🌧️🌴 EAST TEXAS WEATHER IS BACK AT IT AGAIN! 😂

We’re OPEN TODAY 1–6 PM, and it looks like we may have some rain hanging around for the first hour or so. But a little rain isn’t going to stop the SHAVE ICE!

If it’s raining, we’ll attempt the Islands Drive-Thru! 🚗🍧 Just pull right up to our window, stay dry in your car, and we’ll take care of you from there.

Come grab your favorite or try one of our fall flavors while the lines are short. And remember—our SHAVE ICE is soft as snow, not East Texas sleet! 😎

We’re OPENING TODAY AT 1 PM, so come grab a rainbow of your own before the weather rolls in! If you haven't tried one, you're missing out, cause it's next level!

We’re expecting a pretty strong line of storms around 3 PM, so we’ll be playing the afternoon by ear. 👉 Stay tuned to our page in case mother nature makes us close early.
