Like a number of the reviewers here, I've driven by this place a gazillion times without noticing it, since it occupies a relatively tiny space in a generic commercial strip. it wasn't until my friend and fellow yelper John M. asked me to join him for a refreshing treat here that I knew this place was here, and it's just in my neighborhood! The sno balls are made of shaved ice, giving them a much smoother "feel' than snow cones with their coarse ice granules. There is an impressive array of flavored syrups, making for an almost infinite number of possible flavor combinations. The sno balls are always nicely flavored, very refreshing, and so inexpensive - a real win every time!
