Sugar Mountain

By far the best snowcones around! Every flavor we’ve tried has been amazing and always the best customer service! My personal favorite is wedding cake with cream!

I love this place!
Comparable to TC Shaved Ice. I wouldn’t say one is better than the other. They’re both a great, cold yummy treat. The staff here is always exceptionally nice. Quick service.
Make sure you ask for a stamp rewards card so that you can earn free sno cones!

Great place probably the best snowcones in Dallas and I do not say that lightly. The owner Mary is just the cutest and this place if just amazing she makes all her own flavor and there are some unique ones as well like russet werewolf and my personal favorite river water. I can’t wait to come back. I love this place so much o commute from north Dallas here just for her snowcones. Try one and change your life !!!

I love this place! Staff is incredibly friendly and willing to give you samples in case you’re not really sure what the flavors taste like. Great variety of flavors and very inexpensive too!

Great snow cones! On hot days there is always a line, but worth the wait. The staff is friendly and willing to make recommendations because their list of flavors is really long. They have unique syrups like Alpine Sunset and Snow Angel. Also, I always feel safe driving off with these snow cones because there is no precarious mound of ice on top of the cup. Snow cones come level with the top of the cup.

Staff was very friendly and made us feel welcome. They have a great selection of flavors, offer a very small size for the young ones and even have a small selection for the four legged family members.

This is a little shack off of Parker Road! The staff is super friendly and the flavors are many and delicious. The smallest size is 1.50 and the largest 4.50, so this place is very affordable. The ice is not as crunchy as some places, but it’s not as light and fluffy as Bahama Bucks. I would recommend this place if you are craving a sno cone and you are nearby! I fully enjoyed my sno cone and my brother loves his as well! You can also add ice cream, espresso, and other toppings to your sno cone if you want!

Really nice lady she had me try new flavors she invented. The snow cone was super good and finely shredded!

My new favorite shaved ice place. Seems family operated. The young girl that helped me was fantastic. Tons of flavors and the texture of the ice is perfect!

So many flavors awesome spot great real flavors! They don’t use that cheap stuff. There small is a big size! So cheap and affordable

This place is close and has a good snowy mouthfeel. Lots of flavors and even snacks for dogs. The lines can be long on hot afternoons but they have 2 drive-​thru windows so it’s not too long of a wait. Wish they had seating or a patio but it’s easy to drive over to Big Lake Park at Rainier and Parker. The «wild» flavors have a lot of zing. One of these days I need to try the sour flavoring options.

This is a snowcone place. 15-​year old kids work here. It’s cheap cheap cheap.
I don’t know why anyone would complain about a snowcone place. It is exactly what it is. They even have a drive-​thru, sugar-​free flavors, and dog treats.
The only problem you’ll have is trying to decide which flavor to get.

My sister took me here since she said her co-​workers had said this place has amazing shaved ice. I have gone to TC Shaved since I was little and they always mount up the ice to look like a «mountain» so the name Sugar Mountain already sounded yummy.
My experience here was meh… The girl writing down our orders wasn’t that nice and seemed irritated about just being there. I had ordered the Tiger Blood and the shaved ice came out without the «mountain» on top which was super disappointing because it didn’t seem like I was eating a real snow cone and the mountain is the best part. I did however really like that they had an extra small size since I never finish my shaved ice so having the extra small was a convenient option.

This place has gotten me hooked on snocones. I usually get the extra small size, which I can still barely finish, for only $ 1.75. This is my friends’ favorite meet-​up spot, because we can afford it on our meek college budgets, and a snocone is exactly what kids crave on blistering hot Texas summer afternoons. We usually park and get out of our cars to order, taking our snocones to sit at the shaded picnic benches outside of Burger Street.
I like to try new things every time I go, especially when the flavors have weird names. My favorites are Wedding Cake, Fuzzy Navel (a peachy flavor), and Frog in a Blender (a kid’s flavor). Ask the employees what their favorite is and they’ll concoct up something cool. You can get two flavors in one cup, too, which I always forget. Try nerds or gummy bears in your snocone. Surprisingly good. Sugar Mountain has made me crave their fine shaved ice on a daily basis.

Gonna keep this short since it’s just a stand in the middle of the parking lot.
Food:
Lemon-​Lime flavor
Ripe on the vine
Peach
Birthday cake
Angel something
Sugar Mountain is a solid snow cone place, but I’ve definitely had better. The problem is their ice. It’s just not shaved that fine and therefore the syrup all just pools at the bottom and and doesn’t get absorbed in the ice. Their syrups are all pretty solid, with the Ripe on the Vine and Angel something being the standouts. But the birthday cake is pretty bad. It just tastes so artificial. You’re not going to fool your brain into thinking this is similar to cake. It taste chemically sweet and awkward. No thanks
I’ve had the place a couple times and while it’s not bad, I wouldn’t recommend it. I feel bad because the people in there are great and have no qualms about explaining the whole library of flavors. Unfortunately, it’s definitely a meh kinda place.

Ice is finer than most «shaved» ice places, which is what I like more than crunchier ones.
4 stars for the flavor I got which is their best seller, Snow Angel I believe? It’s colorless and not too sweet nor particularly sour, simply refreshing. I taste hints of pineapple and lime?, but the owner claims the secret recipe doesn’t have any of the flavors that appear on the regular menu.
I’m sure there are a lot of great flavors, but another friend got Kiwi Strawberry and after 4 people trying it, we couldn’t find either of those flavors. More like a sweet cough syrup… The Sour Grape and Watermelon flavor was not bad.
With that said, I love the Snow Angel and will definitely be back for more.

I am really shocked we all experienced a horrible time at this place considering it received such high reviews. I definitely consider myself a snow cone expert considering I grew up on this things and it was our main cool treat in New Orleans. Since I have been in Texas I have not found anything close to what I am use to experiencing from back in New Orleans, but I have found a few places that came a little close.
I really wanted to give this place 1 star, but since I had a few pros I bumped it up to 2 stars. Ok I tried this place for the 1^st time for a change to my usual shop JC’s Snow Cones from down the street. I had high hopes for this place and I was let down!
This is a small family owned place that offers drive thru and walk up service. It’s located on the corner of Parker Rd. and Alma Dr. in the same parking lot as Burger Street. They offer a huge variety of snow cone flavors and also a few sugar free options. I recall seeing 5 size offerings… x-​small (8 oz.), small (possibly 12oz), medium (16oz), large (20oz), and beast (32oz). They even had add-​on options… the few I recall seeing were gummy bears, sour gummy bears, nerds, and 3 flavors option… each were .25 cents each. The craziest thing about the gummy bears is that they cut them in half. I mean seriously who takes the time to do that. That is so tacky… gummy bears are too cheap to skimp on. I believe they offered margarita salt and chili powder as a topping which was no charge. They also offered smoothies, lattes, and even dog snow cones.
I will start with the pros, which were not many. The 1^st one was the people were friendly and they seemed to be organized when delivering my order to the window. 2^nd the shaved ice was really fine which is always a plus in my book. And 3^rd they did accept checks as a method of payment instead of just cash. I hoped they accepted debit/​credit cards but they didn’t so I had to go to a nearby ATM since I had left my checks at home and I didn’t have cash on me.
We ordered 4 snow cones…1 large tigers blood, 1 large vampires venom (a clear version of tigers blood and coconut or piña colada — I can’t recall which one) with gummy bears added on top, 1 medium pineapple, and 1 x-​small piña colada. All of the snow cones came flat topped which is a change from the usual cone shaped tops I’m used to.
The tigers blood flavor was weak. It tasted like sweetened water with a hint of flavoring. I definitely like JC’s better. The vampire venom is a cool creation, but the flavoring was just okay… definitely nothing to write home about, I am sad to say it was a weak flavoring as well. The pineapple flavor was HORRID, it was absolutely not sweet at all instead it seemed like someone left out the sugar and just went with a sour flavor instead. Lastly the piña colada, which we ordered for my 3 yr. old niece, was the worst of all. After she took a few sips she repeatedly started saying she no longer wanted it. We were a bit shocked since kids love sweet stuff. I took a taste of hers and I quickly learned why. It tasted like dirt with a hint of sweet.
Although the people were nice and the ice was shaved really fine, I seriously doubt we will be going back to this place!

WOWIE! I wish I had found out about this place this summer. The sheer number of options is mind boggling; practically everything under the sun! They even have these gnarly flavors like my current favorite «snow angel». The owner told me it was her best seller and a SECRET FORMULA. That’s enough for me! Subtly sweet with a hint of tang. LOVE! If you have not tried your shaved ice with whippy cream… DO IT. 50cents extra for complete frozen bliss. Totally worth it.
I am definitely going back to try the more obscure options — silver fox… russet werewolf (which is grapefruit /​cranberry) vampire venom?! The list goes on. My dogs also devoured the banana/​peanut butter shaved ice. They told me that they can’t wait to sample the strawberry milkbone flavor.

Shaved Ice — nice alternative for a summer dessert option
Fun funky flavors worth trying I’m not too hyped on sugar mountain but its a fun place and the prices aren’t bad. They have Happy Hour Shaved ice too so that makes the treat even sweeter.
I tried Tiger Blood with Strawberry and honestly there isn’t too much flavor with tiger blood but you can taste hints of coconut.

One would think that in the scorching heat of Texas, that there would be more snowcone places known for both quality and price. Sugar Mountain is the perfect place for a cheap –but DELICIOUS treat that will satisfy your craving for a cool and refreshing snack/​drink.
This adorable place, though shabby in appearance, makes up for it in the service and taste of the items on their menu. Every flavor from «Mango Margarita» to «Liquid Luck» to «Blood, Guts, and Eyeballs (for the kids)» is both fun and tasty. Also they have shaved ice treats for your dog (banana syrup and peanut butter shreds).
Any flavor — added with cream — beats any chain-​restaurant smoothies, slushies, and coffee.
