is the Halo Halo...the taro ice....I also love the Mexican candy. We absolutely enjoyed our sweets. Thank you again.

I met Joel & his wife Molly, while I went for a pickup an order of cooked crawfish, fresh from Louisiana. Let me tell you. Joel can season those crawfish perfectly. He had & can get all kinds of fish. I was showen some delicious fresh grouper filets as well as some huge oysters tasted delicious...inside are some delicious delightful snowcones....his wife Molly makes fresh fruit cones and I can absolutely say without a doubt I will be back once a week to try them all. There is fresh boudin & andouille from Louisiana available for purchase. I highly suggest following these pages to keep up with the great things coming. #Boudreaux #fresh #localbusiness #southside #CSRA

    Huuuuge Sigh, I started this review seven days ago and again…read moresixteen hours ago. My apologies for the delay. I will start by stating that I am from NOLA, where Cajun is KING!!! I've spent countless hours researching both "online" and local fresh seafood. Yearning for a taste of home and having literally spent thousands of dollars on what I l will refer to "research and development". I placed a order for fresh crawfish (sold in 2 ish or 5 ish Lb ziplock bags) boiled with all the amazing fixings which consisted of soft buttery melt in your mouth potatoes, Cajun smoked with flavor and not just heat sausage, an array of onions and vegetables that were infused with flavors that continued to build and did not disappoint in taste. Boudreaux' displays such a laid-back and welcoming atmosphere that it's a hard sell to believe that this is actually a place of business. What with the inviting atmosphere and the gang sitting around the table in the back of a business eating crab legs, my mistake crawfish. Along with the precious babies running around, add a Beautiful friendly dog the size of Marmaduke and what do you have?? Louisiana in the great state of Georgia!!!!! Will I be back??? Sadly I tried and they were out of EVERYTHING!!!! I Managed to snag a $25 bag of large buttery shrimp and was so grateful for the opportunity to purchase. Pricey you say, not as much as a airfare, Lodging and meals to Louisiana. They are making one last crawfish run this week and you'll find me anxiously awaiting their safe return. Good luck and bring her home guys!!!! I would be remiss if I failed to mention the snowballs. I ordered one as an after thought and really just to be kind and out of respect for the beautiful hard-working woman behind the counter. These are like snowballs you have never tasted before in life!!!! Firstly, how do you make a snowball taste like ice cream without ice cream??? The hundreds of flavors that they offer are amazing and show stoppers in themselves. I mean who would've thought seafood and snow balls, that just doesn't make any sense unless, you get a snowball from Boudreaux's not to be missed Both in efforts to cool off from the 90 to 100+ degree temperatures, but for all the good things that you can make it, get the Crawdaddy size, you won't regret it and your welcome Pros-- all of the above Only con -- I'm still investigating, clearly I missed something, I don't believe in perfection. If I have to commit it would call for a minimum of 35 additional visit's but, as a Yelp elite badge holder, it's all about the sacrifice. Your welcome

Also, we just really like snoballs. Back when a Snoball shop was just a dream, we didn't know much, but we knew we wanted soft ice and great true-to-life flavors! After much research (eating lots of snoballs), we found what we thought was the very best ice shaver and flavors. The soft, fluffy ice originating in New Orleans blew us away and so, "New Orleans" style snoballs it is! But we didn't stop there. Some really misguided folks think that snoballs are for kids. OK. Let's offer something for the more sophisticated palate. That is how we ended up with our other favorite offering--Italian Ice. Georgia summers are HOT! And Italian ice offers a great cold treat that isn't heavy--just refreshing. When the oppressive humidity of Georgia is weighing you down, our light, ice cold Italian Ice hits the spot! All of our flavors are made in house so that we are able to control the quality and consistancy. Almost all of the flavors are made with fresh fruit and have NO artificial flavors or coloring, giving our customers the most natural Italian ice in the area! We didn't stop there though! You can never have enough cold treats so what else can we offer? How about Dippin' Dots? Our shop is one of the few in the CSRA that sells hand-dipped Dippin' Dots. Right here in little 'ole Appling.
