Wanna Chill?

First time here and was very pleased with the service and the quality of the shave ice and so many favors to choose from, also if you are into coconut try the pineapple coconut because it’s delicious…

So happy they opened up this spot my son loves it. Shaved ice is colorful and fun~ sweet to see the high school kids working– glad to have he ice cream Back in our classic spot — knob hill

I was greeted and made to feel welcome by the hostess «Jamie» who was such a sweetheart. To make my visit even sweeter, my order was filled to perfection and it was delightfully delicious. I will be a loyal customer to Wanna Chill with such great customer service and awesome product. Keep up the super sweet work! See you soon!

This ice cream shop, that is near beach on PCH, has MANY customers with kids for obvious reasons. I was there with my two grandkids aged 4 and 6. The 4 yr old needed a bathroom fast. And everyone that’s got kids or has been around kids, knows that if a 4 yr old says they gotta go potty, that means RIGHT NOW!
They refused to let us use a bathroom.
I am mortified! By law, in California, food service companies must have a restroom available. Even without a law, who tells a child «No! You can’t use our bathroom»?
Please boycott this restaurant.

My name is Sydney Davis and I went on opening day at their newest location and entered in a raffle and won a beach cruiser! Absolutely love my bike and am so great full so thank you so much! They are so nice and welcoming and a great place all around. I go here all the time with my friends and family and love everything. They are so inviting and the food there is great!

Tasty but a ways from the beach. Young friendly staff made the treats fast at very flavorful
As we were leaving a large group came in
Place was jumping
New location just opened
Must try it was well

Tried this place for the first time as a Sunday afternoon treat. It was Amazing! We’ve had shaved ice before, but we had never had it «Wanna Chill» style… They add ice cream! It’s a perfect combination. Since it was my first time, I decided to go with a creation from the wall across the register, I had «edward’s creation» it was soooo good (good job Edward, whoever you are lol). Highly suggest you try this place for yourself. They are super friendly and will answer any question if you happen to be a newbie like me.

Great spot! Took step daughter to get some ice cream and found this awesome place by Unilocaling and so glad we stopped. I had to try what they recommended and that was some macadamia nut ice cream and shaved ice on top. Wow!!! So glad I made that choice, it was great. I noticed they have a lot of different specials on certain days so highly recommend this place. We enjoyed it a great deal and will for sure be back

Yummmmyyyy and on wednesdays u can get any size shave ice for 2 bucks I love this stuff.

I’ll give this place 5 stars. Yeah the ice was great and the syrups tasty but the fact that young people can deal with a bunch of indecisive tweeners, dance moms, is amazing. One kid must have asked 10 questions and the 18 or so dude behind the counter was so kind I couldn’t beleive it. Keep it up folks!

Best snow cones you will ever try. They have endless topping and flavors. Its a fun treat for me and my kids. They also have ice cream and my husband says the frozen coffee drinks are yummy too.

Shave ice with ice cream hits the spot!
I was also impressed with the mid-​week ice cream scoop special.

The banana cream pie combo with ice cream is freaking amazingly delicious.
Wednesday’s they have a $ 2 deal all day for Shaved Ice.

It’s a shame I’ve driven past Wanna Chill many times and never noticed them until now. And they’ve been in business for the past 3 years.
Super excited to try everything on their menu. It takes a little bit of training especially on our first time… to get to know the menu and the combination of flavors.
I tried the Strawberries and Crème (under Combo favorites) with lychees and mochi at the bottom. It was refreshing and perfectly sweet. The syrups are not artificial like the ones I’ve had when I was a child. My boyfriend ordered the custom syrup mix: Hawaiian, mango and strawberry. I had a bite of it and it was a very good combination of flavors.
We came back the very next day and tried their California Surf Combo (pineapple, strawberry and coconut) with again lychees and mochi at the bottom. The server was different today and had put less lychees than the person from yesterday. Either way it was still pretty tasty. My boyfriend had the passionfruit, strawberry and coconut with a scoop of birthday cake ice cream at the bottom. It was a delicious but very decadent combo.
With both visits the service was good. They took the time to answer our questions and reiterated their $ 2 Weds for any size shaved ice and ice cream. The bill came to about $ 8 — $ 9 for two people each time. We tried some of their ice cream samples but nothing really stood out.
Personally I prefer the texture of snow ice over the shaved ice but then again it is a personal preference. Overall I really enjoyed the shaved ice here and a perfect option for people watching their figures.

Super delicious shave ice !!! Love the condense milk. Can also mix icecream with shave ice with topping. Soooo good here. Ohh n ice isn’t crunchy either like some places. It melts right in your mouth. Yummy

2 stars for Wanna Chill? 1 star for their acai bowls… WHY OH WHY DID I CHEAT ON YOU, BANZAI BOWLS? I am the worst :(please forgive me.
I was having a serious craving for an acai bowl while in Redondo Beach and this place was down the street from my hotel so I decided to give it a shot. Please do yourself a favor and do not order the acai bowls here… They do an excellent job on the texture and consistency of their bowls but it just did not TASTE even remotely good. The Acai is blended with strawberries and bananas. The fruit that they put on top which are bananas, strawberries and blueberries were gross. The banana slices were not ripe and tasted hard. There were chunks of strawberries that had the top white part (NOT RIPE ENOUGH) and probably 2 blueberries… The fruit was not sweet. The granola that they have on top is just meh. all this for about $ 6.75.
Also ordered a lil kahuna (small) shaved ice. You can choose up to three different flavors and there are tons of flavors to choose from. They give a pretty good amount and the portions are definitely big enough to share with a person. It was about $ 2.75. On Wednesdays they have a deal on their shaved ice, $ 2!

My husband and I love supporting neighborhood small businesses. It’s great to see that the employees are local high school students… very friendly and hard working!
They have an extensive list of syrups and decent ice cream flavor options. You can choose more than one flavor of syrup too! I personally love the P.O.G & mango with vanilla ice cream, and hubby enjoys the Banana Split with cookie dough ice cream. They have something for everyone’s taste buds =)
They oftentimes have a deal on Groupon, but their prices are already pretty good. I think they also have a special on Wednesdays. Go check it out!

Wednesdays are $ 2 any size shaved ice! This deal can NOT be beat.
Very busy on a Wednesday when I went around 2:30pm. Servers are very friendly and the service is speedy. They have a great variety of shaved ice flavors.
I would have preferred less flavoring syrup and more sweeten condensed milk, but that’s a personal preference.
I was not offered a loyalty card :(bummed

We came here on a whim after dinner. Another bookmark taken care of. There were hardly any customers here when we walked in. But then it got crowded rather quickly.
The guy who rang us up was patient with me as I tried to decide what I wanted. We got here for the Wednesday special where all sizes are just $ 2. What a deal!
TIP: Any charge under $ 5 will have a fee added if using a debit/​credit card. Not sure what it was, but I know I didn’t want to pay for it!
I ordered two mediums. The first one was supposed to have Passionfruit Bobas on the side. And those little pearls cost $ 0.75 extra, kind of expensive for about 20 balls! Never-​the-​less, they were supposed to be on the side and the girl said she put them in the bottom. Argg! So, I asked if they were in the one I was holding and she assured me so. We went on our way, eating in the car. Hmmm, I got impatient and ended up stirring all my flavors together so I could dig to the bottom and taste test my bobas. Lo and behold, there were none to find in my cup! When we got home, I gave my son his cup of deliciousness. And where were my bobas? They were in the bottom of his cup. By the time I got to tasting them, they were mushy and tasted like all the syrup that had permeated the melted ice.
Soooo, I am not totally cool with this first impression. Not sure if I’d go back again or not. Funny thing is that yesterday, I discovered flavored bobas and today, I found more! So, I guess they’re more abundant than I thought!
Can’t beat the $ 2 charge for any sized shaved ice! So, if I do make it back, it will have to be on a Wednesday, and hopefully this deal is still going on. I’ll skip the bobas … maybe just sample a few and call it good. As for being shaved ice, it is about like any other I’ve had.
If you want a cold treat, stop on in. They’ll probably have whatever flavor syrup you’re looking for!
