Came in yesterday and the owner served us. Really great guy, gave me and my mom free samples when we could decide what to get. The Raspados had fresh ingredients and were priced very fairly. This is my new go to spot.

The BEST Raspados in town! Natural flavors, largest selection, and great service. My favorite is mango with coconut but you can't go wrong with any of their flavors!

Went today around 4:00PM. It was a bit busy, but regardless, the ladies made sure to attend me in a timely manner. I ordered 2 raspados which were nothing short of delicious They were also very polite and kind. Such a great experience!!

I saw this place as I passed by looking for a different establishment. I decided to make a stop here. I'm glad I did. Please see pictures and videos for more details. Upon walking in, we were greeted by 2 employees. The temperature felt good and they were playing good spanish music. The walls and decor were different colors. It smelled like mango and melon. We ordered a Frappuccino drink and a pina raspado. If you like pineapple, then you'll like this. If you love pineapple, then you're in for a treat. I'm not a coffee person, but it looked good. However, I did have a sip, but it's wasn't for me. I would recommend this place. The sizes are good for the price. There isn't any seating available, but there is counter space along some of the walls if you wish to stand and chill inside. There are no public restrooms available. Also, there are a lot of establishments in and around the area. So go out and have fun. Thank you.

This place is the bees knees! OMG! Forget about any other place. The syrups are so fresh and made with real fruits, veggies, and nuts. The flavor is on point, whether you want sweet or savory. No debate, hands down best place I've been to.
