Ice Queens

Ice Queens has delicious snowballs — shaved ice-​based treats with assorted syrupy deliciosity. (Or sugar-​free deliciosity).
The service is great and they always have good suggestions to try. There are also other things like pickles and I forget what all. They sell & take Go Local cards here as well.
Go there! I command you!

They stopped serving the soft serve that you could mix with your ice and really set them apart from the others. bummer.

We purchased a Groupon and went on the last day before it expired. We made sure to check the website for hours of operation. When we arrived, the trailer was closed up… a woman walked out of the main building and said in not-​so-​nice-​a-​tone «Can I help you?» Yes, we said, we have a Groupon…‘then she said in also not-​a-​nice-​tone «Don’t you know, its the last day?»
There was no, hey, we’re sorry, please come back and see us when we are open, or sorry about the hours, we would love to see you when we re-open…and, evidently they had summer hours and we were told the only way to find that out was to check twitter… uh…
I had been excited to try them out, but, wow, what an attitude. I think I would rather eat the money than give them my business.

I love Ice Queens. The shaved ice is tasty and the service is awesome.
I am not a doctor, but I feel that there can be no doubt that these consistent cryogenic treatments of my digestive system have helped me maintain an entirely normal pace in my natural human march to the grave.
Go get some IQ just as soon as they reopen for the season. You’ll be glad you did.

Great price. Nice ladies. Amazing mind boggling selection of flavors, Werther’s candy is a lot like butterscotch. Without a doubt, the BEST sno-​cone in Austin.

I rushed over to Ice Queens yesterday after reading all of the reviews and no one was there — it was 6:03pm! Behind me, came a truck and a car. We all pull in and sadly gazed at the closed trailer.
WHYYYYYYYYY!!!
Please revise your time — I had to come from far away for this. Since I had my snow cone craving still going, I had to go on to Casey’s for my fix… deliciousness! I want to try Ice Queens but I am afraid to waste another trip.

Holy jebeez. These are the best sno-​cones in town. Period. Super thin shaved ice makes a great texture, and there are always fun, exotic new flavors. Try the worthers original, the coffee, and, if you’re so inclined, the black licorice.
Hard to find, but worth the drive.

Best shaved ice I’ve ever had! Better than Hansen’s in New Orleans and it will make you throw rocks at Casey’s.
Check on Facebook to see when they’re open. It’s a bummer to go there and find them closed.

Found a roach antennae in the bottom of my cup just as I was almost finished with my snow cone… :/

You can get flavors made without nasty corn syrup. hooray! ask them to
recommend tasty flavor combinations, they will give you something good.

Yes, it’s shaved ice, and they have great flavors and combinations. What’s impressive about Ice Queens is their seating area, which includes hand sanitizer and bubbles for the kiddies. There is also ample car, moto, and bike parking! They have made their trailer a destination. AND the staff is super charming.

Great little truck nestled away behind Soma Vida on the East Side serving fluffy snow doused in a myriad of flavors. Even better, you can get frozen yogurt packed in the middle, or add on one of a variety of toppings like condensed milk or syrups. I was set on the yogurt option, so I chose a fruit flavor to compliment — peach. It was perfectly made, with a sweet combo available in every bite. I’m not sure I’ll get it any other way after trying it in a combo. That being said, I’m going to have to spend some serious time trying flavors. There are seemingly DOZENS, from the basic to the wild. The bf tried the organic pear, and it was very tasty. They have several organic flavors and some sugar-​free ones as well (sweetened with Stevia). So many options!
The service is super-​friendly, and the prices are incredibly reasonable. We got enough snow to choke a horse for $ 10. We didn’t come close to finishing it, and are planning some nice mixed drinks from the leftover slush.
They close pretty early, so get down there right after work and have a snow cone for dinner. Come on, it’s snow! It’s good for you! You know you wanna.. .

We found a coupon for this place on Facebook and went. This is just one of these original Austin places that you HAVE TO go to.
The snow cone flavors are plenty and adventurous. I had the organic sugar free variety and chose Almond Cola. Now, the stevia sweetener has its own taste. Mixed with Almond extract and Cola flavor you have the distinct adventure of an battery acid aftertaste. You might think «and that is a good review». Well, think about the heat in Austin. And the weird stuff in Austin. I tell you, it all comes together here.

Two Words – Effing AWESOME! Bbbbbad Bbbbbad Bbbbbad to the Cone!
This lil place kicks some major booty and the prices are very reasonable, Not really big on all the flavors being that I usually order the same flavor, but they definitely have a plethora of flavors to suit your liking.
I’m more than happy to support an East Austin establishment that is Austin-​based for sure, not to mention their website is the bomb diggity!
While in line I explained to my daughter that if you want more bang for your buck, your best bet is to order junior cones @ $ 1, that way you can go back and try a different flavor. Oh, I forgot to mention they give small samples just in case your wanna wander off into the deep end.
All in all, it was a very good first impression and one hell of a cone… definitely going back when I feel the urge.
Tre/​Trey/​Trae — not sure how to spell her name, but she was very friendly and made us feel extremely welcome… so a big A+ for that!
Oh, and Amy is a huge Michael Jackson fanatic from what I’ve heard…
Enjoy!!!

I can’t figure out why their sno cones taste so much better than other similar establishments. My guess is because they offer the choice of condensed milk with your cone. Yes, condensed milk — the nectar of the Gods. Together, with my almond flavoring, I was in bliss.
Don’t pass up this little red trailer nestled behind Soma Vida on 11^th St!

This place is awesome. i stopped by today after trying to find some sno cones near home, and these are some bad ass sno cones. they have a whole lot of flavors combinations that others dont offer.
i think that its awesome that this place is owned and run by rollergirls. that just adds so much more to this place for me, and by surprise, the girl working the stand today also happened to be my motorcycle safety instructor with total rider, busy girl, motorcycles, rollerderby, and sno cones.
stop by this place and you wont be dissapointed, its a little hard to see, its off the road a bit, but there are signs by the street to help point it out.

All the flavors you could imagine.
And some super cool ladies.
I pretty much stop every time I pass by.

Riding my bike around east 11^th, I came across signs for Amy’s Ice Queens so I pulled in and found this awesome red trailer. It was about 92 outside and nothing seemed better than a sno ball (as she calles them), It was awesome. The flavors I sampled were great and tasted more pure then the other snow cone trailers around town. After sampling I went with Lemon Lime, took it over to one of the picnic benches and dove in. Damn it was tasty, cooled me right off.
Amy came over and sat down and we started chatting about all sorts of stuff: Austin, the change that is happening around town, food, motorcycles, what a cool chick.
I really like the neighborhood feel of her business and I think Amy has done a great job making a perfect product and a place for families to come and enjoy themselves

I’m from New Orleans and a good snowball is my birthright, dammit. I just got back from Ice Queens and am still enjoying my Nectar with condensed milk.
What makes a good snowball? It’s all about the ice. This is good ice. No big, unfortunate chunks are in the bottom of my cup. Just the right amount of syrup keeps the ice soft, good, and consistent — and that’s why Ice Queens has just kicked Casey’s butt. Those people serve slush puppies, not snowballs.
Austin now has something akin to a Hansen’s or Plum St. Thanks, dawlin’!
And there’s a customer loyalty card! Holla!

I love ICE QUEENS…
I got the Chai with cream added and it was so yummy. I want to be able to go back and try the Almond Joy since it is my favorite candy bar next to Butterfinger. We got to try apple pie too and that was really good.
I would recommend for a great snow cone with a fun atmosphere.
