YES! I'll be back....
The first time I saw a line at this place was on tax day and I just thought they were giving out free stuff...then the next day, same thing and the day after - again. And then the following week, the same thing.
So now I was definitely curious and needed to find out what the hype was over this Purple Shack at the Shell gas station.
Needless to say, I checked Yelp to see if there was any info and behold my curiosity just grew tenfold. I needed one of these!
I had errands to run this afternoon, and since the post office is down the street I made up my mind that I was going to make the jump...
And yes, there was a line, but not as long as other times, so I went and stood and waited all by my lonesome. I have to admit, there were about three times that I contemplated leaving and just coming back at night when the sun wasn't pounding down (it was definitely hot) but I was so close...I decided to wait it out.
Ordered me a small cheesecake ($2) with ice cream ($.75)
I watched as all the colorful orders came out before mine and then my turn. Such a sad looking snowcone - there was absolutely no color and looked like a cup full of ice..I wondered if I made the wrong choice in flavor.
I was so wrong! The flavor oozed through with each lick and spoonful. The ice is so soft and the small was good enough for both me and my hubby who I shared with once I got home. Our two other roommates just had to listen to us enjoy this wonderful treat...LOL.
I'll definitely be back tonight and this time with three more curious souls. :)
I'm so glad they are just down the street from us and not across town. Never thought I'd ever be in love with a snowcone!
