The fact that this place is almost 40 mins away from me (on a good day) makes me want to cry! This is the absolute best shaved ice place I've ever come across and I make it a point to try shaved ice every where I go. Prior to finding this awesome place, I've been a huge fan of Bahama Bucks but try to find reasons on the weekend to head out to McKinney and currently it's either for Mellow Mushroom or Mom and Popcorn (reviews on these locations to come!).
It was just the husband and me on this trip but can't wait to bring the kids. The location is tons of tables and games to keep the whole crew entertained. The menu has such an amazing variety that I didn't know where to start so I asked for their most popular drinks with a little sweetness, but not too much. They recommended the Pineapple Upside Down Cake and it was exactly what the doctor ordered! I don't know how you manage to put that flavor in a snow cone but it was absolutely amazing and tasted just like the real thing (the picture does not do it justice). My husband also asked for a recommendation and got The New One because we have pina colada and pineapple. It had a wonderful balance, but ended up being just a little to sweet for him - he's going to order the Pineapple Upside Down cake next time...lol. If you're in the area, or you're like me and you're in love with a good snow cone, you will not be disappointed by making the drive to this place.
Oh, and the people working there could NOT be nicer and the owner...

Read moreFunky Munky is a must place to visit... . I hate to get too personal, however every spoon full that I put in my mouth, was an instant smile on my face:) The location is absolutely perfect. It's off the beat and path, so even though your in the city, it gives you a feeling of being on a country farm away from the hustle and bustle of life. It's gives you a relaxed state of mind. It's totally family friendly and not overly expensive. There are at least 25 options, so no one will leave without having exactly what they prefer. I forgot the name of the item I ordered however I can say it was wonderful. On a final note, I got a chance to meet the owner and he was super nice. If your in the McKinney area, Funk...
