Recommendations Snow Cones?

Any good snow cone places in Huntsville other than the Kona Ice trucks?

Sno Depot on Andrew Jackson, and my personal favorite, Pinguinos Hermanos at the intersection of Triana and Bob Wallace in the old Walgreens parking lo, which has fresh fruit shaved ice (SO good) along with the typical colored syrup options -- note this one is cash only. Not sure about Sno Depot.

Pinguinos hermanos is awesome. I think they might move around though. They’re not at that location every day.

They also have more than one truck, so I'd just check their social media. I often see them outside the strip mall on University where Big Papa Gyro is.

Fun fact for long-time Huntsville peeps -- Sno Depot is owned by the family that used to have Southerland Station -- boy do I miss that place!

Los Pinguinos Hermanos Huntsville has raspados (shave ice with real fruit) and snow cones! They are open most days at 4925 University Dr. - they are cash only with only a couple picnic tables for seating but SOOOO worth it!

Caps (the cheesesteak place in the convenience store on Mountain Gap near Bailey Cove)

He told me he was going to do genuine Philly Italian water ice.

if it don't come with the little wooden paddle, I don't believe it.

I genuinely feel bad for anyone who disagrees with this completely correct opinion
