on University Ave by Lon's Cooking Shack
richie came with us this time and we all got smalls. i got peach,jeremy got watermelon, and richie got bubblegum.
(we went after we played catch in the park)
the deets
prices: it was $2 for a small (their mediums-$3 matched Hokulia's
smalls-$2.75), they didn't have cream, but it's only .50 for ice cream on bottom,
no extra for tax, only cash and check
flavors: the normal selection- nothing exciting, no combo suggestions
loyalty bonus: no special card- we forgot to ask, but they didn't offer us one
seating: a wooden bench and about 6 other plastic chairs
misc: give you a spooned straw, good soft ice, faster service-
less crowded, have a flat screen tv with footage of skateboarders
the verdict
the quality of shave ice is good, but not as good as Hokulia. i liked the small
size better here or at the SURF N SLURP- Hokulia's small is kinda big for one person. the
flavors are still the best at the SURF N SLURP. so we are at quite the crossroads.
til our next shave ice outing...
i thought it would take like a month or two to try all of these places...
but we are obviously loving this. 3-4 more to go.

Oooo, this one's within walking distance! Doesn't sound as cool, but it doesn't get bonus points for location.
I love this "feature" you're doing. So fun for summer! Don't forget there's one by the gas station by our house....if you're feeling like taking a drive one night...
The best shaved ice I've ever had is it Zeppes!It's the best.
