| - Had the best family day ever and wanted to wrap it up with trying something new. Walked in to Sumo Snow and to our surprise it was the cutest littlest trendiest place ever. It's like if Starbucks ran an after school program, but not. The place is as big as your belly button, but wile you wait for your order they have several retro games for you to play. The boys played the rock-em sock-em game, which they pulled off the shelf next to Stretch Armstrong.
I ordered the Tropical Island and SBL (Sexy Bearded Lover) ordered the Carmel Cafe Cold Brew.
SBL isn't a coffee drinker, but he thought mmmm this sounds amazing, and it was. It was served in these giant cups with the sticker lids you pop the straw through and it was definitely a manly serving. He said it was smooth and not too rich and that he would order it again; basically two thumbs up for the Carmel Cafe.
The Tropical Island tastes like the best milk ever was frozen and then thinly shaved down to form this beautiful iced cream mound of perfection. It's lightly sweet and the most refreshing treat you could come across. Let's put it this way, once it touches the lips it's like you are whooshed away in to this hammock swaying sunset paradise situation.
To make matters even more ridiculous on the "it's so good it's stupid meter" they top it off with this coconut like snow, (sigh) fresh pineapple and these silly little flavored gelatinous squares made only of love.
The moment it all melts together in your mouth, is the moment Sumo Snow drops the mic, oh yea.
I had never had a frozen treat that transported me to another time and place. It truly was its name, too bad there's not a frozen treat named "Hey I won the lottery and all my bills are paid" I would like to taste that goodness too if it were ever invented...Insert winky face here.
If that's the feeling you're looking for when you get a hankering for something sweet, this is definitely your destination.
Well played Sumo Snow, well played.
