You know it’s summer when Sno-Beach, Austin’s favorite snow cone stand, opens up and huge lines gather to cool off with one of their Hawaiian inspired shaved-ice treats. Some friends and I visited the one at Guadelupe and 34th yesterday.
My friend Rach explains how it works…
Sno-Beach is an Austin icon, and opens up when temperatures hit the 70s. There’s also one on Barton Springs Road – perfect for a refreshing snack on the way back from a day at Barton Springs.
The video below really showcases my (lack of) technical skills…but if you don’t mind a lopsided look click to see what the sno-cones look like!
More photos after the break…
Flavor being added to the shaved ice - I chose 'watermelon'.

haha this is great Sam! Snow cones are my favorite in the summer, and this is the only spot I’ve found in Austin. I recommend blue coconut w/ sour spray on top! but be prepared for the blue mouth!
This sounds good! Is it like a Bahama Bucks? There aren’t any around Austin but there are 2 in Waco.
I love summer because I love sno cones. I am a fan of mixing flavors, particularly cherry with blue raspberry… mmmm
