Koko Kakigori - Review - Mills 50 - Orlando - The Infatuation

"If you’re in the mood to eat a massive kakigori under an equally massive tree, go to Koko. The kakigori and ceramics specialists operate in a house the size of a very nice closet. You may have to wait in line outside since the space is so tiny. When it’s your turn to walk in, you not only get to choose your kakigori, but the bowl it’s served in, which the staff made themselves. Presentation is half the fun here. The towering kakigori is a vibrant, symmetrical work of art and digging into it feels like taking a spoon to a glacier. The flavors involve matcha, strawberry, black sesame, seasonal fruit, and more combinations that are never too sweet. Even on a blisteringly hot summer day, the kakigori doesn’t melt too fast thanks to shade from the bodhi tree." - Ryan Pfeffer

The Best Shaved Ice In Miami - Miami - The Infatuation

"This is the best place in Miami to get kakigori. The little Design District food truck has fluffy, delicate shaved ice and a bunch of different flavors. Each order of kakigori also gets its own custom whipped cream. So, if you order the passion fruit mountain (which you should), you will also get passion fruit whipped cream—not only on top but also buried inside. Besides that, we also love the tiger tempura, which tastes like cereal milk in frozen form and is topped with Frosted Flakes." - ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino, carlos c olaechea

I was disappointed that their midnight Café didn’t come with shaved ice as that’s the reason why I came here. We decided to get one of the recommended drinks, which was the sago lush. I’ve had a decent amount of mango, sago, coconut smoothies, and other parts of the United States however this one was my least favorite. The flavors didn’t go too well, there was a crunch whatever that came from, which didn’t pair well with the textures of the other things and a drink. Mango would be much better than whatever fruit they used here. It was a bit too tart for my tasting.

Definitely worth coming here. I will say though, it is a bit on the pricier side! This dessert was amazing though and I love how small and cozy it is inside. They have outdoor seating so the vibes felt nice :)

The shaved ice cream here is amazing—so soft and delicate it melts on its own. I had the matcha with strawberries and it was mind-blowingly good. Unique, refreshing, and absolutely worth coming back for. But the service really took away from the experience. When we got there, we told the guy at the counter how excited we were—it was our first time, and we were genuinely hyped to try it. But he didn’t say a word back, didn’t acknowledge it at all, and just made us feel kind of stupid for being so enthusiastic. No smile, no suggestion—nothing. Then it started raining, and as soon as I stood up, a staff member immediately took the chair and put it away, without even waiting for us to leave or saying anything. It felt like they were rushing us out. Later, we noticed there was a covered seating area nearby, but no one told us we could finish our dessert there. A simple, “Hey, feel free to sit under the shelter,” would’ve made a big difference. The ice cream itself is easily 5 stars, but the service was cold and dismissive. I’d come back for the dessert, but I really hope they work on how they treat their customers.

What a cute spot! I love it! (bring a friend) What I got the Kuro-Mitsu from their classic series. I love that I was able to get this dairy free as well. The serving was quite big, perfect for 2 people. Not too sweet, just right. There is mochis and warabi mixed in layers, made with love and care Environment The store is super tiny, like so tiny, you can only have 1 party inside at one time. The seating is only outside and under the tree in the open space, and the seating can be limited... I can't imagine summer days! But very very cute place Niceness of the staff Super patient and nice staff. There was only 2 people working, and they bring the food out to you as well! I can tastes the quality of time spent on crafting this, they love what they do Dollar It was 16$ for it and the specials is 18. It is a good portion for 2-3 people. Yes I would recommend this to people and would go here again.

Fun and unique experience! We drove over an hour, and it was totally worth it. Fun flavors to share or keep all to yourself! Outdoor seating only. But quaint shaded area with bistro tables and picnic benches. Melon - 10/10 Kuro Mistu (Black Sugar) - 10/10 Matchta - 9/10 Presentation - 20/10 - it's beautiful! Seating - quaint vibe under the trees Parking - 5/10. Find street parking and walk a block. Totally worth it. A little pricy at $16-18 per dessert. Again...worth it. **Don't forget to tap that ❤️ at the bottom here 😀!

4.8/5 stars After trying a couple disappointing places around the area this place really improved my mood. Owner was very kind and this place and the sitting area here is cute (although watch out because since it’s outside it can get hot). I got the strawberry matcha shaved ice it was delicious though the matcha cream on top is not like the typical over sweetened fake matcha so it has a slight bitter note to it. Inside the shaved ice there was some pieces of red bean and mochi (good chew to it but it does indeed taste like nothing). While it was messy to it (probably user error) I loved it. - Went back a second time and I got the Mango yuzu. Topped with a cream and passion fruit I really enjoyed it but it’s definitely made for people with a taste for tart things. I would say though I personally prefer the matcha strawberry.

I LOVE KOKO KAKIGORI — the authentic shaved ice and variety of special and classic flavors are fantastic! My favorite is the Ichigo Matcha, but the Melon is also very refreshing. They also sell their own printed t-shirts from FRUITS — their art initiative which I love so much as it bridges creativity and community together. Please check their website before you visit to stay up to date with their flavor offerings and schedule. It is only outdoor seating and one group at a time is allowed inside to place your order. There is plenty of parking and on street parking too — closeby Kaya.

If your looking for a unique experience to try new flavor combinations - look no further than Koko Kakigori. It’s shaved ice like you have never had before. But make sure you come by early on a Saturday or Sunday because they are open until 8PM or until they sell out - and more often than not it’s the later. Waiting inline is no easy task, especially in the heat of Florida, but it is definitely worth the wait. One of my favorite parts about the experience is that you get to pick the pottery cup your ice is created in, making it that much more customized. Be daring and try the flavor that makes you nervous, I promise you it won’t disappoint- my daughter still talks about the Roasted Corn Kakigori.

This was such a hidden gem! It's very small so only one group is allowed to go in and order at a time. The menu outdoors isn't very descriptive, so it was helpful to see the breakdown in the menu indoors. I got the kiru mitsu. It had two types of mochi, a big round one (dango) and a thin spreaded one, kinda like chewed gum consistency (warabi). It wasn't overly sweet, the ice was fluffy enough it melted in my mouth right away. It wasn't rough. The red beans were good. The sugar powder was very lightly sweetened. I requested to remove the milk sauce cause I wanted it to be dairy free. The sweetness was perfect. They take tap pay. There's a small restroom indoors. No diaper changing station. The seating area around the tree was in a shaded area. It wasn't too hot but I came in April. I think it would be very hot in the summer to be seating outdoors. Very limited parking available that's shared between this place and Kava next door. It has handicap parking.

We stumbled upon Koko Kakigori after dining at Kaya, and I was so glad we did! As a huge fan of Taiwanese shaved ice, I was immediately impressed by the delicate, finely shaved ice and balanced flavors of the ube coconut kakigori I tried. It seems like their presentation has been evolving based on their past photos, or maybe it just depends on who's making them, but I wish them continued inspiration in honing their craft and making even grander creations! Just a heads up, they only allow one party to order inside at a time, creating an intimate experience. There's plenty of outdoor seating available to enjoy your kakigori, then just dispose of everything in the provided bus bucket and waste basket outside the store. I'd love to see more shaved ice spots like Koko pop up across the US, and I wish them all the success in helping to create a larger trend!

I've always seen people rave about this place and honestly I can see why! The shaved ice is really different in comparison to the others around the area; its actually very light, and the ice is very fine. I got the mango yuzu, which is their seasonal and it was soooooo refreshing!! The passionfruit topping complements the yuzu and mango notes, and theres just the right amount of topping for the amount of shaved ice there is. They also have a straw to help get all of the goodness that melted, which is very thoughtful! Hopefully they add more fruit flavored ice to their menu!!

It's a cute little Japanese shaved ice cafe. Outside seating only. But there is a big tree for some shade. The shaved ice menu is small but unique with seasonal flavors. The two of us shared a mango yuzu shaved ice. We even got to pick the pottery dish for serving. I love that idea. We enjoyed our cooling dessert on a hot summer afternoon. I want to go back for more.

Small business with great food and vibes. I was not a fan of this kind of sweet from other places I have tried and this spot completely changed my mind. Amazing!

Amazing shaved ice. Supper refreshing on a hot Florida summer. We got the mango yuzu shaved ice which has fresh passionfruit. Also got the matcha earl grey which was well balanced. Would recommend, plus has a cute seating area outside.

Brought my out of town family here to try something they aren't able to get back at home. I ordered the earl grey match and shared the mango yuzu. I always enjoy the flavor combos Koko comes up with and my family did as well.

I thought it was nice and had a good uniqueness to it. We had a melon one and a coconut one. The melon was better than the coconut it's very difficult to eat in the heat as it's just melts too fast. It's great to try new things but hard to have me to keep coming back. I would say this was one of those I don't need to come back right away but it was good..

The Ichigo Matcha shaved ice was so delicious especially for strawberry matcha lovers! The matcha cream on top has a rich and strong flavor, with the strawberry syrup and fresh strawberries balancing everything out. The mochi bits adds chew that makes the texture really pleasant. The restaurant itself is really small so only one group can go in to order at a time. Luckily there's a lot of seating options outside.

The pictures online looked unreal so we had to come and try this place out. It's so tiny but so cute! Just a note, you don't eat inside they bring it out to you outside on the table. There's only a few flavors to choose from but they all looked so good. You also get to choose the bowl they put your shaved ice in, very cute! The presentation is beautiful. The flavor and texture was amazing. I am so sad that Pistachio Lemon is a limited time flavor. This was the best shaved ice I have ever had out of all the places around here. This was next level. You need to come here and try this place!!

Unique dessert but overpriced. Not the sweet fix if that's what you're looking for. $18 for one. Would have liked some more fruits or something sweet in it.

I'm officially a kakigori fan! This is one of the most refreshing, unique desserts I've ever had and it's become my favorite summer treat. Koko is located behind Kaya in a cute tiny little shop with an ordering counter. There is no indoor seating, but there's plenty of shaded outdoor seating under the stunning Bodhi tree. The flavors of their Japanese shaved ice rotate regularly, but so far I've tried the Mango Mint and the Pistachio Lemon. Both were phenomenal! As you're eating these fun desserts it's like digging for treasure and finding more yummy stuff packed in the middle. I also love that you get to choose the beautiful bowl it is served in from their wall display of handmade ceramics. The ice is very light and fluffy. My husband & I usually share one, but I'm not going to lie -- I could probably crush one all by myself lol. Dinner at Kaya and then Koko for dessert is my favorite date night combo! Be sure to check their IG for their hours as they are typically only open Fri-Sun.

An absolute gem. Nothing is better than Koko Kakigori on a hot day in central Florida. Seating and menu is limited but it's worth it. You can taste the quality in all the ingredients they use and it's super cute that they let you pick out your own bowl to eat from. It's not too sweet either, so perfect for Asian parents with the non-sweet, sweet tooth. Enjoy the sunshine at their outdoor seating area while munching on this delightful icy treat.

I had visited Koko Kakigori earlier this year with a few girlfriends and we had the best time. It was a bit cold on the day we went but we still craved a shaved ice dessert after our brunch. Our server was super sweet and offered us tea while we waited for our kakigori to arrive. We shared the Toasted Soy and Ube Coconut kakigori. I loved that the desserts aren't too sweet and have just the right amount of flavoring throughout the shaved ice. I'm definitely a fan and plan to come back whenever I'm back in the area!

Need a (not too sweet) sweet treat? This is a cute stop. Their ice cream is large enough to share between 2-3 people. It's a small yet cute place which merch from local artist(s). You'll find street parking nearby and a couple of outdoor seating options.

Koko Kakigori offers shaved ice, it's fluffy and is not too sweet. The red bean filling inside was delicious. Ordering is a fun experience; you can choose your flavor and pick the bowl that would hold your shaved ice. The outdoor seating is charming, perfect for enjoying your treat in a relaxed atmosphere. While the small interior, where you order, gives off Japan vibes. Overall, Koko Kagigori is a great spot for anyone craving a refreshing dessert that isn't overly sweet.

It was a typical sweltering summer day in central Florida, and my friend and I were in the mood for shaved ice. I'd been eyeing this place for a while and am so glad we made the decision to come here. Koko kakigori is a cute little shop with plenty of outdoor seating in the shade surrounded by a green oasis. There were 5 flavors to choose from, one of them being vegan (ube coconut, $15) which my friend and I shared. I love that you can customize your experience by picking the bowl for your kakigori treat. The shaved ice tasted phenomenal; eating it was like uncovering treasure in every bite. Each scoop into the soft ice would reveal something different--coconut creaminess, a tart mango, the unique texture of agar jelly, or soft red bean. Truly a magical sensory experience. It only took about 5-10 minutes for the dessert to be ready, and it was brought out to us which was nice. I just wish they were open more than 2-3 days of the week (usually weekends), so that more people can enjoy this hidden gem! Parking was also extremely limited even in the decent-sized parking lot across the street--we were lucky that someone was leaving just as we arrived.

I absolutely loveeeee this place!! Their kakigoris are the best shaved ice desserts I've ever tried. You can really appreciate seasonal flavors since they experiment with different ingredients all the time! I like that they also have fillings and the most gorgeous toppings. They're not too sweet and just so refreshing. The service is friendly and nice and you get to eat at picnic tables under a tree, which is so cute! The only thing I don't like about this place is the hours. They have such an odd schedule and close so early for a dessert restaurant, in my opinion. I would go so much more often after dinner on Mills/E. Colonial if they were open later! Anyways, I will keep coming back to try their new creations despite my frustrations with their opening/closing hours because they're just that delicious!

The cutest little dessert spot! It's in the smallest, cutest little shop and service is so friendly. They let us pick our own ceramic bowls for the shaved ice to come in, which makes the experience that much more special. We ordered the ube coconut and strawberry matcha shaved ice - and they were big! Both shaved ices had the most milkiest, melt-in-your-mouth snow as the base. The ube and matcha flavors were prominent and I love that there were hidden elements and textures within each of the ices. My absolute favorite was finding secret coconut jellies! I love that the flavors rotate and every one we tried was so so good. Make sure to support this local business selling the most delicious and refreshing shaved ices. It is small and there were only 2-3 tables outside when we went, so be prepared to wait if there is a line. Will definitely be back to try their other yummy flavors!

We visited koko kakigori during Kaya's birthday festival and Oh My this place is awesome. While there are definitely other shaved ice places around, nobody else really does it like them. Each flavor isn't just a syrup drizzled on the ice, it's a whole dish. We got the starfruit yuzu and it was such an experience. The jasmine balls with the starfruit jelly and the yuzu all together made for an awesome bite. The ice is super fresh and the perfect texture. It's not cheap, but it can definitely feed 2-3 people. I'll definitely be going out of my way to get here again.

A great place for a sweet cold treat! The outdoor seating is very cute under a big tree creating a calm atmosphere while you eat your Kakigori. You get to choose what bowl you want your kakigori in and they bring it out to you whoever you're sitting. We got the ichigo matcha and that was $15 plus tax and tips so we spent roughly $20. Definitely will be back in this hot summer

I have been looking for shaved ice in Orlando, and haven't come across any that were legitimately good until I checked out Koko Kakigori! While they are only open 3 days a week, it is worth visiting the spot. It's hidden in a small parking shared with Kaya. When you walk in, you place your order and have a selection of ceramic bowls to pick from to use as your base. I ordered the Ichigo Matcha, which was $17. While I selected the special, the non-special options are $15. The good: Love the flavors in this shaved ice. I was impressed with the softness and consistency of the shaved ice, and it was the best one I've ever had in Orlando. The toppings were delicious and tasted fresh! The bad: Nothing, except it's outdoor seating only so be prepared to eat your dessert quickly before it melts. Overall, I will happily splurge and spend $15+ on shaved ice because this is by far the best spot for any of your shaved ice cravings!

Upon my initial review, I didn't realize how much I would love Koko Kakigori in the long run. Yes, I still feel the price puts them in a "once in a while" treat category in my opinion, but that's literally what this is. A special treat, only open 3 days a week, a cozy and quaint atmosphere. It's a unique experience in the Orlando area that I look forward to whenever I go and have to say I feel it is worth every penny.

Koko is kind of tucked away in the back behind a restaurant. They only have outdoor seating but it was so cute under a tree with string lights. The shaved ice was amazing. The matcha flavor was delicious. I was pleasantly surprised the ice itself was sweet. There was also red bean tucked away in the center. I wished I lived in town so I could have it on a regular basis

Best shaved ice in town! We had the matcha milk which consist of red beans and mochi. The matcha topping was just perfect, it was creamy but not too sweet. The ice was light and fluffy which pairs it well. It came out to be about $16 and it's enough for 2 people. It's quite hidden and the parking lot is small. There's tables outside, which makes the atmosphere even nicer. The staff here is very sweet and definitely made our first time memorable, thank you and we will be back to try more flavors!

In a discreet location in Mills50 there is Koko. You can easily miss it but it is not a place to pass by. The shaved ice is a must get. The flavor and texture of the ice is so similar to ones you get in Japan. A small detail that makes the experience is the unique ceramics which they serve the shaved ice. Each curated and made for the shop. Outdoor seating is nice especially on a cool day. Just make sure you're not sitting in a sunny spot!

Found this place from a YouTube video that Tim tracker went to one time with Ricky from tasty chomps so wanted to try this place out for myself. I got the ube flavored and it was so good! Parking can be difficult to find since it's such a small location and it kinda looks like a little house but different flavors to choose from and the portion size is huge!!!

Blink and you might completely miss this place. Tucked away on a side street mixed in among various houses is a dessert spot that is the definition of a hidden gem. Koko Kakigori serves up some of the most delicious shaved ice desserts around. On a blazing hot Florida summer, this dessert is everything you hope for to cool you down. The Mango and Mint shaved ice is absolutely refreshing. The drizzle of passion fruit on top takes it up another level, giving that nice balance of sweet and slightly sour and tart, all mixed with the refreshingly fluffy shaved ice and mint. The inclusion of tarp balls hidden in the shaved ice provides pleasant chew to the dessert. Really amazing place that everyone should visit! Just be sure to come early as they sell out fast! :)

Fluffy shaved ice with fresh flavors and textures is what is advertised and it is exactly that. Both delicious and a work of art. The outdoor seating under the tree is great for a sunny day. I enjoyed the flavor, frothiness, and sweetness of the matcha with the shaved ice. Would definitely come back for the shaved ice and vibes!

This Japanese shaved ice place is so cute!! I went with my friends this weekend and they had so many fun flavors to select. I loved how this place is tucked away and located in a quiet little spot off the side of a busy street. Parking was not too bad - we just parked on the side of the street. Koko kakigori is in a cute little home with just enough room for a handful of people. I really enjoyed how you can pick your own bowl for the shaved ice to be plated on. We tried the ichigo matcha and it was so yummy! The red bean and mochi were nice touches. It was not overly sweet which we liked and had a good matcha flavor as well. I loved the seating outside and it being under a big shaded tree. It was a space that was good for relaxing and catching up with friends. I will definitely be going back to try other flavors in the near future. Try this place out it might be my new go-to place for shaved ice

This location is a bit tucked away, but so adorable. Everyone there was sweet and kind. Matcha Milk Shaved Ice - My siblings and I loved this so much. The matcha flavor wasn't too strong. I really enjoyed the milky taste, red bean, and mochi. Tangerine Cream Shaved Ice - Citrusy and pulpy. Interesting flavors.

Such a cute shop for some a delish sweet treat! I also adore the interactive option to choose your dish. We ordered 2 different flavors and enjoyed every second of it. They were considerate enough to bring one at a time allowing us to enjoy and finish each dish. Definitely a must try!

Koko Kakigori is tucked away in a cute little shop with an arrangement of bowls and ceramics that you can pick to place your kakigori in! We tried the ube, matcha ichigo and mango mint. All three were delicious but matcha ichigo was my personal favorite. Be prepared to spend some time outdoors because there is only outdoor seating available! We brought our own bug spray to prepare ourselves for the surrounding mosquitos. They will come and serve your kakigori to your party. Remember it's only open on the weekends!

Just found my new favorite spot in Orlando! This place serves the fluffiest, most flavorful ice treats you'll ever have. When you walk in, you get to pick a gorgeous handcrafted ceramic bowl before ordering at the counter. They fill it with snow-like ice and chef-curated ingredients that are simply divine. We tried the ICHIGO MATCHA, a delightful strawberry matcha mix with red beans--an absolute must-try! You can enjoy your treat in their beautiful garden, perfect for those hot summer days. I'll definitely be spending a lot of time here!

Super cute spot! Very small shop with a few tables outside to sit at. You get to choose your own serving bowl out of the various options they have. The dessert itself is absolutely adorable and very shareable. We got the Ube coco flavor and it was delicious. It had red beans, jellies, and jackfruit inside. A perfect treat to cool you down in this hot weather - would definitely recommend Koko Kakigori for your next sweet craving! I'm excited to come back and try their other flavors.

I'm so happy Koko Kakigori finally have a brick and mortar store! I've been following their pop-up for a while and they just had a soft opening of their store today. Located in the same lot as Kaya, this small shop is super cute and make a great addition next to Kaya. Kakigori is a Japanese shaved ice (more like fluffy ice) and it's a delightful dessert. Even though their soft opening was during Filipino fest with a lot of people, the service was painless and it didn't take them long to make my order. There were only 2 flavors available at the moment: Ube Coconut or Apple Berry Chai. I chose to go with Ube Coconut since I can't resist anything with Ube. The shaved ice comes in a paper cup on a wooden tray so you can easily enjoy the treat without the messiness. The shaved ice was so fluffy and the Ube coconut topping was to die for! It was creamy and nutty, and below the shaved ice were some yummy that I couldn't name but they were all delicious and added nice flavors & textures. Overall, I couldn't be happier to have a kakigori place to stop by after my routine visit to Kaya!

Fun little spot that sells flavored shaved ice with a menu that changes regularly. It's only open on the weekends but I came on Friday afternoon so there was only a couple other people. Sufficient amount of parking but may be trickier during Kaya's open hours and on the weekends. I guess since it's eating ice outdoors, people won't stay overtly long in case the ice melts but still. It operates out of a cozy little shack and there's outdoor seating by this nice big tree so even in the middle of a hot May day, it wasn't too bad because of the shade. The flavors all sound so fun and interesting. We got the ube coconut today and it came with pandan jelly, red bean and jackfruit inside the ice. Quite yummy, very fun. The ice takes awhile to come out but at least it's not too hot outside while you wait. They also sell soymilk ($5 for plain and $6 for flavor of the day) and it was quite tasty, similar to the ones I've had in Asia. A little pricy for the size though, it came in like a little 10 oz-ish cup. Overall very cute and fun concept, would love to try their other flavors!

I love shaved ice, especially the type of shaved ice that this place has! The ice is very soft and melts in your mouth, and isn't in like big ice chunks like snow cones. When ordering your shaved ice, you're able to pick your own bowl, which is a really neat concept! All of the bowls are unique and really pretty. My friends and I were pleasantly surprised that there was more to the shaved ice than just the flavoring and ice! Each flavor had additional toppings inside it. I loved the ichigo matcha flavor one a lot. The strawberries and matcha whipped cream went really nicely together. The black sesame was pretty good too! The coconut flavor complimented it well. There's a decent amount of street parking, along with a decent amount of spots to sit at. The only downside would be that it's a bit pricey, but as an occasional treat it's pretty worth it. Overall, I would give it a solid 4/5

Small little dessert shop located next to Kaya. There is a small little yard with shaded seating underneath a large tree. The desserts were delicious! We ordered the matcha with strawberry and the mango jasmine slush (not too sweet). The dishes were well presented and nice on a hot summer afternoon. I would definitely go back to try their other shaved ice flavors!

I saw this place on Instagram, decided to check it out and it did not disappoint! First off there is no actual building to sit inside but rather a small booth where you order and they'll deliver it to you in the outside sitting area. Their menu rortates each week and on the week I went I got the persimmon and ube coconut. The persimmon had a very slight fruity flavor with chewy mochi balls but my favorite was definitely the ube coocnut that had a few sesame flakes on it! The ice melts into your mouth and has a similar feeling to eating Korean bingu. In addition, the size is definitely worth sharing between a small group of friends. The employees are very nice and if you ever want to try Japanese shaved ice, this is the place to go!

Tucked away on Mills in Orlando, Koko Kakigori is a delightful gem serving traditional shaved ice great for sharing! They have a seasonal menu featuring flavors the complement each other perfectly. The cozy atmosphere adds to the experience, and each serving of shaved ice is crafted with meticulous care, paying attention to every detail. The quality of ingredients truly stands out, everything tastes so fresh. With outdoor seating conveniently placed near Kaya! The staff is friendly and accommodating. Make sure to check their opening days and times on instagram--its a must visit!

Been here numerous times and it doesn't disappoint, Local Japanese inspired shave ice that is slightly hidden near Kaya. Beautiful seating outside and seasonal flavors. Shave ice price ranges from around $15 but everything is homemade and handpicked. From the homemade flavors, handpicked fruits, and even the homemade mochi! It can be a very questionable price when paying for ice as some may say BUT - what other place in Orlando sells genuine quality shave ice... NONE. It truly is the best, I promise. They treat you kindly and the bowls that the shave ice is served in are usually their ceramic bowls which is also locally supported!!

I got to try this place on their opening night and was one of their first 50 customers! Aesthetically they really nailed the whole thing and I was super pleased with my choice. I love the location, it's so quaint and on some nights there are a bunch of cute spots on the grass where you can sit and listen to live music.

This is my favorite place for dessert in Orlando. The delicate sweet ice and fresh seasonal fruit is served in one of a kind ceramics. The rotating menu adds exclusivity and keeps things fresh. Love this place, can't wait for them to have indoor seating for those hot days. Highly recommend!

Such a flavorful shave ice experience. We tried their Pumpkin Black Sesame and the Apple Berry Chai. I definitely liked the Apple Berry Chai the best but both were pretty good. They also have such a cute setup outside. Can't wait to stop by again. - Pumpkin Black Sesame - Apple Berry Chai
