Blue Monkey Shaved Ice

Tosha and I were very impressed with this food truck. The servers were super friendly and they helped make our beautiful day even more memorable and wonderful. I got the blue raspberry with the tart cherry and condensed milk cream for topping. The ice was like snow and the flavors were just right as far as taste goes, not too overbearing or underwhelming. We will be back and ready to experience more excitement in this hip and happening area of Nashville! Note: the food truck is only open for service Fridays - Sundays.

This pretty blue food truck is not stationed to a single place. I tried the rainbow flavoured snowball, and the flavours were delicious. Perfect rescue in the summer time. It was parked close to the white bison coffee place on Saturday. The snow is soft and smooth, which makes the texture perfect.

I got the orange dreamscicle, it was the bomb!!! I have been craving shaved ice, I added cream as well and it was so delicious and sweet. The ladies that helped me were great. I had to park beside the white bison coffee bc parking is tight on 12th, and busy. I will definitely be back! I got extra cream so it may appear like ice cream but its definitely shaved ice. Got a size large, came out to ne like $9.50.

I’ve been meaning to check out Blue Monkey and I’m so glad we made the time today! They were so sweet and gave Sadie a big shaved ice for herself. I had the blue raspberry and wedding cake and it was DELICIOUS! (Sadly I forgot to take photos of my own)

These are seriously the best snow cones I have ever had. We booked Blue Monkey for my nephews birthday party. The guests could not stop raving about how delicious they were. They were also a pleasure to work with!

It’s only open for part of the year, which is a shame because I’d seek this truck out in a blizzard. The main thing that sets Blue Monkey apart from their competition is the quality of their flavorings.

Good flavors. Blessing in a hot weather. Must try if you're around. Get the cream on top, it's worth it.

I discovered Blue Monkey snow balls at my grandson's boy scout event in nolensville last evening! Oh my, so delicious and refreshing! I loved the choice of so many unique flavors. My grandchildren loved them! Looking forward to be able to enjoy such delicious treats this summer!! The sweet girl that made our cones was so composed and took the orders efficiently with a nice smile!! Thank you.

On a hot Tennessee day, this shaved iced was exactly the thing to cool us off for a few minutes. The amount of syrup coating the snowball shaped shaved ice was sweet & just the right amount. From the vast menu of choices, our group tried: Sour gummy worm, tart cherry/lemonade, watermelon & rainbow. Will definitely track down this food truck again over the next several months as a special treat!

So delicious! We got coconut, banana, pineapple. After we got back Hawaii we craved some shave ice like we had on the island. We found a perfect treat to satisfy our craving with Blue Monkey! They didn't have ice cream when we went so hopefully they have it next time but they did have the cream for kn top. We loved it! So yummy!

Food (5/5 stars): It was almost 100 degrees and very humid when we got here, so we had to start off our food tour with shaved ice! It brought me back to Hawaii (not Hawaii quality, but close enough) Experience (4/5 stars): * Price: not too bad * Wait Time: we waited quite a bit, but it was worth * Service: friendly and accommodating * Ambiance: it's a truck in 12 South! No seating or tables unfortunately

This is the best shaved ice I have ever tasted. It is so refreshing and soft. And they have so many flavors it's amazing.

Great food truck that brings a fun Hawaiian treat to Nashville. Plenty of flavors. They will come to special events.

It was amazing! If you see them out and about cop a squat under the big Tiffany blue umbrella and enjoy a cold treat in this summer heat.

Good shaved ice, but it was pretty overpriced for a small size ($5.50+tax). They offer real fruit flavors, alongside with the traditional disgusting tasting flavors, which was nice to see.

Loved this little truck! It was located across from Draper James in the 12South neighborhood of Nashville. They have lots of flavors and the ice is real shaved ice. Grab a shaved ice and go take pics at the striped wall across the street or just lounge in one of the benches and enjoy it on a hot summer day!

Very good flavors, nice truck, friendly, good service, well decorated place, park in the street, tasty.

On a hot day, this shaved ice really hit the spot! I got the piña colada flavor and was pleasantly surprised. I've been to shaved ice spots where all of the flavoring sits at the bottom, but here all of the ice was pretty evenly coated. For the price, you don't get a ton of shaved ice, but it was still worth it in my opinion. If you see this little truck on the side of the road, you should definitely give it a try!

Had a wide variety of classic flavors like blue raspberry, watermelon, strawberry, piña colada and such but also had 'premium' topping flavors such as Key lime pie! Had blue raspberry and strawberry. The strawberry was so natural and delicious! The blue raspberry was good too. The only criticism I have is that it is a bit expensive for shaved ice. I paid $5 for a medium which is a bit steep. It also took a while to get the ice because there were only two people working. Nonetheless very yummy and would visit again!

Absolute best place to get shaved ice in Nashville. Since moving from Texas I have been looking for a great shaved ice place to take the kids and Blue Monkey definitely fits the bill!

I was expecting this to be a glorified snow cone. Noooo. It was awesome! Several of the flavors are fresh, homemade syrups and the shaved ice is very fine, like snow. I've been craving another. :)

I got the lemonade flavor. So good and much needed to cool down in the heat. We were near Draper James, taking pictures with all the murals when we spotted this truck and thought it's be the prefect treat!

Can't wait till next time we come. And get another one This place is great .... wish I had more But can't eat it all time

This was just what we needed after a long, hot trip to the zoo! I got 3 flavors - tart cherry, watermelon and Georgia peach. Every flavor was so delicious My only regret is that I wish I would have gotten a large instead of small!!

Took awhile for the shaved ice to be prepared and I was expecting a different taste. It taste to powdery. Something was sprinkled on top which gave it that taste. Not my idea of what shaved ice tastes like.

I'm not usually a fan of shaved ice. Mainly because of the artificial flavorings & sugary syrup it's doused in, BUT this place was awesome. My daughter & I went & enjoyed the strawberry lemonade & the tropical delight. The strawberry lemonade was legit STRAWBERRY LEMONADE! I was pleasantly surprised by that lol.

Best shave ice I've ever had, hands down. Awesome local food truck with a spectacular variety of handmade syrups!! The staff is always friendly and helpful. Lovely experience.

We stopped by this truck on our way through town. They had an excellent choice of flavors and an overall fun experience.

The best shaved ice place ever. Always quick and its consistently good. My favorite spot to go to in Nashville. It's a MUST. I recommend the coconut with cream on top.

Three words: Key Lime Pie. I was shocked when I tasted it and it was creamy. It was like I was eating a frozen pie. I would definitely recommend it!

Our search for a fabulous shaved ice led us to the blue monkey. We were excited when we found out they would be in our neighborhood this weekend. It was delicious- everything their website promises!! The ice is fine and soft and flavors fabulous- we especially loved the wedding cake and blackberry!

Awesome shaved ice truck run by awesome people. Way better to support a small local business like these folks are running rather than a national chain of trucks. Keep doing what you are doing.

Nothing hits the spot more on a hot Tennessee day like shaved ice. Blue Monkey has a ton of flavors including my personal favorite, Tigers Blood (strawberry and coconut)! You can even mix and match flavors, which is pretty awesome. Definitely worth a visit if you are looking for a treat to beat the heat. See what I just did there? ;)

Very disappointed in service!! The sno cones themselves were delicious but the service was terrible! Three teenage girls were working and were snarky and rude. They proceeded to make faces at my daughter then laugh and whisper. It's a shame the workers ruined the experience! Won't be coming back unfortunately. Even as we walked away two of the girls were still laughing and making faces.

It's a water ice truck that's located across Green Hills mall during the summer months and early fall.

We went to a private party that the hosts arranged for Blue Monkey to offer their delicious shaved ice. It was a HUGE hit on this past blistering hot weekend. I am no shaved ice expert, but with MANY unique flavors that were offered and the soft texture of the ice this has Kona Ice beat!

Understatement of your life, Alex P. This place is AMAZING, definitely the BEST shaved ice you will ever experience. Ice so smooth you'd swear you were eating frozen clouds from heaven. Seriously folks...the Watermelon Basil will change your life. I also love Pineapple Cilantro! These savory flavors can make you feel like you've just had a well balanced meal; get the ice cream in the middle and you DID just have a meal. I can't say enough great things, their staff were so genuine and helpful. **I've never even had a Help account; but felt like it was my duty to enlighten the world after eating there! (Could've been the sour spray talkin'.) I made an account and here we are...sharing the love. So glad I found them while on vacation in Nashville; you should consider yourself blessed if you live within 50 miles of these guys! KEEP SHAVING THE LOVE GUYS!!

Any day is a good day for blue monkey!! They have the softest shaved ice. Thanks for being so tasty in my mouth!!
