I would describe this place as a little hidden gem in Pasadena. Easily missed if it weren’t for how busy it can get sometimes. The ladies working there are always friendly and I’m always amazed at how they create these delicious snow cones. It’s definitely worth trying! The only downside is that it’s outside so flies are an issue sometimes if you choose to sit out there and there is nothing keeping them away.
Pretty cool place to go when you have an extra 15 bucks to spend. Their strawberry Lemonade in the Pineapple is top shelf quality. The presentation is dramatically eye catching and the flavors overall dont clash with each other. I have set a goal to complete their menu before I move from the area. Further more, dont let the fancy presentation fool you. Unless you are a conservative drinker who gets the smallest cup available every time, you will not want to share this oral oasis. Its a big presentation but the Pineapple only has enough room for what I would consider a drink for 1 person. But that drink is well worth it! Presentation and quality is a 5 star rating. The parking situation isnt great so be prepared to either wait or arrive at a time where you can get in and out easily.
Holy moly, if you want some refreshing drinks this place does not disappoint!! The presentation alone of their drinks is breathtaking. Everything on the menu is delicious. Prices are very reasonable considering all you get with every drink. This place is great for treating the kids during a hot day. The parking out back isnt the best but you will live. There is plenty of seating outside to enjoy your drinks. We always come here. The staff is super friendly. Come and support the local community.
Not what its cracked up to be.. but good service and a great menu
Coming from out of town I try to find gems like this and today I did! Loved it and my coworker did as well. Service and food was great.. The Agua de melon was so good and the fruit was delicious. Ill definitely be coming back and telling my coworkers about it as well.
The BEST in town! They have so many amazing and beautiful creations and I love that they modify it when possible to fit my lifestyle (I try to avoid sugar and theyve made some awesome things for me to try that are all natural).
Great place to stop and enjoy some cool cold drinks in this hot weather
The kids loved it. Incredibly large portions meant to share. Cute set up and friendly service.
Not the best customer service drink where entirely to sweet the fruit did not feel fresh asked to try something else Being that we could not drink due to it just being to sweet and that you had to pay for another drink if you wanted something else felt over priced 41 for 4 drinks
Delightful & Delicious,Kudos to the Cheerful Artworkinoutside seating charming genuis.! the fruit is always fresh, colorful,& decadently delicious .I like to try a different item on the menu every time I go to get My Brain Freeze Fix . A genuinely delightful experience to remember with a smile (and a full tummy)
It was fantastic, worth the trip.
Don’t like parking but the Brain freezes are worth waiting for!!!!
Brain Freeze is such a sweet place to try! They serve your drinks in mason jars, giving you the of recycle or taking them home with you.
Finally was able to try this place out. Very tasty drink filled up past the top. I got a #5 for $8 something. I think the items are over priced, because yes the drinks are filled passed their limit but overall not even a big bag of candy costs $10 I think that the prices are mostly for the Manson jars, which does make them unique and stand out from other places. The wait is long but its alright bc they do take their time to make great drinks. But overall good place to get a treat once in a while.
Excellent tasting drinks and choices
The snow cones are always perfect! That is all Ive gotten from here so far but Im sure I will be a frequent customer. Very friendly service as well as speedy. Thank you
As you can see from the pictures we tried a variety of drinks and snacks which tasted good overall but just on those items in the pictures were over 50$ all togetherThey make so much money at this establishment that you would assume they would invest the money in proper parking, clean and proper patio furniture and a staff member on the outside cleaning up outside and greeting customers . Therefore -3 starsImprove !! Invest !!
Be ready to walk! You have to park behind the building on a dirt road and walk to the front of the building to place your order. Then walk back behind the building to get in your car. This is an inconvenience; it is not worth it!!
Great service! Quick and clean!! They are creative with their entire menu and so delicious 😋 😍
Love Brain Freeze! Perfect place to go get a drink and watch your childs face light up when they get theirs! Definitely will be back!
Great snowcone place! Awesome creations and great service.
Bad customer service, waited 25 minutes, stood there and closed on my friend before he could order, overall bad experience
If you gonna spend time here..ordering..eating..they could at least have a restroom for you...
When you go once, you’ll be back!
Delicious!! So many options!
My son loves ice cream and Brain Freeze is right up lil mans ally.
Amazing as usual! They took down the pictures of the dishes, but it is still in a menu form. Still cash only, but great value for what you pay. Need a bit more shaded seating option, but the product is amazing!
Great options for kids and adults. They dont seem to have proper staff to meet their customers needs in a timely manner. Be prepared to spend what you would pay for dinner on these tasty treats. Cash only! But they provide a great, original product for a unique dessert experience thats well worth the cost.
The snacks are all so beautiful it just blew my mind! Works of art and good prices. We visited on a week day around 2pm and did not have to wait long. This is a cash only establishment. So bring cash.
The best place ive been too
My literal sweet dreams becoming a reality here
My sno cone was already melted before I walked to my car. I had to drink my sno cone. Not sure, but maybe the syrup needs to be chilled in the refrigerator before using on the ice, otherwise the ice is all melted.
Definitely a spot to hit if youre around the Pasadena area or in the mood to treat ya boo to some good refreshments. The place is a bit pricey with some drinks/ice cream mixtures costing up to $15 each, but for all the ingredients it might be worth it. Always call before going to see theyre open!
They were super friendly and offered to take our order even after just closing. Wonderful staff and great experience!
This place is delicious! Customer service is good. They even customized a sno cone for me! SO good! 😋
The wait is pretty long since the drinks are so large. But in the end the drinks are delicious and sweet! Be aware that one drink can easily feed two people!
I took my daughter here today and will not be going back. I ordered two snow cones which were expensive compared to the price of other places (which are way better). They did not taste good at all, both snow cones ended up in the trash! The worst part was waiting an hour for two plain snow cones. We even asked for a refund because I had to get back to work and they refused and we ended up waiting another 20 minuets. I will stick to Tropical Chill even if I have to drive a little farther.
It was delicious. I would of rated it higher but the inconvenience of Cash only really brings the rating down, plus the price needs to be even if you have people drawing money out. Just saying it’s 2018 get with the times
Great drinks and treats. Their prices are very reasonable for the amount you get, and the service is fast and friendly.
Lite on the flavors...but it was okay
Omg their stuff is tasty and the gal at the counter was really sweet. She must enjoy her job. The parking is horrible.
Great place
Brain freeze is literally the definition of the store because it will leave you with a brain freeze if you are not careful eating it. It is like they got the paletero man and he opened up his own store because that stuff is good smacking good! I warn you though if you are with diabetes or looking for alternative ways to stay healthy then try to limit this location because although this place has yogurt friendly stuff it still has candy within it. the mangos are bomb as heck as well. So if you are showing someone around make sure to take them here.
Absolutely love the treats here. Theres always a crowd and a long wait, but theyre worth it. The prices are a little on the pricier side.
My sister & I ordered two mango swims got our number and waited to be called. I noticed about 5 groups after us were getting their orders before us. Of course I was patient and waited some more. Finally they called us we were the last ones to get our order! Told the girl and she was like oh I’m sorry. Okay sure that’s fine. Then my sister noticed a hair on her drink. As I was enjoying mine moments later there was a hair on the dolphin candy. Yuck. Also they gave us frozen mangos as the topping instead of regular mangos. The worst experience ever and I’m a regular consumer that comes. Hope they get it together and get the orders out in the order received and not to drop hair or wear hair nets! Thanks
Very good treats only issue it the wait time but it’s always worth the wait.
They have all kinds of flavours. They gave you your moneys worth. They taste great.
I love it. Everyone would love there. Go there now. If your parents think its nasty just dont get the shakes get the extreme things with candy. There nachos oml 😍.
Want something crazy delish for summertime? This is the place to go! Their lemonade is the best thing ever
Pretty good ice cream. A little on the expensive side but you get A lot of ice cream for your money. Cash only.
Always find something yummy and looks amazing
The shaved ices are delicious and come in a large variety of flavors. I am a huge fan of the tres leches shaved ice. They always seem to be short staffed so be prepared to wait. Parking is available in the back.
Some of the best and most unique desserts and refreshments. Great options and prices. Well worth the wait.
Love this place...i always order mason jar drinks for keepsake. Love their strawberry lemonade.
I hate that i had to travel so far to get such a delicious treat. But it was worth the drive absolutely amazing treats and it was all put together beautifully.
We enjoy coming here. The wait time is long and the parking is hectic. Overall, we like the variety of drinks they provide!
Portions are very large you can share and delicious.
This place is amazing! Snow cones are average, but all of the drink choices are awesome! I love the Clamato-Maxx for those weekend mornings when I need a little revive. :)
Best place ever! I ordered a #1 which is the xtra special lemonade and it was $10 which I think is pretty good considering they give you a huge masion glass jar that you can keep and they pile the drink with tons of candy! But make sure you bring cash because they dont accept cards.
This place has great snow cones
The drinks are good but they only accept cash with is the only thing keeping this from having 5 stars
Its the best place in town to bring the kids and wife for something frozen to drink .
Parking sucks and items are pricey but pretty good overall.
I had an issue but they took initiative and handled it well and respectively. They really care about their customers and making sure everyone’s experience is a great one to remember.
One word. Yum. Good price and very tasty!
Great big portions, you really get your bang for your buck here. We ordered a double ice cream scoop with a cookie, and it was quite overwhelmeing bc it was so big !!
The raspas/ snowcones are good here!!! I recommend this place!!!
They are very decadent. This is not an everyday tipe place. Prices are very high compared to other locations but their treats are also very much more.
Excellent service, such a fun twist on sweet treats!
Super cute drinks and snacks but really long wait time.
Love it the have good snowcones and they are very friendly there.
Really liked what they had to offer. The only downside is that it’s CASH ONLY.
This place is great!! Fresh fruit is great.
This place makes great stuff fresh when you order it
Delicious drinks and desserts. Great variety.
Best place its so magical here
