Sno Cone Challenge

So at the beginning of the summer,

the Hubs and I decided to have a

Summer Challenge

of hitting all the different

Sno Shacks around the Orem/Provo area!

We will take a picture of each one and post it here as we go!

So check back often!

We will give our opinions of each one, the location of each one, and the pricing of each one.

Then I challenge you to go visit them all too!

(Don't take our opinions to say that you shouldn't try them!)

I mean, who doesn't love snowies?!

#1-Hokulia Shave Ice Co.

Location:

1445 N. Canyon Road

Provo, UT

Prices:

(if you go before I update this,

let me know the price!)

Likes:

*crickets*

No in all seriousness, we weren't that impressed.

I think the only thing I liked was that they accepted checks..since we didn't have cash!

(which i'm sure most of them do!)

Dislikes:

-the cups, we are just not big fans of the flower cups

-the quantity, we definitely recommend sharing (even a small!)

bigger is not always better..

-"snow capped", makes your snowie melt in seconds. not worth it!

-too crowded, why does everyone like it anyway?

-way too many flavors to choose from

(I'm very indecisive)

-funky flavors, I mean Wedding Cake? Sounds gross.

Anyway, you won't be seeing the McDonald's at Hokulia's anytime soon!

#2-Summer Sno

Location:

703 South 400 East

Orem, UT

Prices:

(if you go before I update this,

let me know the price!)

Likes:

-the cups.

Styrofoam Regular Cups.

(yeah the flower ones are cute and whatnot. but seriously

so hard to eat out of without having it all over your pants!)

-the flavors, they kind of have a lot as well,

but the main ones that are the best are their own special flavors.

-the quantity, a small is a small, and a medium is a medium. (how simple!)

-perfect ratio, flavoring to shaved ice

Dislikes:

-can be crowded, depends on when you go

-pricing, goes up each year..

Summer Sno is by far our favorite right now!

But we are still keeping an open mind about them all.

#3-Lani's Hawaiian Style Shave Ice

Location:

1767 S. State St.

Orem, UT

Prices:

(if you go before I update this,

let me know the price!)

Likes:

-literally no one there ever, at least that what it seems like!

-the quantity, even though it was in flower cups, we didn't feel like it was a mess.

Dislikes:

-notsoperfect ratio, too much flavoring

-unique flavors, but not horrible

-the flavors, not very many normal flavors

-flower cups...nuff said.

All in all, Lani's isn't horrible, but it's definitely not the best.

We felt like there were a lot of weird flavors and

not very many normal ones to be "safe" with.

#4- The Barn

Location:

444 East 3630 North

Provo, UT

(Parking Lot of the

Timpview Car Wash)

Prices:

Kiddie - $1.00

Small - $2.00

Medium - $3.00

Large - $4.00

..Add-On..

Ice Cream $1.00

Topper $0.50

(sweetened condensed milk, half/half, heavy whipping cream)

Likes:

-the theme its a barn..hay bails...etc. It's fun!

-prices, probably the cheepest we've seen so far

-the tables, they put holes in the table so you can put your snowie in there!

-the location, it's a good hang out spot, not too busy,

plus there is grass as well.

-the flavors, lots of different flavors, but seriously

CINNAMON/ROOTBEER. Favorite!

Dislikes:

-the flower cups, BUT they weren't as bad

when you have a hole in the table to put it in.

-it's new, so they are still getting the hang of everything

We were really big fans of the Barn!

I LOVE Cinnamon/Rootbeer but no one has Cinnamon.

Ya, it's an oxymoron (cinnamon on shaved ice), but it's delicious!

I'll admit, we went twice in one day!

It's that good!
