Island Ice

My favorite shaved ice place in the city, and it’s in my old stomping grounds! Island Ice has the perfect amount of fine shaved ice mixed with just enough juice, unlike a lot of joints that mostly give you crunchy ice and very little juice flavor.
Piña colada is my go to, but last time I tried a root beer made «island style» (island style means they add a scoop of vanilla frozen yogurt). The frozen yogurt mixed with the root beer was an awesome icy version of a root beer float and I’d definitely get it again when I’m in town.
They also have really great hot dogs and a few other items. Definitely one of my favorite little summer stops in OKC.

Summer’s officially here when you have your first snow cone. Isn’t there just something so fun about a walk-​up window, picking your favorite flavor, and then diving into the first cooling bites of summer’s inaugural snow cone?
My hubby has been building us a cool new patio next to the pool. It has involved digging out all the grass, about a foot down, installing rock, adding hundreds of bricks in a herringbone pattern, and using a brick saw to cut pieces to fit. It is hard work, and I have been of absolutely no help. Until, that is, I saw Island Ice and had the good mind to stop and get him a snow cone to cool him down. Naturally, no one wants to eat a snow cone by themselves, so I had one as well.
We didn’t opt for island style (a layer of ice cream in the middle of the snow cone) but the black cherry and pink lemonades were pretty great, all on their own. We’ll definitely be back soon, since this is so close to our house.
Happy summer, y’all!

This place is great, friendly people and they’re the only place in the city to serve your snow cone island style, where they put a scoop of ice cream in the middle of your snow cone. It’s awesome.

My two favorite things about summer are snow cones and swimming. This place has great snow cones. In addition to snow cones, they also have hotdogs and ice cream treats. The prices on the snow cones are more than reasonable and the service was excellent. I haven’t tried the food and doubt I ever will. I just love my summer snow cones and this placed did great for a great price. I’ll be back.
