Tropical Sno of Springfield — Restaurant in Springfield

My wife and I were looking to make the impulse 9:00pm decision of getting snow cones. Unfortunately, the first several places that came up were closed by that point. Then we came across this location and saw it was open until 10. We were excited but weren't sure what to expect. However, we pulled up and were immediately greeted with a happy man (I presume the owner based on info I'm seeing online) who guided us through their selections. His personality alone made the whole experience fantastic! This, plus the fact you could fully customize whatever flavors you wanted, made for a wonderful dessert trip for us. Excited to come back again soon and definitely recommend it to anyone interested in a delicious snow cone utilizing real hawaiian ice!

I love, love, love this place! I go almost every day. Ellen, Lonnie and Liam are so nice. They treat me like family. When I started going last season I always had the Dole. The pineapple and Orange are my favorite. But this season I branched out with the shaved ice. Oh my goodness so darn good. Not like a regular snow cone. It’s soft like snow. My favorite is the iced coffee. It has vanilla cream and caramel on top. It tastes like a Frappuccino. I am hooked. Their prices are reasonable and their products are amazing! I love the dole flavors in a waffle cone. And besides the iced coffee flavor, my second favorite is the root beer float. I like to add the vanilla soft serve on the bottom. If you haven’t tried, you need to. Oh and ask for...
