A new shaved ice place opened up in Escondido just three weeks ago. I cannot help but be nervous when I see a new business open in this economy, especially when it does not necessarily fill a need. Well, let me take that back. It fills MY needs, because I LOVE shaved ice, but I worry that people do not share my sugary icy passions.
Today, while driving by (I pass it twice a day) I decided I needed to indulge. I went with the 50/50; vanilla ice cream, dreamsicle snow, and marshmallow topping (a combo).
SOOOO GOOD! Wow. What a treat. The ice cream at the bottom was not cheap vanilla ice cream, it had real vanilla bean flakes. I am already addicted. Thank God for new businesses willing to take risks. I hope they make it, but after my visit I have high hopes. I just hope that I do not have to solely keep them in business...
They gave me a coupon for next time.
I love this place!
I just had my first shaved ice (in decades) at the Camel Races. While not as fancy or exotic as Baltimore's, it was refreshingly yummy and there is something about a Blue Tongue that screams "summer". We'll have to this "Snowball in Escondido" a fighting chance. Enjoy more for me.
