Tropic Hawaiian Shave Ice

I enjoy these snow cones because the ice isn’t hard. It melts when it hits your mouth. Very affordable for the portions of the shaved ice

I think occasionally they have a stand outside but the shaved ice is actually inside Speedy Zapatos restaurant! They have tons of flavors and the shaved ice is silky! It’s perfect, by far the best place to get it.

Now hear this… EXCELLENT!!!
I just got back from Hawaii and this is just as good and the same quantity for the price as you will find there.
For those that refer to this as «shaved» ice, they are amateurs and know not what they speak. And any business that advertises that they sell «shaved» ice does not know a thing about it and you will end up with a snow cone consistency.
It is «Shave» ice just as this business states.
This shop sets up their tent outside Speedy Zapatos Mexican Food
on Blackstone and El Paso Ave in the mid afternoons.
and when the tent is not set up at other times you can still just go inside of Speedy Zapatos and oder.
I ordered a medium for $ 4. A Styrofoam cup is dropped into a large plastic plate with a hole in the center that accepts that cup. Then the shave ice is dispensed into the cup and built up and packed into a large mound as shown in my photo. Included are up to 3 flavors and the owner tells me he has more than 30 that you will be able to choose from once they get going a bit more. On today’s visit there were about 20 to choose from. They also include a «Snow Cap» (essentially condensed milk) generous drizzle at no charge if you want it.
Compare this shops size of Shave Ice to one of the most popular Shave Ice shops on the island of Kauai here
and you will see that in this shop you will get the biggest «bang for your buck» compared to other shops in Clovis/​Fresno.
I have been to Lalani Shave Ice in Clovis and Tropic Hawaiian Shave Ice blows them out of the water when it come to the biggest bang for your buck.

So good! And real shaved ice, not sno-​cones. So many flavors to pick from too. We were looking all over Fresno for shaved ice and could never find any, then my sister saw this place while driving by one day, so we had to stop by. Great on a hot day!
