    Great mid day snack, cash only, but a classic and onolicious. Will be back to try them all.

    On a hot day, nothing can beat a shave ice from Ice Garden, finely shaved ice, it's so soft and fine that it just melts in your mouth. So refreshing and tasty. Price is very reasonable, but just have to remember it's cash only.

    I didn't grow up eating Ice Garden, but was introduced to it by many friends who are advocates for a small neighborhood staple. I can see why Ice Garden has persevered throughout the years. The shop is humble, nostalgic, and hits the spot when you're sweltering on that hot parking level. My go to flavors are any light and fruity, like the grape flavors, strawberry and blue vanilla. I like to add the mini mochi balls as they're SWEET and not bland blobs of dough. The syrups are made in house and they are thick. So give it a minute to set into the fluffy shave ice. The shop is still cash only, so be prepared for that and bring a hat if you're standing in the sun. The shops process is: take a order, make the order, give the order, then take the next order. So make sure you have everything you need so you don't need to go back in line!

    This small mom and pop shave ice spot specializes in Asian inspired flavors including halo halo, milk tea, taro, and more. They've truly nailed the 'not too sweet' expectation that's sought after in desserts among the Asian culture. '#5': Milk shave ice with taro and mochi balls. I added a custard/flan to this, which was honestly a game changer! The shave ice was soft and the flavor was like a lightly sweetened milk tea. Loved the taro, and the mochi balls added a nice chewy texture to it. Portion sizes are generous as well! The lines here can get long, but that's how you know it's legit! Cash only place!!
